Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 413: Tang Shenting’s Doubt, Shi Mie’s Fury
Chapter 413: Tang Shenting's Doubt, Shi Mie’s Fury
Tang Shenting retracted his fist and exhaled, frowning as he looked at the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking.
Just as the nearby Demon-Suppressing Guard had said.
The second place on the Human Ranking had changed from Shi Mie of the Blood God Fortress to a completely unfamiliar name.
"Xuanwu Fortress, Yellow-Rank Demon-Suppressing Guard, Shen Mo?"
Tang Shenting chewed on this name, extremely surprised.
Since when could a Yellow-Rank Demon-Suppressing Guard reach second place on the Human Ranking?
Not to mention second place—even making it into the top two hundred was rare for Yellow-Rank Demon-Suppressing Guards.
The entire Human Ranking listed a thousand names, and the top eight hundred were all Black-Rank Demon-Suppressing Guards.
There were years when the entire Human Ranking consisted solely of Black-Rank names.
After all, the ten fortresses had at least three hundred thousand Demon-Suppressing Guards.
Unless a Yellow-Rank Demon-Suppressing Guard had heaven-defying luck, it was nearly impossible to achieve more merit than a Black-Rank.
Tang Shenting was very familiar with Shi Mie.
Shi Mie’s military exploits had always been biting at his heels, relentlessly pursuing him.
Now this Shen Mo had suddenly surpassed Shi Mie, which left him puzzled.
More importantly, he had never heard of this person before.
Could he be some hidden ace from Xuanwu Fortress?
"Look into this Shen Mo, find out who he is," Tang Shenting said casually.
Someone unexpected taking second on the Human Ranking only surprised him; he didn’t really care.
He had dominated the first place on the Human Ranking for ten full years.
Pressing Shi Mie down so hard he couldn’t breathe.
No one could surpass him.
Shen Mo wouldn’t be able to either.
The first places of the three Golden Rankings not only earned monthly merit rewards but also granted one important treasure every year.

At the end of each year, the top of the Human Ranking would receive a Visualization Diagram!
The contents of the Visualization Diagram were unknown, but the top-ranking Demon-Suppressing Guard could submit a general request.
And the Visualization Diagram was a treasure coveted by cultivators in the Divine Palace Realm and Venerable Realm alike!
It was the best choice for condensing a Dharma Form for those in the Divine Palace and Venerable Realms!
Tang Shenting was currently suppressing his cultivation on purpose, just to stay at the top of the Human Ranking a few more years and collect more Visualization Diagrams.
In order to condense the most powerful Dharma Form!
Once in the Dharma Form Realm, there would be a massive leap in strength.
Since he had this ability, he was determined to obtain the strongest Dharma Form.
He would not settle for anything less.
"Continue training."
Tang Shenting let out a turbid breath.
With a punch carrying wind and thunder, he struck the wooden dummy with overwhelming force!
…
Blood God Fortress.
This fortress was entirely blood-red, as if covered in a layer of blood that would never dry.
It was also the most powerful among the four demon race fortresses.
At the highest point of the Blood God Fortress was an enormous martial training ground.
This training ground was exclusively for the direct bloodline of the Lion Clan.
No other demon race dared approach it.
Even collateral branches of the Lion Clan weren’t allowed.
At this moment, two figures were clashing in the center of the arena.
One was a giant lion covered in golden fur.
The other was a massive black bear.
Though the lion was huge, it was still slightly smaller than the bear.
However, the bear, despite its imposing physique, was at a disadvantage the whole time.
Soon, wounds covered the bear’s body.
He cried out in pain and kept backing away. "Young Master, stop hitting! I surrender! I surrender!"
Only then did the giant lion laugh heartily and leap back.
Its teeth and claws were drenched in blood.
He was Shi Mie, direct fourth-generation descendant of Shi Tian, the Demon-Suppressing General of the Blood God Fortress.
The giant bear on the ground was named Xiong Da. He had grown up with Shi Mie, which was why he was allowed to train in the arena.
Xiong Da chuckled. "Young Master, you’re too strong. Now that the Human Ranking has descended, you must have taken first place!"
At those words, Shi Mie snorted coldly. "What nonsense! What do the humans say again? Speak of the devil and he shall appear!"
"Tang Shenting’s strength is formidable. His merit points have suppressed mine for ten years."
“Too bad… I still haven’t been able to get the Visualization Diagram for first place on the Human Ranking…”
Xiong Da quickly said, “Young Master, you’re a peerless warrior! Sooner or later you’ll surpass that Tang Shenting!”
“Besides, I heard that Tang Shenting has been suppressing his cultivation for a long time. I think he won’t be able to hold it down much longer.”
Shi Mie nodded. “Let’s hope so.”
Just then, golden light flashed across the sky.
Xiong Da said excitedly, “Young Master, the Human Ranking has appeared! Hehe, I wonder if I can make it into the top hundred this time.”
Shi Mie couldn’t be bothered to look and was about to rinse the blood off his body with water.
But at that moment, Xiong Da suddenly froze in shock. “Y-Young Master! Second place… Second place…”
Shi Mie said impatiently, “What is it?”
Xiong Da quickly replied, “Second place isn’t you anymore. It’s a Yellow-Rank Demon-Suppressing Guard from Xuanwu Fortress!”
Shi Mie was utterly stunned and immediately turned around.
Sure enough, on the enormous golden ranking in the sky, the name ranked second was that of a Yellow-Rank Demon-Suppressing Guard from Xuanwu Fortress.
The name was “Shen Mo”!
Shi Mie was now in third place.
“What’s going on?” Shi Mie was dumbfounded.
He couldn’t understand—where did this person suddenly come from?
Last time, just ten days ago when the Golden Ranking appeared, that name hadn’t been there.
How could someone suddenly shoot to second place within ten days?
It was simply unbelievable!
Xiong Da scratched his head, just as baffled.
“Go investigate—now! I want to know everything about this Shen Mo!” Shi Mie growled.
Xiong Da jumped up immediately and nodded vigorously.
Shi Mie’s expression turned dark.
Who exactly was this Shen Mo?
Too strange!
The same scene unfolded across all the fortresses.
Every Demon-Suppressing Guard was baffled.
Who exactly was this Shen Mo who suddenly appeared in second place?
Aoran from Panlong Fortress, Lang Po from Xiaoyue Fortress, Hu Sha from Blood God Fortress… along with numerous other top-ranked Demon-Suppressing Guards on the Heavenly Dao Human Ranking, all stared at the list in astonishment.
They too were wondering—who was Shen Mo?
…
Xuanwu Fortress.
Li Heitan saw the change on the Human Ranking—and saw a familiar name.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, double-checking to see if it was just someone with the same name.
But after confirming it read Xuanwu Fortress, Yellow-Rank Demon-Suppressing Guard, he jumped up in shock.
“Holy crap! Brother Shen made it onto the Human Ranking!”
He immediately raised a ruckus.
Li He, Sun Kong, and Zhao Xin were all stunned.
Shi Dingyue was in the middle of cultivation, but came out of the tent when he heard the commotion.
“What? Shen Mo made it onto the Human Ranking? No way.” Shi Dingyue’s tone was casual. “Let me guess… ranked in the 900s?”
“It’s insanely difficult for a Yellow-Rank Demon-Suppressing Guard to get on the Human Ranking.”
“Still, it shows that fighting bravely is the only way to make it on the list. You all need to learn from Shen Mo.”
Li Heitan swallowed hard. “Boss, are you sure second place on the Human Ranking can be reached just by fighting bravely?”
“That kind of merit probably requires killing a True Demon Sovereign from the Peak Realm!”
Li He, Sun Kong, and Zhao Xin all saw the list too—and were completely shocked.
They just couldn’t believe it.
At that moment, Shen Mo walked out of the tent.
Seeing himself ranked second on the Human Ranking, he clicked his tongue.
He hadn’t expected that even after spending so many merit points, he would still end up in second place.
Miscalculated.
Had he known, he would have spent a bit more to land around the hundredth spot—that would’ve been better.
Shen Mo felt a little helpless.
The Human Ranking didn’t display specific merit points—only placement.
He hadn’t thought the gap between first and second place would be so small.
Li Heitan, Shi Dingyue, and the others quickly gathered around Shen Mo, eyes shining.
“Brother Shen! What exactly did you do?!”
