Zhou Kingdom, Shengjing City.
This was the center of the entire Zhou Kingdom, but it had a history of less than twenty years.
Twenty years ago, this place was just a small, barren village. But under the command of Emperor Wulong, it only took three years for this place to become the world-famous Shengjing City.
As the capital of the Zhou Kingdom, martial arts were very popular here. However, most of the martial artists here were unaffiliated cultivators or from small sects who wanted to make a good living in Shengjing City.
It was rare to see disciples from large sects in Jianghu in Shengjing City.
After all, the imperial court and Jianghu were two different systems. Especially for those large sects in Jianghu, the conflict between the two was almost irreconcilable.
At this time, a large group of Jianghu people had gathered at the entrance of the Six Fan School's headquarters in Shengjing City. Most of them were Acquired Stage martial artists, but of course, there were many Innate Stage martial artists as well.
The decor of Six Fan Gate's headquarters was extremely low-key. The surrounding walls, including the buildings inside, were painted in a simple and unadorned black color. Apart from a pair of huge metal eagles that replaced the stone lions guarding the entrance, which was quite spectacular, there was nothing special about it.
Originally, the Six Fan School should be the existence that these Jianghu people feared the most. But now, they were all waiting at the entrance. Some of them even had pen and paper in their hands, as if they were waiting for something.
After about a quarter of an hour, a constable in a black and red official uniform walked out. He was holding a ranking list and pasted it on the bulletin board on the wall. A group of Jianghu people immediately shouted and began to push their way to the front.
"It's out! It's out! The Ranking List of Young Masters is finally out! "
"Hey, hey, hey, don't push. Don't you have some civility? If you continue to push, I'll splash ink on your face! "
"Damn it! If any son of a b * tch dares to push, I'll chop him in half! "
"F * ck! He's just a small fry at the peak of the Acquired Stage. What's there to be arrogant about? If you don't like it, let's go out and practice after we finish copying the ranking list! "
The constable who posted the ranking list stood at the side and watched this scene with interest. It should be said that this scene happened once a month.
The Jianghu ranking list published by the Six Fan School was updated once a month. It was pasted on the bulletin board at the entrance for everyone to see.
However, the Zhou Kingdom had 49 dynasties, and its territory was more than tens of millions of miles. There were also places like Eastern Jin in the east, the 36 countries of the Western Region in the west, and the Northern Grassland. If they wanted to see the Ranking List of Young Masters, they needed someone to spread the news.
And these guys who were busy copying the Ranking List of Young Masters were specialized in this kind of thing.
Every time the Ranking List of Young Masters came out, they would rush to copy the Ranking List of Young Masters and send it to various places in the world.
In order to know the changes of the Ranking List of Young Masters in time, those big sects would also not be too stingy with those who copied the Ranking List of Young Masters. Even if they casually rewarded a bottle of ordinary elixir, it would be priceless in the outside world and could not be bought even if they wanted to.
Moreover, after they sold them to the major sects and received the rewards, they could print a large number of copies of the Ranking List of Young Masters in a few days. They could go to any prefecture and bid ten taels of silver for one copy. They could guarantee that those gossipy Jianghu people who were not short of money would be able to buy them all in half a day.
However, there were too many people who specialized in this kind of work. Sometimes, when you planned to send the new Ranking List of Young Masters to the Sword-fighting Sect, you found that you were too slow and someone had already taken the lead. Then, the deal was over.
Therefore, these people desperately squeezed forward, wanting to grab the first-hand news and not let others take the lead.
A group of people looked at the Ranking List of Young Masters, and their subordinates began to sigh while copying it.
"Tao Addict Lin Changhe of the Taiyidaomen Sect has dominated the first place on the Ranking List of Young Masters for five years, right? Tut-tut, he is about to break the record. "
"Yes, the rankings of the second place Young Master Sword He Xiu and Marquis Junior An, Xiao Huang have not changed for two or three years. It seems that this year's Ranking List of Young Masters is very stable. With the strength of these three people, it is estimated that no one can shake this year's Ranking List of Young Masters."
Everyone read ten lines at a glance. Those whose rankings did not change did not need to copy. They only needed to record those whose rankings had changed, so that they could copy faster.
At this moment, someone suddenly screamed, "Wait! There is a big change! My God! 'Angel' Xie Zhiyan of the Sword Fighting Sect has jumped from 718th to 31st on the Ranking List of Young Masters! "
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
It was not easy to move up one rank on the Ranking List of Young Masters, but this person had moved up more than 30 ranks, which was a bit scary.
Everyone quickly glanced over the names in front and looked directly at the 31st.
"Name: Xie Zhiyan
Nickname: Nine Tribulations Yue Nu (originally 'Angel')
Sect: Sword Fighting Sect
Martial Arts: Sword-fighting Observation Skill, Supreme Nine Tribulations Sword
Strength: Innate Qi Hai Level
Battle Record: Since leaving the mountain to wander in Jianghu, she alone and with one sword, wiped out the Twelve Bandits of Taihu and the Four Villains of Black Luo Mountain. She achieved the primary level of the Sword-fighting Observation Skill without any flaws and earned the title of 'Angel'.
Three days ago, she performed the Supreme Nine Tribulations Sword in Chang Ning Mansion with the help of the sword will of Sword Master Meng Jingxian, a Divinity Realm martial artist, and helped Xia Tan establish Xia Tang Master Jiang Ling.
Ranking: 31st. "
"Hiss!"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
An Innate Qi Hai Stage martial artist who was two levels above her to kill a Divinity Realm martial artist was something that had not happened in decades.
As for whether Xie Zhiyan had borrowed the help of Meng Jingxian's sword will, it was not important at all.
If Xie Zhiyan was not strong enough, she would not have been able to kill Jiang Ling even with the help of Meng Jingxian's sword will.
Moreover, the Ranking List of Young Masters issued by the Six Fan School was more reliable. Based on the results, Xie Zhiyan would definitely be in the top 20 or even the top 15 if she killed Jiang Ling.
But now, she was ranked 31st. This must be the real evaluation of her by the Six Fan School after excluding the external factors.
Everyone wrote on the paper excitedly. This was big news, and they could exchange it for a lot of money.
"Hey, hey, hey. There's another change here. There's an Acquired Stage martial artist on the list!"
Everyone was stunned. An Acquired Stage martial artist could be on the Ranking List of Young Masters? How weak were the talents of this year's Ranking List of Young Masters?
Everyone looked at the bottom of the Ranking List of Young Masters. Indeed, there was an additional unfamiliar name at the bottom.
"Name: Su Xin
Nickname: Fast Sword
Sect: None
Kung Fu: Nameless Fast Sword, strange and ruthless. His fist and palm skills are also extraordinary.
Strength: Acquired Stage
Record: Originally the leader of a small gang in Xiangnan. Three days ago, he killed Fang Dongting, the son of an elder of Qingcheng sword school and ranked 105th on the Ranking List of Young Masters. At the same time, Qingcheng sword school offered a high price for him and ranked 345th on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
Ranking: 105th. "
This time, the crowd was not too surprised. After all, Xie Zhiyan's big breakthrough had happened before. Moreover, Su Xin was just a nobody before, so he could not cause such a big shock.
But even so, Su Xin's record was enough to attract their attention. This was a big event second only to Xie Zhiyan's big breakthrough on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
It was unheard of for a nobody to kill Fang Dongting, who was in the Innate Stage, with the strength of the Acquired Stage.
It could be said that since the establishment of the Ranking List of Young Masters, they had never heard of a person in the Acquired Stage who could get on the Ranking List of Young Masters. Moreover, he stepped on the corpse of the previous outstanding talent on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
At the same time, some people secretly remembered the name Su Xin. But the description of Su Xin was too simple. Whether it was Kung Fu or his background, it was not clear.
In fact, the vague description of Su Xin was deliberately done by the Six Fan School. Tie Wuqing had instructed them in advance.
Although the fairness of the Ranking List of Young Masters was important, Su Xin was already a member of the Six Fan School. It was not a problem to make some slight changes.
In the next six months, Su Xin's name would still be on the Ranking List of Young Masters, so it was better to keep a low profile.
But even so, from today on, the name 'Fast Sword' Su Xin would spread throughout the martial arts world along with the Ranking List of Young Masters.
The outstanding talents on the Ranking List of Young Masters were the most outstanding disciples of the younger generation in the martial arts world. Even if he was ranked at the bottom, it was enough to prove his extraordinariness.
A day later, on the Divine Sword Peak of the Yi Sword Sect in Jiannan Dao, Xie Zhiyan held Xin 'er in her arms. She held the latest Ranking List of Young Masters and said, "Xin' er, you don't have to worry. Your brother is fine now."
Xin 'er held a long sword that was about the same height as her. She nodded with tears in her big eyes and said, "Well, Xin' er won't cry anymore. When Xin 'er finishes practicing swordsmanship, I will go down the mountain to protect my brother!"
At this time, in Xiangnan, Su Xin had been waiting here for three days. Finally, Tie Wuqing, who had taken care of everything, came.
As soon as he saw Su Xin, Tie Wuqing laughed and said, "Su Xin, the outstanding talent on the Ranking List of Young Masters, you are now quite famous in the outside world."
Su Xin asked in confusion, "What outstanding talent on the Ranking List of Young Masters?"
Tie Wuqing took out a token from his arms and handed it to Su Xin. He also took out a copy of the Ranking List of Young Masters and threw it to him.
"This is the token that represents your identity and the latest issue of the Ranking List of Young Masters. You and Xie Zhiyan are listed as one of the two big news in this issue of the Ranking List of Young Masters."
Su Xin took out the Ranking List of Young Masters and glanced at it. He read the description about himself.
Everything else was fine. Keeping a low profile for the time being was what Su Xin wanted.
But what the hell was with the nickname 'Quick Sword'? It sounded like a nickname used by a passerby or an extra.
Fortunately, Su Xin used a sword. If he used a spear, the Ranking List of Young Masters would give him the nickname 'Quick Spear'. Then, Su Xin would be crying without tears.
"I say, Lord Tie, who gave me this nickname? Does this person have a grudge against me? Can it be any worse? "
As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison. Look at Xie Zhiyan's nickname, Nine Tribulations Yue Girl. Tsk tsk, it was full of pretentiousness.
Nine Tribulations referred to Xie Zhiyan's Supreme Nine Tribulations Sword, one of the four major sword techniques of the Sword Fighting Sect — Life, Death, Illusion, and Annihilation. Even the direct disciples of the Sword Fighting Sect could not learn it and were qualified to learn it. There were never more than ten disciples in each generation who were qualified to learn the four major sword techniques.
And Yue Girl was a legendary female Sword Dao Grandmaster in the Middle Ages.
There were very few women in the martial arts world. There were even fewer who could become a Sword Dao Grandmaster at the peak of the martial arts world like the legendary Yue Girl.
The nickname of Nine Tribulations Yue Girl was also a kind of affirmation for Xie Zhiyan, believing that she could reach the height of Yue Girl in the future.
