“ This person is simply... ” Hai Dayu shook his head repeatedly, looking at the other two lists, feeling that he could no longer find words to describe it.
The first of the two lists was the individual combat power rankings.
Ye Zhongming was unquestionably ranked first.
In second place was the boss of the divine hall, the one who possessed the heavenly language demon vine.
Third place went to the boss of the Radiant World Army, Mu Hanyi.
Fourth was Li Daqian from Ten Thousand Beast Manor.
Fifth was Ji Rui Guang from the resistance zone.
Sixth was Tong Steward from the five rings society.
Seventh was Wang Hanran from the Ogre Chain.
Eighth was the Grand President from the zero commerce association.
Ninth was Xia Bai from Cloud Summit Villa.
Tenth was Red Hair from Cloud Summit Villa.
In this list, Cloud Summit had three representatives, while the five rings society regarded Red Hair as an evolver.
There was no way around it; Red Hair truly resembled an evolver now, and no one could tell she was a human puppet. Even the creator, Ye Zhongming, could not determine what Red Hair should be classified as after her transformation.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call her an evolver.
The individual combat power rankings listed the top five hundred, with dozens from Cloud Summit Villa making the cut. Elder Long from Black Dragon City ranked in the lower half of the list, appearing rather inconspicuous.
The most eye-catching was the national comprehensive strength ranking, where Cloud Summit Villa was undoubtedly first. After reviewing the other lists, it would be unreasonable not to put Cloud Summit at the top.
The second and third places were held by the resistance zone and the Radiant World Army, respectively.
Fourth was Ten Thousand Beast Manor, fifth was five rings society, sixth was Ogre Chain, seventh was the divine hall, eighth was the zero commerce association, ninth was Black Star, and tenth was Blood Tumbleweed.
Compared to the previous list, the most significant change was the disappearance of the pavilion of quality; Mr. Wen had taken his organization out of the national region after a millennium, leading the five rings society to exclude them entirely.
Due to the battle with Ye Zhongming, the divine hall's ranking dropped significantly to seventh. Black Star remained in the top ten, advancing a spot as a result of the pavilion of quality's disappearance, while Blood Tumbleweed also entered the top ten, becoming a recently popular force.
Similarly, the sunrise freedom army, which maintained a good relationship with Cloud Summit Villa, along with organizations like the water steward and Star Beauty Corporation, which had directly become affiliated forces of Cloud Summit, significantly increased their strength, making it into the top hundred of the national region.
Among the one hundred, more than ten forces had ties to Cloud Summit.
It could be said that the Cloud Summit faction had become one of the most important forces in the national region.
One could imagine that when this list became known to the world, many forces would lean towards the powerful Cloud Summit Villa. By then, the Cloud Summit faction would be unaware of how vast it might grow.
"Why is there such a huge gap among people!" Someone unknown, perhaps a big shot, exclaimed with a rustic saying, instantly dissipating the serious atmosphere in the room.
Everyone laughed, many waking up from their shock and gaining insight.
In the past, Black Dragon City seemed to be related to the rankings because some members had power and influence, but now with so few Black Dragon City members left on the list, such a thing was merely a topic of conversation in the remote northern region. If one cared about it, it was a belief. If they didn't, it was nothing.
Nonetheless, the matters at hand were more urgent.
When Ye Zhongming saw the lists, he actually felt a bit uncomfortable. He understood the reasoning that “the taller the tree, the stronger the wind blows.” Now, Cloud Summit Villa was flourishing in the national region, attracting attention, and everything they did had countless eyes watching. Correspondingly, some weaknesses might slowly become exposed.
