Time flew by and three days had passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Zhu Bin had been training his internal energy and sword techniques diligently. Every morning, he would fight with Ye Gucheng for an hour.
No, he was tortured by Ye Gucheng for an hour.
Even though Gu Cheng Ye's internal strength was on par with Bin Zhu's, Bin Zhu, who had just comprehended sword intent, was still no match for him.
What was worth rejoicing about was that the number of moves Bin Zhu was able to withstand increased rapidly with each passing day. He was defeated in one move, then three moves, then five moves, then seven moves. After three days, Bin Zhu was able to withstand more than ten moves from Gu Cheng.
In three days, Zhu Bin's internal energy had also opened up the first meridian. It was considered extremely fast, and it was even more shocking than his sword technique's improvement. Of course, the further he went, the harder it was to open up the meridian.
Today was the 15th of the month. It was time for Zhu Bin to leave the residence. After turning eight, Zhu Bin would leave the residence on the 15th of every month to read the news released by Wandering Know-it-all.
In this world, the All Knowing Scholar was a huge organization. Its intelligence network covered many countries, including the Great Ming Dynasty. There were even rumors that the headquarters of the All Knowing Scholar organization was established in the Great Ming Dynasty.
Wandering Know-it-all made a living by selling intelligence, and the information was rarely wrong. However, in order to obtain intelligence from Wandering Know-it-all, one had to first have a very high status and sufficient value.
Wandering Know-it-all didn't accept money or property, but favors. For example, if Ye Gucheng wanted to get some information, he might need to help Wandering Know-it-all once, while if Zhu Bin wanted some information, he might need to help Wandering Know-it-all with the power of the Prince's Mansion.
Zhu Bin went out every month not to gather information, but to look at the book that Wandering Know-it-all's organization sold every month-The Wind and Cloud of World of Martial Arts. Although it was only a small booklet, it recorded many major events in the world of martial arts in the past month.
This month, Wandering Know-it-all would not only release World of Martial Arts, but also release the Prodigy Roll once a year.
The Wandering Know-it-all organization had three kinds of rankings, the Young Dragon Ranking, the Prodigy Ranking, and the Beauty Ranking. It was said that there was once a Divine Ranking, but after it was released for an issue, it was abandoned for unknown reasons.
There were seventy-two names on the Youngling Dragon List, which recorded the martial arts masters under the age of twenty. The Sons of Heaven List recorded the martial arts masters under the age of thirty, and the Beauty List was obvious to everyone.
In a luxurious and bustling restaurant, Zhu Bin strolled up to the third floor and sat alone by the window. Behind him stood a middle-aged man in black. A table full of banquet seemed to have been prepared long ago and was waiting for Zhu Bin's arrival.
"Young Master!" A person who looked like a young man quickly walked to Zhu Bin's table and handed over four pamphlets. They were the three lists published by the Wandering Know-it-all organization this month, as well as a volume of "Storms in the Pugilistic World".
He didn't let the coachman get close, even though this restaurant was under the name of King Pingnan's Mansion. The black-clothed middle-aged man behind Zhu Bin took the book from the coachman's hand and handed it to Zhu Bin.
Zhu Bin slowly poured himself a glass of wine before taking the book. He smiled and said,"Shadow, you sit too!"
The middle-aged man in black remained silent as if he had not heard Zhu Bin's words.
Zhu Bin shook his head slightly and stopped persuading him. He slowly opened the book. It was the topmost book, the Prodigy Roll.
The Prodigy Roll was divided into countries. The book in Zhu Bin's hand was Great Ming's Prodigy Roll. As for the other countries 'Prodigy Roll, it would not be publicly released in Great Ming. If one wanted it, they could go to the Wandering Know-it-all organization to buy it at a high price.
The current Zhu Bin did not have the chance to travel abroad at all. He did not have much interest in the prodigies of other countries either. He casually flipped open the Ming Dynasty's prodigy roll.
The first place was still the same as last year, Ye Gucheng, but the evaluation below had changed.
Wandering Know-it-all's evaluation of Ye Gucheng was: The Transcendent Flying Immortal was no longer a sword technique of the Earth Realm. Its sword intent was almost complete. Few people below the Connate Heaven Realm could block the Transcendent Flying Immortal.
This was nothing much, but in the evaluation below, there was a sentence in the annex that made Zhu Bin frown.
It was written that the Transcendent Flying Immortal had a successor, the heir of Pingnan King of the Great Ming Dynasty, who had taken Gucheng Ye as his teacher and learned the Transcendent Flying Immortal.
This was what made Bin Zhu frown. It had only been three days since Gu Cheng had taught him the sword technique, and this book had been sold throughout the entire Ming Dynasty. According to the time, the Wandering Know-it-all organization had probably already known about it when Gu Cheng had taught Bin Zhu the sword technique.
"It's reasonable to say that my King Pingnan's Mansion has a spy of Wandering Know-it-all. However, there are only a few people in the mansion who know about the news of Ye Gucheng spreading the news about the Transcendent Flying Immortal. Or…"
Zhu Bin suddenly had a guess in his heart. This Wandering Know-it-all organization was very likely to be backed by the Great Ming Dynasty, or it could be said that it was controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang. There were spies of the Emperor in the Imperial Residence. This was completely reasonable, or it could be said that this was an open secret.
Zhu Bin shook his head and no longer thought about him. He would know about this matter if he went back and asked his father. He would not be able to come to a conclusion even if he racked his brain here. Thinking of this, Zhu Bin continued to flip through the Great Ming's Prodigy Roll.
