Shangguan Qiushui introduced Ling Chen to all the Heavenly List Experts visible from the high platform. This placed immense pressure on Ling Chen. None of these individuals are to be underestimated, he thought, feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of facing any one of them.
"Why haven't you mentioned anyone from the top ten?" Ling Chen asked, finding it strange. Shangguan Qiushui had only spoken of Experts ranked below the top ten on the Heavenly List, not breathing a word about those within it.
"There's no need," Shangguan Qiushui said, shaking his head. "The tenth rank on the Heavenly List is a watershed. Those who break into the top ten possess not only greater strength but also a loftier perspective. They generally don't deign to fight those outside the top ten, believing it beneath their status.
"So, as long as you don't actively provoke them, you'll be fine. It's best to simply avoid them."
