"And your father?"
As for my father’s strength, it’s hard to say. I only know that when he sparred playfully with my mother, he never truly fell behind.
However, he rarely makes a move, and there are few records of his battles in Jianghu, so he hasn’t been listed on the Earth List."
"What about Han Wushang from the Primordial Martial Arts Hall?"
Chen Ping thought of soone else, rembering the power of that punch from the bald hall master that night, which left a deep impression on him.
"Hall Master Han, ah, his na also isn’t on the Earth List."
Hua Lian’er thought carefully for a mont and replied.
So, Chen Ping understood.
Usually, those listed on the Earth List are those who have crossed paths with masters and have victories to show for it. People like King Jinghai and Han Wushang, not being listed, doesn’t necessarily an they’re weak.
King Jinghai doesn’t need to engage in life-or-death combat because of his high status and power.
As for Han Wushang, you can tell by his nickna.
[Not Contending with Others] Han Wushang, he doesn’t seriously fight with others.
The few tis he takes action, it’s likely just to make a point.
Running a martial hall ans it’s best not to make enemies if you want to recruit more disciples.
Most of the ti, he probably settles for a draw and says, "You’re too kind, you’re too kind..."
That day was unusual; he used his true skills and punched the Straw Hat Man to pieces, likely because he was extrely angry.
...
This ti, perhaps knowing the crisis had completely arrived, Hua Lian’er also made sense of it herself. If she couldn’t escape, she would die a very miserable death and might even harm Xingqing Prefecture.
Therefore, she had no more thoughts of hiding anything.
She directly revealed her past and identity, just hoping not to mislead Chen Ping, causing him to make the wrong decision.
She didn’t know whether, after stepping out, she would see a street full of people waiting to catch her?
Perhaps even those friendly and kind elders might suddenly change their faces.
At this mont, the only person she could trust was Chen Ping.
Hiding her identity was no longer important.
The reason she hadn’t been discovered before was because no one would suspect that a noble young lady could perfectly disguise herself as a filthy little beggar from the lowest class.
Once seen through, no matter how she disguised herself, it would be hard to escape the eyes of those with intentions.
"Wait for a mont."
After asking many questions, Chen Ping had a deeper understanding of the current situation.
He found that the situation was much more severe than he had anticipated.
If previously it was just a gang or a hidden hand dealing with him and Hua Lian’er.
It could have been viewed as a localized Jianghu conflict.
Now, it was essentially a war.
Once the Beizhou Barbarians wanted to achieve their goal, it wouldn’t just be limited to Jianghu vendettas; they would likely use various influences to mobilize all forces close to Beizhou within Jianghu, and perhaps even the court and the common people.
How powerful could this force be in Xingqing Prefecture? Chen Ping wasn’t sure.
He only knew that if they couldn’t quickly get Hua Lian’er to King Jinghai.
Even if he had eight arms and sixteen legs, it would be too much to handle.
Right now, speed is of the essence.
Catch the opponent off guard.
Strategy is one thing, and strength is another.
In the battle at Fireworks Alley, Chen Ping also discovered that the Beizhou Barbarians could mobilize too many experts...
While he wasn’t weak, having just two hands might not be enough to et four adversaries.
If besieged by experts of similar rank and class, it would be hard to guarantee absolute safety.
Now, naturally, the stronger, the better.
He focused his heart and spirit inward and looked at the Spring and Autumn Silkworm attribute column.
In the midst of hurry, he saved people, killed enemies, then quickly found Lian’er, resolving his uncertainties, never settling his mind to review his gains.
Now he saw that Tribulation Points had quietly reached as high as 24 points.
And Fortune Points had reached 18 points.
This showed that, in the courtyard of Fireworks Alley, facing the three-person siege was indeed quite dangerous; after breaking the tribulation, he gained 18 Tribulation Points.
Regarding Fortune, after this tribulation, he only received 6 points, not as much as when he rescued the young girls from Mingfeng Pavilion.
Perhaps the way Spring and Autumn Silkworm calculates contains aspects he doesn’t understand.
The young girls he rescued weren’t rely victims of a tragic fate.
Perhaps there is a far-reaching influence.
Then why were these young girls chosen by Zhuang Hongyi under Chizi Hall, why were they sought out everywhere, and what deeper aning lies within?
Chen Ping was sowhat puzzled.
Now clearly wasn’t the ti to consider this.
He only briefly assessed his Tribulation Points and Fortune Points and imdiately decided to seize the opportunity first, then decide which martial arts to enhance.
The three newly acquired clusters of light had both bright and dark aspects.
The brightest one, Chen Ping recognized, was obtained from slaying the Divine Archer Murong Gui.
Compared to Liu Wuxin, this person was certainly much stronger.
Even compared to the imnsely powerful, inhuman-like Tuoba Nu, Murong Gui was much stronger.
Not that he was stronger in real-ti combat power... both sides had their strengths, so it’s hard to compare.
The main difference was in potential.
Murong Gui practiced the Great Sun Heart Scripture, one of the highest teachings in the Esoteric Sect, and had honed the extrely lethal Sunrise Divine Arrow skill.
On that day in the forest, overhearing White Crow speaking with soone... Murong Xue, ranked thirteenth on the Earth List, using this arrow technique, managed to wound the third-ranked Fairy Fubo, despite involving distractions.
