"Fang Hao, what are the abilities of the Innate Stage martial artists on the leaderboard? How many of them have not been recruited by the mayor or Yan Zhongheng? "Su Xin asked.
If he wanted to challenge the leaderboard, he had to gather all the information first. Otherwise, he would ruin his plans if he went recklessly.
Fang Hao, who had lived in Merchant Mountain City for more than a decade, was very familiar with this information. He answered without thinking, "The top ten martial artists on the leaderboard are all at the Innate Spirit Aperture stage, but no one knows how many orifices they have unlocked.
However, the number one on the leaderboard, 'Wind-breaking Blade' Lie Zizhong, reached the Seven Perfected Aperture stage and the pinnacle of the Spirit Aperture stage two years ago. Lie Zizhong has also been recruited by the mayor as his number one expert. "
Above the Innate Qi Hai stage was the Spirit Aperture stage. The Spirit Aperture stage mainly focused on unlocking the seven orifices — the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose — to increase one's spiritual sense. When the seven orifices were perfected, one could communicate with the power of heaven and earth, refine the God's Palace in the glabella, and enter the God's Realm.
However, Su Xin was surprised. "Why aren't there any God's Realm martial artists on the leaderboard?"
Fang Hao explained, "There were in the past, but after those martial artists advanced to the God's Realm, they would not stay in Merchant Mountain City. Instead, they would all leave in search of opportunities to advance to the Primordial Soul stage. Therefore, once they left, their names were naturally erased from the leaderboard."
Su Xin nodded. Advancing from the God's Realm to the Primordial Soul stage was not something that could be achieved by taking elixirs and cultivating hard. One had to have an epiphany.
Even the disciples of the major sects had to travel the Jianghu in search of opportunities to break through to the Primordial Soul stage.
If one stayed at home and cultivated in seclusion, they would not be able to break through to the Primordial Soul stage even if they died.
Therefore, as long as there were opportunities, martial artists who wanted to advance to the Primordial Soul stage would definitely not stay in one place for the rest of their lives.
Fang Hao continued, "The top thirty to the top ten on the leaderboard are all Innate Qi Hai stage martial artists. Most of them have been recruited by the mayor and the few young masters. Only three have not been recruited.
One of them was Nie Fang, who was ranked sixteenth. He was a blacksmith, but he was very talented. He was taken in as a disciple by a Jianghu expert, who taught him martial arts.
After the death of the Jianghu's Mutant, he continued to mingle around in the city of Shangshan. Usually, he helped people forge special weapons. He did not accept silver, but instead, he specialized in all kinds of medicinal pills and other resources. He lived a very prosperous life, so he did not agree to anyone who came to recruit him.
The second was Dong Lin Dojo's Dojo Master, Tao Qian, ranked 21st on the Windcloud List.
His Donglin Martial Arts Dojo was said to have been opened in the Donglin Prefecture of Xiangnan. Within the Donglin Prefecture, his Martial Arts Dojo was considered the largest force. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to call it Donglin Martial Arts Dojo.
However, he seemed to have accidentally offended the Xiangnan Sect, Qianji Godly Knife Sect, and was forced to break up his family. He also escaped from Donglin Manor after being heavily injured, and came to Shangshan City to seek a living.
Oh, right, the current Ninth Young Master Yan Chengheng's mother was from the Thousand Trickeries Divine Saber Sect.
Tao Qian has now rebuilt the Donglin Martial Arts Dojo. Because of his Xiantian Realm strength and the name of a powerhouse on the Windcloud List, there are quite a number of people who come to learn martial arts. Therefore, whether it is cultivation resources or silver, he is not lacking. He also rejected the recruitment of others. "
Su Xin nodded thoughtfully. These two people had rejected the City Lord's and Yan Zhongheng's recruitment for one thing in common, and that was that they were self-sufficient. The City Lord's and Yan Zhongheng's offer couldn't move them.
It was precisely because of this that they had the confidence to reject the City Lord and Yan Zhongheng's recruitment.
"What's the situation with the third person now?"
Fang Hao said with a strange expression, "The third person who was not recruited is called Hong Lietao. He is the strongest, ranked 13th on the Windcloud List. His nickname is' Keep Fighting Despite Repeated Defeats'. He is quite an eccentric person."
Su Xin asked curiously, "This nickname is interesting. Also, why is he eccentric?"
Repeated defeats was not a good word, but repeated defeats was used to describe a person's determination and unyielding character. However, it was not appropriate to use this term as a nickname for a martial artist.
It did not matter if you were repeatedly defeated or repeatedly defeated, it was not a good word. Anyway, this nickname proved that you were trash and often lost.
Fang Hao said, "It is normal for people on the Windcloud List to challenge martial artists who are ranked higher than them, but they all challenge the people ranked above them in the normal order.
But he is different. He insisted on challenging the top ten martial artists on the Windcloud List, saying that it would not be honorable even if he won against someone of the same rank, so he insisted on challenging those who are of a higher rank.
He fought with Spirit Aperture Realm martial artists with Qi Hai Realm cultivation, and naturally, he did not win a single battle. However, he still enjoyed it, so he was called 'Keep Fighting Despite Repeated Defeats'.
"Also, it is not that he rejected the recruitment, but the conditions for him to accept the recruitment are very strange. He must be defeated by the other party before he would agree to join the other party."
Su Xin said in astonishment, "This doesn't seem difficult, right? Whether it is the City Lord's subordinates or Yan Zhongheng's subordinates, can't they even find a Spirit Aperture Realm martial artist? "
Fang Hao smiled bitterly and said, "They can find one, but even if you beat him with a Spirit Aperture Realm martial artist, he would not be convinced. He must defeat a martial artist of the same rank as him before he would be convinced.
Later on, Second Young Master found an Innate Qi Hai warrior from the Li Huo Cult. After much effort, he finally defeated his opponent. In the end, Second Young Master said that his opponent's innate condition was better than his, that his weapon was better than his, and that his martial techniques were better than his. He asked the Li Huo Cult warrior to change to a normal weapon and not to use those powerful martial techniques to fight with him.
The Infernal Sect disciple was also human, and he threw away the weapon that was specially made for him and was not allowed to use the powerful martial skills of the Infernal Sect. Of course, he could not defeat Hong Lietao.
To be ranked thirteenth on the Windcloud List, even if Hong Lietao's strength was weaker than the disciples of the big sects, he was not much weaker.
This way, he directly angered Second Young Master's man and drove him away. Others knew of his character, and no one came to recruit him. "
Su Xin nodded, pushed open the door and walked out, saying, "Lead the way, let's go meet the Dong Lin Martial Dojo's Dojo Master Tao."
Fang Hao nodded and led the way to the Dong Lin Martial Dojo in the west of the city.
This Dong Lin Martial Dojo was not small. Looking at the scale of the outside, there were four courtyards that could accommodate more than 500 people practicing martial arts at the same time.
At this time, there were about a hundred young disciples practicing martial arts in the courtyard. The youngest was only seven or eight years old, and the oldest was about 20 years old.
And a middle-aged martial artist who was about 40 or 50 years old, with a dignified appearance, was inspecting them one by one, constantly pointing out their mistakes. This person was naturally the Dong Lin Martial Dojo's Dojo Master Tao Qian.
Actually, it was not easy to run a martial dojo. There were many people who knew martial arts, but there were not many who could open a martial dojo to teach disciples.
Being able to practice but not be able to teach was a problem that many martial artists had. Therefore, some martial artists would not accept disciples in their lifetime. It was not that they did not want to accept disciples, but that they did not know how to teach even if they accepted.
This was the same as Su Xin's previous life. Not everyone could be a teacher. Having a high educational background did not mean that one could become a good teacher.
When Su Xin and the others entered the dojo, Tao Qian had already sensed it. At the same time, he also felt the aura emitted from Su Xin's body, which was not inferior to his at all.
Tao Qian immediately walked out, cupped his hands and said, "I wonder why the two of you have come to my dojo?"
In the past, there were Innate Stage martial artists from Merchant Mountain City who threw their disciples here to let him teach them some martial arts basics. After all, he had a lot of experience.
But these two, one was obviously a follower, and the other was only in his twenties. They clearly did not look like such people.
Su Xin chuckled and said, "I came to invite Dojo Master Tao to serve my family's young miss."
Tao Qian's eyes narrowed, "I wonder who your family's young miss is?"
"Yan Qingxue."
Tao Qian instantly widened his eyes, "You are Meng Qingze! Ranked Mortal expert, Meng Qingze? "
Yesterday, the news of Meng Qingze joining Yan Qingxue and defeating three Innate Stage Qi Hai Realm martial artists by himself had spread throughout the entire Merchant Mountain City. Of course, Tao Qian knew about it.
Su Xin cupped his hands and said, "I don't deserve the title of Ranked Mortal expert. I wonder if you are willing to serve my family's young miss?"
Tao Qian said without even thinking, "I, Tao Qian, appreciate Young Miss Yan's kind intentions, but I really do not want to be involved in the internal struggles of Merchant Mountain City. Young Master Meng, please leave."
Su Xin laughed coldly, "You do not want to be involved in the internal struggles of Merchant Mountain City? Dojo Master Tao, this matter is not as simple as you think. You are already involved! "
Tao Qian's expression changed, "What do you mean?"
Su Xin looked at the many disciples in the Martial Arts Practice Field and said indifferently, "There are too many people here. Is it convenient to speak?"
Tao Qian looked deeply at Su Xin and brought Su Xin and Meng Qingxue to a reception hall. He said, "Young Master Meng, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. What exactly do you mean?"
Su Xin stared at Tao Qian and said, "Dojo Master Tao, I have heard about your past.
Back then, your Dong Lin Martial Dojo was one of the biggest forces in Dong Lin Prefecture. In the end, because you offended the Thousand Machine Godly Blade Sect, your family was destroyed and you fled to this Merchant Mountain City with heavy injuries.
In Merchant Mountain City, even the Thousand Machine Godly Blade Sect did not dare to act recklessly. Actually, you could have concealed your identity, but you opened a new martial dojo and named it Dong Lin Martial Dojo. I'm afraid you will not let go of what happened in the past so easily, right? "
Tao Qian's eyes immediately became crimson red when he heard Su Xin mention the past events from back then.
His family was destroyed and he had an irreconcilable feud with the Thousand Machine Godly Blade Sect.
But unfortunately, the gap between the two parties was too great. The other party was a famous sect in Xiangnan. They had over a hundred Xiantian martial artists under them. There was even a Primordial Spirit Realm martial arts master in the sect. He, a small martial dojo master, was simply not on the same level as the other party.
So even if he hated the other party in his heart, Tao Qian could only struggle at death's door in Merchant Mountain City.
But just as Su Xin said, he was unwilling to let go of everything. So he used the last of his savings to rebuild Dong Lin Martial Dojo in Merchant Mountain City and also gave it the same name.
