It was not easy for the Chess and Sword Music School to be one of the top three schools among these behemoths. There were many talented people in the Yue House, and every Head of the Yue House was a brilliant genius. There was almost nothing that they did not know, and they would often become the Imperial Tutors of the Beimang officials. Their status was even more respected than the Head of Ceremonies. The most interesting thing about the House of Chess, Sword, and Music was that no matter how many mouths it could feed, it would take in disciples based on the number of Ci names in the world. Right now, there were 612 Ci names in the world, which meant that the House of Chess, Sword, and Music currently had a maximum of 612 people. Only if a great literary figure created a new Ci name and had a famous piece passed down would the House of Chess, Sword, and Music be able to add another person. However, the Yue House had already abandoned the use of Ci names 64 times, and there were still a considerable number of Ci names that would not be used easily. As long as no suitable person appeared to take the title, it would be left empty.
Taking everything into account, the Chess and Sword Music School currently had no more than 500 people. It was no wonder that the children of the Beimang nobles who were as numerous as carps crossing the river wanted to enter this school as if they were possessed. Hong Jingyan, who was ranked seventh in the Wushu Rankings for the first time, was from the Chess and Sword Music School. His Ci name was Geng Lezi. This Ci name was originally not that special in the Yue House, only ranked fourth in the middle. However, it was believed that after Hong Jingyan appeared, Geng Lezi would become the most popular Ci name in the Yue House. If the next Ci name was not a great talent who did not lose to Hong Jingyan, there would be no way for them to take the title.
Hsu Fengnian counted on his fingers. "There are five first-class Ci names, and they have been passed down for hundreds of years without any changes. For the two-word Ci name, Han Gu takes first place. For the three-word Ci name, the Command of Peace and Sword Aura are tied. For the four-word Ci name, the Divinator Slow takes first place, and there is also a bronze figure Cuilu Pan. In the past, the Prefect of Peace had always been the Great Prefect, and the Prefect of Sword Qi had always been the Prefect of the Sword Prefecture. The Prefects of the Chess Prefecture and the Yue Prefecture had no particular requirements when it came to their names. However, the previous and current Taiping Decrees were not able to become the Emperor's Preceptor. The reason was that after the Empress of Beimang ascended the throne, she once reprimanded the Taiping Decrees to his face. Since ancient times, the sacrificial rites were arranged according to heaven and earth, the monarch, the parents, and the teacher. The Lonely One had no parents to kneel and worship. If you think you can stand shoulder to shoulder with heaven and earth, then you can become the Emperor's Preceptor. These words were indeed spoken by an Emperor. It sounded very domineering. However, the Imperial Decree of Peace did not become the Imperial Preceptor, and the current Han Gu became the Crown Princess, it could be considered a slap in the face and a date. Beimang's own top-notch master, Broken Spear Wang Mao, ranked fourth in the Li Yang Dynasty, belongs to the Four Pillars of Jianghu, far more than the Chess and Sword Music School. However, the school closest to the Beimang Palace is still the Chess and Sword Music School. "
Beimang borrowed the strength of the young leader of Wudang Mountain in the south and Li Chungang's sword that broke 2600 armor to create a new ranking that included masters from two dynasties. However, because one of them was killed and the other was seriously injured, they did not make it onto the ranking. They were suspected of burning the bridge after crossing the river. The Li Yang Dynasty had always complained about the ranking of their own dynasty, but this time, most of them were convinced by the ranking made by Beimang barbarians. The first place was Wang Xianzhi from Wu Wu City, the second place was Tuoba, the undisputed number one in Beimang's army, and the third place was Đồng Thái, the Peach Blossom Sword God. Next was Hong Jingyan, who had been dormant in the Chess and Sword Music School for 20 years and finally made a name for himself. Cao Changqing, who had entered the Imperial Palace three times like passing through the corridors. General Gu Jiantang, who had recently become the leader of the world's machetemen, Luo Yang, who was the only one who dared to enter Beimang's Imperial City openly, Murong Baoding of Orange State, Deng Mao, who had been defeated by Spear Fairy Wang Xiu back then, and Han Diaosi, who was nicknamed Human Cat, ranked tenth.
Each dynasty had five masters, and it could be said that the world was divided equally between the north and the south. However, it was obvious that Beimang's ranking was relatively lower, which was also the key to the Li Yang Dynasty's approval of the ranking. This kind of unbiased ranking was less exaggerated.
Additionally, it was worth mentioning that at the end of the ranking, two saints of the three religions were specifically pointed out. They were Beimang's State Preceptor, Daoist Master Qilin, and Daoist Master Qilin. The other one was the abbot of the Two Zen Temples.
Among them, Hong Jingyan, who didn't use a sword, was the pillar of the Chess and Sword Music School.
"I wonder what Wang Weixue's name is. If I remember correctly, there's' Remembering the Flute on the Phoenix Terrace 'in the name. Wouldn't he have to report such a long list when he meets people? Moreover, this name is really suitable for both refined and popular tastes. I wonder which unlucky person has the courage to walk out of the Chess and Sword Music School. "
After Hsu Fengnian raised his head and laughed, he glanced at Jiaoyang and murmured sadly, "Old Li, you're not on the ranking. Aren't you annoyed by this forgetful Jianghu? When you see the stubborn Jiang Ni, let's see how you're going to trick her into learning swordsmanship from you. As for the bull-riding guy, you bastard, why don't you stay a little longer? Martial arts is the best in the world. Didn't you always say that no matter how good you are at the top of Wudang Mountain? The only time you weren't a coward was when you tricked my sister, and I didn't even settle the score with you. In any case, let me, your brother-in-law, roam the Jianghu and brag to others, right? "
When the young Wang Dashi reached out to wipe his sweat, he inadvertently saw Young Master Xu's side profile. He struggled to stand on his tiptoes and sneaked a glance at the girl's back, feeling melancholy in his heart.
The reason for his melancholy was simple: he wasn't even as tall as her.
