CHAPTER 1657: CHAPTER 1657: FRIENDS OF A NEAR THIRD-RATE POWER

"Yes."

Politi Hanson nodded, "The Overleaping Rankings is an extremely valued list within the Sky-scraping Mansion’s territory for Martial Artists and Taoist Cultivators under fifty years old. So, a person only has one chance in their lifetime to participate in the ranking battle of the Overleaping Rankings."

"The Overleaping Rankings have only ten individuals on the list... The rankings of these ten people are decided during the ranking battle and last for fifty years. Therefore, within the Sky-scraping Mansion, the Overleaping Rankings is a list of extraordinary significance."

Politi Hanson continued.

Wyatt Barnes was enlightened.

With Politi Hanson’s explanation, he gained a certain understanding of the Overleaping Rankings.

Simultaneously, he could sense that within the Sky-scraping Mansion’s territory, being listed on the Overleaping Rankings is a matter of great honor.

"Precisely because the Overleaping Rankings represent the outstanding individuals of each generation in the Sky-scraping Mansion, even the Fourth-rate Power ’Sky-scraping Mansion’ itself regards the Overleaping Rankings highly... Moreover, many years ago, the Sky-scraping Mansion established a rule that only the descendants who were once listed on the Overleaping Rankings could be eligible to compete for the next House Master position."

Politi Hanson said, "And the current House Master in this area of the Sky-scraping Mansion wants to pass the House Master position to his son, which is the Junior House Master... So, the Junior House Master must be in the top ten of the Overleaping Rankings, otherwise, he’s destined to miss out on the House Master position of the Sky-scraping Mansion for life."

"However, that Junior House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion, though he is a hedonist and likes to play with women, it must be said, he is a Martial Dao genius! Although it’s very difficult for him to reach the first place in the Overleaping Rankings, with his strength, getting into the top three should be no problem."

Politi Hanson added.

"Uncle Hanson, you suddenly bring up the Overleaping Rankings... Could it be that the battles in this ranking are life-and-death?"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes flashed, and he asked directly.

He believed that Politi Hanson wouldn’t mention the Overleaping Rankings without reason, especially after he asked Hanson if there was another way to resolve the disaster for Julia without implicating the Green Wave Hanson House.

"Exactly."

Politi Hanson nodded, "The battle for the Overleaping Rankings disregards life and death, which is also an ancient tradition passed down in the Sky-scraping Mansion’s territory... The rule exists to ensure that the young generation of the Sky-scraping Mansion competes with all their might."

"In this way, as long as someone can eliminate the Junior House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion during the Overleaping Rankings contest, the Sky-scraping Mansion will not involve Green Wave Hanson House? And the marriage between the Junior House Master and Julia will end without consequence?"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"That’s right."

Politi Hanson nodded again, followed by a bitter expression, "However, even if there are one or two participants stronger than the Junior House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion, they will surely show restraint considering the reputation of the mansion. As for the others, they are unlikely to match him."

For this reason, he did not believe the Junior House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion would be killed during the ranking battle of the Overleaping Rankings.

He brought up the Overleaping Rankings to make Wyatt Barnes realize that, aside from him personally eliminating the Junior House Master, there was no other way to save his daughter from danger.

"Uncle Hanson, do you know the strength of that Junior House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"Middle Saint Realm."

Politi Hanson spoke solemnly, "Years ago, I heard he broke through to the Middle Saint Realm... Nowadays, because the ranking battle of the Overleaping Rankings is about to start, the Sky-scraping Mansion will surely open up the best cultivation resources for him. Therefore, during the ranking battle, his breakthrough to the Middle Saint Realm mid-phase is not impossible."

"Middle Saint Realm mid-phase?"

Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow.

To his knowledge, even the strongest existence among Sixth-rate Powers was merely at the ’Middle Saint Realm.’

Could the Junior House Master of a Fourth-rate Power break through to the ’Middle Saint Realm’ at less than fifty years old?

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes profoundly recognized the fearsome power of a Fourth-rate Power!

"Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said he could reach the top three during the ranking battle of the Overleaping Rankings."

Politi Hanson sighed.

"Uncle Hanson, besides the age restriction for participating in the ranking battle of the Overleaping Rankings, are there any other requirements? Can someone not from the Sky-scraping Mansion’s territory participate?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"In theory, anyone under fifty can participate... Of course, people outside the Sky-scraping Mansion’s territory generally won’t join the ranking battle of the Overleaping Rankings because each Fourth-rate Power holds similar list competitions every fifty years, only at different times."

Politi Hanson said.

Wyatt Barnes nodded, a flicker of imperceptible brilliance in his eyes.

"Uncle Hanson, do you trust me?"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes raised his head, looking at Politi Hanson, and asked.

Politi Hanson was startled, not knowing why Wyatt Barnes asked this, but under his gaze, he still nodded, "Although it’s the first time I’ve met you, I’ve heard of you more than once from Julia’s mouth, knowing you are someone to be trusted... So, I trust you."

"Thank you, Uncle Hanson."

Wyatt Barnes expressed his gratitude and then continued, "Uncle Hanson, after coming to the Martial Dao Sacred Land, I met a friend who is not much older than me, but whose strength far exceeds mine. Years ago, when I first met him, he was at the peak of the Little Saint Realm."

"Now, he’s surely broken through to ’Middle Saint Realm’!"

Wyatt Barnes said with piercing eyes, "I plan to find him and have him act during the Overleaping Rankings, to kill the Junior House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion!"

Boom!!

Wyatt’s words fell like a bolt from the blue, leaving Politi Hanson stunned.

To him, this was undoubtedly a surprise.

"Are you confident?"

As he had said earlier, he did not doubt Wyatt’s words, but what concerned him more was whether Wyatt’s friend had the strength to surpass the Junior House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion.

"Uncle Hanson, he’s only a few months older than me... Over the years, he must have broken through the ’Middle Saint Realm.’ Even reaching the ’middle stage of the Middle Saint Realm’ or the ’late stage’ is not impossible."

Wyatt nodded with utmost certainty.

His words made Politi Hanson’s eyes light up with hope.

To be honest, although he had made up his mind to personally deal with the Junior House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion, it was a last resort.

If there was a way to solve the problem his daughter faced without implicating the Hanson Family of Rippling Waves, he would naturally be willing to try... Especially because this plan was proposed by Wyatt.

As he had said, even though it was his first time meeting Wyatt, he already knew that Wyatt was someone trustworthy.

So, he did not doubt Wyatt’s words.

"Moreover..."

Wyatt spoke again, but this time, he piqued Politi Hanson’s curiosity. Seeing the eager look in his eyes, he continued, "I suspect he might be from a quasi Third-Rate Power in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land... Because casually, he could produce many third-grade Holy Stones."

Quasi Third-Rate Power!

One had to say, Wyatt’s words once again shocked Politi Hanson.

Though a quasi Third-Rate Power is technically still a fourth-rate power, it surpasses common fourth-rate powers to a certain extent.

The Sky-scraping Mansion, though strong, is just an ordinary fourth-rate power.

The difference from a quasi Third-Rate Power is not just slight.

And the cultivation resources controlled by quasi Third-Rate Powers are better than those of ordinary fourth-rate powers. Their Holy Stone mines are the best in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land and can produce many third-grade Holy Stones abundantly.

"Can you really get in touch with him and have him help?"

Politi Hanson stared at Wyatt intently, asking somewhat brokenly.

To make a leader of a fifth-rate power lose composure shows how shocking Wyatt’s words were to him.

"Uncle Hanson, this matter concerns Julia’s lifelong happiness. I wouldn’t dare joke about it."

Wyatt said with a serious expression.

"Moreover, Uncle Hanson, there’s no harm in believing me for now. If you plan to deal with the Junior House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion yourself, waiting until the Overleaping Rankings battle is over isn’t too late... right?"

Wyatt added.

"Wyatt, if you can truly invite your friend to kill the Junior House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion during the Overleaping Rankings, Uncle Hanson owes you a big favor!"

Politi Hanson said with a solemn expression.

"Uncle Hanson, it’s too formal of you to say that... This matter, it’s something I should do. Back in the day, Julia helped me quite a bit, and I’ve long treated her as a ’little sister.’ Helping a little sister doesn’t require repayment."

Wyatt said earnestly.

"I was too formal."

Politi Hanson nodded.

After Politi Hanson left, Karina Hanson immediately approached Wyatt and curiously asked, "Brother Leandro, what did my father say to you that was so mysterious?"

"Not much. Just discussing with me if there’s a way to help you get through this difficulty."

Wyatt looked at Karina dotingly and said.

"Brother Leandro, this matter isn’t that simple."

Karina smiled wryly, in her heart somewhat resigned to fate.

For her father, and for the Hanson Family of Rippling Waves, she was prepared to sacrifice herself.

"Whether it’s simple or not, we’ll find out in due time... Julia, Wyatt will be leaving for some time. Take good care of yourself. Perhaps when you see Wyatt again, the problem you’re facing now will have been solved."

Wyatt said to Karina.

"Brother Leandro, you’re leaving?"

Karina’s face changed slightly, biting her lip as she murmured, "Brother Leandro, can’t you stay a little longer? I... I..."
