162: Chapter 162, Part 5!

Hmm?

King Fenghai heard the words and rose from his desk, looking at the secretary before him and waving his large hand.

He took the report.

Then he continued reading.

As expected, those at the top were all children of extremely powerful families within the Imperial Capital Barrier!

These fellows had each grown at a frantic pace by relying on their Family resources.

Of course, every one of them was a person of exceptional talent.

They had also undergone trials of blood.

However, almost none of them were in the military department, nor did they have much contact with it.

He looked at the fifth place.

It was none other than...

Ye Qing!

Whoa!

Headquarters truly has a Wisdom Eye for talent, actually placing Ye Qing in the fifth position!

It seems Headquarters' level of recognition for Ye Qing is also extremely high.

Becoming fifth wasn't just due to his recommendation anymore; it was more about Headquarters' recognition of Ye Qing's various aspects.

Looking further down, the Powerful Experts from various war zones were interspersed.

Since the Modu Barrier was considered a Super First-Tier Barrier with many powerful families inside, the Eastern War Zone's overall ranking was also relatively high.

"Headquarters said that they will be sending the king-level exotic beast essence blood for the star of huaxia to the various sub-districts in the next few days," the secretary added after seeing King Fenghai finish reading.

"Hmm, essence blood absorption is a dangerous situation. I remember Qian Tu absorbed king-level exotic beast essence blood once before. We can have him act as a Dao Protector and let Ye Qing and the others go to the Jiangcheng Barrier to absorb the essence blood and receive their other Legacy resources."

"I'll make some other arrangements as well."

King Fenghai pondered. With every word he spoke, the secretary beside him wrote rapidly, quickly recording everything King Fenghai said.

Once everything was said, the secretary walked out to issue the orders.

Near noon, Marquis Ling Feng also received the orders from the Modu Barrier.

He was currently in a meeting with a group of Town Generals.

"Marquis Ling Feng, there's an order from King Fenghai of the Modu Barrier. The rankings for the star of huaxia are out!"

Oh?!

Everyone looked toward the Guard Army soldier delivering the order.

Marquis Ling Feng's eyes also lit up. He hadn't expected the results to come out so quickly.

He opened the report and looked through the thirty names, locating Ye Qing almost at a glance.

"Fifth?!"

Boom!

That single sentence was like a sudden clap of thunder!

It left everyone shocked and dazed.

Fifth!

Fifth among the star of huaxia?!

Generally speaking, the top ten were mostly Powerful Experts from the Imperial Capital Barrier or the Modu Barrier, with at most one or two Powerful Experts from other First-Tier Barriers breaking in.

But this time, their Sucheng Barrier, as a standard First-Tier Barrier, had actually managed to get someone in!

And the ranking was ridiculously high!

"I'll go tell Ye Qing."

"King Fenghai wants Ye Qing and the others to go to the Jiangcheng Barrier to have Qian Tu act as their Dao Protector while they absorb the king-level exotic beast essence blood."

Li Xian muttered. Not only had that fellow Qian Tu absorbed king-level exotic beast essence blood before, but now he could even provide Dao protection for this year's star of huaxia because of it.

However...

Now, Li Xian wasn't worried about Qian Tu trying to recruit Ye Qing.

After all, Ye Qing had now formed a Contract with Jing Yao. And who was Jing Yao? She was King Fenghai's biological niece.

In the future, he would definitely be one of King Fenghai's people.

Would Qian Tu even get a chance to poach him?

"Alright, I'll go tell Ye Qing about the situation first. You all go back to your work."

"Yes, Marquis Ling Feng."

The group of Town Generals all left.

However, every one of them wore a look of extreme shock.

As they walked and talked, many members of the Guard Army also found out.

Regarding this matter, the Town Generals hadn't given any instructions about keeping it secret.

This was a great thing, something worth promoting.

There was nothing that couldn't be said.

Not only should it be said, it should be widely announced!

Gradually, the news began to spread within the military department.

It showed a strong tendency to spread frantically into the Barrier.

Meanwhile.

Inside the manor.

Ye Qing looked at the sleeping Liu Lianmeng. He had originally thought he could somehow achieve a Breakthrough to the Tenth Rank tonight.

But he had been overthinking.

He walked outside.

Here, the other young women were drinking tea in the courtyard, discussing something. When they saw Ye Qing come out, they instinctively fell silent, not daring to say anything.

If anyone said the wrong thing now, they would be the one sleeping in their room until tomorrow noon.

"Hubby, do you want to eat lunch now?"

"We'll go get it for you right away."

...

Voices rang out one after another as everyone acted exceptionally attentive.

Just as they were about to move, a knock sounded at the door.

Hmm?!

The door opened.

Li Xian walked in.

"Ye Qing, I have some good news for you..."

Li Xian spoke to Ye Qing with a smile on his face.

As the others listened, they also looked at Ye Qing. Hubby is so amazing, fifth place among the star of huaxia!

"You can also pack up. King Fenghai's order this time is for you all to go to the Jiangcheng Barrier and have Qian Tu protect your Dao while you absorb the king-level exotic beast essence blood."

king-level exotic beast essence blood!

Hearing this, Ye Qing's heart stirred.

After all, when he had come to the Sucheng Barrier's blood pool for tempering before, the blood inside wasn't essence blood. Even so, the power within it was extremely refined and violent!

It had benefited Ye Qing immensely.

If it were king-level exotic beast essence blood, wouldn't it be even more incredible?

With such a good thing, he had to set out immediately.

Ye Qing and the others then began the absorption process.

In the afternoon.

Jinling Barrier.

"Old Man, the star of huaxia rankings have been released!"

Li Xiao's voice came through. Here, Li Mubai was chatting with the Old Man.

star of huaxia?

Hearing this, Li Mubai sighed. He had heard the Old Man mention this before; it was an extremely high honor, and those on the list were all people of stunning talent.

"Dad, why are you so excited? It's just the star of huaxia release. Whether it's released or not has nothing to do with us." Li Mubai waved his hand.

"Hey, you brat, watch your mouth."

"It's true. No one in our Family can make the list. Never mind us, probably not many from the entire Eastern War Zone can make it."

Li Mubai shrugged. Beside him, the Old Man also nodded. What Mubai said was blunt but true.

"Your Brother-in-law made the list! And he's ranked fifth!"

With that one sentence from Li Xiao, both the Old Man and Li Mubai were stunned!

Then, they both suddenly stood up!

What!

Brother-in-law?!

Ye Qing actually made the list?!

In an instant, Li Mubai thought back to his first meeting with Ye Qing, when Ye Qing had killed the Two-Winged Silver Tiger and saved him.

In such a short time, the man had already soared to the heavens.

And he...

Eh, wait, he could also be considered to have soared to the heavens.

After all, he was his Brother-in-law.

When one person achieves the Dao, even his dogs and chickens ascend to heaven!
