Chapter 470: Wanted List Ranking

"Everyone, introduce yourselves to this new brother. From now on, we're family, working together to defeat the Ancient Clan, liberate the entire Ancient Saint Realm, and create a harmonious future." Xia Zehua, holding a large piece of meat in one hand, swallowed it in one gulp and shouted.

"I'm from the Water Realm, a scout for the Justice Squad. My name is Zhu Yun." A thin man in front gnawed on a piece of fat and said cheerfully.

"I'm from the War Realm, a combat member of the Justice Squad. My name is He Chenghan." A young man beside Zhu Yun, carrying a large hammer on his shoulder, also spoke with a smile.

...

Lin Fan nodded as he watched the group introduce themselves—people from various realms and clans now gathered together to fight the Ancient Clan.

"I'm from the Horn Realm, my name is Mu Liang. I'm on the wanted list." Mu Liang, with a single horn on his head, said smugly.

"You brat, showing off again. You got lucky and killed an Ancient Clan decurion last time, and you've been bragging ever since. You're embarrassing the Justice Squad. Brother Lin, don't mind him; he just likes to show off." Xia Zehua scolded Mu Liang, but he was happy inside because every member of their squad had their uses.

"Wanted list?" This was the second time Lin Fan had heard of it. "Brother Xia, what exactly is this wanted list?"

"Oh, right, Brother Lin just ascended, so you probably don't know. The wanted list records anyone who kills an Ancient Clan member. The will of the Ancient Saint Realm senses it and transmits it to the Ancient Clan's headquarters, where it's recorded and published throughout the realm."

"The will of the Ancient Saint Realm is despicable. This undoubtedly leaves those who resist the Ancient Clan with nowhere to hide. If anyone delivers a wanted person to the Ancient Clan, they get rewarded. And if the Ancient Clan kills someone on the list, they receive a power infusion from the will of the Ancient Saint Realm." Xia Zehua said bitterly, but there was nothing they could do—it was clearly an unfair fight.

"I see." Lin Fan now understood.

"Brother Lin, look." Xia Zehua took a booklet from his storage ring. "This is the wanted list. It records everyone who is wanted."

Xia Zehua tapped it with his finger, and dense text appeared.

"These are the rankings. The first page lists the most wanted. Every one of them is a hero in the eyes of the myriad races." Xia Zehua said.

Lin Fan took the booklet and examined it carefully.

He didn't know the top twenty names on the first page, but there were introductions and the time they ascended to the Ancient Saint Realm.

"See, if I enter my name, I can look myself up." Xia Zehua entered his name, and the content of the wanted list suddenly changed.

"Xia Zehua, Wing Clan. Killed two Ancient Clan centurions and sixty Ancient Clan soldiers. Reward: Ancient Clan decurion position. Rank: 45,002,120."

Lin Fan looked at this entry. The race was clearly stated, along with the Ancient Clan members he had killed, the reward, and even a rank. In Lin Fan's view, the will of the Ancient Saint Realm was quite impressive.

"Hehe... Brother Lin, you see? In the entire Ancient Saint Realm, we're not the only ones fighting the Ancient Clan. Many others are like us, struggling against them. But the Ancient Clan's numbers are too great; even the number of ascended beings from the myriad races is less than one percent of the Ancient Clan." Xia Zehua said.

"Now look at mine." Mu Liang stepped forward and entered his name.

"Mu Liang, Horn Clan. Killed one Ancient Clan decurion and thirty Ancient Clan soldiers. Reward: Ancient Clan member. Rank: 130,521,432."

Seeing his rank, Mu Liang raised his head proudly. "See? That's my rank. It's low, but I've improved a lot. If I kill a few more Ancient Clan members, my rank will go up."

"You're getting cocky again. How many times have I told you not to be proud, to be humble?" Xia Zehua looked at Mu Liang starting to show off again and spoke with frustration.

"Got it, Captain..." Mu Liang drooped his head.

"How do you get this wanted list?" Lin Fan looked at the booklet in their hands and asked curiously.

"We had it when we ascended. It was in our storage rings. Brother Lin, you didn't know?" Xia Zehua said.

"Uh..." Lin Fan was taken aback. He glanced at his storage ring, which he hadn't looked at in a long time and had forgotten about. When he opened it, he saw a booklet lying quietly inside. He sighed helplessly.

"This?" Lin Fan took out a palm-sized booklet from his storage ring.

"Yes, that's it." Xia Zehua nodded.

"Have you killed any Ancient Clan members?" Mu Liang asked Lin Fan. He had the lowest rank in the squad, and with a newcomer here, he naturally wanted to show off.

"Yes." Lin Fan nodded. He had forgotten exactly how many, but it was a lot.

"Captain, let's check him out." Mu Liang said with a grin.

"I know what you're thinking." Xia Zehua glanced at Mu Liang, seeing through his little scheme—he just wanted to show off in front of the newcomer.

"Captain, if you won't check, I will." Mu Liang was determined this time. If he couldn't show off in front of a newcomer, what fun was life?

Without waiting for the captain to say more, Mu Liang took out his wanted list and entered Lin Fan's name.

Mu Liang waited with a smile, expecting the newcomer's rank to be far below his. He had killed an Ancient Clan decurion and thirty soldiers—how could a newly ascended person compare?

But then, when Mu Liang saw the entry on the wanted list, he was completely stunned, forgetting even what he was about to say.

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Zehua saw Mu Liang standing motionless and sighed. This kid was always causing trouble.

He hoped Mu Liang would spare Lin Fan some face. Although not killing any Ancient Clan members was embarrassing for anyone, they were all family now—how could he act like this?

"That's enough, or I'll get angry." Xia Zehua saw Mu Liang's mouth agape and thought he was about to flaunt his own achievements to show off.

He had to stop this disharmonious behavior.

"No, Captain, look..." Mu Liang snapped out of it and turned the wanted list around, looking dumbfounded.

"You..." Xia Zehua sighed and walked over.

The other squad members smiled, thinking Mu Liang's acting was getting more exaggerated.

They just hoped the new brother wouldn't mind—Mu Liang meant no harm; it was just his personality.

"What!"

But at that moment, Xia Zehua suddenly exclaimed, staring at Lin Fan in disbelief.

He never expected that such a heavyweight would be so low-key.
