The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 183 The Ten Chosen
It was the last day of the training of the youths and only remained less than 3 days before the start of the annual martial arts competition.
Jiu Shen stood on a huge platform within the fierce beast battle arena. He wore a set of blue-colored robes that gave him a majestic and noble aura.
“I didn't think these kids didn't even need me to save them. And from the looks of it, their strength had also increased tremendously even the weakest among them was already at the early stages of the 2nd rank Elite Warrior realm. As for the two little people, Yang Zenke and Han Sen, they were even more impressive. The latter had just broken through to the peak stage of the 3rd rank Crusader realm after experiencing quite a number of life and death battles. As for that brat Yang Zenke, he actually had a lucky encounter and found a high-level spiritual fruit, and he had even broken through the early stages of the rank 4 Knight Crusader realm after eating it. It's impressive! With the strength and experience of both little boys, they should be able to enter the top ten even if their cultivation level was weaker compared to their opponents.”Jiu Shen muttered as he used his relationship with the Heart of the World to bring out a hundred young men from the Spirit World.
Oho!
A number of gaps in space appeared in front of Jiu Shen and several silhouettes were forcibly thrown out from this gap in space.
All the youths were now in a tangled state and they had wounds all over their bodies, and even the two most promising youths among them were not in better condition. They all looked like beggars with their tattered clothes and armor, and even the sword in their hands seemed to be broken to a certain degree. However, despite their sorry state, the look in their eyes was sharp and cold-blooded as if they were wolves scanning their surroundings with cautious gazes.
They had experienced quite a number of life and death battles during the ten days they stayed in the Spirit World. Some of them were even close to death, but fortunately, they had teammates who never gave up on them. And because of this training, the friendship and brotherhood among these youths deepened.
Everything now can be considered a cultivator!
Seeing the change in their attitude and aura, Jiu Shen was quite satisfied with their appearance.
Holding onto their wounded bodies, Yang Zenke, Han Sen, and the others stood up quickly after realizing that they were no longer in that ‘ dangerous place’. They then glanced at Jiu Shen with respectful gazes as they bowed in unison.
“Greetings, sir!”
“Greetings, sir!”
A smile appeared on Jiu Shen's expressionless face. He then said. “You have done a great job in surviving such an environment, however, it is only the beginning of your bloody path. The road ahead is even more dangerous and life-threatening, but since everyone is safe, I will give you a reward. for this achievement.”
A hundred wooden boxes were neatly placed in front of the youths, making them curious about what was hidden inside.
“Open. These boxes are your gift.” Jiu Shen said after seeing that the young men were still standing foolishly.
Inside each box was a black robe embroidered with a red dragon pattern that looked noble and imposing. In addition, there was also a one meter sword that was blood red. The sword gave off an elegant and graceful feeling that could not be found in ordinary swords. It was actually an Earth-ranked Weapon!
Each of them received the same set of equipment, but the youths were satisfied with this.
Looking at the material of the black robe and the blood red sword, both of them did not look simple, either, and it could be said that they looked luxurious and majestic which made these cold-looking youths reveal warm smiles on their faces.
“Master, is this really our gift?” Yang Zenke held a blood red sword and black robe firmly in his hand as he raised his head to look at Jiu Shen with an expression of disbelief. This was the first time this former slave had seen such expensive looking equipment, so they felt as if they were in a dream.
Jiu Shen smiled amusedly at him, but he still nodded his head at the child as he said. “Indeed. Wear your new robe now while I announce who I will be bringing with me for the annual martial arts contest three days from now.”
Everyone nodded their heads after hearing his words and they immediately changed into their new black robes. After changing into new clothes, the temperament and aura of the young men changed drastically. If they looked like beggars on the roadside just a moment ago, then at this moment, they all looked like young elites from ancient sects or clans.
“I have been monitoring the progress you all experienced in these ten days, so this time, I will bring the ten strongest individuals among you to register in the competition. Those who will follow me are: Yang Zenke, Han Sen, ..”
The weakest among the ten called Jiu Shen was already at the initial stage of the 3rd rank Crusader realm, but it was not a problem for him to defeat someone at the 4th rank Crusader realm with superior sword and Earth techniques. Weapon weapon. Not to mention the black robe he was wearing was not simple either. In fact, it was made of a high-tier fabric that could withstand the attacks of a 5th rank Spirit realm savage beast!
As Jiu Shen announced the ten names, everyone held their breaths. The youths whose names were called clenched their hands in excitement. And after Jiu Shen announced the ten names, those who were not summoned felt a little sad in their hearts, but their faces immediately shone with fighting intent. They may not be the strongest at the moment, but they will not be the same in the future.
“The rest of you will stay here to train and familiarize yourself with your new weapons. As for the ten of you whose names are called, follow me to the imperial palace.” said Jiu Shen.
The registration process for the participants was still ongoing, and the competition would be held right outside the imperial palace. Currently, there should still be many young people who sign up for the contest.
Hm?
Just as Jiu Shen was about to step out of the ferocious beast fighting arena together with the ten chosen youths, he suddenly felt a familiar aura coming towards them.
He glanced in a certain direction and saw the familiar silhouette of his senior disciple Lu Sulan. Following behind him were ten young women with cold and cold temperaments. They all looked to be under twenty years old, so Jiu Shen guessed that they should be the participants that the Lu Sulan Ice Cloud Sword Sect would send for the contest. Looking at them, they did not look weak at all, and even the weakest among them was also at the early stages of the 3rd rank Crusader world.
