Chapter 955 - 955 201 What Lies Ahead

955: Chapter 201: What Lies Ahead 955: Chapter 201: What Lies Ahead A voice suddenly rang out within the city, “Jiang Qingyang!Where are you going?”

Before Jiang Wang could express his surprise at someone suddenly recognizing him,

another voice shouted, “Your name has reached the Sea Hero Chart, first place on this month’s secondary chart!”

Looking for the source of the voice, Jiang Wang saw a crowd gathered in front of a posted list.

With his good vantage point, he could clearly see the list—it was a subsection of the Sea Hero Chart.

However, this subsection was different from any that Jiang Wang had seen before; instead of detailing the combat data of each cultivator, it displayed the actual ranking.

It was the Sea Honor List.

The entire list was very simple, yet extremely eye-catching.

There were two rankings, known as the main chart and the secondary chart.

They corresponded to the power levels of those with God-Comes Power and those from the Outer Building, respectively.

It seems that the True Men of the Age and those above shouldn’t be the subject of public discussion.

And those with power levels below the Outer Building hardly need to be ranked in the Lost World.

After all, the power level of God-Comes itself is already the cultivation peak for ordinary people, as truly breaking through the limits of life and maintaining one’s cultivation until death is indeed “like the arrival of a deity.”

The two lists were divided into two columns.

The main chart was on the left, the secondary on the right.

While the God-Comes powerhouses on the main chart were certainly the most glorious, the secondary chart was actually where the fiercest competition lay.

After all, it was the powerhouse level of the Outer Building that mainly composed the main combat force of the Lost World expeditions.

Those active in the wild hunts were mostly of this power level.

God-Comes powerhouses generally only appeared in larger-scale battles within the Mystical Realm.

And in April of the Year 3919 of the Dao Calendar, the first place on the secondary chart of the Sea Honor List bore the bright name of Jiang Wang!

What an immense honor this was?

How many cultivators from the entire Eastern Region were engaged in battles in the Lost World?

The whole human race of the Eastern Region and the Sea Race Warriors of the Cang Sea, engaged in endless fierce battles on the Battlefield of the Mystical Realm.

How intense and dangerous.

To stand out from among them, one could certainly be called a person of outstanding talent!

To be precise, Jiang Wang’s name should have been recorded in the “Sea Honor List” by the powerful Magic Artifact known as the “Sea Hero Chart”.

The people of Heavenly Mansion City were after all not very familiar with the Sea Hero Chart, which is why the person before had said Jiang Wang’s name had reached the Sea Hero Chart.

Jiang Wang was well aware that perhaps by the end of the month, his name might not be at the top anymore.

Because after all, today was only the fifteenth of April, and only half of the month had passed.

But at this moment, looking at the Sea Honor List, a sense of pride emerged naturally.

This was the glory he had fought for with his life, sword by sword!

There the name “Jiang Wang” stood out sharply, soaring above the sea tides, commanding the first place on the secondary chart.

Following his name, in smaller characters, his identity was recorded—male from Green Sheep Town of Daqi, Fourth-Rank Green Badge Constable.

After the identity, his combat achievements were listed—104 Commander-level Sea Clansmen slain.

At the very end, opposite the name “Jiang Wang”, flowed the Sea Honor score upon the tides—a total of 11,300 points!

The rules for recording Sea Honor were detailed at the end of the list.

Killing a Soldier-level Sea Clansman granted one Sea Honor point.

Slaying a Battle General-Level Clansman awarded ten Sea Honor points.

For a Commander-level, the score was a hundred points.

And for slaying a nobility-level Sea Clansman, the score was ten thousand points.

The leap from Commander-level to nobility-level in Sea Honor points was exponential.

Of course, even though there was such a wide gap in the numbers of Sea Honor points, it didn’t fully reflect the difference in difficulty.

After all, although Jiang Wang had harvested 11,300 Sea Honor points, he definitely wouldn’t be able to kill a nobility-level Sea Clansman.

Specifically, within the Commander-level Sea Clansmen, slaying an initial stage Commander-level would earn a hundred points of honor.

Slaying an intermediate stage would earn two hundred points, a high stage would earn five hundred points, and slaying a top stage Commander-level would earn a thousand points.

The Sea Honor Lists, both main and secondary, only recorded ten names each.

Without discussing the main chart, the second place under Jiang Wang’s name on the secondary chart already had 6,300 Sea Honor points.

As long as they maintained their current pace, they were sure to surpass Jiang Wang by the end of the month.

But at least for now, Jiang Wang led almost by half, far ahead!

With the entire Eastern Region as support, saying that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Lost World is not an overstatement.

It’s not difficult to find those stronger than Jiang Wang.

If it hadn’t been for Wei Xun pushing him with time constraints, Jiang Wang wouldn’t have risked his life to fight and achieve these results.

On the other hand, just being stronger than Jiang Wang wasn’t enough to achieve a better combat record, as this also required “cooperation” from the Sea Clans.

Upon seeing this Sea Honor List, Jiang Wang had already confirmed—the displacement within the Lost World had completely stabilized, and all channels of communication were now open.

The Sea Hero Chart was originally only popular in the Lost World and hardly attracted much attention in the Near Sea Archipelago, and even less in the Qi Boundary.

But with some purposeful pushing and promoting, as soon as it was established, it was posted in Heavenly Mansion City of the Qi Boundary!

One could only imagine how it had spread in the Near Sea Archipelago.

This might be one of Seize Sea Alliance’s methods in responding to the evolution of the Sea Clan.

By using honor and rewards to attract more cultivators from the Eastern Region to participate in the wars of the Lost World was also a way to relieve the pressure of warfare.

At the same time…

the Seize Sea Alliance could take this opportunity to expand their influence throughout the entire Eastern Region.

This plan must have been in place before, and the rankings and rules of the Sea Hero Chart would have required discussion.

But when Jiang Wang had just left the Lost World, he had not seen this list.

This meant that within the two days since he arrived in Heavenly Mansion City, the Sea Hero Chart had already been widely circulated through the Near Sea!

With transcendent power, if one truly wanted to implement something or spread certain messages, the speed could be astonishing.

But the fact that the Sea Hero Chart could spread so quickly and widely, being posted in Heavenly Mansion City for discussion in just a short amount of two days, showed just how much the Seize Sea Alliance valued this matter.

This was certainly a crucial part of the plan against the Sea Clan.

The dissemination of the Sea Hero Chart meant, first and foremost, that the existence of the Sea Clan was being made public to the entire Eastern Region.

What followed, when dealing with the Sea Clan’s rise, would undoubtedly require the support of more humans.

Returning to the current situation in Heavenly Mansion City,

The City Lord had personally welcomed him to the city the day before, which had already aroused the curiosity of countless people.

Now, with the opening of the Sea Hero Chart, his name alone topping the secondary list, it had certainly caused a sensation.

Regarding the posting of the Sea Hero Chart, the Seize Sea Alliance’s actions against the Sea Clan, and how Qi Country would respond to the Seize Sea Alliance’s expansion of influence without affecting the overall situation of the oceanic list…

Jiang Wang preferred not to analyze the thoughts of those significant figures too much.

With different perspectives, it was hard to grasp the truth.

It was always somewhat naïve and laughable for children to speculate on the thoughts of adults.

But he could not help but consider what impact this matter would have on him and how it would affect his subsequent decisions…

Especially…

The Sea Hero Chart, a list that declared honor to the humans, when it appeared and whose name could appear on it were matters of deep consideration.

Jiang Wang’s achievements in killing members of the Sea Clan in the Lost World were certainly solid.

But he went to the Lost World to atone for his crimes, and “atonement” naturally meant compensating for crime with merit.

So, should his “merit” still be counted?

The oceanic list was jointly managed by Diao Hai Building, Jueming Island, and Yang Valley.

What kind of power struggle lay behind this Sea Hero Chart?

What did being listed on it imply?

Given the difficulty of exchanging information between the Lost World and the present world, the journey to the Lost World was not easily spread.

Now, because of the sudden fame of the Sea Hero Chart, how could one leverage it?

…

…

In front of the Sea Hero Chart, someone loudly said, “Dividing the Near Sea Archipelago into several counties and incorporating them into ours, isn’t that good?

Look at the list those sea folks have stirred up; it’s a Qi person who’s number one!

What’s there to struggle against!”

“What sea folks?

Our Jueming Island is also part of the Seize Sea Alliance, you know?”

“Tch!

The sea is windy and dangerous, and I don’t want to go there, not to mention the Sea Clan!

Let’s just shut our doors and live our lives, and let them perish on their own.”

“Shortsighted!

There are resources beyond the sea, and if you don’t want them, there are plenty of others who do!”

With many people talking at once, the topic became more and more chaotic.

Another voice said, “The number one on the secondary list is from our Heavenly Abode Secret Land of Heavenly Mansion City!

In the future, who can say that Heavenly Abode Secret Land isn’t good enough?”

The first voice, noticing that Jiang Wang hadn’t flown far, asked, “Jiang Qingyang, are you heading out to sea again?

What for this time?”

The people of Heavenly Mansion City had a strong sense of pride and naturally regarded Jiang Wang as one of their own, showing great concern.

Of course, from the perspective of the entire Qi Country, this was not at all misplaced.

If previously Jiang Wang’s reputation had become known throughout Qi Country after defeating Wang Yiwu, then with the appearance of the Sea Hero Chart, wherever this list was known, everyone would come to know Jiang Qingyang!

Facing the enthusiasm of the citizens of Heavenly Mansion City, Jiang Wang simply said, “I’m doing what I must do!”

Stepping on the Qingyun Mark, he was already far away in an instant.
