Chapter 410 - 406: Newcomer List
After listening to Ye Liangyong’s narrative, Ling Chen couldn’t help but be tempted. The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master was the most mysterious figure in the Martial Arts world. Even the Secret Society, which claimed to be the biggest intelligence agency globally and spent years trying, failed to uncover the identity of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master.
Moreover, He Ziyun once told him that if he had a chance to have a long talk with the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master, it would be greatly beneficial to his future.
"Mr. Ye, how much do you know about the Newcomer List?" Ling Chen curiously asked.
"There are ten people on the Newcomer List. The ones ranked in the top five are Song Ge, Han Yu, Qu Jinxian, Yi Shuiyan, and He Haifeng. These five are the outstanding youths of their generation, very strong. It is said that some of them are no less skilled than the experts on the Dragon List. Moreover, these individuals come from major sects and have very powerful backers. The gap between the five behind them and these five is quite significant."
Ling Chen sheepishly asked: "What about me... Mr. Ye, where do I rank on the Newcomer List?"
"You?" Ye Liangyong lifted his lips with a smile, "Take a guess."
"The eighth?" Ling Chen said cautiously. But seeing the smile on Ye Liangyong’s face, he quickly changed his words, "Could it be the ninth?"
Seeing that Ye Liangyong didn’t reply, Ling Chen said with a wry smile: "Don’t tell me it’s the tenth?"
"Alright, stop guessing. I’ll tell you the truth, your name isn’t on the Newcomer List. But you don’t need to feel downhearted; with your strength, ranking seventh or eighth wouldn’t be a problem. The reason your name isn’t listed is because Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has to consider a comprehensive evaluation. They consider not just an individual’s strength, but also their background. There are many young talents like you in the Martial Arts world, but there are only ten spots. It’s difficult for Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to cover everyone. In any case, the list is more questionable for the latter five names; those can be ignored. What you really need to pay attention to are the top five; they are the truly outstanding masters."
Ling Chen touched his nose and said: "Mr. Ye, knowing how strong those people are, why do you still encourage me to participate?"
