Chapter 209 – The Black Dragon Listing (2/2)

“And that would be?” Ye Wei’s confused eyes followed the caretaker’s finger, the crafted dragon did not look anything more than a decoration to him.

“That, my friend, is the black dragon listing, out of the thirty thousand residents, only one thousand of our names are on the statue.” Baili Hengtian looked up with respect and respect and envy. “And needless to say, they fought hard to earn the privilege.”

The caretaker was a gifted cultivator, he had been a resident of the palace for three years since he was seventeen, but his name had not once been on the statue. All the cultivators who have their names on the list were at the weakest a three-star returned prime Warrior, a two-star returned prime Warrior at the age of twenty, he was the most respected person in his home region but only considered mediocre here in the palace.

“One thousand places huh?” Ye Wei’s brows rose as he smiled, he wanted to be friendly and showed the caretaker his cultivation level.

“Haha! I know what you are thinking, and my advice is don’t do it. You will simultaneously get hurt and humiliated.” Baili Hengtian burst into laughters. “Have you ever been in a fight and how old are you? Fifteen? Sixteen? You will have to be at least a four-star returned prime Warrior if you want a chance to squeeze yourself into the list!”

In his three years living in the palace, he had never dared challenging a lister once.

“Tell me if I am wrong, you are at ten-star condensed prime level correct?” He wore a mocking smile and continued. “You are good, among newbies maybe. Just learn your place and try in five years or something, you don’t need these veterans’ approval, you will get your supplies and resources from the Helians either way.”

“Alright, that’s it. I’ve told you too much already. Like I say, I will call you up when for the induction and the newcomer fights.” Baili Hengtian waved and bade farewell.

‘Four-star returned prime level? Doesn’t sound unachievable.’ Ye Wei smiled, waved back as he thought. ‘I already have the body strength of a three-star returned prime Warrior before even using Supernova stance.’

“When I was still an eight-star condensed prime Warrior, I did beat Lu Qianhuan. The iron talisman helped but he was a reckless three-star returned prime Warrior.” Ye Wei muttered to himself. “My light clone is far stronger now too…”

He calculated and calculated, figured out it was not impossible to get himself in the black dragon listing.

“I can’t live like this. I have to figure out how to challenge the listing sooner rather than later!” Ye Wei walked around the villa and shook his head. Found a clean patcch of grass to sit on outside the building. He sat down, focused himself and began to cultivate.

In just two hours, Baili Hengtian made his return to summon Ye Wei, the young Runemaster joined the group of newcomers and soon arrived at the main square.

All one hundred and thirty-seven newcomers lined up on the stone tiles, all of them curious and looking around nervously.

“Ye Wei!? You are here too?” A familiar voice rang in the young Runemaster’s ears.

It had been a while since their last encounter, but Jian Chen’s babyface did not change a bit. He was wearing the same white outfit and his handsome face was still making the girls blush.

Jian Chen was keeping his cool, kept a distance from the other newcomers instead of making connections like everyone else was trying to do.

“I didn’t expect to see you here!” Ye Wei was delighted to see a face he knew, walked up and greeted. Although his facial features were not as symmetrical as Jian Chen, his sleek body and masculine charm was also attracting attention.

“I will not lose to you here!” Jian Chen’s eyes lit up, wished to redeem himself from his defeat at the regional tournament.

“Ha, one of us has to be wrong.” Ye Wei smiled to his rival, his friend in cultivation; Jian Chen had been one of his motivations, what pressured him to train harder when he was feeling low and tired.

“So do you know who is the strongest among us newcomers?” Ye Wei scanned across and asked his old friend.

“I have not fought any of them so I can not answer that accurately. Though I have seen a few of them making a fuss over the living conditions and they were pretty strong judging by the mess they made.” Jian Chen answered calmly.

“I see.” Ye Wei nodded, not surprised that others were also unsatisfied with the living arrangement. “They were probably used to the privileges they had back home.”
