Chapter 801: Chapter 811: Black List!

The battle between Adam and Tang Zhong had already spread across the entire world. It must be understood that Adam was a figure on the Black List.

This worldwide danger ranking list truly existed, and it was absolutely authentic. Every single person on this list was an out-and-out dangerous individual.

To be included on the Black List was to be someone feared by all. Now, the name Tang Zhong had become a heated topic, because he had defeated Adam.

Previously, there were even bounty orders for Tang Zhong issued by the Dark Organization, offering twenty billion in Yun Country Currency, but no one took the job. However, after defeating Adam, this price skyrocketed to a staggering nine hundred billion Yun Country Currency. The money was tempting, but there wasn’t a single person brave enough to take the task. After all, the target was someone who had slain Adam. People on the black market were well aware of their own limitations. Very soon, all the bounties on Tang Zhong across the black market were taken down. Those who had previously offended Tang Zhong and wanted to seek revenge through the black market now disappeared entirely. All their grievances, all their hatred—they swallowed it all down into their guts.

Seeking revenge against someone like him—wasn’t that just courting death?

What caught everyone’s attention even more was the Black List itself. With Adam dead, the fifth spot on the list was undoubtedly vacant. Tang Zhong would certainly secure a position, but that wasn’t the key point—the most crucial thing was that the time for the Black List’s re-ranking was fast approaching!

No one knew where the Black List originated, nor who was responsible for creating it.

All that was known about the Black List revolved around a single forum. Every year, when it was time to re-rank the Black List, an ID named "Sage" would post the updated rankings there.

No one knew who the Sage was, nor whether it was one person or a collective. The only certainty was that once the Sage appeared, it signaled the re-ranking.

The ranking criterion was simple. The person—or people—known as Sage evaluated the actions and martial prowess of Black List members over the past year, then issued rankings accordingly.

The rankings were remarkably accurate.

Everyone had the utmost faith in them.

Now that Adam was dead, more and more people were glued to the forum.

They were all waiting for the Black List rankings, because as was customary, any time a Black List member perished, the rankings would be updated.

The Sage worked quickly, and the results would likely come out soon.

"Why hasn’t the Sage posted yet?"

"Yeah, what’s taking so long?"

"I remember the last time someone on the Black List died, the Sage released the updated rankings the very next day. And now, this is the fifth-ranked person we’re talking about. The Sage should be even faster this time!"

"Enough with the chatter! The Sage always posts the rankings at 8 PM. What time is it now? Why are you all so anxious?"

In truth, the rankings on the Black List might appear fixed, but they weren’t truly static. On one hand, the same few individuals usually dominated the list; on the other hand, the shifts in ranks were incredibly drastic.

Now, most people just wanted to know where Tang Zhong would rank on the Black List—would he really take Adam’s place?

Finally, at 8 PM, a red post on the forum stunned everyone.

On this forum, only posts made by the Sage were marked in red.

That meant the Sage had acted—the rankings were here.

Almost everyone clicked on the post immediately.

"The Black List rankings!"

It really was!

Anyone who saw it felt their hearts race. After all, this was the global danger ranking. Each person on this list was world-renowned.

The forum quickly quieted down.

At this moment, within the Dragon Group, Vermilion Bird opened the Black List forum with familiar ease. She was someone who kept a close eye on the rankings.

Besides, with Tang Zhong having killed Adam, she was especially curious to see what ranking the Sage would assign him.

She opened her laptop, fixed her gaze on the webpage, and turned her right hand on the mouse, beginning to scroll upward.

The rankings began to appear.

"Blade Dominator, Tedal!"

"Breaker, Fire Fury!"

They were all familiar names.

Vermilion Bird wasn’t here for them.

These names belonged to individuals ranked in the top fifty. The closer they were to the front, the higher their ranking.

Vermilion Bird felt nervous. She didn’t want to miss a single detail, staring carefully at the screen.

She scanned from the fiftieth place up to the thirtieth place but still didn’t see Tang Zhong.

"Could this guy actually rank within the top thirty?" Vermilion Bird murmured.

By convention, she thought it unlikely the Sage would rank Tang Zhong too high on his first Black List appearance. After all, the danger rankings required an element of intimidation.

Although Vermilion Bird knew Tang Zhong was incredibly strong—she had personally seen him use a mysterious staff to obliterate the Bei Country Peninsula with a single strike, a feat that defied her understanding—not many others knew of this. Certainly, the Sage couldn’t know either.

Yet as the ranks from thirty onward appeared one by one, Tang Zhong’s name still didn’t show.

"Is it possible Tang Zhong didn’t make this Black List at all?" Vermilion Bird frowned.

That didn’t seem plausible. With Tang Zhong’s abilities, he was more than qualified to make the list!

Could he be even higher up?

Vermilion Bird continued scrolling. She refused to believe she wouldn’t find his name.

From the thirtieth to the twentieth place.

Still no Tang Zhong.

And from the twentieth down to the tenth place—still no sign of him.

Looking at the remaining top ten names, Vermilion Bird took a deep breath. Could Tang Zhong really have made it into the top ten?

It couldn’t be!

She kept scrolling.

The Black List’s top ten rankings always came with evaluation notes for each individual.

At the tenth place was "Star Sovereign Oz," a man who had entered the Black List in his fifties. His evaluation read: "Transcendent breakthrough, a shining debut, master of the starscape, explorer of the Eternal Immortal Dome!"

Then came ninth place, eighth place, and seventh place.

Finally, the sixth place appeared.

"Azure Dragon!"

"Xuan Country’s Azure Dragon, a rising star, unparalleled in the world!"

The sixth place was still Azure Dragon, and Vermilion Bird’s heartbeat quickened. Since Adam was now dead, if Tang Zhong wasn’t ranked higher than Azure Dragon, then the latter should have naturally risen to the fifth spot—but he hadn’t.

Thump, thump, thump—Vermilion Bird’s heart raced faster!

She kept scrolling upward. And then, she saw a familiar name.

"Xuan Country’s Yan Chihuo, master of flames across the land, burning with passion from the heart!"

Vermilion Bird grew even more tense. Yan Chihuo had previously been ranked fourth, but he was now fifth.

Could Tang Zhong really be ahead of him?

Only by looking further would she find out. Could Tang Zhong be fourth?

She continued scrolling.

But the fourth name wasn’t Tang Zhong; it was the Sun God Apollo!

Apollo, the mythological powerhouse from Ancient Egypt, was rumored to be the guardian of the pyramids.

Incredible strength.

Even fourth didn’t belong to Tang Zhong. Could he be third?

By now, nearly everyone following the rankings felt their tension rise.

Every time it was the same, because this was the Black List. Facing these individuals on the list demanded awe—they were the pinnacle of strength.

Scrolling upward, the third name appeared.

"Ultimate Swordsman Wuji!"

"The master swordsman, one slash to claim the lives of all under heaven!"

Wuji had previously ranked second.

Now that he had appeared, where was Tang Zhong?

Vermilion Bird couldn’t process what she was seeing. Where on earth was Tang Zhong?

She kept scrolling and came to the second name.

"Thunder God Ogur, wielder of the Thunder Hammer, summoning lightning to strike down the world!"

It still wasn’t Tang Zhong. At this moment, Vermilion Bird’s heart pounded wildly. Tang Zhong was still nowhere to be found on the top fifty names of the Black List. Could it be that Tang Zhong...

Vermilion Bird couldn’t believe it. She wanted to look but was almost too afraid to—but she continued scrolling up. And at that moment, a familiar name appeared. In that instant, her pupils widened in shock.

"Oh my god!"

On the webpage, a dazzling remark stood out.

"Black List First Place, Xuan Country’s Tang Zhong, a rising star, wielding extraordinary powers, shattering the world, mastering reincarnation, unparalleled under heaven!"
