Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Ascending the Master’s List_1

Su Chengyu pulled over and parked the car by the side of the road, then walked along the small path to the stream at the foot of the Bull Mountain. He found a stone where he sat cross-legged, starting his Tai Shang Xuan Qing cultivation technique to absorb nature’s spiritual energy.

Su Chengyu cultivated until past five in the morning, only then waking up from his focused state.

"My cultivation is becoming more robust, but if I rely solely on absorbing nature’s spiritual energy for my breakthrough, I’m afraid it might take at least two or three months. Moreover, the spiritual energy around Bull Mountain is simply not sufficient for such prolonged cultivation," he thought.

There was too little spiritual energy, it was simply not enough to meet Su Chengyu’s cultivation needs.

He returned to his car, drove back to the city, and on his way, he stopped to buy some breakfast for Su Xiaoxiao.

"Big Brother, when did you come back last night?" Su Xiaoxiao asked while eating a bun.

"At midnight. You were sleeping, so I didn’t want to disturb you. By the way, tomorrow is your birthday. Have you decided which classmates to invite? I can arrange the meal in advance," Su Chengyu said.

"Well... but I have supplementary classes tomorrow."

"That’s fine, we can have dinner together," Su Chengyu smiled.

"Then today at school, I’ll let my classmates know. It is not many, probably six or seven of them," Su Xiaoxiao said.

After eating, Su Xiaoxiao went to school, and Su Chengyu made a trip to the Lin Family residence.

Everyone in the Lin family was grateful to Su Chengyu. As soon as he walked in the door, Lin Zhengxun said excitedly, "Congratulations Mr. Su."

"Congratulations for what?" Su Chengyu asked, puzzled.

"It seems Mr. Su doesn’t know yet? Congratulations for making it into the top ten masters of Linjiang City. Furthermore, you leapt directly into the top five, it’s a double joy."

"Oh? The Linjiang masterboard was updated?"

Su Chengyu was surprised that Dragon Soul had included his name in the top ten of the masterboard so quickly.

The masterboard was not updated in real time, it was generally updated once every six months.

If the rankings remained unchanged, it would only be updated once a year.

Dragon Soul updates to the masterboard would be announced on its official media channels as well as the Linjiang Daily.

"It was updated this morning, you can have a look."

Lin Zhengxun passed him the newspaper. The fifth position on the masterboard had been occupied by a man named Hou Congsheng, who was of Ninth Grade strength.

The martial arts Ninth Grade also distinguishes between the upper, middle, and lower levels. Lower Ninth Grade just means someone has broken into the ninth-grade level. After a period of consolidation, one’s strength advances once more to the middle ninth grade. And the upper ninth grade, also referred to as Half-step Grandmaster, is half a step away from becoming a Grandmaster.

Since Su Chengyu had defeated Hua Zhantang, who was also at the eighth grade, Dragon Soul rated his strength as the lower ninth grade.

But Hou Congsheng, who was also at the lower ninth grade, technically being an older master, should have been ranked higher than Su Chengyu.

The sixth on the masterboard was Li Yuancang, Hong Zhen Ting’s subordinate, who, like Hua Zhantang, was an eighth-grade master.

Su Chengyu defeating Hua Zhantang and having Dragon Soul rate his strength as the lower ninth grade, made sense. But he should have risen to the sixth place to replace Li Yuancang’s rank, not moving ahead of Hou Congsheng, who was of the same grade.

"It seems Dragon Soul purposely updated the rankings at this time and deliberately put my ranking ahead of Hou Congsheng. Smart move!"

Zeng Yifan had warned Su Chengyu, Dragon Soul’s Grand Marshal Stone Sword Edge, and Hua Zhantang’s master Cai Yi Gen were quite close, this was probably his way of deliberately setting up an opponent for Su Chengyu.

As a seasoned master, Hou Congsheng would obviously feel unjust about this ranking. He wouldn’t dare to cause trouble for Dragon Soul, so he would definitely want to challenge Su Chengyu to prove himself.

Looking at the rankings, Su Chengyu had already guessed Dragon Soul’s tactics.

Li Yuancang was ranked seventh, and Zhao Chong, who originally ranked ninth, had been removed from the masterboard because he died.

"Does the old man know what kind of person Hou Congsheng is?" Su Chengyu asked, putting down the newspaper.

"Hou Congsheng has quite a background. He hails from Hou Family in the provincial capital city of Jiangyang. The Hou family is a first-class household in Jiangdong Province. Moreover, because Hou Congsheng himself is a Martial Arts Master of the ninth grade, even Hong Zhen Ting has to give him face." Lin Zhengxun explained.

Su Chengyu’s brows furrowed, "How does the Lin Family compare to the Hou Family in strength?"

"Mr. Su you are too kind to us. The Lin Family is a top-class household in Linjiang City, but our overall strength can’t compare to the enormous Hou Family. The current head of the Hou Family is even a Martial Arts Master himself. The Family’s businesses span across various fields, and they have numerous high-level martial artists under them." Lin Zhengxun waved his hand.

Su Chengyu felt a chill in his heart. This Stone Sword Edge was truly a sly fox, setting up for him such a strong opponent.

Su Chengyu hoped he was overthinking it. Things might not necessarily turn out as he guessed, maybe it was all just a coincidence.

At the moment, his foundation was still weak. Even an opponent from the Cai Family could be an extreme challenge for him. If he got on bad terms with the Hou family, he would probably have to take to his heels.

"Huan Feng, where is your sister?" Su Chengyu asked.

"Probably in her room, I’ll call her," Lin Huanfeng offered.

"I’m mainly here today to ask about her recovery. Also, I am in need of some additional medicinal herbs. Could you perhaps have them collected for me?" Su Chengyu gently nodded.

Su Chengyu took out a list and gave it to Lin Zhiyuan.

"These herbs are not too hard to find, I will gather them as soon as I can," Lin Zhiyuan said after a brief glance.

"Thank you very much."

"Mr. Su is too polite. You have saved our Lin Family’s lives, this little thing is nothing," Lin Zhiyuan hurriedly said.

Within Lin Chuxue’s bedroom, she sat on the edge of her bed, her cheeks propped in her hands, zoning out.

Her hands had started to grow some nails and the scars on her neck were fading. Lin Chuxue was even more convinced of Su Chengyu’s medical skills.

Over the past few days, Lin Chuxue kept thinking about the interactions she had with Su Chengyu during this period. Sometimes she would smile, and sometimes she would curse at him.

In less than a month, Su Chengyu had caused her so many shocks. As she thought about it, it seemed like a dream.

"This odious man, after prescribing the medicine he doesn’t even care to visit to check on the patient!" Lin Chuxue complained in a soft voice.

At that moment, Lin Huanfeng knocked on the door, "Sister, may I come in?"

"Come in."

The look on Lin Chuxue’s face instantly became icy cold. Lin Huanfeng joked, "Sis, were you thinking about Brother Yu?"

"Who was thinking about him? Nonsense. He’s the last person I want to see," Lin Chuxue huffed.

"Is that so? Unfortunately, Brother Yu came specifically to see you. So, I’ll just go and tell him that you don’t want to see him," Lin Huanfeng sighed.

Hearing this, Lin Chuxue’s brows quirked up and a hint of joy appeared in the depth of her eyes.

"Wait a moment! What did you say? Su Chengyu came?"
