Originally, many people were disdainful of this so-called ranking. Many people didn't even acknowledge this ranking. However, very quickly, those young experts who weren't on the ranking began to be dissatisfied.
Why couldn't they be on the ranking? They were all famous young experts. Which one of them wasn't the pride of their respective forces? How could they allow themselves to be disregarded like this?
Some people's methods were even more valiant. They directly slapped Bai Xiaosheng's face. Their method was very simple. Those who weren't on the ranking would find those who were on the ranking and then defeat them. They would use the facts to prove that Bai Xiaosheng was just a piece of sh * t. How dare you judge us?
Although most of them didn't succeed, there were still some who succeeded in defeating the experts who were on the ranking and successfully replaced the original experts.
Hence, doubts towards the authority of the Hidden Dragon List came like a mountain rain. Among them, various forces were also adding fuel to the fire. Although they couldn't grab hold of Bai Xiaosheng's weakness, it was good to disgust him.
Facing such doubts, Bai Xiaosheng didn't care at all. On the contrary, to them, they had already successfully hyped up the Hidden Dragon Rank. No matter whether they wanted to admit it or not, a lot of people were proud to be able to get on the Hidden Dragon Rank.
After all, such a ranking was placed here. If they couldn't be on the Hidden Dragon List, wouldn't it mean that they were a failure?
Regardless of whether they admitted the so-called fairness and authority of this ranking, it would be a great shame for them if they couldn't be on the ranking.
However, very quickly, Bai Xiaosheng gave a reply.
The first phase of the Hidden Dragon List was just a trial product. In other words, it was reasonable to have some inaccuracies. Hence, Bai Xiaosheng would invite all the heroes and influential figures of the younger generation to a star in the distant universe, the Wind King Star. Over there, they would rearrange the rankings. Who could be on the ranking and who couldn't be on the ranking? What was the use of just talking about it? They had to rely on their own strength to speak.
As soon as this reply came out, it immediately caused another uproar. Especially those experts of the younger generation, they were even more eager to give it a try. That's right, what's the use of just saying that I'm strong? In this gathering, I have to defeat everyone to prove my strength. That's right.
Moreover, if he could stand out in this gathering, his name would instantly spread across the entire Ancient Barrens Continent.
Therefore, many experts who were originally disdainful of the list and didn't even want to pay attention to it were suddenly moved. They could be indifferent to the list, but if they could prove their tyrannical strength in front of countless people, it would definitely be an excellent opportunity.
To be famous throughout the Primordial Era, this was an irresistible temptation for many!
Just by holding such an event, the authority of the Hidden Dragon Rank had been confirmed. No matter whether people were willing to admit it or not, when everyone wanted to occupy a rank on it, the Hidden Dragon Rank had undoubtedly successfully made its name known.
At this time, Bai Xiaosheng also announced that he would be releasing another Soaring Dragon List. There would be one hundred people on the list. The difference between the Soaring Dragon List and the Hidden Dragon List was that the requirement to be on the list was to be less than five hundred years old. On the other hand, the Soaring Dragon List was made up of top experts who were under one thousand five hundred years old.
Because the age of the people on the list was different, it directly caused a huge difference in the value of the two lists.
Relatively speaking, the Hidden Dragon List only included the new experts of the younger generation. They were relatively young, so most of their strength was limited to the peak of the Half-step Heaven Realm. Apart from a few people who were said to have broken through to the Heaven Realm, most of them were stuck at this position.
However, the Soaring Dragon List was different. According to Bai Xiaosheng, all the people on the list were Heaven Realm experts. Every single one of them was an outstanding genius. They were the true top experts of the younger generation of the Ancient Barrens Continent. They were the true elites, and there were no young experts who were stronger than them. On the internet, according to age, they could only be considered as the middle-aged generation, the older generation experts.
When this statement was released, it attracted the attention of countless young experts. Many people weren't interested in the Hidden Dragon List at first, as it was just a game for children to play. It wasn't much at all. However, the Soaring Dragon List wanted to capture all the top experts among them.
Before this list was announced, it had already attracted the attention of many people.
However, this wasn't the end. After the Soaring Dragon List, Bai Xiaosheng also announced that he would be releasing a Reputation List of the Ancient Barrens Continent. The purpose of this list was to gather all the top experts of the Ancient Barrens Continent. The most basic requirement to be on the list was to be at the ninth level of the Heaven Realm. It was said to gather all the top experts of the Ancient Barrens Continent.
These people were influential figures in the entire Ancient Barrens Continent. Any one of them was someone who could change the entire Ancient Barrens Continent. Hence, it was named the Reputation List. The number of people on this list was the lowest, with only fifty people.
Although there were only fifty people, there was no doubt that this Reputation List was the most valuable list. It could even be said that this was a list that could truly shake the Ancient Barrens Continent.
These people were basically the most influential figures in the Ancient Barrens Continent. In the past, there had always been guesses about their strength. However, these people rarely fought against each other. Hence, many people didn't have a clear conclusion. Moreover, this list involved the important figures of all the major forces. How many people would dare to casually discuss this?
Those experts who were ranked at the top were naturally happy. However, wouldn't those experts who were ranked at the bottom be terrifying?
No, in fact, they were terrifying as well. Any one of them could cause the ground to tremble with a single stomp.
Hence, there had never been such a list. By doing this, Bai Xiaosheng had undoubtedly poked a hornet's nest. Before this list was announced, it had already attracted the attention of countless experts. These were the true experts of the Ancient Barrens Continent.
Some ancient forces even said that if none of them were ranked on the list, or if their ranking was too low, then Bai Xiaosheng could only wait and see.
It was fine if the list wasn't announced. However, once it was announced, it would be a slap to their faces. Which one of these people wasn't powerful and had great authority? How could they tolerate such a slap to their faces?
However, no matter what, these three lists had suddenly become the topic that everyone was talking about. It was as though they had become authoritative and fair overnight.
These three lists had almost captured the entire Ancient Barrens Continent's young generation, new generation, and middle generation.
As for the older generation, it wasn't easy to calculate because many of them hadn't shown themselves for many years. Some of them might have silently passed away. There were also some who were thought to have passed away and appeared many years later. Hence, it was impossible to calculate the older generation. In addition, the era when they were active was too far away. Some of the old antiques of the Demon Race were like living fossils. The era when they were active was something that happened a hundred thousand years ago. Even the predecessors of the various overlords hadn't been born yet. Only the Demon Race, which had a long lifespan, could have such a record.
However, many people were guessing. Bai Xiaosheng could be said to be very resourceful. His information source was very powerful. Perhaps even the antiques of the various forces had records of it. There might even be such a list that existed in secret.
However, many people felt that even if there was such a list, Bai Xiaosheng would definitely not dare to announce it. Previously, even if it was the Windcloud List, the people that were announced were those who were still alive. It was nothing more than a ranking of their strength. In reality, it wouldn't damage their reputation too much because no matter what their ranking was, they were powerful existences that ordinary people couldn't reach.
However, those old antiques and living fossils of the older generation were different. Many of them were already on the verge of death. Those who should have died but didn't die were the trump cards prepared by the major forces. They might come in handy at the crucial moment. Moreover, many of them had enemies all over the world. If they were to be known that they didn't die, there would definitely be a conflict. If this news were to be revealed, there was no doubt that the 'All Knowing Scholar' would offend all the major forces to death. It was equivalent to revealing their trump cards. Which major force would be able to remain calm?
Once everyone was angered, Bai Xiaosheng would only be dead even if he went to the heavens. No matter how mysterious Bai Xiaosheng was, it was impossible for him to hide from everyone's eyes and ears. As long as this organization existed, it would definitely be discovered.
Previously, the various forces didn't want to offend Bai Xiaosheng too much. Hence, they didn't investigate with great fanfare.
It didn't mean that they didn't have the ability to do so. Even if one of them didn't, with so many forces added together, Bai Xiaosheng definitely couldn't afford to offend them. In other words, there wasn't a single force in the Ancient Barrens Continent that could afford to offend so many colossal forces.
Hence, as to whether this list of the older generation existed or not, this was only the speculation of some people. Bai Xiaosheng didn't directly respond to it.
After the commotion of these three lists had passed, the Soaring Dragon List and the Windcloud List had yet to be revealed. It was said that they were still in the process of being created. Hence, the Hidden Dragon List that was released first had undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention. Although it was only the experts of the younger generation, many people still wanted to find clues from this list.
Moreover, even if these experts were of the younger generation, they would become the new influential figures of the Ancient Barrens Continent in a few more years. Being young didn't mean that one's potential was small. One shouldn't underestimate them.
This list was quickly spread to the Ye Clan. Even Ye Xiwen, who was in seclusion in the Thousand Feather Realm, received the news about this list.
