Chapter 430 Ranking List (Subscription Request)

Hengyang City in the drizzle has a unique Jiangnan charm.

The Liu family's mansion in the main city has a lush courtyard with cornices and brackets, giving it the appearance of a wealthy mansion.

The originally spacious courtyard in the front yard was now transformed into a large martial arts training ground.

At this time, dozens of young people were practicing Hengshan Swordsmanship in the drizzle on the martial arts ground.

Hengshan swordsmanship emphasizes agility and illusion, just like the continuous drizzle in front of you, and also like the beautiful mountains and rivers near Hengyang.

Dozens of standard long swords of the Hengshan Sect were seen. In the drizzle, the swords were shining continuously, and they had the dynamic meaning of the undulating mountains and rivers. They seemed to be integrated with the current environment.

At this time, two figures, one tall and one short, emerged from the corridor in the front yard. They stood on the corridor covered by the eaves, quietly staring at the disciples practicing diligently in the drizzle.

The two of them, one with a face that seemed to have endless melancholy, was Mr. Mo Da, the leader of the Hengshan Sect.

The other short, fat, middle-aged man was Liu Zhengfeng, the master of the Liu Mansion and the number two figure of the Hengshan Sect.

If the two of them stood together so peacefully when the story of Swordsman began, they would definitely attract special attention.

But at this time, there are still about ten years before the plot begins, and there are no rumors of disagreement between the two in the world, so this scene will naturally not be surprising.

"Not bad, not bad. The dozens of disciples under my junior brother are all quite good in martial arts!"

After watching it for a while, Mo Da was the first to comment: "Their Huifeng Luoyan Sword Technique has reached the level of entering the palace. As long as they work hard for another three or two years, they can reach the level of mastery!"

"Hey, aren't you excited by the ranking competition created by the Beggar Clan Yuezhou?"

Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help but sneered and said with disdain: "If they don't work hard, they will be at the bottom of the list. How can they still walk in the world?"

"Ranking in the ring competition?"

Mo Da asked in confusion: "What is that?"

"That's it!"

Liu Zhengfeng took out a small booklet with fine paper from his pocket, handed it to Mo Da, and explained: "A few years ago, Jia Huan, the leader of the Yuezhou branch of the Beggar Clan, a famous beggar in the world, suddenly came to visit. !”

"On the one hand, he is discussing the possibility of jointly cleaning up the banditry in Hunan Province and cooperating against the Jiangyang bandits who are wanted by the government; on the other hand, he is proposing to let his Beggar Gang brothers communicate with the official disciples of the Hengshan Sect on a regular basis!"

"Senior brother was not in the sect at that time, and junior brother Lu had some prejudice against knights and beggars, so it was difficult to mobilize other formal disciples in the sect, so I asked my disciples to test it out first!"

"I originally thought that this matter was just a petty quarrel between heroes and beggars, but I thought it was wrong!"

"Oh, look at the rankings in this book, Wudang's official disciples are also among them!"

While listening, Mo Da carefully flipped through the pamphlet in his hand. He was quickly attracted by the content in the pamphlet and spoke smoothly.

The content in the brochure is actually very simple, there is nothing difficult to understand, it is just pure ranking.

The first one is an official disciple of the Wudang Sect. He is somewhat famous in the world, but Mo Da only hears about it occasionally.

The second to fifth placeholders are all official disciples of the Wudang Sect. Some of their names have been heard of, while others are quite unfamiliar.

There is no problem with this. After all, he is an official disciple of the Wudang Sect, one of the Big Dippers in the martial arts world. It is normal to have such strength.

But the next ranking surprised him, and even found it incredible.

From the sixth place to the twentieth place, most of them are disciples of the Beggar Clan!

Although there are some official disciples of Wudang Clan and one or two guys from small gangs mixed in among them, they are already quite impressive.

When did the Beggar Clan disciples become so valuable?

Especially when he saw that Xiang Danian, a disciple of his junior brother Liu Zhengfeng, was only ranked ninth, Mi Weiyi was ranked fifteenth, and his third disciple Li Fangping was just at the bottom of the ladder, ranked twentieth.

As for the ranking of other disciples, it’s okay not to mention it.

"I didn't expect that the beggar would actually persuade the Wu-Tang Clan!"

Liu Zhengfeng sighed: "In the beginning, the Beggar Clan disciples and Wudang official disciples competed and exchanged ideas, as well as my disciples' discussions and exchanges were still separate, and there were no outsiders involved!"

"But as time goes by, the number of times increases, and with the emergence of such ranking books, the reputation gradually grows!"

"I don't know what Xia Beggar is thinking. After communicating and sparring with my disciples twice, he took the initiative to come to discuss whether it can be merged with the arena competition where Wudang's formal disciples communicate and learn?"

"I didn't think much about it at the time. I felt that it would be a good way for my disciples to communicate and learn from the official Wudang disciples on a regular basis. It would at least broaden their horizons!"

"I just didn't expect that with the widespread circulation of the ranking list and the participation of other talented people of the same age group, the exchanges and discussions between the Xia Beggar Organization will become more and more popular!"

Speaking of this, Liu Zhengfeng chuckled and said: "Especially the widespread circulation of the ranking list, which greatly stimulates the disciples and forces them to work hard to practice!"

Pointing at the disciples who were practicing diligently in the drizzle, he chuckled and said, "It's okay to lose to the official disciples of Wudang, but they can't even compare to the disciples of the Beggar Clan. These guys are really suffocating in their hearts!"

"The beggar is really good at what he does!"

Mo Da closed the ranking book and sighed: "With just this method, I force my motivated disciples to work hard to improve themselves!"

As the head of the Hengshan Sect, although he is not so qualified, his vision is not bad.

"Yes, the speed of the rise of Xia Beggar is very amazing!"

Liu Zhengfeng sighed repeatedly: "Not only is he keen on chivalry and justice, he has a very good reputation in the world, and his own strength has also improved rapidly. He is the youngest first-class master in the world!"

"He severely injured the four kings of the Salt Gang within a hundred moves, and was able to fight the old man of the Yellow River Gang to a draw. I'm afraid his martial arts are not much worse than mine!"

"That's nothing!"

He paused here and said helplessly: "This guy's means of training disciples is also quite powerful. Just the formation of the ring competition and the ranking list have made many of his Beggar Gang brothers stand out!"

Take the ranking list handed over by Mo Da, patted the cover and said leisurely: "In my opinion, anyone who can be ranked in the top 20 of the ranking list can at least achieve the second-rate level of the world in the future!"

Mo Da nodded silently and agreed with Liu Zhengfeng's statement.

"Brother, let the other disciples of Hengshan Sect join us!"

Liu Zhengfeng said solemnly: "Once every six months, it's just right for them to compare their strengths, and at the same time stimulate these guys!"

As the Demon Cult withdrew its minions and stopped fighting fiercely with the Five Mountains Sword Sect, the Five Mountains Sword Sect had a rare period of peace.

But the problem is that during this rare period of peace, except for the Songshan Sect and the Taishan Sect, the other three sects of the Five Mountains Sword Sect all showed a clear lack of successors.

For example, Liu Zhengfeng, as the second in command of the Hengshan Sect, the actual leader, has many disciples, but none of them can take the lead.

The eldest disciple Xiang Danian is calm and honest, and he is also very talented in martial arts.

But now he is in his early twenties, and his strength has just reached the late third-rate level of the Jianghu!

This strength is far worse than that of the previous generation at the same time.

You know, at the same age, Liu Zhengfeng's strength has reached the second-rate level of the Jianghu.

Even the unpopular Lu Lianrong, at this age, has reached the peak of the third-rate in the martial arts world, otherwise he would not have the courage to go down the mountain.

At that time, the threat of the Demon Cult was like a huge stone pressing on his heart, and he dared not neglect it at all.

If he was walking in the martial arts world, he might die under the cruel means of the Demon Cult thieves if he was not careful.

Although the Hengshan Sect at this time only had Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng, and Lu Lianrong who barely entered the first-class level of the martial arts world to support the facade, there were many elders with second-rate strength in the martial arts world.

But in the next generation, it is obvious that the improvement in strength is too slow.

In the story of Xiaoao, Liu Zhengfeng's apprentices are almost the same as chores, without many outstanding performances, and only loyalty is worthy of praise.

Now that there is a platform that can help his disciples quickly improve their strength, he is naturally happy to add fuel to the fire.

In addition, it is also the rapid rise of the chivalrous beggar that makes Liu Zhengfeng, the invisible head of the Hengshan Sect, feel a lot of pressure.

The geographical location of the Beggars' Sect headquarters is awkward, but as a neighbor, Hengshan Sect naturally keeps a close eye on the Beggars' Sect.

Once the Beggars' Sect becomes powerful, it will definitely not be a good thing for Hengshan Sect!

At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng feels the pressure!

Otherwise, he would not agree to the idea proposed by his competitor Xia Beggar.

He has to agree. If he doesn't agree, Hengshan Sect will fall behind. How can this be possible?

"Okay!"

Mo Da naturally didn't know what Liu Zhengfeng was thinking, but just nodded in agreement.

He is not a qualified leader. His personality is too indifferent, and his management ability is also quite average, or even bad.

Otherwise, the leader of Hengshan Sect is not so famous in the world, and the first impression he gives is not very good. He is more like a bad old man who relies on playing erhu to make a living.

With such an image and deeds, Hengshan Sect has been able to occupy the middle position of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Liu Zhengfeng, the second in command, has made great contributions.

Mo Da also has self-knowledge, and at the same time is quite tired of the trivial internal affairs of the sect.

Therefore, he would not easily refuse Liu Zhengfeng's proposal, let alone if it was a good thing.

If the strength of his disciples could be improved rapidly, or even a talented person could emerge, Mo Da would be eager for this and would definitely give up the position of the headmaster at the first time.

Even if such a talented person did not appear, he could save a lot of trouble and his burden would be much lighter if the strength of his disciples improved.

Liu Zhengfeng and Mo Da knew all these things, but they did not mean to make it clear.

In fact, the current model of Hengshan Sect is not bad. If it can be stable for 20 to 30 years, Hengshan Sect will definitely be able to pass on steadily.

Of course, they also know that such an idea is not realistic!

Jianghu is a place of fame and fortune. A short period of peace does not mean that such peace can be maintained forever. That is impossible.

At this time, the training of Xiang Danian, Mi Weiyi and other disciples also came to an end. They put away their swords and walked quickly towards the two big guys.

"Master, headmaster, why are you here?"

"I saw that you were practicing seriously, so I didn't disturb you!"
