Chapter 56: Yan Xiaotian and the Three Representatives
The challenge between Shen Rui and Yan Xiaotian will be held on September 11th, with only two days left.
"Old Soul, if you don't teach me Xuan-level advanced sword skills, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this level." Shen Rui begged.
Although the first step of the bronze-headed and iron-armed exercise had been completed, he still had no confidence when he thought that his opponent was a high-level martial artist with a high level of swordsmanship.
"There's only one day left, I'm afraid it's too late." Old Hun said.
"Oh, it's all my fault, I didn't calculate the time well." Shen Rui couldn't help but blame himself.
Yan Xiaotian was famous for his swordsmanship, but he had not mastered advanced Xuan-level swordsmanship, so it would be difficult to get first place. Shen Rui had no choice but to practice his homemade pliers knife repeatedly.
"Brother Shen." A sweet voice called.
Shen Rui put away the knife and looked at the entrance of the yard. It turned out to be Huo Jing.
"Is the time up? Just wait a moment, I'll change my clothes." Shen Rui said hurriedly.
Huo Jing burst out laughing: "The competition won't start until tomorrow. You, you are too obsessed with practicing."
"Oh." Shen Rui scratched his head in embarrassment.
The two sat down at a table nearby.
"Brother Shen, what sword technique did you practice just now? It was so fast." Huo Jing asked curiously.
"Oh, this is called the Dou Xiang Dao. It's my own knife technique that will make you laugh." Shen Rui said.
"I haven't seen you for so many days, you must be angry." Huo Jing's face was as bright as a peach or plum.
"No, I'm busy practicing during this period. Even if you come here, I don't have time to pay attention to you." Shen Rui didn't realize the meaning of the other party's words.
Huo Jing was very grateful and said, "Actually, you don't need to work so hard. My father is actually not short of that kind of spiritual stone mine. Don't be exhausted."
Shen Rui said: "I am entrusted by others and it is a matter of fate. Since I agreed to your father to participate in the competition, I must try my best."
Huo Jing lowered her head, her face flushed: "Brother Shen, I know you are doing it all for me, thank you."
Shen Rui didn't understand for a moment. Just as he was about to explain, Huo Jing had already walked out.
"I won't disturb your practice anymore. You must win." Huo Jing's voice came from the distance.
Shen Rui sighed. Although he was already in love, what he was thinking about was not the girl in front of him. An innocent and pretty face and a cute and naughty face came to his mind alternately.
"Nevermind." Shen Rui waved his broken saber, and a shadow of the knife appeared in front of his eyes. Bang...a leaf that fell from the tree was twisted into pieces.
On September 11th, the square in front of the city lord's palace was very busy early in the morning. Almost all the warriors and people in the city gathered here to pay attention to this rare event in Qinghuan City.
Except for the forces in Qinghuan City, the ordinary people did not know that this challenge was also related to the ownership of the Lin family's property. They only knew that there was a lot of excitement in the City Lord's Mansion today, and that was enough.
A simple arena was set up in the middle of the square. In front of the arena was a row of rostrums. In the middle sat a majestic warrior in his forties, who was the Lord of Qinghuan City, Yan Yunan. Standing upright behind Yan Yunan was The young man has a handsome appearance, like a sword stuck there, exuding a sharp and intimidating aura. This young man is the protagonist of this challenge, Yan Yunan's adopted son Yan Xiaotian.
On both sides of Yan Yunan sat the famous leaders of various forces in Qinghuan City, of course, including Zhu Hui, Huo Tian and Zhao Yang. All the forces knew that this competition was actually a competition between the three major forces for the Lin family's property. , thinking that the Lin family had a valuable spiritual stone mine, he could only stare. All of them wished that the three of them would strangle each other to death.
"Representatives from the Bluestone Chamber of Commerce are here."
I saw a slender boy of seventeen or eighteen years old who nodded to everyone and walked behind Zhao Yang, the president of the Qingshi Chamber of Commerce, with a smile.
"I heard that this young man is Nie Yundong, a famous rising star in Chaoyuan City. He is a master of the Chaoyuan branch of the Qingshi Chamber of Commerce."
"I heard he is a junior martial spirit."
"Wow, reaching the early stage of martial arts at the age of seventeen or eighteen is really abnormal. You can't find many in Qinghuan City."
While everyone was discussing.
"Representatives of the Zhu family are here." Someone shouted again.
When everyone looked at him, they saw a handsome young man of sixteen or seventeen years old walking up with a proud look on his face. He did not say hello to anyone but walked straight behind Zhu Hui.
"I heard that this young man is Hao Huiyou, the core disciple of Feihumen, and is already an intermediate martial spirit." Someone said.
"As expected, he is from a famous family. He is an intermediate martial artist at the age of sixteen or seventeen." One person said.
"The Zhu family is determined to gain possession of the Lin family's property, and even the youngest core disciple of Feihumen is here. I see that Lin Guang's son, Lin Zhan, the eldest disciple of Feihumen, is determined to give the Lingshi mine to the Zhu family.
" Another person said.
Everyone nodded, thinking that this person was right.
"I heard that the Huo family invited a boy who is only fourteen or fifteen years old from Mingyang Town. Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
"Do you know the strength of this young man?"
"I don't know. I'm fourteen or fifteen years old. I guess I will always be an intermediate martial artist. At most, I will be a high-level martial artist, which is already great."
"Don't underestimate this young man. I heard that the Xiao family's son brought a dozen masters to assassinate him, but in the end not a single one came back alive."
"..."
"Representatives of the Huo family have arrived."
A handsome young man appeared in the square, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and very ordinary clothes. The most eye-catching thing was the long knife on his back, which seemed a bit out of place with his slightly thin figure.
An official from the city lord's palace came to the stage and said loudly: "Dear fellow citizens, this is the Qinghuan City Youth Disciple Challenge. Representatives of the two major families, the Zhu family and the Huo family, as well as the Qingshi Chamber of Commerce, will compete with the young city lord in this arena.
Martial arts.”
There are not many games like this in Qinghuan City on weekdays. The audience immediately burst into warm applause, and everyone was looking forward to this wonderful challenge.
The official continued: "We will draw lots later. The person with number 1 will go up first to challenge the young city lord, the person with number 2 will go up second, and the person with number 3 will go up last. Whoever lasts the longest among the three will win.
The winner. The city lord will personally award the prize to him."
"Okay." Thunderous applause erupted from the audience again.
"Let's draw lots and invite three representatives to come here." The official said.
When everyone went to the officials to draw lots, the city lord Yan Yunan and Yan Xiaotian behind him were talking about who had a better chance of winning this time.
Yan Yunan: "Tian'er, who do you think has a higher chance of winning?"
Yan Xiaotian: "Hao Huiyou, the representative of the Zhu family, is already an intermediate martial arts spirit. He will one day reach the level of Tian'er. He is a core disciple of a famous family. He is indeed extraordinary."
Yan Yunan didn't speak anymore. Somehow, he always had a hunch that the smallest and youngest Shen Rui would win. Because with his junior martial king's strength, he couldn't even tell Shen Rui's warrior level. Of course.
He didn't expect that Shen Rui used hidden veins to practice.
When most people look at other people's warrior levels, they mostly look at the flow of martial energy between the opponent's main veins. Who would have thought that the key lies in the hidden veins? Of course, people with particularly high strength can also see this.
