Urban Invincible Medical Divine-Chapter 569 - 335 Cheers_5
Liu Wentian felt somewhat disappointed. After all this fuss, the most powerful person on the Heavenly Cloud List was merely at the peak of King Martial. At most, only the cream of the crop within that realm.
As long as he could obtain the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he needed, he was confident that he could reach the peak of King Martial within a few years, and the higher the quality of the materials, the shorter the time required.
Of course, although he was somewhat contemptuous of that Divine King in his heart, there was no doubt that if he encountered him now, he would be defeated with a single punch.
"Liu Wentian, the Saint King has high expectations for you. He hopes that you will be listed on the Heavenly Cloud List within three years, and enter the top 30 after twenty years. Don't let him down!" Zheng Hongtao said earnestly. As he spoke these words, he was inwardly astonished and somewhat unable to understand why the Saint King had such high regard for Liu Wentian.
Even if he became a powerful King Martial practitioner at a young age, wasn't this demand a bit too high?
However, if Liu Wentian really could make it into the top 30 of the Heavenly Cloud List, then the international influence of Blood Night would also climb to the next level.
Could it be that the Saint King intends to cultivate him as the new Saint King?
Just as Zheng Hongtao had this thought, he shook his head. Although Liu Wentian was strong, there were even more monstrous figures in Blood Night!
Upon hearing this, Liu Wentian chuckled and raised his eyebrows, "What if I said that I could become the number one on this Heavenly Cloud List within ten years, would you believe me?"
Zheng Hongtao replied irritably, "Whether I believe it or not? Stop joking around, that's not funny at all!"
If he hadn't been wary of the fact that Liu Wentian's rank was even higher than his, he would have burst into a tirade. An elite ranking that no one in their older generation had hoped to enter, and you're going to become the number one within ten years? That's just absurd!
Liu Wentian just laughed and didn't insist, but then he curiously asked, "By the way, Elder Jiang must have made it onto the list, right?"
"Of course!" Zheng Hongtao said proudly. "The Saint King is ranked sixteenth on the Heavenly Cloud List, one step away from the King Martial Peak. Besides him, Blood Night currently has two other powerful figures listed as well!"
In Huaxia's special institutions, three people being listed on the Heavenly Cloud List might seem small. But in fact, the list includes all sorts of beings, assassins, mercenaries, black market, Taoist Masters, ancient families, and so forth, so having three people listed was already quite significant.
Most small countries, through their entire nation, might not even have one Heavenly Cloud List powerful figure!
"Sixteenth?" Liu Wentian curled his lips. It seemed Elder Jiang wasn't all that impressive. Then again, just being a charm later stage and a step away from King Martial Peak was enough to deal with the current him...
"So, who is the highest ranked on the Heavenly Cloud List from our Huaxia?"
Liu Wentian asked again like a curious baby. He couldn't help it; the ancient martial artists he had seen at the Guangnan Province Martial Path conference were just too underwhelming. Suddenly finding out that there was a Heavenly Cloud List existence, it's natural to have a lot of questions.
Zheng Hongtao's expression suddenly turned complex, tinged with pride and helplessness,
"The highest ranked one is from the Zhu Family in the capital, called the number one person in contemporary Huaxia, ranked fifth on the Heavenly Cloud List. But that was many years ago, and it is estimated he is even stronger now. Not only him, but even his child is a peerless genius, currently on the Heavenly Cloud List as well! Alas, the Zhu Family, being the foremost amongst Huaxia's four great Ancient Martial Arts Families, truly seems a bit excessively strong; even we in Blood Night need to be wary of them."
Huaxia's four great Ancient Martial Arts Families??
Liu Wentian was momentarily stunned by the term, but he didn't ask further, estimating it was probably something similar to the Seven Top Level Families of Huaxia, just a different small world.
What he was more concerned about was the person Zheng Hongtao mentioned, ranked fifth on the Heavenly Cloud List, which was much higher than Elder Jiang's sixteenth.
If he had the chance in the future, he would quite like to meet him. Of course, not now; going now would simply be masochistic.
Yet, he still felt confused. With Huaxia's official backing Blood Night, why would they still have no way to deal with the Zhu Family?
Seeing his confusion, Zheng Hongtao smiled wryly, "You might not understand. The Zhu Family has been handed down for hundreds of years with a long history. It's not only the premier family among the four great families in the Ancient Martial World but also the leading household among the secular world's seven top level families, called Huaxia's number one family. They wield incomparable influence in the political, military, and business spheres of the Ancient Martial World, tantamount to the existence of a small country. How could you shake them up just because you want to?"

Now, Liu Wentian was truly startled.
Huaxia's number one family, comparable to a small country – that really was somewhat inconceivable.
"Alright, I've said what's needed. Don't think too much about it. Although you're formidable, the Heavenly Cloud List is ultimately still far from you now, let alone the Zhu Family. You mustn't provoke them. Now, I will take you to visit the Blood Night base in Shenming City, introduce you to the people from Blood Night here, and get to know each other," Zheng Hongtao said. His smile turned a bit mischievous as he continued, "Oh, and by the way, those youngsters are quite arrogant. When you meet them later, show them you mean business. Let them understand there are always bigger fish, or else without a good scare, they won't know the value of rigorous cultivation!"
After finishing, seeing that Liu Wentian seemed not too interested, Zheng Hongtao thought for a moment, chuckled with a heh, and added, "By the way, here in Shenming City, there's a famously beautiful woman in all of Blood Night. And recently, there's also a genius hacker loli with a baby-face who's come around – both very proud and tough to deal with, if you know what I mean!"
