Chapter 104: Revisiting Lingyun Ferry

  Chapter 104: Farewell, Lingyun Ferry

  Hand over the spiritual spear "Jì Guāng" to Lin Dú Qiāng, comfort the restless Chǔ Tiě, then bid farewell to Jiǔ Duàn Dà Shī.

  "Little Jiu, see off Chu Cheng. You are all of the same age and will be attending the Youth Hero Gathering together, so get along with each other and support one another in the future." Master Jiu Duan nodded and said.

  "Yes!" The youngest of the nine disciples bowed respectfully to Master Jiu and then turned to Chu Cheng, saying: "Brother Chu, I'm just a junior who has wandered into this place, several years younger than you, but far inferior to your experience and strength. Please take care of me."

  Chu Cheng hastily returned the courtesy: "Wind Shixiong is too polite. Wind Shixiong, at such a young age, has already refined nine drops of Blood Essence and ranks twenty-first on the Heavenly Rankings. Moreover, he is well-versed in the art of alchemy, truly deserving to be called a youthful prodigy. Given time, he will surely refine the Blood Jade and become an unparalleled genius."

  Feng Xing Mo seemed extremely shy, hearing Chu Cheng's praise, his face turned red, stuttered: "Chu Shixiong is overpraising, you are the real genius... Chu Shixiong please!"

  Chu Cheng smiled slightly: "Feng Shixiong, please!"

  The two of them exchanged a smile and walked out of the grand hall side by side.

  Just then, a loud announcement was suddenly heard.

  "Qī Xuán City's Shen Wú Yá has arrived to pay respects and offer congratulations to the 9th Forging Master on his promotion to a Spiritual Level Equipment Refiner!"

  Feng Xing smiled and explained, "It's someone from the Seventh Mystic City. That Shen Wuyue... seems to be an extremely powerful Mountain Sea Realm expert, according to my master, his strength is not at all inferior to Lin Duqiang."

  "Chu City sighed and said, 'Nine Refinements Great Master, you are indeed a rare talent in the world! With one move, you've promoted to Spirit Level Equipment Refiner. This threshold will probably be broken through!'"

  Feng Xing Mo heard Chu Cheng praise his master, and his small face turned red again. He said: "Chu Shidi, let's part ways for now... When the Young Heroes Conference is held, we'll gather again, how about that?"

  "It should be so!" Chu Cheng smiled slightly and bid farewell with a bow.

  At this moment, outside the courtyard of Jiu Yan's mansion, hundreds of precious carriages were parked, each one belonging to a powerful force or a strong lone traveler.

  The name of Chu Cheng has spread throughout the capital of Chu, and his image is probably recognizable to everyone. To go out like this is really unwise and will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

  Just as he was worrying, a straight figure suddenly appeared in front of him, it was Lin Duqiang.

  "Chu Cheng little friend, you're leaving in a hurry." Lin Duojian, the poisonous gunner, held his spiritual gun Jingguang and smiled at Chu Cheng.

  "Lin, senior... isn't he still severely injured? Doesn't he need to be taken care of properly?" Chu Cheng cupped his hands and bowed, then asked curiously.

  "It's just a minor injury, after taking a Lianxue Yangshen Dan, I've almost recovered, and my spirit is refreshed, as if my soul has been baptized. It feels wonderful! Chucheng little friend, I promised you that I would teach you gun techniques properly, how can I go back on my word?" Lin Duogun said with a smile.

  "Oh?" Chu Cheng's eyes lit up.

  Lin Duxiang is among the strongest in Shanhaijing, his marksmanship is ranked first, to be able to receive his guidance and teaching, isn't that a great fortune?

  "In that case, shall we go?" Chu Cheng asked.

  "Come on, let's go to my place!" Lin Duojian burst out laughing.

  Time flies, and it's been twelve days in a flash.

  On a small hilltop, in an open area, a young man was holding a long spear and practicing his spear techniques.

  Although he was young in years, his marksmanship was extremely skilled. The long gun in his hands was like a dragon, or a poisonous snake, either swift or slow, and it was very good.

  Not far away, a middle-aged man with a straight waist, sometimes nodding and smiling, sometimes shaking his head and sighing.

  These two men were none other than Chu Cheng and Lin Duxiang.

  For twelve days, Chu Cheng and Lin Duxiang have been practicing gun techniques on this small mountain peak that belongs to Lin Duxiang. It can be said that these are the twelve fastest-progressing days for Chu Cheng in the past twelve years.

  At this moment, Chu Cheng felt that his marksmanship had undergone a tremendous transformation, and compared to twelve days ago, it was like heaven and earth. Having a famous teacher guiding him was indeed much better than not having one.

  After finishing a set of gun techniques, Chu Cheng stood up respectfully and cupped his hands towards Lin Du, saying: "Elder Lin!"

  Lin Duxiang smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. In just twelve days, your marksmanship has improved by at least one level compared to before. Among the young people I know, your talent in archery is definitely among the best. Given time, you will surely surpass me and reach the realm I have always dreamed of."

  Chu Cheng shook his head and smiled: "Lin Shixiong is overpraising me. Lin Shixiong is the real genius of marksmanship, a rare talent in a hundred years."

  "It's all right, no need to flatter me." Lin Duqiang shook his head and said: "Today is the day when the Young Heroes' Assembly will be held, you should also come down from the mountain."

  "This time I'll go down the mountain, I will make a strong effort to be the first, and take the championship in one move!" Chu Cheng smiled slightly, full of confidence.

  "Overestimating one's abilities? What great confidence! Young friend from Chu City, Chu State is home to many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with countless talented youths... You're just as arrogant as your father and big brother. However, this year's young heroes gathering will be different... Oh well, I'll help you win!" Lin Duojian burst out laughing.

  "Good luck!" Chu Cheng nodded his head and strode down the mountain with big steps.

  This time, the Youth Hero Conference did not have a screening session beforehand, so there was no mention of a competition venue. All participants will head to Fengyun Platform at the foot of Bawang Peak and take the platform directly into Qingming.

  For twelve days, a large number of extraordinary strongmen have signed up for the Young Heroes Conference. As of today, the number of named contestants on the Qingming List has increased from just a few thousand to over 20,000, reaching a total of 30,000.

  Among them, there were former geniuses, hidden masters who had never participated in the Youth Hero Conference, old men who were too old to break through, and young children who wanted to enter the Qingming Ruins to gain great opportunities.

  The Qingming Festival has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

  The list of the greatest geniuses, the one ranked first is still that "Uncrowned King" Feng Shenjun from Wangdu. The second place, however, belongs to a young powerhouse named "Chu Long Huang".

  Not only that, but also the third to tenth places were almost all squeezed out of the top ten, and even Xue Kuang Lei, who was originally ranked second in "Thunderstorm", was ranked eleventh.

  Prodigies of the Ages: A list that records individuals under the age of twenty who have refined their Blood Essence. Once they exceed the age of twenty, even if they have refined their Blood Essence, they will inevitably be listed on the Heavenly Rankings.

  There are currently twenty-seven people in the list of geniuses.

  At the top of the heavenly rankings is the "Phoenix Feather".

  This last generation's extraordinary genius, this year is only twenty-two years old, has already refined four blood diamonds, can be called a temporary handsome boy, the son of heaven.

  One after another, the geniuses of the previous session appeared in succession. Except for Duó Wén, who had already entered the Seven Treasures Realm, not a single one was missing.

  There are even more names, previously unheard of, now emerging one after another.

  Originally ranked first on the Heavenly Rankings, Dugu Han has been squeezed out to beyond 30th place. Those above him are all in the Transcendent Realm of Great Perfection, with refined and tempered blood essence.

  As for the Ninth Master, Chu Manfu, Xiang Ziyang, and Chucheng, they were all squeezed out of the Heavenly Rankings and relegated to the bottom of the Earthly Rankings. Only Huang Tiantian, although his ranking had dropped, still ranked thirty-sixth on the Heavenly Rankings.

  In the earth list, it was almost completely changed. The original characters were all gone and squeezed into the human list. However, Dongfang Ye, who was originally on the human list, remained unchanged and even rose a few places in ranking, clearly having made rapid progress with his cultivation undergoing a drastic change over the past twelve days.

  "The land of Jing and Chu, unexpectedly has so many young heroes, previously never appeared before. It seems that indeed one cannot underestimate the people of the world." Chu Cheng let out a sigh.

  Dongfang Ye and Leng Cangfeng sent a message, the two of them have already gone to Fengyuntai, Chu Cheng naturally doesn't need to go back to "Li's Inn" again, but instead heads straight to Ba Wangfeng's Fengyuntai.

  At this moment, under the Ba Wang Peak, it can be said that there are people everywhere, and those who come to watch the excitement are packed tightly. Chu Cheng smiled slightly and was about to go up the mountain.

  "Halt!"

  Suddenly, an arrogant voice rose, with a tone of extreme disdain.

  Chu Cheng slowly turned around and looked at a young man in brocade clothes: "Are you calling me?"

  "Hmph, who else should I call? Don't think that just because you've hooked up with the Ninth Forge Master, you can put on airs in front of me. If I tell you to stand still, you'd better stand still; otherwise, I'll make you lose face on the spot and never set foot on the Wind Cloud Platform again!" The arrogant young man curled his lip, his face full of disdain.

  "Oh? Then who are you to dare to be so presumptuous?" Chu Cheng's eyes flashed with a hint of anger rising from the bottom of his heart.

  "Me? Haha, I am a member of the royal family from the great city 'Lingyun City', and I am the son of the city lord Chu Lingyun, Chu Lagi! You are just a small town person, seeing the son of the great city's lord, don't you kneel down and kowtow? Haha!" Chu Lagi laughed loudly, extremely arrogant.

  "Make me kneel? You must have the ability to do so! Lingyun City? Heh, if I'm not mistaken, isn't it the location of the Lingyun Sword, one of the eight great sword techniques of Chu State, and also the hometown of the Ling family?" Chu Cheng's voice was cold, with a surge of murderous intent emanating from his entire body.

  Lingyun Sword Ling family, originally the first family of Lingyun City, even the city master had to look at their faces. However, this generation's Lingyun City Master Chu Lingyun was extremely treacherous and used despicable means to slaughter the entire main branch of the Ling family, leaving only the Shanyang Town Ling family branch.

  This young generation also produced a teenage prodigy named Ling Yun Du. He was defeated by Chu Cheng in the Mountain City and then disappeared without a trace.

  "Hmph, you see if I, this young master, have the ability! This young master's eight drops of blood essence will strike and kill your seven drops of blood essence, it's as easy as turning my hand over! Chulaki's face revealed a fierce expression, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws, he charged towards Chucheng."

  He held a precious sword in his hand, the sword was not bad, but the swordsmanship was too poor.

  Chu Cheng looked at Chulaki with disdain, just about to take action, when suddenly his face changed and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

  "Chulaqi, you've secretly learned a bit of the Ling family's sword techniques and dare to show off in front of me? Watch my Lingyun Sword! Green grass sways gently in the breeze, but remains unbroken even in strong winds!"

  A flash of sword light, and Ling, the young master from the border battlefield, emerged from his cocoon, bringing anger with him.

  And his cultivation had also made rapid progress, condensing seven drops of essence blood!
