"Yes, I'm back!" The old man laughed heartily and went directly to the spot where Jiang Wuqi was sitting, plopping down onto it.

There was no trace of displeasure on Jiang Wuqi and Jiang Zhongzheng's faces as the old man took Jiang Wuqi's place. It seemed as though that spot was always meant for the old man.

In the Martial Arts World of Bird City, everyone knew that the Jiang Family held the prestigious position among families not because Jiang Wuqi was particularly formidable, but because he had an exceptionally powerful brother, though only a few were aware of his name, Jiang Wulu!

Twenty years ago, during the bloody upheaval throughout Bird City and even the entire Yan Country, Jiang Wulu was a participant. Nonetheless, simply being involved was enough to make many families envious.

"Big brother, is this Ye Xiao really…" Jiang Wuqi had always been curious about who Ye Xiao's ancestors were and why he was so powerful, but no one had been able to answer him—until now, with Jiang Wulu's return.

Jiang Wulu chuckled at Jiang Wuqi's words and asked, "So, who do you think he is?"

"I suspect he might be that person's descendant, but I've never heard of that person having any offspring," Jiang Wuqi said.

Jiang Wulu chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter who his ancestors are; the key is that we should help him."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuqi smiled and said, "That kid is already very strong—it seems like he's reached the Earth Rank. I don't think he needs any help."

"Earth Rank?" Jiang Wulu replied, "Is Earth Rank considered strong? You should know that Earth Rank Martial Artists can't even make it to the top thirty on the Dragon List."

Dragon List!

When Jiang Wuqi and Jiang Zhongzheng heard Jiang Wulu mention the Dragon List, they were both taken aback.

The Dragon List is something only high-level Martial Artists are aware of. Actually, it's not even a tangible thing; it's just a ranking list, a Yan Country Martial Artist strength leaderboard. Anyone can make the list, provided they have the qualifications, and that only qualification is strength.

"Uncle, the Dragon List hasn't been ranked for twenty years. Could it be..." Jiang Zhongzheng looked at Jiang Wulu, surprised.

"Yes, the Dragon List hasn't been ranked for twenty years because, during that grand battle, the Dragon Flag was lost. But half a month ago, the Dragon Flag appeared in the Northern Territory."

"The Dragon Flag has appeared?" After Jiang Wulu finished speaking, both Jiang Wuqi and Jiang Zhongzheng were momentarily stunned.

No one knows when the Dragon Flag first appeared on Yan Country grounds, but every few years or decades, an extraordinarily powerful Dragon Flag holder would hold the Dragon List Tournament, and the hundred Martial Artists who could enter the Dragon List become the strongest in Yan Country.

Jiang Wulu nodded and said, "Twenty-five years ago, the Dragon Flag that had disappeared for eight years reappeared. The Dragon Flag holder spearheaded the Dragon List Tournament, and that time, he emerged victorious against all challengers, becoming the top of the Dragon List and, naturally, the holder of the Dragon Flag."

"Could it be that he's back?" Jiang Wuqi asked.

Jiang Wulu shook his head, "No, word has it that the current Dragon Flag holder is just an ordinary person who happened to come across the Dragon Flag and is preparing to organize the Dragon List Tournament."

"I think all of Yan Country's Martial Artists would love to participate," Jiang Wuqi said.

"Indeed. It's been over twenty years; every Martial Artist desires to become the top of the Dragon List. Now that the Dragon Flag has appeared, the Dragon List Tournament will naturally begin."

Jiang Zhongzheng looked at Jiang Wulu, "Uncle, how does this relate to us?"

"Of course it does because this Dragon List Tournament will be held in Chu City!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuqi and Jiang Zhongzheng were both greatly astonished.

The fact that the Dragon List Tournament would take place in Chu City means that soon, a large number of Martial Artists will be present in Chu City and Bird City, impacting the local Martial Arts families heavily.

"When!" Jiang Wuqi asked.

Jiang Wulu replied, "On New Year's Eve!"

"Who picked this date?" Jiang Wuqi immediately asked.

Jiang Wulu smiled, "Not sure, but I imagine this New Year's Eve will be filled with cries across the Yan Country."

The Dragon List Tournament serves to prove individual strength, so participants usually go all out. Therefore, every tournament sees many Martial Artists perish. After all, becoming one of the top hundred on the Dragon List is a status symbol, greatly benefiting their sects and families.

Men die for wealth, birds die for food!

That is the reasoning!

"Is this Dragon Flag holder doing it intentionally or is there another agenda?" Jiang Wuqi asked.

"Maybe," Jiang Wulu replied.

Jiang Wuqi said, "There's about two months left until New Year's Eve; with Ye Xiao's ability, he might make it into the top hundred."

"What's the point of that?" Jiang Wulu responded.

"It would certainly be beneficial for Ye Xiao," Jiang Wuqi replied.

Jiang Wulu shook his head, "If Ye Xiao is his son, would it still be beneficial?"

"Are you saying..."

"Ye Xiao might not know anything about this yet, but in the next two months, many Martial Artists will come to Chu City. So if anything happens to Ye Xiao, we need to keep an eye out," Jiang Wulu said.

"I've been doing just that ever since you called last time."

Jiang Wulu nodded, sighed, and said, "I hope Ye Xiao can quickly ascend to that level. Oh well, it's enough talk for now—I haven't been back in a while, and I'm quite hungry."

Jiang Wulu's return with the news of the Dragon List astonished both Jiang Wuqi and Jiang Zhongzheng, yet they also felt a surge of eagerness.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiao was utterly unaware of any major events happening in Chu City. Instead, he was rushing toward Yanyuan University in a rundown Jetta.

"Brother Chuan, you're the eldest son of the Jiang family at least—can't you get a better car, at least a newer one?" Ye Xiao said with displeasure as he sat in the passenger seat, addressing Jiang Chuan, who was driving.

"If you don't want to ride, you can get out. Do you think Jiang family's young masters are like those in other families?" Jiang Chuan retorted in irritation, "I bought this car with my salary. It's a good thing I'm not a big spender, or I couldn't even afford this broken Jetta."

"Doesn't your uncle give you a high salary?"

"He wants to, but does he dare? It's my grandpa's intention," Jiang Chuan said helplessly, "I really don't know what Grandpa is thinking."

"You have to polish a jade to make it a gem," Ye Xiao laughed and said, "You're the heir of the Jiang family after all. Grandpa Jiang naturally thinks far ahead."

Jiang Chuan nodded, saying, "That's true, but I didn't expect Grandpa to ask me to follow you to pick up girls today—I'm really in disbelief."
