Chapter 1835: Chapter 1833: Dragon List

”The Hidden Dragon List is a ranking that originated in ancient times. It’s said to have been established by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, the premier pavilion of the Ancient Realm, along with a mysterious individual, to select prodigious talents among the younger generation. These exceptional talents are referred to as ’Hidden Dragons,’ hence the name of the list.”

”The Hidden Dragon List appears once every ten years. During this time, a Hidden Dragon Platform emerges in each major region. All young individuals under the age of thirty can step onto the platform, which assesses their combat prowess, subsequently ranking them on the Hidden Dragon List from one to one hundred based on their battle strength.”

”Being ranked first means possessing the strongest combat ability among the younger generation in that region. Due to the densely populated East Province, the Hidden Dragon List there can include two hundred Hidden Dragon candidates.”

”In contrast, the Hidden Dragon Lists of the North Sea, South Desolation, and West Region can only accommodate one hundred Hidden Dragons each, for a period of three months. After these three months, the five hundred individuals who appear on these lists will compete in the East Province Holy City for the Dragon List rankings!”

Old Bai explained one by one.

”And what is the Dragon List?”

Xiao Yifeng asked again.

”The Dragon List is a ranking above the Hidden Dragon List, with only twenty spots in total. Those who make it onto the Dragon List are generally prodigious talents with extremely formidable martial abilities from the Ancient Realm. They are the elite who have reached the Divine Soul Realm or Nirvana Realm at a young age.”

”Everyone who makes it to the Dragon List receives significant rewards and gains. The allure of these rewards is enough to tempt any Martial Artist, and the higher one’s rank on the Dragon List, the greater the reward. Some have leveraged these rewards to significantly enhance their strength.”

”Every time the Hidden Dragon List and the Dragon List appear, it incites a frenzy among the prodigies of the Ancient Realm. Even Super Sects and the Eight Ancient Clans send forth their own gifted talents to compete for the Dragon List.”

”In the past, the top spots on the Dragon List have mostly been seized by members of the Eight Ancient Clans and disciples from Super Sects of the East Province, leaving no room for outsiders to step onto the Dragon List.”

”Many of the top-tier powerhouses in today’s Super Sects and Eight Ancient Clans were once on the Dragon List themselves. It’s often said that entering the Dragon List is a precursor to reaching at least the Dominant Realm, and the Supreme Dominator is not uncommon.”

Old Bai continued.

”Brother Gui, have you forgotten about someone? This person embarrassed both the Super Sects and the Eight Ancient Clans ten years ago!”

Old Hei suddenly interjected.

”Are you referring to the one who was first on the Southern Wilderness Hidden Dragon List ten years ago and later became first on the Dragon List?”

Old Bai’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he remarked.

”Indeed, traditionally, both the Hidden Dragon List and Dragon List top spots were dominated by individuals from the Super Sects and Eight Ancient Clans. However, ten years ago, the emergence of the Hidden Dragon List saw an enigmatic man without any background rise to the top of the Southern Wilderness Hidden Dragon List. During the Dragon List competition in the East Province Holy City, he decisively defeated the prodigies from the Super Sects in the East Province, and even the nurtured talents of the Eight Ancient Clans were no match for him, being crushed one by one.”

”In the end, this person ascended to the first throne of the Dragon List, becoming the most prominent figure in the Ancient Realm at the time, gaining tremendous fame, and undoubtedly shaming the Super Sects and Eight Ancient Clans.”

Old Hei’s eyes gleamed as he spoke in a steady tone.

”Could someone be this powerful? Who is he? What is he like now?”

Xiao Yifeng asked in curiosity.

”His name seems to be Xiao Chen!”

Old Hei replied.

”Xiao Chen!”

Upon hearing this name, Xiao Yifeng’s pupils contracted, his eyes narrowing, and a look of intense astonishment flashed across his gaze.

He hadn’t expected that the person who had captured the top spots on both the Hidden Dragon List and the Dragon List ten years ago would be Xiao Chen, and he had a hunch that this Xiao Chen was his father.

”What’s the matter? Do you know this Xiao Chen?”

The Heibai Elders looked at Xiao Yifeng.

”I think I know!”

Xiao Yifeng responded gravely and then asked, ”What happened to him afterward?”

”After becoming first in the Dragon List, both the Eight Ancient Clans and the Super Sects wanted to recruit him. However, he rejected all overtures. He vanished after receiving the Dragon List’s reward, leaving no trace behind.”

Old Hei explained.

”Vanished?”

Xiao Yifeng was taken aback.

”Yes, vanished. Many say he was secretly killed by the Eight Ancient Clans and those sects because his talent was too monstrous. It was believed he would eventually step into the Dominant Realm without any difficulty, and the Supreme Dominator was also possible.”

”To prevent a powerful future adversary, it’s said they secretly killed Xiao Chen. But the exact details remain unknown, and it’s all mere speculation!”

Black Dragon continued.

Upon hearing that Xiao Chen might have been killed, Xiao Yifeng’s face changed, and he declared sharply, ”Impossible, he won’t die!”

”Indeed, the first on the Dragon List isn’t so easily killed!”

Old Bai nodded and then shifted his gaze to Xiao Yifeng.

”You also have the surname Xiao. Based on your tone, could it be that you and he have some kind of connection?”

Old Bai looked at Xiao Yifeng.

”My father is named Xiao Chen!”

Xiao Yifeng stated solemnly.

”What?”

Old Bai and Old Hei were both shocked by what they heard; they hadn’t anticipated such a situation.

”Could it be that this number one on the Dragon List, Xiao Chen, is your father?”

Old Hei asked, looking at Xiao Yifeng with a stunned expression.

”It’s possible. His talent is extraordinary, and you, even with only the strength of the Opening Spirit Realm, can annihilate those in the Divine Soul Realm. Your martial talent is equally remarkable and terrifying. As they say, a tiger father begets no dog son!”

Old Bai looked at Xiao Yifeng with a note of admiration in his eyes.

”Since your father was first on the Southern Wilderness Hidden Dragon List and the Ancient Realm Dragon List back then, it seems you should also walk on this Hidden Dragon Platform and not disgrace your father’s name!”

Old Hei addressed Xiao Yifeng.

”No hurry, I’ll see what happens first!”

Xiao Yifeng gazed up at the Hidden Dragon List in the void, a peculiar light flickering in his eyes.

On this day, the entire Ancient Realm was captivated by the Hidden Dragon List. Prodigies from the families of each sect were eagerly eager to ascend the Hidden Dragon Platform and demonstrate their formidable combat abilities.

”Are you planning to ascend this Hidden Dragon Platform?”

Soon after, Yuan Zhimo appeared before Xiao Yifeng and asked.

”I’ll give it a try tomorrow!”

Xiao Yifeng replied indifferently.

As night fell, Xiao Yifeng embraced Liu Xuaner and entered the room. Witnessing this, a complex expression flickered in Beiming Shuang’s eyes.

The next day, when Xiao Yifeng emerged from the room and looked at the Hidden Dragon List in the void, it was already filled with many names, obviously from those who had stepped onto the Hidden Dragon Platform the previous day.

Beside these names was a measure of combat strength, with most values ranging from forty to fifty, as the Heibai Elders had explained.
