Chapter 616: Chapter 50: Sword Madman Draws His Sword, Mystical Weapon Ninety-Seven!_2

"I don’t lack appreciation,"

"Personally, I quite admire such people, but that admiration comes from watching these heroes burn passionately in the chaos of a troubled world, while I am safely on the sidelines. If you ask me to join them, I must respectfully decline."

"If I were to go under his command, you’d have to knock me out with a stick and tie me up!"

"Yet, Li Guanyi, of the Qilin Army, is known for his benevolence. I fear he’s not capable of doing such a thing."

"Hahahaha."

Wen He burst out laughing.

Wen Lingjun shook his head, looking at the game of Go that had resulted in a draw after two rounds, each winning and losing. He then got up and left the courtyard. As he walked out, he heard the students discussing the different powers, and saw a fierce light in their eyes from afar.

Wen Lingjun heard that Emperor Ying was the first choice among the students, followed by Emperor Chen.

However, the third person the students favored was not the Great Emperor of Central State, who had a grand lineage lasting eight hundred years under the Red Emperor’s World, but the Qilin from Jiangnan. Subsequently, Wen Lingjun fell silent for a long time, looking up at the world heaving a long sigh.

When did Li Guanyi start to belong to the ranks of ’Heroic Ruler’, ’Lord’?

He saw the list posted on the side of the entrance to the Military School at the Academy.

The Divine General List.

In the midst of the world’s turmoil, the Divine General List from The World’s First Building had been updated, personally delivered by the Guest Elder Tu Shengyuan, who then shamelessly decided to stay behind within the Academy.

It seemed he was waiting for the excitement to come.

Right now, he was staying with the Ming Sect, mooching meals day after day.

The Divine General List was a powerful attraction for the students at the Academy, especially those from the Military School. Even though the new list had been copied and taken away, there were hardly any people around at the moment.

Wen Lingjun walked up to it and stood in front of the new Divine General List, scanning it and taking note of the changes.

Rank: Navy/Fierce General

Name: Kou Yulie

Title: Angry Scale Dragon King

Forces: 10,000 elite navy troops, Mo School’s highest-class flagship [Eastern Azure Dragon], among other battle ships, forming a fleet.

Strength: Seven Heavens Grandmaster Realm, Dharma Form is the Beryl Flood Dragon

Rank: Seventy-eight!

Allegiance: Jiangnan · Qilin Army.

This was a fresh addition to the Divine General List, earning a not-so-low ranking due to his military achievements and his defeat of the former general Zhao Guoqi. Meanwhile, Ling Pingyang, who was barely hanging on at ninety-seventh, had improved to rank eighty-eight during this period.

Wen Lingjun then spotted a familiar name.

Rank: strategist.

Name: Yuan Zhi

Origin: Central State Academy · Confucian School

Achievements: [Wind Queen’s Unusual Strategies, Eight Gates Golden Lock]; commanding over ten thousand Qilin Army to form a Battle Formation, eventually crushing Chen Country, Ying Country, and six other general’s troops, excelling in rapid style combat.

Rank: Fifty-seven!

Allegiance: Jiangnan · Qilin Army

Wen Lingjun couldn’t help but fall silent for a long time. For the young people of the Central State Academy, their familiar friends and seniors had stepped into this world ahead of them and were now stirring the winds and clouds, securing positions on the Divine General List that were not to be underestimated.

Such a display of zeal from acquaintances was most motivating to the youth. Wen Lingjun could feel the atmosphere within the entire Academy starting to stir, as the young students from all walks of life, like eager beasts yearning for action, set their sights on that world.

And now, after some time, a highly-regarded Heroic Ruler was to come.

By then, these young people would probably choose their own Lords without needing others to say anything, going forward to serve of their own will, right? The changes in both the Academy and the world were due to one person—

Wen Lingjun’s gaze continued to climb upward.

He looked toward the middle section of the Divine General List and remained silent for a long time.

Name: Li Guanyi

Rank: [Noble]

General Ranking: Forty-seven

Subordinate Generals: Pang Shuiyun, Ling Pingyang, Kou Yulie, Yuan Zhi

Honorary Title: The Jiangnan Qilin, The World’s Qin Wu!

Wen Lingjun was silent for a long time. He always felt that the person who mooched food and drinks at the Ming Sect had given this young general a rather different title; it seemed less rough. Perhaps having the status of a Heroic Ruler truly made a difference.

In just one year, he had leaped from rank eighty-three to forty-seven, an unbelievable jump that, considering his achievements, still made sense. If he continued to wage war and fight, maybe Li Guanyi’s ranking on the Divine General List would keep climbing.

Hearing the students discuss the changing tides of the world in excited yet subdued voices, Wen Lingjun felt a sense of melancholy and sighed, "Uncle-Grandfather Ji Yanzhong, when will you return? Is there anyone in this era who can draw the Chi Xiao Sword?"

"Where, I wonder, does my place lie, Wen Lingjun..."

...

"Achoo!"

Li Guanyi sneezed and frowned, lifting his gaze. The letter to the young miss had already been sent, and the Jiangnan envoy group was ready, with only five hundred cavalry, led by the battle-hardened Ling Pingyang.

There weren’t many accompanying them. Aside from some envoys, there was Shaking Light, Mr. Siming.

And the Green Robed Sword Madman.

Even Aunt Murong Qiushui stayed with the Murong Family in Jiangnan to oversee the situation. Pang Shuiyun, Yuan Zhi, Yan Daiqing, and Kou Yulie also remained in Jiangnan, holding down the fort and training troops at the same time.

However, the route to Central State had several options, with the Sword Madman making the final decision.

They would first head to Ying Country, stopping by Yuan Zhi’s hometown en route, with Ling Pingyang personally leading the troops to bring Yuan Zhi’s mother and relatives back to Jiangnan. After that, he would rejoin the envoy group and proceed to Central State; meanwhile, Li Guanyi and the Sword Madman would briefly depart from the envoys to travel the Martial World.
