Chapter 519 - The Selection of the Three Platoons (1/2)

The rest of the geniuses were relieved after seeing this.

Even though they had worn disdainful expressions while looking at Qin Nan, unlike Shi Kai, they had not verbally mocked him. Otherwise, they would be extremely regretful after knowing Qin Nan’s identity.

Xiao Qi wore a wry smile and said, “Friend, you’ve completely tricked me…”

If Qin Nan were to unveil his identity beforehand, he would have immediately kicked Shi Kai out of the place. Furthermore, he would not hesitate to give Qin Nan a badge.

That being said, Xiao Qi had no idea that he had been the one that had interrupted Qin Nan when he was about to unveil his identity.

“My name is Duan Qing. Is it possible for Mr. Xiao Qi to give me a badge now?” Qin Nan brought his fists together and said.

“My friend Duan Qing, as someone from the Vermilion Bird Platoon, you don’t require a badge to enter White Tiger City.” Xiao Qi spoke in a slightly awkward tone.

“I see…” Qin Nan mumbled to himself, before he recalled Shi Kai’s words and asked, “Mr. Xiao Qi, could you explain the Selection of the Three Platoons?”

“The Selection of the Three Platoons? Are you planning to participate in it still?” Xiao Qi was dumbstruck by the words.

The others were left in awe too.

Was he planning to join the White Tiger Platoon instead?

Everyone knew that the Vermilion Bird Platoon was not weaker than the White Tiger Platoon in terms of power. It was only ranked second as the platoon only recruited lesser disciples each year.

Although Xiao Qi was quite confused, he swiftly answered, “The Selection of the Three Platoons is fairly simple. The participants will enter White Tiger City to take part in it, and will be selected by the inspectors of the three platoons. The selection will be taking place tomorrow in White Tiger City.”

Qin Nan soon came to a realization. The selection was similar to the selection of the two Sacred Areas that he had taken part in before.

“I’m not sure if I’m joining the Vermilion Bird Platoon yet. It’s better to take a look at the selection tomorrow.”

Qin Nan made up his mind.

Xiao Qi observed Qin Nan’s reaction and asked, “How about this; Duan Qing, let’s stay at the Leisure Inn for the night and I’ll bring you to the selection tomorrow. What do you think?”

“That would be great.” Qin Nan brought his fists together. He was still unfamiliar with White Tiger City, thus it would be helpful if Xiao Qi were willing to guide him around.

The feast then continued following this. The woman whom Longhu was quite interested in even started a conversation with Qin Nan a few times, causing Longhu to feel dull. Furthermore, Xiao Qi even gave Qin Nan a hundred jars of Fiery Spirit Wine as compensation, leaving Qin Nan speechless.

After the feast ended, Qin Nan stayed at the inn for the night, before heading to White Tiger City the following morning under Xiao Qi’s lead.

No one was allowed to fly in the area within fifty li of White Tiger City, thus the crowd proceeded to the entrance of the city by foot. As they arrived, their eyes were filled with astonishment.

The appearance of the entrance was absolutely imperious. It was entirely covered in black with a giant nail at the top. The middle of the entrance had the words ‘White Tiger City’ written in an inelegant manner, while below the words hung a ten-zhang long dragon head.

After presenting their badges, the crew entered the city. Even Qin Nan was astounded looking at the sight before him.

The streets of White Tiger City spread out in all directions, with countless unique-styled palaces standing firmly along them. In the midst of them was a giant golden palace surrounded by buildings in the middle, resulting in an eye-catching sight. Even when looking from a distance far away, one could feel the powerful suppression of an emperor from the golden palace.

Furthermore, the entire White Tiger City was completely crowded with people, resulting in a lively scene. Most of them were Martial Dominator Realm experts, and it was very easy to see Martial Highness Realm experts as well.

Not a single Martial Ancestor Realm cultivator could be seen.

“The number of cultivators here is unimaginable, as if the experts of the entire upper district have gathered here. Besides, this city is the royal city of the kingdom without a doubt!”
