Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 766 - 830 The 10th on the Dragon List

Chapter 766: Chapter 830: The 10th on the Dragon List Chapter 766: Chapter 830: The 10th on the Dragon List Chapter Eight Hundred and Thirty

Leng Feng’s words exuded the immense confidence of an unrivaled swordsman.

He didn’t say it outright.

But his junior brothers and sisters all understood that their eldest senior brother refused to acknowledge Long Xiaoshan’s strength at the Grandmaster Level and was not convinced that Long Xiaoshan possessed the talent of a grandmaster.

“What the eldest senior brother said is completely right!”

“Eldest senior brother, your Frost Sword Intent must have reached great mastery by now.

I think that Long Xiaoshan just exploited a loophole.

If he really faced you, it would just be a matter of a single sword strike to slay him.”

A group of Wuliang Sword Sect disciples flattered endlessly.

Although Leng Feng’s face remained as cold as ever, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help revealing a trace of pride.

...

Hou Ming was constantly refreshing the forum.

Suddenly, he shouted, “The Hidden Dragon List is out!”

In the “Jianghu Gossip” section, a light gold-colored post hung prominently above the rest, starkly different in color from the other posts, supremely eye-catching with just three words as its title—Hidden Dragon List!

The Dragon Group released their rankings list on the fifteenth of every month.

In addition to the most important Dragon List, there was also the Hidden Dragon List.

It was intended for individuals under the age of forty with the most promise to advance to the Grandmaster Level, acting as the battlefield upon which all the young prodigies of China’s Hidden Sects vied for glory.

Most of the time, the Hidden Dragon List attracted even more attention than the Dragon List.

After all, those who made the Dragon List were mostly old monsters at the Grandmaster Level who rarely took action, so the list might not see any significant changes for years, with the same group of people perennially occupying it.

The competition for the Hidden Dragon List, however, was much fiercer.

After all, it was a list prepared for the younger generation.

Changes to this list often occurred every month.

Plus, those who enjoyed lurking in forums were also mostly young people.

Light-years away from the Grandmaster Realm themselves, they naturally paid more attention to this Hidden Dragon List, which was closer to their own level.

Every young prodigy who made it onto the Hidden Dragon List was akin to a celebrity within the Hidden Sects, boasting a massive following of fans.

“Hurry, hurry, open it quickly!” the others urged.

Though Leng Feng didn’t speak, his eyes involuntarily fell upon the screen as Hou Ming clicked on the Hidden Dragon List.

The Hidden Dragon List contained seventy-two individuals.

While that might sound like a lot, relative to the entirety of China’s Hidden Sects, it was not many.

Those who ranked on the Hidden Dragon List were basically geniuses who had reached the Xuan-level Late Stage by the age of forty.

As for those at the very top of the list, they were even more monstrously talented individuals.

The list started from the seventy-second place and continued downwards, intentionally creating suspense, giving the feeling that the further down you looked, the more impressive the highlights became.

Hou Ming and the others kept scrolling down until they reached:

“Ninth place, Wuliang Sword Sect, Leng Feng, a born Sword Dao prodigy.

He comprehended the Frost Sword Intent and stepped into the Xuan Level at the age of twenty.

Now thirty-one years old, his Frost Sword Intent has reached great mastery.

He triumphed over Tie Xinya of the Baji Sect last month, a genius of the Southwest Prodigy!”

Wow!

All the disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect burst into exclamations.

“Eldest senior brother, you’re incredible; you truly broke into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List!”

“Among the many sects in the Southwest, it seems this is the first time in ten years that someone from our region has broken into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List.”

“Eldest senior brother, you’re amazing!”

The Southwest had always been a weaker region among China’s Hidden Sects compared to areas such as Zhongzhou and the coastal regions; their strength was lacking substantially.

To break into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List was a rare feat, making one the rightful prodigy of the Southwest.

Amidst the crowd’s cheering, Leng Feng stood proudly, smiling faintly, “It’s just ninth place, not worth mentioning.

My goal is the top three of the Hidden Dragon List.

Within three years, I will surely achieve it.”

“Eldest senior brother is powerful!”

“Eldest senior brother will definitely do it!”

The disciples continued their adulation when a timid voice suddenly asked, “How come I don’t see Long Xiaoshan’s name?”

Leng Feng’s expression darkened.

Everyone immediately turned towards the source of the voice.

It was a young girl around fifteen or sixteen years old, frightened white by the converge of gazes from her many senior brothers and sisters, hastily waved her hands, “I was just…

just saying.”

The crowd’s expression turned bizarre.

Just now, everyone had seen that Long Xiaoshan’s name was not on the list.

Although many were deliberately belittling Long Xiaoshan to curry favor with Leng Feng, they were also aware that there’s no fame without a reason; since Long Xiaoshan had emerged like a comet, defeating Qiu Zhen and Tang Honghu, even if he had an advantage, his strength should be sufficient to rank on the Hidden Dragon List, right?

Could it be that his ranking was even higher than the eldest senior brother’s?

And that’s why his name had not appeared yet?

Hou Ming continued to scroll down the list.

They scrolled to the top rank, yet Long Xiaoshan’s name was nowhere to be seen.

“No way, could it be that his strength isn’t even enough to make it onto the Hidden Dragon List?” many disciples were utterly astonished.

“Dragon Group is always timely in collecting information.

With such a big incident as Long Xiaoshan killing Tang Honghu, they would definitely investigate.

Yet they didn’t rank him!

How strange.”

“What’s so strange about it?

They couldn’t possibly rank him on the Dragon List.

I think he’s truly made a joke of himself this time, claiming to be a young grandmaster, but in the end, not even making it onto the Hidden Dragon List.

What’s real cannot be faked, what’s fake cannot become real.

Now he’s exposed, bringing shame to us martial artists from the Southwest Hidden Gates.” A disciple from the Wuliang Sword Sect scoffed.

Hou Ming closed the post and exited to refresh the forum, which, as expected, had exploded.

Instantly, over a hundred posts mocking Long Xiaoshan for pretending to be more powerful than he is appeared, saying that Oscar owes him a little gold man for his fine performance.

All that talk about being a young grandmaster, yet he can’t even climb onto the Hidden Dragon List, was simply laughable to the point of losing one’s teeth.

The martial artists from Xichuan who supported Long Xiaoshan in the forum suddenly fell silent, their sparse sounds of support were washed away by the tide of public opinion as if they were thrown onto the beach.

“The Dragon List is out!”

Hou Ming had been refreshing the page non-stop, as everyone knew that the Dragon List would appear a few minutes after the release of the Hidden Dragon List.

So, he continued to refresh.

At that moment, right above the Hidden Dragon List post, a shining golden post appeared, even more eye-catching than the Hidden Dragon List, hanging high at the very top of the forum—The Dragon List!

Although the Dragon List spurred fewer discussions than the Hidden Dragon List, it truly represented the strongest combat power of China’s Hidden Sects.

Those who entered the Dragon List were all at least at the grandmaster level from China’s Hidden Sects, including the Great Witch Masters from the Witch Gate and the Grand Spirit Masters from the Xuan Gate.

Hou Ming immediately clicked on the post.

The Dragon List showed there were forty-seven people.

This indicated that there were a total of forty-seven individuals above the grandmaster level recorded by Dragon Group in all of China, and these were also the most powerful forty-seven people in China.

Each name was highlighted and emboldened.

Hou Ming scrolled down.

The forty-seventh on the Dragon List, from Dian Cang School, Cang Mutong, Earth Grade Initial Phase, seventy-two years old, sect leader of Dian Cang School, adept with dual swords, renowned throughout the Southwest for his Pursuing Wind Sword, once defeated thirteen Xuan-level late-stage experts with his signature move “Returning Wind Dancing Willow”.

…

The forty-first on the Dragon List, from the Western Regions, Snow Mountain Sect, Snow Mountain Old Man, Earth Grade Initial Phase, eighty-one years old, mastered Ice Profound Energy to perfection, once froze a waterfall with a single palm, stopping its flow…

“Tang Honghu is indeed dead; he used to be ranked at forty-one, and now he’s gone.”

There were only so many people on the Dragon List.

Each one of them was a renowned and formidable individual, and the rankings were quite hard to change, especially for those who were listed later.

Most of them had been well-known for decades, were older, past their prime, and it was hard for their strength to make any more breakthroughs.

Tang Honghu had been at forty-one for a long time, and now, suddenly gone, there was only one possibility: he truly died a horrible death, so the Dragon Group had removed him from the Dragon List.

“A grandmaster of an era, who had intimidated Xichuan for decades, to think that he has now become a stepping stone for a mere thief,” Leng Feng laughed coldly.

Long Xiaoshan couldn’t even make it onto the Hidden Dragon List, yet he killed a grandmaster.

This only showed how terrible Tang Honghu’s condition must have been.

The rumors outside that Tang Honghu had fallen victim to a trap from the Witch Gate and suffered severe poisoning seemed not without basis.

“Big Brother, why don’t you just challenge this Long Xiaoshan, expose his false facade, and show the world his deceitful nature.

It will also clear the name of the Southwest Hidden Gates.

We can’t let one bad apple spoil the whole barrel,” a disciple suggested ingratiatingly.

Leng Feng flicked his finger and laughed, pride glowing in his eyes, and said indifferently, “Fine, I’ll set out for Xichuan tomorrow, lest people really start to believe that we in the Southwest are all such hypocrites.”

Hou Ming kept scrolling down.

As he moved up in ranking, by the top twenty, mid-phase Earth-level grandmasters began to appear.

Now, even more people disbelieved Long Xiaoshan’s grandmaster strength; even if he was strong, he couldn’t possibly be ranked in the top twenty, could he?

Suddenly, there was a cry of alarm.

Hou Ming’s iPad slipped from his grasp, falling to the ground, his face a mask of panic.

“What happened?

Hou Ming, did you get hit with a fit?” people swore at him.

Pointing to the iPad on the ground, Hou Ming stammered, “Look, look at this.”

“Look at what?” People were growing impatient with Hou Ming’s erratic behavior, as he couldn’t even speak clearly.

“The, the, the list!” Hou Ming managed to push out three words from his throat.

“What list…” A disciple from the Wuliang Sword Sect picked up the iPad, glanced at it, and suddenly, he looked as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes wide and fixed.

The crowd sensed something wrong and all turned their eyes to the screen.

There in bold, golden letters was the list.

The tenth on the Dragon List, Long Xiaoshan, twenty years old, a loose cultivator from Xichuan Province, who a month ago on Du Long Mountain defeated the Iron Palm Gang Leader Qiu Zhen, who had just entered the Grandmaster Realm.

Three days ago, on Tiandu Mountain, he fought and killed Tang Honghu.

His cultivation profound and unfathomable, practicing the Three Teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and Martial Arts, suspected to be a Transverse Refinement Grandmaster, Earth Grade Initial Phase, Sixth-Level Spiritual Master.

His strength is on par with the peak of Earth Grade Mid-Phase.

For a moment, the entire place fell into dead silence, everyone as voiceless as if they had been struck dumb.

And Leng Feng’s face was even more livid with disbelief!!
