The boss immediately had someone buy one for Xiao Liong.
This list is available anywhere in the Shenwu Empire and is not expensive at all.
Xiao Liong left a piece of martial crystal as a tip and left the hotel afterward.
There was another way for the test makers to obtain results in the Shenwu Continent trial besides completing two permanent missions.
Leaving one's name on the Tempering List could improve one's results a little as this was the most prestigious list in Shenwu Continent for those under the Martial Emperor realm,
which means that it is a list for those who are not in the Explorer.
Xiao Liong was surprised, as the top names of the ranking list were rarely hidden. The second name on this list is Li Zimo,
and it was also noted that he was the commander of Ming Vanguard, which was a division of the Ming Police that massacred outsiders.
The fact that this person could become the commander of that division showed that he was extremely strong and he should be able to match the student leaders of the Astral Battle Academy.
With Xiao Liong's current strength, he reckoned that he should be able to reach the top eight on the list quite easily,
because there was someone among the followers of King Mu who was ranked eighth.
It was the expert he was wary of. What's his name again? Tang Si's?
The third on the Tempering List was Dai Zong, and the record stated that he was the commander of the Demon Hunters Society.
Xiao Liong laughed, as it seemed that this Tempering List was not the way for Crown Prince Ming Hao to gather a powerhouse, either,
and it was more of a means to display the strength of the Shenwu Empire.
The top name must have belonged to someone from the empire, and the next three were clearly the official powerhouses of the empire as well.
The existence of this list alone was an enormous mental blow to the surviving clan members who were almost annihilated a thousand years ago.
Xiao Liong headed west after leaving Taicang city. He wanted to go to Ming Island, which was the central zone of the Shenwu Empire.
All the trial participants would finally gather there.
Xiao Liong quickly moved by himself, while King Mu's entourage was much slower.
The caravan would remain in every city it passed by for two days, and with such a delay, Xiao Liong easily chased after their convoy in Bo City.
The troops cleared the way as many experts supervised the convoy. There is a form of open and covert protection, though,
as well as the strength of the Ming Zhaoshu level Explorers who would sweep in occasionally to intimidate anyone trying to cause trouble.
Xiao Liong put down his wine glass and watched the convoy pass by. By chance, though,
he looked at Ming Yan through the gauze curtain; his dazzling face could not be hidden.
The procession passed quickly. The next city was Shanhai City, which was the capital of Qiong Island. The Honorable King's Palace was within Shanhai City.
Xiao Liong put down the martial crystal as payment and reserved a room for a break that night.
The next day, he would head to Shanhai City as well.
At night, the sky of Shenwu Continent was pitch-black with only five sealing planets offering light in the sky.
They looked like giant pearls hanging above the continent as they emitted a faint light.
As he looked up at the sky, Xiao Liong suddenly recalled back to his days on Earth when he was living a peaceful life before the trial began.
At the same time, on the other side of Bo City, Ming Yan suddenly woke up from a dream.
He had a confused expression and flushed cheeks. He once again dreamed of that day when the two met in the bathroom.
That's so embarrassing! He looked up at the sky. His gaze was naturally bright and unstained without a trace of impurity. She's very pretty.
He looked at the night sky and then stared again until his gaze dimmed. Maybe they'll never see each other again!
He was a stranger whose name he did not even know, but he had barged into his heart in an unforgettable accident.
It was impossible for an ordinary girl to forget such a thing, but even more so for Ming Yan.
All his life, that man was the only person so close to him,
and it gave him an indescribable surprise. It was embarrassing, yet also new, and he was secretly complaining to himself.
Ming Zhaoshu also had a headache as his daughter Ming Yan protected Xiao Liong.
He could understand the kindness of his heart, but he was still young and did not know the repercussions this event had for his future.
This worried his entire life, and this matter was very likely to cause him great suffering.
Ming Zhaoshu had a cold glint in his eyes as he looked up at the sky.
If not for Ming Hao's subordinates purposely leaking news about the matter, the rumors would definitely not have spread as far as they had.
Under the pitch-black night, many looked up at the sky. Suddenly, signs of cracks connecting heaven and earth appeared before many figures came out, shocking Ming Zhaoshu.
A stranger?
At the city gate of Bo City, the heavenly world sphere rippled, causing signs of rejection to appear on the bodies of the people emerging from the spatial gaps.
Their bodies glowed with radiance that made them shine like a light bulb.
Countless screams sounded. “Alien! City seal! Let no one live! “
“Kill aliens!”
Regardless of whether they were imperial officials or unattached wandering cultivators, aliens were enemies to everyone from the Shenwu Continent.
Xiao Liong was very surprised. The group was too unlucky as they directly landed inside the city.
Somehow, their influx must have been influenced by the experts from the Shenwu Continent, though,
such was the entrance of Xiao Liong himself, and thus appeared in the city.
The explosion!
Loud explosions echoed through Bo City as fierce fighting erupted. Those who had joined the Outerverse trial were all extraordinary people;
the weakest of these newcomers were in the Limiteer realm, and one of them was even an Explorer.
Ming Zhaoshu was forced to act, considering he was the only Explorer in Bo City.
Deep in the sky, Ming Zhaoshu begins a fierce battle with the alien explorers.
Under them, many similar fights occurred as well. The whole city was woken up to face the intruders,
and since their bodies had been marked by the rejection of martial power, the examinees had nowhere to hide.
In the blink of an eye, two people were killed. One of them died no more than a kilometer away from Xiao Liong.
Suddenly, the heavenly world sphere at the city gate exploded. Xiao Liong was surprised, because someone had actually managed to hide from the detection of the heavenly world.
He took the third eye of the Giant Emperor and looked towards the city gate.
He indistinctly saw a familiar figure sweeping past the gate and rushing away from Bo City. Is that Han Chong?
The heavenly orb had been destroyed, and the remaining test-makers immediately hid themselves.
Only the Explorers were blocked by Ming Zhaoshu and left unable to escape.
Bang out!
The soldiers took out their shields to withstand the explosion.
“You natives are obviously looking for death by bravely blocking me,”
a loud voice shouted as a strange force pressed down.
Ming Zhaoshu was furious. “All foreigners must die!”
Xiao Liong stood beside the window and stared up. The explorer had used a battle technique that Xiao Liong had never seen before,
and it was also not a familiar energy. Ming Zhaoshu did not use any battle techniques. Instead, the,
he pushed forward with palm after palm as he brutally used martial power to strengthen his fighting strength in an unsophisticated manner.
Even the Explorer's battle technique could barely fend off the invading Ming Zhaoshu attack.
“How is this possible? Your palm technique is very simple! Why is this space indestructible? ”
The explorer was dumbfounded.
Ming Zhaoshu snorted, “It seems that you do not understand the Shenwu Continent at all. You are all muscular and have no brains.
“Time to die.”
“You are only a native!” The explorer shouted loudly while imposing all his strength.
Bang out!
Shock waves pulsed from the center of their battle, destroying over a hundred soldiers' shields.
A gigantic crack was torn on the ground as the shockwave continued to sweep through thousands of meters, destroying countless buildings in its path.
At the same time, on the five sealing planets high in the sky, a beam of light flashed.
Just then, the Explorer stopped moving as his body split into two before his fresh blood splattered onto the ground.
It was a shocking sight where the attacks from the stars wiped out an Explorer.
Xiao Liong raised his head to see where the five planets were.
The Shenwu Continent had gathered almost all of its experts in the five fields to defend itself from external forces.
The attack just now came from someone equivalent to a Cruiser or even a Hunter. That's too scary!
This test was extremely terrifying; countless dangers could emerge from above at any time, and even Explorers could perish without a fight.
Ming Zhaoshu raised his head and snorted once before descending.
Xiao Liong closed his window and took a deep breath.
He lay on his bed and quietly reminded himself to keep a humble and unexposed attitude.
The matter that happened tonight was only a distraction for the people of the Shenwu Continent and something that happened frequently.
The next day, the city troops expertly sealed off the battlefield and rescued the wounded.
It was all handled methodically, and the city master even personally thanked Ming Zhaoshu before sending them out of the city gate.
Xiao Liong left a few hours later. After the battle the night before, the city guards became even tighter.
Fortunately, Xiao Liong's stolen ID still allowed him to pass through security checks easily.
Was it Han Chong who destroyed the heavenly world last night? Xiao Liong suspected it was him because the silhouette was too familiar.
The top four of the Astral Combat Academy all participated in this experiment, so Starsibyl and Grandini Mavis were definitely here as well.
Xiao Liong did not know if they would meet on Ming Island, but he was looking forward to it.
Shanghai is the largest city on Qiong Island, and has a huge moat and hundreds of thousands of troops stationed inside.
There were countless experts, and it was rumored that more than ten experts from the Tempering List lived in this city.
The list consisted of 200 names, so for Shanghai City, ten of them were quite decent.
Xiao Liong had only been in the city for a while when he heard that King Mu's entourage was recruiting experts to
protect a tributary wagon caravan for their trip to the capital, Mingdu. He immediately made a decision and rushed towards the convoy.
The convoy was resting in the central region of Shanghai City, and it was not just housed in a single mansion, a single mansion, but,
it is a large property with a beautiful view. The river around King Mu's property is no narrower than the moat surrounding the city.
It occupied a large area, and it was rumored that the average person could not walk around it in a single day.
Emperor Shenwu Ming Zhaotian was celebrating his birthday, so King Mu naturally had to attend and congratulate him.
Therefore, the king had to ask experts for protection as well as the coachman to drive the cart.
Xiao Liong applied for the coachman position, as the requirements were not very high and the exam was not too strict either.
It would be troublesome if he joined as a protection expert and then had to meet Ming Zhaoshu.
“Son, do you know how to feed horses? Otherwise, go and do not waste my time, ”a man shouted at Xiao Liong.
This person was the chief coachman of the Mu King household. He's called Butler Seven. The responsibility of choosing a coachman fell into his hands.
Xiao Liong lowered his brows and looked at the horse in front of him. He really doesn't know how to feed them,
but he saw that Butler Seven quickly became even more unhappy.
He immediately shook his hand and dropped something onto the ground with a loud voice.
“Servant Seven, are these five lucky coins yours?” Xiao Liong pointed to the ground in surprise.
These coins were the common currency used in the Shenwu Empire.
Butler Seven greedily looked at the lucky five coins and took them.
She smiles. “It's mine, it's mine. Fortunately, you saw them. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if I lost them, haha! ”
Xiao Liong smiled apologetically. “It is an honor for Little Seven to be able to serve alongside Butler Seven.”
Butler Seven was stunned. You're called Little Seven?
“Yes, I am Lu Seven, but many call me Little Seven.”
The Butler Seven measured it from top to bottom, and then astonished,
“Lumayan, I think it's destiny. Alright, you don't have to feed the horse, but do you at least know how to drive the carriage? ”
“Ya, yes, yes, I am the best in that regard,” Xiao Liong immediately replied. Driving was too easy; he only needed to whip the animal if it was disobedient,
and he could even use martial power to forcefully control it as a last resort. Driving is easier than feeding a horse.
Bribing to get a job as a driver in exchange for a stack of lucky five coins was something that Xiao Liong thought was beneath him.
Still, fortunately he managed to infiltrate Prince Mu's caravan. All he needed to do now was follow the caravan to Mingdu.
However, a driver had an extremely challenging profession, or at least, that was how Xiao Liong saw it.
