Chapter 520
Chapter 520: Chapter 520: List of Outstanding Talents_1 Chapter 520: Chapter 520: List of Outstanding Talents_1 “Good, I’ve been wanting to give you a beating for a long time,” Qin Jiumo said, not the least afraid, as he readily rubbed his hands together, eager to fight.
Qin Jiumo’s temper was quite explosive, and he excelled at lightning-based martial arts techniques, earning him the nickname Thunder Devil; his way of speaking and acting was extraordinarily decisive and swift.
Jiang Taikuang, known by the moniker Kuang Wo Kuang Tian, was even more of a madman, the kind who fought with a reckless disregard for life.
Therefore, when these two met, it was undoubtedly a case of tinder meeting flame, igniting instantly.
“Both of you, if you’re going to fight, wait until the meeting is over,”
on the television screen, a Chief Steward with a thick beard scowled impatiently.
Seeing this, Li Fuqiang and Ye Duanchang had no choice but to pull the two apart and gently persuade them.
Content that things were back on track, Li Fuqiang continued, “I assume everyone is aware of Xu Fan’s identity by now.
He is a member of the Xu Family, and his father was none other than Xu Tianlong, who was unjustly killed back then.
Xu Tianlong was once a mighty general in our Flame Dragon Organization; therefore, like father, like son.
Xu Tianlong carried out his duties with integrity and boundless righteousness, and his descendants would surely not turn out to be vile and cunning.
Hence, my stance remains; we should foster a good relationship with Xu Fan.
I believe that with Protector Xu’s talent, it won’t take many years for him to grow to heights that will have us all looking up to him.
At that time, it will be a significant reinforcement for our Flame Dragon.”

“Moreover, I feel it necessary to add one point,” Li Fuqiang said with a chuckle upon seeing Ye Duanchang’s displeased face: “Not only is Protector Xu extremely powerful in his own right, but he also possesses a secret method capable of massively producing Ancient Martial Artists.ɴονǤ0.сᴑ
If he agrees to help us, I believe the number of basic members in the Flame Dragon will see an enormous increase.
One day, we might even have our people in second and third-tier cities, which would naturally result in a more stable society.”
“Also, I need to remind everyone about the six Superior Martial Skills that were recently added to our treasury.
I bet everyone’s been itching for them, and some people have probably already exchanged for them.
We mustn’t forget those who dug the well for us to drink water.
Without Protector Xu offering them to the organization, none of us would have this fortune.
Wait until the Dragon Head and the Elders come out of seclusion and see these martial arts techniques; I believe they too will be filled with joy.”
After listening to Li Fuqiang’s reasoning, the Chief Stewards fell into contemplation.
Indeed, his words were logical and irrefutable.
Even Ye Duanchang, who had always opposed Li Fuqiang both openly and covertly, set aside his prejudice against Li Fuqiang and began to seriously consider his attitude toward Xu Fan.
First and foremost, Xu Fan’s individual strength and bravery mattered, but they only benefited Xu Fan himself, not the organization, and even less so for Ye Duanchang.
After all, Xu Fan was friendly with Li Fuqiang, and an enemy’s friend is naturally an enemy as well.
However, Xu Fan’s ability to create Ancient Martial Artists in large quantities was of tremendous importance, and Ye Duanchang had a vested interest in it, making it impossible not to consider.
And as for those Superior Martial Skills, how could they possibly ignore them and leave them untouched in the treasury?
They had accumulated enough Merit Points over the years to exchange for one or even several books, so they hurried to make exchanges as soon as they were available.
Even the four Chief Stewards guarding the frontiers had traveled thousands of miles nonstop to come and see for themselves.
There’s a saying, “One’s hands are tied after accepting another’s generosity.” Upon introspection, they concluded that it would indeed be ungracious to continue troubling Xu Fan.
Thus, before long, the eight Chief Stewards came to a consensus; they decided to prioritize and build a good relationship with Xu Fan, meeting his demands as much as possible within the rules.
Of course, there would be restrictions as well.
…
That night, the Ancient Martial World experienced a massive upheaval.
Xu Wufang’s name spread far and wide, becoming known among all martial families and sects.
Barely twenty-five years old, he had already reached the pinnacle of a Grandmaster, and his strength was terrifyingly formidable.
With a single sword strike, he vanquished the Black Blade Organization’s Qiankun Twin Swords, endured a battle with Heavenly Venerable strongman Qin Wudao, and ultimately refined him.
These deeds, not just breathtaking, are simply miraculous.
In the Ancient Martial World, whether in the far south or the distant north, all martial artists found them inconceivable.
Many people searched online for news about that night in Zhonghai, but due to special orders from the Flame Dragon Organization, they found not a single clue.
Thus, everyone could only let their imaginations run wild regarding the actual scene.
As the Ancient Martial World buzzed excitedly, another explosive piece of news soon captured everyone’s attention.
At midnight sharp, the List of Young Elites suddenly updated, less than three months since the last update.
The List of Young Elites ranks the strength of young martial artists in Yan Country, allowing only those under thirty-five years of age to be listed, and the slots were strictly limited to a mere 100 people.
It’s said that the history of the List of Young Elites spans several hundred years, although no one knows exactly who created it.
But as of today, the list has immense credibility and has become the benchmark for measuring top young ancient martial artists, possessing great authority.
With Yan Country’s vast territory, abundant resources, and large population, the number of ancient martial artists is also quite formidable.
Therefore, those who made it onto the list were all exceptionally brilliant and talented.
As long as they did not die young, their future achievements would be boundless.
Because of this, once someone made the list, various ancient martial forces would extend their olive branches to recruit them.
Typically, the list was updated once a year, on the May Day holiday.
Of course, if there was a particularly dazzling new star in the Ancient Martial World, which caused a significant reshuffling in the List of Young Elites, it would be promptly updated—like a system patch.
But such scenarios were exceptionally rare.
This time, the List of Young Elites experienced such an event, which was quite shocking and piqued the curiosity of countless people.
“List of Young Elites—
…

His battle achievements are very dazzling, successively slaying Huang Yechun of the Black Blade Organization with late-stage Grandmaster cultivation transformed, the pure Grandmaster-level Bao Yuan, the top Martial King prowess of Qiankun Twin Swords who specialized in combined attack techniques, and breaking into the Qin Family manor to capture Lei Fei with King-level cultivation in a matter of seconds, followed by a fierce battle with Patriarch Qin who was already a Heavenly Venerable warrior, ultimately refining him.
In short, his combat power reaches the heavens, and his skills are close to that of a demon.

She is beautiful and possesses the grace of the moon, an absolute vision of beauty, and is suspected to hold King-level cultivation.
Born with the physique of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, her talent is extremely demonic, said to appear only once in four thousand years.
To date, no one has seen her make a move.
But half a year ago, she was seen running through the air over a hundred meters on a high mountain.
Ranked number 2, Li Tianfan of the Shushan Sword Faction, 29 years old, King-level cultivation.
A natural martial arts maniac, a cultivation fanatic, he roamed the Ancient Martial World since his younger days.

Before the age of twenty-six, Li Tianfan mostly faced defeat, but subsequently, he won all his battles, defeating many martial arts veterans, with strength far surpassing his peers.

Afterwards, he returned to his Sect for a two-year seclusion.
