Chapter 27 Grandmaster Ranking, Dragon and Tiger Ranking, Elite Ranking

There are no more than a hundred Grandmasters in the world, scattered across five countries and three regions. Even if the Qin Dynasty is the most powerful, the number of Grandmasters in a country is at most in their early twenties.

Below the Grandmaster is the late stage of the Innate Realm.

Zhang Yuan's cultivation and combat power at this time were already ranked among the top 50 in the Qin Dynasty.

Because of the existence of chaos, outsiders cannot perceive his cultivation strength. All those who have seen his true cultivation strength are dead.

As for his martial arts skills, he had broken through the great perfection level and achieved a comprehensive understanding three years ago.

He combined the mountain sword technique and fist technique, as well as the cloak sword technique, iron armor fist, and some martial arts techniques he acquired later into one, creating his own martial arts technique.

He gave this technique a name.

"The mountains and rivers move."

Yu Lin's mountain skills are the basis, and his own understanding of swordsmanship and boxing skills is transformed into the power of a river, which stretches endlessly.

With this skill, Zhang Yuan's combat power can be doubled.

Over the past five years, in order to hone his combat skills and accumulate spiritual resources, Zhang Yuan has quietly changed many identities.

In Luyang Prefecture, he is Zhang Yuan, an eighth-rank official of the Luyang Prefecture of the Great Qin Dynasty. As an old soldier in the yamen and the only one who returned from the bloody battle in Toyota County, he is respected by all his comrades.

Even the superiors in the yamen were extremely polite to Zhang Yuan.

Normally, Zhang Yuan worked in the yamen for less than half a year a year, and no one cared about him.

Heibingtai was a sixth-rank black-armored captain, codenamed Black Tiger. This identity came about three years ago when the Yan army withdrew from Toyota County. When Zhang Yuan and Master Tao went to pay tribute to their comrades such as Yu Lin, they met a spy from Heibingtai. After communicating with him, he was recruited into Heibingtai.

In fact, Zhang Yuan was originally a member of the Zaoyi Guard, but he was no longer in the same order as the real Heibingtai.

At first, the spies who recruited Zhang Yuan and others into the Black Ice Platform only valued their ability to survive the bloody battle in Toyota County and their familiarity with the Yan army's tactics.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan and his team completed several missions brilliantly, and this secret agent was promoted step by step. Now he is the sixth-rank chief officer of the Black Ice Platform in Luyang Prefecture.

The bounty hunter Black Tiger's identity was planned by Master Tao for Zhang Yuan to conceal his identity in the martial arts world.

It's just right to take on some assassination missions to hone yourself, not only to earn money, but sometimes they can also overlap with the missions of the Black Ice Platform, killing two birds with one stone.

The Red Fox Caravan was formed based on the 400 remnant soldiers that Zhao Changming had brought out.

After the battle of Toyota County, they were stripped of their military status and no longer had the status of the Red Scale Army because they disobeyed orders and defended the city.

These four hundred remaining soldiers almost became bandits.

Master Tao asked Zhang Yuan to take out the silver and money that he had hidden away and set up the Red Fox Caravan. Zhao Changming and his men traded on the border all year round. Only a few people knew who the leader of the caravan, Red Fox, was.

Zhang Yuan cared least about the identity of the leader of the Eighteen Villages of Qingshan. The Eighteen Villages needed someone to protect them. Not many people in the martial arts world knew how strong Zhang Erhe was, but Zhang Erhe was a man of great righteousness. Anyone who touched the Qingshan Village had to think about whether he would offend the public.

For the past five years, all Zhang Yuan has done is hone his martial arts and visit the families of his comrades.

The real people behind the scenes were Master Tao and Hu Chunniu.

Master Tao's martial arts were cut off, and his heart and lung injuries were difficult to heal, so he placed all his obsession with martial arts on Zhang Yuan.

When Zhang Yuan entered the elite list under the name of Black Tiger, Master Tao got drunk.

According to him, if Zhang Yuan could make it onto the Dragon and Tiger List, he would die with peace of mind.

Yongtianzhou has three lists in total: the Grandmaster List, the Dragon and Tiger List, and the Elite List.

There are a total of one hundred people on the Grandmaster List, ranked by Grandmaster and Half-Step Grandmaster. One needs to have Grandmaster-level combat power to be on the list.

The Grandmaster Realm is a country's core combat power and a strategic deterrent. The Grandmaster Realm's combat power represents the strength of the country.

The Qin Dynasty can defeat several countries alone, and the Grandmaster level can crush any single country.

On the Dragon and Tiger List, all of them are famous in the Innate Realm, and the lowest one is in the middle stage of the Innate Realm.

There are a total of 300 powerful dragon and tiger warriors in Yongtianzhou, and more than half of the top 50 are in Qin State.

As for the elite list, those who are under 50 years old and have the cultivation level of Xiantian Realm are required. There are 500 of them in total. If you want to be on the list, you need to defeat the people on the list.

Master Tao was worried that Zhang Yuan's identity as the Black Tiger would be exposed because after he ranked in the top 100, many people would challenge him to become famous and look for information about the Black Tiger.

"Grandmaster's calamity, the opportunity of heaven, how to find it..." The light curtain in his mind dissipated, and Zhang Yuan, sitting cross-legged on the wooden couch, whispered softly.

He has fully prepared the Qi, blood and true essence to enter the Grandmaster realm, but he does not know what the Grandmaster Tribulation is and what the opportunity of heaven is.

Over the years, he had only been near the border and had not come into contact with the truly top-level masters. He was unable to explore the higher-level cultivation paths. In the five countries and three regions, the higher-level cultivation methods were all monopolized.

A great master in the martial arts world and a martial artist in the court.

For a practitioner like Zhang Yuan who gropes his way forward on his own, it is extremely difficult to make any progress.

"almost."

Zhang Yuan clenched his fists slightly, and a glimmer of shrewdness appeared in his eyes.

The wish for meritorious service on the roll of linen has been almost fulfilled, and the chief officer of the Black Ice Platform in Luyang Prefecture also told Zhang Yuan that the Black Ice Platform would arrange for him to practice martial arts systematically at the appropriate time.

Now, the Black Ice Platform is also paying attention to Black Tiger, a black armored warrior with excellent martial arts talent. The Black Ice Platform has been silent for many years and also needs a genius to join.

------------

When the sky was getting light in the east, Zhang Yuan had already gotten up, washed, and then practiced boxing in the yard.

Even if one has mastered the technique to a certain level, one should not slack off in daily practice.

In martial arts practice, if you don’t make progress, you will regress, and there is no end to it.

Breakfast was prepared by Old Man Xu's wife. It wasn't very rich, but it was enough to satisfy my hunger.

"Chen Wu came last night and drank quite a bit. He sat outside the porch, wiping away his tears. I persuaded him to go back."

"This kid is a sincere man. He always feels that you, Master Zhang, have sacrificed too much for them and worked too hard..."

When Zhang Yuan went out, Guo Da walked up to him and spoke softly.

Zhang Yuan was rarely at home. He would usually leave some money and ask Guo Da and Old Man Xu to take care of the families of his comrades.

Many young people grew up under their watch.

In recent years, Chen Wu has been to Dingjia Lane more often than to his own home.

Guo Da and the others treat them as their own children.

"This guy is already quite old. Huang Sanliang's second child is already pregnant, and he's still not married," Zhang Yuan shook his head with a stern face. "I have to help Brother Youde and find him a wife as soon as possible."

Seeing Zhang Yuan walking out of the door with an air of maturity, Guo grinned.

"You're not a child anymore..."

……

When Zhang Yuan arrived outside the city gate, he saw a carriage pulled by an old horse parked by the roadside.

When the driver saw Zhang Yuan, he quickly jumped off the carriage and bowed, saying, "Master Zhang."

The driver also fled from Toyota County and stayed in the academy to drive the carriage and guard the door.

Zhang Yuan nodded and got into the car. He saw Master Tao sitting beside him wearing a blue Confucian robe.

There was still a lingering smell of alcohol in the carriage.

"Have you been drinking?" Zhang Yuan frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

Hu Chunniu has advised Mr. Tao on his health, telling him to worry less, not drink alcohol, and he can live a few more years.

"That kid Chen Wu drank quite a bit last night. He had something on his mind, so he came to the academy to find me. I drank two taels of wine with him." Master Tao held up two fingers. "Really, two taels."

Zhang Yuan sat down opposite Master Tao and took a deep breath. "You know your body well. If you want to live longer, don't drink."

Master Tao chuckled and blinked, "Do you know what's on that kid Chen Wu's mind?"

What's on your mind?

Why else could a young man in his twenties have something on his mind?
"So, which girl did this guy fall for last night?"

Zhang Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Master Tao.

Master Tao nodded and said, "His colleague introduced his sister to him. She is from a wealthy family."

"This kid feels unworthy and drank a lot of wine last night."
