Chapter 172: On the list
In this list, he ranks at the bottom, 91st.

In addition to his name, there are also many notes about his inclusion on the list.

Listing his notable achievements in the past, the most noteworthy one is naturally his recent effort to turn the tide and save the city of Donglai County.

It was this incident that helped him to successfully make the list.

Among them, the Qi-refining strength he demonstrated in the duel with Xue Boyan was also the key to his ranking on the list this time.

The significance of defeating Xue Boyan is much higher than Song Changming himself expected.

And having the ability to refine Qi is also a hard standard for being listed on the Earth Ranking.

At least when Song Changming looked around, he saw that all the people on the Earth Ranking were Qi-refining warriors without exception.

Song Changming was ranked at the bottom of the list, but he wasn't dissatisfied.

Whether it is his current Qi Refining cultivation level or his personal combat record, he really has no advantage compared to other people on the list, so it is normal for him to be ranked behind.

But no matter what, this freshly released list, although not as good as the Heavenly List, is still extremely valuable.

The fact that Song Changming was included in the list is enough to show that he has potential and strength, enough to enter the vision of people all over the world.

And it is not just limited to Donglai County.

As expected, it was later distributed along with copies of Jianghu secret records and read by people.

Many people paid attention to the Donglai County incident, the Earth Ranking, and a person named Song Changming.

In the northern city of Hengyang County, inside the royal palace.

The second prince Chu Jing looked at the secret record in his hand with a gloomy face, and threw it to the ground in great anger.

"This is outrageous! This Zhuji Pavilion!!"

He wished he could just order the troops to attack this so-called hidden sect, so that the Zhuji Pavilion would not dare to speak nonsense and offend him again!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Zhuji Pavilion cannot be touched. Right now we need to be careful about the counterattack from Nanyang." An adviser hurriedly said.

He didn't want the Second Prince to lose his mind due to anger, and the huge foundation he had built would fall through.

Chu Jing sat back on the throne, silent, and the scene became extremely dull.

After a long while, Chu Jing finally calmed down and said, "Zhuji Pavilion cannot be moved. What about that 'Dragon Blade'? He ruined my plan and killed General Xue. How can I let him go?"

"Your Majesty, please think twice. Donglai County must be heavily defended now. If we rashly send people there again, I am worried that we will suffer heavy casualties again." Another aide hurriedly advised.

In fact, he had something else in his heart that he didn't say.

Although this Donglailong swordsman is just a gangster, his personal martial arts skills are extremely high. Even Xue Boyan is not his opponent. He is also on the local list.

Moreover, the other party has been staying in the southern county, so it would be very difficult for them to deal with him.

"This one asks me to calm down! That one asks me to think twice! Could it be that all the brave generals under my command are fake? Even if I don't use strong generals, can't any of the martial arts disciples I recruit be of any use?"

Chu Jing became angry again, and stood up and paced while shouting.

It can be seen that this defeat really made him feel a little depressed.

"I have made up my mind. I will not mobilize any soldiers outside the plan, but I will send my followers to capture the Dragon Swordsman. I want to see who dares to offend me!"

Chu Jing made the decision directly with a flick of his sleeves, not wanting to hear any more from the counselors around him.

Seeing this, all the counselors had no choice but to shut up.

The failure of the plan to capture Donglai County is now a foregone conclusion. In their opinion, they should not act on impulse and waste their time and energy on a martial artist who is insignificant to the outcome of the war.

The matter concerning Song Changming could be discussed later.

In another county town in Hengyang County, in a large mansion with three entrances, a woman in a floral dress was also browsing the secret book she had obtained.

His eyes fell on the last place on the local list, the column for Song Changming, and stayed there for a moment.

"Song, Captain Wei." The woman blinked, her heart surging with emotions and a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.

The woman was none other than Xiao Shuyun.

Today, Xiao Shuyun no longer looks like the young girl she used to be. She now looks beautiful, elegant, and mature like a peach.

She was not at all surprised at Song Changming's current achievements.

Back then, he determined that Song Changming had unlimited potential and was a genius of the time.

Now Song Changming is just fulfilling his potential. In the future, Song Changming will definitely have a place on the Heavenly Ranking if nothing unexpected happens.

"Miss, the third young master is calling you to discuss an important matter." Min'er walked over and said outside the courtyard.

"I understand. Let Third Brother wait for a moment." Xiao Shuyun calmed down, closed the book in her hand, and nodded.

The look of reminiscence in her eyes had disappeared again, replaced by Xiao Shuyun's cool aura from the inside out, as if she had become a different person.

Song Changming is no longer the little patrol captain he used to be, and she, Xiao Shuyun, is no longer the fourth young lady who had a weak presence.

Mid June.

That night, midnight.

Song Changming sat alone in the courtyard, drinking a pot of sake facing the bright moon in the sky, waiting for the appointed time to come.

After finishing the wine in the glass again, new information appeared on the panel.

His long-awaited annual review had finally arrived.

Unlike previous years, he attaches particular importance to this year's annual evaluation.

This is because this year he has made considerable achievements in training, combat performance, and fame.

There are also major events that I participated in.

Maybe this year might be the year with the highest evaluation since he started practicing martial arts.

Soon, his vision was recognized by the panel.

【Annual evaluation: The best year. 】

The overall keyword for the year given by the panel was "the best year" just as he wanted.

[Martial Arts: This year your martial arts skills have advanced by leaps and bounds. You have acquired Qi Refining skills, learned the Ninth-Rank Wind Dragon Divine Sword Skill, and practiced the Great Bull Demon Skill to the Ninth Extreme.]

[Battle record: This year you have completed several exciting battles, reaching a new high in the total number of kills, defeating the powerful martial arts genius Li Pu, and defeating the ever-victorious general Xue Boyan]

[In terms of personal connections: gain the favor of the ruler Gu Wenhui, unlock the relationship with the ruler's second prince Chu Jing (currently hostile), unlock the relationship with Mr. Goldfish of Zhuji Pavilion (currently a preliminary appreciation)]

[Power and reputation: This year you will gradually become famous all over the world.]

[Family: Father passed away, and the family members died out.]

[Complete events: 1. Participate in the Jiaolong robbery event and obtain the Dragon Ball! 2. Complete the event of saving the county city, the ultimate display of personal heroism! ]

【Please select the annual reward. 】

[1, Lifespan +5000. 2, Lifespan -2000, gain the green physique 'Light as the wind'. 3, Lifespan -2000, can upgrade a related physique (Swordsman, Strong). 4, Consume lifespan -500, attribute points +5. ]

【Note: You can choose two of the four items as rewards. 】

"I can choose two rewards out of four!"

Song Changming was a little surprised. This time he truly felt the qualitative change brought about by the improved evaluation.

Previously, you could only choose one reward, but this time you have one more option.

After taking a quick glance at the four reward options, he quickly made up his mind.

Choose that which is much rarer, a constitution-related bonus that only appears in high-rated ones.

One is to directly obtain new physical characteristics, and it is of green grade.

The other is to upgrade his previous physical characteristics.

"I didn't expect that the physical characteristics I obtained earlier could be upgraded."

The only thing that made him feel a little painful was that these two rewards would require him to pay a total of four thousand life spans.

This is not a small amount.

In other words, he paid more than ten years, nearly eleven years of his life, to get these two physical-related rewards.

The price is indeed huge!
That is to say, Song Changming can accumulate lifespans every day. Otherwise, if other people had such an exchange opportunity, they might not be willing to exchange so much lifespan for the improvement of their talents.

After all, this is nearly eleven years of life. How many eleven years can one have in life to squander?
