“Tailang!”
The various family clans took the martial arts tournament very seriously this time. The heads of many families attended the event in person.
The Xu family head did the same.
With great passion in his eyes, he said to Xu Tailang, “I heard that the first-ranked person in the martial arts tournament will receive a special mission this time. Their status will be different from that of the other participants. No matter what, you have to get the first spot!”
Xu Tailang’s face turned sullen. He nodded and said, “Understood, Father.”
From the side, Elder Xu smiled. “Master, you’re being too careful! Tailang has such a high cultivation now. Who in the entire Tian Zhao Empire could compare to him?”
Coincidentally, Xu Tailang turned toward the direction of the Lou Family. A trace of ridicule appeared in his eyes.
Whenever I appear, that woman disappears…
It seems like once again, she does not have the courage to show up today!
After a while, Zhen Guogong appeared at the venue and announced the beginning of the martial arts tournament.
“In this martial arts tournament, all the qualified participants will head toward the borders with me and fight against the Nandu Nation! Therefore, the first test will assess your ability to kill your enemies!”
“Huh?” Everyone turned to Zhen Guogong in confusion. “Kill enemies? Does Zhen Guogong want us to kill one another?”
“Killing one another before facing the great enemy… T-This doesn’t really make sense…”
The crowd was discussing it when Zhen Guogong continued.
“Everyone knows that many magical beasts lay in the deep parts of the Fengshan Forest. So in the first test, you will be hunting beasts. Whoever defeats five beasts that have higher cultivation than them will be considered to have passed the test!”
Whoosh!
Everyone, including those who were not participating in the tournament, was shocked.
“Kill five beasts that have higher cultivation than them?”
“Gosh! Beasts are more powerful than humans of the same cultivation level. And, he wants us to kill beasts with cultivation levels higher than ours… Isn’t he after our lives?”
“What a harsh and strict assessment!”
“However, the battlefield is always brutal. Having a strict assessment means being responsible for our safety. We have to give our all! If we are unable to defeat five beasts with higher cultivation levels than ourselves, then we have no right to step on the battlefield!”
A small number of the participants became uncertain about their faith. However, the majority, from the looks in their eyes, seemed more determined than before!
Zhen Guogong scanned them. He couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction. “Alright, I now announce the start of the martial arts tournament. All participants can head to the deeper parts of the Fengshan Forest to hunt for beasts. Everyone is to gather here in an hour. When the time is up, those who aren’t here will be deemed to have given up!”
Boom!
As soon as they received the order, everyone scattered around and jumped into the deeper parts of the woods.
“Sigh! Indeed, Miss Qianxue isn’t here…”
The juniors of the Lou Family lethargically followed Lou Xiaoxiao into the woods…
“Tsk! Aren’t you guys from the Lou family? Why didn’t I see Lou Qianxue, who passed the trial tower? Did Senior Xu frighten her so much that she doesn’t dare to leave the house anymore?”
They had just stepped into the woods when they heard a loud series of sneers.
The expressions of the Lou family juniors changed, and they looked over. The one sneering at them was Mu Xueying, the tenth-ranked student on the Hall of Fame of the Imperial Academy.
“Mu Xueying!” Lou Xiaoxiao frowned and coldly said, “Who are you to talk about Qianxue in this way when she beat up your sister into paralysis. Also, you didn’t even have the courage to accept Qianxue’s challenge.”
“Exactly!” The Lou family juniors glared at him. “Save your speech for when you have the guts to challenge Miss Qianxue on the life-or-death battle stage!”
“Y-You!” Mu Xueying’s face darkened, and a tinge of murderous intent appeared in his eyes. “I may not have the courage to challenge Lou Qianxue, but that doesn’t mean that I lack the guts to fight all of you!”
“Ha!” Lou Xiaoxiao sneered. “The masters in Zhen Guogong’s mansion are discreetly watching the participants. If you have the guts to take action against us, then do it!”
“…” Mu Xueying’s expression turned awkward, and his face became distorted. He said in a vicious and intimidating manner, “Stop gloating! Watch me kill all of you when this martial arts tournament is over!”
