Hearing this, Zhao Feng took the booklet from Hong Changzhi.
"Great Yan Chronicles."
It was a Court Gazette recording the changing fortunes of Great Yan's Martial Dao and Martial World. After looking through it, Zhao Feng discovered that these chronicles actually recorded everything-rumors, anecdotes, even gossip.
One conspicuous piece of news stood out: Zhao Feng of the Nine Yang Gate had entered the Tiger Ranking at number 300!
One place above him was Xie Qiu of the Divine Martial Manor.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen of the Mad Blade Sect had been pushed off the Tiger Ranking.
This must have been based on their performances at the earlier Exchange Gathering. Although neither he nor Xie Qiu had emerged the victor, he had remained on the defensive throughout, so he had been ranked below Xie Qiu.
Jiang Chen, meanwhile, had lost to Xie Qiu. He had already been behind Xie Qiu at number 300, and now he had fallen behind Zhao Feng as well, pushing him straight off the ranking.
"What's wrong, Junior Brother Zhao? Unhappy with your ranking?" Hong Changzhi teased when he saw Zhao Feng's indifferent expression.
"No, it's only my fellow martial artists thinking too highly of me. Senior Brother Hong, could I borrow these chronicles?"
"Of course. Take them. They sell them in the Prefecture City."
Zhao Feng thanked Hong Changzhi, but his brows furrowed as he turned to leave.
If his guess was right, trouble was coming.
The next day, while Zhao Feng was enjoying a feast of Treasure Fish and exotic beast meat at the Fishing Ground, he received a message from the sect.
Jiang Chen of the Mad Blade Sect had publicly declared his intention to challenge Zhao Feng of the Nine Yang Gate, and had sent a written challenge.
The news surprised no one. At
