Chapter 1246: About Top-Tier Factions
Su Chen's cultivation took him until dinnertime, and after dinner, the ladies went about their respective activities again.
Some chatted in the living room, some chatted by the hot spring pool, some soaked in the hot spring, and some cultivated in their rooms. Lin Ruoxue and Du Hanbing took Xiaoxun out shopping.
Everyone really does whatever they want here nowadays, with happiness and harmony, naturally feeling comfortable and at ease!
This is what Su Chen is very happy to see!
Su Chen wandered around for a while and then walked to the entrance of the nearby courtyard, and then pushed the door open and went in.
At this moment, Ouyang Jing and the others were cultivating in the room. Hearing footsteps, they also came out and then sat in the living room.
Su Chen often comes by for a chat now and then, just to pass the time.
"By the way, Yunlong, when you took old Sun out last time, what did you do?"
After chatting for a while, Su Chen casually asked, taking a sip of tea.
"Big brother, once you mention this, I just..."
Upon hearing this, Yunlong immediately burst into laughter.
"Yunlong, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't be polite!"
As soon as Sun Yang heard these words, he became anxious!
"Tell us, what happened exactly?"
Seeing Sun Yang's reaction, Ouyang Jing was also very curious and asked with a smile.
"This is something big brother and Ouyang asked me!"
Yunlong ignored Sun Yang's threat and said with a smile:
"I took him for a massage, and when the therapist needed him to take off his shirt for an essential oil massage, the female therapist was just about to take his shirt off, and he got scared and ran out!"
"Ah, seriously, it was a waste of my several hundred bucks!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen and Ouyang Jing burst into laughter!
Old Sun was black with rage, glaring at Yunlong, as it indeed was quite embarrassing!
Su Chen knew that Sun Yang was a bit awkward when interacting with women, but he didn't expect him to be this awkward!
"Old Sun, it's really time for you to find a woman!"
Su Chen patted Sun Yang on the shoulder, speaking sincerely.
"I think so too!"
Ouyang Jing nodded in agreement.
Hearing Su Chen and Ouyang Jing's words, Sun Yang became even more embarrassed!
It was all because of Yunlong, this guy, he knew sooner or later this matter would come out of his mouth, and sure enough!
Even though his cultivation level is much higher than Yunlong's, he couldn't really beat her up!
Fortunately, everyone just laughed, joked a bit, and that was the end of it.
"By the way, Ouyang, how much do you know about the super first-rate forces in the Ancient Martial World? Tell me about it."
After a while, Su Chen suddenly asked.
By now, he basically had a sense of the strengths of the first-rate forces in the Ancient Martial World; given his current strength, he didn't really pay much attention to them!
However, he knew little about those mysterious super first-rate forces. The only potential interaction might be Qin Nishang, and he guessed she might belong to one of those super first-rate forces.
As for the others, he really had no clue.
"Actually, I don't know too much about it either, for the most part, it's hearsay from older generations at home, so I'll share what I know."
Ouyang Jing said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, not only Su Chen but also Sun Yang and Yunlong perked up their ears, full of curiosity!
Even though they were quite far from that world right now, it didn't stop them from being interested in that powerful world.
"First of all, super first-rate forces are far fewer than first-rate forces. Of course, they are even less than second-rate forces; there aren't many overall."
Ouyang Jing began to explain.
Su Chen and the others nodded in agreement upon hearing this; it's normal, considering, every world is like a pyramid, with fewer entities at the top!
"Secondly, it's about strength. In super first-rate forces, experts at the Solidifying Pill Realm are not rare; many forces have such experts!"
Ouyang Jing continued.
Hearing this, Su Chen was somewhat calm, but Sun Yang and Yunlong were a bit shocked, given that Solidifying Pill Realm was far too distant for them right now!
To know, Sun Yang had cultivated so intensely, yet he only reached the Meridian Expansion Sixth Layer, while Yunlong used the Jade Spirit Pill to suddenly break into the Meridian Expansion First Layer!
"By the way, Ouyang, say a bit more about the Ten Martial Geniuses."
Yunlong inquired, as the Ten Martial Geniuses were all young people, making him more interested in that aspect and giving himself some motivation!
"To be honest, the Ten Martial Geniuses are just something first-rate forces concocted out of vanity, and it's not to be taken seriously."
Ouyang Jing said with a bitter smile:
"It's about trying to bind themselves on the same level as others somewhat, even if by thick skin."
Upon hearing Ouyang Jing's words, Su Chen and the others also laughed.
"Besides, the ranking has been around for several years, and quite a few young people from super first-rate forces have grown up; their talents and resources are incomparable to young people from first-rate forces, not to mention that young people's progress is swift!"
Ouyang Jing continued:
"Moreover, I've heard that recently, some extraordinary young people have emerged from super first-rate forces! Even if I've now broken through to Kaiyuan Middle Stage, I wouldn't dare to claim to definitely be in the Ten Martial Geniuses!"
"However, one thing is acknowledged throughout the Ancient Martial World, which is that the top three or four of the Ten Martial Geniuses are truly geniuses and monsters, worthy of the title real Martial Geniuses! The gap with the remaining five or six is substantial!"
"Thus, there's another saying in the Ancient Martial World, that the Ten Martial Geniuses should be called the Four Martial Geniuses, and the latter rankings are merely a gimmick. Nonetheless, being ranked does mean they're certainly outstanding among the younger generation!"
Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but nod; Ouyang Jing's words seemed quite fair and aligned with the truth.
"However, neither the division of super first-rate forces nor the ranking of the Martial Geniuses is comprehensive and hasn't included all forces."
"What do you mean by that?"
Su Chen asked, perplexed.
"Because the divisions and rankings exclude the Evil Path and some special forces, as the Righteous Path folks disdain aligning with the Evil Path. Yet, no one dares to underestimate the Evil Path; even those super first-rate forces try to avoid provoking them, plus some other special forces that are hard to categorize and rank, hence they're excluded!"
After hearing what Ouyang Jing had to say, Su Chen and the others gained a bit more understanding of the super first-rate forces.
"It seems I have to work harder in my cultivation, hoping to reach that level soon!"
Yunlong's eyes showed a hint of determination as Sun Yang had a similar look beside him!
"Don't worry! You'll surpass them sooner or later!"
Su Chen said with a smile.
In fact, they aren't lacking in talent; Sun Yang's previous hinderance was lacking resources compared to others, and Yunlong hadn't been cultivating long enough.
Now the situation is very different, and Su Chen is quite confident in them!
