Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 71 - Reunion with Su Miaoyu!

"Senior Brother Long, please have a seat. I can handle the boat."

Liu Bian helped Long Chen sit down and then personally propelled the boat forward with his battle qi. "This Martial Roll is the symbol of honor for the sect’s geniuses! Throughout the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Institutes, only the top one hundred disciples can be listed on the Martial Roll. Once listed, the cultivation resources you receive each month will double!"

Hearing this, Long Chen’s eyes lit up. The Martial Roll actually includes the hundred strongest disciples from all three Institutes? Based on that, Liu Bian, who is ranked in the top thirty, must be incredibly strong!

"What is Tuoba Jiao’s rank?" Long Chen asked.

Liu Bian replied respectfully, "Second Senior Sister is ranked tenth on the Martial Roll!"

"Tenth?" Long Chen stroked his chin. Tuoba Jiao is second in the Human Institute but only tenth on the Martial Roll. It seems there are far more geniuses in the Heaven and Earth Institutes.

"And how do you rank within the Human Institute?" Long Chen asked curiously.

Liu Bian puffed out his chest proudly. "Fifth!"

Long Chen nodded. The gap between second and fifth place in the Human Institute is huge. There’s a difference of nearly twenty ranks between them on the Martial Roll. No wonder the Human Institute is ranked last; the average skill level of its disciples isn’t high enough, and their top-tier talent is even more lacking.

"In our Human Institute, only Eldest Senior Brother Tuoba Beast is in the top three of the Martial Roll, currently holding third place."

As he spoke, Liu Bian clenched his fists. "It’s a shame our institute’s average skill level is so low. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be stuck at the bottom. If the Human Institute could defeat the Earth Institute, our cultivation resources would increase dramatically! One million Human Martial Beads could be directly exchanged for one million Lower Grade Spirit Stones, one hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones, or even ten thousand Superior Spirit Stones!"

Long Chen was startled. "Is the difference really that big?"

Previously, Tang Le had told him that 180,000,000 Human Martial Beads could only be exchanged for 18,000,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones. But according to Liu Bian, if the Human Institute were to defeat the Earth Institute, those 180,000,000 Human Martial Beads could be exchanged for an equal number of Lower Grade Spirit Stones, 18,000,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, or even 1,800,000 Superior Spirit Stones! That’s a tenfold increase! Doesn’t this mean that disciples of the Heaven Institute can get even more?

I have two hundred million Human Martial Beads. If I were to exchange them all for Superior Spirit Stones now, it would only amount to two hundred thousand. But for a Disciple of the Earth Court, two hundred million Human Martial Beads could be exchanged for two million Superior Spirit Stones! Long Chen felt a sharp sense of regret.

His eyes red with emotion, Liu Bian added, "Disciples of the Heaven Institute have it even better! They can directly exchange Human Martial Beads for an equal number of Mid-grade Spirit Stones!"

Hearing this, Long Chen’s regret deepened.

Doesn’t that mean a Heaven Institute disciple with two hundred million Human Martial Beads could get two hundred million Mid-grade Spirit Stones, or twenty million Superior Spirit Stones? At this rate, the disciples of the Human Institute could never catch up to those from the Heaven and Earth Institutes in their entire lifetimes! The disparity in cultivation resources is just too vast!

For Tuoba Jiao to reach the top ten on the Martial Roll with these limited resources, her innate talent must be extraordinary. Long Chen couldn’t help but admire her, and he gained a new level of respect for Liu Bian as well. As the daughter of the Human King, Tuoba Jiao might have access to special privileges, but Liu Bian certainly wouldn’t have the same advantages. For him to reach the top thirty is undoubtedly a sign of his exceptional ability!

"Senior Brother Long, we’ve arrived." Liu Bian brought the boat to shore and respectfully moved to help Long Chen.

Long Chen was exasperated. "You don’t have to do this. Tuoba Jiao and I are opponents, it’s not what you think."

"I understand! I get it! Senior Brother Long, please!" Liu Bian said, his expression full of admiration, clearly thinking Long Chen was merely being humble despite having such powerful backing.

Long Chen grimaced, too tired to explain any further. He could think whatever he wanted.

"Senior Brother Long, take a look."

Suddenly, Liu Bian pointed at the many disciples entering and exiting the Martial Institute. "Those with Gold Medals on their waists are from the Heaven Institute, those with Silver Medals are from the Earth Institute, and our Human Institute disciples have tokens made of black iron."

"Additionally, the tokens of the hundred geniuses on the Martial Roll are different; they are all Jade Medals."

Liu Bian took the Green Jade Token from his waist. "We haven’t seen any geniuses from the Martial Roll at the entrance yet, so you can look at mine."

The token was made of emerald green jade.

On the front: Human Institute, First Division, First-class Disciple, Liu Bian.

On the back: Martial Roll, 30th Place.

"I see. You can put it away now," Long Chen said with a nod. I only entered the Martial Ancestor last night, so I haven’t received my Disciple Token yet.

"Senior Brother Long, you may not know this, but the Martial Ranking Disciple Token has another use!"

Suddenly, Liu Bian tapped the token. As his battle qi flowed into it, a list materialized out of thin air.

On that list were the names of the one hundred geniuses from the Martial Roll!

First: Heaven Institute, Chu Lingjun!

Second: Earth Institute, Shangguan Pojun!

Third: Human Institute, Tuoba Beast!

"Shangguan Pojun!" Long Chen’s pupils contracted as a cold light flashed in his eyes.

There was only one reason Su Miaoyu had been able to dig out his Emperor Meridans back at the Su Family’s estate in Dragon City. It was because Shangguan Pojun had severely injured him first! Long Chen still remembered the way Shangguan Pojun had looked at him, as if he were staring at an ant!

"Senior Brother Long? What’s wrong?" Liu Bian asked cautiously, seeing the chilling expression on Long Chen’s face.

Just as Long Chen was about to wave his hand and speak, a familiar voice echoed from behind him.

"Long Chen? Heh, you’re still alive, you piece of trash?"

That voice... Su Miaoyu!

Long Chen spun around, his expression fierce. The person who met his gaze was, indeed, Su Miaoyu.
