Emperor Level warriors were scattered widely, there might be one in a small country, therefore the entire continent up to now only had four empires.

At the same time, Emperor Level warriors must be of the nation's bloodline, if an Emperor Level warrior joined another country midway, this couldn't be counted within the ten.

Simply put, these Emperor Level warriors must be cultivated by the home country, and if an Emperor Level warrior fell and others couldn't fill the position, the empire would be canceled and reduced to a kingdom.

These were also rules left from before, no one knew who established them, but everyone followed them.

Originally Emperor Level warriors symbolized martial force, when warriors reached the Emperor Level realm, they could no longer be defined by ordinary concepts, Emperor Level warriors could single-handedly block a hundred thousand troops, simply put, Emperor Level warriors were a country's ultimate weapons.

Those who possessed more ultimate weapons naturally had stronger national power.

Cultivating one Emperor Level warrior required enormous human and material resources, this could indeed show a country's strength, generally Emperor Level warriors besides having talent also needed many external resources.

Of course, some people possessed extremely monstrous talent, this kind of talent couldn't be blocked by lack of resources, but how many such people could appear, the entire continent might have only one or two, naturally this wouldn't affect the above national power calculations.

Perhaps because of this, all countries emphasized warrior cultivation, respected martial prowess, this could be seen from the Dragon Gate Tournament situation.

Although imperial examinations were held in the same period, seemingly not many people paid attention, but Dragon Gate Tournament was different, now people might not know Nangong Su obtained the imperial examination's top scholar, but definitely knew Guxing became Heavenly Wind Kingdom's Dragon Gate Tournament first place, even knew who the top ten were.

Guxing immediately became the focus of entire Heavenly Wind Kingdom's attention, even noticed by other countries, at the same time Mo family's excellent performance this time also made Mo family, originally a weapon-forging family, gain some recognition in the martial world.

But Mo family didn't celebrate long, because Guxing's identity was quickly discovered, after all anyone with intention could find out by investigating, and Guxing and Young Miss didn't deliberately conceal it, one called her Seventh Sister, the other acknowledged it.

At that time Mo family learned there was such a person in their family, but Guxing's meaning was already very clear, she wasn't a Mo family member, didn't even use her original name, this meant she had no connection with Mo family.

Because of this point, many people directly mocked Mo family, making Mo family even with those honors not dare to show off much.

Guxing was a thorn in Mo family's side, especially in Mo family's Great Master's heart, he thought Guxing was cursing Mo family, truly someone with that kind of fate.

Of course, regarding Guxing, Mo family had no thoughts, after all how Mo family treated her before, her drawing clear boundaries with Mo family was reasonable.

Wanting Guxing to return to Mo family was impossible, Mo family's Great Master absolutely wouldn't agree, he just pretended he didn't have this granddaughter, accurately speaking, he never felt he had such a granddaughter.

Current Guxing wasn't enough to make Great Master lower himself to beg her return, therefore this matter temporarily came to an end.

While the outside world was still bustling, Heavenly Wind Dragon Gate Tournament's seventy-three winners were now all in the royal palace, desperately training, they wanted to reach new heights within these three months.

No one gave up this opportunity, receiving Heavenly Wind Kingdom's full support, even Fourth Prince hadn't had this treatment before, previously at most fifty to sixty percent resources, though he could freely access the library.

"I want thousand-year ginseng, don't have it, then five hundred years, also snow lotus..." Xiaoyao reported a list, making the recording person somewhat embarrassed.

"We'll try our best to find these, but we hope you really need them, can't waste them, otherwise we won't provide anything more."

"Of course they're useful, you just go get them," Xiaoyao said casually, "Also I want to borrow your alchemy room, no problem with that."

"We know, seeing what you want, definitely for alchemy, couldn't be for bathing," that person replied, his tone not very respectful because he knew Xiaoyao was just a servant.

But Xiaoyao was Guxing's servant, Guxing left everything to him, so they didn't dare neglect him.

"Bathing isn't impossible either, but the effect would be worse. Alright, I'm going to the library now, when you have things ready, just put them directly in the alchemy room and notify me," Xiaoyao replied.

"Alright."

Heavenly Wind Palace's library had many books Xiaoyao hadn't seen, even some rare volumes that only existed here on the entire continent, even small countries had their unique inheritances, having things others didn't was very normal.

Because of this, Xiaoyao wouldn't miss the opportunity, he came here to read almost every day then borrowed unimportant books.

"Xiaoyao, you're also going to the library, let's go together."

On the way to the library, Xiaoyao met Zhan Bai, this commoner genius was the person here closest to Xiaoyao's status, therefore his relationship with Xiaoyao was somewhat better.

Others seeing Xiaoyao all thought he was just a little servant, not worth much attention, but Zhan Bai was different, he was just a commoner, he felt there wasn't much difference between himself and Xiaoyao, and he didn't care about his genius status, didn't think it was different.

"Yes, you should read more, this opportunity is rare," Xiaoyao said to Zhan Bai.

"Right, I've never seen these secret manuals before, they're indeed much more powerful than what I practiced, now if I fought Guxing I'd have some confidence," Zhan Bai nodded.

Right, this was what Zhan Bai lacked, therefore during this time Zhan Bai almost daily went to read secret manuals, he was the second person who spent most time in the library besides Xiaoyao.

Because of this, the two became quite familiar.

"Your future is very broad, you don't need to just look at my boss, honestly my boss's talent isn't inferior to yours, unless she stops advancing, otherwise you'll have difficulty catching up. But you can treat her as a goal, a competitive opponent, people need opponents to have fun," Xiaoyao said very directly, not speaking euphemistically to make Zhan Bai feel better.

"I don't believe I can't surpass her, don't be biased, sooner or later I'll surpass her, I believe there will be such a day," Zhan Bai said very seriously, his expression like making an oath.

"Very good, confidence can bring out strongest power," Xiaoyao praised.

"Yes, wait and see, I'll show you," Zhan Bai clenched his fist.

"Besides reading those secret manuals, you should also find time for medicinal baths, you've never had them, there will be unexpected gains," Xiaoyao said with a smile.

"What effects?" Zhan Bai asked.

"Try it and you'll know, anyway now all of Heavenly Wind Kingdom's resources are yours to use freely, if you don't use them that's foolish behavior," Xiaoyao said casually.

Not using them would be wasteful, Xiaoyao knew this so desperately requested things, really making Heavenly Wind use full effort, everything possible was provided to Xiaoyao.

"You're right," Zhan Bai smiled.

Previously Zhan Bai would also use these resources, but more or less felt constrained, felt embarrassed, but after Xiaoyao's words he began using them without restraint, cultivating his cultivation to the highest level.

Because of this, Zhan Bai's strength began soaring, and because of this Heavenly Wind Kingdom's king also let Zhan Bai use everything freely, he wanted to see how much potential Zhan Bai had, if possible he would focus on cultivating him.

Arriving at the library, Xiaoyao entered without obstruction, because Xiaoyao was Guxing's representative, now everyone knew Guxing herself never came to the library, only trained every day, leaving all reading to Xiaoyao.

In Guxing's original words, Xiaoyao would absorb things from books then tell me the essence, I don't need to waste this time.

Everyone doubted this point, but since Guxing said so, they didn't say more, just treated Xiaoyao as Guxing, as long as Xiaoyao did things within rules, they wouldn't interfere.

In fact, Guxing wasn't incapable of reading, she wouldn't lose to others, but she knew this opportunity should go to Xiaoyao, because Xiaoyao liked reading these books, before he worked very hard to collect them, using various means to approach Mo family's library, repairing books wasn't accidentally discovered, he created this opportunity himself.

At the same time, Guxing knew Xiaoyao read faster than her and much more thoroughly, she could read at most a few books per day while Xiaoyao could read dozens.

Also, Xiaoyao would tell her useful things, Guxing trusted this completely, because all her mental methods and martial techniques were taught by Xiaoyao alone, her understanding of world martial arts was also from Xiaoyao's explanations and demonstrations.

Even without the above reasons, as long as Xiaoyao wanted to do something, Guxing would definitely help him accomplish it, even if reading herself would have greater benefits, she would give this opportunity to Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao also seized the opportunity, almost daily in this library, determined to finish reading all the books in the shortest time, originally he didn't need this much time, many books he had read, but some versions were different so he also looked through them.
