Chapter 84: Three Thousand Heroes Gather

  The next day, according to the notice from the sect, Zhang Shan arrived at the large square outside the mountain gate.

  Here have gathered many disciples who set out for the setting sun wilderness.

  From a distance, Fang Yiru and Ling Yuwei were standing on one side of the square, whispering to each other.

  "Zhang Shidi, you've arrived, why are you so late."

  Seeing Zhang Shan arrive, Ling Yuwei smiled and scolded him.

  "It's not departing in half an hour yet, I thought I came too early."

  Zhang Shan looked around and said, at this time there were already no less than a thousand people gathered in the square.

  "This is your Spider Silk Inner Armor, and that sword of yours. This jade bottle contains six Yin Yang Rebirth Pills."

  Ling Yuwei said as she handed over a few things.

  "Six are too many? I only need two, you can keep the rest for yourself, Master." Zhang Shan hurriedly declined.

  "Take it if you want it. Nan Shifu has refined twelve pellets in one furnace, exactly half for each of us. If you're going to be polite with me, I'll turn my back on you."

  Ling Yuwei said with a scowl every morning, and even clenched her small fist.

  Zhang Shan smiled and put away the jade bottle, then took out the newly refined Qinghong Sword to examine it closely.

  The feeling of the sword's aura is more restrained, and after putting in a bit of true yuan to test it out, he couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied.

  At this time, the Qinghong Sword had already refined 27 layers of forbidden techniques, and its power had increased several times compared to before.

  Each time a Spirit Vessel's seal is lifted, its power increases accordingly, and every nine seals, there is a major breakthrough.

  The previous Qinghong Sword had only nine levels of restriction, which was the most basic spiritual instrument. Now it has twenty-seven levels of restriction, equivalent to a two-grade upgrade, and the improvement compared to before is not just a little bit.

  "With the current Qinghong Sword, unleashing the Da Jiemie sword style, who knows what level of power it will reach?"

  Zhang Shan secretly estimated in his heart and planned to find an opportunity to try it out.

  He put away his sword and picked up the inner armor to examine it again.

  The silken threads refined into an inner shell, the tentacles are light and soft, with a weightless touch, and there is a faint glow flashing on it.

  "This spider silk is exceptionally tough, with twenty-seven layers of forbidden techniques infused within. It's impervious to swords and fire, and even when Xiaowei and I slashed at it with our swords, its defensive power was astonishing."

  "And besides, it's extremely comfortable to wear close to the skin, as if there's nothing there at all."

  "That's quite right, you're all already wearing them on your bodies?"

  Zhang Shan put away the inner armor and unconsciously swept his eyes over the two women, asking casually.

  After finishing speaking, he immediately came to his senses and secretly thought it was going to be a disaster.

  As expected, Fang Yiru's face turned red with anger and she said, "Don't be thinking nonsense."

  "Oh, Fang Shidi, I've figured it out, you're indeed not honest." Ling Yuwei also stared at him with blinking eyes.

  "I was just kidding, I swear, I didn't mean anything by it."

  Zhang Shan couldn't help but want to slap himself, what he said earlier was really unthoughtful, wasn't that just being reckless with his words?

  In his past life, he might have joked with the two sisters without any harm, but here, one careless remark could lead to misunderstandings, although he truly didn't mean to flirt with the two beautiful female senior disciples.

  After a good scolding and an apology with explanation, the two women finally believed it was an unintentional mistake.

  At this time, the square was in an uproar. The three of them turned their heads to look, and saw a person with his hands behind his back, displaying his agility as he flew through the air and landed elegantly in the middle of the square, causing many disciples to exclaim in surprise.

  Zhang Shan's eyebrows rose as he recognized the person who had come as Wei Yuezhou, Bai Gongfeng's chief true disciple.

  At the Five Peaks selection, Wei Yuezhou was unwilling to pay too high a price for Zhang Shan and gave up recruiting him into Bai Gang Peak, almost allowing Zhang Shan to be taken in by Chi Yangfeng with malicious intentions.

  If it weren't for Fang Yiru's help, Zhang Shan would have been taken in by Nan Ruoli and his current situation would be unbearable.

  So for Wei Yuexiu, Zhang Shan still has some reservations.

  At this time, seeing him make his entrance in such a stinky manner, Zhang Shan was extremely displeased.

  "You know, the latest group hero ranking has been released, and Wei Shixiong is already on it, currently ranked 2800."

  "I've also heard that Wei Shixiong is the strongest among the true disciples of Wufeng, and it's only a matter of time before he enters the Upper Group's Honor Roll. Moreover, it's highly likely that he'll become one of the sect's secret disciples in the future."

  A group of people nearby began to discuss and praise with envy.

  The Wutian Sect's Five Peaks and Five Veins each have a maximum of twelve true disciples, with the total number for all five peaks being sixty at most.

  Fang Yiru and Zhang Shan were also among this group of people, but in terms of realm, Zhang Shan's strength should be at the bottom.

  "Sister Shī, what is the Group Hero List? Is it a ranking list of the sect's strength?"

  Zhang Shan noticed that the group's discussion mentioned a list of outstanding people, so he asked Fang Yiru about it.

  "The Qunying List is a sub-list of the Wanxiang List, which ranks the strength of martial artists below the Martial Saint. It ranks them according to their comprehensive strength, including their innate potential."

  When he asked, Fang Yiru opened her mouth to explain.

  "Besides the Group Hero List, there is also the Xuanji List for ranking martial saints and the Wanfa List for ranking skills and techniques." Ling Yuwei added.

  The list of the Heroes' List, which is publicly announced, includes information on the top 3,000 warriors and is announced every half year. This time, a new list was announced, and Wei Yuexiu entered the top 3,000.

  Fang Yiru said, with a strange look flashing in her eyes.

  Zhang Shan noticed the change in her gaze and felt very displeased: "It's just 2,800 places, being ranked last isn't a big deal."

  Fang Yiru looked at him with a disgruntled expression and burst out laughing.

  "On the mainland, there are many sects, and among the major sects, there are countless strong practitioners. Those ranked at the top of the Hero Rankings are all martial artists in the Xuanwu Realm, while those in the Zhenwu Realm are generally ranked behind them."

  Moreover, the talented young heroes of each sect are as numerous as the fish in the river, and Wei Yuexu can squeeze into the top three thousand of the Group Hero List, which is already considered not bad. I still have a long way to go before I can get on the list, so I need to work harder.

  "So Shifu also has a competitive heart, I thought Shifu didn't care about these vain titles."

  Zhang Shan's mind was greatly settled. It turned out that the change in Fang Yiru's eyes just now was because of this, and he had thought she admired Wei Yuezhou.

  "I, Qingmu Feng, have been weak for a long time. My master has always expected the disciples in the peak to rise up, and I certainly cannot disappoint my master. Moreover, among the peers in the peak, no one can get on the list of outstanding talents, and my master's face will also lose its prestige."

  She let out a light sigh, then rallied her spirits and said: "So everyone must work hard to make progress, especially you Zhangshan, your natural talent, temperament, and wisdom are all top-notch, I have high hopes for you."

  With high hopes from his beautiful senior sister, Zhang Shan touched his nose, and although he secretly felt happy in his heart, he deeply felt that the pressure was not ordinary.

  "Sister Shī, Wèi Yuèzhōu is coming over here."

  Ling Yuwei suddenly lightly touched Fang Yiru's arm and whispered.
