My Hidden Strength Was Exposed by the Heavenly Dao Ranking List – Chapter 2

Chapter 2: The Battle for the Hidden Dragon List

At this moment.

In the Imperial City of Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the residence of Cai Jing, the head of the Six Traitors of the Northern Song Dynasty and now the Chancellor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Cai Yun, the son of the powerful Chancellor Cai Jing.

Stood with his hands clasped behind his back.

The strongest martial artists in this world are not in the Jianghu （Martial World）, but in the Imperial Court.

The Imperial Court possesses more rare cultivation techniques and more resources.

Naturally, there are more experts than in the Jianghu.

Cai Jing himself is a Grandmaster of the fifth realm of martial arts, the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

And Cai Yun, as Cai Jing’s son, has practiced the Fire Phoenix True Scripture since childhood and has received vast resources, already reaching the eighth level of the Acquired Realm.

This is already among the top ranks of the younger generation in the Great Song Dynasty.

He was actually somewhat surprised by the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Dao Three Rankings, especially the Hidden Dragon List.

But immediately, he arrogantly declared, “The Hidden Dragon List has appeared, and only young people under the age of twenty-five can enter the list.

No one under the age of twenty-five is my opponent.

To me, the others are like chickens and dogs.

Therefore, I am destined to take the first place on this Hidden Dragon List!”

“I wonder what kind of reward there will be for holding the first place on the Heavenly Dao List’s Hidden Dragon List for a year. I hope the reward will be good.”

The people beside him flattered, “There are many young experts, but the first place on this Hidden Dragon List will surely be Young Master Cai. The others are like chickens and dogs.”

“That’s right, Young Master Cai has such cultivation at such a young age, how can he not be worthy of the first place on the Hidden Dragon List.”

“It was only people in the capital who had heard of Young Master Cai’s reputation. Now the entire Great Song Dynasty will hear of Young Master Cai’s name.”

Cai Yun nodded as a matter of course upon hearing the flattery from those around him.

◈◈◈

Meanwhile, in the Great Song’s western region, at the main camp of the Western Route Army.

At the residence of Marshal Zhong.

The Zhong family is the number one military family in the Great Song Dynasty.

The previous generation family head, Zhong Fang.

The previous generation family head, Zhong Shiheng.

Were all unparalleled experts.

And the current family head, Zhong Shidao, is not only the Grand Marshal of the Great Song’s Western Route Army but also one of the four Land Immortals of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the Zhong family’s training room.

Zhong Hao, Zhong Shidao’s son, stood with his hands clasped behind his back.

Cai Yun cultivates the Fire Phoenix True Scripture!

And Zhong Hao cultivates the unique skill passed down through generations of the Zhong family, the Great Divine Demon Skill.

This technique can increase one’s strength to several times that of an opponent of the same level. In addition, it can also enhance defense, making one’s defense several times higher than an opponent of the same level.

If one’s attack and defense are several times that of others, how strong must this Great Divine Demon Skill be!!!

And Zhong Hao has not only mastered the Great Divine Demon Skill.

He has also cultivated his strength to the Half-Step Divine Strength Realm, which is even stronger than Cai Yun’s.

He is about to break through to the third great realm, the Divine Strength Realm.

Zhong Hao looked at the Hidden Dragon List in the sky, and a surge of heroic spirit rose in his heart.

The first place on the Hidden Dragon List!

◈◈◈

At this moment!

A voice came from his ear.

“Little brother, do you have the confidence to take the first place on this Hidden Dragon List?” The speaker was a girl of extraordinary height, probably about 1.7 meters, with legs that seemed to start below her chest, and these legs must have been at least 1.2 meters long.

This girl was Zhong Hongluan, Zhong Shidao’s daughter, with extremely high standards and great strength.

The reason why she was still unmarried at twenty-four years old was because she looked down on men who couldn’t defeat her.

But coincidentally, she was a daughter of the Zhong family, and her strength was quite formidable. How many young men could defeat her?

Zhong Hao sneered and confidently said, “The first place on this Hidden Dragon List belongs to me. In all the world, among the younger generation, is there anyone who can compete with me?”

“Good, it’s good that you have such confidence, little brother.” Zhong Hongluan clapped her hands and laughed.

◈◈◈

Meanwhile, in the Imperial City of Kaifeng.

At the residence of Li Gefei, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

A group of teenage girls were drinking tea and chatting.

These girls were mostly the daughters of wealthy families from various residences in the capital.

And the girl surrounded in the center had a typical oval face, with skin as white and translucent as snow, a high nose bridge, and bright red lips. She had a dignified, beautiful, bright, and aloof aura, with a hint of coldness!

The girl’s hair was styled in a double-looped fairy bun, with a twisted silk lily jade hairpin tucked into her loosely gathered hair, and her dark hair cascaded down her back.

She wore a shimmering white makeup-flower lotus soft smoke gauze wide-sleeved jacket, a trailing lake-blue makeup-flower persimmon pattern gauze embroidered skirt, and a deep blue three-inlaid gold-threaded floral cicada-wing gauze satin cloak. A white jade belt was wrapped around her waist, highlighting her slender figure.

This girl’s appearance was truly three parts gorgeous, three parts bright, three parts aloof, and one part proud!

She was as pure as snow, and even more beautiful after frost!

Beautiful!

Beautiful to the extreme!

This was Li Qingzhao, the most famous girl in the capital, said to have an explosive talent.

In history, Li Qingzhao was a female poet.

But in this Mid-Martial World, Li Qingzhao not only writes poetry but is also a martial arts genius.

Li Qingzhao is also said to be at the eighth level of the Acquired Realm and is proficient in the martial art Ten Directions Freezing Demon Path.

“Sister Qingzhao, you will definitely be the first on this Hidden Dragon List.”

“Yes, this time we must suppress the other men. Let those men know that we women are also very powerful.”

“Sister Qingzhao’s strength is so formidable, of course, she can get the first place on the Hidden Dragon List. Let women be superior to men. Who says women are inferior to men.”

Li Qingzhao smiled slightly, clenched her pink fist, and said confidently and unceremoniously, “I am destined to take the first place on this Hidden Dragon List.”

◈◈◈

Peng Feng, while drinking wine, saw the Heavenly Dao Three Rankings appear in the sky.

He couldn’t help but be startled.

The Hidden Dragon List records young experts under the age of twenty-five!

And the other young experts, no matter how powerful, are at most at the second great realm of martial arts ━ the Acquired Realm.

But he himself is now at the fourth great realm of martial arts ━ the Diamond Realm!

This!

This!

This!

At this rate!

Wouldn’t he be ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List!!!

Damn it!

He was planning to keep a low profile until he reached the Land Immortal Realm.

But this Heavenly Dao Ranking is about to expose him!

Life is truly helpless!

He really doesn’t want to become famous!
