Chapter 414 - Sword Realm (2/2)

Speaking of guardians, Hao Xuan only found out the meaning of the two vertical lines on the back of his identity token after arriving here. Apparently, he was a guardian as well.

Each moving city of one of the main powers had at least three guardians. These guardians had a lot of power as compared to the normal participants.

The first guardian was to set up duels and oversee the official combat between the three cities.

The third guardian had to protect the city itself and the beast along with overseeing all the participants to make sure there were no traitors, no infighting etc. Basically policing everyone.

The second one who this time around was Hao Xuan, had complete freedom to move around go explore the local world and gather information. This is why Ryfon's master gave him this position so he could find the secrets of this new power the planet had awakened.

Also, none of the other two guardians could force him to do anything because of it.

Under normal circumstances, each participant could not leave the moving city on their own. They not only had to get permission from one of the guardians but also report why they were going out.

And it wasn't like the guardians weren't above the participants themselves, their status just indicated that they had just been officially recognized by their supervising power and were given more authority and special missions to accomplish.

Stasa was the third guardian of the Hall's city which Hao Xuan found out when Henrik shouted out loud that as long as a guardian was nearby, Stasa could not challenge him directly. That's why Hao Xuan was forced to participate in the fight, or rather Stasa attacked him before he could deny the challenge.

Hao Xuan rubbed the sword wound on his abdomen. Even though Stasa didn't use any Qi in his attack, the wound had still not closed completely which totally stumped Hao Xuan. There was something about his attack that he did not understand. It looked like a simple forward slash but there was much more to it.

Was this the difference between realms?

”Sword Realm...huh?” Hao Xuan mumbled with squinted eyes. It was like Stasa could 'feel' his stare from across the hall and slowly turned around to meet Hao Xuan's eyes.

”Da!” seeing the seriousness in Hao Xuan's eyes the little boy waved the chicken bone around in the air threateningly.
