Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1166: Chapter 397: Narrow Escape from Death, Shock, and the Emergence of the Top-grade War Body_3

Only that Ji Hong, she cannot see through.

”150,000, it should be just short of 150,000, that Ji Hong must be deliberately holding back from breaking through, aiming for a top-grade Battle Body!”

Jiang Shouping held it in his heart for a long time, and finally couldn’t help but speak.

The people of Jiangxia heard this, and their pupils suddenly showed a trace of surprise.

Of course, including Xiahou Qingqing.

”Top-grade Battle Body...”

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Qingqing’s pupils shook uncontrollably.

Although her basic strength has already exceeded 110,000 pounds, she can feel herself already at the limit, achieving a top-grade Battle Body is surely out of the question.

Jiang Shouping lowered his voice and asked everyone: ”That Ji Hong is not the issue, didn’t you notice the age of those from Great Xia?”

This question, once thrown out, immediately opened everyone’s chat, and the team members spoke with surprise:

”I noticed earlier, their age is under 20 on average!”

”Not just that, some are very young, I estimate at most 16.”

”I noticed too, many are younger than Qingqing.”

”Are Great Xia youths all so talented?”

”It’s understandable if they have backgrounds, but the captain just asked, only that Xiao Hen has some background, if Yuan Bai had a connection with Director Yuan, he wouldn’t hide it from us; and Ji Hong, there seems to be no one with the surname Ji in Great Xia’s senior ranks, seemingly he truly has no background.”

”Impossible! Are all Great Xia youths like this?”

”It shouldn’t be, if it is, what a state would that be.”

”I’ve observed those youths, they all carry a bit of arrogance, most likely have some background, it’s just under the circumstances we couldn’t inquire in detail.”

”We might have stumbled upon some genius team from Great Xia.”

.........

Xiahou Qingqing realized what everyone was saying, the group of more than fifty from Great Xia they just encountered were indeed absurdly young.

Being so young aside, their strength was undeniably strong!

Aged fifteen or sixteen with Earth-digging Realm Limit strength, Jiangxia is not without such individuals, like herself, for instance.

The problem is people like that are precious in Jiangxia Town, cherished enough to keep them in the town all day, hardly letting them venture out into Snow Forest to hunt, especially in groups.

”It seems the many rumors about Great Xia are not baseless!”

Upon hearing Jiang Shouping’s remark, Xiahou Qingqing and the others immediately turned to look at him, faces full of curiosity.

Seeing everyone’s gaze, Jiang Shouping continued in a deep voice, ”Rumor has it, Great Xia has risen for only ten years, presently known are four Directors: Yuwen Dao, Yuan Cheng, Qiu Peng, Luo Yuan, the eldest being Luo Yuan, yet still under forty, among them, Director of the Military Department, Commander of the Dragon Martial Army, Yuwen Dao is not yet 27 years old this year...”

Gulp!

Upon hearing this, the team suddenly produced the sound of swallowing.

Everyone’s expressions froze, including Xiahou Qingqing who always considered herself highly talented, now her face stiffened, pupils full of shock.

Still, Jiang Shouping continued.

”Great Xia oversees eight departments, second only to one man, Minister Xia Chuan, rumored to be of the same age as Yuwen Dao...”

Jiang Shouping paused and turned to everyone, asking softly, ”That Xia Chuan is the brother of Lord Xia Hong, he is only twenty-six years old, guess how old his elder brother is this year?”

”How...is this...possible?”

Xiahou Qingqing’s shock in her pupils reached a climax, her tone stuttered slightly.

Of course, it wasn’t just her, the rest of the team were equally astonished and filled with disbelief.

”It’s said the Eight Departments Directors of Great Xia all have a strength generally over forty-long, with Yuwen Dao and Minister Xia Chuan likely over fifty-long, at twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, how could it be? How is this possible?”

”That’s Xia Hong! Currently the first person of Moao, Xia Chuan is only twenty-six years old this year, he’s Xia Chuan’s elder brother, how old? Thirty? Just over thirty? Even if forty, it seems unlikely?”

”My brother works in the chamber, he’s visited Hongmen City, he says not only Minister Xia Chuan, but Tower Master Qiu of the Treasure Tower, also the Camp Supply Department Director Qiu Peng, both appear to be in their early twenties.”

”How can this be?”

.........

The team was full of incredulous voices, and truth be told, even Jiang Shouping held doubt towards those rumors.

Jiangxia Town, standing in Moao Mountain for many years, has formed common understandings on many matters.

Regarding age, a basic perception exists:

Unless in special cases, the Lords of each town, and those Xianyang Level experts, are usually above a hundred years old, these are the backbones;

The core high-level in towns, ages at least in their seventies or eighties, anyone who reaches core levels in their fifties or sixties can be considered youthful;

Below them, ordinary senior levels are generally people in their fifties or sixties.

This fits their usual understanding.

Currently Jiangxia Town operates similarly.

Jiangxia first generation, namely Jiang Yinglong, Xiahou Ming, and their contemporaries, have all passed away;

Presently those administering are all second-generation descendants, the Xiahou Family led by Lord Xiahou Zhang, currently seen as the mainstay of Jiangxia Town, the Jiang Family recognizing Jiang Xinfan at 92 years old as Town Chief, with ages mostly over eighty, this group regarded as core high-level;
