"I'm here. Lord Zhang, take a look. Of course, I also wish to participate in the Kingdom's selection. If possible, I'm willing to be your subordinate and listen to your teachings."
Lian Chengyu said respectfully.
Zhang Yuxian looked at Lian Chengyu, sizing him up.
"Oh? What's your cultivation level at? "
A Mortal Blood warrior was still at the body-tempering stage, so they trained in their flesh and blood skills. The five levels of Mortal Blood were differentiated by their bodies. It was difficult to tell if a person's meridians had been opened, or if their bones and tendons could make a sound.
Unless one's cultivation level was at the stage where they could release their spiritual energy, they could sense every inch of their opponent's flesh and blood. This was also known as "Opening Heaven's Eye". Only then could a Mortal Blood warrior's cultivation level be determined.
Obviously, Zhang Yuxian had not reached that level.
"Lord, I've reached the peak of the fifth level of Mortal Blood, Qi Gatherer. I'm just a step away from the Purple Blood realm!"
"Oh?" Zhang Yuxian's eyebrows twitched, "To be able to reach such a level in a small tribe in the vast wilderness with a lack of resources, you either have outstanding talent, or you have a fortuitous encounter. Either way, it's not bad!"
Zhang Yuxian nodded, "You can stay!"
"Thank you for the lord's appreciation!" Lian Chengyu said respectfully, but he was happy. He knew that it was only natural for him to pass Zhang Yuxian's test!
His goal was the Kingdom's selection. If he couldn't even pass the preliminaries, then there was no need to talk about his ambitions.
After choosing Lian Chengyu, Zhang Yuxian turned his head and looked at the members of the warrior preparation camp. He looked at them for half an incense's time, but he was slightly disappointed.
In the entire Lian tribal clan, other than Lian Chengyu, no one else caught his eye.
It seemed like he could only choose a few people from the dwarves.
Although the higher-ups had ordered him to choose thirty people, Zhang Yuxian had his own principles. He couldn't be bothered to teach those who were too bad.
"Is there no one else in your Lian tribal clan who plans on participating in the Kingdom's selection?"
Zhang Yuxian's gaze swept across the Lian tribal clan's commoners.
When they met Zhang Yuxian's gaze, these people became somewhat reserved. They also wanted to be taught a lesson by a legendary figure like Zhang Yuxian. However, they usually didn't have enough to eat, so how could they know martial arts? Even if they stood up to sign up, they would be rejected by Zhang Yuxian.
At that time, he would be the one asking for it, and the whole tribe would laugh at him for overestimating himself.
The crowd's reaction was within Lian Chengyu's expectations. He smiled and said, "My Lord, I've made a fool of myself. The tribe's martial artists are all standing here. As for the others, they're just commoners in the tribe. They're not very promising. They usually dig for food in the soil and are good at picking herbs in the mountains. As for martial arts, they're not cut out for it. My Lord, please don't mind these bumpkins.
Before Lian Chengyu could finish his words, a discordant voice rang out from the crowd. "Please make way …"
As he spoke, a teenager pulled a young girl out of the crowd.
Yi Yun had arrived late and was at the outermost layer of the crowd. He could not compare to the warrior preparation camp members who occupied the advantageous terrain.
"Yun-er, you …"
Before Jiang Xiaorou could understand what was happening, she was pulled by Yi Yun by the hand. After separating the last layer of the crowd, she could see where Yi Yun and her had walked to.
Jiang Xiaorou was stunned. This was the middle of the square!
Seeing Zhang Yuxian standing in front of her with the upper echelons of the Lian tribal clan, Jiang Xiaorou was at a loss.
But at this moment, Jiang Xiaorou felt Yi Yun suddenly release her hand. He continued walking forward until he was in front of all the members of the warrior preparation camp before stopping.
Jiang Xiaorou opened her mouth, but could not say a word.
As for Lian Chengyu, the smile on his face froze. The members of the warrior preparation camp were also dumbfounded!
Zhang Yuxian looked at Yi Yun in surprise and asked, "You want to sign up?"
"Yes, my Lord!" Yi Yun's voice was short but powerful.
The moment he said this, the crowd turned silent. Everyone looked at Yi Yun in disbelief.
Was this Yi Yun crazy?
He did not know how much he weighed. He looked like a chick and weighed less than eighty pounds. The strong men in the crowd who did not have the qualifications to sign up were all a hundred times stronger than him!
Besides, Yi Yun had never practiced martial arts. He had nearly fallen to his death while picking herbs. He could not even chop the desolate bones. Yet he wanted to sign up?
Those who were eager to sign up, but did not dare to do so, were furious when they saw the kid Yi Yun on stage.
"This kid is making trouble at this time. Does he not want to live?"
People could not help but be jealous of those courageous people, especially when they did something they did not have the courage to do. Now, the people of the Lian tribal clan were in such a situation.
"Yi Yun, you insolent slave. What kind of occasion is this? How dare you cause trouble here! Hurry up and scram for me! "
Lian Chengyu did not expect a fool like Yi Yun to do such a thing at such an important occasion.
Yi Yun was just a mischievous child. Even among mischievous children, he was the weakest. Yet, he dared to sign up for the selection. Wasn't he just making fun of Zhang Yuxian?
It was too embarrassing. It might even damage his image in Zhang Yuxian's eyes. Zhang Yuxian would think that he was incompetent in disciplining his tribesmen, for he could not even control a child.
Yi Yun glanced at Lian Chengyu. Yi Yun calmly replied to Lian Chengyu's scolding of him as a servant, "In the vast wilderness, those who are weak and are controlled by others are slaves. To put it bluntly, the weak are slaves. If I'm weak, then it's normal for others to scold me as a slave. I wouldn't dare to retort. But one day, when Young master Lian meets someone stronger, he might become a slave. What does Young master Lian think? "
Yi Yun's words made Lian Chengyu's expression change. He was furious. What's going on? A little slave from the tribe dared to speak to him in such a manner!?
If not for Zhang Yuxian, Lian Chengyu would have killed Yi Yun with a palm strike.
"The weak are slaves?" The corners of Zhang Yuxian's mouth curled up as he gave Yi Yun a surprised glance. "Interesting. You came from a small tribe in the wilderness, yet you have such insights. You are right. The weak being slaves is applicable to everyone. If there comes a day when I am controlled by a stronger person, even I will become a slave."
Upon hearing Zhang Yuxian's words, Yi Yun was stunned. He never expected that Zhang Yuxian would openly admit that he could be controlled by others. Although this calmness was not rare on important figures, it was rare for important figures to show such calmness in front of nobodies. It was because they disdained it.
Yi Yun was indeed surprised that Zhang Yuxian was so approachable.
Lian Chengyu's anger was stifled by Zhang Yuxian's words. Since a Jin Long Wei elite had admitted it, what else could he say!
But this did not mean that Lian Chengyu could tolerate Yi Yun's troublemaking. He said to Zhang Yuxian, "Lord Ambassador, this kid named Yi Yun is a lowly medicine boy of our Lian tribal clan. He has never practiced martial arts. He came here today purely to make fun of you. I'll throw him down. I hope Lord Ambassador can forgive me for not disciplining my tribesmen and making a fool of myself."
The reason why Lian Chengyu was so angry was not because he was worried that Yi Yun would challenge his position, but because Yi Yun had embarrassed him in front of Zhang Yuxian.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuxian did not mind. He pointed to a spot and said to Yi Yun, "You are an interesting kid. Stand over there. I'll see if you are suitable for martial arts."
Although Zhang Yuxian appreciated Yi Yun, he did not care too much. From his point of view, there were very few people in the vast wilderness who were suitable for martial arts. Since Yi Yun had the guts to stand forward, he would help Yi Yun test him.
Since Zhang Yuxian had spoken, Lian Chengyu could only glare at Yi Yun with a sullen face. He did not say another word.
"Thank you Lord."
Yi Yun thanked him in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. He stood beside the warrior preparation camp. Coincidentally, he was standing beside Zhao Tiezhu.
This was because Zhao Tiezhu was close to Lian Chengyu. He had become the leader of the warrior preparation camp and stood first in the team. So when Yi Yun went over, he naturally stood beside Zhao Tiezhu.
But now, it was Yi Yun who stood first.
Zhao Tiezhu was not annoyed by this. What a joke. With his status and strength, how could a little retard like Yi Yun compare with him?
In the future, he would enter the city and become a servant of a Kingdom Knight. Why bother with a retard?
"Little slave, you must be here to be funny."
Zhao Tiezhu had a mocking smile on his face. He was waiting to see Yi Yun make a fool of himself.
Yi Yun ignored him and stood silently with his hands behind his back.
