Chapter 859: The Right Arm Lives, the Left Arm Dies

The Ten Great Eccentrics?
The Jade-Faced Eagle King glanced sideways, clearly hearing such a term for the first time.
Yet he trusted Hare Eagle’s intelligence—although he ranked lowest among the Thirteen Eagles, as a disciple of the Beggars’ Sect, he was well-informed and possessed an innate keen sense for everything in the martial world. Many rumors from the streets and alleys never leaked, including some online discussions and information.
Information from abroad…
The martial masters of the Central Plains paid little attention to it.
Bald Eagle was the strategist of the Thirteen Eagles; all his schemes and intrigues came from him.
With Bald Eagle’s words, the Jade-Faced Eagle King gradually calmed down. Recalling their brief clash earlier, Rong Sen’s strength indeed left him feeling at a loss and helpless against him.
“Everyone, come back!”
The Jade-Faced Eagle King called the others back and ordered decisively, “Retreat!”
The group quickly pulled apart, mounted their horses, and cast one last look at “Rong Sen” and “Wanwan” before leaving reluctantly.
“Bald Eagle, tell me about the ‘Ten Great Eccentrics’.”
A question lingered in the Jade-Faced Eagle King’s mind, and soon he couldn’t help but ask.
Bald Eagle sighed calmly, already prepared: “By ‘eccentrics,’ I mean unique individuals whose strength surpasses everyone else in the world—peerless warriors…”
“Who selects these peerless warriors?” the Jade-Faced Eagle King asked, frowning.
Shaking his head, Bald Eagle said, “Eccentrics aren’t chosen by anyone; they’re recognized as martial masters whose strength is extraordinary and almost invincible…”
“Oh? What’s the basis?”
The Jade-Faced Eagle King was skeptical.
“REP!”
“Based on their REP after they become famous, one can roughly assess their strength. After all, the strength shown in REP is well-known to everyone. No one can fake it—unless they possess strength that impresses everyone, otherwise, they won’t be recognized…”
“…”
The Jade-Faced Eagle King began to believe it and couldn’t help but gasp before asking, “You said there are only ten people globally? Mongolia has one of them?”
“It’s not that there are only ten strong people globally…” Bald Eagle pondered for a while before answering, “It’s that so far, only ten have been recognized by everyone!”
“It’s said that a few days ago, someone tried to have Ren Jie, a disciple of Ximen Chuixue,’s REP certified, hoping to secure another spot for our Central Plains… but it didn’t work out.”
The Jade-Faced Eagle King held his breath again.

He had also seen Ren Jie’s strength. Even Lian Huangsha and Jian Piao were no match for him in a single move; his swordsmanship was truly extraordinary, without a doubt… But in the end, Ren Jie’s flaws were seen through by Kai Xin. His failure to qualify as a “Strange Hero” was likely due to that battle with Kai Xin. If even a strong warrior like Ren Jie couldn’t make it into the ranks of Strange Heroes and convince the public, one can imagine just how powerful Rong Sen must be!
“So, how many spots do we in the Central Plains have?”
“Two,” replied the Bald Eagle.
The twelve Eagles at the back of the group fell silent immediately… Without needing to ask, they all knew those two Strange Heroes referred to Kai Xin, the greatest master in the Central Plains, and “One Emperor,” the greatest swordsman there. Only they truly deserved a place in the ranks of Strange Heroes.
After that brief exchange, the people at the back grew even more curious…
“Lao Wu! You say that out of the world’s top ten Strange Heroes, our Central Plains only has two spots. Does that mean, besides Rong Sen, there are seven others with strength on par with Kai Xin and One Emperor?” To be honest, the Jade-Faced Eagle King really didn’t believe there were masters abroad who could compare to Kai Xin and One Emperor.
“I’m not sure if their strength is equal, but each of them is truly invincible in their own field—no one can surpass them—and… their strength is definitely above ours.” The Bald Eagle spoke gravely. “It is said that the Indian Snake King, ‘Gujitai,’ has a very rare king cobra. When it attacks, it locks its eyes on its target, confusing their nerves. Anyone touched by even a little of its venom dies on the spot. Also, the Snake King has a golden python… said to be a hybrid of a lizard and a python king. It not only swims at an astonishing speed, faster than ordinary martial artists, but its scales are also incredibly tough, able to withstand swords and spears. Moreover… the golden python has immense crushing power; once it wraps around its target, it can strangle it into meat paste in a short time!”
“…Just a snake? That powerful?”
The group all took a breath, skeptical.
“It was shown on REP, but those who tried to verify it personally died,” the Bald Eagle replied calmly. “Many Indian masters and some foreign masters challenged him out of admiration, only to die at the hands of his two pet snakes… And some say Gujitai has more than just these two pet snakes…”
“…”
“And the other six?”
“Speaking of Gujitai from India and Rong Sen from Mongolia, we can’t ignore the boxers from Vietnam…”
“Vietnamese boxers? No way—someone from Vietnam made it onto the list of Strange Heroes?”
“Listen to me.”
The Bald Eagle rolled his eyes impatiently:

“The Vietnamese fighter, A Xiu Luo, known as ‘Life and Death Fist’. It’s said he’s also extremely talented, but his situation is the exact opposite of Rong Sen’s!”
“Hm?”
The group quickly became highly curious after hearing from Bald Eagle: “In the real world, A Xiu Luo is said to be disabled, with only one arm…”
“What would happen to someone with one arm in the game?”
“The game gives him two arms!” Bald Eagle gave a faint smile.
The others were stunned:
“Isn’t that great?”
“Of course it is.”
Bald Eagle replied, “But in reality, A Xiu Luo used his left arm for all his work and practiced boxing with one hand. Through years of training, he could easily lift objects weighing up to 200 kilograms… In the game, the system assigns strange stats—his strength seems to fluctuate. When he uses his right hand, his strength is normal; but once he uses his left hand, it becomes astonishingly strong…”
“…”
“At first, this wasn’t so obvious, but as his level improved, the strength of his left arm grew incredibly fast. By the time his right arm reached 200 points, his left arm had already surpassed 350 points… With a single punch, he could shatter ordinary weapons, and his destructive power was equivalent to that of a master at the Mythical Realm. That’s how the nickname ‘Right Arm Lives, Left Arm Dies’ and ‘Life and Death Fist’ came about…”
The group was terrified.
A master at the Life and Death Realm delivering attacks as powerful as those of a Mythical Realm warrior… It was truly unbelievable…
Yet, this guy’s strength and circumstances certainly made him one of the extraordinary individuals.
“Lao Wu! Where are the other five guys…”
“Yeah, Fifth Brother, just tell us everything!”
The group seemed to have forgotten their earlier failure and eagerly asked Bald Eagle about the other extraordinary individuals.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, both Bald Eagle and the Jade-Faced Eagle King turned their heads, ears twitching, toward where Wanwan and the others were staying…
