BXBX NOVEL Chapter 626 Master Warrior
The book was the master level warrior ranking, and the tea was the most premium of its kind.
"Xie Baiting, ranking fifth…With his position and his forever unchanging title as the No.1 blade artist, the ranking does him perfect justice. However, I had not expected to see the four warriors ranked above him to be this powerful. They are all martial geniuses from different eras. Although they did not manage to reach the Life and Death Realm, they should not be underestimated. Perhaps they have already reached the half-step king warrior level by now."
There were countless martial geniuses from different eras who could not manage to reach the Life and Death Realm, since judging on the old pattern, there had only been dozens of king warriors in the past century. So on an average, there was only one in every decade. As for the others, no matter how powerful and legendary they were, they still would not manage to end up reaching the Life and Death Realm.
As for half-step king warriors, it was not that easy to become one either. If a warrior could not manage to reach the half step king level warrior within one hundred years, then it would most likely never happen unless she or he could get some extreme rank treasure. These four martial geniuses were only very likely to become half-step king warriors, but it was not certain if they would ever become one, since they were all about one hundred to two hundred years old now. It would be impossible to tell if they had managed to reach half-step king warrior level before reaching one hundred years of age.
It was just like the barbarians who were hunting Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng, who were just close to half-step king warrior level.
"Ranking seventh, Bai Wuxue!"
"Eighth, Lu Shaoyou!"
"Thirteenth, Xia Houzun!"
"Eighteenth, Xiao Chuhe!"
"Twenty-fifth, Princess God Shark!"
Ye Chen had read about the ranking for the top five young warriors.
All of the top five young warriors had got high rankings, and Bai Wuxue had got the highest of them all. He was ranked 7th, which was very close to Xie Baiting. Lu Shaoyou was ranked 8th; then there was Xia Houzun ranked 13th, and Xiao Chuhe at 18th. As for God Shark Princess who was barely seen, had been ranked in 25th, which was the lowest of them all. It seemed that not battling for a long time would affect the ranking as well.
However, Ye Chen did not think that the ranking was that accurate, and it could only be used as a reference for the analysis. It would not be smart to take it too seriously, as it would lead to potential death if one were not careful. For example, if one\'s ranking was higher than one\'s opponent, it would be highly likely to underestimate the other and end up being beaten.
Of course, in Ye Chen\'s opinion, besides the God Shark Princess, the other four warriors\' ranking would be rather reliable amongst the top five young warriors.
Bai Wuxue\'s power was indeed unpredictable. Although it was only slightly higher than Xia Houzun, that Star Nuclear Finger was extremely powerful, and Bai Wuxue had beaten him only by a little. No matter if it was the battling power or the battle experience, it was still unknown, and ranking him at first was not an exaggeration at all. No one would have questioned it at all.
The Sword Master was ranked in front of Xia Houzun mostly because he was a sword artist. After all, Xia Houzun could use his Star Nuclear Finger to control Bai Wuxue, but he could not use it to oppress Lu Shaoyou, since sword artists were good at attacking but not as powerful at defending. Once Lu Shaoyou and Xia Houzun battled, it would only result in a situation where the Star Nuclear Finger would be hard to lock onto its opponent.
But, why was Lu Shaoyou still ranked below Bai Wuxue? The reason was simple: Bai Wuxue was able to beat Xia Houzun when he was being oppressed. Then, while facing Lu Shangyou who was good at head-on battles, he was naturally more calmed. During the battle at the Nine Dragon Lake, Bai Wuxue\'s defense was something that everyone had witnessed.
As for Xiao Chuhe, Ye Chen would not make a judgment quickly, since this person used very simple martial arts. Each movement of his was a killing attack. Encountering him would need fast attacks that could lead to a definite result, which would be very hard. But, it was indeed that which led to a result where his battling style looked way more boring than the others\'.
As for the Godly Shark Princess, Ye Chen had never really met her, so he would not know.
Besides the top five young warriors, the youngest of the top twenty-five were above sixty years in age, while the oldest was approaching two hundred and fifty years.
There were a lot of people who could make it into the master level warrior ranking as well, but those who were more than two hundred and fifty years old wouldn\'t care about the mortal life. Their only wish would be to make it into the Life and Death Realm in their lifetime; otherwise, they would die with nothing left in decades.
In the front page of the ranking, it stated that warriors aged more than two hundred and fifty years old would not be ranked into the ranking. The pavilion would not want to dedicate another ranking for them either and put these old people in another round of intense competition, which would not be something they were devoted for.
"Yeah…Ba Geda, the head master of the Bronze Tiger Tribe, ranked 10?"
Without paying much attention, Ye Chen saw a familiar name on the list…The bronze tiger tribe.
It said that this Ba Geda was the head master of the tribe, aged one hundred and eighty something years old, his power reaching the half-step king warrior.
"Is this that barbarian who chased after Qingcheng and me?"
"If it is really him, then he indeed could be ranked in the top ten. I could not believe that the pavilion had actually gotten this wide range of resources, that even the master level from the barbarian tribes had been recorded."
Back then, if it were not for Murong Qingcheng using her demon power essence by force, it would be almost impossible for them to make it out alive. Even with the Dream Eating Wolf, they did not have one hundred percent confidence.
One of the top three master level blade artists, Lin Chaonan was ranked 19.
The former member of the top three master level blade artist, Shen Qianlang was ranked 28.
The leader of the Snowy Martial Palace, the Snow Sword Master was ranked 39.
Soon, Ye Chen saw his own ranking: 48.
Besides his background, his battles had been recorded with professional commentary.
It said, "In the past one thousand years, there have been four top monster-like martial geniuses. One of them was the Mysterious Queen Yan Qingxuan. As a woman, she figured out the meaning of life and death, and her mysterious art was something that no one could compete with. Then there was Du Gujue and Dantai Mingyue, both of whom are very well known as the top martial geniuses of the Sky Martial Region. Only Ye Chen came from a small out-of-nowhere martial institution and risen all the way to this level. His mind, heart, and endurance is something that no one has seen…"
Ye Chen smiled gently. The comment from the pavilion was rather nice. But, it was just someone else\'s judgment after all, since no one would know about oneself the way one would.
Soon, Ye Chen noticed that someone from the Dragon God palace had made it into the ranking as well. It was indeed the leader of the Yellow Dragon Palace Zhang Zhengguang. Of course, Ye Chen did not think the other leaders of the other four palaces had the right to make it up here, since the palace was in the east shadow sea region, which was already out of the realm of the land. This ranking was technically of the top master level warriors within the land, and the Yellow Dragon palace was indeed within that area.
"There are way too many powerful warriors, and not one of them against whom I have the confidence to compete."
Glancing at the four words on the cover "The Masters of the World", Ye Chen closed the book.
…
On the tenth day back in the South Rudra Region, Murong Zhishui finally finished making the antidote. After taking it, Su Ruhui was completely cured. Not only that, Mysterious Queen had left that blockage inside her body which also made wonders, saving her a whole lot of effort in recovering.
Su Ruhui was fine now, so Murong Shishui and Murong Qingcheng were naturally really happy. That half year of frustration and panic had finally been lifted from their shoulders. Murong Zhishui had even invited everyone for a three-day fest, including Ye Chen\'s family. The two parents finally got together, and there seemed to be the world of things for them to talk about. Eventually, Murong Zhishui and Ye Tianhao even got drunk for the longest time.
…
The peaceful days always went by quite quickly, and another three months had passed within a blink of an eye. Only half a year was left before the promised date for the battle between Du Gujue and Ye Chen.
During these three months, some other things had happened as well, such as Chu Zhongtian finally making it to the Seas of Souls Realm.
He trained the Evil Spirit body, and once he reached Sea of Souls Realm, it would be horrifyingly powerful. He went to the Sky Martial Region alone. He had beaten a lot of young warriors from weak to powerful before heading out to challenge Lin Tian, who had been beaten by Ye Chen before. After exchanging hundreds of attacks, he had won as well. That battling power he showed had caused panic amongst a lot of young warriors.
A lot of people were discussing how Chu Zhongtian might be one of the martial geniuses after the top three ones; what made him different would be his body instead of his martial arts.
The Evil Spirit Body was one of the rarest body types after all.
He did not train Zhen yuan, but instead Evil yuan. When he was at the Astral Reaching Realm, he had already shown a crazily strong power. As he reached the Sea of Souls Realm, that power had increased again. In other words, each realm he got to would offer more advantage with his Evil yuan than for others. The others might need to use profound sense to increase their battling power, but all he needed would be his evil yuan to cancel out this kind of disadvantage for him. It was indeed the type of body that everyone wished they had.
After beating Lin Tian, Chu Zhongtian was not arrogant enough to challenge the top five young warriors, since he knew that his cultivation was still too low. And because of his evil yuan, normal pellets or spirit plants would not be able to improve his early Sea of Souls Realm to the peak level.
However, with him being this popular, his martial school and family naturally could not be happier. They started their searching spree, trying to help him gain even more power, since the future of the school and the family would all be depending on him now.
In comparison to Chu Zhongtian, Jing Aoxuan and Li Xiaoyun, who used to be ranked at the same level and were even somewhat higher, seemed rather dull right now. But of course, they could not be blamed, since their comprehensive ability was already world class, but it would be ordinary in Sky Martial region. They did not have Chu Zhongtian\'s evil spirit body, so they needed to ameliorate their cultivation and other martial arts in order to improve their battling power.
Inside the South Region, only Ye Chen\'s reputation was still hot. Even Chu Zhongtian could not compete with it unless he could have the power to defeat Ye Chen.
If there were Ye Chen and Chu Zhongtian in the South, then there was an extremely outstanding young warrior in the North named Beiming Hui. He and his spear had beaten a lot of young warriors. It was actually nothing inside the Sky Martial Region, since there were so many of them. But, something followed that had shocked everyone—Beiming Hui and Lan Xieqing as well as a young warrior close to the latter got into a fight which caused them to battle with each other. And the result had shocked everyone.
Beiming Hui had managed to chase after Lan Xieqing for hundreds of miles all the way back to his martial school.
After that, everyone thought the new strong ones had all appeared, seeing that countless powerful warriors were emerging in different regions. The south had two top warriors while the north had a shocking martial genius as well. Added with the top five young warriors above them all and those of who had been famous for a long time, the whole land seemed to be in chaos.
But somehow, it was still not over.
In the beginning of March, Du Gujue arranged a battle with someone in the South Crane Lake, and it was indeed Luo Haisong, who was similarly powerful as Lan Tian and Lan Xieqing.
Obviously, millions of people watched the battle.
And there were only ten attacks that were exchanged before Du Gujue won!
