The Miracle Throne
Chapter 31

Fajr the next day.

When the sun pierced through the clouds and shone on the general assembly of Tian Nan City, the entire scene came alive.

The year-end banquet, it will finally begin!

It is a brilliant celebration collaboration of the army, government, and the commercial world. It was a time when extended families were competing for natural resources, press conferences for business people announcing new business products or strategies, platforms for governments to announce new achievements and policies, and most importantly, it was the dance floor when the youths could show their abilities.

Overall, it was entertaining and lively. For the citizens, no one could distract them from the celebration.

Drums and cries filled the air.

Fresh flowers filled the sky.

Many people started cheering and shouting and shouting one by one, a big named family started appearing on the stage.

A group of mercenaries wearing shiny new gray armor were the most eye-catching, with long swords hanging by their sides. They each sat on top of their own cyan wolves, each wolf as big and uniform as they intimidated. The wolf flag fluttered in the air, filling the atmosphere with cold air.

“Tang Charge Wolf Fang!”

“Klan Ye is here!”

As the one leading the troops was a wide muscular man of forty or fifty years old, wearing a black brocade dress, and hanging on his shoulder, a dark golden robe. Both of his eyebrows were dense and thick, making one feel that he looked angry and intimidating the entire time. This person was Ye Xiong, the ruler of the Ye Tian Nan clan.

“Klan Du is also here!”

“Master Du Zhen Tian!”

Several hundred red-clad soldiers entered the scene. The Du Clan was also one of the big families in Tian Nan City, theirs was the weapon-making domain of the army. They have power and wealth. The younger generation is talented and comes in hordes. They are not people who can be underestimated.

Clan master Du Zhen Tian was a fifty or sixty year old man. He had navigated Tian Nan City for decades, cultivating the Du clan from a small family into a first-rate clan. This is no small matter!

“General Xiong Bing!”

Mayor of Nan Guan Yi City!

Li Chang Yun of the Alchemist Guild!

“Zhang Li Qing of the Talisman Guild!”

Everyone who appeared seemed stronger than the next!

The cheers of thousands of people did not seem to stop, and saying that the atmosphere was lively was an understatement.

Suddenly, Meng Qing Wu brought the people from the trading company onto the stage. Other than Meng Qing Wu, there were only two or three people. They looked shabby next to a powerful clan. The juxtaposition was so laughable that people started to comment cynically.

Hahaha, South Cloud Commerce is also attending the Summit Meeting?

“The trading company is not even sure about its future, did he come to the summit to embarrass himself?”

“Yes, Southern Cloud Pharmacy will soon collapse, Southern Cloud talisman will stop its production ... it is a miracle that she is allowed to join the trading company itself!”

An already unsustainable business center, which has dropped into the ranks of second or third-class products, which are so poor that it almost has to start selling themselves … it was only a matter of time before they had to close the shop.

And they dare to attend this grand meeting? It was practically asking to be humiliated!

After various activities and ceremonies…

The summit is officially about to begin!

As in previous years, the first activity was the Summit Meeting Big Competition!

In a world where instability and violence are the norm, power is always the most valuable asset.

The only factor in whether a clan can survive and thrive, is entirely based on its sufficient and independent ability to face challenges calmly. This kind of competition is to excite young children, and acts as a stage for those with abilities who want to be discovered.

Of course, one could not earn a living with a reputation. Talent does not always have to be displayed prominently. Each clan rushed to join each year, as if it was their lifeline in the ocean. This was definitely not for the entertainment of the citizens of Tian Nan City. It has a special meaning, and of course, it is the repartitioning of natural resources.

Tian Nan City was surrounded by many ownerless forests, ore mines, and nutritious fields.

What no one claimed, would definitely attract the ownership of competing people.

About a decade ago, in competition for land, Tian Nan City had been thrown into anarchy. Every large clan participated in open clashes and conflicts, while small families were stabbed from behind and conspired. No one wants to back down, and they don't want anyone else to make a profit. Dozens of small-scale and large-scale wars ensued, resulting in many deaths and injuries. As the corpses piled up, no one benefited, as the natural resources remained untouched and unprocessed.

People finally realized that competing like that was no less dignified than the eunuchs competing for the top spot in the brothel. Even if they manage to seize it, it is meaningless, and only peace produces wealth.

So, then what?

The Great Competition of the Summit Meeting!

Isn't this a fair way to repartition natural resources?

Once a year, everyone has a chance, whether a large clan or a small family. Anyone who fails this year can look forward to the next one. No matter how small the family was, as long as there were one or two young men who had the fortune to become one of them who possessed admirable strength.

Although the young man who was constantly injured during the race was normal, it was better than the all-out war raging among all the clans.

In order to avoid bloodshed, for young people to have a platform, and for everyone to recognize the latest talent, why not? Thus, with the recognition of the government's private notary, the clan signed a secret agreement, making the Grand Competition of the Summit Meeting a platform for repartitioning natural resources.

This tradition has been held for ten years or more.

Chu Tian was completely unaware of the secret agreement that existed.

To Chu Tian, the Summit Meeting was an adrenaline rush, a life experience as well as revenge for Xue Hen!

Under the guidance of a little white-haired old man, Chu Tian and the other 200 young men came to a small wooden hut.

Chu Tian had just picked up his own signboard when the sound of nettle floated into his ears. Ha, even the lowest lowly people join the Great Competition.

Chu Tian did not need to see who was speaking. “Well, if some cuckolds from Ye clan can join, the quality should not be too high to start.”

I know how you can pretend to be so safe and comfortable? Ye Han's eyes shone with a glimmer of threat. You should know your place. The Ye clan can kill you without even winking an eye.”

Actually, what I want to know is, why are you acting so stiff?

Chu Tian shrugged his shoulders. “Life is rotten, if you want it, take it.”

“Hah, I changed my mind.” Ye Han put on a cruel smile. I will do it in front of all the citizens of Tian Nan. I'll rip your bones out of your body one by one. Only through this way will I make everyone understand, this is the price to pay for offending the Ye clan. I will let everyone understand, that this is the conclusion of you, Chu Tian.

Chu Tian laughed. “Is that so?”

Ye Han turned around to announce to the group of young men behind him. “Listen! This guy is mine. Whoever dares to beat him in the preliminary round, I will personally make sure he will regret it.

Two hundred or so youths received this news anxiously.

How arrogant!

Totally tyrannical!

He actually announced to everyone present that others could not defeat Chu Tian.

“Don't worry, I will give you a chance,” Chu Tian said, as if he missed the entire matter. “If it's finished, shuu”

Insultant!

There was no one present who did not have a look of surprise emanated on his face.

There was actually someone in Tian Nan City who dared to talk to Ye Han like that?

Chu Tian grabbed his own signboard, walking past Ye Han without paying too much to look at Ye Han's face, which was an ugly reddish-red color.

The Great Competition begins!

East, west, south, north, center: five arena stages were used at the same time, signaling the start of the preliminary round.

“There are too many people here!”

“That Chu Tian guy, in which arena did he compete?”

Meng Ying Ying was like an ant stomping on a hot pot, meandering among the crowd to look for Chu Tian.

Meng Qing Wu was beside her sister, also busy looking for Chu Tian. Both of them are famous throughout the country as being of outstanding beauty. Wherever they went, they were followed by greasy and lustful gazes, making Meng Qing Wu extremely uncomfortable.

At present…

A judge from the arena closest to them announced into the air: “Middle arena, first round, first stage: Ye Han versus Lu Fei!”

Everyone was immediately excited.

“This Ye Han!”

“Isn't that Young Master Ye?”

Lu Fei was one of the young talents from a poor and simple family. It looks like it will be an entertaining game!

They both qualified for the top rankings, and they actually met during the first match. Let's watch!

The two walked up to the arena stage.

Ye Han's face shone with arrogance. “You are the Poor Talent of Tian Nan City that was recently recognized?”

Lu Fei was a plain and simple boy, with a straightforward and honest appearance. He politely cupped his hands. It is an honor to welcome you, Young Master Ye. Not talent, it's just the good of everyone.

Huh, knowing your flaws is good. You can leave now. Ye Han did not waste any words to sound arrogant. “You think a trash like you fits me?”

Lu Fei's face flushed red, but he struggled to control it. He is polite and respectful. Young Master Ye's abilities were very above average. Lu Fei knows he is not of your rank, but I still want to try. I hope Young Master will allow it.

A young man from a poor background trained tirelessly to this day was it that easy?

Lu Fei wanted to use this as an opportunity to interest important people, so that they could invest in him. Who would have thought that he would meet Ye Han in the first round?

This opportunity doesn't come so often. If he gave up now .. how could he give up now?

You just don't know when to stop.

Ye Han was already annoyed at Chu Tian. And now, how dare this little character dare to challenge him? His anger flared up, forcing energy out of him .. peak sixth level Body Refinement! Ye Han had reached the training to reach the peak of the sixth level! Compared to ten days ago, he had once again increased his strength significantly.

Fireflies dare to compete with the light of the sun and moon? You really don't know when to stop. Die!”

Ye Han's body suddenly released an incredible fighting spirit, as if a volcano had suddenly exploded, erupting with all its fury and strength, completely surrounding Lu Fei. The powerful energy pressing down on Lu Fei made him unable to move. He gathered a huge energy in his right hand and suddenly swung it towards his opponent.

Your Majesty's broom!

Secret Technique Ye: Noble Sweep!

Even Ye experts had to train to the ninth level before they could master it, but Ye Han was only at the peak of Sixth Level Body Refinement when he skillfully did so. This palm technique alone showed that Ye Han was above ordinary.

Lu Fei's face was deathly pale, clearly not anticipating Ye Han's true strength. He immediately shouted, Young Master, please stop! I surrender!”

“Very late!”

How could the fifth level Body Refinement from Lu Fei possibly defend against this?

Glorious Sweep landed on his chest. It was enough to shatter iron and stone, let alone creatures made of flesh and bone. The force tore Lu Fei's clothes into tatters, as if a huge fist had hit his body - Lu Fei was sent flying out of the arena, fainting as his body landed like a rag doll.

Too cruel!

This blow is enough to break bones and destroy blood vessels. Even if he was lucky enough to live, he would still be a vegetable.

Ye Han cleaned his shirt. The poor should have no ambition. You just don't know when to stop. People like you should have consequences like this.

Ye Han turned to the masses. This competition belongs to me, I have set my mind to it. Whoever tries to stop me, these are the consequences you will face.

Everyone's faces turned gray from fear.

Ye Han is really strong!

“Brothers!”

A weak cry interrupted the petrified silence.

A little girl in a tattered patchwork dress about ten years old rushed out, leaping towards Lu Fei's body. He helped his brother sit down. Her dress was quickly stained with a bright red color.

“Brothers!”

“Build!”

Don't leave me!

Lu Fei heard that soft voice and struggled to open his eyes. With trembling hands, she reached out to gently caress the cheeks of her younger sister. Sorry, brother disappointed you. I've embarrassed you.

The little girl shouted, No! Nah! Let's not join the tournament. Let's go home!”

Lu Fei struggled to move his head slightly to the left and then to the right, two tear lines running down his face. “Audes are useless ... let you down .. you ... take care of yourself!”

Saying so, his arm landed with a thud on the floor, his two eyes flashing white. His eyes were open, his brain was preoccupied with just one thought. If I die, what will happen to my sister?

SL: The Chinese believe that if a person dies with eyes open, it means he has unfinished business/cannot rest in peace

The little girl who hugged her brother's corpse cried.

Brother is dead!

“Kakak is dead!”

If not to support me and give me a good life, he wouldn't have joined this stupid tournament!

“You monster! The devil! Why did you have to kill him!”

The little girl's eyes flowed with pure hatred, leaping towards the arena without thinking any further.

“How dare you!”

Ye Han's eyes flashed again with a merciless desire to kill. His left hand rolled over, a ball of pure energy appeared in his palm, aimed directly at the little girl.
