Chapter 115 – Chosen Ones

The two leaders were caught in a deadlock in the air. One of them gave off an overbearing, violent presence while the other’s Qi felt nimble and as light as a breeze.

“They are from Tri-Sol?! No wonder why they are so arrogant. They ranked number seven last year! That red-haired man is their vice-principal, and he is a famous seven-star condensed prime Warrior in this outer region with thirty-six cities! See his red hair? How could I not realize earlier?” Mu Feng whispered to the others.

“I never knew the vice-principal was so strong. He never showed his abilities before… He is actually standing his ground while facing a seven-star condensed prime Warrior, and I would even say he has a slight advantage!”

‘How did he just…’ All the South Star students were shocked while they admired the presence of each and every one of Tri-Solar School’s representatives. They were also curious about why the vice-principal kept such a low profile, and they wondered what else he was hiding.

“Who are God’s Seven Children?” Cao Ning whispered.

“They are the seven strongest cultivators under the age of twenty in our province. The holder of this title cycled through the years, but the quality and strength of them remained high. They were all geniuses in their own rights and will always be…” Chen Mo answered. “And the cultivator in Tri-Solar who is honored with the title is called Shi Hun Tian.”

The eyes of South Star’s cultivators naturally fell on the striking young cultivators next to Shi Xiaoran. One of them, in particular, caught their attention as he was handsome and tall. The primal feather wings behind his back were twice as larger than the others’.

Feeling their gaze, he stared back at the South Star cultivators, and all of them, even Liu Jian and Chen Mo, were intimidated by his fearsome presence. It was at this point when most of the South Star cultivators decided they would not try to win against Tri-Solar School. That they should do what was necessary to protect themselves, and perhaps lose valiantly.

“God’s Seven Children?” Ye Wei’s eyes lit up as mumbled to himself feeling curious and competitive about the level of strength behinds this seemingly prestigious title. ‘I will have to beat them at some point if I want to go further…’

Chen Mo continued. “Shi Hun Tian is the latest addition, and he is ranked last out of the seven.”

Shi Hun Tian scanned around, and his cold gaze stopped on Ye Wei. “I hope you will be able to entertain me in this year’s tournament!”

Liu Jian, Chen Mo, and the rest were enraged by Shi’s disregard for them, and they all ground their teeth and clenched their fists.

Shi Xiaoran was known for his rash temperament. He did not feel the need to tone down his attitude because Xu He was stronger than him. “We have five cultivators who are seven-star at the Warrior level or above. The worst one of us is a four-star Warrior, and even he knew one of our cultivators was a God’s Child!” He pointed at Chen Mo and said.

“Let’s see what you have here… Only two seven-star Warriors and you brought a one-star Warrior along too! Is this really your best? And that kid over there, does he even know how to spell ‘Qi’? Oh wait, is he one of your relatives you brought here so he can see the big city?” Shi Xianran then pointed at Ye Wei.

“Hahaha! Last year you guys couldn’t even get in top ten in the first stage. I guess history indeed has a way of repeating itself! It was fun at the inter-state stage last year; it’s a shame that you and your school will never get to compete on a stage larger than the provincial fights! I feel bad for you having to lead a group like this.” He shook his head and said in an irritated tone.

Xu He was not angry because he knew from years back that Shi Xianran was a mouthy person. He smiled and said: “It’s too early to brag, you should just focus on keeping the rank you achieved last year. I certainly hope that kid doesn’t lose his title as there are a lot of powerful contestants this year!”

“Haha, someone is confident! I will see if you can be this calm in a week’s time!” Shi Xianran went back into the golden runicle with his team and drove off.

Just when Xu He told his team to return to their runicle, a sharpness tore a hole in reality as mighty sword Qi fell from the sky. It created a vertical vacuum on its path.

The whole South Star team was shocked, and they all had their guard up as they observed.

A purple robed elderly man with an old sword on his back descended from the sky and next to him was a boy that looked no older than sixteen.

The teen had delicate facial features, and he was dressed in simple clothes which gave off a sharp pulsing force similar to a fine, aged blade. There was a metallic glow around him which twinkled in a mysterious way.

“Zhoutian Sword School, Jian Shi Yu!” Xu He’s pupils dilated. “Greetings master!” There was fear in the vice-principal’s eyes.
