Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.157 - Tournament

Information about the tournament that Hwang Jeong said had actually been spread for quite a while. Fu Chen was lucky that he could still register.

Many underestimated Fu Chen because of his young age. The warriors who enrolled there considered Fu Chen an easy target.

In addition, all of Hwang Jeong had continued to observe Fu Chen ever since he met him. He was quite amazed to see the calm Fu Chen responding to the scorn on him. Either because of his high self-confidence or his fairly mature attitude.

Hwang Jeong also judged that Fu Chen was not a child who wasted his time with useless things. Most of the time it is used for meditation and sword practice.

Hwang Jeong himself was envious, because his attitude when young was very different from Fu Chen.

Hwang Jeong thought Fu Chen's attitude was because of him. Hwang Jeong began to regret having told Fu Chen to enter the tournament.

Fia was so, she realized Hwang Jeong's attitude was starting to change. Lately Hwang Jeong's attitude has become more serious in some ways.

"How are you preparing now?" Hwang Jeong asked Fu Chen when he saw him forging iron.

"Everything is ready, just need to wait for the opening of the tournament." Fu Chen replied, his overheated body made his clothes wet with sweat.

"Aren't you supposed to take a break instead of spending time here?" Hwang Jeong just didn't want Fu Chen to be exhausted even before the tournament started.

"It's so much better than doing nothing." Fu Chen noticed the dagger he forged.

It was an ordinary dagger of normal quality, Fu Chen was quite satisfied considering it was the first dagger he forged after getting a hint from Fia.

Fu Chen intended to make a few more dagger blades, he planned to use the dagger in certain situations.

Seeing Fu Chen busy with his affairs Hwang Jeong was intending to leave. She also did not see Fia there so there was nothing she could do.

The night before the tournament opened, Fu Chen had time to train with his dagger. The dagger was indeed quite good, but he was not sure if it could survive if it collided with another weapon.

The Muyong family opened the tournament in an abandoned land not far from the forest. Many residents of Lianing City watched because the location was not so far from the city.

The tournament's participants were at least 200 people, Fu Chen had thought the Muyong family would open its tournament in a colosseum as usual.

"Welcome and thank you for participating in this tournament…"

The host opened a speech for the warriors, he also gave a speech about the purpose of this tournament, of course with the compensation they get later.

Most of the warriors there had learned the information from the sheet that Muyong's family shared. So many of them protested to speed up that useless speech.

The host immediately finished his sentence and gave the next speech to the Muyong family representative.

He was the head of the branch in Lianing City, he was quite satisfied with this tournament as many world-famous names were present.

Mu Guanjiang smiled faintly before saying his welcome word. "It looks like you guys can't wait to destroy your opponents. But this tournament will be different than usual…"

Mu Guanjiang said that if the participants who register too much, so he will change the rules of the tournament.

These warriors would hunt each other, each swordsman would be given a pin according to their sequence number.

The purpose of this hunt was quite simple, they only needed to gather as many other participants as possible.

Mu Guanjiang said the participants were free to do anything to snatch the pins from others. It made everyone surprised, they did not expect the tournament would be different than usual.

Fu Chen could only sigh at the new rules. In addition to not knowing the condition of the forest, he also guessed that he would be an easy target for other warriors.

Mu Guanjiang invited the participants to immediately enter the forest. He would tell his subordinates to signal if the hunt would start.

Not many warriors dared to enter the forest first because they were afraid of being followed. But some pretty famous names seem not to care about it, they will be happy if many warriors follow it.

Fu Chen just walked leisurely while observing the situation, he would not rush to hunt because the time Mu Guanjiang gave him was three days.

This forest was quite vast and dangerous, ferocious beasts and demons that sensed the existence of the warriors would definitely be disturbed and make their attitude more aggressive.

After quite a bit of jungle trekking, Fu Chen finally found a not-so-extensive field of grass. Fu Chen sat on a rock in the middle of the grass field.

Fu Chen had intended to wait for the participants who followed him, that amount was quite a lot that might even be able to make Fu Chen a fuss.

Not long after, an eagle appeared to be flying in a circle above the sky. The participants guessed it as the start of the hunt.

As Fu Chen had expected, one by one the participants started to appear from behind the tree.they started to pull their respective weapons while grinning widely.

But the smile did not last long because of the large number of participants gathered in one place.

Fu Chen then chuckled softly, it made one of the participants frown.

"Looks like you're out of your mind, kid! Your life is at stake right now. So you better hand me that pin while I'm talking good."

"Hahaha.." Fu Chen's laughter grew wider. "Don't you feel stupid? Are you sure they'll hand you this pin?" Fu Chen pointed at the pin on his chest.

The participants there had put up a standby attitude since earlier, they also did not expect that many people would follow Fu Chen.

The smile on Fu Chen's face disappeared, his gaze turning sharp. He did not want to spend time with the debate of these participants.

Fu Chen drew his sword and darted to one of the participants. The participant fell down with a single slash that knocked him unconscious.

The other participant froze for a moment as Fu Chen took the participant's pin. They were too focused on the other participants so ignored Fu Chen's existence.

They only regained consciousness after Fu Chen suddenly disappeared from sight and then subverted the other participants.

it made them wary.as if given direction, they compact to target Fu Chen first. Making Fu Chen unable to target one by one of them.
