Chapter 5688
- “Who’s David Bishop? How did he replace Simon and rank 65th on the scoreboard?” Those who kept an eye on the scoreboard of the upper realm in the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm were shocked to discover the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar name. This person made it into the top 70 as soon as he appeared on the scoreboard. Moreover, based on the points he accumulated, it seemed like he only had roughly thirty points before he obtained 223 points after eliminating Simon. “Simon was ranked 69th on the scoreboard, but this person ranks 65th after eliminating Simon!” “It’s unexpected for Simon to be eliminated. This person can’t be a nobody, but I’ve never heard of him before today.” “David Bishop? This name sounds familiar.” “Did you say David Bishop? I remember there was a famous prodigy from the Duncan Mansion who was invincible in the middle realm thirty years ago...” “Do you think they’re the same person?” “Impossible! The gap between their strength is too wide... Do you think a Ten Directions Celestial Duke is capable of defeating someone like Simon when only thirty years have passed? What a joke!” “Simon’s a veteran in the upper realm. Although he hasn’t comprehended any profundity from the law of fire to the initial stage, he has comprehended all nine profundities from the law of fire to the rudimentary stage. Coupled with his Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, he should be able to defeat ordinary Ten Directions Celestial Kings as long as they haven’t comprehended any profundity to the initial stage.” There was a huge commotion in all of the safe zones in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm due to the new name that suddenly rose to 65th place on the scoreboard. Naturally, there were other members from the Duncan Mansion who had entered the upper realm as well. They were shocked when they saw David Bishop’s name on the upper realm’s scoreboard. Nevertheless, they did not think the newcomer on the scoreboard was the same person as the David Bishop from their mansion. It did not matter if David Bishop was powerful enough to become the Imperial Tutor of the Duncan Mansion or how talented he was. They did not think it was possible for a Ten Directions Celestial Duke to improve so much after only thirty years. ... Meanwhile, Harry Bishop, a Ten Directions Celestial King from the Phantom Fox Clan, was making his way toward David Bishop and Sia. “David Bishop is ranked 65th on the scoreboard?” Harry Bishop discovered David Bishop’s rank when he checked the scoreboard through his Identity Jade Token out of curiosity. After a while, he muttered to himself, “I didn’t expect that woman whom we suspect to be the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox to possess such strength! She’s actually capable of eliminating Simon!” Based on Harry Bishop’s words, it was obvious he did not think David Bishop eliminated Simon. He assumed Sia had eliminated Simon and conceded the points to David Bishop. He had arrived at this conclusion because he had met David Bishop in the Duncan Mansion thirty years ago when David Bishop had just become a One Basic Celestial King. It would be considered an amazing feat if David Bishop could become a Two Forms Celestial King within thirty years. Even then, it was impossible for David Bishop to be able to eliminate Simon with that sort of strength. Moreover, a few thousand years ago, before he comprehended any of his profundities to the initial stage, he only managed to fight to a draw with Simon. Harry Bishop’s expression gradually grew more and more solemn as he thought to himself, ‘That girl killed Elliot Page, a core disciple of the Wind Thunder Dao Sect, without the need to use a Celestial Weapon. She’s even capable of eliminating Simon... I’m afraid I might not be able to defeat her...’ When Harry Bishop considered Sia’s strength, he had taken Sia’s Royal Grade Celestial Weapon into account. He thought it was impossible for her not to possess a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. With David Bishop’s status in the Duncan Mansion, it was not difficult for David Bishop to obtain a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon for Sia. ‘In any case, I still have to probe her strength and test her abilities even if I’m not a match for her... Worse comes to worst, I’ll just crush my Identity Jade Token to escape at the critical moment.’ Harry Bishop felt more at ease after thinking about this and sighed in relief. In the past, if someone had told him a Six Combos Celestial King was capable of defeating him, he would never have believed it. However, at this moment, he had no choice but to believe it. ... Meanwhile, David Bishop and Sia, who were unaware that a member of the Phantom Fox Clan was swiftly closing in on them, traveled in a straight line. Since he was not familiar with the upper realm yet, he thought it was better to stick to one direction. After David Bishop’s battle with Simon, he allowed Sia to fight all the opponents they encountered. With this, she became more and more famous as she slowly and steadily rose on the scoreboard. “Hm?” While David Bishop waited for Sia to rejoin him after she eliminated yet another opponent, he suddenly narrowed his eyes. It seemed like he had noticed something. Similarly, Sia turned around and looked in the distance as though she had sensed something as well. Soon enough, a grey-clad old man appeared before the duo. He looked at David Bishop and said with a faint smile on his face, “Imperial Tutor David, we meet again.” Before David Bishop could reply, the grey-clad old man continued to say with a smile, “Imperial Tutor David, it’s been thirty years since we last met. Do you remember me?” “You’re the man who accompanied Branch Leader Otto from the Phantom Fox Clan during his visit to the Duncan Mansion thirty years ago.” David Bishop remembered the person in front of him was one of the two old men who stood behind Otto thirty years ago. He did not expect to meet this person in the upper realm at all. “Since the branch leader was around previously, it wasn’t appropriate for me to speak. Let me introduce myself to you today, Imperial Tutor David. I’m Harry Bishop, an elder of the Phantom Fox Clan’s branch in the Southern Heaven Territory,” the grey-clad old man said. ‘Harry Bishop?!’ David Bishop’s eyes widened imperceptibly when he heard Harry Bishop’s name. Since he had just looked at the scoreboard fifteen minutes ago, he easily recalled that Harry Bishop was ranked 52nd in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Soon enough, David Bishop’s expression turned solemn, and killing intent began to stir in his heart when he saw Harry Bishop appraising Sia.
