《Path of the Invincible Dragon》Chapter 86: Young Heroes Ranking
Advertisement
In addition to servants of reputable people, the young men and women who would participate in the upcoming magic competition flooded into the Jia Treasure House one by one. For those Mwana recognized, he made simple introductions about them to Kia. Even for those Mwana did not know, there were still some people in the hall that recognized them.
The first young fellow to squeeze through the commotion at the doorway was a young white haired boy dressed in a white robe with blue patterns. The boy’s entire look gave off a careless vibe; he had messy white hair and a laid back nature. Even though his clothes had been crumpled up by all the pushing, this boy simply looked unbothered. The boy’s brown skin and white hair pointed to a possibility that he was most likely of mixed ethnicities.
Further, the boy had a crude wooden sword on his back showing that he was a swordsman. This boy was Sakara Jina, the sole apprentice of Katakata.
Name: “Sleeping Sword” Sakara Jina
Age: 12
Origin: Sunshine Wizard Hall
Young Hero Ranking: #25
Sakara Jina had learned the way of the sword from Katakata the Traveler, one of the peak level masters in Milele’s Sunshine Wizard Hall. The boy specialized in sword magic which put him on the path of becoming a Wizard Knight. Within the wizard hall and Milele town as a whole, Sakara was one of the two strongest young generation experts. Not only was his strength recognized in Milele town but his overall ranking in the country’s younger generation was exceptionally high. He was ranked in the top 30 in the entire country!
The Toro Kingdom had 3 rankings for youngsters in their country. These rankings were:
Young Hero/ine Ranking: this was a ranking for children under the age of 14.
Rising Dragon Ranking: age 15 to 19

Ascended Dragon Ranking: age 20 to 28
“Young Chief, it looks like the place is crowded, we will a make a way for you.”
Within a dew-green carriage parked outside the treasure house, some well built servants were speaking respectfully to a young man. The servants looked ready to join the commotion at the entrance and fight their way through for the boy. From the fact that he had several servants, a luxurious carriage, and from his way of dressing, it was clear that this boy’s origins were not ordinary.
In terms of how he looked and dressed, the boy wore over 10 blue, green, and white necklaces made of crustal and wooden beads. Atop his head, he had a wreath of white and purple flowers tilted to one side. Further, he wore headgear that looked like a black and white shield standing horizontally with his face at the center. Simply put, it was like a shield with a hole where one could insert their face so that the bottom part went under the chin and the top part went over the top of the head. It was like a mask without it truly being a mask.
From the front, the headgear hid his long hair that went all the way down to his back. However, it was not just his accessories that were impressive, even his clothes showed that he was of a higher class. He was dressed in a long beautiful robe that was lavender-brown on the left side and blue-green on the right side.
“There is no need for you to do anything. Patience. I can’t have my own servants fighting with peasants. Think about what that would do to my image.” In response to his servants’ offer, the boy was not too impressed and directly rejected the actions with a haughty tone.

“Sorry Young Chief, this servant was wrong.”
“No need to be sorry, I understand. Although my family took you in, it is hard for you to get rid of that peasant mentality.” With a sigh, the boy continued side handedly berating his servants.
“We do not have to fight and scramble like some commoners. Why is that? Because what talks within a treasure house is money! This is not ‘first-come-first-served’. It is ‘whoever has more money has the loudest voice’. Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes, Young Chief. Thank you for educating us.” In response to the young boy’s lecture, the servants could only nod and listen.
“The mission this time is very important for me. That’s why I had you guys gather everything and then some. I have to make father proud during this exchange and cement myself as the clans’ sole inheritor making the ‘Young Chief’ name not just a title but reality! Even the prince is coming so the competition this time is no joke. Don’t just look at the surface level. This competition has another hidden purpose.”
“Hidden purpose?!” All the servants could not help but exclaim at the same time when they heard the boy’s statement.
“Yes, there is another hidden purpose in this competition: to measure the promise of the younger generation.”
Hearing this, the servant’s could not help but be impressed by their Young Chief’s intelligence.
“We must succeed at all costs.” The boy added in an almost somber tone.
“Young Chief, What is there for you to worry about?” One of the servants could not help but comment, “There is no way you the Young Chief won’t stand out during this competition. After all, no one truly knows your true strength outside the family. Even the Young Heroes Ranking does not represent your true strength at all especially since you have never shown your ‘True Face’!.”
Hearing this, a fierce but determined light entered the young boy’s eyes. Indeed, he was amazing. There was no need for him to worry like some commoner. Even when greatly suppressing himself, he still had a very high raking nationwide: The #27 rank Almasi Kishirani.
Name: “Diamond Riot” Almasi Kishirani
Age: 11
Origin: Million Sins Temple
Young Hero Ranking: #27
Following Kishirani’s arrival at the treasure house, the next young hero ranker who entered the treasure house was dressed in a thick blue robe with a large hood that could cover half the face. The robe was even thicker than any blanket. On their back, the ranker carried a huge brown sisal sack the size of an adult man which greatly contrasted to the fellow’s small size. It was clear that they were extremely young, even younger than Mwana.
Name: “Puppet Master” Babu Yuvirani
Age: 8
Origin: Great River Puppet School
Young Heroine Ranking: #57
The ranker in question was Babu Yuvirani, a little girl who specialized in puppet magic. At her young age, her skill in puppeteering was already recognized at a national level. As for her overall talent in the mystical arts, she was definitely a prodigy. It would not be long until she entered the top 50 of the Young Hero/ine Rankings.
After the little girl ascended the stairs, another young hero entered Mwana’s sights. In fact, seeing this boy, Mwana instantly recognized him as he was a legend in Toro. Of all the rankers today, he also had the highest rank. Even the Young Lord of Deity Mountain was ranked lower than this boy. Although they had never fought, experts who had witnessed both boys’ martial arts believed that this boy was simply better.
