Chapter 334: Chapter 148: Supreme Physique, Unrivaled Mental State

Po Jun had completed various affairs and reported them all to Li Guanyi.

After tomorrow’s top four competition, the Seventh Prince would invite people to a feast, and the Emperor would also hold a ritual ceremony with his ministers before it. It’s said that emissaries from the Great Emperor of Central State had already departed, and would arrive here soon.

"Moreover, it will rain tomorrow night."

"The rain will wash away most of the traces."

Li Guanyi asked, "How do you know?"

Po Jun smiled slightly and replied, "Geography, climate, water resources, and local products — isn’t this the basis for a strategist? My martial arts are mediocre; I always have to excel in other areas."

Li Guanyi said, "Sir, you are highly talented."

Po Jun curled his lips, then pressed his fist to his lips and said quietly, "Just trivial matters, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

The second fight had Ye Buyi against Yuwen Hua.

Yuwen Hua was a full five years older than Ye Buyi.

Both were descendants of famous generals. Those five years marked the journey from adolescence to youth. Ye Buyi fought steadily and, although he did not win, he fully displayed his strength and demeanor without appearing weaker in momentum.

Yuwen Hua said, "Son of the Commander of Night Rider Cavalry, you indeed have some skills."

"One day on the battlefield, I will wait for you to lead the Night Rider Cavalry in a charge."

Ye Buyi responded indifferently, "You will see."

In the first two fights of the quarterfinals to semifinals, whether the fighters lost or won, they showed great spirit. Yu Jinbing Ge crossed his arms and leaned against a tree. Although he was far away, he could still perceive the subtle expressions on the Emperor’s face.

It was to make his son famous.

But human hearts are unpredictable.

Yu Jinbing Ge Quzai Shi muttered to himself, "Wolves also have their own might. Such fierceness can showcase one’s talents and gifts in the Martial World and on the battlefield, and maneuver well in intrigues, but you must let a wolf full of fierce energy ascend to the top."

"To contend with tigers and leopards in the eyes of the world."

"Have you never considered that among the younger generation, there are also many outstanding heroes?"

"Even if their martial skills are not as cultivated as his."

"But such spirit and the aura of a general are far rarer than martial skills."

Qu Zaisi was disdainful.

The next day, the area around the stage was crowded with more people from the Martial World, as they came for Xu Huixiang, the grandson of the Sword Saint. After all, it was a grand event that occurred once every ten years in Chen Country, and the Emperor had said it was a public celebration. Naturally, many people came to watch.

"Is that the Little Sword Saint, ranked thirty-fourth on the Famous Hero List?"

"Indeed, he is elegantly handsome and refined."

"I hear he possesses the Absolute Skills that include the essence of three Sword Daos. Although he has not truly made a move in recent years, his reputation still echoes through the Martial World, saying he is the likeliest heir to the title of ’Sword Saint’ in his lineage."

"Yes, in this generation of the Sword Saint’s lineage, he is the leader both in talent and character."

Suddenly, a person from the Martial World sighed, "What a pity, what a pity."

"A pity on what?"

"It’s a pity that Sword Madman Murong Longtu dominates everywhere, yet this year he is confined to one city. The two countries are using Jiangnan Eighteen States as pawns for their strife, and many members of the Murong Family have made great sacrifices and cannot travel to enhance their experiences."

"I fear no one from the younger generation will be able to uphold the title ’[Kuang]’."

The people from the Martial World fell silent, but it was bold of them to say such words here.

One man rubbed his glabella, holding a carving knife in one hand and a bamboo scroll in the other, and said, "If the Little Sword Saint can come out on top in the grand ceremony of Chen Country this time, his ranking could resonate even louder, reaching the top thirty."

The Famous Hero List was for young prospects in the Martial World who were under middle age.

The top thirty were basically filled with youngsters like Xu Huixiang, full of talent in their youth.

Now, seasoned by time, all were around twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

Their cultivation realms were in no way comparable to those who were ten years younger than Xu Huixiang.

Curious, someone asked, "I wonder how well that young member of the Imperial Guard will perform against him?"

The man holding the carving knife answered, "Impossible."

"That member of the Imperial Guard, at best, has some brute strength, but his cultivation realm only reaches the second layer. Although this is quite impressive for his age, compared to Xu Huixiang, who is at the third layer, the gap is huge."

"It would be decent if he could last thirty rounds."

"If he can hold out for fifty rounds, he has the capability to be listed at the end of the Famous Hero List. However, it’s all influenced by the Divine General List. Being on the Famous Hero List also depends on one’s deeds, to allow the heroes of the Martial World to refer to it. Having the strength but not accomplishing notable deeds won’t qualify one for inclusion on the list."

This man was one of the Guest Elders of The World’s First Building, tasked with collecting the strange tales and legends of the Martial World.

A curious person said, "Hahaha, you are right, but aren’t you going to rank the Beauty List? I heard about a young girl, beautiful and romantically naive, surely eligible for the list."

The man frowned and replied, "I know."

"You are talking about that young lady from the Xue Family."

"Like peonies and roses, young and beautiful, but unfortunately, she will never make the list."

The Guest Elder of The World’s First Building grinned, "The highest Grandmaster List represents those past middle age who dominate the Martial World, and the Famous Hero List for the youthful vigor before that age. These lists seek fame and rank by martial skills, that’s all right."

"But you must know, there are only two types of people on the Beauty List."

"One, top beauties in the world who lack powerful backing and thus can’t avoid being listed."

"Second, top beauties with powerful backing who want to use this list to gain fame in the Martial World."
