At the location of the Central State Tournament, there were many people surrounding the arena. They were all excited, perfectly showing off the prosperity of Central State City.
The six large stilts were constructed of strong hardwood, each separated by several feet. It appears to be set in a hexagram pattern. There were six different stages in each of the six points as well as a gigantic central stage that would obviously be used for the final fight.
The stage was completely surrounded by people, with some respectable guest areas set aside for extended families. Currently, those areas were still empty, no large families had appeared yet.
There was a gigantic wooden board near the area with golden words the size of a fist written stating the rules and on the stage where every competitor was fighting.
Chu Tian's group was divided between six stages, so unless it was the final battle, they would not meet each other.
Feng Qingyun looked at the rules on the wooden board and snorted laughing as she said, “I hope your luck is good, or you won't make the final fight.”
Chu Tian thought otherwise, “My luck is always good.”
The crowd around him became excited.
“The Chu family is here!”
“It was the head of the Chu Family Chu Shanhe and the Heavenly Sword Young Master Chu Xinghe!”
The Chu Family array was not large, but it was extremely extraordinary. The swordsmen of the Chu Family were all wearing uniforms and they all seemed to be older level characters. Any one of these people could be considered an important person in Central State City.
There were around fifty Chu Family elders and Chu Family officers following a hundred meters behind around two beautiful sedans as they walked towards the distinguished guest viewing area.
“The Luo, Ye, and Yun.” Family
“Three other great families are here!”
Luo Luo Luo Family Liancheng and Dragon Tiger Young Master Luo Xianglong. Ye Wudao the Ye Family and Young Master the Heavenly Wolf Ye Tianlang. The Yun Tianhe Family Patriarch and the Purple Lightning Young Master Yun Yao.
This was truly a grant summit held once every few years in Central State City. All the legendary characters of Central State City gathered together like this.
The heads of the Four Great Families and their successors all attended this grand summit!
Grand General of the Middle State Xiong Wuji!
A dark and powerful general led several hundred elite guards as everyone looked on in awe. The Xiong Family was a prominent family in the Middle States, only inferior to the Feng Family and the Four Great Families.
Chu Tian's eyes lit up slightly.
Is this actually him?
The general that Chu Tian met back at the Black Wind Fortress had left a good impression on him. Even though he knew that this person did not have a low status, Chu Tian would never have thought that this person would be in charge of the Central State's military.
Although the influence of his family was weaker than the Four Great Families, in terms of his personal strength, this Great General named Xiong Wuji was no weaker than the other family heads.
“Mayor is here!”
The principal is here!
At this moment, the drums began to be hit as an incredible guard appeared.
A man wearing a blue mayor robe floated in the sky and landed on the judge's seat. There was a scientific middle-aged man following behind the mayor. Their faces were very similar, making it clear that they were siblings.
Central State City Mayor Feng Yunlong!
Central State Academy's Headmaster Feng Yunhu!
Both of them were the backbone of the Feng Family of the Central State City!
One governed the Main City and the other governed the Central State Academy!
With this, the great military and political families as well as the Four Great Families had all arrived!
The people standing on top of the Central State pyramid are here. Central State City attaches great importance to this meeting which can be clearly seen from this view.
This competition is related to the Central State Court quota!
The Central State Court is something that all Central State youths dream of participating in!
The Central Country Court meant a great treasure, even including the inheritance from the ancient cultivators. Every time the Central State Court opened, only ten people were allowed to enter!
The Four Great Families were seniors from Central State City, so every family already had a place.
The remaining six spots were determined by the Central State Tournament. Even the Feng Family had no place, after all, even though the Feng Family had a high position, they did not have many people. They've only been in Central State City for decades.
Dong, dong, dong!
The golden bell rings!
The audience immediately fell silent.
Everyone understood that this great summit was about to begin.
At this moment, a strong wind filled the sky and an incredible aura suddenly appeared. A long laugh rang out from the sky and echoed throughout the arena of the Central State Tournament.
This year's tournament was quite lively, so this marquis was here to join!
When they heard this voice, everyone was shocked!
Ordinary people all kneeled. The normal generals, officials, and heads of small to medium-sized families were all half-kneeling. The heads of the Four Great Families and the Four Young Masters all had to stand up to pay their respects.
“We welcome the Divine Wind Marquis!”
“We welcome the Divine Wind Marquis!”
Divine Wind Marquis Feng Yuntian wore a simple blue robe and walked in the sky. Moving a hundred meters away, she fell in front of her two younger cousins sitting in the jury chair.
No need for formalities!
This Marquis is only here to watch. No matter how this tournament goes, it will remain the same! No need to change anything for me!
Still the nobles all showed excited expressions. The Divine Wind Marquis had no position, but was the protector of the Central State Region as well as one of the Southern Eight Summer Marquis!
Just by the name of the Divine Wind Marquis.
That would represent a higher position than the mayor!
The Feng family was a respected family in the Imperial City and had made many contributions in the Spirit Beast war. In the past, Feng Yuntian's entire branch had plunged itself into war and only a few people had returned. Feng Yuntian's military service had given him the title of Divine Wind Marquis and he had brought his family to the Central State twelve years ago.
In that tragic war, most of the Feng Family's direct descendants had died.
Feng Yunhu and Feng Yunlong were younger cousins of Feng Yuntian, but in truth, they were both from branch families. However, Feng Yuntian did not care about the strength and not only did he raise their position, he even resigned himself as the head and made their branch the main branch.
When it was discovered that Feng Yuntian's daughter had her innate meridians blocked, the Feng Family knew that it would be useless, but they did not hesitate to pour all kinds of precious resources into her.
The reason here is.
Feng Yuntian was originally the head of the family.
He had contributed this much to the family and had given up his position, so how could the Feng Family persecute his descendants? This was the least the Feng Family could do!
The Feng family controlled the territory of the Central State, but there were not many people in their clan.
However, the strength of the Divine Wind Marquis surpassed that of the Central State region and no one could fight against him, he could even move endlessly across the Southern Summer Country. Only old monsters in the Three Great Families could force back the Divine Wind Marquis.
So it doesn't matter they only have a few members!
The reputation of the Divine Wind Marquis was enough to protect them!
“Out old cousin!”
“Please sit!”
The mayor of Central State City did not dare to act arrogantly in front of the Divine Wind Marquis. Feng Yuntian acted impolitely and sat at the highest position, “Have started?”
“It will start now!” Feng Yunhu is the Headmaster of Central State Academy, so he is the main judge today, the “Big matches will now start!”
The golden bell sounded once again.
Over a hundred participants arrived at the arena.
“Lu Ren versus Chu Ming!”
Chu Tian was stunned for a few seconds. This can't be true? How coincidental! He fought in the first match.
His opponent was even surnamed Chu!
Chu Tian walked out.
Some big characters looked towards him.
Yun Tianhe stood up, “This little brat!”
Chu Xinghe also opened her eyes and her sword-sharp eyes turned her head, “This is it?”
Feng Yuntian naturally also noticed Chu Tian, looking at him a few times, This camouflage technique is quite good, it is even difficult for me to see it. No wonder it fools so many people.
Chu Ming was the retainer of the Chu Family.
The Chu Family was a little similar to the Yun Family. If the Yun Family was a learned family, then the Chu Family was a militaristic family. The Yun Family recruited all the Middle State scholars, while the Chu Family recruited warriors with talent throughout the Central State.
The Chu Family was much stronger than the Yun Family and could provide even greater benefits.
There will be no free food in the world. The Chu family provided better benefits, but they had much stricter requirements. From ordination to followers, they all had to change their surnames to Chu once they entered the Chu Family.
Like this with Chu Tongwen and Chu Batian.
It was the same as the young Chu Ming.
Chu Ming was originally a very famous young talent and because the Chu Family liked him, they had spent a lot of money to buy him. He had trained for ten years in the Chu Family and had been taught the best cultivation technique that the Chu Family had, now he was a member of the Chu Family.
Chu Ming had yet to enter the Central State Academy and from the two outsider teams, Chu Ming had come from another team.
The Chu Family members revealed satisfied expressions.
An elder said, “Talent Chu Ming is rarely seen even in the Chu Family.”
“Throttle once!” The other elder nodded, He is only twenty years old and is already at the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer. He had surpassed normal Chu Family elders and high-level managers.
The most frightening thing was that he had an incredible sword art. There are not many experts on the same level who can block Chu Ming's sword, even you and I will probably have trouble.
What nonsense. Our Chu Family sword technique is famous throughout the Southern Summer Country, how many people can block it?
“This nameless naughty cultivator is sure to lose!”
The Chu Family members were filled with confidence.
Only Chu Xinghe slightly fused her brows.
At this moment, Chu Ming took out a curved sword and coldly looked at Chu Tian, ” Surrender now! I am a member of the Chu Family and the unruly cultivator fighting the Chu Family is only seeking death!
Chu Tian did not even draw his sword and crossed his arms in front of him, You can even say these kind of naive words? Not to mention a Chu Family slave like you, would I care if it was even a true Chu Family member? Stop wasting your time and move on!
The Chu Family Slave?
These words truly hurt Chu Ming!
You seek death! Then I'll help you!
Chu Ming gripped his arching sword and like stepping on a skateboard, his body did not move as he appeared in front of Chu Tian. The curved sword sent out a cold light right in his chest.
Too fast!
Chu Ming's body seemed to be motionless, rather it seemed to have teleported away as a cold light split through the air with a powerful momentum.
Chu Tian did not even blink when he saw the sword piercing forward.
Everyone screams in shock, “Why doesn't he dodge?”
When the sword light was about to pierce through it, Chu Ming suddenly disappeared!
The crowd suddenly realized!
Chu Ming practiced killing cultivation techniques. On the surface it seemed like he was attacking, but it was just an illusion meant to confuse his opponents, making it difficult for them to distinguish between the real and the fake.
If Chu Tian made an attempt to dodge or resist, he would reveal a loophole that Chu Ming could exploit.
As soon as the illusion disappears.
Chu Tian felt a chill strike his throat.
Hyperfocus!
Chu Tian slightly moved his body and a cold sword passed through his neck, missing by the smallest amount.
Chu Ming's expression changed.
He quickly charged forward.
Once again disappeared with a run.
Chu Tian revealed a cold mocking smile and condensed spirit energy in his left hand, gradually turning his two fingers into a golden color.
Diamond Cutting Pulse Finger!
He's sticking out in front of her.
Damnit damnit!
The two golden fingers caught the sword that pierced forward.
Pa!
Chu Tian used a bit of strength.
His blade instantly broke and his wild energy became uncontrollable, forming a violent explosion. A transparent figure fell from the air and was forced back several steps.
It's been penetrated!
This is the Illusory Body Sword Art of the Chu Family, how can it be broken!
Chu Ming looked at the broken sword in his hand and his face turned sinister with anger.
How could this possibly happen?
I am a talent taught by the Chu Family! I actually lost to a rogue cultivator!
“I can't believe I can't kill you!”
Chu Ming stimulated his spirit energy to unleash another attack, but he suddenly felt a tremendous pain from his chest. He looked down to see the broken snow-white sword blade inserted into his chest. Blood kept spitting out.
“No no!”
Chu Ming panicked as he grabbed onto his chest. He walked forward a few steps and then fell to the ground.
“This is the Chu Family sword technique?” Chu Tian walked to Chu Ming's limp body and like playing with a ball, he kicked him out of the ring, “What a mess!”
What an amazing step!
No doubt this will cause a huge stir!
The Chu Family sword technique is in disarray?!
It was like a slap on those who were filled with pride with themselves, resounding with great clarity!
They were the strongest sword cultivators family of the Middle States, approaching the strongest sword cultivators family in the Southern Summer Country, yet he called the Chu Family's sword techniques a mess? He was clearly trying to damage the reputation of the Chu Family!
Chu Shanhe's eyes turned icy cold, “This child must die!”
