Chapter 912 Reactions from All Parties
"Brother Baihu, what...what do you think?"
Seeing Baihu remain silent, Mo Peng felt a little uneasy. He had fought alongside Baihu for many years and knew his strength well. As a fellow expert at the pinnacle of Qi, he understood the complex emotions Baihu was feeling.
Previously, even someone like Nangong Tianxia, whose cultivation level was far inferior to his, was able to be listed above him. However, the people ahead of him were all senior figures of the older generation, so Baihu didn't care much and just treated it as respecting the elderly and caring for the young.
But now...
Looking at the newly released World Rankings, this change signifies that the era of the older generation in the world is gradually coming to an end, and a new generation of prodigies from the same generation as Baihu have begun to emerge.
The ranking isn't as high as those veteran players, but Baihu can accept that!
Because the White Tiger never took those senior figures seriously.
But nowadays, being ranked below someone of the same generation... that won't do!
"Mo Peng, you don't need to worry. In my life, I, Baihu, have never cared about such empty fame."
"We are now guarding the border of the grasslands for the sake of our lord and the stability of Cang and Qi prefectures. Since Li Cunxiao has been able to achieve such success, it is due to his strength."
Despite the turmoil in his mind, Baihu looked up at Mo Peng's inexplicably guilty expression and slowly curled a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Baihu, don't take it to heart. We all know that although the World Ranking is authoritative, it is inevitable that some outstanding talents will be overlooked."
"With Brother Baihu's current strength, how can a mere ranking measure him? If you had the chance to make a name for yourself in the Central Plains like Li Cunxiao, I believe the number one spot would rightfully belong to you!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Peng's expression softened. He knew that Bai Hu was not a hypocrite and probably wouldn't care too much about the rankings. However, seeing the occasional fiery glint in Bai Hu's deep eyes, Mo Peng couldn't help but speak up.
With his unparalleled strength, which had reached the pinnacle of Qi, Baihu was absolutely qualified to claim the top spot in the current rankings, as understood by those who knew him well!
"Chance?"
"Opportunities are for those who are prepared, but more importantly, those of us in positions of power must fulfill our responsibilities. Now that I am in this position, my heart should naturally be here as well."
Baihu gently shook his head, interrupting Mo Peng.
Then, seeing Mo Peng's expression soften somewhat, Bai Hu silently lowered his eyes, looking at Li Cunxiao's name on the list, a fierce fighting spirit flashing in his eyes!
Number one in the world?
He, Baihu, is not convinced!
...
On the northern border of Da Xuan, the Tang State Duke's camp stood majestically, its military flags fluttering in the wind. Inside the tents, candlelight flickered, illuminating the faces of Li Xiuning, Li Shimin, and other generals.
On the table, a brand-new scroll of the World's Heroes Ranking lay quietly, like a brick to attract jade, drawing everyone's attention.
"This Li Cunxiao who suddenly appeared is actually a war god with the ultimate in罡气 (罡气 is a type of internal energy)? And he actually comes from the Yellow Turban Army?"
"This world is truly becoming more and more incomprehensible; heroes are emerging one after another, it's dazzling!"
Li Xiuning's slender fingers gently brushed over the notice, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, which then gradually turned into shock.
She carefully browsed the names and achievements on the list, and when her gaze settled on "Number One on the World's Heroes List: Hentian Wuhuan - Li Cunxiao", she couldn't help but exclaim softly.
Once upon a time, after witnessing Li Yuanba's invincible battlefield dominance, they thought that there was no greater pinnacle than this among the martial generals of the Qi faction.
They never expected that they would receive news of another extreme aspect of Qi so quickly, and it was bad news at that.
This newly emerged ultimate warrior of qi is actually among the Yellow Turban Army, their opponents!
"Xiuning is absolutely right. Li Cunxiao is also at the peak of Gang Qi, and his skills are probably no less than Yuanba's. His appearance is neither a blessing nor a curse for us, at least for now."
"Fortunately, he is not our direct opponent. Otherwise, although Yuanba alone can withstand an army of ten thousand, if he were to be restrained by this person, our chances of winning against the Yellow Turban Army's numerical advantage would be greatly reduced."
Li Shimin, sitting at the head of the table, also had a furrowed brow and deep gaze. He was clearly surprised and worried about the sudden appearance of such a master in the Yellow Turban Army. He spoke in a deep voice.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, this Li Cunxiao isn't in Zhu Chongba's Yellow Turban camp on the other side. He's under the command of that 'Dragon Soaring Commander' of Luzhou, otherwise this battle would have been very difficult."
"But speaking of which, I wonder how that silly boy Yuanba would react if he knew someone was competing with him for the title of 'Number One in the World'?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuning patted her chest lightly and smiled, secretly rejoicing.
As if on cue, Li Yuanba's honest figure appeared at the camp entrance, followed by Tu Xiusu, a general in the Tang army. The two entered the tent one after the other.
"Second brother, older sister, what are you looking at? It's so lively!"
"Second brother, older sister, what are you looking at? It's so lively!"
As soon as Li Yuanba entered the room, he noticed the eye-catching scroll of the World's Heroes Ranking on the table and asked curiously.
"Yuanba, this is the latest list of martial arts masters issued by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. It records the most skilled martial artists in the world today."
"Look, the current number one spot has become Li Cunxiao from the Yellow Turban Army, known as 'Hate the Heaven Without Rings,' with extraordinary strength. Like Yuanba, he has reached the pinnacle of Qi."
Li Shimin smiled slightly, handed the list to Li Yuanba, and explained.
"The number one spot on the Heavenly Rankings, alas, Heaven has no one to claim it—Li Cunxiao..."
Li Yuanba took the list, widened his eyes, and read it aloud, word by word.
"Second brother, what does 'Number One Under Heaven' mean? Does it mean the most powerful person?"
After reading it aloud, he scratched his head and asked with a puzzled look.
"Brother Yuanba, the number one in the world, is the most powerful person in the entire world. No one can beat him."
Seeing this, Tu Xiusu, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but interject.
"Second Brother, didn't you say that Yuanba was the strongest person in the world?"
"Is this Li Cunxiao even more powerful than Yuanba?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanba's eyes lit up. He turned to look at Li Shimin and asked in a simple and honest manner.
"Yuanba, your second brother has never lied. In your second brother's heart, you are the strongest person in the world."
"Although Li Cunxiao is formidable, he hasn't met you yet. If the two of you really fight, I believe Yuanba will definitely be the number one fighter in the world!"
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanba's blank eyes, smiled and shook his head, and said firmly.
"Second Brother is right, Yuanba is the most powerful! If that Li Cunxiao dares to challenge Yuanba, Yuanba will smash him into a pulp with one blow!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanba beamed with joy and nodded vigorously, feeling immensely pleased with Li Shimin's affirmation.
