Chapter 31 (1/2)
Early dawn the next day
When the sun broke through the clouds and shone its light on the Tian Nan City’s general assembly, the entire scene came alive
The end of the year banquet, was finally about to begin!
This was the brilliant celebration collaboration of the arovern families competed over natural resources, a press conference for business people announcing new products or business strategies, a platfor achievements and new policies, and most of all, it was a dance floor when the youths could display their abilities
All in all, it was entertaining and lively For the citizens, not a single one could turn their attention away from the festivities
The drums and cries filled the air
Fresh flowers filled the sky
Countless people began cheering and shouting and whooping as one by one, the big nae
A group of ray ar by their sides They were each seated on top of their own cyan wolf, each wolf as big and unifor flapped in the air, filling the atmosphere with a chill
“Wolf Fang Mercenary!”
“The Ye clan is here!”
As the person leading the troop was a forty or fifty year old broadlyon his shoulders, a dark gold cloak His two eyebroere bushy and thick, giving people a sense that he see all the ti, the master of Tian Nan’s Ye clan
“The Du clan is here as well!”
“Master Du Zhen Tian!”
A few hundred warriors clad in red entered the scene Du clan was also one of the big name families in Tian Nan City, theirs was the do arenerations were talented and came in hordes They were not one to be belittled
The clan master Du Zhen Tian was a fifty or sixty year oldTian Nan City for decades, cultivating the Du clan from a tiny family into a first-rate clan This was no small matter!
“General Xiong Bing!”
“Nan Guan Yi City Mayor!”
“Alche Yun!”
“Talis!”
“”
Each person who appeared seemed more powerful than the next!
The cheers of thousands of people didn’t seem to stop, and to say the atmosphere was lively was an understatement
Suddenly, Meng Qing Wu brought the people fro Wu, there were only two or three people They looked positively shabby next to the vigorous clans The juxtaposition was so ludicrously obvious that people began to snidely comment
“Hahaha, South Cloud Co?”
“The trading company isn’t even sure about its future, did she co to embarrass herself?”
“Yeah, the South Cloud Pharo under, South Cloud talismans are about to stop production… it’s acompany itself!”
“”
A business center that was already unsustainable, that had already descended the ranks of second or third-rate products, that was so poor it al themselves… it was only a matter of time before they had to close up shop
And they dared attend this grandto be humiliated!
After the various activities and ceremonies
The suin!
As in previous years, the first activity was the Su Competition!
In a world where instability and violence were the north was always the most valued asset
The only factor of whether a clan could survive and thrive, was based entirely on its sufficient and independent ability to take challenges in stride This kind of coe for those with abilities raring to be discovered
Of course, it wasn’t as if one couldon reputation Talent didn’t always have to be put on such prominent display Every clan rushed to join each year, as if it were their lifeline in the ocean This was definitely not for the entertainment of the citizens of Tian Nan City This had a specialof natural resources
Tian Nan City was surrounded by an abundance of ownerless forests, ore mines, and efficacious fields
That which no one clai ownershi+p of people
Around a decade ago, in the competition for land, Tian Nan City had been thrown into anarchy Each big clan participated in open clash and conflict, while s to back off, and they didn’t want others to profit Tens of wars of s in many dead and injured As the dead bodies piled up, no one benefitted, since the natural resources remained untouched and uncultivated
People finally realized that co for top place in a brothel Even if theyto it, and that only peace begat wealth
So, what then?
The Su Competition!
Was this not a fair way to re-partition natural resources?
Once a year, everyone had a chance, whether a big clan or a small family Whoever failed this year, could look forward to the next It didn’tas there were one or two youths who had the lucky fortune to becoth
Even though the youth being constantly injured during the race was nor all the clans
In order to circumvent bloodshed, for the youth to have a platfornize the latest talents, why not? And so, with the governned a secret deal,Co of natural resources
This tradition had been upheld for ten or so years
Chu Tian was co had
For Chu Tian, the Su was an adrenaline rush, an experience of life… as well as a revenge upon Xue Hen!
Under the guidance of a white haired little old man, Chu Tian and 200 other youth came to a little wooden hut
Chu Tian had just retrieved his own nameplate when a nettlesome voice drifted into his ear “Ha, even the lowest of lowlifes are joining the Big Co down the quality of it”
Chu Tian didn’t have to look to see who had spoken “Well, if some cuckolds froh to begin with”
“I kno can you pretend to be so secure and colimmer of a threat “You should know your place Ye clan can kill you without even batting an eyelash”
Actually, what I want to know is, why are you acting so stuck up?
Chu Tian shrugged his shoulders “Rotten life, if you want it, take it”
“Huh, I changed my mind” Ye Han put on a cruel smile “I will do it in front of all of the citizens of the Tian Nan I will tear your bones froh this way that I will let everyone understand, this is the price to pay for offending the Ye clan I will let everyone understand, that this is the conclusion of you, Chu Tian”
Chu Tian laughed “Is that so?”
Ye Han swivelled around to announce to a group of youths behind hiuy is mine Anyone who dares beat him in the eliret it”
Two hundred or so youths received this neith alarm
How arrogant!
Absolutely tyrannical!
He actually announced to all present that others couldn’t beat Chu Tian
“Don’t worry, I’ll give you a chance,” Chu Tian said, as if he was disengaged from the entire matter “If you’re done, shoo”
