Zhao Changhe looked at Tang Buqi, who was holding a bottle of wine, and asked, "So, are you here to bid farewell?"

Tang Buqi replied naturally, "Yes, in order to avoid you thinking that I'm driving you away, it's better to have a formal farewell with a drink, right?"

Zhao Changhe couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Tang Buqi sat down at the table and said, "Stop practicing for now, take a break. My aunt also told you to slow down, right?"

Zhao Changhe also sat down and smiled, "I am already taking it slow. I am in the process of tempering myself and there's no rush to break through."

"You make it sound like you can break through whenever you want."

Zhao Changhe smiled and remained silent.

Tang Buqi poured him a cup of wine and said with a somewhat melancholic expression, "I said I wanted to go on a journey, but it's not happening."

Zhao Changhe raised his cup and clinked it with Tang Buqi's, "Your training is not much different. It doesn't have to be in the martial world. Actually, I don't know why your aunt thinks it's not suitable for me. I think my method of killing and cultivating is quite suitable for the military..."

Tang Buqi took a sip of wine and said leisurely, "I know."

"Oh?"

"You think that with your martial arts surpassing ordinary soldiers, you can charge into battle like many famous generals in history, right?"

"...Isn't that the case?"

"When reading history, it seems like there are many fierce generals like that, but in reality, there are only a few of them throughout history. Unfortunately, they definitely don't belong to the lowest-ranked list. With our strength, the impact we can make as individuals in the battlefield may not be as effective as a well-trained group of soldiers with spears. With your bravery, it would be more suitable for you to lead a group of elite soldiers as the vanguard, and you could be called a tiger general. But this requires a group of well-coordinated soldiers who can follow your orders. The premise is to train and integrate with the soldiers for a long time, rather than just rushing out on a horse and leading the troops." Tang Buqi smiled mockingly, "How many days can you endure training together in the military camp? How many days do you plan to stay before leaving?"

Zhao Changhe exclaimed, "Hey, it's only been a few days. How did you change so much?"

"A few days?" Tang Buqi widened his eyes, "I've been learning about these things since I was young. Although I haven't really entered the military camp, I still have to study military books. If I fail the assessment, I'll be punished. I must tell you that you are familiar with the person who punished me."

Zhao Changhe remembered the scene where Tang Wanzhuang flipped Tang Buqi over and beat him with a wooden sword. It was so familiar...

Tang Buqi lazily said, "Now that the various families in Suzhou are angry about being deceived by Maitreya, and with Jinling and Yangzhou still in our hands, it's not easy to conquer. This battle may be prolonged for years, with multiple attacks and defenses. This is my home, and I can defend it for a lifetime. Can you, Brother Zhao? Unless you really change your mindset and role, it's really not suitable for you."

Zhao Changhe fell silent for a moment and drank the wine in his cup, "I will take your advice."

Tang Buqi glanced at him for a while and suddenly said, "Why don't you call me 'big nephew' with a playful smile anymore?"

"Um..." Zhao Changhe didn't know how to respond to this. It seemed like he really couldn't bring himself to say it.

Maybe because he never had that thought before, it didn't matter to casually call him that. But now that he had some thoughts, he felt guilty and dared not call him that.

However, Tang Buqi didn't mock him either. He didn't have much mood for it and drank his wine with a somewhat melancholic tone, "Actually, Maitreya does have the meaning of being invincible, but he can't really be a commander. He relies on the talents he has recruited. Some of them are said to be very powerful. For example, the Ten Lives Bodhisattva, who I mentioned earlier, reportedly broke through Hangzhou in just an hour. He is only at the sixth level of Xuan Guan, but he is Maitreya's most valued vanguard general."

He finished his wine again, "I really don't have much confidence... I heard that this Law of Life is extremely cruel, and wherever he goes, nothing grows... What if he breaks in..."

Zhao Changhe said, "You are already much stronger than me... You also said that you have the advantage of the land and the people. He won't be so easy to deal with. Even if you can't defeat him at the beginning, you will improve after a few rounds. We are still young and will make progress."

Tang Buqi shook his head, "Ah, let's not talk about it. In fact, you and I are ultimately people of the martial world. Compared to studying military strategy, I still hope to improve in martial arts. One day, I want to be on the Chaos Chronicles and be admired by the world. That would be truly glorious... If I can really reach the level of my aunt and the others, then leading the troops in battle would be nothing. We can charge and fight as many rounds as we want, and no one can do anything to us. It would be so exhilarating! That's what it means to be able to defeat a million soldiers with one sword. I think you probably think the same way."

Zhao Changhe admitted, "Yes, not just you and me, but most martial artists in this world think the same way."

Tang Buqi said, "Speaking of which, ever since you killed Wan Dongliu last time, the Chaos Chronicles has been quiet. It's strange. You have been shining on the list for the past six months, while others rarely..."

Before he finished speaking, golden light flashed in the sky.

Tang Buqi's wine cup froze in his hand as he looked up in astonishment.

"On the sixth day of the sixth month, during the hottest days of summer..."

"Chili, at the age of twenty-three, advanced to the ninth level of Xuan Guan. On this day, he killed the Northern Spear King Li Changkong of the Great Xia's northern border and took his place on the People's List."

"There is a change in the People's List."

"The 66th on the People's List, the Fox Demon Chili!"

Zhao Changhe looked up at the sky, quietly sipping his wine without saying a word.

Tang Buqi stared blankly for a while, unable to drink his wine anymore, "He's really twenty-three years old, on his birthday... It's like declaring war on His Majesty..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but how could the younger generation not feel a sense of frustration and fear when they saw such a peer?

When he was still an enemy of the clan, he could even make people feel despair.

Zhao Changhe quietly watched, still not answering.

It seemed like he was waiting for something.

Tang Buqi asked in surprise, "Zhao Brother, you..."Before the voice fell, a golden light rose again in the sky.

"Yue Hongling, at the age of twenty, has reached the ninth level of Xuan Guan. Today, she rode alone, broke through the Black Wolf Khan's camp, and killed the Black Wolf King Bo Hu, then left without a trace."

"The Human List has changed."

"Ranked sixty-eight on the Human List, Sunset Divine Sword Yue Hongling!"

So this is how a good nickname is given... Zhao Changhe finally understood. It's all about bragging... The bragging of the Chaos Chronicles is the real bragging!

Only Zhao Changhe could think about nicknames at this time... In the eyes of others, the fact that these two newcomers successively made it onto the Human List was a truly earth-shattering event. Who would have the mind to think about this?

The Heaven, Earth, and Human Lists are different from the Hidden Dragon List. They don't change just because of any achievement. The masters on these lists are very cautious when facing each other. How long has it been since there was any change?

But now there are two changes, and neither of them won after a hard fight. They both "stood out from the crowd" and "killed alone". Their real rankings might be even higher!

Both of them are extremely young newcomers, still considered "juniors" by people who are assessing their potential. Yet in the north of Shenzhou, they have shown the most brilliant starlight of this era.

Zhao Changhe suddenly laughed, remembering Yue Hongling's confident and slightly arrogant demeanor... This is what you wanted, isn't it?

Chi Li had just put on a big show, even choosing to do it on his birthday, just for this moment of glory. He also intended to boost morale and strike at the hearts of the people in the Central Plains when the Northern Hu invaded.

But Yue Hongling quietly cut Chi Li's arrogance in half.

Although she ranked two places lower, Yue Hongling was only twenty and a half years old. Isn't she the most abnormal lister in history?

Moreover, while Chi Li killed a famous figure from the Central Plains, she killed a famous figure from the grasslands. The morale and hearts of the people were directly countered, as if it was intentional.

But she couldn't possibly know what Chi Li was up to. This wasn't intentional, it could only be said to be fate.

Zhao Changhe suddenly wondered, she had been stuck at the ninth level for quite a while. Was this breakthrough related to her travels in the grasslands, or to that dual cultivation session in Yangzhou?

It's likely the latter...

For some reason, she broke away from the thirty-eight and is now thirty-six. This number is good, it's the number of the Heavenly Gang.

Over there, Tang Buqi showed a look of joy, but before he could speak, the Chaos Chronicles seemed to be updating again, and another light rose.

"The Hidden Dragon emerges from the abyss, ascends to the Human List, the Hidden Dragon List moves accordingly, the first on the Hidden Dragon List, Cui Yuanyang."

Far away in Qinghe, Cui Yuanyang looked at the sky, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Being the first seemed a bit unpleasant...

But it wasn't over yet.

"Xia Chichi, at the age of seventeen, has reached the seventh level of Xuan Guan. She assassinated the Northern Buddha of the Maitreya Sect at the Northern Buddha Altar, taking all his followers."

"The Hidden Dragon List has changed."

"Ranked sixth on the Hidden Dragon List, Xia Chichi."

"Cui Yuanyang has been in seclusion for half a year, absorbing the wonders of the Purple Qi of Qinghe, jumping directly to the fifth level of Xuan Guan. On the day she came out of seclusion, she broke through the Nine Bends Yellow River trial formation of the Cui family, earning the qualification to inherit the Qinghe Divine Sword, the Cui family's clan sword technique. At the age of only fifteen, the whole county was shocked."

"The Hidden Dragon List has changed."

"Ranked ninety-nine on the Hidden Dragon List, Cui Yuanyang."

"At this time, dragons and snakes rise from the land."

The whole world's necks were almost sore from looking up, and they had gone from shock to numbness.

It's really a chaotic era...

The last sentence of the Chaos Chronicles was not a comment on Cui Yuanyang, but a comment on the dazzling starlight that filled the sky.

Tang Buqi, who had wanted to speak several times but hadn't, didn't want to say anything anymore... This feeling of rising winds and scudding clouds, as a person on the Hidden Dragon List, how could he not feel a bit of blood boiling?

"What a storm..." He held his wine cup and murmured to himself, "I'm about to fall off the list, beyond the top hundred. That's not where I, Tang Buqi, should be."

"Crack!" The wine cup was unconsciously squeezed and cracked.

Zhao Changhe finally stood up, leisurely took the Dragon Sparrow and put it on his back, "Brother Tang, the Chaos Chronicles saw that we had wine but no food, so it specially sent us this dish to go with the wine. It's too generous... Let's stop drinking. There's no feast that doesn't end. I should go."

"Hey, wait." Tang Buqi asked, "It's almost night, where are you planning to go?"

Zhao Changhe looked up at the sky, where the golden words were still flickering, "No matter where I go, how could I, Zhao Changhe, be absent from this storm?"

As a fantasy novel, this book probably has the least proportion of cultivation-related content on the entire web. This is something that seems boring but can't be omitted, otherwise it would seem strange to master something. It's necessary to show new mental techniques and light skills. I write less about these things in order to advance the plot as much as possible, not to make it difficult for myself when I need to write a chapter and get criticized.

It's simply bullying, and in the end, they say it's because I have a bad temper.

Forget it, I won't say anymore, there will be an extra update tonight, the final chapter of the volume.
