Chapter 403 Talents on the Dragon and Tiger List

"Never underestimate the heroes of the world. Moreover, whoever can be enrolled in the Heavenly Sword Holy Land is not a child of destiny. Although Senior Sister Lou Yue is strong, the others are not bad either. As far as I know, there are at least three people in Heavenly Sword City who can compare with Senior Sister Lou Yue."

Tang Yimei glanced at the two of them, seeing the curious looks on their faces, and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you all about it, so that you don't get carried away and provoke them and anger them."

"Wait a moment."

Zhong Lin turned his head and shouted outside, "Shulan, serve the tea. Jinyi, go to the storehouse and get some spiritual fruits."

Soon, the spiritual fruits and spiritual tea were ready. Zhong Lin and Chu Yu sat opposite each other, looking at Tang Yimei with anticipation.

Tang Yimei was so distraught by their actions that she almost laughed out loud. She shook her head helplessly and said, "You've only been in the Heavenly Sword Holy Land for a short time, so you might not be familiar with some people and things. There's actually a list in Heavenly Sword City that records some of the most talented outer disciples. It's a very accurate list, and as long as those who make it onto it survive, they'll at least become inner disciples who comprehend yin and yang in the future. Several of them even become true disciples, and therefore are extremely sought after. As for who they are, I won't go into detail. The majesty of the true disciples cannot be offended."

"I know I know."

Chu Yu said excitedly, "It's the Dragon and Tiger List, right? Dragon and Tiger are Xuandan, and those on the list are at least Xuandan realm warriors. But I heard that the list is very secretive and few people know about it."

"Yes, when the Dragon and Tiger List first appeared, it was open to the public. However, some people placed too much emphasis on fame and fortune, and actually attacked those on the list, causing the deaths of many promising disciples at the time. Later, the sect elders were furious and punished them. The Dragon and Tiger List was then taken underground, and the number of people on the list was reduced a lot, from hundreds to just a few dozen today. However, being on the list is also more valuable. Anyone who can make it will at least become a powerful person in the Yin-Yang Realm in the future."

"Is Senior Sister Lou Yue on the list?"

"That's natural."

Tang Yimei nodded, her tone full of pride.

"The rankings on the list are in no particular order. Besides Senior Sister Lou Yue, there are dozens of others. However, the strongest are only a handful of them. Now I will introduce them to you. If you encounter them after the competition begins, simply admit defeat and do not try to be too strong."

Chu Yu curled her lips and said, "Just admit defeat? Are they really that strong?"

Tang Yimei sighed and said, "A few years ago, during a training session, I once encountered Senior Sister Lou Yue. Do you know how many moves Senior Sister Lou Yue used to defeat me?"

"Ten...thirteen moves?"

"He didn't even make a move. He just gave me a look and made me faint on the spot. He was then slaughtered at will."

"This...this is impossible, right?"

Chu Yu's face was full of disbelief, and she thought Tang Yimei was joking.

Zhong Lin, who had been silent, frowned, as if he had thought of something, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Complete satisfaction.

Only a state of mind at the perfect level can achieve this.

It turns out that we can’t underestimate anyone!

"Besides Senior Sister Lou Yue, you also need to be on the lookout for three individuals. One of them is Zou Peng. It's said that he possesses demon blood and unparalleled speed, making him unmatched among his peers. He even managed to escape the clutches of a Life and Death Realm expert while still in the Profound Dan Realm. The other is Sikong Yan. While condensing his spiritual body in the Transcendent Realm, he inadvertently drew upon the power of the Nine Heavens stars, thereby condensing a Nine Heavens Star Body. This is a physique closely connected to the Nine Heavens stars. Possessing this physique, one can freely draw upon the power of the stars, transforming their vastness and brilliance into their own strength. Their bodies are as indestructible as the stars, and the spiritual essence within them is unfathomable. It's said that he used this to comprehend the trajectory of the stars, allowing him to harness their power to unleash powerful attacks far beyond his own abilities."

The last person is named Jian Jingtian, who was born with a sword body. He started learning sword at the age of three, achieved great success in swordsmanship at the age of five, and comprehended the sword intent at the age of seven. He did not practice any martial arts before the age of ten, but he could defeat martial artists in the acquired realm with just the sword intent. After practicing martial arts, he soared to the sky. Many elders in the holy land extended olive branches to him, wanting to accept him as a disciple. It is said that the deputy sect leader also has this intention.

However, this person's swordsmanship is unconventional. He believes that everything in the world can be destroyed, and only his own sword bones can be made. Therefore, he wants to forge his own body into a peerless sword. In terms of swordsmanship talent, even Senior Sister Lou Yue cannot compare with him. "

Tang Yimei introduced all three of them in one breath, leaving Zhong Lin and the others stunned.

"Demon Veins, Nine Heavens Star Body, Natural Sword Body... No wonder Senior Sister said you should avoid these three. Some people are truly born with the seeds of martial arts. God is really unfair."

Chu Yu's face was filled with gloom. It turned out that some people were born to win at the starting line. The starting point was already the end point for thousands of people.

Tang Yimei tapped Chu Yu's forehead lightly with her finger and scolded her with a smile, "You are the daughter of the Marquis of Wu, and among the mortal world, you are an existence that many people envy. There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. To me, you two are unfair."

Chu Yu chuckled and said nothing more.

Tang Yimei turned her gaze to Zhong Lin again and said, "Junior Brother Zhong, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I just heard about so many geniuses for the first time and I feel a little uneasy. Sister, you don't have to worry about me." Zhong Lin said with a smile.

"That's good, Junior Brother Zhong. Your talent in alchemy is no worse than theirs. There's no need to underestimate yourself. If you encounter them during the outer disciple competition, don't try to be stubborn. Just admit defeat. No one will say anything."

"I understand. Thank you, Senior Sister."

"Yes, Senior Sister, I remember it."

"That's good. By the way, Junior Brother Zhong, we came here to ask you for some healing pills. Although harming lives is not allowed in the competition, injuries are inevitable. We must prepare sufficient healing pills. Otherwise, we may not be able to continue participating in just one game."

"Thank you, senior sister, for reminding me."

……

For the next month, Zhong Lin kept a very low profile, basically staying in his own Liuxuan Pavilion and never going out. However, many people came to ask for pills, mostly for healing, and obviously for the upcoming outer disciple competition.

Therefore, apart from refining the elixir, the rest of his time was spent in meditation and practicing, harmonizing the dragon and the tiger, and polishing the Xuandan. Although his cultivation had not changed much, the Xuandan was becoming more and more round, and it was only a matter of time before he reached the state of perfection.

The day of the outer disciples' competition is getting closer and closer.

On this day, the weather suddenly turned cold. The north wind blew all night and heavy snow fell from the sky. It was already winter.

The heavy snow only adds to the scenery of the entire Tianjian City. Cultivating to the Xiantian realm is already immune to cold and heat, not to mention being stronger.
"Very big snow."

Zhong Lin walked around Liuxuan Pavilion. The snow was already three feet thick, and only then did it make a crackling sound.
