"Ghost Exorcist Ranking?"
Zhang Wei was surprised, his interest instantly piqued by the title of the post.
As he delved deeper into the ghost exorcism circle, he became more aware that there were distinctions in strength among ghost exorcists. The difference between a weak exorcist and a powerful one was akin to the difference between a level 1 beginner player and a max-level whale in an online game.
And although becoming a ghost exorcist was difficult, given the vast population of Great Xia, the number of ghost exorcists was still considerable, even with the difficulty.
This post was very popular.
Judging by the posting time, it was only published last night at 10 PM.
But now, the click-through rate and the number of replies were astonishingly high, its popularity no less than posts discussing recent events in the Northeast.
Clicking into the post content:
Hello everyone, I am your universally loved, flower-blooming, even Yui Aragaki would love, classmate Xiao Xuan. Today is once again the monthly ranking update time, and today we are updating the Potential New Stars Ranking.
As usual, I will first introduce this ranking.
This ranking ranks the younger generation of ghost exorcists in Great Xia. I have compiled a ranking based on the deeds, information, and strength of these young ghost exorcists.
Additionally.
After updating the ranking, I will introduce the newly added members to the list, so that everyone can get to know these new entrants, making it easier for you to worship them, and also for powerful individuals to see if they have made it onto the list and become ranked members, haha.
Furthermore.
Since this is the Potential New Stars Ranking, the age range for those who can make the list is 0-30 years old.
So if you want to see the rankings of the older generation of big shots, please turn to the post [National Ghost Exorcist Ranking]. However, the latest update for that list was before last month. Because that list includes all ages and all ghost exorcists nationwide, data collection is troublesome. I will update it again in some time, muah~
Now, let's get back to business.
Let's start introducing the Potential New Stars Ranking.
[First Place: Lin Jiujiu, Age: 29, Ghost Exorcist Profession:赊刀人 (She Dao Ren)]
[Second Place: Tang Ziping, Age: 26, Ghost Exorcist Profession: Tomb Guardian]
...
[Sixth Place: Huang Qing, Age: 28, Ghost Exorcist Profession: 出马仙 (Chu Ma Xian)]
...
Upon seeing the tenth place.
Zhang Wei let out a soft "Oh."
He recognized the tenth person, it was Wunian!
[Tenth Place: Wunian, Age: 22, Ghost Exorcist Profession: Buddhist Monk]
Looking at Wunian's information, Zhang Wei was somewhat surprised, but quickly came to terms with it. He had heard from Lu Lianxue earlier that Wunian was very powerful and famous in the ghost exorcism circle. After all, Wunian's life from birth to the present had been full of legends, almost like a protagonist's halo.
This was indeed the case. With his Eagle Guard level strength, Wunian could deal with Red-Clothed Fierce Ghosts that only Tiger Guard level exorcists could handle. He could even activate three magical artifacts of eminent Buddhist monks. If it weren't for the Nine Evil Yin Gathering Ghost that countered him, he might have had a chance to injure it.
Zhang Wei became curious:
"I wonder if the class monitor is on this list."
He thought that Wunian, as the future abbot of Mount Wutai, not only made the list but was also in tenth place.
Then what about Lu Lianxue?
She was the chosen successor for the next sect leader of Mount Longhu.
Thinking this.
Zhang Wei moved his mouse and clicked on the search bar in the list.
The poster had thoughtfully included a list and a search function for the convenience of forum users. By directly entering a name, one could check if it was on the list.
Soon.
The search results appeared.
As expected, Lu Lianxue had made the list.
[Seventy-eighth Place: Lu Lianxue, Age: 19, Ghost Exorcist Profession: Taoist Priest]
"The class monitor's ranking isn't low,"
Zhang Wei said with a smile, his gaze falling on Lu Lianxue's age information.
After all, both Wunian and the other top ten members were much older than Lu Lianxue. The first place was a full 10 years older than her, and even Wunian was 3 years older.
Looking at the ranked members after Lu Lianxue.
Their ages undoubtedly exceeded 20.
Even if Zhang Wei were slower, he could tell that at just 19 years old, she had made it onto the list, and not at the very end, but at seventy-eighth place. Lu Lianxue's talent was immense. Perhaps in another six months to a year, she might even break into the top ranks of the list.
Afterward.
With renewed interest, Zhang Wei searched for other ghost exorcists he knew, Zhang Chao and Lu Lianfeng.
He discovered that Lu Lianfeng was indeed on the list.
[One Hundredth Place: Lu Lianfeng, Age: 19, Ghost Exorcist Profession: Xiangxi Corpse Herder]
"It seems that Lianfeng, that silly boy, isn't just foolish and rich."
Next.
Zhang Wei typed "Zhang Chao" with both hands on the keyboard:
"I wonder if Zhang Chao made the list. If he didn't, I'll have to mock him properly. All the ghost exorcists I know made the list, only he didn't... Huh?!"
Zhang Wei froze.
He looked at the search results in disbelief.
His guess was right, Zhang Chao hadn't made the list, but what stunned him wasn't that.
It was the related search that popped up...
Since there was no Zhang Chao, the search results provided ranked members containing the characters 'Zhang' and 'Chao'.
A total of three ranked members with the surname Zhang appeared.
Among them, the ranked member at the very front of the search results:
[Twenty-sixth Place: Zhang Wei, Age: 19, Ghost Exorcist Profession: Suspected Taoist Priest, Special Note: This classmate Zhang Wei is a newly ranked member in this list update. His information will be placed in the new entrant information section below the list.]
"Zhang Wei???"
Zhang Wei, having snapped back to reality, his expression changed, looking rather peculiar.
Could this be me...
With the same name and age, could it be such a coincidence?
Quickly.
Zhang Wei scrolled down with his mouse wheel, looking at the information about the new entrants at the bottom of the list.
Upon entering his sight, he saw the information about the new entrant 'Zhang Wei'.
Besides him, there was no one else.
Clearly, in this update of the Potential New Stars Ranking, Zhang Wei was the only new entrant; all others were from the previous list.
Zhang Wei focused his gaze.
[New Entrant]: Zhang Wei
First, congratulations to this classmate Zhang Wei for becoming a new entrant.
This classmate Zhang Wei is powerful. Although he is only 19 years old, according to the information collected by Xiao Xuan, Zhang Wei recently fought against an Iron Coffin Zombie with his bare body and eventually beat the Iron Coffin Zombie to death with his fists. His physical strength is astonishing.
In addition.
Before I wrote this list tonight, I also received news that the day before yesterday, Zhang Wei wrestled with a Copper Armor Zombie from Xishuangbanna using his physical strength, and even broke the arm of the Xishuangbanna Copper Armor Zombie.
That Xishuangbanna Copper Armor Zombie, as far as I know, was specially refined by Granny Wang, one of the two elders of the Xiangxi Corpse Herding sect, for her grandson Lu Lianfeng, who is ranked hundredth on the list.
And!
On the very day I was writing this list, classmate Zhang Wei indirectly saved the young monk Wunian, who is ranked tenth on the list!
It is said that Zhang Wei gave Wunian a magical artifact, which helped Wunian's team successfully overcome danger and also helped Wunian overcome his life-and-death tribulation.
It was precisely Zhang Wei's assistance.
Wunian and his group survived, allowing the Wei Dao Division to follow the information provided by Wunian and his group to successively identify the hundreds of ghost exorcists involved in the recent events in the Northeast.
...
When Zhang Wei reached this point.
He was already certain.
The new entrant Zhang Wei was himself!
"I actually made the list..."
Zhang Wei's expression was peculiar. Was he so engrossed in the gossip that it ended up involving himself?
In his words.
He glanced at the comments below the post.
