C395 Wu Hou List

The Golden Crown was a great nation of the South Ridge Land. Within the Golden Crown, there was a ranking board that people were most familiar with, the Martial Marquis List.

There were a total of seventy-two spots on the Martial Marquis List. Every single expert capable of entering the Martial Marquis List must have a profound strength cultivation, and their age must not exceed a hundred years old.

In the cultivation world, people who were not over a hundred years old could basically be considered young. Being able to advance in Martial Marquis List signified talent and strength.

Therefore, every single warrior in the Golden Crown wanted to advance into the Martial Marquis List.

Of course, there were also some hidden warriors who were unable to advance to the Martial Marquis List due to their age, but their strength was not weaker than the Martial Marquis Ranking Cultivator at all.

Ever since the Divine Illusion dimension was closed, the Golden Crown was in chaos for over a year. A few days ago, it finally settled down.

After the internal strife and peace, the Golden Crown's royal family finally began to strongly rope in the experts from the various sects.

On a certain day, the Golden Crown Royal Family released a statement. A month later, they would hold a nationwide The War for the Martial Marquis List.

The first method is to challenge the Martial Marquis Ranking Cultivator. If you defeat or even kill the other party, you will be able to occupy the opponent's previous position.

This was the most common and widely accepted method.

As for the second method, it would be the The War for the Martial Marquis List that the Imperial Family did not have a date for. The reason the Imperial Family created the Martial Marquis List was to elect the strongest person in the entire Golden Crown.

As such, the The War for the Martial Marquis List s didn't have much time, they could hold it whenever the royal family wanted it to.

The last time the The War for the Martial Marquis List was held was twenty years ago. Thus, some of the experts on the Martial Marquis List had already occupied the top of the list for more than twenty years.

This time, just as the royal family made a declaration, countless martial artists went wild.

Although they did not have the qualifications to participate in the The War for the Martial Marquis List s, they could watch the battle between so many top-notch Rankers.

As soon as the news about the The War for the Martial Marquis List was spread, it caused a huge uproar. Countless warriors were discussing about it.

With regards to the The War for the Martial Marquis List after a month, the Imperial Family also attached great importance to it. Together with a few 2-Star Sect s, they built a large martial arts training ground on a wasteland outside the imperial city.

Xiahou Wu and Jian Feng who were inside Baimei Sword Sect were extremely excited. Their strengths had long since reached the peak of the Qi Hai realm, and after some effort, they believed themselves to have the strength to reach the level of Martial Marquis List.

Therefore, when they heard this news, they were extremely excited.

"Unfortunately, Junior Brother Fang Chen is not the same as before. Otherwise, he would have definitely gotten a good rank." Xiahou Wu said regretfully.

"Maybe Junior Brother Fang Chen will appear after a month?" The edge of the sword said.

Just like this, a month's time passed amidst the cheers and cheers of the crowd. The The War for the Martial Marquis List was finally about to begin.

In this one month's time, the number of warriors in the imperial city had increased dramatically. Countless warriors had travelled through the night just to come to the imperial city to see the The War for the Martial Marquis List.

On the day that the The War for the Martial Marquis List was opened, the older generation of Martial Marquis Ranking Cultivator s all appeared.

As for the five people of Phantom Yin Martial Marquis, no one cared about them at all.

"Haha, there's so many people." Xiahou Wu stood together with his sword tip in the middle of the crowd and laughed out loud.

As the [Condensing Reality Realm], the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Son naturally sat together with the king of the imperial family. And on the entire plain, there was a sea of people.

After countless selections, the Imperial Family determined the final number of participants. Adding the Martial Marquis Ranking Cultivator of the older generation, there were a total of five hundred people participating.

With more than five hundred people competing for the seventy-two spots, one could imagine how difficult it was.

"King, the time has come. Do you want to begin?" The referee walked up to the king and respectfully said.

"Let's begin." The king nodded and said.

Following that, the judge announced the news and the The War for the Martial Marquis List began.

More than five hundred martial artists would fight in pairs. The loser would be eliminated immediately, and the winner would move on to the next round.

In the first round, practically all of the Martial Marquis Ranking Cultivator s of the older generation won, and Xiahou Wu had even won against Jian Feng.

While the many warriors of the Golden Crown were celebrating, as the Heavenly Sword Son, Fang Chen was cultivating in the space of the sword.

Hiss, hiss, hiss …

An extremely wild aura emerged from Fang Chen's body, it was suffused with sword intent, and the Star-Hidden Sword in his hands continued to emit sword hums.

Suddenly, Fang Chen opened his eyes, the Star-Hidden Sword in his hands shot out a ray of sword aura that directly slashed onto the ground.

Ka-cha …

A huge crater appeared on the ground and when Fang Chen saw this scene, he slowly withdrew his Star-Hidden Sword and stood up from the praying mat.

"After two months of cultivation, my cultivation has improved by a lot." Fang Chen grinned.

The sword intent here was simply too abundant. Furthermore, comprehending the Dao of the Sword here was twice the result with half the effort. The ancestor who built this space back then was definitely a remarkable expert.

In two months, Fang Chen's Water-Fire Sword Art had reached the tenth level, and its power was extremely strong.

"Right now, my strength should be on par with the forty odd Martial Marquis List practitioners." Fang Chen slightly said.

Just as Fang Chen was speaking, suddenly, his golden heart started trembling, the speed at which it was trembling was even faster than before.

After Fang Chen became aware of this point, he kept placing spirit stones into the golden heart.

After that, Fang Chen sat cross-legged on the prayer mat and continued cultivating.

Time slowly passed, the speed at which the golden heart swallowed the spirit stones surprised Fang Chen.

A day's worth of four swords and a golden heart had swallowed fifty thousand pieces of High-grade Spirit Stone. This was an unprecedented event.

However, it was a good thing that Fang Chen had a lot of High-grade Spirit Stone, which was enough for his heart to swallow.

After devouring it for a full ten days, he had swallowed about a million pieces of High-grade Spirit Stone and his golden heart had finally fallen into a deep sleep. Traces of golden light were being emitted from the golden heart.

"It's transforming." Fang Chen said in his heart.

In the outside world, on the plains outside the imperial city, the Martial Marquis Competition had already been going on for ten days. It was estimated that it would take at least a month before it was over.

In ten days, many martial artists had been eliminated. The remaining martial artists were the elite of the elite.

After another twenty days, the The War for the Martial Marquis List had finally reached the final stage. The rankings later on had basically been decided.

The first time Xiahou Wu had stepped into Martial Marquis List, he had obtained fifty-third place, while Jian Feng had obtained fifty-ninth place.

Seeing the two disciples entering the Martial Marquis List, Heavenly Sword Zi could not help but grin from ear to ear.

What was currently being held was the ranking of the top three.

"Now, let the rankings of the top three officially begin." In his heart, he too was extremely excited.

Top three, Duke of Soaring Dragon, Black Armored Marquis, Tengfei marquis.

These three people, were the top three in Martial Marquis List from the previous tournament. The strength of these three people, was extremely tyrannical.

"The three of them are too powerful. No one can shake their position."

"That's right, especially in the Duke of Soaring Dragon. He's so strong, I heard that he's able to fight against warriors of the First Level of Condensing Reality Realm head on."

"Looks like, this time, Duke of Soaring Dragon should also be ranked first in the top three. Although Black Armored Marquis and Tengfei marquis are powerful, they are unable to shake the position of Duke of Soaring Dragon."

On the plains, many of the warriors revealed excited smiles. A battle between three Martial Lords was definitely the most intense and exciting battle.

Just as the three were about to fight, the King of Golden Crown suddenly stood up, and said: "I did not tell everyone before, that the Marquis who took the top three positions in the Martial Marquis List will represent us and enter the South Ridge Land."

Hearing the king's words, the crowd burst into an uproar. This news was too sudden.

"Enter the South Ridge Land?"

"Oh my god, this time the top three are actually able to enter the South Ridge Land, and represent the Golden Crown in entering the South Ridge Land. It's truly great."

"What a pity, we are unable to fight for it."

The Golden Crown was only one of the great powers of the South Ridge Land. The South Ridge Land was extremely huge, and it was unknown how much bigger it was compared to the Golden Crown.

And outside of South Ridge Land, there was an even wider stage. If one wanted to step onto the stage, they had to first leave the Golden Crown and enter the South Ridge Land.

Hearing this, Duke of Soaring Dragon and the other two also grinned.

They were very strong, even if it was himself who entered the South Ridge Land, he could still do it. However, with the many strong warriors in the South Ridge Land, although they were strong in the Golden Crown, it did not mean they were strong in the South Ridge Land.

If one were to enter the South Ridge Land for the first time, they would certainly encounter many difficulties, and could not compare to the disciples of the large sects in the Nanling.

Furthermore, representing the Golden Crown s to enter the South Ridge Land meant that they could directly join some of the large sects in the South Ridge Land.

This way, they wouldn't have to worry about their resources. It would be easier to cultivate them.

"It looks like the three of us are about to enter the South Ridge Land." Duke of Soaring Dragon grinned.

"Before entering the South Ridge Land, let's decide the victor first." Black Armored Marquis said.

"Alright, let's decide who wins." Tengfei marquis said.

After the three of them decided by consensus, in the end, Black Armored Marquis and Tengfei marquis decided to fight first.

"Black Armored Marquis, I will definitely win against you, and then, I will challenge Duke of Soaring Dragon." The Tengfei marquis said coldly.

"That will depend on your ability." The Black Armored Marquis laughed.

Crash …

When the two peak-level Martial Lords fought, the stage was immediately filled with extremely dense spiritual energy.

On the plains, countless warriors were retreating. The attacks of the two Martial Lords were too powerful, but they could not withstand the force emitted from the battle.

"Too powerful. Is this the battle between the top Martial Lords?" A warrior exclaimed.

The two Martial Lords seemed to be attacking casually, but each strike contained a boundless fighting strength.

Duke of Soaring Dragon looked at the two of them and said softly, "Looks like Black Armored Marquis is still better off."

Duke of Soaring Dragon had incredible eyesight, he was able to see the difference between the two of them with a single glance.

Sure enough, after a fierce battle, Black Armored Marquis threw out a punch.

Bang

Tengfei marquis's body flew out and crashed into the ground, landing right at Xiahou Wu's feet.

Ah …

Tengfei marquis was furious, he was unwilling, he was just a bit away from defeating Black Armored Marquis, but he was still hit in the end.

"Scram …"

Tengfei marquis was not happy to lose the competition, seeing the many warriors around looking at him, he was enraged, he immediately flung his sleeves, the majestic Qi directly struck the warriors around.

Because Xiahou Wu was the closest to him, Xiahou Wu suffered the most serious injuries.

"Xiahou." Jian Feng exclaimed.
