The Stone Rock Ranking Tournament is held only once a year, and the ranking on the Stone Rock List not only reflects the strength of the major families in Stone Rock City.

The top five on the list are also highly regarded by the three great alliances of the Tianwu Kingdom.

The Stone Rock List is usually dominated by the genius disciples of the four major families, though occasionally a dark horse from a smaller family will emerge.

This kind of competition is also a stage for poor youths to showcase their talents. If you perform outstandingly in the ranking tournament, you can still catch the attention of some powerful forces.

Martial artists who make it into the top ten of the Stone Rock List are the most elite young geniuses in Stone Rock City.

Currently, the strongest contenders for the Stone Rock List are the two genius disciples of the Qin family, Thomas Quinn and Samuel Quinn, both at the fifth level of the Qi Creation Realm. From the Ye family, there is Charles Yates, also at the fifth level of the Qi Creation Realm, and Howard Yates, who is Michael Yates's older brother, at the third level of the Qi Creation Realm. From the Mo family, there is James Moore, at the fifth level of the Qi Creation Realm, and Frank Moore, at the second level of the Qi Creation Realm.

As for the Xiao family, there is only Megan Shaw, at the second level of the Qi Creation Realm. However, Megan Shaw is a Combat Talisman Master and can control a beast with the strength of the third level of the Qi Creation Realm.

Still, compared to the other family geniuses, she is a bit weaker.

For Morgan Yates to make it into the top five of the Stone Rock Ranking Tournament, he would at least need the strength of the third level of the Qi Creation Realm. More importantly, his task is to help Megan Shaw secure a spot in the top five.

Because only by becoming one of the top five on the Stone Rock List can one qualify to enter the three great alliances.

“Miss Xiao, are you joking?”

Morgan Yates gave a wry smile. With his current strength, it was already difficult to defeat a martial artist at the first level of the Qi Creation Realm, especially if the opponent underestimated him. Although Morgan Yates had the attack power of six stones, comparable to the third level of the Qi Creation Realm.

However, combat is about martial skills, technique, speed, and reaction.

“Morgan Yates, I’m not joking. You’re from Stone Rock City, so you should know the situation of my Xiao family. The other three major families each have two participants, but my Xiao family has only one. Besides, you probably don’t want your talent to go unnoticed, do you?” Megan Shaw said seriously.

“What if I don’t help you get into the top five of the Stone Rock List?” Morgan Yates asked. He did want to participate in the Stone Rock Ranking Tournament, because Quentin Yates had entered the tournament at the age of fourteen and even took first place.

When Megan Shaw saw Morgan Yates agree, her beautiful eyes curved into two crescent moons, and her stunning smile made Morgan Yates instantly dazed.

“Morgan Yates, you are not someone meant for mediocrity. As long as you work hard at your cultivation, and with the support of my Xiao family, there’s still hope for you to fight for the top five.”

“All right, since a beauty is inviting me, I have no choice but to give it my all.” Morgan Yates said with a smile.

“Beauty? You haven’t even seen me. How can you be sure I’m a beauty? What if there’s an extremely ugly face hidden beneath my veil?” Megan Shaw said calmly.

“Intuition!” Morgan Yates replied.

Megan Shaw giggled and said, “Starting tomorrow, whenever you have time, you can come directly to my Xiao residence. Frank Shaw will personally instruct you. For the next two months, you probably won’t have an easy time.”

After Morgan Yates left the Bright Moon Pavilion, he returned to the Ye residence. When Morgan Yates entered his room, he saw Little Grace sitting inside, holding a new set of clothes. When Little Grace saw Morgan Yates return, her face immediately lit up with joy. She stood up and said, “Young master Morgan Yates, you’re finally back.”

“Little Grace, didn’t I tell you not to leave Mary Yates’s side?” Morgan Yates said.

“You don’t have to worry, young master Morgan Yates. Miss Mary Yates has already warned Michael Yates, so he probably won’t do anything to me. Last time, I made you a new set of clothes, but Michael Yates tore them up. Today, I made you another one. See if it fits.” Little Grace handed the clothes to Morgan Yates.

The clothes were purple, the fabric looked very nice, and must have cost quite a bit. A warm feeling suddenly welled up in Morgan Yates’s heart. Everything he wore was made by Little Grace.

“Thank you, Little Grace.”

Right in front of Little Grace, Morgan Yates took off his old, faded clothes and put on the new purple ones. Looking in the mirror, he actually looked quite dashing. Morgan Yates was already good-looking, and as the saying goes, clothes make the man. With these new clothes, even in a crowd, no one would call Morgan Yates a country bumpkin.

“Hehe, young master Morgan Yates, you look so much more handsome now.” Little Grace blinked her eyelashes and giggled.

“Haha, that’s all thanks to you, Little Grace.” Morgan Yates laughed.

“Oh no, I forgot to make you a pair of shoes. I’ll go make them now and bring them to you tomorrow.” Little Grace said, twisting her little waist as she left the room.

Morgan Yates looked at his shoes and realized they really didn’t match the new clothes.

“This little girl.”

Morgan Yates sat down cross-legged, and the three strands of dragon power swirling in his dantian once again prepared to charge at the brain’s vital gate.

“I didn’t expect that arm-wrestling match with Frank Moore today would actually awaken my third strand of dragon power. What a pleasant surprise. Now my speed at breaking through the vital gate will be much faster.”

Morgan Yates controlled the dragon power to begin attacking the brain’s vital gate. The three strands of dragon power roared in his dantian, then surged toward the vital gate in his brain.

“Buzz buzz!” The three strands of dragon power struck simultaneously, making Morgan Yates’s head buzz and ring.
