The Power Ranking?
Sure enough, things had changed. He'd known this final competition wouldn't be simple.
"So the entire Emperor Above Realm circle will be taking part?"
"Whether they have the ability or not, they all want to come and try their luck."
"Your Zhang Family has gathered quite a few forces during this time. Was that to prepare for the Power Ranking?" Chen Changan asked curiously.
At Chen Changan's question, Zhang Xiaoni shook her head helplessly. Seeing his puzzled gaze, she smiled and explained, "Our Zhang Family are the enforcers, so... we can't compete for a place on the Power Ranking."
"Only our Zhang Family knows about this. Outsiders don't."
The Zhang Family were the enforcers, so they couldn't take part in the contest for the Power Ranking?
Then why had the Zhang Family gathered other forces and even recruited so many people to prepare?
"A lot of people out there think your Zhang Family will be the biggest beneficiary of this Eternal Ranking."
"Now that you can't participate, I'm afraid many people will feel... that they've been tricked."
"If they turn against you when the time comes, it won't do your Zhang Family any good."
At Chen Changan's words, Zhang Xiaoni only smiled and nodded, not looking worried in the slightest.
"Of course we've considered that."
"We've already selected a group of people in the Zhang Family, the ones with the best chance and the greatest ability. When the time comes, they'll form a new force."
"The Zhang Family are the enforcers, so we can't participate as a force. But no one said that other forces formed by members of the Zhang Family couldn't participate."
"It's a loophole, of sorts."
"So we'll have to rely on these people and try to claim a place on the Power Ranking."
