The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 24 — Daffodil Conference (3)
They soon arrived at the place for the Blue Sky Sect, there was Tang Yelu waving towards Lian Huanran and Lian Haocun along with the other two participants, who were waving towards Lian Huanran, Luo Bowen and Chun Ming were glancing at Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran.
Tang Yelu had long red hair that was left untied so she looked a bit wild and mischievous which suited her personality whereas her deep red eyes had a twinkle of spirit and mischief.
He was wearing the robes and clothes of the Blue Sky Sect. Tang Yelu had an attractive and handsome appearance with a teenage spirit so she became the most conspicuous among both Luo Bowen and Chun Ming who looked very ordinary.
Luo Bowen and Chun Ming greeted Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran politely, but not excessively. Lian Huanran replied to her as well politely and kindly, while Lian Haocun simply nodded and said ‘Hm’ is short.
Accustomed to Lian Haocun's personality, Lian Huanran explains not to be considered offensive, though,
“Sister is always like this. Don't think too much.”
Luo Bowen and Chun Ming nodded, after all they often heard rumors regarding Lian Haocun's cold personality so they weren't surprised. Tang Yelu who felt ignored, strengthened her sense of presence by saying with a larger volume,
“Hei-hey. Don't ignore me!”
Lian Huanran pretended not to be aware of Tang Yelu's previous existence as revenge for being teased earlier this morning,
“Oh, senior martial brother Tang turns out to be here. I'm sorry I didn't realize you. You really have too much sense of presence. Maybe it was too much that I couldn't notice your presence before speaking.”
Tang Yelu pretended to be annoyed by grunting angrily then chuckled with Lian Huanran who also let out a small laugh. Then the two of them made a harmonious atmosphere between the sect members.
“Truly a harmonious sight isn't it? Elder Hong, Elder Rong.” Shen Wenhuan's comments saw five different-age people joking and laughing together, of course except Lian Haocun.
Elder Hong and Elder Rong took a step back while watching them for a moment. Then Elder Hong made a new topic of conversation.
“Older Shen, who do you think will be the winner of this Conference?” Elder Hong asked with a smile.
Shen Wenhuan replied lightly but created an elegant impression, “This is still uncertain.”
There was a short pause before Shen Wenhuan continued, “There was Guan Hong, a disciple of the upper-level Sect, The Jade Wolf Sect who had a Foundation Building stage 7 cultivation level even though he was only 30 years old and had the water element. There was also Kong Jun, a disciple of the Upper Level Sect, the Heavenly Sect who had already reached the cultivation level of Foundation Building stage 6 despite being young, 24 Years old. There are still many more, Wu Shilin, disciple..”.
Elder Hong stopped Shen Wenhuan from speaking further, “Yes, yes, but they still cannot be compared to your disciple, Lian Haocun. His speed was more terrifying than those from the Upper Level Sect.”
Elder Rong nodded approvingly then made a voice praising Lian Haocun's prowess.
Shen Wenhuan smiled mysteriously, “Ya, but because of that the path he took also had the same high danger as his talent.”
Elder Hong laughed in approval to Shen Wenhuan's words. While Elder Rong warned Shen Wenhuan to be careful,
Not long after, the Daffodil Conference began. The Golden Core Formation stage host took the stage with the mechanism below the stage until he was seen appearing all of a sudden.
The Daffodil Conference Stage is a circle surrounded by spectators who cheer from top to bottom until the conference atmosphere is festive. There was one large box room that had a shield so that the attacks inside did not reach outside the arena in the circle.
The host for the Daffodil Conference introduced himself first, then introduced and narrated the history of the Daffodil Conference in great detail using a vibrant tone to excite the audience and make the atmosphere even more festive.
Of course the host used his Spiritual Qi to amplify his voice until it was heard throughout the Daffodil Conference venue.
After finishing telling the history of the Daffodil Conference, the Host took out a small Scroll, then used a spell to enlarge it so that all the spectators could see the contents. Then the host said,
“For the participants featured in this Scroll, please go down the stage to get ready to participate in the first round.”
The names of Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran along with the three participants of the Blue Sky Sect were listed on the Scroll along with the names of the other participants.
Lian Huanran in high spirits immediately invites to head to the preparation room, “Come go.”
Shen Wenhuan took the lead to say to the participating members of the Blue Sky Sect before they had time to go to the preparation room,
“Beware.”
Followed by Elder Rong and Elder Hong who also gave short speeches. Then after feeling sufficient, the elders released the Blue Sky sect members who participated in the Conference, letting them head for the preparation room.
The preparation room was not located far away, in a fairly short time, the group of Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran, Tang Yelu and the other participants reached the preparation room. The preparation room is quite large. There were two hundred more participants already there.
There were also several other races participating but the most were still the human race. Most of them were in groups of two people with the age of about ten years to thirty. Therefore the existence of Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran was not so conspicuous as their actual cultivation level was hidden with magic tools from Shen Wenhuan.
The atmosphere in the preparation room felt harmonious on the surface, but it was extremely tense inside. After all, they are rivals of each other.
In order to pass the time, the members of the Blue Sky Sect discussed and made small talk with each other. So that suddenly the preparation room was more noisy due to the arrival of two people who had famous reputations, many people from the human race as well as other races whispered to each other with volumes that could still be heard,
“That's Kong Jun and Wu Shilin right?”
“True. Woah they look really cool. This is the first time I have seen it directly, but... I hope this preparation room is not destroyed.”.
“It can't be like that. Although they are in conflict, this is the Daffodil Conference!”
Some whispering voices agreed.
