"Ghost Exorcist Ranking?"
Zhang Wei was surprised, instantly piqued by the title of the post.
As he delved deeper into the ghost exorcism circle, he became increasingly aware that ghost exorcists were divided into strong and weak. The difference between a weak exorcist and a powerful one was like the difference between a level 1 newbie player in an online game and a max-level whale player.
And although becoming a ghost exorcist was difficult, given the vast population of Da Xia, even with the difficulty, the number of ghost exorcists was not small.
This post was very popular.
Judging by the posting time, it was only published last night at 10 PM.
But now, the click-through rate and the number of replies were astonishingly high, with a heat comparable to posts discussing recent events in the Northeast.

Hello everyone, I am your universally loved, flower-blooming, even Yui Aragaki would love, Xiao Xuan. Today is the monthly update for the rankings. Today, we are updating the Potential Rising Stars list.
As usual, let me first introduce this list.
This list ranks the younger generation of ghost exorcists in Da Xia. I have compiled a ranking based on the deeds, information, and strength of these young exorcists.
Additionally.
After updating the list, I will introduce the newly added members to the list so that everyone can get to know these newcomers, making it easier to pay homage. It also allows powerful individuals to see if they have made it onto the list and become a ranked member, haha.
Furthermore.
Since this is the Potential Rising Stars list, the age range for those on the list is 0-30 years old.
So, if you want to see the rankings of the older generation of big shots, please turn to the post [National Ghost Exorcist Ranking]. However, the latest update for that list was last month. Since that list is for all ages and includes ghost exorcists from all over the country, data collection is troublesome. I will update it again after some time, muah~
Now, back to the main topic.
Let's start introducing the Potential Rising Stars list.
[First Place: Lin Jiujiu, Age: 29, Ghost Exorcist Profession:赊刀人 (She Dao Ren - Knife Seller)]
[Second Place: Tang Ziping, Age: 26, Ghost Exorcist Profession: Tomb Keeper]
...
[Sixth Place: Huang Qing, Age: 28, Ghost Exorcist Profession: 出马仙 (Chu Ma Xian - Spirit Medium)]
...
Upon reaching the tenth place.
Zhang Wei let out a soft "Oh."
He recognized the tenth place: Wu Nian!
[Tenth Place: Wu Nian, Age: 22, Ghost Exorcist Profession: Buddhist Monk]
Looking at the information for tenth place, Zhang Wei was a little surprised but quickly understood. He had heard from Lu Lianxue earlier that Wu Nian was very powerful and famous in the ghost exorcism circle. After all, Wu Nian's life from birth had been filled with legends, almost like a protagonist's halo.
The facts bore this out. Wu Nian, with his Eagle Guard level strength, could deal with Crimson-Robed Fierce Ghosts that only Tiger Guard level exorcists could handle. He could even activate three magical artifacts of eminent monks. If it weren't for the Nine Evils Yin Gathering Ghost that countered him, he would have had a chance to injure it.
Zhang Wei became curious:
"I wonder if the class monitor is on this list."
He thought that Wu Nian, as the future abbot of Mount Wutai, was not only on the list but ranked tenth.
What about Lu Lianxue?
She was the next successor to the position of sect leader of Mount Longhu.
Thinking this.
Zhang Wei moved his mouse and clicked on the search bar within the list.
The poster had thoughtfully created a list with a search function for forum users to easily check the rankings. You could directly enter a name to see if it was on the list.
Soon.
The search results came out.
As expected, Lu Lianxue was on the list.
[Seventy-eighth Place: Lu Lianxue, Age: 19, Ghost Exorcist Profession: Taoist Priest]
"Class monitor's ranking isn't low."
Zhang Wei said with a smile, his gaze falling on Lu Lianxue's age information.
After all, both Wu Nian and the other top ten members were much older than Lu Lianxue. The first place was a full 10 years older than Lu Lianxue, and even Wu Nian was 3 years older than her.
Looking at the members ranked below Lu Lianxue.
Their ages were undoubtedly over 20.
Even if Zhang Wei were foolish, he could tell that at just 19 years old, she had made it onto the list, and not at the very end, but at seventy-eighth place. Lu Lianxue's talent was immense. Perhaps in another six months to a year, she might even break into the top ranks of the list.
Subsequently.
With renewed interest, Zhang Wei searched for other ghost exorcists he knew, such as Zhang Chao and Lu Lianfeng.
He discovered that Lu Lianfeng was also on the list.
[One Hundredth Place: Lu Lianfeng, Age: 19, Ghost Exorcist Profession: Xiangxi Corpse Herder]
"It seems this silly boy Lianfeng isn't just silly and rich."
Immediately after.
Zhang Wei typed "Zhang Chao" with both hands on the keyboard:
"I wonder if Zhang Chao made it onto the list. If he didn't, I'll have to mock him properly. All the ghost exorcists I know are on the list, only he isn't... Huh?!"
Zhang Wei froze.
He looked at the search results in disbelief.
His guess was right, Zhang Chao wasn't on the list, but what stunned him wasn't Zhang Chao's absence.
It was the related searches that popped up...
Since there was no exact match for Zhang Chao, the search results provided ranked members containing the characters 'Zhang' and 'Chao'.
A total of three members with the surname Zhang appeared.
Among them, the ranked member appearing at the very top of the search results:
[Twenty-sixth Place: Zhang Wei, Age: 19, Ghost Exorcist Profession: Suspected Taoist Priest, Special Note: This Zhang Wei is a newly added member to this list update. His information will be placed in the section for new members below the list.]
"Zhang Wei???"
Zhang Wei, regaining his senses, his expression changed, and he looked strangely at the screen.
Could this be me...
The same name, the same age, could it be such a coincidence?
Quickly.
Zhang Wei scrolled down with his mouse wheel to look at the information for the new members at the bottom of the list.
The first thing he saw was the information about the new member, 'Zhang Wei.'
There was no one else.
Clearly, in this update of the Potential Rising Stars list, Zhang Wei was the only new addition, while others were returning members from the previous list.
Zhang Wei focused his gaze.
[New Member]: Zhang Wei
First, congratulations to this Zhang Wei for becoming a new member.
This Zhang Wei is powerful. Although only 19 years old, according to the information collected by Xiao Xuan, Zhang Wei recently fought against an Iron Coffin Zombie with his bare body and eventually beat the zombie to death with his fists. His physical strength is astonishing.
In addition.
Before I wrote this list tonight, I also received news that two days ago, Zhang Wei wrestled with a Copper Armor Zombie from Xishuangbanna using his physical strength, breaking the zombie's arm.
That Xishuangbanna Copper Armor Zombie, as far as I know, was a special Xishuangbanna Copper Armor Zombie refined by Granny Wang, one of the two elders from the Xiangxi Corpse Herding sect, for her grandson Lu Lianfeng, who is ranked hundredth on the list.
And!
On the very day I was writing this list, Zhang Wei indirectly saved the young monk Wu Nian, who is ranked tenth on the list!
It is said that Zhang Wei gave Wu Nian a magical artifact, helping Wu Nian's team successfully overcome danger and also helping Wu Nian through his life-and-death tribulation.
It was precisely Zhang Wei's assistance.
Wu Nian and his group survived, allowing the Guarding Department to follow the information provided by Wu Nian and his team to gradually identify the hundreds of ghost exorcists involved in the recent incidents in the Northeast!
...
When Zhang Wei reached this point.
He was already certain.
The new member Zhang Wei was himself!
"I actually made it onto the list..."
Zhang Wei's expression was peculiar. "I was just minding my own business, and it turned out to be about me?"
As he spoke.
His peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the comments below the post.
