Chapter 58: 058 Making the World Move

Translator: 549690339

In Divine City, thousands of kilometers away from Jiangzhou, there was rain in the early morning.

Outside the gate of the martial arts academy stood a wooden board, its surface paint almost entirely peeled off from exposure to the wind and sun over the years.

Pasted on the board in a row were red sheets of paper, each inscribed with a name.

Some offers had not been replaced for a long time and had almost completely faded.

Suddenly, two oil-paper umbrellas walked over from a distance. The newcomers, an old man and a young man, were both armed, obviously martial artists.

The two stood in front of the board, and the younger man stared in disbelief at what stood before him. “Is this the legendary Heaven’s List?”

Stroking his beard, the old man glanced at the various listings on the board and smiled, “When I first came here, I was even more surprised than you.”

On this board were several lists lauded throughout Jianghu: the Grandmaster List, First Rank List, Heaven’s Chosen List, Hidden Dragon List, and Beauty list…

All lists were from there.

It is said that these lists have been around for over a thousand years and their accuracy has been proven over countless years.

Looking upon the red paper on the board, the youth realized that each name listed was of a famous strongman. The stark contrast numbed his spirits.

The old man mused, “For us martial artists, it would not be a waste of our lives to leave our names on this list.”

The young man couldn’t help but imagine how glorious it would be one day if his name could appear on one of these lists. His blood boiled at the mere thought.

However, judging from the faded condition of the red paper, it appeared that the Beauty List was the newest, and even that was nearly a year old.

The oldest list naturally would be the Grandmaster List, ranked only by peerless strongmen of Divine Power Realm. It had not been replaced in many years.

As they were busy talking, an old man came over, limping, with one hand holding an umbrella and the other a bucket. Tucked under his arm was a red sheet of paper.

Rush.

The old man suddenly tore a list from the board.

“What are you doing—”

The youth, having just accepted the disparity between the legendary list and the shabby reality, was enraged at the sight of someone daring to deface the list. His words were cut short as the older man beside him covered his mouth.

With an excited look on his face, the older man said, “Shut up, this is the one who changes the list. There’s been a change in the ranking.”

What?

The youth was stunned, unable to comprehend how a lame old man could be the one in charge of changing the list.

Wait, what did he just say? The list was changed?

Bolting upright, the youth realized that the torn off list had been the Hidden Dragon List.

The Hidden Dragon List ranked the highest cultivators under the age of thirty, listing only the top twenty.

All those on the list were at least of the Third Rank.

The top five were even of the Second Grade.

All those listed on the Hidden Dragon List were the most outstanding martial talents of their generation. Even though they weren’t as dazzling as the figures on the Heaven’s Chosen List, they weren’t far behind.

As it turned out, the number of strongmen of the Divine Power Realm that came from the Hidden Dragon List was higher than those arising from the Heaven’s Chosen List.

If his memory served him well, it had been over a year since the last change in the Hidden Dragon list.

In Jianghu, of all the lists, three garnered the most attention: the Beauty List, the Heaven’s Chosen List, and the Hidden Dragon List.

Astonishing beauty was loved by all, but it was as hard as ascending to heaven to catch even a glimpse of them.

The people on the Heaven’s Chosen List were known for their legendary prowess, but they were rarely ever seen in Jianghu, having secluded themselves for rigorous cultivation. All that remains of them are legends.

Only those on the Hidden Dragon List were quite active. There were often tales of their exploits, making it the hottest list.
