I choose a C ranked hero in another world, I was mocked online-Chapter 383: Top-Tier S-Rank Expert!

Chapter 383: Top-Tier S-Rank Expert!

The small man who flew up from the Wa country wasn’t tall—about the same height as Hu Zhong—but less muscular. He looked thin and compact.

However, his aura was even sharper than Hu Zhong’s. One could say he radiated killing intent.

Chen Ye, having fought for so long in the secret realm, clearly understood—people with such a presence must have taken many lives.

Only by killing could one cultivate that level of bloodthirst.

The man from the Wa country didn’t bother to conceal his aura. The moment it washed over them, the two accompanying officers felt unsettled. Even Zhao Hu’s brows tightened slightly.

Hu Zhong was momentarily stunned, then his expression darkened.

This man from the Wa country seemed even stronger than the last time they met...

Only Chen Ye and the Director-General remained unmoved atop the massive flying sword, unaffected by his arrival.

"Director Han."

The man from the Wa country bowed slightly, showing respect as he said, "Pardon the interruption. I hope I haven’t caused offense."

Seeing that the Director-General said nothing, Hu Zhong stepped forward.

"Terauchi Ando, what are you doing here?"

The one called Terauchi Ando didn’t answer directly. His eyes swept across the group, pausing briefly on the unfamiliar faces of Zhao Hu and Chen Ye, before asking curiously, "Hu Zhong-san, where is Bloodhand-kun?"

Hu Zhong replied coldly, "I asked you first."

Only then did Terauchi Ando smile and say, "I’ve come to propose a cooperation. This tournament—"

Before he could finish, Hu Zhong waved a hand dismissively.

"Don’t bother with nonsense. No matter how you try to dress it up, I’m not cooperating with you people from the Wa country!"

Terauchi Ando’s expression faltered for a second, but he quickly smiled again and said, "Hu Zhong-san, seems you’re holding quite a grudge. Still upset that you lost to me in the last dungeon?"

Hu Zhong’s face turned even darker.

The man didn’t bother to sugarcoat it. "So what if I am? I can’t stand you stunted Wa country pests. Nothing more to say—get lost!"

Hearing that, Chen Ye couldn’t help but regard Hu Zhong with new appreciation.

His open disdain for those from the Wa country—Chen Ye liked that.

Terauchi Ando’s smile finally disappeared. He turned to the Director-General.

"Director Han..."

Without even turning his head, the Director-General replied flatly, "This tournament prohibits S-ranks. Old Hu speaks for me. If he refuses, there’s nothing more to discuss."

Terauchi Ando said nothing more and left.

His body transformed into blazing lava and shot skyward, speed rivaling the flying sword.

Of course, the Director-General’s flying sword carried passengers, so it had to maintain a manageable pace. Its true speed was definitely much faster.

Even as Terauchi Ando vanished into the sky, Hu Zhong continued cursing.

"Damn Wa country show-off!"

At that moment, Zhao Hu spoke up. "Director Hu, why not hear him out?"

Hu Zhong paused, then said, "What’s the point? People from the Wa country are rotten inside. Can’t trust a word they say."

Zhao Hu nodded silently.

...

The flying sword soared for nearly two hours before arriving at their destination.

A nameless island.

The island was already packed with various flying craft, along with many tents—clearly, a large number of reincarnators had arrived in advance.

Near the coastal open space, a temporary arena had been constructed. A crowd of reincarnators surrounded it, eagerly awaiting the start of the tournament.

When the Director-General’s massive flying sword arrived, countless gazes turned toward it.

"A flying giant sword? Incredible! Who rides something like that?"

"You don’t know Han, the S-rank expert from Xia Country? That sword is his signature ride."

"So cool!"

"Rumor has it that sword is Han’s life-bound weapon. Destroy it, and you’ll severely wound him..."

"Shh! Are you crazy? Saying things like that out loud?"

"Just a rumor, that’s all..."

The Director-General seemed used to such attention. Upon arrival, he led his people to a high platform beside the arena.

Many such platforms surrounded the fighting ring.

Each one belonged to a different country’s participants. Ordinary reincarnators were not allowed on them.

Some platforms were already occupied.

The arrival of the Director-General’s group drew attention from other top reincarnators.

But no one came over to talk.

Most reincarnators didn’t get along to begin with.

Just as Chen Ye and the others sat down—

Several dark figures appeared in the distant sky.

The Director-General and Chen Ye looked up simultaneously, sensing something.

Hu Zhong and the others reacted slightly slower.

Chen Ye had excellent vision. Even at such a great distance, he saw that the black dots were all people.

Five in total.

Four from overseas, and one darker-skinned man.

They flew swiftly without any tools, enveloped in glowing white auras.

Chen Ye recognized the flying technique at once—it was Bukūjutsu from the "Dragon Ball" world.

What caught his eye most was the man in the center.

He had a powerful build, sharp features, and eyes like blades.

Chen Ye wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but this man gave off a distinct sense of danger...

"That’s Adam and his team," Hu Zhong said quietly, his tone serious.

Chen Ye turned to him—then noticed the Director-General’s normally calm expression had become stern.

Seeing that, Chen Ye immediately understood—that man must be the Director-General’s great rival.

And then—

Information about "Adam" surfaced in Chen Ye’s mind.

His name was Martin Claire. "Adam" was his codename in the Lord God Space.

In Western mythology, Adam was the name of the first man—a symbol of godhood.

For Martin to use that name showed his ambition.

And his strength matched his ambition.

Rumor had it that Adam was the strongest reincarnator in the Lord God Space.

(His overall power reached S-rank, thus automatically removed from the public leaderboard.)

He had once ranked number one and was the first reincarnator to reach S-rank.

He possessed the Super Saiyan bloodline and had already awakened it—reaching even the second stage.

It was said—

That in a Star Wars instance, Adam once used a single energy blast to destroy a small planet.

A true planet-busting powerhouse!

...

As Adam’s group approached—

The crowd erupted in gasps.

"That’s Adam and his squad!"

"No wonder they’re called the Emperor Team. That pressure is immense."

"And that guy—he’s the strongest A-rank reincarnator right now, isn’t he? The one at the top of the expert list—Burial?"

"It’s definitely him!"

"I heard Burial carries a trace of Frieza’s bloodline?"

"The most terrifying one is still Adam. Rumor says he’s reached Super Saiyan 2. He could destroy the Earth in a matter of minutes." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Damn... seeing these top-tier powerhouses in person really shows how huge the gap is between us..."

The arrival of Adam’s group caused quite a stir.

Adam even deliberately waved to the crowd, flashing a dazzling smile like a superstar among reincarnators.

And truth be told—

He did have quite a few crazed fans. As soon as he waved, waves of cheers erupted from the crowd.

Hu Zhong curled his lips in disdain at the scene but didn’t dare say anything.

He knew full well that reincarnators with high spiritual attributes had terrifying hearing. Even from this far, they could still catch whispers of insult.

Chen Ye quietly observed Adam.

He had always kept a low profile and refrained from going on a killing spree—precisely because of this man.

Without a doubt, this man would be the greatest obstacle in his plan to "cleanse Earth’s reincarnators."

As if sensing Chen Ye’s gaze—

Adam, standing on a high platform across the arena, suddenly looked over and waved in this direction, greeting them warmly like an old friend.

Chen Ye knew the gesture wasn’t meant for him—it was directed at the Director-General.

At this point, he still had no reputation. To Adam, he was just another faceless subordinate.

The Director-General, however, showed no reaction to Adam’s greeting.

The next moment—

"Boom!"

A thunderous sonic boom rang out.

Then—

A massive warrior from the southern continent flew in at high speed.

Due to his incredible velocity, he was wrapped in dense shockwaves, stirring violent air currents.

He wore a skintight suit that exaggerated his muscular frame.

Behind him, a red cape fluttered fiercely in the wind.

Chen Ye’s mind instantly recalled this man’s information—

Sharman Sud.

A reincarnator with Superman lineage.

One of the four S-rank powerhouses in the Lord God Space.

Though Sharman had inherited the Superman bloodline, his actual strength had already far surpassed the original. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have earned the S-rank title.

Becoming an S-rank reincarnator in the Lord God Space required extraordinarily strict qualifications.

Every single one of them possessed the power to destroy entire worlds!

When Sharman appeared, Chen Ye noticed the Director-General’s face remained calm, completely unimpressed. Adam too showed no expression.

Got it.

This guy was likely at the bottom of the S-rank hierarchy...

Only the average reincarnators were in awe, marveling at his speed and entrance.

Sharman clearly enjoyed the spotlight.

He intentionally circled the island before landing, soaking up the crowd’s cheers.

Over the past year, Chen Ye had heard plenty of rumors about this man.

Supposedly, Sharman was extremely lustful. He had more than seventy wives—and just last month, he married a 16-year-old beauty.

Even more outrageous, the Prime Minister of his homeland had offered all three of his daughters to Sharman in marriage just to win him over.

In his country, Sharman held a status akin to a monarch.

...

Afterward—

Chen Ye kept looking forward to the arrival of the fourth S-rank powerhouse.

Compared to the well-known Director-General, Sharman, and Adam, the fourth S-rank had almost no reputation.

If not for the statue erected in the Lord God Space in honor of his S-rank status, many reincarnators wouldn’t even know he existed.

(Once a reincarnator’s overall power reached S-rank, the Lord God Space’s plaza would display their personal statue...)

This person was a true recluse—his name never appeared on any ranking lists.

Very little information was available about him.

Chen Ye waited for a long time, but the fourth S-rank expert never showed.

He couldn’t help asking Hu Zhong beside him, "Director Hu, where’s the last S-rank powerhouse? Why hasn’t he appeared?"

Hu Zhong swept his eyes across the crowd and replied, "He’s far too low-profile. No one even knows if he’s come."

Hearing this, Chen Ye scanned the crowd as well but found nothing and retracted his gaze.

Although a statue existed in the Lord God Space for that mysterious S-rank, the place was filled with bizarre tools and rare items. Many of them could alter one’s appearance and size. If that powerhouse intended to stay hidden, it would be impossible to identify him.

After all, this tournament didn’t require S-rank reincarnators to participate.

The person could easily remain hidden in the crowd, silently observing the fights.

...

At exactly 10:00 a.m.—

A reincarnator tasked with hosting the tournament spoke out:

"Time’s up. The joint martial competition officially begins."

"Please have Mr. Han Li reinforce the arena!"

The Director-General stood up at the announcement.

This had already been planned ahead of time.

The destructive power of top-tier A-rank reincarnators was simply too overwhelming. Any ordinary arena wouldn’t last a single match.

With ease and grace, the Director-General walked through the air, heading toward the arena.

That’s right—

He walked. In midair!

Reaching the space above the ring, he produced four small flags. With a casual flick, the flags flew to the four corners of the arena and simultaneously burst into golden radiance, enveloping the entire platform.

In an instant, the ring shone with golden light.

The dazzling spectacle drew astonished gasps from the crowd.

Even the top-level figures on the surrounding platforms looked on with varied expressions.

But the Director-General wasn’t finished. He raised a single hand—

"Rumble!"

The entire arena rose into the air, hovering about five meters above ground.

Then, with a flick of his finger, he drew in the sky using clouds as his brush—instantly inscribing a spell formation in the air!

It was an awe-inspiring display—like divine magic from a celestial world.

As the formation landed upon the arena, a faint image of a dragon-turtle appeared.

At this moment, the ring had become indestructible!

As long as the spell’s power remained, this arena would be the sturdiest ground on the entire Earth.

Moreover, faint waves of magical force surrounded the arena, clearly intended to shield onlookers from the fallout of A-rank battles.

If any expert from a cultivation world had been present, they would have immediately recognized the formation drawn by the Director-General—it was the Xuanwu Formation!

The name might sound plain, but the Xuanwu Formation was a legendary array in cultivation worlds, commonly used by great sects to protect their mountains.

After completing all this, the Director-General floated back to his seat.

Everyone watched his figure with awe, like beholding a god.

Even Adam gazed at him with deep interest.

And with that—

The tournament began!
