After defeating Zhou Meng, his ranking on the Hallowed Rankings changed once more. However, Xiao Chen didn't pay much attention to all of this. There wasn't much of a difference between the 75th and 79th place.
It was even to the extent that Xiao Chen was slightly depressed after his battle with Zhou Meng. Even though Zhou Meng was strong, it wasn't enough to test his full strength.
After his cultivation had advanced to the Half-Saint Realm, the gap between Xiao Chen and Zhou Meng's combat strength had actually widened. As such, it was naturally impossible for Zhou Meng to be a match for Xiao Chen.
In Xiao Chen's opinion, Zhou Meng's current strength was slightly weak.
After putting away the Dustless Sword, Xiao Chen looked at Zhou Meng and said with a smile, "Brother Zhou, you admit it."
The outcome of the battle had been decided, and it didn't exceed Xiao Chen's expectations. At the same time, after his battle with Zhou Meng, Xiao Chen felt that the Saints ranked in the 60th and 70th places on the Hallowed Rankings were probably no longer a match for him.
After all, as Xiao Chen had said, the Saints ranked in the 60th and 70th places on the Hallowed Rankings were all at the perfection of the Dao Emperor Realm. The gap between them was only in terms of combat strength, and it wasn't huge. After Xiao Chen had broken through to the Half-Saint Realm, they were no longer a match for him.
In this way, Xiao Chen naturally didn't have to challenge them one by one. Instead, he could directly skip the 60th and 70th places and challenge the Saints ranked in the 60th and above. In this way, Xiao Chen was even closer to becoming one of the 36 Heavenly Dipper Saints.
They didn't become enemies because of this battle. After all, it was a fair battle. Moreover, Zhou Meng wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat. Since he was weaker than Zhou Meng, a loss was a loss. There was nothing much to say about it.
After returning to Yellow Sand City, Zhou Meng took the initiative to invite Xiao Chen for a drink. After that, the two of them went to the restaurant from yesterday.
In the private room, Xiao Chen and Zhou Meng drank to their heart's content. After this battle, the relationship between the two of them had become even closer, and they were much more relaxed as they spoke.
During the banquet, Xiao Chen asked Zhou Meng about the other barbarian Saints on the Saint Ranking.
The Barbarian Tribe had a total of ten Chosen on the Saint Ranking. After Zhou Meng's introduction, Xiao Chen discovered that these ten Chosen on the Saint Ranking of the Barbarian Tribe were either ranked too low to be Xiao Chen's match, or ranked too high for Xiao Chen.
In the end, once he understood the situation of the ten Berserkers on the Saint Ranking, Xiao Chen discovered that there was only one person who was most suitable for him, and that was Wang Lushan.
Wang Lushan was ranked 52nd on the Saint Rankings, which was just right. It was within Xiao Chen's consideration. Xiao Chen wouldn't challenge someone who was too strong, because that would be asking for trouble. The 52nd rank was just right.
After confirming Wang Lushan's identity, Xiao Chen asked Zhou Meng about Wang Lushan.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhou Meng asked with some doubt, "Brother Xiao, are you still planning to challenge Wang Lushan?"
Seeing that Xiao Chen was so concerned about Wang Lushan, Zhou Meng naturally guessed something. Xiao Chen didn't deny it and nodded. "Yes, I'm out to gain experience this time, so I naturally have to spar with the other Chosen on the Saint Ranking."
It was true that he wanted to challenge Wang Lushan. Otherwise, why would Xiao Chen look for him? They didn't know each other.
Seeing that Xiao Chen admitted that he wanted to challenge Wang Lushan, Zhou Meng nodded and said slowly, "I don't have much of a friendship with him.
However, we're both Barbarian Race's Holy Princes on the Saint Ranking, so we've seen each other before. Wang Lushan is a Holy Prince of the Power King Pavilion, and it's said that he broke through to the half-True Saint Realm a few days ago. Brother Xiao Chen, you have to be careful if you want to challenge him. "
Zhou Meng was a disciple of the Barbarian God Sect, while Wang Lushan was a disciple of the Power King Pavilion. The two of them weren't from the same sect, so they weren't familiar with each other. Therefore, Zhou Meng didn't know much about Wang Lushan.
Xiao Chen briefly explained Wang Lushan's situation to Xiao Chen. Even though he didn't go into detail, hearing that Wang Lushan had just broken through to the half-True Saint Realm a few days ago, Xiao Chen was overjoyed. This was really like having a pillow delivered to him when he wanted to sleep.
It was pointless for Xiao Chen to rely on his cultivation to suppress a Chosen who was at the perfection-stage of the Dao Emperor Realm. On the other hand, Wang Lushan had just entered the Half-Saint Realm just like him, so Wang Lushan was an extremely good opponent.
Since both of them had just entered the half-True Saint Realm, Wang Lushan should be a suitable opponent.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen looked at Zhou Meng and asked, "Brother Zhou Meng, can you find out Wang Lushan's current location?"
Xiao Chen wasn't familiar with the Barbarian Race, so he naturally didn't know where Wang Lushan was. Therefore, he probed Zhou Meng. When Zhou Meng heard Xiao Chen's question, he readily agreed.
"It's a small matter. Wang Lushan's whereabouts aren't hard to find. I'll ask the Barbarian God Sect to keep an eye out for him. I believe they'll find him soon."
Xiao Chen wanted to challenge Wang Lushan. This was a very normal competition between Holy Princes on the Holy Rankings. Therefore, Zhou Meng agreed without any hesitation. However, helping Xiao Chen find Wang Lushan's whereabouts wasn't a big deal.
Of course, if Xiao Chen wanted to harm Wang Lushan, Zhou Meng wouldn't help him. After all, he and Wang Lushan were both Holy Princes on the Barbarian Race's Holy Rankings. It was impossible for him to watch an outsider kill Wang Lushan.
Zhou Meng agreed without hesitation. Seeing this, Xiao Chen cupped his fists and thanked Zhou Meng.
After a round of drinking, their relationship grew closer. In the next few days, Xiao Chen stayed in Yellow Sand City, waiting for news from Zhou Meng's side.
With the Barbarian God Sect's strength, their efficiency was much faster than the Four Directions Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, Zhou Meng came looking for Xiao Chen a day later, saying that he had news of Wang Lushan.
"Brother Xiao, there's news." Zhou Meng said in a clear voice as he strode into the courtyard.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's face stiffened, but he quickly asked, "Oh, Brother Zhou, please tell me."
"Wang Lushan is currently in the Power King Pavilion. If Brother Xiao wants to challenge him, you can go there directly." Zhou Meng said.
Wang Lushan was in the Power King Pavilion, and if Xiao Chen wanted to challenge him, he had to go there. Hearing this, Xiao Chen was stunned.
The Power King Pavilion was one of the Barbarian Race's Great Saint Sects, and they were very powerful. Going there to challenge Wang Lushan wasn't a problem, but that was their territory. As an outsider, what if one of the Power King Pavilion's experts went crazy and decided to take him down with them? What would he do then? This situation wasn't impossible.
This wasn't human territory, so Xiao Chen needed to be careful. As if seeing through Xiao Chen's worries, Zhou Meng spoke up.
"Brother Xiao, you worry too much. Our Barbarian Race only recognizes strength. You challenging Wang Lushan is a fair battle, the Power King Pavilion's experts won't interfere, Brother Xiao can rest assured."
