Lord of the Desert

Chapter 68
Streets, shop doors, windows...

Everyone's eyes gathered together, looking at the highest place of the list.

The name ranked first and typesetting in the center is "Qizhen Shanhe-Xiao Ding", and the name on the lower left is "Vitality Runner-Guan Qimai".

The chaotic drum noise rose up, and was immediately suppressed by a loud voice.

It was the yamen servant of the Martial Arts Academy who was guarding the flagpole and began to report the list with a correct accent.

The people in Jinhai City can read a few words, but not many can read without barriers, so someone needs to read the list.

"Zhenshan Wang ranks first on the list, and Shan Chang ranks second. It's still the same."

Ding Yushi pressed the window sill and said.

"The tenth issue of this year should have been published a month ago in Shenjing."

The head of the mountain he was talking about was referring to Guan Qimai - this person was in charge of the martial arts academy, and he was ranked the first rank in the dynasty.

The Tianbang is short, with less than ten names in total.

Under these names, there are only a few information such as title, age, place of origin, exercises, etc., which occupy up to two lines.

Hong Fan swept his eyes and quickly pulled to the bottom of the list.

The last martial sage was Shi Haoran, the patriarch of the Sacred Heart Sect with the title of "Nothing Beyond the Heart", who was 78 years old at the time.

Below him is the list of hundreds of people written in a smaller font.

The first one is the ancestor of Guofeng family in Huaiyang, "one thousand miles away" Fengjianke, who was 170 years old at the time.

Compared with the martial arts saint, the introduction of the master of the Dibang is more full. Apart from the martial arts killing method, there is also the most representative record.

Just as Hong Fan was browsing down the rankings and trying to memorize the information with the previous life memory method, he was interrupted by an exclamation from the third floor.

"The top spot on the Tianjiao list has changed!"

Everyone heard the words and looked quickly, and they saw that "Liuyun" Kou Yong, who was originally ranked first, had dropped to second.

The new one to reach the top is Gu Yixin, who was praised by Zheng Fuyu before.

However, his current title has changed from "Spirit of the Gun" to "Queen of the Gun".

['Gun Chief' Gu Yixin, a native of Maoyan, Shengzhou, was born in Zhenghe four years ago, and he is a hero without fear. 】

Hong Fan read this person's introduction silently.

【Practicing the "Step Throwing King Kong Code", the congenital Liuhe is perfect, holding a simple iron gun, said to be a remnant of the ancient battlefield;】

[I started practicing martial arts at the age of 14, and I have no hindrance in improving spear skills. I know ten after hearing it;]

[In February of the 26th year of Zhenghe, he visited the Shura Sect in Xijing and defeated the 'Little Fighting Emperor' Qu Luoyi with three moves;]

[January 27, challenged the 'Jiguang Movie' Yishe in Shenjing, seven guns and seven holes;]

【September of the 27th year of Zhenghe, made an appointment to fight 'Liuyun' Kou Yong in Linyuan, Zhanzhou, and nailed Kou Yong's palm through a hundred moves. 】

"It's actually the leader of the leaderboard who was defeated head-on..."

Hong Sheng clenched his fists and sighed, hesitant to speak.

At this time, the person who reported the list had just reached the top of the list.

Hong Fan continued to look down, sweeping all the way to the end of the yellow list.

[Tianjiao List No.80 Seven: 'Chasing the Wind' Feng Tianqing, Huaiyang Guofeng Clan, practicing "Tiangang Shenfengjing"...]

[Tianjiao List No. 90 [-]: 'Thunderbolt' Cao Hanhai, Liangzhou Jincimen, practicing "The Iron Hand"...]

On the contrary, the previously mentioned "Flash of Lightning" and "Flash of Light" and "Moon in the Mirror of Water" probably got stuck at the threshold of sympathy between heaven and man for too long, and they were all squeezed out of the list.

Of the hundred Tianjiao, Liangzhou only accounted for nine of them, and six of them were in Xijing, the provincial capital.

In the entire west of Liangzhou, only Huaiye City, the most prosperous city in the northeast, has one person on the list.

As for the collection of bad names, which is more similar to the wanted list of warriors, there is no treatment of hanging on a pole, but it is written on paper and posted at the gate of the Martial Arts Academy all the year round.

After Hong Fan read more than 200 names, he didn't feel anything special. He just felt like he had read the latest issue of the rich list in his previous life, and got some distant and meaningless knowledge.

"Only a hundred people were collected from all over the world, but the information was collected in such detail, the Martial Arts Academy is really good."

He said, and asked the person next to him.

"Could it be that the person who intends to be on the list discloses the application to the local Martial Arts Institute?"

"I look at the records of the people on the list. It's not common to play against each other. How do you judge who is high or low?"

When he asked, Hong Sheng and Li Shenji, who were still in a daze, both came to their senses.

"If it's all revealed by me, how can it show the court's methods?"

Hong Sheng replied with a smile.

"On the one hand, whenever there are cities in Dahua, they will set up a martial arts academy. All the martial arts, killing methods, weapons, and even the intelligence of the character will be collected."

"On the other hand, since the imperial court established the martial arts list, who in my generation would not want to be famous all over the world? Except for those who have burdens and hide their names, the rest of them are afraid that the Martial Academy will not know their own progress."

As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously turned to Huang Bang.

"What brother Sheng said is right."

Li Shenji agreed and continued to answer Hong Fan's second question.

"As for relying on these information to evaluate the ranks of the world's warriors, it is a star king from the Martial Arts Academy."

"Its named star is 'Jie Tianji'."

"It is said that this Xingjun has infinite brain power, has a photographic memory, and can simulate the combat power of warriors out of thin air; as long as the information is detailed enough, the results rarely make mistakes."

[This 'Unraveling the Heaven's Secret' sounds similar to a human-flesh supercomputer, and the third list is the result of a brain battle with crickets...]

Hong Fan nodded in thanks, thinking in his heart.

"But the results on the list don't have to be trusted."

Li Shenji continued.

"For example, the Martial Saints on the Heavenly Ranking List have never fought directly, but they have always been ranked first with a close relationship with the imperial court."

"Actually, according to folklore, most people think that Zhenshan King may not be the opponent of the next few..."

While the few people by the window were talking, their discussions were suddenly overwhelmed by the environment.

It was the reporter with outstanding eyesight who had just finished reading the deeds of the new No. [-] in the Tianjiao list.

"Liuyun was actually defeated."

"Tianjiao number one, deserves to be called the first!"

"Once you hear it, you know ten, it's like throwing King Kong back into the world..."

The voice became louder than ever before, and even forced the reporter to temporarily shut up.

For a moment, the sky above the street was filled with buzzing noises, and these buzzing noises were discerned down to the details, as if they were calling the name of the new leader of the Tianjiao list.

Soon, the people by the window could no longer distinguish the shape of the sound—they only felt that there was a strong wind from the sky, blowing above the city streets.

"Old and new..."

Hong Fan couldn't help repeating, and suddenly had an illusion.

A young man in white with a gun on his back is walking in the south of the sky, but his name and achievements resound in every city thousands of miles away.

[The so-called Pengju once, heard the world, this is it! 】

Thinking about it, Hong Fan couldn't help pinching the corner of his clothes to absorb the new sweat from his hands.

It is said that he is not the only one in Haige.

The windows were clearly open, and the temperature was low.

But the cold north wind seemed to be driven away by the howling outside the window, and everyone felt a special sense of dryness wandering in their hearts.

It's nothing more than eight words - life is just like this!

The voice of discussion gradually became hollow and indistinct.

After a short break, the announcer put down his hands on his hips, and read the rest in one go.

Then, the sound was completely messed up.

Everyone first heard a child riding on an adult's neck shouting "I will become a martial artist in the future" on the street, and then the sound of chanting came from the third floor below.

If you listen carefully, you can vaguely tell that it is a doggerel written by a temporary mouth, with words such as "fish leaping over the dragon's gate" and "the sky will not fail me".

Even with Hong Fan's half-baked level, he could still hear that the writing was scribbled and full of affectation.

But at this time, none of the people in Penglai Pavilion laughed, but they couldn't suppress the agitation in their hearts.
