My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Tianyuan City has nine people on the Dragon Gate Ranking, is that a lot? It's not too many.

If Red Shadow had a few more real battles, like using the Eye of Reincarnation for a counter-offensive in a legendary battle, it wouldn't be impossible for her to top the Dragon Gate Ranking.

As the evaluation experts from the One-Handed Chamber of Commerce have said: The battle of the Water Dragon's Lament Illusionary Killing Formation was too brief, and based solely on this battle, it's impossible to assess the true level of 'Shadowlord·Red Shadow.'

Their vision is accurate; they probably already recognized Red Shadow's identity as the Ghost Leader of the Underworld.

However, what the One-Handed Chamber of Commerce certainly didn't expect was that Red Shadow only used a small fraction of her strength during the challenge of the Water Dragon's Lament Illusionary Killing Formation.

The Eye of Reincarnation is the core of Red Shadow's entire combat system.

Duo Lai, Uta, and Lu Liu had indeed utilized their full combat power when they first entered the ranking, but at that time, they were either at the Third-order Peak or just at the Initial Stage of Fourth-order, nowhere near the peak level required for the rankings.

Using this period's Dragon Gate Ranking as a standard, Rakshasa, Uta, Jun, Sophia, Lian Yue, Seventeen, and others all have the capability to rank in the top three, or even first.

Dead Bone and Duo Lai, the two Division Generals at the Fourth-order Limit of the Extreme Realm back in the day, need even less to be said about.

If Tianyuan City were to strive for the rankings with all their might, they might even create the remarkable feat of monopolizing the top ten spots on the list.

But there's no point in doing so.

Mu Yuan would not be so arrogant as to think that there are few opponents worth fighting below the Legendary Realm.

One must not underestimate the people of the world.

He had long heard that in some top-level territories, exceptionally talented young Leader Lords are cultivated with the most lavish schemes, and these elite fighters are trained all the way to the Legendary Realm before they make their debut.

Never having stepped out of their territory, they naturally wouldn't be included in the Dragon Gate Ranking.

Indeed, fighters from top-level territories have historically been scarce on the Dragon Gate Ranking. Only a few have chosen the path of 'sword testing', emerging at the limit of the Fourth-order to challenge various fighters on the Dragon Gate Ranking and forging an unbeatable heart.

Such young fighters often break through to the Legendary Realm and remove their names from the ranking not long after entering the top ten.

In the last few periods, there have been more strong fighters from top-level territories.

Heavenly Splendor City, Evening Elephant City, Han Yue City, etc.

The top ten rankings include someone from the Lord of Han Yue City.

However, Han Yue City's qualifications and heritage are quite shallow and strictly speaking, it doesn't qualify as a top-level territory; it's just that the Lord of Han Yue City made a name for the territory on his own.

The public combat records of these strong fighters from top-level territories are all from exercises or assessments in various advanced academies, without exception.

Otherwise, at least half of the top-level territory fighters on the ranking would need to be removed.

"Because top-level territories are home to many Legendary fighters and their own territories face no crisis, there's naturally no chance for invincible Fourth-order fighters to act,"

"Ordinary territories, whether it's outward expansion, territory defense, subduing Monster powers, cleansing polluted regions or taking on Secret Realm challenges, defending the Great War Zone, and so on, all feature the most important generals of the territory. If these generals are strong enough, they will naturally be included in the Dragon Gate Ranking."

Here in Tianyuan City, if it weren't so secluded, just based on the Tianyuan City defense battle alone, many from the Tian Yuan Division would have had to be included in the ranking.

In fact, even though the Tai Xuan Alliance issued directives on "building cultivation academies, blossoming in culture, martial arts, and skills," many top-level territories still wouldn't send out their Legendary Seeds and top-tier Fourth-order talents.

It's not that their territories lack talent.

They find it sufficient to send a few somewhat decent Fourth-order Leader Level talents to take office in response to the policy.

Even though Lakehaven City has significantly improved the treatment for academy instructors, a top-level Lord... the Lord of Han Yue City might care, but the likes of Nanshan, Heavenly Splendor, or even Beiting, well-established top-level Lords, would not be concerned about such things.

These territories have so many mines they're uncountable.

They're in no short supply of secret techniques, resources, and even if they're lacking some top-tier resource, Lakehaven City wouldn't be able to provide it.

"Strong people like Red Shadow are actually instructors at Lakehaven Academy, invited with considerable effort,"

"Of course, there are also strong people who are already Division Generals at academies."

"The third advanced academy in the main city by Lakehaven Lake, 'Tianhua Academy', was established with investment from Lord Tianhua, and many of its teaching staff are also provided by Lord Tianhua himself."

Just like this period's Dragon Gate Ranking, four of Lord Tianhua's Division Generals are on the list, which is quite telling.

"Speaking of which..."

Mu Yuan stroked his chin, "In the future, when Tianyuan City isn't short on money, we could also invest in building a cultivation academy."

It's not just about receiving some Alliance benefits, but mainly about benefiting the public, right.

The current advanced academies within the Alliance are still few. The Twilight Dominion has them only in Panstone, Red Maple, and Lakehaven Cities. There are, however, a considerable number of primary academies, with accompanying ones in each city-level Official territory. Some group territories and independent territories also have primary academies.

If Tianyuan City were to invest in an advanced academy, making a name for itself would be easy.

When the time comes, just drop a dozen strong figures onto the Dragon Gate Ranking.

But for now, Tianyuan City is too small, lacks the necessary financial strength, and doesn't have the teaching staff, so let's not fail the students.

Beyond teaching combat skills, breakthrough insights, and methods for creating new skills, an advanced academy must also have Alchemy, Potion, Medical, Planting, Forging Departments, and more.

The strength of the academy's teaching staff also attracts these instructors and tutors.

Instructors and tutors teach skills to the students.
