The post title:
The Potential New Stars List Announcement Regarding Zhang Wei's Absence, Must Read! Quick Read! Hurry!!
Upon seeing this post, many were stunned and quickly clicked in, eager to know the reason.
Clicking in.
The post content was simple:
To everyone, you must be very confused as to why Zhang Wei is not on the updated Potential New Stars List. First, I must clarify that I did not forget to include Zhang Wei. I always double-check the rankings before posting, with a 0% error rate.
The reason Zhang Wei was not included in this update is simply because I learned the latest news about Zhang Wei – his current strength!
Yes.
After learning about Zhang Wei's current strength, I considered it thoroughly and decided to remove Zhang Wei from the Potential New Stars List. This is because… the Potential New Stars List is no longer qualified to house Zhang Wei. With Zhang Wei's current strength, the New Stars List cannot contain him.
As for why.
The purpose of my ranking the Potential New Stars List is to encourage and inspire the younger generation of Great Xia to understand the strength of our current generation, to prevent them from being complacent, and to foster mutual progress. It also allows foreigners to know the might of Great Xia.
This is also why I removed Zhang Wei from the New Stars List. The New Stars List is for mutual encouragement; pressure breeds motivation. However, Zhang Wei's strength can no longer motivate the younger generation; it can only demoralize them!
In fact.
With Zhang Wei's current strength, not only can he demoralize the younger generation, making them seem unreachable, but even the older generation would be ashamed. Therefore, after careful consideration, I have decided not to rank Zhang Wei on the Potential New Stars List, but instead to place him on the older generation's list.
So, everyone, please look forward to it!
I will be releasing the latest Great Xia Older Generation List shortly, allowing everyone to see Zhang Wei's ranking on this list.
Friendly reminder.
There is latest news confirming that Zhang Wei single-handedly killed six Ghost King-level monsters. The accuracy of this information is 100%, as the Guardian Division is already on their way to 'collect the goods.' Hahaha.
Additionally.
I also advise everyone on the Potential New Stars List not to be discouraged. I hope you will use Zhang Wei as an example, shifting your focus from the Potential New Stars List to breaking out of it and, at a young age, entering the 'Veteran List' of the older generation.
The post content was quite lengthy.
But everyone read every single word of the post. The more they read, the more they dared not overlook any word, fearing they might miss crucial intelligence.
Following this.
The comment count on this post grew at a visible rate. With every second refresh, the comment count jumped, and the content was nothing but shock:
"Are you kidding me? Zhang Wei has entered the Veteran List?"
"If I remember correctly, Xiao Xuan's Veteran List only counts older generations over 60 years old, and everyone on it is at the level of top Kirin Guards."
"Killing six Ghost Kings in one go, no wonder he was removed from the Potential New Stars List. Who on the New Stars List can do that? Let alone those on the Veteran List, not many could achieve this."
"Damn! When will the Veteran List be updated! I want to see Zhang Wei's ranking, ahhhhh! I can't wait!"
"@Xiao Xuan, update quickly! My roommate wanted to see the Veteran List update before he died, hurry up and update!"
As can be seen.
Half of the content in the post was urging Xiao Xuan to update the Veteran List quickly.
At the same time.
The news from the post spread like wildfire, similar to the urgent calls for updates.
This night.
From the youngest child to the oldest elder, everyone was anticipating the update of the 'Veteran List.'
The younger generation did not know Zhang Wei's strength and were anticipating his ranking. The older generation, despite knowing Zhang Wei's strength, were also anticipating the ranking, wanting to know at what level Zhang Wei would be placed with his current ranking, to more accurately grasp his power.
...
Northeast, Huang Family Ancestral Land.
At this moment.
An old man lay on his bed, his withered fingers sliding across a tablet, reading the post published by Xiao Xuan on the Guardian Division forum.
As he read the introduction to Zhang Wei's strength and learned from the younger generation beside him about Zhang Wei's strength reaching the Half-step True Dragon Guard level, the old man couldn't help but say:
"The current Great Xia, the younger generation is truly formidable."
As he spoke.
A middle-aged man beside him seemed to recall something and cupped his hands in greeting, saying:
"Old Ancestor, this Zhang Wei is also one of the invited individuals to help retrieve the medicine for you."
Although the middle-aged man was old and the head of the five major families in the Northeast, in front of the old man, he could only refer to himself as a junior, all because of this old man's identity… the Grand Elder of the Huang family, the patriarch of the five major families in the Northeast!
Upon hearing this.
Grand Elder Huang looked over and chuckled heartily, saying:
"Oh? This one is also participating? Then it seems I still have some hope."
Just as the Huang family patriarch was about to say something.
At this moment.
"Grand Elder, it's updated! The Veteran List has been updated!"
A junior exclaimed, looking at the forum on his phone.
...
At the same time.
It wasn't just the Huang family juniors who noticed. At this moment, all ghost hunters and monsters who were paying attention to this matter immediately refreshed to see Xiao Xuan's updated Veteran List.
Update, Veteran List! Unprecedented newcomer forcefully enters the list! Must read! Must read! Must read!
Seeing this post published.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Even though they already knew the situation, their hearts couldn't help but burn with anticipation. They held their breath and clicked into the post:
Veteran List: This list is for ranking Great Xia individuals over 60 years old or those whose strength reaches the Ghost King level. Note – this list does not include True Dragon Guards. True Dragon Guards are too classified and inconvenient to disclose, but as a friendly reminder, since the appearance of this list, all new generation True Dragon Guards have been candidates from this list, without exception!
The post content was the same as usual, introducing the rules and wanted information for the list.
Scrolling further down.
There was a ranking table, listing the top 100 individuals on the Veteran List.
However.
Unlike before, this time the table was in reverse order, starting the ranking from 100th place. It was evident that Xiao Xuan had put in great effort for this Zhang Wei ranking.
In response.
Everyone eagerly looked at the rankings.
Upon seeing the rankings from 100th to 50th place and finding Zhang Wei not listed, everyone was shocked:
"Holy crap, entering the list directly in the top 50, that's insane. This is even more impressive than when he first entered the New Stars List."
"Fiftieth place, I'll be damned. Zhang Wei is now in the top fifty among the older generation of Great Xia? That means, excluding True Dragon Guards, only 50 people can defeat Zhang Wei?!"
But before everyone could finish their shock.
They continued to scroll down.
40th-50th place…
Zhang Wei was still not seen, and everyone's breathing became rapid.
30th-40th place…
Zhang Wei was still not seen. At this moment, everyone felt their throats burning like they had swallowed hot charcoal, their breaths carrying heat.
20th-30th place…
Zhang Wei was still not seen. At this moment, everyone's heart pounded, feeling like it was about to jump out of their throats.
"Zhang Wei's name is still not here!!"
"20th place?! Zhang Wei is even higher?! Oh my heavens."
"Hiss, I am witnessing history!"
With excitement.
Everyone went wild, their gazes fixed on the list.
10th-20th place…
Not there!
Zhang Wei's ranking was still not there!!
At this moment.
Even the older generation, and even Grand Elder Huang, were moved. Everyone was stirred, and at this moment, they all knew… Zhang Wei had entered the top ten of the Veteran List.
