Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 41 A Journey to the Human World: A Feast of Amazing Beauty, A Glimpse of the Human World's Splendor, and the Amazing List!

"Beer, liquor, mineral water, cigarettes, sunflower seeds, sausages... move your legs, everyone! Anyone want a set meal?"

"I want!"

"Would you like a set meal, sir?"

"One serving? No! Twenty servings!"

Are you sure?

"This truckload contains fifty boxed meals, right? My brother and I will take this whole truckload!"

Are you sure?

"Take your money and get out of my car!"

"Enjoy your meal!"

The train conductor gave Qin Feng a suspicious look before leaving the exam carriage. 🌷🍫 ➅9H1N1.COM 😝💗

Throughout the entire carriage, almost all eyes were fixed on Qin Feng and Dongfang Laoying.

Fortunately, Qin Feng and Dongfang Laoying are not ordinary people. One is extremely thick-skinned on a mental level, and the other is extremely thick-skinned on a physical level.

Despite the intense gazes of the passengers, the two men's appetites did not diminish; instead, they engaged in a competition to see who could eat more and who was the real big brother, creating a flamboyant atmosphere.

Dongfang Laoying's 400-plus-pound physique is purely due to his innate advantages. When he's showing off, he can make one boxed lunch after another at an extremely fast pace, like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds.

Compared to Dongfang Laoying's speed in eating, Qin Feng ate in a more refined manner. He didn't eat fast, but he was steady and clean. In particular, the lunchboxes Qin Feng ate from were spotless, with not a single grain of rice left.

When they reached the thirteenth box, Dongfang Laoying's speed began to decrease, while Qin Feng maintained a steady pace.

Finally, when it was time for the nineteenth meal, Dongfang Laoying couldn't eat anymore. He rubbed his belly and kept burping, clearly stuffed.

Looking at Qin Feng again, this is already his 22nd lunchbox. Qin Feng is still showing off his lunchbox at a leisurely pace, and it's still as clean as ever.

At this moment, Dongfang Laoying's gaze towards Qin Feng became filled with utmost respect.

It's important to know that in the realm of showing off one's food, it has always been Dongfang Laoying's home turf. Now, encountering Qin Feng, Dongfang Laoying has met an unprecedented formidable opponent. This is the first time in his life that someone has surpassed him in both the quality and quantity of their food showing off!

Dongfang Laoying couldn't understand how this skinny kid could eat so much food, even more than him!

However, Dongfang Laoying understood one thing: for martial artists, being able to eat is a symbol of strength. The more you eat, the stronger your digestive ability and the more powerful your physique!

Dongfang Laoying asked cautiously, "Brother Feng, how much qi and blood do you have? Why are you eating so much?"

Qin Feng looked up and muttered, "A little over two hundred!"

Dongfang Laoying gasped, repeatedly clasping his hands in a fist salute. "Impressive! You have over two hundred points of Qi and Blood, while I only have a little over one hundred! You truly deserve to be a martial arts student! With your talent, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you'll definitely make a name for yourself on the Astounding Ranking this time in Xianyang!"

Qin Feng, eating a fried chicken leg, looked up and asked, "The Astounding Ranking? What's that?"

Dongfang Laoying was taken aback. "Brother Feng, you don't know about the Amazing Ranking? It's been a hot topic on the dark web lately, and you don't know?"

Qin Feng remembered seeing the words "Amazing List" in the news before, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

Qin Feng grabbed a new lunchbox. "Let's chat!"

Dongfang Laoying immediately became interested and raised his voice, "To talk about this 'Amazing List,' we must mention Laozi and Confucius's debate on Taoism at Yunshan!"

"Legend has it that Lao Tzu and Confucius discussed the Dao twice. The second discussion took place atop Yunshan Mountain. During the discussion, a divine bird, the Snow Feathered Swan, appeared and circled the two sages, listening to their sacred words. It stayed for three days and three nights without leaving them. The Snow Feathered Swan only disappeared after Lao Tzu and Confucius finished their discussion and left."

"This extraordinary scene inspired the poem to describe the magnificent spectacle of the human world, a feast for the eyes and ears."

"Furthermore, in order to elevate the status of martial arts, the Great Qin Martial Arts Alliance, together with the Education Association, took these two lines of poetry and established the 'Amazing Talent Ranking,' which is exclusive to martial arts students, symbolizing a fleeting glimpse of brilliance and the arrival of a great talent!"

"This List of Amazing Talents is very strange. It doesn't appear normally; it's only released once every hundred years, and each time it's released, it signifies the birth of a great talent!"

"The last time the 'List of Amazing Figures' appeared was over a hundred years ago; it's basically released once every hundred years. ¤ (¯´☆✭.¸_)¤ ➅9şℍย𝓧.ςσΜ ¤(_¸.✭☆´¯) ¤"

Therefore, the top figure on each generation's Astounding List is also hailed as an unparalleled being who suppresses an era!

Qin Feng asked in surprise, "Really?"

Just then, a candidate in the front row turned around and said, "Of course it's true! And the preliminary rankings of many top contenders have already been released! They are: One Saint, Two Gods, Three Immortals, Four Daoists, Five Absolutes, Six Evils, Seven Heroes, Eight Eccentrics, Nine Strong, and Ten Demons!"

As soon as the candidates in the front row spoke, the surrounding candidates all crowded around Qin Feng and Dongfang Laoying, chatting amongst themselves.

"This year's martial arts exam was already incredibly competitive, but then the once-in-a-century 'Stunning List' was released! It's making things even more difficult!"

"There's nothing we can do. Qin has the largest population of the seven kingdoms—over 20 billion, almost 30 billion!"

"The number of people in the top ten is already a full fifty-five! That's more than half of the top one hundred spots on the Amazing Ranking! There are less than forty-five spots left for others."

"Do you think it's possible that these 55 people could be squeezed out by a dark horse?"

"How is that possible! Do you know how these fifty-five 'fathers' were chosen? It was the result of deduction by the Yin-Yang School! Do you know what the Yin-Yang School does? They are professional diviners, each one skilled in divination!"

"I've heard that these fifty-five 'older dads' are all true masters who have created their own martial arts! Some of them even created their own paths at a very young age!"

"While we're still painstakingly buying martial arts manuals and learning techniques, true masters have already created their own styles and established their own schools! How can we compare? How can we possibly compete? We just can't win!"

"It has to be said that learning martial arts is a very cruel thing. Arts and science students might have a chance to defy fate, but martial arts is truly a matter of accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing its power. If you fall behind in one step, you'll fall behind in every step! Not only do you need high talent and energy, but you also need good comprehension and background!"

"Who says otherwise? Sigh, you could say these days all martial arts students are headstrong! Luckily, I'm a humanities student, hehe!"

"I was lucky; I'm a science student, and science subjects aren't as rigorous!"

At that moment, a martial arts student dressed in an old-fashioned martial arts jacket pushed his way forward in the crowd and said irritably, "Everyone else only sees the thief eating meat but not the thief getting beaten. You guys are the opposite; you only see the thief getting beaten but not the thief eating meat!"

Those around him, seeing the martial arts student boasting so much, were all unconvinced.

What good would it do to break your head?

"Of the three exams, your martial arts exam has the highest rate of injuries; it's not uncommon, even if you were beaten to death!"

"What's the benefit?"

The martial arts student said smugly, "Benefits? There are many. To name just a few, there's the matter of being summoned by the King."

"The audience with the King here is different from the audience with the top ten of the three rankings. With the top ten of the three rankings, you just kowtow from afar and then get lost!"

"The audience here is among the top ten most prestigious, granting you a place in the palace to drink with the king! His Majesty will grant you one wish, and as long as it doesn't violate the laws of Qin, it can be fulfilled immediately!"

"More than a hundred years ago, when the previous generation of the Astounding List was established, one of the top ten masters on the list told Your Majesty that he wanted to become a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and Your Majesty immediately agreed and granted him that title!"

Upon hearing this, everyone around widened their eyes, and even Qin Feng slowed down his eating pace to listen attentively.

The martial arts student added, "This is only the first reward; the second reward from the Astounding Ranking is the Hundred Schools of Thought Award!"

"To recruit exceptionally talented individuals, the leaders of the various schools of thought would personally accept disciples. For example, figures like Master Meng, whom even mortals might never have the chance to meet, or the great hero of the Mohist school, would be seen by them every day! They would be considered disciples of sages! Upon entering the school, they would be given divine weapons, powerful techniques, and secret manuals! Their treatment would be top-notch! From then on, wherever they went, even the ruler of the kingdom would show them respect!"

Dongfang Laoying couldn't help but ask, "Anything else? Are these the only two rewards?"

The martial arts student's lips curled into a smile. "Of course, it's not just those two! The biggest reward is the third one! That's the Yin-Yang Heavenly Book!"

Everyone was puzzled, asking, "What is the Yin-Yang Heavenly Book?"

The martial arts student laughed, "Everyone knows that the Yin-Yang School inherits the will of heaven and earth, possesses the ability to foresee the future, and knows many secrets of the world, making it the most mysterious sect!"

"The 'Amazing List' is a ranking released only once every hundred years by the Yin-Yang School during a period of great contention!"

"Therefore, the Yin-Yang School values ​​the Astounding Ranking highly. They will bestow a copy of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Book, which records the secrets of heaven and earth, upon the top member of the Astounding Ranking who has just entered the school! And regardless of whether you join the Yin-Yang School or not, they will give you such a copy of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Book!"

"It is said that those who can comprehend this Yin-Yang Heavenly Book will have the opportunity to obtain martial arts supernatural powers from the mythical era, such as the Heaven and Earth Manifestation Technique, Golden Light Across the Earth, and External Incarnation, etc., each of which is a terrifyingly powerful ability..."

Qin Feng sipped his beverage, savoring the names of the saints, gods, immortals, Taoists, five greats, six evils, seven heroes, eight monsters, nine strongmen, and ten demons!

They marveled at the incredible rewards of the Ranking of Amazing Glory.

Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh, the national civil service exam was indeed the national civil service exam, far superior to what his small town of Longcheng could offer.

At first, I thought that the martial arts I created would allow me to stand out among the heroes in Xianyang. But it turns out that I created so many martial arts!

I initially thought the reward for the national civil service exam would just be a better job, but I never expected to trigger such a once-in-a-century amazing reward. As long as you rank in the top ten, you can drink with the king, and the king even promises to help you realize your dreams!

If I have a chance to make it into the top ten, I must promise my whole family a get-out-of-jail-free card. For one thing, if my father and Uncle Ke ever try to assassinate the king, I can go and get them out of trouble.

As for the Yin-Yang Heavenly Book, Qin Feng dared not even think about it. That was a reward only the number one on the Heavenly Ranking would receive. How could he possibly be worthy of being number one?

Although I can let the Yin-Yang Heavenly Book go, I cannot let this little brat, Shao Siming, go!

This little wench has been spreading rumors everywhere with her big tongue, and now whenever I think about having the [Divine Forging Diagram], I feel like I'm going to have my hands stained with blood and become a heinous murderous monster!

If I have the chance to meet Shao Siming during this trip to Xianyang, I must teach her a lesson she will never forget!

If there's no opportunity, create one to teach her a lesson she'll never forget!

Just as Qin Feng was pondering, a new page of his diary turned in his mind's eye.

"Ding! Secret detected!"
