At this moment, Li Changfeng, who was resting in bed, suddenly sat up. "What happened? How did my Fame suddenly increase so much?!"
Li Changfeng then opened the system, and his Fame instantly increased by 500 points, while his Cultivation Points increased by 50 points.
Rising Star of the Martial World (510/1500).
Cultivation Points: 60.
"Holy crap! My Fame is rising so fast! Could it be that word has spread about my battle with the Princess?"
"Forget it! There's no point in thinking about it! Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
The next morning.
After washing up, Li Changfeng went straight out towards the Princess Manor when suddenly a voice came from behind him, "Hey! Isn't that Carefree Young Master?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng turned around and immediately saw the seven young talents from the previous Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage. He asked in surprise, "What are you all doing here?"
Zuo Kangcheng of the Mount Song Sect laughed and said, "Hehe! We have received an invitation from Princess Minmin to discuss an important matter! And you, Carefree Young Master?"
"I see! I was also invited by Princess Minmin to discuss an important matter with her. It seems we have the same purpose!"
"I see! Brother Xiaoyao! Shall we travel together?"
"Absolutely delighted!"
"Hahaha! This way, please, Carefree Young Master!"
"Huh! I remember there were nine people back then! How come two are missing?"
"Alas! The fact that these two didn't come is actually related to you! The guy from the Free and Unfettered Sect was seriously injured, and even lost a lot of his Inner Force. He was taken back by his elders. Guo Zhishang from the Gale Valley is lying in bed recuperating. His bones are all broken and he needs a lot of time to recover, so he can't come to see the Princess for the time being!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng chuckled, "I see! It seems I went too far..."
"Brother Zuo! If I may ask you a question, isn't your Mount Song Swordplay a unique swordplay of your sect? How come Princess Minmin also knows it!"
Just as Zuo Kangcheng was about to explain, Yu Yingfan from the Azure City Sect interrupted him, "Hmph! Apart from the Free and Unfettered Sect's cooperative relationship with the Imperial Court, all eight of our sects have submitted to the Imperial Court. What's so surprising about them having our martial arts? This has already spread throughout the entire martial arts world. Brother Xiaoyao! You are far too ignorant!"
Li Changfeng narrowed his eyes and said in surprise, "So that's how it is! No wonder the Princess could use your swordsmanship; I was also puzzled at the time!"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Kangcheng gave Li Changfeng a deep look and said, "It seems that the commotion at the Princess Manor yesterday was caused by you and the Princess!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongwen of the Ironclad Gate immediately became interested and gossiped, "Brother Xiaoyao! With your strength, how were the results?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng shook his head, "Alas! Utter defeat, a complete and utter defeat. Princess Minmin is far too powerful; I am no match for her, and she has refused my marriage proposal..."
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongwen of the Ironclad Gate patted Li Changfeng on the shoulder, "Defeat is common in war! Brother Xiaoyao! Don't worry about it, your strength is already very strong!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yingfan sneered, "Heh! Don't you know how strong Princess Minmin is? You all know how powerful she is. She won fifth place in the Heroes Assembly Tournament held in Central Province a while ago, and she was even ranked fifth on the Human Rankings!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! Fifth on the Human Rankings? What's that?"
Upon hearing this, Chou ZhengGu of the Meteor Sect gave a wry smile, "Brother Xiaoyao! You don't even know this? All those years you've spent wandering the martial world have been for nothing..."
"Hehe! I have been in seclusion in the deep mountains for many years and have only just emerged. I am not very familiar with the affairs of the martial world!"
"So that's why we didn't know such a top-tier expert had suddenly appeared in the martial arts world!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Hanhai of Medicine God Valley smiled slightly and explained, "The Wind and Rain Pavilion has created a ranking list for all the masters in the world, divided into three lists: Heaven, Earth, and Man!"
"Let's not even talk about the Heaven Ranking; those are all experts at the Acquired and Innate levels! Experts who can reach this level can no longer be considered human; they can be regarded as immortals. Each one of them is a renowned expert who shakes the martial arts world!"
"The Earth Ranking is a ranking of top-tier and supreme masters, also known as the Grandmaster Ranking. Reaching the top level can be called a Grandmaster, and a supreme master is Grandmaster. Most of the people on it are sect leaders or elders, and they are generally the older generation of masters!"
"The Human Rankings is based on young talents under the age of thirty. To be eligible for the Human Rankings, one must have at least first-class strength. It is the place that most young talents aspire to. But you, Young Carefree Young Master, have stepped on our heads and obtained the 86th place on the Human Rankings. It was just announced yesterday!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng immediately understood why his Fame had increased so much, and then thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Le!"
Medicine God Valley's Le Han waved his hand dismissively. "Brother Xiaoyao! No need to be so polite! You'll find out about these things later anyway; I'm just letting you know in advance!"
"Let's go! The Princess Manor isn't far ahead!"
Princess Manor.
At this moment, Li Changfeng and his group arrived inside the main hall. Princess Minmin looked at them with a serious expression and slowly said, "Seven days from now! We will fight Shaolin to the death at Greenhill Mountain!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng was immediately shocked, thinking to himself, "What on earth is going on! Didn't I already send someone to convey a message to Shaolin? How could this have sparked a major battle?!"
Seeing that Li Changfeng seemed distracted, Princess Minmin asked, "Carefree Young Master! Do you have any objections?"
Li Changfeng was immediately jolted awake and hurriedly said, "No... I have no objections. Didn't the Imperial Court and Shaolin have a truce period? Why did war suddenly break out!"
Princess Minmin gave Li Changfeng a deep look and said coldly, "Our Imperial Court does what it wants! We don't need to explain to you!"
"Princess, please calm down! I will not ask any further questions!"
"Alright! You all have seven days to prepare. There's going to be a tough battle! You all need to conserve your energy!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present exclaimed, "We obey!"
"Alright! You may leave now! See you in seven days!"
Everyone left the main hall. Ning Caiying of the Divine Fist Gate sighed, "Alas! A great battle is about to begin! Blood will flow like rivers again..."
Iron Palm Gang Sha Anran said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do! We've already sided with the Imperial Court; there's no way we can resist..."
Zuo Kangcheng of the Mount Song Sect made a shushing gesture, "Brother Sha! Be careful what you say!"
Upon hearing this, Sha Anran of the Iron Palm Gang was immediately startled. He quickly looked around and, finding no one there, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Zuo! I am extremely grateful!"
Zuo Kangcheng waved his hand, "Brother Sha! We're all on the same side, so be careful what you say in the future!"
"Understood! Understood! It won't happen again..."
