Pink smoke bombs exploded in the sky above the King's City … Ji Lian could vaguely hear some noises coming from outside. Counting the days, today should be the first day of the National Competition in Cairo.
It was just that living in the most luxurious house in the guards division was like living in a palace. Except for the servants who brought food, the only person Ji Lian could contact was the Peace Between Man And Nature.
However, the Peace Between Man And Nature had not appeared since the last time he came.
"It looks so lively … I also want to join in the fun."
After all, he was still a teenager, and the time he had to really be quiet was quite little. The prosperity of the human world was actually reaching out to this teenager who was actually under house arrest.
"You are Ji Lian?"
But at this moment, a man with a cold face appeared in front of the door … This was not the servant in charge of delivering food. Ji Lian could not help but frown when he saw this person for the first time.
"Who … are you?"
The man with a cold face said indifferently, "Come with me, someone wants to see you."
"Who?"
"You will know when you get there." The man with a cold face stretched out his hand, "Please!"
Inside the guards division, Ji Lian knew he had no ability to resist at all. At this moment, he could only let it be … But if it was the Peace Between Man And Nature who came to see him, he should not have done this.
"I don't know what the Peace Between Man And Nature is doing?" Ji Lian said intentionally or unintentionally, "Yesterday he said he would come to chat with me."
The man with a cold face said indifferently, "I don't know if he promised you or not, but he will not come back to see you today … Cut the crap."
With that, the man with a cold face directly pushed Ji Lian's back, as if he was escorting a prisoner.
— Damn, he said he had a high status in the guards division … Look, this iceberg did not give him any face at all.
…
A moment later, Ji Lian followed the cold-faced man to a pavilion.
What he didn't expect was that the guards division actually occupied a much larger area than he had imagined. He actually saw a small lake here.
The pavilion was in the center of the lake, and there was only a stone bridge that led to it … The cold-faced man stood at the edge of the lake and signaled Ji Lian to walk towards the pavilion in the center of the lake alone.
Ji Lian hesitated for a moment, but seeing that there seemed to be a person waiting at the pavilion in the center of the lake, she could only carefully walk over.
When he arrived at the pavilion, he saw a man with white hair on his temples but a rosy complexion. He was wiping his sword with the lake water.
The man wiping the sword did not speak, nor did he look up at him.
Ji Lian saw the cold light of the long sword in the man's hand and couldn't help but praise, "This is a good sword."
The man stopped. "You know swords?"
Ji Lian shook his head, "I don't know much about swords, but I have seen a lot of weapons, so I can still distinguish between good and bad ones … Although this sword is hidden, it vaguely reveals a trace of cold light, like the cold moon. Under the sunlight, there is a trace of red light. It must be a real weapon that once drank blood."
"It hasn't been stained with blood for almost ten years." The man smiled and put the sword down, "All these years, I insisted on using the water in this lake to wash away the murderous aura on it, but it hasn't been completely washed away."
How many people has it killed … Ji Lian could not help but be secretly shocked.
Although he did not like being a craftsman, and his father's attitude towards him was almost free-spirited, never forcing him to learn any weapon forging techniques, he had grown up in a weapons shop since he was young. He was influenced by what he saw and heard, so he could be considered an insider.
"Sir … Sir, why did you invite me here?" Ji Lian could only ask tentatively.
"I just want to see you." The man smiled, "Don't be nervous. We won't be chatting for long. Quark will send you back later."
"Quark …" Ji Lian subconsciously turned around to take a look.
The cold-faced man by the lake was holding his sword, standing motionlessly with his eyes closed.
"Quark is half a student of mine." The man said casually, "He has been with me for a long time, even before Peace Between Man And Nature. However, his talent is not as high as Peace Between Man And Nature, but he wins in hard work. Among the younger generation, there are few who can match him."
"Lord Peace Between Man And Nature … Your student?" Ji Lian seemed to have realized something and blurted out, "Could it be … Could it be that you are?"
"My name is Li Youlo," the man, the Kingdom's Sword Saint, said with a smile.
"Lord … Lord Sword Saint!" Ji Lian could not remain calm. In his more than ten years of life, this was the person with the highest status he had ever seen … Moreover, he was the Kingdom's Sword Saint that was praised throughout the continent.
The people said that this Lord Sword Saint was the Kingdom's pillar of protection … In the early years, he had followed King Amos to war all over the world. Many Saints from other countries had died in the hands of this Kingdom's Sword Saint!
"You and Peace Between Man And Nature are of the same race." Sword Saint Li Youlo said coldly, "No need to be so polite. You can call me teacher like him."
"This …" Ji Lian was startled at first, thinking that this kind of relationship was not enough to call him teacher … But he suddenly realized that this Lord Sword Saint already knew that he was from the Highlands?
"You look a bit like an old friend of mine." Sword Saint Li Youlo said slowly, "I once promised him that I would take good care of his descendants. I heard that your adoptive father, Max, is already dead. In the coming days, you can stay in the guards division … You will be very safe here with me. "
Ji Lian opened his mouth and was about to say something.
Sword Saint Li Youlo suddenly threw the sword that he had just finished wiping to Ji Lian. Ji Lian could only grab the sword in a panic.
"You have never practiced swordsmanship before?" Li Youlo asked curiously.
Ji Lian subconsciously shook his head, "Dad has always been against me going to the swordsmanship club to learn. He always said that learning was useless."
Sword Saint Li Youlo chuckled, "From today onwards, I will teach you swordsmanship."
“？？？” Ji Lian said, "Isn't it too late to learn now? The instructor of the swordsmanship club said that the best age to learn swordsmanship is from the age of ten …"
"It's not too late." Sword Saint Li Youlo said indifferently, "As long as you have the heart, it won't be too late even if you are thirty or forty years old. Moreover, you are from the Highlands … As long as you are from the Highlands, it won't be too late. "
With that, Sword Saint Li Youlo suddenly reached out and grabbed Ji Lian before he could react. Then, he pulled Ji Lian directly into the lake.
Ji Lian was shocked. He thought that he would be swallowed by the lake water, but he found that after falling into the water, the lake water could not get close to him at all … He saw that there was a layer of strange light protecting him and Sword Saint.
They sank all the way until they landed at the bottom of the lake … Ji Lian actually saw a dense array of swords at the bottom of the lake!
These swords were of different styles. Some were mottled, some were broken, and some were still glowing — the bottom of the lake was like a tomb for swords.
"Here?"
"I call it the Sword Tomb at the bottom of the lake." Sword Saint Li Youlo said slowly, "The masters of the swords buried here were all defeated by me … Every time I kill a swordsman, I will throw his sword into the lake."
"To … to commemorate those people?"
"On one hand," Li Youlo said casually, "On the other hand, it is to feed something."
With that, Sword Saint Li Youlo waved his hand instantly and a sword light slashed out. The Sword Tomb at the bottom of the lake directly split open at this moment. A dark red blood light shot out from the crack, and in this blood light, a green longsword could be vaguely seen.
The moment Ji Lian noticed the cyan sword, he saw that the place where the blade and hilt of the cyan sword met had actually split open … At the place where the sword had split open, a dark red eye had shockingly appeared!
"What is this!" Ji Lian was shocked.
"Sword Soul Beast." Sword Saint Li Youlo said slowly, "Under the heaven and earth, there are many strange beasts … Some will take the appearance of the familiar devil beasts, but some will take the form of a devil beast, a beast or a weapon. A few years ago, I obtained a dying sword soul beast and placed it here. I kept feeding it all kinds of broken swords containing the will of the swordsman. Finally, it gave birth to two cubs … And they have already matured for a long time. "
With that, without waiting for Ji Lian's reaction, Sword Saint Li Youlo stretched out his hand and grabbed the green sword soul beast in the crack. At the same time, he used his finger to cut open the sleeve on Ji Lian's arm.
"You are a highlander, you have the purest highland bloodline in your body. You can control all the beasts in the world." Sword Saint Li Youlo said solemnly, "This sword soul beast will fuse into your body and become the foundation of your sword dao … You will have unparalleled sword dao knowledge."
"Wait … wait! Wait … "
At this moment, Sword Saint Li Youluo had already stabbed the swordsoul beast into Ji Lian's arm … A blood mark instantly appeared on his arm. Rather than saying that the swordsoul beast had stabbed into his arm, it would be more accurate to say that the swordsoul beast was being devoured by the blood mark.
A huge impact was surging in his mind. His consciousness was instantly drowned by this huge impact.
At the bottom of the lake, Ji Lian had already escaped from the protective shield released by the Sword Saint … But his body continued to release waves of sword light, completely isolating the lake water.
Looking at Ji Lian, Sword Saint Li Youlo muttered, "This progress is even faster than the Peace Between Man And Nature …"
…
…
Apart from the imperial guards, all the guards were mobilized to maintain order at the opening of the tournament.
But even so, there were still endless fights and trampling happening in the boiling scene … This was simply a hellish challenge for the entire defense system of the Royal Capital.
"Sir! So you were here! I've been looking for you for a long time! "
On a tall building next to the National Square, the subordinates of the guards finally found the Second Seat sitting on the roof of someone's house, enjoying the scenery and eating buns.
"What's the matter?"
The head of the Peace Between Man And Nature seemed to have emptied his mind.
"We're too busy." The subordinate anxiously said, "The tournament hasn't officially started yet. His Majesty's troops are about to enter, but the chaos still hasn't calmed down … Those imperial guards are now arresting anyone they see. Many innocent civilians have been implicated."
The head of the Peace Between Man And Nature yawned and said, "This is a free country. What good method do we have to drive them away … Depriving the people of their freedom will only bring trouble to ourselves. If you don't let the people participate in the tournament, they will go crazy. At that time, I'm afraid even the garrison troops will have to enter — Of course, the premise is that they can cross the Dragon Emperor Barrier. Haha, when enough people are injured or killed, they will be obedient. "
"Sir! Now is not the time for jokes! "
The head of the Peace Between Man And Nature brushed his ears and stood up. "Now is not the time for jokes. I should enter the tournament."
"Enter … what do you mean?" The subordinate subconsciously asked.
"Enter the tournament, of course." The head of the Peace Between Man And Nature said matter-of-factly, "This is a tournament that gathers young masters from all over the country. Without me, what's there to see?"
"Sir … Sir?"
The head of the Peace Between Man And Nature had already leaped into the air and landed in the center of the venue like an eagle spreading its wings.
…
…
Soon, King Amos was escorted to the venue of the tournament. However, the king just said a few words and left directly. He didn't intend to watch the rest of the tournament.
This was only the first day of the elimination tournament. For many people who were looking for talents at this time, it was not a good time.
At the very least, the competition for the top 100 was something that the nobles began to look forward to.
But for the general public, even if it was just an elimination tournament, it was still a grand event worth watching … because this tournament did not forbid killing.
You could defeat your opponent and make him surrender. At the same time, you could not accept the surrender and directly kill your opponent on the field.
"Got it, the number certificate for the tournament … This is your Mr. Luo." Nan Xiaonan squeezed through the crowd at this time. "If we keep winning, it will take at least a dozen rounds to enter the elimination tournament tomorrow … After all, there are so many participants."
Boss Luo didn't care. He just smiled and put away the certificate.
Nan Xiaonan shrugged and had to look indifferent. But at this time, the crowd began to stir.
"Go away! Go away! I am a seeded player recommended by the general. I don't need to participate in the elimination tournament. Go away, I want to observe the qualifications of this year's contestants … What kind of contestants are these? They are as thin as monkeys. Can they even hold weapons? Go away! "
At this time, a muscular swordsman with a big sword on his back was rudely pushing people away from the crowd.
Pushing and shoving.
Seeing that the crowd was about to reach where she was standing … Nan Xiaonan rolled her eyes and shouted loudly to the contestants beside her to not push and shove her way towards Boss Luo.
"Aiyaya, it's so crowded! Mr. Luo, it's so crowded! Let's go over there first … It's so crowded. "
Squeeze … Nan Xiaonan suddenly blinked her eyes. She did squeeze, but she was squeezed out by the crowd.
— What a waste of such a good opportunity!
Nan Xiaonan shook her head. At this time, Boss Luo was also pushed out by the crowd. Nan Xiaonan quickly walked up to Boss Luo. But at this time, Boss Luo bent down and picked up something from the ground.
"What is this?"
"The tall swordsman dropped something on the ground." Boss Luo picked up the thing and found that it was a token.
"Hey, this is the certificate of a seeded player!" A warrior in the crowd exclaimed.
In an instant, the crowd suddenly quieted down … Everyone squeezed harder, squeezing until there was an empty space.
"He is a seeded player!"
