After touring Luan City, Zhang Yu and Xin Wang went to the competition registration place in the town square. They signed up as participants, while Zhang Lao comfortably slept in his master's sling, making him look like a lazy spoiled beast.
It takes some time to register as a participant and get the participant's sequence number. All cultivators under the age of 50 were allowed to enter the competition, regardless of their realm of strength.
After obtaining the participants' sequence numbers, Zhang Yu decided to return to the inn. He wanted to slightly increase his strength before the start of the Empire competition the next day.
°°°
Morning, blue lotus inn.
Zhang Yu opened his eyes after spending most of the time increasing his strength. “ Spending ten high-level immortal cultivation pills only made me rise by one level,” he said disappointedly.
“Master, it's time we go to the competition place.” Xin Wang's voice sounded from outside his room.
Zhang Yu asked Xin Wang to wait, whereas he first wanted to clean himself up, and change his clothes with something more comfortable to use in the fight.
They just went to the competition after enjoying breakfast at the inn restaurant. Not long after walking, they finally reached their destination, which was already filled with thousands of people.
“From the information I get, this year's participants are ten times more than in previous years,” said Xin Wang who continues to seek information from people nearby.
Zhang Yu himself already knew about the large number of young cultivators, who this year participated in the Qing Empire's young cultivators competition.
“Who also doesn't want to become a middle-tier Sect disciple in the Middle Continent! So, it is only natural that the number of participants is more than in previous years,” said Zhang Yu, while walking to the gathering place of the participants.
Xin Wang nodded his head after hearing what his master had revealed, and continued to walk after him.
They finally found an empty seat, shortly before the start of the Qing Empire's young cultivators competition opening ceremony.
The hustle and bustle of the crowd in the square of Luan City instantly came to a halt. The participants who were still noisily, suddenly quieted in tranquility as soon as they saw the figure of an old man standing in one of the fighting arenas. All eyes looked at the figure of the old man with an adoring look, and were full of admiration. They all knew who the old man was. Luan Lu, the strongest cultivator in the Southern Continent, whose strength was at the 7th level of the Heavenly Road realm.
Moreover, he was also the ruler of Luan City, and the Great Elder of the Luan Holy Family.
“The annual competition of young cultivators of the Qing Empire, and the selection of the thousand sword sect disciples will begin soon. I hope you all calm down, and don't interfere with the competition. After this, the representatives of the thousand swords sect will rise to the top of the arena, and guide the course of the competition.”
“Before the competition and selection of the thousand sword sect disciples began, I will introduce the two grand figures who came from the thousand sword sect. Elder Li Zhong, and elder Li Huang, may you be entertained by the course of the competition,”.
The two elders nodded slowly. From the faint aura that came out from the bodies of the two, everyone knew their strength was far above Luan Lu's strength. Despite being the strongest person in the Southern Continent, the old man only possessed strength equivalent to that of a warrior chief.
“Alright, the Qing Empire competition, and the selection of thousand sword sect disciples can be started!” luan Lu said, then she returned to her seat.
Xia Dao, and Li Wulan rose to the top of the arena, and would guide the course of the competition. Both of them possessed strength at the 9th level of the Heavenly Road realm, which was certainly stronger than Luan Lu's figure. Out of the ten existing stages, each of them had the responsibility of fusing the fight in the five arenas.
“I will read out the competition rules. Participants are declared victorious if the opponent admits defeat, fainting, or is thrown out of the arena. Can use weapons, but can not handicap the opponent, let alone kill!” xia Dao said.
“I think you guys already understand, and for the participants whose numbers I called, expected to climb to the top of the arena.” said Li Wulan, then he called one by one the competition participants number.
Whereas above the battle arena, each participant fought seriously, and exerted their peak strength. Other than seeking victory, they did that to attract the interest of the sect elder of a thousand swords. But unfortunately, their strength was still far from the expectations of the two sect elders present witnessing the course of the competition.
Elsewhere, Zhang Yu and Xin Wang went to a restaurant not far from the town square, to just buy a snack.
“Xin Wang, how about we enjoy food in this place before fighting?” zhang Yu asked, pointing at the magnificent building of a restaurant in front of him.
Xin Wang simply nodded and went to follow Zhang Yu. Just entered the restaurant with luxurious ornaments, the second step was stopped by the veiled woman yesterday.
“Do you want to go inside? Then I'll come with you guys.” The woman just directly picked up Zhang Lao from Zhang Yu's sling, and nonchalantly stood beside the young man whose height did not differ much from her.
‘Hopefully no problems come because of its existence’ Zhang Yu said inwardly.
Entering the restaurant and choosing to sit in a place far from other visitors, the waiter came, and asked what food they wanted to order.
Zhang Yu ordered the best food and drink for the three people, but since the woman beside him wanted the same food and drink, so he ordered four portions of the best food and drink, so he ordered four servings of the best food and drink, the one in the restaurant.
“This is the best food and drink in our restaurant. May you and Miss love it,” said the waiter while arranging food and drinks on the table, then he went to serve other customers.
Zhang Yu had given the pouch containing two hundred gold coins to the servant, before his departure.
While wanting to eat his food, Zhang Yu secretly glanced at the veiled woman who momentarily caused her veil, while putting the food into her mouth. A faint smile was seen on Zhang Yu's face as he looked at the face behind the veil worn by the woman nearby.
A group of young cultivators with scar-filled faces walked into the restaurant, as Zhang Yu was enjoying his meal.
Seeing that all the seats had been filled, four of them came to Zhang Yu's place, and immediately kicked down the table where there was still plenty of food and drink on top. Zhang Lao who was on the table immediately groaned furiously at them.
“I see your food is almost done. So, you should leave this place immediately, before something bad happens to you!” said the guy who just broke the table.
“Sorry, our food is still a lot left,” said Zhang Yu indifferently, and did not glance at the whereabouts of his interlocutors.
The emotions of the four people increased, after hearing Zhang Yu's reply.
“You seem to need to be taught a little lesson, and I happen to still be upset about losing a competition fight. So I can channel my frustration by hitting you!” reply to others.
That person tried to attack Zhang Yu, but in just one blink of an eye he collapsed with his head falling down on the restaurant floor.
“You really interrupted my meal!” said the veiled woman who had been muffled up from her seat, with her right hand holding a small sword with sharp blades on either side.
There was a bloodstain on his sword, after killing one of the people who disturbed his calm.
“Cruel women, who cannot be underestimated. Somehow I like the character,” Zhang Yu said as he placed an empty bowl on the table, and refocused on seeing the show before his eyes.
