I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 193: Chapter 113: Bai Xiaosheng, Hidden Dragon List

"The Demon Alliance..."

Fang Xing mulled over this faction.

For a behemoth like this to be mentioned by a Celestial Martial Saint... to him, it was a towering tree whose top he couldn’t even hope to see.

An existence even more terrifying than the Evil Cults.

Its power even surpassed the foundation of an entire nation.

No wonder the Demons and Monsters were so rampant. With a power like this backing them, they could run amok without restraint.

The individual strength of Demons and Monsters was already immense.

Among those of the same rank, Demons and Monsters definitely held the upper hand. Relying on one’s own power alone, it was rare to find anyone capable of killing a Demon or Monster of an equal level.

Magical Treasures, Martial Dao Secret Techniques, Top-Level Divine Skills...

Only by relying on these could one hope to claim a sliver of victory against the Demons and Monsters.

Although he could slay Demons and Monsters of the same realm and even kill High Realm Great Demons far above his level, all of this was built upon his Divine Skills having reached Great Success.

He had cultivated more than one type of Divine Skill.

The Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt, the Red Fire Divine Skill, the Longevity Technique—any single one of these was an Ultimate Skill, a Divine Skill sufficient to dominate a region.

He had strengthened Demon and Monster Cores and absorbed Divine Beast Essence to achieve his current strength.

All of this, he had earned step by step, carving a path with his own hands.

Nothing was achieved overnight.

He wasn’t born with this kind of power.

When he first transmigrated, he was almost killed.

Pulling chestnuts from the fire in a world of chaos, snatching life from the jaws of danger!

Even now, he still felt as if he were treading on thin ice.

This world was too insane; there was always a higher mountain.

"Sir, just how powerful is this Demon Alliance?" Fang Xing asked Yuan Tiangang, looking at him curiously.

"How powerful..." Yuan Tiangang swirled the teacup in his hand and gazed up at the sky.

"Vast. So vast it blots out the sky!"

Yuan Tiangang sighed softly.

Those few words plunged Fang Xing into silence.

’So vast it blots out the sky!’

For a Celestial Martial Saint to offer such an evaluation, it must be something far beyond his imagination.

"Thank you for imparting this knowledge, Sir. Your subordinate will take it to heart," Fang Xing said to Yuan Tiangang, his expression serious.

Before, he knew nothing about the factions of the Demons and Monsters, but now, he at least knew about the power behind them.

This was a process of growth.

As his strength climbed, so too did his horizons expand.

As for dealing with the Demon Alliance, Fang Xing didn’t entertain the thought. At least, not right now.

This was called facing reality!

Before the Demon Alliance, his strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree, or a mayfly gazing upon the vast blue sky!

Having confidence in oneself was one thing; being a frog in a well was another matter entirely.

Yuan Tiangang smiled at him. "This is nothing you wouldn’t have learned eventually. But I almost forgot to congratulate you."

Fang Xing: "???"

’Congratulate me?’

Hearing Yuan Tiangang’s last words, Fang Xing was stunned.

Yuan Tiangang chuckled, and a newspaper materialized out of thin air.

"Take a look."

"You’ll understand once you read it," Yuan Tiangang said with a smile.

Fang Xing looked at the newspaper before him, and five large words entered his vision.

Great Jing Martial World Times

He had heard of this; it was the Jianghu Daily, published by a certain faction in the Jianghu.

Bai Xiaosheng!

This wasn’t a person’s name, but the name of a faction.

Its full name: Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng!

Covering strange news, peculiar events, and all matters great and small in the Jianghu, almost anything could be found in the Jianghu Daily.

In nearly every prefecture, county, state, and city, the influence of Bai Xiaosheng had taken root.

Not only was it knowledgeable about every Jianghu Influence, but the Bai Xiaosheng organization itself was terrifyingly powerful. Though not listed among the Martial Dao Upper Sects, it possessed strength no less than theirs.

It had countless experts.

Once, Bai Xiaosheng published a scandalous story about a certain Martial Dao Upper Sect, provoking the sect’s fury. They retaliated, annihilating several of Bai Xiaosheng’s city strongholds.

But in the end, Bai Xiaosheng launched a thunderous counterattack, heavily wounding the Martial Dao Upper Sect. It was even rumored that the sect’s Sect Leader Venerable was beaten so badly he was left vomiting blood.

The affair only ended when that Martial Dao Upper Sect personally came forward to apologize to the Bai Xiaosheng organization and paid ten million gold coins in compensation.

With that one battle, the Bai Xiaosheng organization made its name!

Its fame shook the world!

Though not a Martial Dao Upper Sect, it possessed a foundation and strength no less than one.

In all of Great Jing, it was one of a kind.

There were rumors that Bai Xiaosheng was actually established by the Great Jing Court, personally overseen by each successive Emperor.

Its purpose was to counterbalance the Jianghu Influences and maintain insight into all under heaven.

Fang Xing had only learned of this information from the ancient records at the Observatory.

However, he hadn’t paid too much attention to these matters.

His gaze swept over the paper, and on the front page of the Jianghu Times, he saw a piece of information.

The Hidden Dragon List!

First Place: Hong Miaojin, Great Jing Observatory! Cultivation: True Essence Great Perfection!

Second Place: Meng Tianji, Supreme Dao Sect! Cultivation: True Essence Great Perfection!

Third Place: Yu Linglong, Taiqing Upper Sect! Cultivation: True Essence Great Perfection!

...

As he read down the list, Fang Xing’s heart pounded in his chest.

’Good heavens, they’re practically all experts in the True Essence Realm.’

’Great Jing is brimming with talent!’

There were many in the True Gang Realm as well!

And at the very bottom, Fang Xing saw his own name.

One Hundredth Place: Fang Xing, Great Jing Observatory! Cultivation: True Qi Realm Sixth Layer!

Fang Xing: "..."

On the Hidden Dragon List, his Cultivation was the lowest of all.

A mere True Qi Realm Sixth Layer!

As for the others, without exception, the lowest Cultivation was at the True Gang Realm. The top fifty were even uniformly in the True Essence Realm.

And when it came to the top ten, they were almost all at True Essence Realm Great Perfection.

His True Qi Realm Cultivation, it could be said, was exceptionally conspicuous.

"The Hidden Dragon List..."

Fang Xing thought back for a moment and quickly recalled something.

It seemed to be a list of young prodigies compiled by the Bai Xiaosheng organization.

The Hidden Dragon List: for those no older than thirty, at the True Qi Realm or above. Anyone who met the criteria could be ranked!
