Chapter 272 - Good Targets to Bully (1/2)

Zhong Yue was shocked to know that Feng Xiaozhong was so talented, being listed in the top ten among all of the Qi Practitioners in the Godlike Board!

One have to know, the names that could be listed in the Godlike Board weren't that simple, even some of them have already ascend to the level of gods!

For Feng Xiaozhong to be listed as number seven among them all, one could infer how appallingly talented he was!

And yet, such a talent was laid in waste as he was now a nothing but a madman, he couldn't contribute anything at all to the human race and was sealed away.

Qiu Jin'er whispered to Zhong Yue and asked, "Senior martial brother, who is this Feng Xiaozhong? Why is he sealed away?"

Zhong Yue sighed and answered, "He is the son of the headmaster, sealed away by headmaster himself."

Qiu Jin'er was shocked, she was puzzled, not knowing why would the wise and amiable headmaster sealed his own son why.

Old man, it must be very painful for you to seal away your own son, isn't it?

Zhong Yue thought,  Feng Xiaozhong was only this strong most probably because of the opening of the sixth wheel and the Six Reincarnation Path. What a genius he is!

"Feng Xiaozhong had committed an unforgivable crime, he even plundered the tombs of some of the gods listed in the Godlike Board, he also kidnapped some of the godly spirits, all done so to fulfill his researches."

Ao Shanshan glanced at Zhong Yue, she said, "If it wasn't the Swords Gate, he would be dead already. Even the most talented being in this world couldn't command the world to work as how he likes it as."

Zhong Yue nodded, Feng Xiaozhong has indeed crossed the line, not even the old man could protect him from the other races, sealing him away was the only way to save his life.

The trio walked over to the Warrior Board, there were more names on it, those that were listed were all magnates or magnate-to-be Qi Practitioners; there weren't many magnates in every generation.

For example, the Swords Gate only have three magnates ostensibly known to the world, the old man headmaster, Elder Feng Shouzhu and Elder Shui Zian; furthermore, Shui Zian was already 'dead', hence, there was only two left, and in addition to Feng Xiaozhong, there was a total of four magnates belonging to Swords Gate. While there was also three magnates in East Barren, but the monster race's true strength was unfathomable, no one knows whether if there were any other magnates kept away from the world such as Feng Xiaozhong.

Although the numbers of magnates in the races were very few, but fifty thousands of years were long enough to nurture countless magnates; the Warrior Board alone had already listed millions of names on it!

Fifty thousand years and millions of magnates?

Zhong Yue's scalp tingled in shock but he was puzzled at the same time, even if it was a full fifty thousand years, the total number of magnates in all of the races would not exceed anymore than over ten thousand.

"The Warrior Board will record the names of those Qi Practitioners with the potential to be the magnates, but it doesn't mean that all of them are magnates."

Ao Shanshan explained, "Half of those who have the potential to be magnates died in their cultivation progress; some of them turned lazy and stagnated; some met with an impregnable bottleneck in their cultivation progress; some trapped by love and relationships; some dragged down by their lack of abstruse cultivation techniques; some were tangled in their own life issues — any reasons at all could easily hinder the Qi Practitioners in the cultivation progress, obstructing us from unleashing our potential to the fullest. Only the most outstanding ones could persist until the end, it'd be very lucky if there is even ten percent of those in the list succeeded in becoming the magnates."

Zhong Yue nodded, only the best of the best could stand out, this was the harsh and yet truthful reality.

Having the potential to be a magnate was far from being enough, one would still have to stand out among his peers, only one of a hundred could be the magnates!

Zhong Yue glanced at the Warrior Board and he found a few familiar names; he knew nothing of the names of the previous Swords Gate headmasters, but there were images along with their names of the humans listed in the Warrior Board, most probably left behind by the human Qi Practitioners when they first entered the Lesser Void World.

There weren't many humans listed in the Warrior Board, not as much as the other races but their rankings were all higher than average.; especially the four young successors of Swords Gate, Feng Wuji, Fang Jiangge, Jun Sixie and Lei Hong were all listed in the top hundred, the innate spirit body holders were indeed, stronger and more talented than the others!

Feng Wuji is even higher in rankings than Fang Jiangge!

Zhong Yue was surprised, he then suddenly remembered,  Feng Wuji is indeed regarded higher than Fang Jiangge in the Swords Gate; he was the first to reach to the bottleneck and was going to break through to the level of True Spirit, but was interrupted by Lei Hong.

Other than these four innate spirit body holders, there were also some from Swords Gate but they were all not listed in the top hundred, including the current headmaster while Shui Zian was ranked at over six thousand.

Ao Fenglou was in the top hundred while although Lang Qingyun was around two hundred in rank, it was still a great achievement.

"The Warrior Board doesn't look at your prowess but your potential. Most of the experts listed on this board are already dead, after all, fifty thousand years, even the gods couldn't live that long."

Ao Shanshan said despondently, "Senior Martial Brother Feng Lou was here before, he lamented and said that he couldn't visit with the seniors that were listed in this board nor could he meet with the juniors that will be listed in the future; only their names and figures, but couldn't talk and exchange attainments with one another, this made him very sad."

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er felt the same, fifty thousand years was too long, even the glorious figure in the past couldn't defeat time and would eventually vanish in the passage of time.

The magnates could only lead for five hundred years and the gods for ten thousands, but then, what use would it do?

Fifty thousand years is too long for me, I'll just do whatever I can to the fullest!

Zhong Yue eradicated the despondent thought in his mind and exerted himself, he thought,  I'll fight for my race while I can, I'll stand against the thousands and millions of races that dared to suppress my fellow humans, I'll not ask whether if I can live for fifty thousand years — this is what a hero shall be like!

"There is so little humans on this board, no wonder the other races bullied us so much. Senior Martial Sister Ao, how can we enter the list?" Qiu Jin'er asked.

Before Ao Shanshan could answer, a stentorian voice suddenly rang in their ears, laughter rumbled like thunders above them, "Sword To The West! Little country bumpkin of the human race, Zhong Yue of the Zhong Shan Clan! I didn't think that I can see you here, Senior Martial Brother Zhong, Zhu Jushan is here, let us free the reins that restrained our prowess and have a battle!"

Zhong Yue looked over, there was a brawny little giant pushing away the Qi Practitioners before him, his actions enraged the cultivators but he remained insouciant, continuing his stride as he walked toward Zhong Yue.

Zhu Jushan?

Zhong Yue startled, he then remembered the little giant — when he was fighting his way out from the Lian Yun Mountain Ridges, he has met with a Zhu Jian Celestial Race Qi Practitioner, Zhu Jushan, who intercepted him and they had a duel; Zhu Jushan was defeated and escaped, he was also the only West Barren Awakening Qi Practitioner who survived under Zhong Yue's attack!

"Brother Jushan is also at the level of Atman Body already?" Zhong Yue greeted him politely.

The Lesser Void World have different layers, each layer having their own Lesser Void World City, the layer Zhong Yue and the others were in now was the layer for the Atman Body Qi Practitioners, which was why Zhong Yue asked.

Although Zhu Jushan's face was ferocious and dreadful, he was incredibly polite, he returned the formality and said, "After I was defeated by you, I conducted a reflection session and realized my weakness. After cultivating for a period of time, I've broken through to the Atman Body level. Senior Martial Brother Zhong must also be in the level of Atman Body, am I right? So, battling with you now wouldn't be considered as taking advantage of my higher cultivation level, it is a fair duel. Come, come, you and I shall have an arm to arm battle!"
