Ye Qiu took out his phone and saw that it was an unknown number. He quickly answered and said, “Hello, this is Ye Qiu.”

“Little brother, didn’t you say you were going to find me something to eat? Why haven’t you come back yet?” Lin Jingzhi’s charming voice came through the phone.

Ye Qiu suddenly remembered that Lin Jingzhi was still waiting for him in the hospital room.

Oh no!

This woman is capricious. Once she gets angry, there will be no good outcome for him.

“Sister Lin, I’m sorry. My mom came to the hospital just now, so I took her home. I’ll hurry back to the hospital right away,” Ye Qiu lied.

“Oh, I see. Hurry back, I’m so bored by myself,” Lin Jingzhi said.

“Yeah, I’ll be back soon,” Ye Qiu hung up the phone and said to the Dragon King, “Dragon King, there’s still a patient waiting for me in the hospital. I have to rush back.”

“Zhao Yun, take Little Ye back to the hospital.”

“Yes!”

Zhao Yun immediately drove Ye Qiu back to the hospital.

On the way, Zhao Yun asked, “Ye Qiu, tell me the truth. Can the Dragon King really live for another month?”

“Don’t you trust me?” Ye Qiu asked.

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that the idea of extending life is too unbelievable. And you only gave him a few needles, I didn’t see anything miraculous about it,” Zhao Yun said.

“You’re not the Dragon King, so naturally you can’t feel the magic of the Nine Yang Needle. Anyway, within this month, the Dragon King will eat and sleep well,” Ye Qiu continued, “You guys need to find a way, preferably to find a master to clear the poison from the Dragon King’s body. Otherwise, after a month, no one can save the Dragon King’s life.”

“Understood. I’ll arrange for someone to go to the desert later to find the living Buddha.”

There was silence in the car for a while.

Ye Qiu suddenly remembered something and said, “Zhao, I remember when we came, you told me that the Dragon King is the king of the underground world in Jiangzhou, and he was once a top expert on the Tiger List, right?”

“That’s right.”

“And the Dragon King also said earlier that the head of Wudang Mountain and the head of Dragon and Tiger Mountain are in seclusion to break through to the top of the Dragon List. Did I hear that correctly?”

“You heard correctly.”

“I want to ask, what are the Tiger List and the Dragon List? They sound very powerful.”

“Not only do they sound powerful, they are powerful in reality,” Zhao Yun said, “Do you know about the Forbes Rich List?”

“I know, the people on the list are super billionaires with net worth in the billions or trillions.”

“Similar to the Forbes Rich List, the Dragon List and the Tiger List are rankings, but the difference is that the people on the Forbes Rich List are super billionaires, while those on the Dragon List and the Tiger List are martial arts masters.”

“Martial arts masters?”

Ye Qiu was curious. Martial artists have rankings?

“Let’s talk about the Tiger List first!”

“The Tiger List is updated every five years. When the Dragon Boat Festival arrives on May 5th, martial artists will gather at the Confucius Temple in Jinling to participate in the arena competition. In the end, the top thirty will be listed.”

“Before the Dragon King was poisoned, he was ranked twelfth on the Tiger List, and he was the only top expert on the Tiger List in Jiangzhou.”

“Since being poisoned, the Dragon King’s body has been deteriorating day by day. Five years ago, during the Tiger List competition, the Dragon King voluntarily withdrew without participating.”

“Therefore, it can only be said that he was once a top expert on the Tiger List!”

“What about the Dragon List?” Ye Qiu asked again.

“The Dragon List…” Zhao Yun’s face showed admiration as he said, “If you make it onto the Dragon List, you can be called a grandmaster of martial arts, and your name can be engraved on the stone wall of Mount Tai for future generations to admire.”

“This is the dream of every martial artist!”

“The Dragon List is updated every ten years. On the 15th of August, all the martial arts masters from around the world gather at Mount Tai in Dongyue. Those who want to challenge the top experts on the Dragon List can challenge any of them.”

“Of course, most of those who can challenge the top experts on the Dragon List come from the Tiger List.”

“It’s not ruled out that there are occasionally a few unknown characters with strong abilities.”

“However, the chance of a successful challenge is very small.”

“In fact, the biggest highlight of each update of the Dragon List is the competition between the top experts on the Dragon List.”

“The top experts at the back of the list will challenge those at the front.”

“In short, the top experts on the Dragon List are all very powerful, like unattainable peaks, so powerful that it’s despairing.”

“What kind of people are on the Dragon List?” Ye Qiu couldn’t imagine how high a level of martial arts one must reach to make it onto the Dragon List.

“In the last update of the Dragon List, the heads of Wudang Mountain and Dragon and Tiger Mountain ranked second and third, respectively.”

“The fourth is the abbot of the Dali Tianlong Temple.”

“The fifth is a woman from the Murong family in Gusu.”

“What about the first place?” Ye Qiu was very curious and asked, “Who is the first on the Dragon List?”

“The top spot is… why are you asking about this?” Zhao Yun was puzzled.

Ye Qiu smiled and said, “I’m just curious.”

Only then did Zhao Yun say, “The top spot on the Dragon List is held by Xiao Jiu, the War God of the Northern Territory. He commands a million troops and holds great power, having single-handedly killed five thousand enemies, and is unmatched in bravery. Therefore, he was bestowed the title of Champion Marquis by the current emperor!”

Ten years ago, at Mount Tai in Dongyue, the heads of Wudang Mountain and Dragon and Tiger Mountain simultaneously challenged Xiao Jiu, wanting to break through to the top of the Dragon List. However, when the two of them joined forces, they couldn’t withstand three moves from Xiao Jiu. What’s even more terrifying is that Xiao Jiu is only thirty-five years old this year.”

What?

Only thirty-five years old?

In other words, when Xiao Jiu ascended to the top of the Dragon List, he was only twenty-five years old.

Wow, this is too abnormal!

Ye Qiu was extremely shocked.

“It’s precisely because of this that the heads of Wudang Mountain and Dragon and Tiger Mountain felt deeply humiliated. After they returned, they directly went into seclusion to break through, preparing to avenge their humiliation at the next Dragon List competition.”

“However, in my opinion, the chances of their success are very slim.”

“Because there have been rumors in the martial arts world that Xiao Jiu’s strength is already close to the level of a god, and he might even be ranked among the top experts on the God List.”

“The God List?”

Ye Qiu frowned. What is this?

“I know very little about the God List. I’ve only heard that the God List is updated every thirty years, and the world’s top martial arts masters compete for rankings. The specific location of the competition is unknown,” Zhao Yun said with a smile, “I haven’t even made it onto the Tiger List, so the God List is too far away for me.””If only I could become a master on the Divine Ranking one day,” Ye Qiu suddenly sighed.

“You?” Zhao Yun glanced at him and laughed, “You’d better stick to studying medicine!”

“So little faith in me?”

“Right now, you’re just an ordinary person. Forget the Divine Ranking, even the Dragon Ranking is out of your reach. Give yourself thirty years, and you still wouldn’t make the list.”

“What if one day I become a master on the Dragon Ranking? Zhao Ge, how about you be my underling then?” Ye Qiu joked.

“Sure.”

Zhao Yun didn’t hesitate at all.

In his view, Ye Qiu had no foundation in martial arts whatsoever. Forget the Dragon Ranking, even making it onto the Tiger Ranking was impossible in this lifetime.

“Speaking of which, the Dragon and Tiger Rankings will be updated next year. I wonder if I can squeeze into the Tiger Ranking this time?”

While Zhao Yun was musing, they arrived at the hospital.

Zhao Yun gave his phone number to Ye Qiu and said, “If anyone gives you trouble, call me.”

“Alright.”

After getting out of the car, Ye Qiu headed straight for the special care ward.
