Chapter 86: The meaning represented by the strongest, based on facts rather than interests

~7 min read 1,284 words

The Wangquan Baye template, the reshaping of Three Thousand Burning Flames, the gathering of the experience of countless sword powerhouses under the manifestation of the Rat Shu Shu Fu Zhou, and items like the Hogyoku and Emperor Armor breaking through his own limits.

There are too many factors that constitute his current strength. Talent is just the least worth mentioning thing among them.

After seeing Master Zhong and Morax off, he went to a village near the Kunlun mountain range alone and found a breakfast shop to sit down.

The morning mist shrouded this border town, and the steamer of the breakfast shop on the street was steaming; Ye Xuan asked for a bowl of soy milk and a few buns, eating slowly.

The diners around were discussing the mutated beast tide last night in twos and threes, and also talked about the powerhouse comparable to Master Zhong who appeared in Hangcheng, but no one recognized that the young man in front of them was the protagonist of the video.

After breakfast, Ye Xuan walked aimlessly, the battle scene between Master Zhong and Morax flashed in his mind, and his hands felt itchy again for a while.

But with his current strength, unless there is a mutated creature in Kunlun Mountain that reaches Stage Four, it is not enough to relieve his desire to fight.

It's strange to say, clearly he was not a warlike person in the past, why is he so eager to fight after fighting more?

Is it because he can benefit a lot after fighting with powerhouses every time?

It's a pity that the Qi tide has just arrived, and Stage Three is the limit that mutated creatures can reach at present. Unless there is an opportunity to obtain Myriad Realms treasures, allowing one's own strength to transform into a higher realm, it is absolutely impossible to reach Stage Four in a short time.

If he wants to find an opponent that satisfies him, besides the Rat Shu Shu Fu Zhou, he might only be able to find it if he steps into the deep sea.

Unknowingly, Ye Xuan walked to the hillside outside the town, and the Kunlun mountain range stood majestically not far away, glowing with a faint golden light under the morning sun.

Looking at this scene, he was a little trance for a while. Since obtaining the system until now, it seems that he has spent most of his time on cultivation and fighting. Now that he is suddenly free, he doesn't know what to do.

Clearly thinking of giving himself a holiday today, but when he tried to relax himself, he found that he still felt something was missing, and had an inexplicable sense of insecurity.

Since this is the case, let's cultivate.

His body doesn't want to relax, and his spirit doesn't need to relax, so he naturally doesn't need to deliberately make himself relax.

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on the hillside, closed his eyes slightly, and the Qi in his body flowed, suddenly like a bottomless vortex, pulling all the Qi within a few miles, and the light cyan mist surrounded this area, constantly pouring into Ye Xuan's body.

Time flowed quietly like water.

Since the beast tide caused by the Qi tide subsided, the world entered a relatively calm period.

Although there are occasional events of mutated birds gathering and mutated creatures from the wild appearing in some families, the number is small, and the Tianshu Bureau will arrive at the scene as soon as they receive a call to nip the threat in the bud.

On social media, discussions about ability users and Myriad Realms treasures are becoming more and more heated.

A large number of new accounts have emerged on short video platforms, some of which have awakened abilities in the Qi tide, some whose pets are still gentle after mutation and are determined to be beast tamers, and some who introduce anime, as well as Myriad Realms treasures that may appear in reality in anime.

There are many comments under each video, especially the latter.

Although few people say it clearly, since the Qi tide, human desire for power has reached the extreme.

The powerlessness of not having the power to protect oneself and one's family in the face of the threat of possible death is a painful thing for anyone.

At that moment, pinning hope on anyone is not as good as pinning hope on oneself.

It is the Tianshu Bureau that actually actively modified the ranking of the extraordinary list, ranking Ye Xuan's ranking to the level equal to Master Zhong, that is, the position of "strongest".

Honestly, Ye Xuan doesn't understand why they did this. Although this has no meaning to him, "strongest" has a special meaning to a country and to the public.

Before the Qi recovery, "strongest" symbolized the extreme of a country in a certain field, and also symbolized wealth, fame, honor, and even the faith of some people; after the Qi recovery, while symbolizing them, it also added another thing, that is—power!

This point was actually reflected before the Qi recovery, but it was far less deep than it is now.

And after the Qi recovery, people's faith in "strongest" is not comparable to the faith in "strongest" in a certain field before the Qi recovery.

Normally, they shouldn't give this position to someone outside the Tianshu Bureau. Ye Xuan is neither a representative of a force nor a member of the Tianshu Bureau. They can't get anything by pushing Ye Xuan to the strongest position; and Ye Xuan doesn't feel that he has the power to defeat Master Zhong.

Regarding this point, Su Mengyao actively called Ye Xuan to explain it, saying that this was Master Zhong's wish.

"Great Xia is the Great Xia of every Great Xia person, and the Tianshu Bureau is also the Tianshu Bureau of all Great Xia people."

"Based on facts, not interests."

"However, Master Zhong's meaning is to rank your name above his, saying that you possess stronger power than he does now; but it was not agreed."

"Can you tell me what Master Zhong meant by you possessing stronger power than he does? Do you have other Myriad Realms treasures besides Silly Girl?"

Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to refute Master Zhong's will, and what Master Zhong said was no problem, and Da Xia should do so, but it couldn't be done before, or rather, no country in the world could do it.

Even now, they can only allow Master Zhong to rank Ye Xuan at the same level as him, not surpass him.

This is already the limit of their concession, unless one day Ye Xuan reveals power that clearly exceeds Master Zhong in public.

Su Mengyao didn't care much about this, just curious about what the power that Ye Xuan was stronger than him in Master Zhong's mouth was.

Besides Silly Girl, does Ye Xuan have other Myriad Realms treasures?

"Compared to this, I didn't expect that you really didn't report Silly Girl's information to the Tianshu Bureau."

"Why?"

"Don't want to progress?"

Although Su Mengyao had said before that she would not report Silly Girl's matter to the Tianshu General Bureau, Ye Xuan didn't believe it. After all, he and Su Mengyao couldn't even be considered friends in a strict sense, just contract holders cooperating with the Tianshu Bureau.

This bit of emotion is not enough for Su Mengyao to help him hide Silly Girl's existence.

It's just that he didn't expect Su Mengyao to really do this, and even until now, the Tianshu Bureau doesn't know that he has "Silly Girl".
