Dominating Martial King

Chapter 1817 - 596: Heavenly List 1

Their Flag Leader, undoubtedly, is a peerless hero!He not only resolved a catastrophe for the Divine Continent but also, with just himself and a saber, forced all the gods to bow.

They are fortunate to follow such a hero and establish illustrious achievements; it is an unparalleled honor!

At that moment, another commotion was heard outside the Headquarters.

"The ’Debating Martial Arts’ and ’Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual’ from the Debating Martial Arts Tower have been released! The Debating Martial Arts Tower across from the Headquarters, the Tianji Pavilion, is packed with people, almost squeezing out oil."

"Damn! Can someone cover for my shift? I want to know the ranking of the Lord of Banner on the Heavenly List!"

"It must be first, if not the Flag Leader, then the Flag Master’s wife!"

In the inner hall of the Council Chamber, Jian Cangfeng had already received the latest issues of ’Debating Martial Arts’ and ’Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual.’

He looked at these freshly scented books in his hands and chuckled lightly.

"It has to be you! Sharp and domineering, yet cutting through all obstacles in your way."

Jian Cangfeng shook his head, sighing endlessly.

He could never understand, why did Chu Xisheng, who was clearly much smarter than him, have such an approach to life entirely opposite to his?

Yet, he always had smooth sailing, never capsizing his boat.

Jian Cangfeng’s expression quickly turned serious: "Send a message! The Flag Leader will return in three days. Apart from General Shui’s division guarding the north of the Tianhuai River, all other Fourth Grade and above generals, as well as officials above the county magistrate must head to Xiushui County to pay respects to the Flag Leader. Also, summon the heads of influential families owning more than ten thousand acres from all regions to Xiushui for land registration, no delays tolerated!"

A cold gleam appeared in his eyes.

After today, those crooks and mischievous folk under their jurisdiction should behave.

This means it’s time to settle accounts.

Sitting on the other side of Jian Cangfeng was Lu Luanti, with different thoughts.

"This guy, he’s finally back safely—"

Lu Luanti relaxed greatly, a hint of a smile appearing on her lips.

But then she remembered the matter of Chu Xisheng establishing a regime, and her expression slightly tensed.

As Chu Xisheng becomes the Emperor, or a king of a state, he will certainly have his own Empress or Queen, won’t he?

Where would she, Lu Luanti, stand then?

Meanwhile, in a corner of the hall,

Chu Ming stood in the shadows beyond everyone’s sight, staring vacantly at the dazzling scenery outside bathed in sunlight.

—Her master was about to return.

Yet, Chu Ming had no desire to see him.

She felt a deep sadness in her heart.

Falling into an enemy’s hands, life and death out of one’s control, was undoubtedly a great misfortune.

※※※※

At the same time, Chu Xisheng was also holding the latest ’Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual’ published by the Tianji Pavilion, looking at the Heavenly List ranking with a peculiar expression.

First on the Heavenly List — ’Two Suns Cannot Be in the Sky, Unsurpassed Throughout the Ages’ Chu Xisheng.

Second on the Heavenly List — ’Dominating the Ages, Green-eyed Military Governor’ Chu Yunyun.

Third on the Heavenly List — ’Art of River and Mountain’ Yu Kunlun.

Since Grandmaster Dugu Shou had been confirmed to be promoted to Super-grade, he did not appear on the Heavenly List this time.

However, the ranking wasn’t quite accurate.

Just a day ago, ’First on the Heavenly List’ Chu Xisheng had been beaten up by ’Second on the Heavenly List’ Chu Yunyun, ending up bruised and battered, very miserably.

Causing Chu Xisheng to hide in his Sky Wave Residence all day, not daring to show himself.

How shameful this was!

The contemporary Human Emperor who just trampled the prestige of the gods and annihilated the Daluo Ant Clan, got beaten black and blue.

Chu Xisheng turned the pages, reading the commentary on him, finding that ’Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual’ was quite fair in its evaluation.

’Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual’ considered his personal strength to be somewhat inferior to Chu Yunyun.

At best, they were evenly matched.

The reason ’Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual’ ranked him first was due to the ’Divine Intent Touch Death Blade’ and his exaggerated war record.

With a single slash, he suppressed the Daluo Divine Ant, leading the ants northward and nearly severing the Creation Divine Tree, later forcing the gods to personally intervene and annihilate twelve million Daluo Ant Clan entirely.

Additionally, Chu Xisheng had an incredibly powerful Escape Skill, not only of divine speed but also highly adaptable and unpredictable.

Even if he couldn’t win, he could escape.

This time, Chu Xisheng escaped right under the gods’ noses, stepping on their dignity before retreating unscathed.

’Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual’ predicted very few opportunities for him to face Chu Xisheng one-on-one, and in case of combat, it would certainly be to his advantage, hence placing Chu Xisheng at the top of the Heavenly List.

Chu Xisheng was very pleased.

The commentary article was written by Elder Tianji himself, who was insightful and thorough.

Although the problem was, in some cases, there was no escape.

Chu Xisheng put down the ’Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual’, turning his gaze to the vast sea of clouds outside, feeling a surge of inexplicable emotion.

Unknowingly, he had already reached the top!

—The top of the mortals, number one on the Heavenly List!

This was his first dream after entering this world.

Becoming number one on the Heavenly List in this world should enable him and Chu Yunyun to escape the crisis of death and live peacefully.

But now, having achieved it, Chu Xisheng didn’t feel much satisfaction.

He first looked down below, then lifted his gaze to the sky.

Blood-colored pupils appeared in Chu Xisheng’s eyes, as his eyesight pierced through the nine realms of clouds.

He let out a chuckle, closed his eyes, and continued studying Martial Arts.
