Sword Among Us

Just as Young Master Wei and the rest were checking this International Influential Rank of the Strong, the young American player known as the Prophet, Carlson, had his Weibo set on the trending list by the official developers of Weibo. His International Influential Rank of the Strong and International Great People Rank had more than ten million views and more than ten thousand reposts within a short period of time.

The momentum of its increasing popularity just became stronger and stronger with each passing moment!

The Prophet’s name quickly became a title countless people discussed often, and Carlson became famous within one night.

Each of those listed in Influential Great People Rank had more than one hundred and eighty minutes of battle replay uploaded on the official website, and they also had a description about them that was about ten thousand words in length.

Those passages described the players’ birthplace, sect, the martial arts they learned, their qi points, the data about their four attributes, their qi realms, the martial arts they perfected, the ultimate techniques and equipment they were used to use. All these were listed in great detail.

Then, it was followed by the feats they accomplished, the reasons they became famous, and the battles they joined that shook World of Martial Arts. All of them were described clearly.

All those up on Influential Great People Rank had sufficient reason of being on the ranking board, and no one can say anything about it.

Also, there was a contact method listed on Great People Rank, along with a registration channel for others to be listed on Great People Rank.

The people who wanted to be in the rank only needed to provide their titles and their battle records, and they will obtain the Prophet’s attention. They will also be evaluated.

As long as their strength achieved the requirements, the next Great Person might be born.

However, the information about the battle replays that can make others watch them for a few days and nights were not the only thing that attracted the people’s attention. The largest selling point about the website was still the International Influential Rank of the Strong.

The Prophet stated that the top one hundred players will not be ranked based on the people they killed in the game or their reputation. Instead, they will be ranked based on their equipment, the combination of their martial arts, their comprehensive strength, and the strongest NPCs they killed in the game.

If they had a full set of fourth-echelon masterpieces, they gained one point.

For a full set of third-echelon demon vessels, they gained two points.

As for a full set of fourth-echelon demon vessels, they gained three points.

The number of ultimate techniques they had will also allow them to gain points.

Life and Death Realm lightness skills, Life and Death Realm body fortification skills, Life and Death Realm qi cultivation techniques, Life and Death Realm martial arts, as well as Life and Death Realm throwing knife skills, bow techniques, and hidden weapon techniques will also allow them to gain points. If the player had one Life and Death Realm technique among the five types of martial arts listed, they will gain points. At most, they can get five points.

As for ultimate techniques, the players can get one point for them regardless of its rank.

Next was the number of Myth Realm martial artists the players killed. With every Myth Realm NPC the players killed, they will get one point.

The International Influential Rank of the Strong was a statistical ranking system formed based on points, and the ranking will be continuously refreshed based on each person’s change, which will allow it to avoid being criticized by multiple people.

It was also precisely because of this reason that even though many people were livid when they saw the names listed at the very top of the ranking board, but soon, they had their questions answered, and they felt at peace with it.

The person ranked at the top was China’s One Emperor.

When they clicked open One Emperor’s data, many people had to admit to how he gained his position at the top.

Aside from having a full set of fourth-echelon divine equipment, which allowed him to gain a full three points, he had a Life and Death Realm lightness skill, Life and Death Realm body fortification, Life and Death Realm qi cultivation technique, and Fatal Thirteen Sword. The only thing he lacked was a hidden weapon technique, and from those, he obtained four points.

He was also the person on the International Influential Rank of the Strong who gained the most points for the final category.

He had a total five points from it!

This meant that there were at least five Myth Realm NPCs who died in One Emperor’s hands.

Myth Realm!

To many players, they were powerful existences who can only be looked up to, but in One Emperor’s eyes, they did not seem to be that strong and unbeatable.

As for the fourteen people behind him, all of them had full points in terms of their equipment and martial artists, and they had eight points from those. But when it came to killing Myth Realm martial artists, they only managed to kill one or two of them, and their points were around ten or nine.

It was the same for Happy, he only had nine points.

That was because his entire set of equipment was made up of fourth-echelon masterpieces, and he only had a pitiful one point from it.

As for his martial arts, he only had four points from it.

But the points Happy gained from killing Myth Realm martial artists was a whooping four points, because aside from Jinjiu and Yinshi, Happy also killed two evil cult elites who were at the initial stage of Myth Realm and whose strength were below Priest Xi Yin while he was on the plains.

“There’re so many great people around…”

Once the International Influential Rank of the Strong appeared, not only did it swiftly catch the attention of those in the western countries, it also caught China’s attention.

For the first time, the Chinese were triggered by the foreign martial artists.

“The foreigners can also kill Myth Realm martial artists?”

“That’s a lie, right?’

“Is the martial art system in other countries that strong?”

The internet was in a ruckus.

There might not be many full sets of fourth-echelon demon vessels listed on the Internationational Influential Rank of the Strong, but that was still a category that decided whether the players could be positioned in the ranking board.

The number of Myth Realm elites killed was also a height that many cannot hope to reach!

While there were countless conceited Chinese players who were still fighting to master Life and Death Realm martial arts as well as obtaining third or fourth echelon masterpieces, there were already a handful of foreigners who had already broken the invincible legend of those in Myth Realm.

This forced some people to have to reevaluate their knowledge about foreign players.

That included Happy, who quickly logged off the game and looked through the Prophet’s Weibo carefully.

The butterfly effect caused many of the progression of events in this world to go through unexpected changes.

Because of him, Moksha Realm players will appear ahead of time.

But right now, the group quests in the Chinese server had appeared ahead of time.

The foreign forces of power had also entered the Chinese server ahead of time as well.

There was also the Prophet, whose name he never heard of in his previous life, along with the International Great People Rank as well as the International Influential Rank of the Strong, which never appeared before. It caused this world to become even more complicated.

“‘This is a ranking board that ranks the players based on points. Those who have fewer than eight points will not be given a ranking. They will be ranked from the 101st to 1,000th place based on their achievements and reputation…’ This Prophet is pretty interesting.” Happy read through the post for a while in his living room, and he lamented from the bottom of his heart. “Looks like someone wants to steal Wandering Know-it-all’s job now.”

“That’s not so simple.” Silver Wolf had come over here when he heard about this, and he straightened his body in an unbothered fashion. His tone was indifferent when he spoke, “Wandering Know-it-all is from China, and what he’s skilled with isn’t all this statistics, but divination. His advantage lies in his Universe Secrets Inkstone. This Prophet will at most only be able to make conclusions online. Their area of business is different.”

“That’s not necessarily true. If he only searches for information online, this Carlson fellow will not dare to call himself Prophet. This is a flashy title, after all.

“Besides, if he’s only gathering information, he will need a lot of manpower, resources, and time. Without a large company, he will not be able to do this.” When he said this, Happy stopped talking for a moment before he said softly, “He should be a foreign elite skilled in astrology. His skills will be similar to the divination methods used in the east. He will be able to obtain a lot of information directly, just like Wandering Know-it-all.”

“That shouldn’t be possible, right?”

Happy said firmly, “It’s absolutely possible! Very few people know that I killed Jinjiu and Yinshi. Besides, there’s seldom any information online about anyone killing Myth Realm NPCs, but this ranking board has clearly stated more than sixty kills. This person named the Prophet isn’t any ordinary person…”

Then, with a dark expression, Happy clicked open the International Great People Rank, which was on the Prophet’s Weibo, and clicked his own name. He said, “Also, everyone’s data is listed out too clearly.

“He actually managed to get the full list of all the martial arts I imitated with Nine Yang Divine Skill. This alone is something a normal diviner cannot do.”
