Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 37 The Great Xia Dynasty Announces the List of Extraordinary Beings, Featuring the Strongest Ice-Type Zanpakuto
Having made his decision, Ye Xuan naturally had no intention of staying in the Hangzhou Nature Reserve any longer. A week had passed, and Ye Xuan and Lin Miao returned to the villa by car.

Although Lin Miao earnestly invited Ye Xuan to visit her home before parting, Ye Xuan declined, thinking that Lin Miao's parents were there and to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

After returning home, Ye Xuan went straight to the bathroom.

The warm water washed over his body, gradually washing away the bloody smell that seemed to have seeped into his body over the past week. He leaned back against the edge of the bathtub, closed his eyes, and recalled his experiences over the past few weeks.

Although in the later stages of the battles in the Misty Mountains, it was difficult for any mutated beasts to pose a threat to him, the long period of fighting did indeed cause a subtle change in his mentality.

To call him bloodthirsty might be an exaggeration, but it's undeniable that his killing instincts were indeed stronger than before he entered the mountains.

This change is neither good nor bad; he himself is not someone who likes to reason with others.

Those who provoke him will only face a single sword strike.

If you have something to say, catch this sword first, otherwise, take your nonsense and tell the King of Hell.

After washing up, Ye Xuan put on a bathrobe and went to the study.

He casually opened his laptop and started browsing the latest news.

Aside from the battles in the Misty Mountains, he devoted almost all his energy to cultivation during this period, and hadn't paid attention to the changes in the outside world for a long time.

For him, his mobile phone has become nothing more than a tool for telling time.

This would have been impossible before.

The blue light from the screen reflected on his sharply defined face as he casually scrolled through the mouse until a striking news headline suddenly caught his eye:

[The Great Xia Dynasty officially releases information about extraordinary individuals for the first time]

The title is also labeled with the tags "Exclusive" and "Hot".

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow and clicked on the news article.

"According to the latest announcement from the Heavenly Pivot Bureau of the Great Xia Dynasty, in order to standardize the management of extraordinary individuals, the power ranking list of registered extraordinary individuals within the Great Xia Dynasty is now officially released. This list was jointly assessed by the Heavenly Pivot Bureau and several authoritative institutions, and includes individuals with superpowers and holders of treasures from all heavens."

"Note: This list only includes information on a portion of the extraordinary individuals whose information has been reviewed and approved for public release. Other individuals will not be disclosed for the time being due to reasons such as the security of the Great Xia or personal privacy."

Ye Xuan stared at the line of small print, but it didn't seem unexpected.

Revealing only information about those with supernatural abilities and those who possess the treasures of the heavens can make the people outside the world more confident in the power of the Great Xia, and also make other countries more wary.

However, given the Great Xia's characteristic of "showcasing one generation, keeping one generation secret, testing one generation, and developing one generation," even without this note, no one would believe that the Great Xia had actually revealed all the extraordinary individuals.

"I just don't know if what Su Mengyao said at the time, that there are currently thirty-five registered holders of the treasures of the heavens in the Great Xia, besides me and Elder Zhong, is true."

"Or perhaps, the thirty-five people she mentioned are only the thirty-five people on the surface, and in reality, the Tian Shu Bureau is hiding more."

Ye Xuan casually clicked on the list details. As the page loaded, an exquisite dynamic ranking list unfolded on the screen, with detailed strength ratings and descriptions of main abilities next to the name of each person on the list.

【TOP 1: Zhong Shanhai (Elder Zhong)】

[Ability: Holder of the Geo Archon Zhongli Template]

[Comment: Master of the laws of rock element, capable of summoning celestial stars to fall; guardian deity of the Great Xia Dynasty]

【TOP 2: Gu Che】

[Ability: Devil Fruit - Mythical Zoan - Azure Dragon Form]

[Comment: Possesses the ability to transform into a dragon and can control wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning; currently serves as the chief instructor of the East China Sea Theater.]

【TOP 3: Lu Jing】

[Ability: Logia-type - Flame-Flame Fruit]

[Comment: Elementalized body, immune to ordinary physical attacks, can freely create and manipulate flames] [TOP 4: Lin Ruoxi]

[Ability: Holder of the Eye of God (Lightning Element)]

[Comment: Genshin Impact embarks on the path to godhood, wielding the power of lightning.]

【TOP 5: Shen Mo】

[Ability: Zanpakuto - Hyōrinmaru]

[Comment: The strongest ice-type Zanpakuto. Its spiritual power can freeze water in the air to form ice dragons, and it can control the weather.]

【TOP 6】

Looking at the information of the extraordinary individuals on the list, Ye Xuan noticed that apart from the initial seven who were holders of treasures from all heavens, the rest were basically all people with superpowers, and they all matched the information that Su Mengyao had given him.

Devil Fruit, God's Eye, Zanpakuto, Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

However, he did not expect that someone would obtain the Mythical Zoan-type Azure Dragon Fruit, the same fruit of Kaido of the Beasts in One Piece.

Although Kaido of the Beasts became one of the Four Emperors because he is Kaido and not because of the Blue Dragon Fruit, it is still one of the top Devil Fruits in the pirate world and is no less than any other Devil Fruit.

Let's not even talk about the Flame-Flame Fruit; there's not much to say about Logia-type Devil Fruits.

But the owner of Hyōrinmaru is only ranked fifth? That's unexpected, even unbelievable.

They couldn't possibly be unaware of the significance of being called "the strongest among ice-type Zanpakuto".

Although Hyōrinmaru may seem less powerful than Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's Ryūjin Jakka in Bleach, that's because Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni is too strong.

In fact, Hyōrinmaru and Ryūjin Jakka are definitely Zanpakutō of the same level.

If Aizen had used Hyorinmaru instead of Hitsugaya Toshiro, Aizen wouldn't even have needed to rely on the power of Kyoka Suigetsu to deceive Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's senses; he could have simply gone in and fought him head-on.

After all, in the world of Shinigami, spiritual pressure reigns supreme over everything else.

"So, it's because your own spiritual power is insufficient that you can't use the power of Hyōrinmaru?"

"Can't even achieve initial liberation?"

"If he can achieve Shikai, he'll at least be no weaker than those two who ate Devil Fruits."

If this ranking is correct, then the only reason Ye Xuan can think of for his opponent being unable to defeat the two Devil Fruit users even with Hyōrinmaru in hand is that he is unable to unleash the Hyōrinmaru's Shikai.

If he had known the truth, he wouldn't have ranked so low.

"However, apart from Elder Zhong, are the other holders of the Heavenly Treasures only at this level?"

"Whether it's a Devil Fruit, a Zanpakuto, or even the Eye of God, it's all the same."

"The spiritual energy revival has only lasted for a little over three months. Even if they develop Devil Fruits and the Eye of God very quickly, they probably can't be considered very strong."

"After all, humans in the real world don't have the physical constitution of those people in the One Piece world."

"The gap in strength is quite large."

Ye Xuan didn't know if the Tian Shu Bureau had any hidden holders of even stronger Heavenly Treasures, but based on this list alone, he felt that he had overestimated the power of the Tian Shu Bureau.

Previously, he felt that no one in the Great Xia Dynasty could threaten him except for Elder Zhong, because he was certain that Elder Zhong was stronger than him; but now, it seems that only Elder Zhong is stronger than him?

If any of them had a strength close to that of Elder Zhong, the gap in strength between the second and first place wouldn't be so large.
