Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 479: Chapter 185: Hidden Dragon List (Part 2)

”No wonder it has such a strong appeal.”

Lin Zheyu said knowingly.

He had read about the Hidden Dragon List in the Infinite Sect’s archives. Only martial artists under sixty in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm could be listed. If they exceeded the age or improved their strength, they would come off the list.

It’s a ranking that represents potential.

The stronger one is in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, the generally greater the potential, hence the name Hidden Dragon List.

”Little Martial Uncle, aren’t you just fifty now? Do you want to test your strength?”

”All you have to do is defeat a martial artist on the Hidden Dragon List, and you’ll be on the list,” Huang Youwei suggested with a smile.

He hadn’t seen Lin Zheyu take action since becoming a true disciple.

He was extremely confident in Lin Zheyu’s strength.

This was the only fighter at the martial arts exchange meeting who could draw with Monk Puxuan and win the title of Unbeaten in a Hundred Matches.

The top fifty might be daring to think, but the top hundred should be no problem.

”Are there any benefits to being on the list?” Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

”Fame!”

”The Hidden Dragon List represents one’s strength and potential. Any martial artist who can make it onto the list will have a large number of strong individuals and forces begging to follow them.”

Xu Kai’en said as a matter of course.

Just look at Jiwei City to see how terrifyingly influential a martial artist on the list can be.

If he could, he would seek out a martial artist from the Hidden Dragon List to challenge.

”Forget it then.”

”I’m used to being low-key and don’t like being too ostentatious,” Lin Zheyu said with a smile, shaking his head.

He looked around, wanting to see if Lee Mengqi and the others had arrived.

But after searching around, he didn’t see them.

”Martial Uncle, don’t listen to Xu Kai’en’s nonsense.”

”Being on the Hidden Dragon List isn’t just for fame. I’ve heard that being on the list has significant benefits for a martial artist’s cultivation.”

”I’m not sure what the specific benefits are, as martial artists on the list are tight-lipped about it,” Wei Dongguang chimed in.

”Yes, that’s indeed the case.”

”Uncle Chen Ding, Uncle Haihong, and Aunt Wenzi were all on the Hidden Dragon List, but they never made it to the top fifty.”

”I guess in another year or two, Grandpa will want you to come out and challenge the masters on the Hidden Dragon List,” Huang Youwei said.

This was a path every true disciple of the Infinite Sect had to take.

Some even embarked on the path to climbing the Hidden Dragon List before becoming true disciples.

Only Lin Zheyu, a wild martial artist who was admitted without the usual qualifications and without a complete transfer to Infinite Jade Waves True Skill, hadn’t been sent to the Hidden Dragon List by Huang Baizhong.

”Are there such benefits too?”

”By the way, didn’t Yue Qinghong, Luo Dinglong, and others make it onto the Hidden Dragon List?” Lin Zheyu suddenly asked.

After all, he had defeated many talented martial artists in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm back then. If they had made it onto the list, he should have been on it long ago too.

”No.”

”Their strength is considerable, but they’re still far from being genuine geniuses.”

”The Hidden Dragon List has only 100 spots in total, including the entire talents of Great Wei. Luo Dinglong and the others are only somewhat famous in the Wuling City area.”

Huang Youwei explained.

”What about Puxuan? Is he on the list?”

Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

Puxuan was quite strong, with the Buddhist Golden Body for defense, the world’s fastest Shenfoot Technique for speed, and the powerful Great Compassion Palm for attack.

Lin Zheyu only managed to win by using his extraordinary close combat body technique to engage with Puxuan.

After reviewing the fight with Puxuan, Lin Zheyu realized that even if he had unlocked the Nine Revolutions Locking Essence Skill, he wouldn’t have been able to break through Puxuan’s defenses.

”Yes.”

”After the martial arts exchange meeting, he challenged talents on the Hidden Dragon List everywhere.”

”He’s now climbed to the eighty-third position and continues to rise steadily.”

”Recently, more bald monks have been making the list, with eight of them already on it,” Huang Youwei said unhappily.

The official ranking of Great Wei had been occupied by foreign martial artists, which was quite embarrassing.

This suggested that Great Wei couldn’t find one hundred martial artists who could match those bald monks.

”Haha, it’s been a long time, Youwei,”

As they were chatting, a hearty laugh suddenly came, and a man with a finely trimmed goatee walked toward them.

”This is Deng An from the Cyan Rainbow Sect, the son of the third elder of the Illusion Sea Hall. The woman beside him is his sister, named Deng Rou.”

Huang Youwei introduced in a low voice.

The Cyan Rainbow Sect, like the Infinite Sect, was one of the top four sects in the Guanghua Domain, and Illusion Sea Hall was its branch in Wuling City.

”...”

Listening to Huang Youwei’s introduction, Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless.

This guy sure knows how to make friends, mingling with martial arts scions or the true disciples of elders and sect leaders.

However, most true disciples in the Infinite Sect didn’t care for Huang Youwei, but Lin Zheyu, being new, had grown close to him.

”Hey, this friend looks unfamiliar. Are you a newly promoted inner sect disciple of the Infinite Sect?” Deng An scrutinized Lin Zheyu and asked curiously.

Deng An was outspoken, with a loud voice, giving off a boisterous vibe.

His sister, Deng Rou, on the other hand, had a gentle demeanor, appearing delicate and frail, sparking a sense of tenderness in others.

Lin Zheyu sensed the strength within the two and found that Deng Rou’s qi blood wasn’t inferior to Huang Youwei’s, hardly a fragile young woman.

The two seemed very familiar with Huang Youwei, casually taking seats.

”Let me introduce you, this is my little martial uncle, named Lin Zheyu,” Huang Youwei said with a smile.
