White String(Up In Book Next)
Chapter 65: The Rage of the Dragon

The hundred best talents who have been selected have each already got the lottery number and are preparing to fight for the top fifty positions. This round will be done with two groups of fifty people each. The rules are still the same as the round of 200, that is, the participant will be eliminated half of the total amount.

The Thousand Swords Mountain had thirteen quotas including eleven White String disciples and two inner disciples. This quota almost equaled the entire quota of the Red, Blue, and Green Martial Families which each had three quotas.

Other than a few people from well-known backgrounds, there were some who were not from the Martial Sect/Family. There were five famous people, namely Jiang Feifei, Xia Qiangye, Huang He, Fu Hiaotian, and Jia Daobao. Some say that they were geniuses from small clans or members of bounty hunters. (Bounty hunter: one who receives payment for completing missions/quests)

Fu Hiaotian was a phenomenal one. He was carrying a two thousand kilogram heavy sword on his back. Every person he fought would end up pitifully under the blunt sweep of the metal plate if not surrender immediately.

His opponent was Su Xiaoxiao, from the Water Martial Family. Su Xiaoxiao was a zither player who trapped opponents in illusions with a tone. Many men are crazy about him. But looking at his true character, he was not a good person.

"Fu Hiaotian, huh? Are you from the Fu Clan, the Wind Martial Family?" Su Xiaoxiao put the zither in her arms as she looked at Fu Hiaotian curiously. Fu Hiaotian who was asked scratched his head that was not itching awkwardly."Looks like you should be disappointed. I'm just a bounty hunter."

Dong!Dong!Dong!

The plucked zither tone felt a little intoxicating to those who heard it. There was even an effect of lowering the concentration by twenty percent."Good thing.I don't need to offend anyone by making you a stepping stone for me."

Although Fu Hiaotian was smiling, there was a faint twitch on his forehead."Miss Su, your words are too exaggerated. I do not have an extraordinary background, but who will be the stepping stone is yet to be determined!"

Su Xiaoxiao made a face of ostensibly surprise and covered her lips with one hand, "Ah!Young Master Fu was right. My words are not exaggerated, you know. I'm really going to make one more stepping stone from the swordsman in the middle of nowhere."

The Rage of the Dragon, the name of the sword, when Fu Hiaotian pulled it from his back, there was faintly the roar of an enraged Dragon. "The deaf have a blessing, that is, they will never hear your nonsense. You geniuses from great clans are always arrogant!" Fu Hiaotian spoke to himself in a soft voice.

One of the reasons very few heavy sword users were due to too many flaws rather than advantages. Although called a sword, the definition of a heavy sword has deviated far from the true meaning of the sword.

In this series, there are already two people who use heavy swords. One of them was Lu Xiaoyi, who was basically a blacksmith. With great power, it can minimize the weakness of heavy swords.

The other is Fu Hiaotian. For that reason, let's trouble the author to tell a flashback.

✾✾✾

"Ahahaha, basic handicap!People like you are worse than dog t*i!"

"It's not very safe to protect others, you can't even protect yourself."

"The handicapped!"

"Tian'er, that's enough. You don't have to protect your sister anymore. Brother apologized, you were beaten up because of big brother," while crying loudly, Fu Yaoyao hugged tightly onto Fu Hiaotian who was younger by two years.

"Sister, there's no need to advise me!They're bothering my brother, can I just shut up?!" Fu Hiaotian wiped away the trace of blood on his lips as he tried to stand up.

"Tian...." Yun Feifei spilled his stuffing in the arms of Fu Hiaotian, his only sister and the person he cared about the most."Sorry brother..."

In the Black Wind City, Klan Fu was quite influential. Fu Yaoyao and Fu Hiaotian's parents had died since childhood, so they were cared for by their grandfather. Every day, Fu Hiaotian would be oppressed because of his eyes that could not see and his spirit root that was not clear.

Fourteen-year-old Fu Yaoyao is married to the mayor's son for political gain by her uncle. Grandfather Fu Yaoyao and Fu Hiaotian could do nothing even if he was an elder. Fu Yaoyao cried all night and planned to run away from home with Fu Hiaotian.

But not long after they passed the guards, the people from the mayor's residence came and brought them back. Fu Yaoyao could only accept her fate while Fu Hiaotian was locked up in the basement.

With mental fortitude above the average of his peers, Fu Hiaotian had a special reason for choosing a heavy sword. Ordinary swords can only be used as assault weapons, not for defense. But a heavy sword, even if he was surrounded by ten thousand enemies, he could still protect the people behind him and push back tens of people with a single sword move.

Heavy swords were no longer just weapons to attack, but also for defense. With a number of flaws and difficulties to master it, the swordsman who possessed the heavy sword was not destined to become an ordinary person. Like Fu Hiaotian, even if the people in his entire clan and the people from the mayor's residence were chasing after him, he could still fight them while protecting his older brother, Fu Yaoyao, and the person precious to him behind her.

As far as this flashback went, the match between Fu Hiaotian and Su Xiaoxiao had reached the most unexpected peak.

Su Xiaoxiao's clothes had been torn in pieces. The smooth surface of his skin can make thousands of men line up to propose to him. But his face was currently unsightly. The strings in his zither had broken off. He no longer played songs against Fu Hiaotian.

If anyone was to blame, it was Su Xiaoxiao's luck. He met a monster carrying a heavy sword. If Su Xiaoxiao's abilities were a little higher, Fu Hiaotian would not be her opponent. Unfortunately, there is no 'if' or 'if'.

"Aiya, Miss Su seems to be quite familiar with the Flower House. But you'll be cold in that look, you know..." Fu Hiaotian leaned on the Dragon Rage Sword he had thrust into the ground.(House of Flowers: a brothel, in different names and concepts. Another name: art houses, where women 'sell' their skills.)

Su Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth. "Hmph!You're despicable. To fight a girl to this extent..."

"Hm?Wasn't Miss herself the one who wanted to create a stepping stone?Well, it feels a bit surprising to be jumped by your own springboard candidate," Fu Hiaotian grinned widely.

"I surrender. I won't wait for you to finish my clothes to make me give up," with a rude snort, Su Xiaoxiao jumped out of the arena. He wanted to say something, but soon he swallowed it back.

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao leave, Fu Hiaotian chuckled. Actually he knew what Su Xiaoxiao was going to say. Clearly, Su Xiaoxiao wanted to say that after this round was over, the Martial Water Family would not let go. But everyone clearly knows that background doesn't really matter here.
