Chapter 1992 - 1515-1516: Unmatched Prestige!

In the end, only Ximen Chuixue and Ding Peng were left in the arena, relying on their extraordinary swordsmanship and saber skill to contend with Dongfang Bubai.

This indirectly revealed the differences between the experts of the vassal states and those of the Holy Dynasty. The Power Realm of Ximen Chuixue and Ding Peng hadn’t even reached the Heavenly Human 9th Realm, yet their combat strength was comparable to or even surpassed the Heavenly Human 9th Realm experts of the Holy Dynasty present, attracting countless amazed glances and shining brightly.

Meanwhile, the Black Wind Village players, who had been besieged by numerous native hosts due to their abnormal status, quickly turned the situation around after receiving assistance from Wan Wan and others. Their morale surged as they launched a fierce counterattack under the leadership of Tie Niu, Ping Shengaoqi, and Li Jianfeng, wiping away their humiliation.

On the Jianghu Forum, many Black Wind Village players watching the live broadcast of the competition cheered jubilantly, as if they had won a victory.

Jiang Dali, sitting on the observation platform, saw this and knew that this time the players had indeed received benefits. Perhaps dozens of them would pass the preliminary selection, and as long as Tie Niu, Ping Shengaoqi, and Li Jianfeng, the three strongest ones, did not unluckily encounter natives above the Heavenly Human 4th Realm, entering the Hundred Heroes Association should not be difficult. By then, the rewards they would receive would help them further widen the gap with the vast number of players.

At this point, he no longer planned to closely monitor the situation of the Hundred Heroes Association, his main focus turning instead to the Divergent Spirit left inside the Earth Crystal Core, beginning to communicate with the Four Great Family Heads, requesting detailed intelligence information about Ling Yun.

The Four Great Family Heads habitually began to make excuses to demand benefits for such requests.

"Now, during the intense battles of the Hundred Heroes Association, a significant portion of the main brain’s computational capacity is being used to calculate the data of experts on the field, even finding it a bit overwhelming. To analyze the data of Ling Yun now is quite difficult, you know."

"Indeed! Ling Yun is a pillar of the Holy Dynasty, his power is too strong, the main brain lacks the modeling for such powerful figures, trying to analyze him is truly challenging. Eh, do you understand what modeling means?"

"Not easy to handle? Challenging, is it?"

Jiang Dali responded with a cold smile, "Lacking the corresponding modeling for such powerful figures is simple. How about if this village chief personally provides your main brain with some reference models? How about that Heavenly Will model like last time?"

The Four Great Family Heads said, "..."

Jiang Dali said blandly, "The Hundred Heroes Association ends in two days, I expect to see the specific data in half a day."

The Wang Family Patriarch gritted his teeth and ordered, "Give it to him! Give it to him!"

Soon, a not particularly detailed, yet extraordinarily useful piece of data information was transmitted through the main brain, appearing in Jiang Dali’s Divergent Spirit perception.

"Ling Yun [Yuanting Pavilion Master (Returning to Truth Realm Boss), Qi-Blood ???/3551680, Essence Qi ???/2890000[Hell Vajra Body +100%][Bright Sun Sky Light +150%][Hell’s Radiant Earth Store Body] (Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Baptism) [Primordial Spirit Perfection][Holy Dynasty Fate]]"

Realm: Returning to Truth Realm (900000/1000000)

Status: Yuanting Pavilion Master, Holy Dynasty Pillar, Ancient

Life Chart: Purgatory (Attributes: Unknown): Index: Unknown...

"This Ling Yun, his Qi-Blood is almost comparable to mine, just a million or so short, and his Essence Qi is very strong too, only sixty thousand or so less than mine... Impressive, truly impressive!"

"And it seems he has many cards up his sleeve... Bright Sun Sky Light, Hell’s Radiant Earth Store Body, none of these are intel provided by the He Family. Could it be new Martial Arts cultivated over the past few hundred to a thousand years?"

Jiang Dali couldn’t help but be secretly shocked after reading the information about Ling Yun collected and analyzed by the main brain.

As the Yuanting Pavilion Master and one of the pillars of the Holy Dynasty, it was true that Ling Yun hadn’t fought anyone for over a thousand years. Thus, it was perfectly normal that the He Family couldn’t gather information on what powerful Martial Arts he had practiced.

But the main brain is different. Through the brief moment when he confronted Ling Yun, utilizing his probing to implant the Earth Intent into the other’s body, it could simulate and deduce the other’s practicing route and roughly analyze some information.

This was also the reason he had decisively acted against Ling Yun earlier; now, it seemed, this move was correct.

...

At this time, on the observation platform, Ling Yun with a gloomy face exchanged glances with several family heads, such as those of the Xu Family, then subtly glanced at Jiang Dali, who was sitting diagonally in front, resting with his eyes closed, and coldly snorted in his heart.

"Be smart, retreat to advance, it doesn’t matter if our family juniors don’t take the first place in the Hundred Heroes Association this time, let Dongfang Bubai have it. We must prioritize the bigger picture, our main battleground is still in the Emperor’s Treasure Vault."

"Alas! This Marquis Wei Wu, too greedy, actually wants to swallow even the quota of the Hundred Heroes Association, it’s fine to arrange so many abnormal people, whose capabilities at most can only occupy seventieth or eightieth place, but he also arranged so many strong friends to seize the top ranks."

"Enough! The Spirit Sect Master is right, at this moment, small impatience can spoil the big scheme, wait until we’re in the Emperor’s Treasure Vault to settle accounts with him."

After a rapid exchange of consensus through Primordial Spirit Transmission, the people below immediately commenced bustling preparations to connect with the orders.

Previously, the top rankings and rewards of the Hundred Heroes Association almost became the preserve of the Holy Dynasty’s top families, or the proverbial "outstanding talents" they wished to promote, thereby cultivating many family backbones and even elders. Formerly, the Wan Family’s Spirit Pearl ascended this way.

For the top aristocratic families, even if someone posed a significant threat due to exceptional performance and strength, it didn’t matter. Whether through private negotiations or minor adjustments to the rotation order, they could achieve their intended outcomes. The only need was for actions to be discreet, taking into account the Regent King’s dignity, and hence the talents emerging from their families were indeed generally strong, with operating techniques serving as precautions, adding a finishing touch.
