Chapter 833: 'Xiao Wanfeng's Name Shakes the Yunlun Mountains'

Points Leaderboard.

Rank 9425: Xiao Wanfeng, hurry to the east to find Ben Shao, points: 100.

Rank 987: Xiao Wanfeng, hurry to the east to find Ben Shao, points: 600.

Rank 72: Xiao Wanfeng, hurry to the east to find Ben Shao, points: 1300.

Rank 9: Xiao Wanfeng, hurry to the east to find Ben Shao, points: 5400.

Night fell.

In just half a day, Xu Xiaoshou had surged into the top ten of the points leaderboard.

Even though the eastern region was barren and resource-poor, it couldn't stop the "Xu Gang" from expanding like a rampant tumor.

The east had gone mad with killing.

For all solo fighters and small groups of trial participants, encountering the terrifying encirclement of the Xu Gang left only two outcomes.

Run away.

Those who ran fast enough escaped being plundered.

Those who were too slow ended up becoming members of the Xu Gang...

In just half a day, the Xu Gang had grown from its initial seventy members to over five hundred.

At first, the Five Tiger Generals resented Xu Shao's methods.

They even didn't want to put in full effort.

But by nightfall, their mindsets had completely changed.

Oh, what a blessing for the Five Tiger Generals!

Under normal circumstances, with just their five strengths, how could they command over a hundred subordinates?

Yet now, whenever they encountered someone, Xu Shao would step in, and that person had no choice but to submit.

Later, they didn't even need Xu Shao to act.

Any one of the Five Tiger Generals could order over a hundred gang members to bombard the enemy, and without a fight, the enemies would surrender their weapons.

"Xu Shao, here are the latest Yun Zhu we've dug up."

At the campfire in front of the camp tent, where meat was being grilled, one of the Five Tiger Generals, Tai Xing, held a ring and brought the newest sixteen Yun Zhu.

He stared at the thunder giant bear paw roasting on the fire, couldn't help swallowing hard.

"It's so fragrant, Xu Shao must be from a culinary family—my family's chef doesn't have skills like this!"

Tai Xing was also a young talent, over eight feet tall with a balanced build, wielding a fifth-grade Ling Jian in his hand, exuding an extraordinary air.

But after half a day, he was already calling out "Xu Shao" smoothly, without any discomfort.

"Here you are?"

Xu Xiaoshou pointed to a spot next to Xin Gugu by the campfire, took the ring, pulled out the Yun Zhu, and said with a smile, "Then sit down and have some!"

Tai Xing excitedly squatted down, cut a piece of the thunder giant bear paw meat, and started munching away next to Xin Gugu.

The two guardians by Xu Shao's side were no ordinary people!

In just half a day, any Zongshi-level spirit beast they couldn't defeat was taken down almost instantly by these two.

Like this thunder giant bear, which was near Zongshi peak strength and had routed the Xu Gang, Xin Gugu appeared and finished it off with one palm. If anyone said he wasn't at Zongshi level, Tai Xing would be the first to disagree.

"It's so delicious!"

As he gnawed on the bear paw meat, Tai Xing felt an explosion of happiness, his face full of bliss.

The meat was incredibly tender and had a medicinal aroma—purely nourishing.

After half a day, everyone in the Xu Gang knew that swordsmanship wasn't Xu Shao's specialty; alchemy was.

This man in front of them was the legendary fourth-grade Dan Wang seat.

An ordinary Zongshi spirit meat, when grilled by him, not only smelled amazing but also faintly carried the effects of Zongshi spirit medicine.

In short, Xu Shao had maximized the nourishing properties of the spirit meat to an unparalleled level.

"I'm about to break through..."

After finishing a large piece of bear paw, Tai Xing felt his cultivation becoming hard to suppress, so he looked at Xu Xiaoshou.

"Go ahead, I'll protect you."

Xu Xiaoshou nodded with a smile.

Among the Five Tiger Generals, Tai Xing was the last one at Xiantian level.

The others had all eaten a few of his grilled meats, couldn't suppress their cultivation, and had broken through to become Zongshi one after another.

Without Zongshi Tian Xiang realm, they couldn't manage over a hundred young talents from the Five Domains.

"Understood."

Tai Xing nodded, sat cross-legged.

Soon.

His Qi Sea surged like a tide, the campfire blazed.

Dao principles manifested, Tian Xiang formed.

Tai Xing broke through to Zongshi.

"How did it go?"

Xu Xiaoshou asked curiously, and Xin Gugu and Liu Changqing turned their heads.

"I didn't disappoint—Zongshi Tian Xiang realm... peak!"

Tai Xing was very excited; he had suppressed his cultivation for over two years just for the Sheng Gong trial.

Now, inside this Wang City, with Xu Shao's promise of making it into the top thirty-six of the points leaderboard, he had no reservations.

He broke through directly to Zongshi Tian Xiang realm peak.

"Not bad. With you, our Xu Gang now has five at Zongshi Tian Xiang realm peak, and we're all just one step away from Yin Yang realm."

Xu Xiaoshou nodded in approval.

The Yun Jing world had rules: as long as you didn't get eliminated early and held out until the end, the top thirty-six on the points leaderboard would have their Zongshi abilities stripped away, returning them to their initial Xiantian realm.

Then, the trial participants would receive "Yun Jing Source Crystals." Once they entered the Sheng Gong trial and swallowed one, they could restore their peak cultivation.

This was a benefit arranged by Cheng Ji.

Xu Xiaoshou was confident he could get his Five Tiger Generals into the top thirty-six, so they could break through without worry.

"Later, we'll find some treasures that can help you sense Dao principles, or once the points leaderboard stabilizes, we'll use the Yun Zhu for you first. I believe Yin Yang realm isn't far off."

Xu Xiaoshou said with a smile.

"Thank you, Xu Shao!"

Tai Xing was thrilled.

Everyone already knew Xu Shao wasn't aiming for the top of the points leaderboard.

He just wanted to reach the top ten, make a big splash, and summon the people from his Tian Shang First Tower to the eastern region.

At first, no one believed Xu Shao's words.

But ever since that long promotional message shot up into the top ten of the points leaderboard, everyone believed it.

"Xiao Wanfeng, hurry to the east to find Ben Shao..."

Thinking of that trial participant's name, Tai Xing felt quite speechless.

He had no idea what Xu Shao was thinking when he engraved his name like that.

And he wondered what others would think when they saw Xu Shao's rapid rise on the leaderboard with that name.

The night grew deep.

Across the Yun Lun Mountains, trial participants stopped their hunts for spirit beasts and searches for Yun Zhu, beginning to rest and recover.

But during their breaks, they all glanced at the points leaderboard.

"It's risen again." Someone was clearly keeping an eye on it.

"He's already in the top ten, rank nine!"

"Scary—who is this 'Xiao Wanfeng, hurry to the east to find Ben Shao'? How can someone with a name like that climb the ranks so fast?"

Obviously, Xu Xiaoshou's long name was incredibly eye-catching.

"I noticed this name when it first appeared around nine thousand ranks."

"No way around it—it's so long, you have to scroll the display to see the full thing. It's hilarious."

"But who would've thought that in just half a day, this funny name went from nine thousand-something to ninth place—a thousandfold jump!" someone marveled.

"Keep in mind, everyone else has been pushing hard too. For 'Xiao Wanfeng, hurry to the east to find Ben Shao' to reach ninth, he must be the leader of a big group."

"Exactly. I don't know who the leader is, but Xiao Wanfeng is going to be famous—over thirty thousand trial participants probably remember his name now!"

Under the starry night, people all over the Yun Lun Mountains were discussing "Xiao Wanfeng."

Xiao Wanfeng himself probably never imagined he'd become famous because of someone else's name related to him.

In the north.

In a secluded mountain cave, a purple-haired, bare-chested young man leaned on a Xuan Zhong long spear, staring at the points leaderboard in his hand, silent for a long time.

"Impressive!"

"With my 'Sou Yun Pan', I can find and hunt Yun Beasts, staying far ahead of everyone on the leaderboard. But this Xiao Wanfeng, just piling up with Yun Zhu, made it to the top ten."

"How many people must he have gathered to win by sheer numbers?"

"If he runs into a few Yun Beasts, won't he knock me off the top spot?"

After a pause, the muscular, bare-chested young man Chong Yuan chuckled.

"No."

"Even if he does run into Yun Beasts, with his near-Wang Zuo realm and that physics-immune 'Yun Ti', who in the entire Yun Lun Mountains can stand against him?"

"Not everyone breaks through and reaches Xing Si realm right away!"

Chong Yuan stepped out of the cave, gazing at the stars, full of ambition.

He had suppressed his cultivation for three years.

Who could imagine the humiliation he endured, all for the Sheng Gong trial?

On this Yun Lun Mountains journey, he aimed to defeat everyone.

"Xiao Wanfeng..."

"Hah, pray you don't run into me!"

In the south.

Jiang Xian led his group of over three hundred people to the valley of Yue Ya Mountain.

On the branches of a bare old huai tree sat a girl in a red ling pong pong skirt, wrapped head to toe in bandages, with only her two bright eyes showing.

She swung her legs there in the pale moonlight, letting the bells at her ankles jingle, as if unafraid that the sound would summon trouble in the night.

"Black Heart Fruit Clan, Duo Er."

Jiang Xian spotted her identity from afar, stopped his companions from acting, and called out, "Duo Er, we're both heirs of Ban Sheng. How about we team up and conquer this Yun Lun Mountains together?"

His voice carried on the wind, drifting for a long time without a response.

"Hmm hmm hmm"

Duo Er just hummed her Black Heart Fruit Clan's lullaby on the branch, savoring the bloody scent of a day's battles in the southern region, her eyes half-closed, enjoying the night's peace.

"Duo Er?"

"Hmm hmm hmm"

"Duo Er!"

"Hmm hmm hmm"

After Jiang Xian called three times with no answer, his face darkened. He raised his voice: "The Black Heart Gu passed down in the Black Heart Fruit Clan—I, the Jiang Clan, have Ban Sheng Jing Guang, which isn't afraid of it!"

Duo Er's ears twitched, her eyes lit up, and she tilted her head, her voice clear like a sparrow: "You want to fight me?"

Jiang Xian was stunned, then angrily said: "No, it's cooperation!"

"Not interested. Get lost. Your name sounds awful—I don't want to work with you. I want to work with this Xiao Wanfeng."

On the branch, the little girl pointed at her trial jade pendant, her gaze intense.

Jiang Xian was furious.

This was his first time meeting someone from the Black Heart Fruit Clan, and he hadn't expected her to be so childish, with a completely illogical way of thinking.

"Jiang Shao, we could surround her and take her down directly!" someone suggested nearby.

After a whole day, Duo Er was still second on the points leaderboard.

Everyone assumed this girl must have a large army of trial participants under her.

But tonight, scouting Yue Ya, she turned out to be alone—this was an opportunity!

Everyone felt tempted.

"Foolish!" Jiang Xian snapped, scolding, "I have the Jiang Clan's Ban Sheng Jing Guang, but what do you have to resist her Black Heart Gu? You think we win just because we outnumber her?"

He pointed to the wild mountain terrain: "This is the Black Heart Fruit Clan's battlefield. The moment we fight, tens of thousands of Black Heart Gu will swarm out. Forget a few hundred Xiantian—even a few hundred Zongshi would be wiped out in an instant!"

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Tens of thousands of Black Heart Gu could instantly destroy hundreds of Zongshi?

What kind of power was that?

Were people from the South Domain all so strange and terrifying?

"Let's go!"

Jiang Xian saw Duo Er didn't want to cooperate, so he turned to leave with his group.

At that moment, the girl on the branch, swinging her legs, smiled and asked from afar: "Earlier today, I saw your big group had over five hundred people. How come you only have this many left?"

Jiang Xian paused, his face darkening. He didn't want to explain, but worried about angering this unpredictable little girl, he replied without looking back: "We ran into a sword-wielding madman. Let's move!"

The last part was to his group.

"A sword-wielding madman..."

On the old huai tree, Duo Er twirled her fingers, her tone odd, muttering to herself: "Impressive... Coming to the East Domain and daring to mess with someone who uses a sword. My master said that in the East Domain Sword God Heaven, anyone who wields a sword... even if they're just ordinary people, isn't to be trifled with."

She raised her little fist, pumped up: "But if they're Zongshi or Wang Zuo, then they can be killed—the stronger the cultivation, the weaker the sword skills!"

With that, she turned back to her trial jade pendant, staring intently at that long string of names.

"Xiao Wanfeng, what a nice-sounding name..."

Duo Er curled her little finger, murmuring absentmindedly: "I hope you look as good as your name, with the night dark and the evening breeze gentle... Otherwise... heh heh."

At the same time, in other places, too many people were paying attention to the name "Xiao Wanfeng."

Some from East Tian Wang City could tell at a glance it was Xu Shao's way of addressing, but most who didn't know just called it "Xiao Wanfeng."

And Xiao Wanfeng himself, upon seeing that name, clung to it like a lifeline.

"The east..." Su Qianqian held the trial jade pendant, gazing toward the east.

"Xu Shao is there!"

Xiao Wanfeng trembled, walking on thin ice. He didn't know what this little girl wanted with Xu Shao, but whether good or bad, getting her to Xu Shao would solve the problem.

My little beast brother is there...

Su Qianqian smiled, jumped off the rock, and said: "Let's travel through the night to the east."

"Uh, you're serious?"

Xiao Wanfeng was shocked—this person was even more urgent than him?

Traveling at night was way too dangerous.

The Yun Lun Mountains hid not just Xiantian or Zongshi-level spirit beasts.

To go from west to east, they'd have to pass through the core area of Jiu Long Mai, where even Wang Zuo-level spirit beasts were said to lurk!

"Don't worry, I'll protect you."

Su Qianqian glanced back with a smile and kept walking.

Xiao Wanfeng sighed deeply.

What kind of people are these? The ones around Xu Shao were never normal, and now even those who know him are turning out to be so terrifying.

"Let's go. I just hope nothing unexpected happens on the way to the east."
