Chapter 15 – ExChapteranging Pointers Competition (2/2)
“Okay, go ahead” said Ai Er while smiling.
Seeing Nuo Hu leave, Lei Yu asked: “What’s he doing?”
“In today’s exchange of martial arts assembly, there’s a competition where they fight and learn from each other, and my brother is one of the participants.
“Eh? Then we better cheer him on!”
At this time, from a distance came a teenager, well-dressed, one look and you could tell that he was rich. His facial features were quite attractive looking, but had a pair of bottomless eyes that made people uncomfortable when looking at it, because you couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
“Ai Er!”
They both turned towards the voice and Ai Er frowned a bit, “how come you’re back as well?”
“Once you left, there was no reason for me to stay abroad, so I returned.”
“Don’t use me as an excuse.” Ai Er was obviously not too happy, grabbing onto Lei Yu and trying to walk away.
This teenager frowned and looked at Lei Yu who was at the side of Ai Er, “who is this guy? Why does he have such a close relationship with Ai Er?”
“Hello everyone!” In the center of the hall stood a host on top of the stage. “Today is the martial arts exchange banquet held once every three years, we are very honored to have with us the governor Liu Wen Jin to be the judge of this, let us all warmly welcome him!”
The sound of applause rang out through the hall, Lei Yu looked up and saw a fat man standing below the stage, waving his hands in greeting to the audience. Even though he was fat, his demeanor seemed very friendly. When Liu Hao had not undergone his training, he too had that plump and elegant demeanor.
Besides Governor Liu, Lei Yu saw his own disciple Liu Hao’s figure, apparently Liu Hao did not see Lei Yu.
“And the other two judges – first being Instructor Zhuang from Dragon Group, and the second being Eagle Group’s Captain Zou. Captain Zou rushed over here all the way from another province thousands of miles away, let us all warmly welcome them both!”
Followed by another round of applause, once the applause ceased, the host continued: “In addition, we also invited the young genius from the special Lei family household, belonging to the main family, Lei Tian.”
Lei Yu’s brow went up with a frown, why would there be a figure of the Lei family here? Lei Yu had heard of this martial exchange banquet before, but the Lei family had never participated in it before.
A twenty something year old young adult looked around smiling and waving his hands. The current sound of applause was even more enthusiastic than before. Everyone knew of the Lei family, they were a commercial family, their wealth could match the country’s, and the inner workings of the family were very mysterious. Many people wanted to get close to them but had no way of doing so, but they actually appeared here today so how can people not be surprised and become excited? Although only someone of the younger generation within the main family, but he was still an important member of the Lei family.
Lei Yu recognized this person called Lei Tian. On a normal day, he was usually a smooth talker, often hanging around Lei Yun Tian to suck up to him, and his status in the family did carry some weight. But Lei Yu had always looked down on this person because his actions were no different from a henchman. As for his current cultivation rank, Lei Yu was not too clear on. After all, he had never seen the Lei family’s cultivating methods, did not know how their techniques worked, and also did not know how they advanced in rank.
Seeing Lei Yu frown, Ai Er with an apologetic face said: “I’m sorry brother Yu, I did not know someone of the Lei family would be here as well, you should know that if this was the case, then I will not have let you come.”
Lei Yu laughed a bit, “don’t worry about it.”
As both their eyes were on the stage, the host then said: “Without further adieu, we will begin the competition. In this competition, we will select the first, second, and third place. The top three will have a huge monetary bonus as a reward, and there’s a possibility that they will be selected to join either Dragon Group or Eagle Group as an elite soldier of these two powerful armies.
Once his words came out, the audience suddenly went into an uproar. This piece of information was really shocking to them since of all the armies Martial Sect controlled, the most powerful were Dragon Group, then followed by the Eagle Group. And the recruitment process for these two armies were extremely strict and harsh, even to unimaginable proportions. And now actually be able to be selected here and directly join them, how can people not be surprised?
Although both army’s military training were extremely harsh, they did receive good compensation for it. It can be said that belonging to those two armies were something a young passionate person would dream of.
A long table was pulled besides the stage, Governor Liu, Captain Zou, and Instructor Zhuang were then seated in order. And the Lei Tian who was introduced early on, began moving towards the back, it seems that he would be participating in this exchange of martial arts competition.
“I’m going to stop spouting useless words, let the competition begin. This competition is purely for exchanging pointers, friendship first, ranking second! Participants get ready.” Once the host stopped talking, from the door at the back of the hall walked out two young adults. They appeared to be the first round of participants for the competition. The both had a smile while getting onto the stage, clasping their hands together to greet each other, they then prepared for the fight.
