I Can Level Up By Staying Idle

"What lousy ranking!?"

In a city north of Xia country.

At a certain martial arts junior high school.

The junior high school student who had once been abused by Black Earth, nicknamed "God of Slaughter", started cursing in the classroom.

"Which idiot made up the rankings? Does he know how strong Black Earth is?"

"A rank 4 combat technique is actually ranked 47th? Rank my ass!"

"If I were to rank, I would definitely rank Black Earth first! Let me ask you—in the entire Xia country's Genius List, other than Black Earth, who can slap my face?"

Previously, the God of Slaughter hated Black Earth so much; now, he idolized him so much! After all… he became a popular person in school because he had been slapped by Black Earth!

In their junior high school, countless students were envious of the God of Slaughter's face!

However, the "God of Slaughter" was still too young. He didn't know that there was an idiom called "loose lips cause trouble"!

A few days later.

A short video of "God of Slaughter" was trending online.

In the short video, the God of Slaughter was high-spirited and insufferably arrogant. He even shouted, "Let me ask you—in the entire Xia country's Genius List, other than Black Earth, who can slap my face?"

Naturally, there were also geniuses on the Genius List who saw this short video. They felt offended and also issued an invitation to spar with the God of Slaughter.

The God of Slaughter looked at the large number of invitation cards and fell into a deep dilemma.

'To fight?'

He was clearly there to be slapped! If he really accepted all these challenges, his face would probably swell!

'To not fight?'

Was such a good opportunity to become famous wasted?

Jiangnan Prefecture, Haicheng City.

Gao Feng also saw this year's "Xia Country's Genius List".

"Our Jiangnan Prefecture's Black Earth is indeed on the Genius List!" Gao Feng was not surprised.

Gao Feng had watched the live broadcast of Liu Zhonghao being beaten up by Black Earth. Later on, Black Earth went on a rampage in the novice training field and even caused the genius Zhou Qingfeng to go berserk… Therefore, Gao Feng had long expected that Black Earth would definitely be on the Xia country's Genius List.

"Black Earth's mental talent is indeed shocking! However…" Gao Feng did not pay much attention to the unfamiliar Black Earth. Instead, he thought of his good brother, Lin Mo, who had just become sworn brothers with him last night. "My brother is already a Celestial Martial Artist without any cultivation resources! It can be seen that his physical growth talent is not inferior to Black Earth's mental talent!"

Gao Feng would never have thought that "Black Earth" was actually his brother, Lin Mo!

"Unfortunately, my brother Lin Mo is really too low-key! Otherwise, with his strength, he would definitely be on the rankings!" Gao Feng sighed to himself. "But it doesn't matter… In any case, before the results of the martial arts college entrance examination are all out, the names and rankings on the Xia country's Genius List will change in real time! Only when the dust has completely settled will the Genius List be finally decided! At that time, my brother Lin Mo's name will definitely be on the rankings!"

Thinking of this, Gao Feng couldn't help but feel honored!

If his brother could be ranked on the Xia country's Genius List, he would definitely be respected!

Gao Feng, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but call his other good brother, CEO Yu Buxiao of the Jiangnan Prefecture's Martial Arts Department.

"Spa time?" As soon as the call connected, Yu Buxiao's expectant voice came from the other end.

"Is this the only thing I can call you about?" Gao Feng rolled his eyes. "I'm here to make a bet with you this time!"

"A bet?" Yu Buxiao's voice became serious. "Ah Feng, you've changed! Back in the outer realm battlefield, you and I swore an oath together: 'I will not live under the same sky as gambling poison'! Have you forgotten?"

"Of course I didn't forget!" Gao said.

"Since you haven't forgotten, why didn't you look for me for a spa, but for a bet?" Yu Buxiao teased.

"Get lost!" Gao Feng scolded jokingly. "It's a good thing! I bet that when the final rankings of the Xia country's Genius List are set this year, our Jiangnan Prefecture will have two names on the rankings!"

"Oh?" Yu Buxiao was interested now. "Could it be that you have some information that even I don't know about?"

"I can't tell you that now!" Gao chuckled. "Let's just say whether to make the bet!"

Jingdu City.

Martial Arts Administration, Primordial Universe Beginner Village Management Group.

"Deputy Team Leader Yuan, with my combat skills and my identity as a Psychic… If I hadn't lost to Black Earth to help you, there would be no doubt that I would be in the top ten of the Genius List, right?"

Zhou Qingfeng was asking Deputy Team Leader Yuan for an explanation.

"This Xia country's Genius List is compiled by your Martial Arts Administration! When you were ranking, didn't you put in a good word for me? Now that I'm ranked 18th, where should I put my face?"

"Qingfeng, you've misunderstood!" Deputy Team Leader Yuan hurriedly explained, "I'm just trying to lower that 'Black Earth's ranking. Look, he's only at the fourth rank, but he's actually ranked 47th. Isn't this unprecedented? What about you… After all, you've lost to Black Earth before, so your ranking can't be too high!"

"Black Earth's ranking is indeed very ugly! This makes me very comfortable!" Zhou Qingfeng said. "But many people are also laughing at my ranking!"

"No, Qingfeng! You're different from Black Earth!" Deputy Team Leader Yuan said, "Before the final rankings are set, the rankings can be changed! With your strength, it's definitely not difficult to increase your ranking! As for Black Earth… his ranking can only be reduced!"

"Eh? That seems to be the case!" Zhou Qingfeng's eyes lit up. "He's a fourth-rank genius. It will be really embarrassing if his ranking on the Genius List falls to the 70th or 80th place, or even lower!"

"Now do you understand my intentions?" Deputy Team Leader Yuan said. "So, for the time being, I'll have to let you suffer a little!"

"No, it's fine!" Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand domineeringly, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. "I'll prove soon that I have the strength of the top ten of the Genius List!"

Haicheng City Martial Arts High School.

Principal Yan thought for an entire day and could not think of who he had offended, nor did he think of a way to keep his position as principal.

"If I knew what I had done to offend someone, I could have thought of a way! But until now, I still don't have any clue what's going on!" Principal Yan frowned.

If this continued, he even suspected that his eyebrows would fall off from worry!

Suddenly—

Principal Yan saw a familiar name on the "Xia country's Genius Ranking" that had just been announced.

7th: Yan Yimo (Demon City)
