Chapter 270
"I've seen it. Tomorrow's seventh match is yours," Yundou said sympathetically, "You have to fight Yu Mengyang from the Huoyang Sect."
This name is familiar to children.
The first match of the day was between Jiang Zhu from the Governor's Mansion and Yu Mengyang from the Huoyang Sect. It was over in the blink of an eye, and the children didn't even understand who won.
The first few matches were all like that, just a few snaps and it was over, leaving the people fighting dazzled and unable to understand, until those two kids came on stage like they were fighting, and things got better.
"Me, Huoyang Sect, Yu Mengyang?" The child had known that her luck was getting worse and worse, but she never thought it would be this bad.
"Have people from the Huoyang Sect ever lost?"
"Hmm... no," Yundou thought for a moment, then said with increasing sympathy, "If it really doesn't work out, just admit defeat. It's no shame if everyone loses anyway."
"That's true," the child nodded, "If I give up early, I can suffer less.
I can’t do this like yesterday, where I almost lost my life.”
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with Chu Yiyi," Yundou nodded his head and said, "Those from Huoyang Sect seemed quite normal. They beat the man down and even said they were letting him down. They were very polite.
But you also have to be careful. They know some kind of fire-controlling technique, which can easily burn people. This afternoon, a man in Prince Ming's palace was burned. His eyebrows were bald and a large area of his head was burned. He probably won't be able to grow hair anymore.
Those screams, tsk tsk, are even more miserable than those with broken arms and legs."
That makes sense. Broken arms and legs can be reattached, but if your hair is gone, it's really gone.
The child rubbed his head as if feeling the same thing, grinning and saying, "This is too scary..."
"Who says it's not?" Yundou frowned and touched the child's head. "Your hair is amazing, if it's gone..."
The child glared at her.
Yundou smiled guiltily: "I'd better find you a pot belt."
"What's the use?" The child glanced at her and gestured, "It can withstand the fire, but my head will still be cooked."
"Oh, you don't have to think too much. Someone used fire control in that round, and the others used weapons to chop. You are not as good as that man in fighting."
Yundou comforted her in a harsh tone,
"I've asked around, and the people of the Huoyang Sect all have very bad tempers. They prefer to fight head-on, and won't use magic unless the opponent is a formidable one.
Even if I get injured in a fight, I will try not to use it.
This is called... this is called... this is called training the body through battle."
Yundou bit his nails and thought for a long time before he remembered the word.
The child couldn't understand: "There is a way to save energy and be safe, but you insist on going head-to-head. Isn't that stupid?"
“That’s what I said, but those people laughed at me for not knowing what I was doing.
They say that those who rely solely on magic are prone to death."
"Why?" the child asked humbly.
Kidney Bean: “That’s what I asked.”
"and then?"
"Then they rolled their eyes and ignored me. Some even said I was a piece of rotten wood, with no wisdom, and that no matter how many questions I asked, it would be useless. They told me to stay away and not delay them from watching the fight."
"and then?"
"Then I got angry!" Yundou clenched his fists and said, "Just go if I say so. You guys are just rotten wood, wood that no one wants even if you pay for it! If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. Why are you so proud? You're rolling your eyes. Aren't you afraid of your eyeballs popping out?
They even secretly said that I have a bad temper! It really pissed me off! I guess they have never seen a temper before. "
Yundou and the child probably met a group of people.
It was pretty good, they even said a few words to her. But when the child asked, they didn't say anything useful, which was just annoying.
"Someone's going to beat them up sooner or later," the child cursed, waving his hands. "Forget about them. Have you heard of the Immortal Sect Competition? I heard that Yu Mengyang from the Huoyang Sect and Jiang Zhu from the Governor's Mansion are both going to the Immortal Sect Competition. What the hell is that?"
It seems that An Xi harmed her in order to show the Cui family's children some of their strength before the Immortal Sect Competition.
Although she didn't succeed in the end and turned the child into a delicate baby who couldn't be touched or bumped into, it was obvious that she really cared about this matter.
When the child asked her, she refused to explain.
The child is not good at finding out things, but Yundou has heard a little bit. She likes to watch the fun and spread the news everywhere. She can't guarantee whether it is true or not.
"You don't even know this!" Yundou, who had just learned about it, said in surprise, "That's the most important duel in Dayong. I heard it's related to some chance or spiritual vein.
Anyway, it is very important. It is held only once every five years. At that time, officials from the immortal families from all over the country will select young practitioners under the age of 25 to go to the imperial capital.
However, not everyone has the opportunity to participate.
There were tens of thousands of people there, but only five hundred qualified to participate."
"This... seems a bit too little, right?"
Princess Ming and her companions set up a stage, and without even telling anyone about the benefits or prizes, more than a hundred people showed up in droves. If they hadn't stopped so quickly, there would definitely have been even more.
Wuzhou alone is like this, how many extraordinary people must there be in the entire Dayong?
They say that extraordinary people are rare, so how come the child can't feel it at all?
"That's a lot," Yundou said. "It's good enough to get 500 people."
"Ah? Didn't you say that there were thousands of people..."
"Thousands of people went, but they had to find the tokens first. Those without tokens were not allowed to participate. Those without the seals of the four families, Cui, Wang, Liu, and Li, on their recommendation letters were not allowed to participate. Those who killed someone to obtain the tokens or seals were not allowed to participate. Only those who met all three of these requirements could participate in the Immortal Sect Competition. However, many people couldn't even pass the first requirement; they simply couldn't find the tokens."
Yundou counted on his fingers and said this to the child, then shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless and regretful.
The child looked at her in confusion: "What do you mean it can't be found? Is the token hidden?"
"Yes, it's well hidden. Some places are extremely dangerous and you could lose your life if you're not careful. Even though it says that those who have killed someone are not allowed to participate, many people die every time. And even those who qualify are not safe either. Once your name is on the list for the Immortal Sect Competition, you will have to take your own life and death from then on."
When Yindou talked about this, he also felt it was scary and quickly drank some water to calm himself down.
The child wondered, "Who would go there if it's so dangerous? Would they risk their lives?"
"Without danger, where would the opportunity come from? Pies don't fall from the sky. If you don't want to go, just stay away." Yundou had already gotten used to this rhetoric, and added, "This world is all about the survival of the fittest."
