Ten Great People?
Jade Faced Eagle King looked to the side a little. It was clear that this was the first time he heard this.
But he still believed in Harrier Hawk’s information, because Harrier Hawk was the weakest among the Thirteen Eagles, but as part of Beggar’s Sect, he was well-informed, and he always had a sensitive nose to everything happening in World of Martial Arts. He never missed a single rumor circulating among the players, regardless of whether it was big or small, and among them were naturally some of the information online and the forums.
The Chinese martial artists do not pay much attention to the information outside the country.
Bald Eagle was the military adviser of the Thirteen Eagles, and he will usually be the one concocting all the schemes and plans in their group.
If even Bald Eagle said that, Jade Faced Eagle King gradually calmed down and remembered the short fight just now. The strength Ralston displayed did indeed make people feel as if they simply cannot attack him, and he also felt resigned in a manner as if he could not stand up against him.
“Come back!” Jade Faced Eagle King summoned the others to return to his side, and he gave his orders resolutely. “We’ll retreat!”
The group of people quickly widened their distance between them and jumped up their horses. All of them cast one final glance at Ralston and Wan Wan before they rode away, though they were reluctant in admitting their defeat.
“Bald Eagle, tell me, what’s going on with this Ten Great People?”
Jade Faced Eagle King finally found the words to form his question, and soon, he demanded answers.
Bald Eagle sighed calmly. He was already prepared for this. “They call them Great People because they are unique. Their strength stands above everyone else in the world, and they are unmatched.”
“Unmatched… Who chose them?” Jade Faced Eagle King frowned.
Bald Eagle shook his head, sighed, and said, “The Great People aren’t chosen by someone, but they are martial art elites who are publicly acknowledged to be far above everyone else and are nearly invincible.”
“Oh? Based on what?” Jade Faced Eagle King took his words with a grain of salt.
“Battle replays. They’re based on the battle replays after the players become famous, and the people can get a general gist of the person’s strength. After all, everyone knows that the skills displayed in the battle replays cannot be faked. Unless the players possess strength that can make others admire them greatly, otherwise, they will not be acknowledged.”
Jade Faced Eagle King believed him a little now, and he could not help but suck in a sharp breath before he asked, “You just said that there are only ten in the whole world? And the Mongolian server has one?”
Bald Eagle thought about this for a while before he answered, “It’s not that there are only ten strong players in the world… but it’s that the people discovered them and acknowledged them. As of current, there are only ten who are acknowledged.
“It’s said that a few days ago, someone uploaded Responsible Hero’s battle replay online in hopes that they can get the people to acknowledge another Great Person in the Chinese server, but in the end, they didn’t succeed.”
Jade Faced Eagle King held his breath again.
He witnessed Responsible Hero’s strength before.
Even Barren Murderer and Drifting Sword lost in one slash. His sword technique had reached transcendent levels, and there was no doubt about his strength.
But in the end, Happy saw through Responsible Hero’s weakness.
He must have failed in getting the title of a Great Person because of his battle against Happy.
If even someone as strong as Responsible Hero could not enter the ranks of a Great Person and did not manage to convince the world of his strength, then it was easy to imagine just what sort of level Ralston had already reached!
“Then how many Great People do we have from the Chinese server?”
“Two,” Bald Eagle answered.
The other twelve of the Thirteen Eagles at the back instantly fell silent.
There was no need for them to ask, they already knew the answer. The two Great People must be pointing toward the strongest player in the Chinese server, Happy, and the strongest swordsman in the Chinese server, One Emperor. Only they fully deserved entering the ranks of the Great People.
After the short question and answer session, the people at the back of the group became even more curious.
“Fifth, you mentioned that there are ten Great People in the world, and we only have two from the Chinese server. Are you saying that aside from Ralston, there are seven other people who have about the same strength as Happy and One Emperor?” In truth, Jade Faced Eagle King still did not quite believe that there were players from other countries who can stand at the same level as Happy and One Emperor.
Bald Eagle’s tone was grave. “I don’t know whether they’re at the same level as Happy and One Emperor, but each of them have a certain area where they are practically invincible, and no one can surpass them. Also, their strength is definitely above ours.
“It’s said that India’s Snake King Gupta has a rarely seen king cobra in his hands. When it attacks and fixes its eyes on its target, it can throw a person’s nerves into chaos, and any who is stained with the slightest bit of its poison dies on the spot. Also, aside from the king cobra, he has a Golden Python. I heard that it’s a mix between a lizard and a python. Not only can it move so quickly that it’s faster than a normal martial artist, its scales are also incredibly sturdy, and it can resist various weapons. Also, Golden Python has great constriction force, and once it binds its target, it can turn the target into meat paste within a short moment.”
“…It’s just a snake, is it really that powerful?”
The group of people sucked in sharp breaths, but they could not quite believe what they heard.
Bald Eagle answered calmly, “It’s shown on the battle replays, and those who personally went through it all died. Many great Indian players and other famous players from other countries went to challenge after they heard of his fame, and they all died under the fangs of his pet snakes. There are even people who said that Gupta has more than these two snakes.”
Silence fell among the group.
“What about the other six?”
“If we mention India’s Gupta and Mongolia’s Ralston, then we must mention Vietnam’s boxer—”
“Vietnam’s boxer? No way, someone from Vietnam also became a Great Person?”
“Listen to me.” Bald Eagle rolled his eyes impatiently. “The Vietnam boxer is known as Asura, and his title is Life and Death Fist. I heard that he is also incredibly talented, but his situation is completely different from Ralston!”
“What?” The group of people quickly had their curiosity sparked because of Bald Eagle. “It’s said that in reality, Asura is a disabled person, and he only has one arm—”
“What happens when a person with only one arm enters the game?”
“The game will give him two arms!” Bald Eagle had the ghost of a smile appear on his lips.
The others were stunned.
“Isn’t this pretty good?”
Bald Eagle answered, “Of course it’s good. But in reality, since Asura uses his left arm for work purposes all year round and also only uses one fist in his boxing technique, after training for so long, he can easily lift objects that are below 220 pounds. When he entered the game, the stats the system gave him are very strange. I heard that his Arm Strength fluctuates. When he uses his right arm, his strength is normal, but once he uses his left arm, the numbers will be shocking.”
Silence fell.
“In the beginning, this condition isn’t that obvious, but as his qi realm increased, the growth in the Arm Strength for his left arm was insane. When the Arm Strength for his right arm rose to two hundred points, his left arm had already surpassed three hundred and fifty points. When he throws his punch, some of the normal weapons will crack. His damage is already akin to one punch from a Myth Realm martial art. Hence, they say that if he fights against you with his right arm, you live, and if he fights against you with his left arm, you die. That’s how he gained his title as Life and Death Fist.”
The group of people shuddered when they heard this.
A Life and Death Realm martial artist managed to deliver the power of a Myth Realm martial artist… It was truly something inconceivable.
However, that person’s strength and the things he encountered in his life had indeed pushed him to the level of a Great Person.
“Fifth, what about the other five—”
“That’s right, Fifth, why don’t you tell us everything about them!”
The group of people seemed to have forgotten about their failure just now. They just asked Bald Eagle about the other Great people.
Unfortunately for them, at that moment, Bald Eagle and Jade Faced Eagle King had their ears twitch at that moment, and they turned their heads around to stare at the spot where Wan Wan and the others remained.
