Jadewitch sat at the side, holding a beast-head wine cup."Perhaps Ji Yichuan wanted his son to give it a try in advance. After all, even if he failed, Ji Ning would still be able to give it another try four years later.”
Lee nodded.
"They have two chances, but we can't lose even once.”Lee revealed a smile." Thankfully, I adopted Grizzly back then.”
"Bring Grizzly to me!" Lee said to his servant.”
"Yes, Master." The Barefooted Maid Bowed and retreated Go down.
A moment later, a tall young man wearing golden fur strode in. This young man had a strong aura. His face was covered with a layer of golden fur, and his eyes were faintly golden. Unlike ordinary people, he carried a black straight saber on his back at all times.
He walked in with large strides…and at first glance, he looked like a lean golden-furred bear in human form. Although he was only thirteen years old, he was much taller than even Lee.
"Father." Grizzly called out respectfully.
"Grizzly." Lee looked at his adopted son and nodded in satisfaction." The Ceremony of the Golden Sword is held once every four years. I'll arrange for someone to register your name for the Ceremony of the Golden Sword. I only have one request…to obtain the golden sword!”
"Yes." Grizzly's voice was deep and deep.
"Yes." Lee nodded in satisfaction. He had adopted many children, but very few of them had satisfied him. Grizzly was one of them whom he was extremely satisfied with. He was completely confident that Grizzly would be able to participate in the Ceremony of the Golden Sword and obstruct Ning.
"This time, the one you need to be careful of is the only son of the Raindrop Sword, Ji Yichuan…Ji Ning! Although he has never truly experienced life and death battles, he still trains in the most supreme techniques and absolute arts of our Ji clan. I'll Teach You One Against Seven? Although it was also a top-tier technique, it was still slightly inferior to his.”
Grizzly nodded.
He understood that he was just an adopted son. As for Ji Ning? But the only son of the Raindrop Sword, Ji Yichuan, was the most likely successor to the Manor Head position. The difference in status between the two was simply too great. Ning could easily acquire the most supreme techniques of the Ji clan, but as an adopted son, he couldn't possibly acquire the most powerful techniques of a clan.
"In addition, Ji Ning just reached the level of one with the sword this year.”Lee looked at his foster son." You can't be careless.”
"I will definitely win." Grizzly said in a low voice.
******
The Ceremony of the Golden Sword began!
A large number of youths from the lower levels of the tribe continued to fight. One by one, the youths were eliminated, and the stronger ones remained. After more than a month of fighting, the eight strongest youths were finally selected. To be more precise…seven youths had been chosen, and the last one was Ji Ning, who had been chosen to be in the top eight without even going through a competition!
Ji Ning was the only son of the Raindrop Sword, Ji Yichuan! The genius youth of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture.
According to what the Ji clan of the West Prefecture had said to the public, Ning was very powerful. There was no need for him to participate in the lower level competition, and he was able to directly obtain a spot in the top eight.
Anger?
Unfair?
"Hmph. On the final day, when we meet the other seven opponents, this Ji Ning will definitely lose miserably.”
"Truly unscrupulous!"
"Shame on the Ji clan!"
A few of the tribal youths were muttering to themselves. As for the news that Ning had already reached the level of becoming one with the sword…very, very few of the tribal youths knew about it.
……
"Hua hua hua ~~~" The battle flag fluttered.
The howling cold wind could not extinguish the fire in the hearts of countless people, because today was the last day of the Ceremony of the Golden Sword!
In the middle of the vast training grounds of the Martial Arts Hall was an enormous dueling platform. Below the platform stood eight tribal youths, one of whom was the fur-clad Ji Ning. Even further out were large numbers of black armored guards surrounding the Coliseum, preventing the tens of thousands of tribal youths and citizens of the West Prefecture City who had gathered to watch the battle from taking a single step forward.
"He's here."
"The Xiantian lifeforms have arrived."
The tens of thousands of spectators who had gathered were all excited. The Ceremony of the Golden Sword had lasted for so many days. Usually, there would not be so many spectators. Only today was special! Because today was the last day of the Ceremony of the Golden Sword, the final eight would have a final competition to select the strongest person to win the golden sword.
On the final day of the Ceremony of the Golden Sword, many legendary Xiantian lifeforms would come to watch the battle!
"The one riding the long-necked beast is the Heavenly Fire Hammer.”
"That person riding a white tiger is the number one sharpshooter of our Ji clan of the West Prefecture!”
"That, that's the Fire God, Ji Lie!"
"Look, the Water Drop sword! The one with the large, snow-white dog by his side was the Raindrop Sword, Ji Yichuan! The snowy white dog by his side was none other than the Xiantian lifeform, the Godbeast, the Whitewater Hound.”
"Prefecture Master!"
"Prefecture Lord Young has also appeared."
"Why are there so many Xiantian lifeforms? Too many."
"So many Xiantian lifeforms!"
……
There was an uproar and madness.
The Ceremony of the Golden Sword was held once every four years, after all. Generally speaking, only a few Xiantian lifeforms would come to watch the battle, but this time, many legendary figures had come. For example, the mysterious and most powerful figure of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture, the Raindrop Sword, Ji Yichuan, had actually come as well. The haughty Fire God, Ji Lie, had also come!
The ten Deacons had all arrived, and none of them were absent.
This was not just the Ceremony of the Golden Sword. More importantly…this was the trial battle for the candidates for the Prefecture Master position! As long as Ning managed to obtain the golden sword, he would become the next Prefecture Lord. This was a major event that involved the succession of the Prefecture Lord. Naturally, most of the Xiantian lifeforms of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture were present.
"Today is the last day of the Ceremony of the Golden Sword.”A cold voice rang out. A long-haired woman with blue light was standing on the fighting ring." Now, eight youths, please come up to the fighting ring.”
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
Eight figures jumped onto the Coliseum.
Ning glanced sideways, noticing that the other seven opponents were all staring at him. Obviously, as the only one in the top eight who was directly selected without fighting at the bottom, he had provoked the rejection of these seven opponents.
"You think I want to?" Ning pursed his lips. The fact that they were directly placed in the top eight was completely decided by Manor Lord Ji Young."But these seven fellows are all quite tall. Even if they're women, the shortest one should be at least 1.7 meters tall. He's a little taller than me…Oh, that stupid big guy is probably 2.3 meters tall.”
Although they were all youths, they had all trained to a high level, and most of them were nearing the age of sixteen. Only Ning was only ten years old; naturally, he was the smallest and smallest of them all.
"The eight of you will fight one by one. The loser will go down, and the winner will stay. The top four were decided. Then, the top two would be decided, and the strongest would be decided.”the long-haired woman said.
Ning and the other seven youths all listened.
Suddenly-
"Stop!" A cold voice rang out.
The spectating youths of the tribes and the tens of thousands of citizens of the West Prefecture City all turned to look in the direction of the voice. Even the long-haired woman frowned as she turned to look behind her. She was a Xiantian lifeform of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture, but she had only come to preside over the ceremony on the last day. Who was interrupting at this time? When she turned her head to look…the person who spoke was a cold man dressed in white beast skin.
The long-haired woman trembled.
"It's the Raindrop Sword, Ji Yichuan."
"Water Drop Sword."
"The Water Drop sword is like an enormous iceberg just standing there. Even I feel a chill in my heart.”Many of the tens of thousands of spectators had looks of excitement in their eyes. Every single Xiantian lifeform was like a Fiendgod, and Yichuan was the most dazzling existence in this world, a legendary existence.
"The final day of the Ceremony of the Golden Sword is to determine the strongest of the eight to obtain the golden sword. As I see it…let's just let Ji Ning fight against the seven of them!”
"One against seven?" The long-haired woman was stunned." This, this…"
"What?!"
"One against seven? The other seven were the most talented youths.”
"This!"
Everyone was shocked.
Even Manor Lord Ji Young, who was seated next to Ji Yichuan, was slightly stunned. As for the venomous elder, Ji Lie, who was seated next to Ji Young, he laughed loudly."Good. One against seven. Ji Ning is an extremely talented youth of our Ji clan of the West Prefecture. Even if he fails, it will be a form of training. But Yichuan…if your son were to fight against seven by himself, what would happen if he loses?”
"If you lose, you should admit defeat.”Yichuan said calmly.
"Alright." Lee nodded.
Young looked at Yichuan, puzzled, then said,"Just as Yichuan said."
"Yes, Prefecture Master." The long-haired woman, seeing this, nodded. The two largest factions of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture had both nodded, so she naturally wouldn't say anything. She could only sigh to herself that the Raindrop Sword, Ji Yichuan, was truly too arrogant.
"The eight of you."
The long-haired woman looked at the eight youths."Choose your weapons from me. Once you've chosen your weapons…listen to my commands. Once I give the command, Ji Ning will fight against the seven of you. If Ji Ning loses, or if all seven of you lose…then this battle will be over.”
"Whoosh." The long-haired woman waved her hand, and a large pile of weapons suddenly appeared on the fighting ring. There were all kinds of weapons, but the only thing was that they were not sharpened!
"Choose." the long-haired woman said.
Ning and the other eight youths all walked forward, quickly choosing their weapons. Ning also chose a black longsword that was roughly fifty kilograms in weight.
The tens of thousands of spectators below were all discussing animatedly. This was the first time many of them had seen the Raindrop sword, Ji Yichuan. They felt that Ji Yichuan was like a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg that sent chills down their spines."Isn't Ji Yichuan a little too arrogant? He treats his son like this as well. One against seven? Even if Ning truly was more powerful than the other seven, how could he possibly win against all seven of them simultaneously?”
"How crazy."
"I heard that Ji Ning was only ten years old, but his father ordered him to participate in the Ceremony of the Golden Sword, and even made him fight against seven people. How pitiful."
Many of the spectators began to sympathize with Ji Ning. After all, of the eight youths on the platform, Ji Ning was the thinnest and smallest, and also the youngest. Ji Ning had a delicate and handsome appearance…a thin and delicate youth, and his father was famous for being cold and stern. One could imagine how strict his father had been to him.
"Have you chosen?" The long-haired woman looked at the eight youths.
Seven of the youths stood on one side of the fighting ring, wielding either scimitars, spears, straight sabers, or sharp swords. All of them stared at Ning.
On the other side of the platform was the lonely Ji Ning.
Ning held a sword in his hand as he stared calmly at his opponent.
"Since you've already chosen." The long-haired woman waved her hand and put away the pile of unsharpened weapons beside her. At the same time, she said," Then let's begin.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The seven figures on one side of the platform all charged forward at high speed, simultaneously charging towards Ning on the other side.
