Ch 47: Day Of The Competition
Ch 47: Day Of The Competition
Today was the day of competition.
Ye Xiao got up from his bed and washed himself before gong down and ordered some food to eat.
This time, there was not a single person present in the inn beside him. The whole inn was as quite as it could be. When the attendant came with the ordered food to serve Ye Xiao, he asked, "Did something happen? There is not a single person here."
"Sir, not only in this inn, you can not find any person in any other inn and restaurant as well. Today, you'll find even the roads lacking its buzzle because of the lack of people. Today is the day of competition and every one has already headed toward the competition ground to watch the fight of geniuses." The attendant replied him with a soft tone.
"Oh!, so why are you still here. Do you not want to go?" Ye Xiao suddenly realized the truth and asked again about the attendant.
"I also want to go but there is no one now beside me in the inn and boss told me to stay here. So, even if I want to, I can't go." A bitter smile could be seen on the face of the attendant.
"That's sad. Well, the food nicely made. Thanks for the food. Here is the money for food." Ye Xiao smiled at him, paid the bill of the food he. Then he stood up and walked toward the door. But before reaching there, he stopped again and turned back.
"Ah! listen."
"Yes sir, do you need any other thing." The attendant said.
"No, I don't need anything. Here catch it." Ye Xiao smiled, turned again and walked passed the door of the inn and said, "That is your tip."
That attendant caught the thing on the air that Ye Xiao bounced in the air with his thumb. And the moment he saw what it was, his breath stopped for a moment and the heart beat fasten. Because what was in his hand was like more than half an year's worth of his wage for him.
A gold coin.
Even though it is only a single gold coin for rich people but for a poor people like the attendant, it was a huge wealth.
A pleasant smile grew in his face.
...
Ye Xiao reached the competition ground. This place had been filled with people and was now very lively. There were people dressed poorly as well as people dressed in all sort of beautiful cloths. They were the candidates participating in this competition.
Ye Xiao realizes that each and every one resent here was at least at the First Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. There were even few streams of auras mixed within amongst them which gave him a strong sense of threat.
However, those people had intentionally concealed their strength as they did not wan to reveal their strength this early even before the start of the competition.
Ye Xiao was able to sense those auras because after the Heavenly Pearl merged with him, his perception and senses became at least double strong from before.
Ye Xiao secretly nodded his head in amazement.
This was really an assemblage of outstanding talents across the entire Azure Dragon Country.
Who does not want to enter the five great sects and the Imperial Family to cultivate.
Although Ye Xiao had already understand this thing but at this time, he once again realizes seeing these many experts here that it was still too soon for him to call himself a genius.
Interesting.
He doesn't know why but the more challenging it was, the more interesting and happier his heart become.
If he can dominate over all of these geniuses, how amazing that would be.
But he knew, with his current strength, it is impossible for him to achieve what his heart sought.
The path of cultivation broke the shackles of the human's body, giving a mere mortal a chance to change his fate to achieve greatness which defied the heavens.
If one didn't advance valiantly, how could they continue to progress forward.
The greater the challenge, the more excited Ye Xiao felt. And the reason for that, even Ye Xiao himself doesn't know. Maybe, it was something to do with the Heavenly Pearl.
He just know that right now, he was feeling very excited.
Powerful opponents would be able to stimulate him to grow more rapidly.
As he was looking at everyone, everyone was also looking at everyone around them.
He heard many people's conversations well.
"Do you see him? he is Feng Lin. A genius of the Feng Family. He is only seventeen years old now and already possess the cultivation of the Seventh Stage of the Q Condensation Realm."
A young man beside Ye Xiao pointed in front of him. Ye Xiao also looked there and saw a handsome young man with a folding fan in his hand standing, surrounded by many young and beautiful girls around him.
"Look at that beautiful girl. She is Lu Li." Another man pointed at a young girl who was very beautiful, only inferior to Zhao Yufei that Ye Xiao knows.
"Yes, I heard that she inherited the legacy of a martial artist at the peak of the Martial King Realm and she is also at the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. She is only sixteen this year."
"Look Xu Qing is here. Oh my god, I think he will definitely be on the top three and maybe he can even achieve the second rank in this competition."
"Yes, you are right. After all he is already at the Eighth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, only slightly inferior to Lin Hao who is at the Ninth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm." Another man pointed at a robust looking young man who was standing alone as if he did not belong here.
