Vertical day.

Qin Ziling and Blood Spider walked out of the villa.

Today, Blood Spider was wearing a black tight-fitting leather outfit, her stunning figure comparable to a devil's, and her delicate face exuded a mature charm as gentle as a spring breeze.

Qin Ziling was dressed casually, tall and handsome.

A black Rolls-Royce was already waiting at the villa entrance. A burly man in black stood by the car door and said respectfully, "Mr. Qin, the sect leader asked me to wait for you here."

Qin Ziling nodded and then said, "Will it be a problem if I bring one more person today?"

The burly man in black quickly lowered his head: "It won't affect anything, it won't affect anything!"

"Get in the car."

Qin Ziling and Blood Spider sat in the back seat, and the driver started the car and drove away from the villa.

Half an hour later, the car met up with Su Changhu's convoy.

"Mr. Qin, the martial arts tournament will be held at Changsheng Martial Arts Hall!" Su Changhu said.

Changsheng Martial Arts School is located within the territory of the Martial Arts Association. It is a martial arts school run by the Martial Arts Association, and most of the Martial Arts Association's income comes from these martial arts schools.

Qin Ziling nodded and said, "Then let's go."

The group headed straight for Changsheng Martial Arts School.

Inside the car, Qin Ziling and Xue Zhu sat in the back seat, while Su Changhu was in the passenger seat.

"All the major families in Jianghai have been invited to this martial arts tournament, including some martial arts families. Even business families have been invited. After all, this is a relatively important event in Jianghai, and since it involves their interests, they will all gather together," Su Changhu explained to Qin Ziling about the tournament's progress.

Qin Ziling nodded: "As the organizer, the Martial Arts Association will also participate, right?"

Su Changhu nodded: "Yes, after all, this martial arts tournament is a bit special, because according to reliable sources, the national martial arts rankings have begun to be updated!"

"The Dragon and Tiger Ranking?" Qin Ziling was taken aback. Not only him, but even Blood Spider was somewhat puzzled.

Su Changhu looked at Qin Ziling with a strange expression: "Mr. Qin, don't you know about the Dragon and Tiger Ranking?"

Qin Ziling was speechless: "How would I know?"

He truly didn't know about the Dragon and Tiger Rankings; even when he was still in the Dragon Kingdom, he had never heard of them.

Perhaps he's been busy with missions and therefore doesn't know much about these rankings and such.

Thinking of this, Qin Ziling shook his head.

Su Changhu said with some surprise, "At first I thought Mr. Qin was a master on the Dragon Ranking, but I didn't expect that Mr. Qin didn't know about the Dragon and Tiger Ranking."

The Dragon and Tiger Ranking is extremely famous in the martial arts world of China. It is a list designated by the National Martial Arts Association for martial artists across the country. The conditions for being listed are very strict, and it is extremely difficult to secure a spot on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking!

Even the weakest Tiger Ranking has experts who have emerged from countless battles to stand out among many masters!

"The so-called Dragon and Tiger Ranking is actually a measure of a martial artist's combat strength. The stronger the martial artist, the higher their ranking on the list. Moreover, there are two lists: the Dragon Ranking and the Tiger Ranking. Each list has one hundred spots and is updated every three years. Martial artists can challenge the strong on the list based on their own strength. If they succeed in the challenge, they will take the place of the strong on the list!"

Su Changhu said leisurely.

Qin Ziling nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "How high is the threshold for the Tiger Ranking?"

Su Changhu said with a wry smile, "It's extremely high. I'm afraid there are no more than three people in the entire Jianghai City who can make the list!"

"This list is for the whole country, so only exceptionally talented individuals have a chance to break through all the selection processes!"

Su Changhu suddenly remembered something and said solemnly, "That's right, one of our Jianghai grandmasters is a master on the Tiger Ranking!"

Qin Ziling was slightly surprised: "Oh? Who?"

Blood Spider was also somewhat curious.

Su Changhu said in a deep voice, "He is known as Master Jiang. He debuted forty years ago and made it onto the Tiger Ranking ten years ago. At that time, his opponent was only at the peak of the Grandmaster realm. Moreover, the reason he was able to make it onto the list was because he defeated a powerful enemy, who was a near-fourth-rank. Despite being slightly weaker in realm, Master Jiang went all out and launched a desperate counterattack, ultimately defeating his opponent and climbing to ninety-fifth place on the Tiger Ranking!"

"Although this ranking is a bit low, it's still incredibly terrifying! Because those who can make it onto the list are all monsters, many of them possessing the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels! Their strength is far greater than their cultivation level!"

Even at the peak of the Grandmaster level, he's only ranked at the bottom of the Tiger List. It seems this list is quite interesting.

Seeing Qin Ziling's interested look, Su Changhu said, "Besides, those things happened ten years ago. In ten years, although Master Jiang is old, his strength may have become more and more terrifying! Perhaps he has already broken through to the fourth rank!"

Fourth rank!

Blood Spider's expression turned slightly serious.

Qin Ziling nodded: "What's in it for them to compete so fiercely for this list?"

Su Changhu nodded: "Of course! Every master who makes it onto the Dragon and Tiger Ranking receives a resource allocation from the National Martial Arts Association every year. The cultivation resources they receive are incredibly abundant! That's why most of them have been able to stay on the list for so long!"

After a pause, Su Changhu continued, "However, with the nation's resources, there are of course conditions. When the nation is in crisis or encounters insurmountable obstacles, all the martial artists on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking must step forward to serve the nation!"

Qin Ziling understood; so that's what it meant.

In reality, these people are quite free, because what could possibly happen at the national level? There are always people on the front lines protecting them, so there's basically no need for these people in the rear.

"Moreover, as long as you make it onto the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, you'll have a certain reputation in the martial arts world. That alone attracts most martial artists!" Su Changhu said with a smile.

Qin Ziling snapped out of his thoughts and said, "Those veteran grandmasters should also be present at this martial arts tournament, right?"

Su Changhu nodded: "According to the latest news, the main purpose of this martial arts tournament is martial arts exchange, the second is for families to select their retainers, then, they can join the martial arts association to take up positions based on their personal wishes, and finally, they can compete for the Dragon and Tiger Ranking!"

"Recently, a nationwide craze for climbing the rankings has been set off, with many martial artists searching for the strongest on the Dragon and Tiger Rankings to challenge. It's quite a lively scene."

"This time, many martial artists from surrounding cities will likely come to challenge the rankings in Jianghai City!"

"Then we'll see who has the ability to claim a place on the Tiger List!"

Su Changhu still longed for it.

Qin Ziling said calmly, "Don't even think about it. Your injuries haven't healed yet. Just go and watch the show!"

Su Changhu smiled slightly. Of course he knew his own situation; he had absolutely no chance!

Soon, the car arrived at Changsheng Martial Arts School!
