Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Buy Buy Buy_1 Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Buy Buy Buy_1 The sudden update of the Hero List left everyone feeling uneasy.
Firstly, the list was usually updated once a year, but this time it hadn’t even been three months since the last update, so there was little expectation for significant changes in the ranking or any unfamiliar names.
The only change was the introduction of a newcomer to the list, who debuted at fourth place, pushing Luo Xiong down to fifth.
This person was none other than Xu Wufang, who lived in the Secular World.
It could be said that the Secular World was predominantly inhabited by ordinary people, not Ancient Martial Artists, and there had been no previous instance of someone from there making it onto the Hero List.
Even Xu Fangli and Qin Qinglong of Yanjing, whose reputations reached far and wide, couldn’t make it onto the list and hovered just on the fringe.
“This is really scary, isn’t it?
To debut on the list and shoot straight to fourth place, tsk tsk, this is going to stir things up.”
“Shock aside, when you think about it, given his achievements, he even took down a Heavenly Venerable.
What more is there to say?
If I were to rank him, he would be even higher.
After all, who among the top three has shown such capability?”
“Don’t talk recklessly.
You should know that the top three on the list are all prodigies, dragons and phoenixes among men, each with enormous backgrounds.

Just by harnessing the resources of their own forces, these three are not necessarily much weaker than Xu Wufang, and at the very least, they are not inferior to him.”
“I get it now, the high placement on the list seems to boost Xu Wufang, but in reality, it’s a deadly favor.
Xu Wufang is just a commoner in the Secular World, without any notable background.
There must be many who resent him, even longing to confront him, fuelling hatred to the brim.
The Martial Artists who were squeezed further down the list by Xu Wufang are probably all discontent.”
“That said, there is bound to be some excitement ahead, especially for Luo Xiong, since his spot was taken.
He will certainly look to save face, and the Luo Family’s Eight Trigrams Universe Mighty Skill is known to be extremely domineering.”
“…”
The older generation engaged in more discussions, seeing the emergence of newcomers as the new waves that followed the Yangtze River, pushing forward the old waves, a sensation of feeling outdone with time.
This night, the Ancient Martial World was destined to be anything but peaceful.
In the Luo Family of the Ancient Martial World, a young man with his long hair casually draped over his back was seated cross-legged under a colossal waterfall, topless and wearing black shorts.
The waterfall cascaded down from a hundred meters above, with a powerful impact force, but his figure remained undisturbed, as if it was merely a breeze brushing past.
On the shore, suddenly a person arrived, bowed slightly to the long-haired youth, and then reported the changes in the Hero List.
After hearing the report, the long-haired youth couldn’t help but open his eyes, displaying an incomparable calm, unaffected as if the skies were falling.
A slow cold smile curled at the corners of his mouth as he declared in a loud voice, “A castaway from a Secular World family, who merely stumbled upon some fortune and made a distinguished impression, really thinks he’s a prodigy, a True Dragon among men?
Hmph…
I will soon let him see the true strength of the elite on the Hero List.”
In a temple of the Bing Xuan Sect, a woman in snow-white traditional clothing, with a peerless beauty and a body more supple than a lazy cat, stirred slightly.
Her clear eyes sparking with curiosity and her teeth slightly showing, she muttered, “Xu Wufang…
a name I’ve never heard of before, how intriguing.”
Atop a mountain peak, a young man in a green robe had the Green Edge Treasure Sword flash in his hand, and in an instant, his body perfectly overlapped with the afterimage he left in place, while four newly fallen corpses, still warm and all of them Martial Arts Grandmasters from the evil path, lay before him.
With the sound of the sword ringing, the Treasured Sword was sheathed at his back, and the fierce Sword Qi in the air continued to sweep through the void.
“Xu Wufang?
Good, good, good.
He even killed a Hairy Zombie, seems like the Secular World has gotten a bit interesting.”
The green-robed young man standing high above, surveying the lands with a superior view, laughed, “Uses a sword as well?
Then I am all the more eager to meet him.”
In a secret spot of the Kunlun Sect, a man with a full head of white hair yet a youthful face, suddenly raised his head and his aura fiercely surged, achieving a maximal rhythmic pulsation.
His voice, innately frosty and dismissive, said, “Just that?
Not very interesting.”
…
Xu Fan was completely unaware of everything happening in the Ancient Martial World, and he couldn’t care less to pay attention.
The next morning, Xu Fan finished his cultivation and, after freshening up in the bathroom, entered Tongtong’s room.
Ben Ben, who had been sleeping beside Tongtong, immediately sprang towards him with his tongue out.
Xu Fan beckoned to him, and Ben Ben quickly got the hint and happily followed Xu Fan out of the room, wagging his tail.
Once in the courtyard, Xu Fan took out the Blood Corpse Pill, refined from Qin Wudao’s lifeblood, and said softly, “Ben Ben, this good stuff is only for you; you’re getting a real bargain.
Eat it now; this medicine is extremely potent.”
“Woof!” Ben Ben’s eyes lit up, and with a cheerful bark, he stood up on his hind legs, stretched himself out, and bit the Blood Corpse Pill from Xu Fan’s hand.
Although he didn’t recognize what the object was, Xu Fan would only give him good things, so eating it was all that mattered.
Xu Fan then turned and entered the villa to quickly start preparing breakfast.
Now at the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm and possessing the body of a magical beast, Ben Ben could easily withstand the domineering power of the Blood Corpse Pill.
He immediately began circulating the Kylin cultivation method in his belly upon swallowing the pill, swiftly refining its medicinal power, and it did not take long for him to absorb it completely.
And his strength was significantly enhanced; it was estimated that within the Grandmaster Realm, he now ranked among the top echelon.
Thus, Ben Ben managed to outdo everyone and became the strongest member by Xu Fan’s side.

If those Ancient Martial Artists who had practiced their entire lives knew they were surpassed by a pet dog just six months old, they’d likely feel quite sour—thoroughly shown up by a dog.
At eight o’clock, the three women and Tongtong got up, freshened up, and gathered happily in the dining room for breakfast, enjoying a harmonious and jubilant atmosphere with lots of laughter, with Tongtong charmingly making everyone smile.
After breakfast, Xu Fan personally played chauffeur, escorting the three women to the company.
Unable to do otherwise, since Xu Dan had been seriously injured this time and had nearly had her name crossed off by King Yama, escort duties would have to wait until Xu Dan was fully recovered.
Leaving Ben Ben at the company as a bodyguard, Xu Fan embarked on his routine child-minding journey, but today he also needed to buy some furniture.
Not only was the villa quite empty and in need of furnishing, but Tongtong kept clamoring to decorate her room beautifully.
Therefore, father and daughter went “shopping, shopping, shopping” in various Zhonghai malls.
The large items were left to merchant delivery after providing the address, while small items filled the car to the brim until there was no more room to spare.
Apart from the necessary furnishings, Xu Fan also bought many other items, with the focus being on satisfying Tongtong’s play needs, such as slides and swings.
Money and space were no issues, so he even considered turning part of the yard into a miniature amusement park.
To this end, Tongtong was beyond delighted, planting seven or eight kisses on Xu Fan’s face as a thank you, making Xu Fan beam with joy.
After ending the joyful shopping spree, Xu Fan didn’t return to the villa until two in the afternoon and started to decorate.
At three-thirty in the afternoon.
An unexpected visitor arrived, parked her car beside the villa’s gate, and stepped down—a young woman with a slim waist, tall stature, and ample bosom, a gentle smile on her face, and her long hair in violet-red waves.
She wore a halter-neck long dress with an extremely high slit that revealed a large expanse of fair skin.
