The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 106 - Youth Swordsman Tournament
In running the tournament in order to proceed in an orderly manner as expected the White Fog Valley sect assigned their disciples to supervise the course of the tournament. Hundreds of disciples from these sects moved according to their respective duties, they were directed well enough that the tournament went on safely without any constraints.
The disciples from the East Wind Mountain sect walked over to Li Yong's entourage who had just walked out of the residence after getting ready beforehand, they chatted for a while then drove the entourage to the location of the tournament.
Upon arrival at the location of the tournament, in fact, the place was already crowded by participants as well as spectators, Li Yong accompanied three representatives of his sect to register.
After finishing recording the data of Shen Xuemei and Huang Kun the disciple in charge of filling out the data of the participants was made to frown while addressing Xin Fai.
Especially when it is said that the age of Xin Fai has only one month entered the age of 10 years, there are indeed some students who are still young but on average around 12 years and above. Indeed, there was no regulation that prohibited Xin Fai from participating, anyone under the age of 17 and having the ability could enter this tournament.
The disciple no longer thought about it, he felt that Xin Fai was only trying his luck and would only end up in the preliminary round. On the other hand, Ho Shing's entourage came together and met Xin Fai with an awkward look.
Zhuan Ang swallowed his saliva right then and there, I don't know what was on his mind that he obviously didn't want when fighting later should be faced with Xin Fai at least until he entered the main round. He did not want to be defeated like yesterday by that little boy.
The same thing Gong Li felt, he continued to address Xin Fai who was still busy completing the registration process. After finishing Xin Fai faced back and just turned her gaze to meet them.
Surprised, they looked away at the crowd. Li Yong watched with a suspicious face and it immediately made Xin Fai grin awkwardly.
Xin Fai, Shen Xuemei and Huang Kun headed to the waiting room that had been prepared while Li Yong was welcome to sit in the audience seats. While waiting for the tournament to start, the three tell each other and share knowledge that may be useful when in the game.
Huang Kun's eyeballs shone brightly, he was like burning his own spirit while Shen Xuemei as usual put on a flat face. He even just looked at the busy lizard fighting on the wall of the room.
Xin Fai took out her Blue Light Gem while smiling faintly. "Mother, today I'm going to go to the tournament like you want."
Given this was the first step to achieving his life goal Xin Fai became extremely excited. He and Huang Kun cheered making the other participants frown in confusion, they looked at each other and cheered.
"Currently... The tacky guys." One of them looked at them with a look of disdain, the 17-year-old boy looked at Xin Fai very despicable.
Feeling a piercing look on her, Xin Fai returned with the same gaze.
The young man standing there possessed immense strength as well as a murderous aura that was so powerful, Xin Fai had no idea what the young man had passed through until he had an extremely powerful murderous aura. At the same time, he felt that this person was very dangerous.
On the other hand Li Yong had just sat on the bleachers after following the directions of the event organizers who were disciples of the White Fog Valley, he watched the surrounding noise closely.
Many were twitching to mention their own sect representative as a potential champion, Li Yong just closed his eyes no matter what, he focused on thinking about something else.
Li Yong remembered the Taoist priest Wei, his teacher was very hopeful that one of his three representatives could occupy the seat of the next Imperial Pillar. Given the age of the Taoist Priest Wei was very old and also often sickly Li Yong was unable to say anything else but hope that his students win and make the priest happy before he died.
At first Li Yong was hopeful for Shen Xuemei but when Xin Fai said he would come too, Li Yong also wished for him, at least he wanted one of them to enter the final.
Li Yong himself did not expect much from Huang Kun, considering that his strength and experience of fighting were still very little, Huang Kun was included to make this tournament his experience.
"Have you heard the news of the appearance of the Water Ruler Demon in the ocean there?"
"Ah, I heard it. No one has not heard the news... The next night when the news happened I heard the sound of monsters echoing to my house. I think the news really exists..."
"really? Actually I can't believe it, but when you said you heard that voice, too, I don't think it's a hoax."
They continued to talk about how the shape of the Water Ruler Demon from the news was heard, some adding even exaggerating. Li Yong who had seen it with his own eyes knew the news was not like reality and much changed.
As he was about to hear further, the two men were shocked because someone was covering the news.
"Did you hear about a little boy who fought the Demon Ruler of Water alone?"
"Ah, if that one must be a lie. Where is there a boy who can fight a god-level demon alone? The Ten Pillars of the Empire alone were not necessarily capable of resisting it."
"I think so too. Which person makes such an absurd story?"
Li Yong coughed softly making the three people behind him stop talking.
"Hey? You okay?" One of them asked.
"Ahaha, I'm sorry. I'm just choking on the wind hahaha..."
The bouncing answer made their eyebrows docked at the same time raise one eyebrow. Li Yong spoke slowly. "Ah, you can continue the conversation. Let's just say I don't exist."
After saying that the three people returned to telling stories and the longer the topic changed. Li Yong decided not to follow the flow of their conversation anymore.
'I who see it with my eyes still cannot believe, let alone those who hear it from mouth to mouth. Xin Fai, you are indeed full of surprises.' Li Yong's inner self.
After that many important people entered the front row of the audience, the ten people were deliberately placed in a special position because of their high position.
One of the people sitting on the leading ten benches was a manly man whom everyone respected very much. He was the number one strongest person in the Shang Empire, that man was named Yong Tao.
The presence of the man just made the audience cheer excitedly, Yong Tao waved his hands very kindly in response to the enthusiastic audience. While Li Yong himself could not believe that today he could see directly this number one person.
Enthusiastic spectators who boasted trying to be disciplined by the tournament committee, they emphasized the audience to stay calm. Next enter other important people who are welcomed also by the audience.
This lasted a long time until the tournament officially began.
