Dragon Gate Rankings, Uninvited Guest?
Actually, in the city, Little Li didn't really like riding in a horse-drawn carriage.
But as is widely known...
He and Ice Block are now more than just famous.
You could throw a brick anywhere in the city and it would hit several passersby who had seen the TV series "The Overbearing Empress Falls in Love With Me".
There is no possibility of having only heard of their name but never seen them in person.
The day the Hidden Dragon Ranking is unveiled will likely Martial Dao Summit; being recognized will be troublesome.
The carriage moved slightly.
The breeze from Fish-Dragon Street carried the outside noise and allowed sunlight to stream into the carriage.
Li Mo looked up and saw Ying Bing sitting there with her long legs spread out to the side.
Suddenly, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
The Big-Headed Doll slapped a mosquito on the table.
Ying Bing frowned, picked up a rag, and began wiping the Big-Headed Doll's forehead, making a squeaking sound.
Only when he saw that it was shiny and bright did a hint of pleasure flash in his eyes.
Li Mo: "..."
Is this doll definitely not related to witchcraft or anything like that?
Why does my forehead feel so cold...?
Beside her, Princess Little Jiang was also wiping the broken sword she had picked up three days ago, her face full of seriousness.
"Weren't you planning to sell it as scrap?"
Li Mo smiled and casually asked:
"If you're going to sell it, why bother cleaning it so thoroughly?"
"These... these... they're not for sale. They're not... they're not junk... Big Brother Li... bought them for me..."
Jiang Chulong shook her head and then blinked.
"And... they're still... still alive..."
"Um?"
Li Mo was taken aback.
He has indeed been receiving system feedback and prompts these past few days.
These are martial arts insights shared by Princess Little Jiang, such as: [Congratulations, host, you have successfully invested in 'Jiang Chulong,' helping her comprehend a Swordsmanship and fostering the growth of Wild Grass Sword Bone.]
Is this how the collaborative work came about?
From the broken and damaged sword, she gleaned insights into Swordsmanship?
"..."
Li Mo slapped the Crimson Firmament Sword.
You, a dignified Mystic Weapon, are still intact.
Why can't they do something to make us proud?
Suddenly, Li Mo remembered something else:
"Oh, right, Ice Block."
Ying Bing looked up. "Hmm?"
"Have you encountered any difficulties while preaching these past few days?"
"For example?"
Li Mo asked, "Many disciples of Cloud-Crossing Sword City practice different sword techniques. What if they ask you about Swordsmanship you haven't encountered before?"
"What difference does it make whether you've practiced Swordsmanship or not, given that it's a divine skill?"
"..."
Li Mo found out.
She meant learning it on the spot.
There was doubt in those beautiful phoenix eyes, a doubt that he would ask such a question, as if it were written:
'Isn't that how you are?'
Seeing the confusion on Ning Jing's jade-like face and the bewilderment in her gray eyes, Little Li fell silent.
If the Crimson Firmament Sword could speak, it would definitely be slamming its fist on the table right now:
"Xiao Li, speak up!"
Not long after.
The carriage slowly arrived at the end of Fish-Dragon Street, where the ground faced the shimmering Dragon Gate Lake.
In every major city at the state level, a Dragon Gate is placed in the city to announce the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
Looking out, you can see the Dragon Gate standing on the lake, as tall as a six or seven-story building. It is pure white and intricately carved with seal script, as if it were made of white marble.
Li Mo and his fellow disciples from Clear Abyss Sect disembarked from the carriage and chose an excellent restaurant for viewing the rankings.
"Shopkeeper, you don't even have any customers here. It's not fully booked, is it?"
"I'm sorry, sir, we have a wealthy guest from the Eastern Wasteland Domain who has already booked the entire place..."
The shopkeeper shook his head and cupped his hands in greeting:
"In business, integrity is the most important thing."
Li Mo pondered for a moment.
"Is your restaurant for sale?"
There are four more gold mines in the System Space; there were originally five, but one was used up three days ago through investment.
There were even more silver notes.
I'm too lazy to calculate the value of the rare treasures, and I don't even know how much each one is worth.
A box fell to the ground with a thud.
"My restaurant is in an excellent location, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold. The construction alone cost 300,000 taels of silver. Young hero, yours is probably..."
"This isn't silver."
"A chest of gold? That's about right..."
"Silver notes."
Snap--Snap--Snap--
The shopkeeper and the waiter's knees buckled.
Why is it a third tone?
Li Mo: "... Senior Brother Ouyang, we're on the same side."
The rooftop open-air banquet hall.
Everyone took their seats. Li Mo was flanked by Ice Block and Princess Little Jiang on either side, with the Dragon Gate directly in front of them.
This is the VIP best viewing area.
"It's so lively!"
Li Mo gazed down at the vast, ethereal crowd below.
"Naturally, the Hidden Dragon Ranking is closer to ordinary people than the Heaven, Earth, and Man Rankings."
"The Hidden Dragon Ranking is one of the most eye-catching lists."
The Dragon Gate was reflected in Ying Bing's eyes.
In this life, she ascended to the Hidden Dragon Ranking much earlier...
Li Mo took a sip of tea and then placed an apple in Princess Little Jiang's hand.
That makes sense.
Eighth-realm experts need no further explanation; they are as elusive as dragons, appearing only briefly and never returning.
Whether it's the Seventh Realm of the Heavenly Ranking Profound Mastery, the Profound Realm, or the fifth External Scene Realm of the Human Ranking, they are all too far away for ordinary martial artists.
Those on the Hidden Dragon Ranking are Divine Observation, meaning they are at least possible to come into contact with.
"Wait, one of them?"
"There's also the Hundred Flowers Ranking and the Divine Weapon Ranking."
The waiter next to him suddenly spoke up, smiling:
"Judging from the extraordinary aura of you young heroes, it seems that several of you will emerge Hidden Dragon Ranking!"
"The Hidden Dragon Ranking..."
Looking at the commotion below, Li Mo suddenly felt a sense of unreality.
Can he make it onto the Hidden Dragon Ranking?
If we're talking about actual ability, then there's no doubt it's possible.
They might even be near the front.
Although he only possessed the Second Aperture of Divine Observation, he had far more resources than anyone else in the Divine Observation Realm could possibly have.
He clearly remembered the memories brought about by the Mystery of the Womb.
I'm just an ordinary, unremarkable nobody on the fringes of society. Average looks, average grades, average starting salary after graduation, and I sometimes say I haven't dated because I'm chaste, but really it's just that nobody wants to date me...
His name might also appear before the world?
It really doesn't feel very real...
Of course, not necessarily.
"I wonder if this Hidden Dragon Ranking is reliable."
Li Mo composed himself.
"Pretty close."
"The Heaven Derivation Sect has existed for a very long time, longer than the Great Yu and even the Great Shang."
Ying Bing said softly.
How did she know that divination truly existed?
It was precisely because of the various Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Ranking List published by the Heaven Derivation Sect.
Even the assessment of her was quite accurate.
"Then I'll wait and see."
Li Mo smiled, though he wasn't actually sure.
Even the Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye cannot see his destiny, so it's hard to say for sure for the Heaven Derivation Sect.
Not necessarily accurate.
"Um..."
Ying Bing remembered the woman who had read Li Mo's fortune three days ago.
She recognized him; it was Tian Miao, the current Heaven Derivation Sect Walker.
Tian Miao personally came to read his fortune, it should... have some reference value.
Four days.
There are only four days left before the system releases the rankings...
Could the rankings on this Hidden Dragon Ranking correspond to the system rankings to some extent?
Ying Bing withdrew her gaze from him and looked towards the Dragon Gate.
Bang--
Just then, the waiter burst in.
The waiter had a long face:
"Young hero, the guests who booked the entire place have arrived and are insisting on arguing with the restaurant owner."
"Then let them go find it."
"Now you're the boss..."
"Um... in that case, return the money and give those people a better seat..."
Li Mo was speaking.
Footsteps sounded at the bottom of the stairs, more than one.
"The locals in Yun Province are so rude! They dared to steal the table I booked!"
The sound seems to be...
Does this look familiar?
I rode my electric scooter to an internet cafe to write today, but it suddenly ran out of power halfway there, and I had to push it for a long time.
The little punk thought to himself, "If only some audience member could give me some encouragement right now TT".
