Chapter 8 – Fighter Selection

Translated by: FourTimesTwo

Sorry for the last post. Maybe there’s only 1 more post (or maybe 2) for this week as I have preparations to do for Vesak Day this week. In the meantime, I’ll also edit and try to improve the quality of previous chapters. The pace should be back to normal next week.

By the way, I’m looking for editors. If anyone is proficient in English and willing to help, please email me at [email protected]/* */

“Childe, what you mean……” An elderly sat inside a carriage with a confused look.

A hundred or so years ago, Lin Family had numerous hunting squad warriors. During their glory days, they could be counted as the half the sky of Stone Swallow Village. However, they had declined now. Other than the matter concerning Lin Hao, he couldn’t think of other things regarding Lin Family which were worth of Childe’s concern.

He knew the existences of those stone inscriptions. Though they were precious to ordinary people, they were worthless to Zhu Mingyu as he didn’t lack fighter blood congealment techniques. The Violet Heart Arts he trained in was much superior to those stone inscriptions.

“His warning has indeed made me angry. However, if I were to bicker with a waste, how am I different from him?”

Zhu Mingyu smiled indifferently, then took a bite at an apple, “But, do you know why Heavenly Eagle Tribe wants so many swords this time?”

The elderly was stumped for words.

“Why is that?”

The topic went for an unexpected turn that he inadvertently straightened his body and became serious.

The matter about Lin Hao wasn’t much, but this was something big!

The task a.s.signed by Heavenly Eagle Tribe this time was heavy, but the rewards were similarly astonis.h.i.+ng. They included a chance of partic.i.p.ating in fighter selection!

This didn’t conform to common sense!

Fighter selection; a selection held by some large sects in w.a.n.g City to recruit talents. A desolate area like Stone Swallow Village only had one chance to partic.i.p.ate every ten years. Moreover, the quota was pathetically meager.

Quota alone, Heavenly Eagle Tribe only had that very much. Stone Swallow Village didn’t even have the qualification to partic.i.p.ate.

“Because Heavenly Eagle Tribe has refined an Origin sword, a real Origin weapon.”

Zhu Mingyu took another bite of the apple on his hand and continued, “They need ten thousand swords as offerings so that the heavenly sword will be perfected. Afterward, they will gift it to a genius in the tribe. As far as I know, the quota for this selection is only one.”

“WHAT? Only one?!”

Hearing this, the elderly’s complexion abruptly changed. He even stood up from the shock. Though the quota from previous years wasn’t much, it was never this meager.

He originally thought that as long as they obtained the chance to partic.i.p.ate, with Childe Zhu partic.i.p.ating, even if he couldn’t take the first place, he could at least secure a quota. But he never expected that the situation was like this!

“Could it be……” The elderly’s complexion paled as he squirmed.

“That’s right.”

Zhu Mingyu smiled, “Actually, the fighter selection is merely a pretense. They never intended to give us a chance. The genius of their tribe along with the Origin sword is unrivaled. Letting us enter the stage is merely for their entertainment.”

“So that’s how it is……”

Hearing this, the elderly sat down like a lost soul.

Though Childe Zhu was powerful, the other party was the genius of a tribe who had the a.s.sistance of an Origin sword. Though he believed that Childe Zhu was unrivaled, it was impossible for him to win against the other party. But if they lost this chance, when could Stone Swallow Village walk out of this desolate area……

Ten years. Would the village able to produce a genius like Childe Zhu again after ten years?

Even if it did, would Heavenly Eagle Tribe give them a chance again?

“But…… if he were to enter the stage with Origin sword yet lost?” At this time, Zhu Mingyu smiled and continued. A light flickered in his eyes.

“Im……”
