Chapter 357: Chapter 261 Innate Attention, Mutual Teaching and Learning: Significant Progress in Wave Riding Micro Steps, Settlement of the Kuihua Manual!
"’Magic Child’ is arrogant, fighting barehanded, yet using the Absolute Skill of Brother Yun Qing, the ’Heavenly Gang Swordsmanship.’ It’s unpredictable, fierce, and domineering."
"Truly worthy of being the son of the Three Fierce."
One of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Black Hawk Sect, the ’White Eyebrow Eagle King’ Yang Wang, glanced down at the ’Magic Child’ fiercely battling the ’Half-human half-demon’. He smiled at the Director of the Xuanwu Department, one of the ’Yanjing Three Fierce’, ’Mountain Opening Sword’ Tan Yunqing, and then smiled at Tian Jing, saying: "The Traveler Department’s ’Hidden Dragon List’ isn’t quite fair. In my opinion, the young Magic Child could completely be ranked second."
Yang Wang spoke boldly.
His words were ambiguous, neither entirely flattering nor sarcastic or inciting.
Tian Jing smirked: "Tan Dou’s strength isn’t weak, and this ’Hidden Dragon List’ is just a trial version; the true first edition will be arranged after the Sword Discussion ends. Eagle King can review it then and give more suggestions to the Traveler Department."
"Suggestions?"
"Haha!"
"I suggest you rank our Sect Hierarch second on the ’Heavenly List,’ my elder sister third, and me fourth. As for the first place, leave it for the Emperor. Would you heed this suggestion?"
Yang Wang laughed heartily.
With that, everyone understood that this was clearly mocking the Traveler Department for being unjust in ranking the ’Heavenly List’ while flattering by placing Emperor Yan at the top, not because of strength, but simply because he is Emperor Yan.
Yang Wang was dissatisfied.
Perhaps he has complained in private many times, but this time he even danced in front of the main character.
Upon hearing this, Tan Yunqing glanced at Yang Wang: "If the Eagle King is not deterred, how about a fight with me? If you win, I’ll let you sit in my eighteenth spot for a while, how does that sound?"
Tan Yunqing is known by the nickname ’Yanjing Three Fierce.’ These ’Three Fierce’ refer to Tan Yunqing’s fierce boxing, fierce leg technique, and fierce swordsmanship!
Boxing!
Leg Technique!
Swordsmanship!
Tan Yunqing is proficient in all three, which is why ’Heavenly List’ places him in the eighteenth position.
Though Yang Wang is arrogant, he is only ranked thirty-second on the ’Heavenly List’ and may not necessarily be a match for Tan Yunqing.
Seeing tension between the two, Emperor Yan smiled and said: "Today is for the younger generation’s competition; we old folks shouldn’t interfere, just spectate, just spectate."
Emperor Yan has a good temper.
After Yang Wang’s mockery, he dared not go too far, laughing heartily and began to ’compliment’ Emperor Yan: "Like father, like sons. Emperor Yan ranks first on the ’Heavenly List’, and his princes and princesses are also outstanding. The Third Prince has completely inherited the ’Wind God’ Lv Xuan’s teachings from the Eight Great Vajra of Eight Phases Mountain; the ’Twenty-Eight Forms of Vajra Unfixed Leg’ is extremely vigorous and rare in the world. The Fifth Princess is a disciple of the Diancang Sect Leader ’Jian Han’ Elder Jin, and her ’Cold Plum Ten Swords’ has reached the Transformation Realm! Ranked in the top ten of the ’Hidden Dragon’ and ’Chufeng’ Lists, well-deserved!"
The Third Prince Ying Jifeng, ranked ninth on the ’Hidden Dragon List.’
The Fifth Princess Ying He, seventh on the ’Chufeng List.’
They are all top contenders on the ’Human List.’
By rights, having outstanding children ought to bring honor to Emperor Yan.
Under normal circumstances, if Yang Wang pointed it out, many would echo a few words.
However, right now—
At the foot of the mountain.
Ying Jifeng fiercely engaged in a brawl with Ying He!
Third Brother!
Fifth Sister!
These Royal siblings are actually fighting internally, with vicious, unrestrained attacks, showing no intention of holding back.
Sibling infighting.
This is a major taboo for the Royal Family!
Everyone acted as though they hadn’t seen it, yet Yang Wang pointed it out, making it hard to believe he wasn’t doing it on purpose.
Tian Jing, worrying about Emperor Yan losing face, immediately mediated: "The Third Prince and Fifth Princess teach and learn techniques amongst themselves, a direct confrontation between ’Hidden Dragon’ and ’Chufeng,’ greatly benefits the Traveler Department’s ’Human List’ formulation. If it were just Hidden Dragons against Hidden Dragons and Chufengs against Chufengs, it would indeed be difficult to arrange the ’Human List.’
Others followed up, one of the Three Saints of Wuji Palace, ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ Hui Zhenzi, smiled at Tian Jing and said: "After this Sword Discussion, the ’Hidden Dragon’ and ’Chufeng’ two lists will undergo a major reshuffle, and the ’Earthly List’ should also be released. Can Lord Tian reveal a little about who will be the top of the ’Earthly List’?"
Thus, the topic shifted, denying Yang Wang the opportunity to cause more trouble.
"Forgive me, Taoist, it must remain confidential."
Tian Jing smiled, yet added: "But I can reveal a little: Brother Xiang Yuan, the senior disciple under the ’Eternal Immortal’ of Wuji Palace is a hot candidate. In addition, Wuji Palace has several others expected to make the list, truly not undeserving of a great sect with hundreds of years of heritage, indeed full of talents!"
The inherently gifted engaged in leisurely conversation.
They talked about the ’Heavenly List’ to the ’Human List,’ then discussed ’Hidden Dragon’ and ’Chufeng’ and finally ’Earthly List.’
At their level, both strength and vision have reached new heights.
High up!
Looking down from atop the cliff!
A single glance at the battles and struggles of a crowd of Heavenly Pride was enough, while focusing mainly on a few significant individuals.
’Hidden Dragon’ and ’Chufeng,’ those ranked below twentieth, occasionally had stunning individuals.
But those at the end of the list received less attention.
For instance, Yan Chuan, like a stray fish, except for Tian Jing and Jiang Bianliu, no one else paid attention to him initially.
Compared to these Innates, it was instead the Traveler Department’s officials who were the most diligent, scattered all around, each holding paper and pen to record every battle. These fightings are crucial data for the subsequent ’Human List’ arrangement by the Traveler Department.
It must be detailed!
No carelessness allowed!
A chaotic fight down the mountain.
During the intense battle, a group of Heavenly Pride talents unconsciously moved towards the mountain base, wanting to climb higher.
The crowd shifted.
Jostling to get ahead.
Naturally forming several ranks.
Some, lacking strength, would immediately fall behind once they strived to lead.
Those slightly stronger squeezed and fought within a group, occupying the middle.
As for the leading strong ones, even amidst intense battle, could secure the forefront as they advanced.
The layout began to take shape.
At this moment, someone noticed among the thousand competitors, some moved like a fish, slipping left and right, weaving east and west, yet as if strolling leisurely in a courtyard, no wind from surrounding palms or fist power even touched him.
