"Zhang Tiannan is so handsome."
"Yes, yes."
"Handsome, elegant, and strong."
"Hey, are you thinking of love?"
"Of course not …"
Zhang Tiannan's move won him a lot of praise, showing the demeanor of a martial artist. The spectators were also talking about it.
Zhang Tiannan, who had walked down the stage, quickly returned to the spectator seats and sat down.
"Oh, Young Master Zhang is so handsome, elegant, and strong." Seeing Zhang Tiannan return, Fatty Tang also learned from the martial artist beside him and ridiculed him.
"Not bad, I didn't lose." Zhang Tiannan also retorted.
Hu Meng's cultivation was higher than his by a few grades, and his martial arts cultivation was similar to his. If not for his Iron Mountain Palm breaking through to Large Success, he was afraid that he would have lost. At that time, his opponent would not have given him the time to take the Ferghana Horse.
Therefore, he was very lucky to win this match. The battle strength of the two people was already at the Martial General Realm.
Zhang Tiannan also recognized his opponent's strength. After his Iron Mountain Palm reached Large Success, the power that erupted was enough to seriously injure his opponent. Therefore, he went over to help him up. After all, it was just a competition.
"However, your injuries are not light. Why bother? If you can't beat him, then use Chasing Moon." Fatty Tang continued.
Zhang Tiannan admittedly won, but he was suppressed by Hu Meng. It was not a joke.
He was indeed injured. When he was at a disadvantage, Hu Meng did not give him a chance. Now, his internal organs were still shaken, and his arms were almost broken.
"Don't be sarcastic. If you can do it, then go." Zhang Tiannan glanced at Fatty Tang.
This damn fatty, I already won, but he is still talking nonsense.
"Humph, with this level of skill, once I use my Divine Martial Skill, it will only take one move." Fatty Tang said without the slightest embarrassment.
"Haha." Zhang Tiannan was helpless. His skin was so thick.
Was there a need for someone of the same rank to ride a Ferghana horse? Only Fatty Tang's martial skills were sparse and ordinary. However, this fellow's skin was quite thick.
"Yu Fei wins this round. Next, Mo Chen and Wen Liu, please step onto the stage," continued the old man.
"…" The two of them looked at each other. They had just exchanged a few words when the match ended. They could not help but look at the stage.
Yu Fei was dressed in a black warrior suit and stood on the battling platform. The warrior opposite him was already lying down.
He sensed that the Yuan Qi fluctuations around Yu Fei had already exceeded the Martial Master level. If he was not wrong, he should be at the Martial General level. This was the first Martial General level warrior to appear since the start of the competition.
As for the person lying on the ground, he was only a rank three Martial Master. It was understandable that he would be defeated in a few moves. After all, they were not on the same level.
"Yu Fei has a chance to enter the top 100," Zhang Tiannan said after taking a look.
"More or less. However, if I go on stage, Yu Fei's ending will be similar to the one lying on the ground." Fatty Tang also nodded and said. However, he did not forget to boast about himself in the end.
"Alright, if you don't rely on your Divine Martial Skill, your ending won't be any better." Zhang Tiannan was really convinced by this clown and mercilessly attacked him.
"Who asked him to not have it?" Fatty Tang said smugly.
"You know he doesn't have it, but who is this Yu Fei? I've never heard of him." Zhang Tiannan did not think so. Those who could participate in the selection must be under the age of 30. The Martial General level was not low. Perhaps the other party also had it.
"It doesn't matter if he does. I don't believe his cultivation grade is higher than mine. As for Yu Fei, isn't it normal that you haven't heard of him? You can't possibly know all the martial artists in Sentry Town, right?" Fatty Tang said indifferently.
First, he had tricked his father into raising him to the Wuzong level. Now, he was using the Heaven's Pride Rankings as an opportunity to ask his father for spirit stones to raise him. That was tens of thousands of spirit stones. Even if an ordinary person could take out that much money, they wouldn't be willing to use it like this.
As for the martial artists he had never heard of, there were always a few young experts who would pop up on the Heaven's Pride Rankings. Once the Central Xuan Region's Ranking Competition began, there would be even more.
Many martial artists were sharpening their swords, preparing to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat and leave their names on the Heaven's Pride Rankings.
Every empire's cities and towns also produced many young and powerful martial artists.
Yu Fei could be considered one of the stronger young martial artists in Sentry Town. But in the empire, if he only had his current cultivation, he probably wouldn't even be able to enter the top 100.
The Aquamarine Empire had dozens of cities and hundreds of cities. Only the top 100 would be sent to the Central Xuan Region to participate in the final Ranking Competition. Last time, only one martial artist had managed to make it onto the Heaven's Pride Rankings.
Some empires didn't even have a single martial artist on the Heaven's Pride Rankings. That was because there were only 100 people on the Heaven's Pride Rankings. Those that could make it onto the Heaven's Pride Rankings were the pinnacle geniuses of the entire continent.
Even if it was possible to raise some martial artists with high cultivation, there would always be differences in combat experience, special physiques, weapons, martial skills, and so on. There were only 100 people on the Heaven's Pride Rankings, so it was understandable that they wouldn't make it onto the Heaven's Pride Rankings.
The Heaven's Pride Rankings would only select 100 martial artists. Martial artists ranked below 100 weren't necessarily weak. They might be lacking in battle, but they could still be considered peak geniuses.
The Heaven's Pride Rankings were distributed throughout the entire continent. It was impossible to have tens of thousands of people on the Heaven's Pride Rankings. After all, it was just a ranking of young martial artists. If they took tens of thousands of people and wrote them into a book, that would be meaningless.
The purpose of the Heaven's Pride Rankings was to give all the young martial artists on the continent a chance to shine. It was to arouse everyone's desire to improve themselves on the martial path.
Moreover, the rankings were released every three years, so it was very fast. This was mainly due to the fact that young martial artists improved very quickly at the beginning of the martial path.
"The cultivation of this year's martial artists is not bad." Zhang Tiannan naturally didn't know all the martial artists in Sentry Town, but the cultivation of this year's martial artists was not bad.
Last time, there were martial artists on the Heaven's Pride Rankings. This time, there were no martial artists on the stage. The lowest level was a Martial Master.
"It's because of Store Manager Mo's grocery store," Fatty Tang said matter-of-factly.
In previous years, there definitely wouldn't be so many Martial Masters. Even if it were Zhang Tiannan, Fatty Tang, and the others, if they didn't have the items from the grocery store to assist their cultivation, they would probably have just entered the Martial Master level.
These two guys were rich and had good conditions in all aspects. Their talent wasn't bad either, but they were barely below the Martial Master level. One could imagine how the others were like.
Indeed, the grocery store had raised the level of martial arts in Sentry Town. Although Wangzai pills were more expensive than ordinary pills, the effects were better. Therefore, they were willing to spend more Spirit Stones. Their cultivation improved very quickly.
Ordinary people might not be able to afford Wangzai pills, but as long as they were martial artists, they could still earn money by joining a mercenary group, army, or sect.
One bag cost 10 Spirit Stones and could raise one's cultivation by one Martial Artist Level in five days. Considering that Martial Artist Level Martial Artists could not afford it every week, a few months was enough for a batch of Martial Master Level Martial Artists to emerge.
Although the grocery store currently didn't have any cultivation resources for high-ranked martial artists, the foundation was already laid. The faster they passed the beginning stage of martial arts, the more capable they would be of earning Spirit Stones.
It was also beneficial for their future path of martial arts.
"Fatty Tang, now that you mention it, I feel like we're dragging you down," Zhang Tiannan said with a smile.
Speaking of resources, they didn't lack anything. The improvement of their martial arts standards also meant that the gap between them had narrowed. Zhang Tiannan also felt the pressure.
If some rogue cultivators were to catch up to their cultivation, then the two families would lose face.
"What you said makes sense." After all, external forces were external forces. Even if they relied on Hanxue Horse to stay on the Prodigy List, if their cultivation couldn't keep up, they would be criticized.
Fatty Tang thought about it. Zhang Tiannan's words made sense.
But what did I think back then? Yes, once I broke through to the Martial Master level, my father would let me play freely. But now that I think about it, if some martial artists really caught up to me, my father's temper wouldn't be good.
Why is it different from before? I'm done for. I feel like if I can't enter the Martial General level sooner, my personal freedom will be a problem.
Wang Zai was still effective for Martial Masters. His cultivation progress, which had been slacking for the past few days, did not even need to catch up to his own cultivation base. If his cultivation base was lower than his own, his father would not let him have an easy time. After all, cultivation resources were continuously supplied to him.
"Store Manager Mo." Fatty Tang sighed. Success came from the grocery store and failure came from the grocery store.
I still have to hurry up and cultivate. Fatty Tang glanced at his father in the stands and looked away.
"Store Manager Mo is here? Where is he?" Zhang Tiannan thought that Mo Tiankong had come and asked.
"… The store is only closed on Sundays," Fatty Tang said faintly. Are you stupid, brother?
"Oh, that's true." Zhang Tiannan felt a bit awkward.
"Wouldn't it be great if store manager Mo also participated? Then, he would've encountered us and been eliminated." Fatty Tang said with a smile. Before, Mo Tiankong had said that he was only a rank three Martial King. If he were to participate, then it would be fun if he were to be eliminated.
"Haha, have you forgotten how long it took Store Manager Mo to reach the Martial King level from a martial artist?" Zhang Tiannan glanced at this guy. He still wanted to eliminate Mo Tiankong? He was probably still dreaming. It had already been half a month since Mo Tiankong revealed his cultivation level.
Who knew what level he was at now? Mo Tiankong's cultivation speed was incomprehensible. It changed every week. If he really met Fatty Tang, it was possible that he would be defeated.
"Also, Store Manager Mo's pet, Auspicious, has flames all over its body. It is definitely a higher level Monster than the Ferghana Horse." Although Auspicious was still small, it was very eye-catching. Mo Tiankong had already said not to touch Auspicious. He would not compensate for the burns.
It could be seen that the power of the flames was very strong. If they really fought, would the Ferghana Horse be able to withstand it?
"… I'm just saying. Don't take it seriously." Fatty Tang decisively admitted defeat. In summary, the difference was a bit big.
However, the two of them were thinking too much. Auspicious's battle power was only equivalent to that of a Martial General. Martial Masters' cultivation was increased by eating Monster Beasts. Mo Tiankong was not willing to spend spirit stones to nurture it.
Of course, as long as their Ferghana Horse was not at the peak of the Martial King level, Mo Tiankong could still defeat them without any pressure.
Moreover, the two of them were Martial Masters. Auspicious could easily beat the two of them if they were at the same level.
"This round, Wen Liu wins. Next group …"
The competition was still going on … This was the second Martial Commander level martial artist.
