It was already afternoon when Yu Li entered the city and saw many disciples who had come to participate in the competition like them, each of them carrying a sword on his back. Some were sharp and others had a faint aura. They either stopped to discuss or passed by in a hurry, all showing their enthusiasm for the competition.
Gujian Village is originally a poor and backward village, and the people wear coarse clothes. It was okay for the elderly people, but a few fledgling boys and girls were instantly dazzled by the prosperity of the city.
"Okay, just calm down."
The village chief's shout sounded like thunder among the two of them. Only then did they realize that they had made a mistake and almost caused trouble to the village chief.
"Where did you come from, country bumpkin? Get out of the way quickly. I shocked the young master's car. Can you afford to pay for it?"
A voice full of ridicule suddenly came, and everyone realized that a carriage was approaching quickly from behind, and it was approaching in the blink of an eye. The person who spoke was the guard who was leading the way, looking fierce.
The village chief hurriedly pulled everyone to the roadside, but it was too late. The four tall horses driving the car looked like aliens with the blood of Warcraft. They ignored the pedestrians in front and rammed directly towards them. Yu Li decisively stretched out his hand and pulled everyone around him back, except for the two girls who were far away from him and he couldn't reach them. The two women seemed to be immobilized, stupidly not knowing how to respond.
"Snapped--"
A whip whistle sounded, and the coachman waved his long whip and whipped it at the two of them unceremoniously. The others were too late to rescue them with their eyes wide open.
"It's really troublesome!"
Yu Li, who was standing in the crowd in front of the carriage, flicked his finger. A piece of low-grade spiritual stone spun out of the hand at high speed, carrying the power of the sword and instantly shattering the flying whip. At the same time, the two women were knocked back five or six steps. The four exotic horses were frightened by the sudden power and stopped their hoofs. Raise your front palm with momentum——
"Herod-"
The people in the car were caught off guard, the driver fell to the ground, and the young master in the car suddenly staggered.
"Ah——, which bastard harmed me?"
"boom--"
Before he could get mad, the spirit stone that Yu Li had ejected seemed to be pulled by a rope, drawing an arc in the air, bypassing the horse and hitting the person on the exit, causing a red mark to appear on his forehead.
The young master was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He tremblingly reached out and touched his forehead, only a slight pain occurred. Looking at the spirit stone that fell to the ground, there was no damage at all. He didn't think that he was lucky enough to survive. It was clear that the person who took action showed mercy. Even the ancestors of the family might not be able to achieve such strong control. Although he is a bit dandy, he is by no means a fool. Everything that happens in front of him is seen by him.
"Senior, please spare your life, this junior will never dare to do it again!"
His plea for mercy did not receive any reply. It seems that the master just wanted to give himself a warning. I felt a lot more relaxed, but I still had to show off.
He jumped out of the car and kicked the driver hard, mumbling non-stop.
"I usually tell you not to be arrogant and to be low-key, but this is what you do? Are you trying to kill me, young master?"
Feeling uneasy, he kicked the coachman a few more times, making the coachman completely confused. The young master was scared to death, wasn't he? Why didn't he teach the country bumpkin who blocked the road a lesson? Why did he hit me?
"Master, it's me -"
"The one I'm beating is you, MD. If senior hadn't shown mercy today, would you still be alive?"
"Senior...Senior——"
The coachman also broke into a cold sweat when he thought about what happened before, and decisively shut up. Could it be that a senior really took action? His young master would never lie to him, and he would definitely kick him a few times to save himself.
The onlookers watched with great interest and were afraid of the man in the car and did not dare to say anything.
Yu Li kept his merit and fame deep in his heart and watched the two people's performance calmly. The village chief had already helped the two girls up from the ground. After the young man in the carriage hit the driver, he suddenly thought of something. He took out a silk bag from his body and walked up to the two women.
"I'm sorry, my servant didn't understand the rules just now. I frightened the two beauties. This is a little bit of my thoughts, to calm down the shock for you two."
After saying that, the two women could not reply. They handed the bag to one of the women and drove away with the driver and guards. They no longer looked as arrogant and domineering as before. Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the crowd slowly dispersed. Everyone was discussing what had just happened, and the "Second Young Master" who had always been arrogant and domineering actually felt frustrated at times.
"Village chief, this-"
"Take it, were you scared just now? Why don't you thank the senior who passed by for taking action."
"Lan Xin/Hui Ru, thank you, senior, for saving your life!"
The two women bowed in the air, and Yu Li felt silently.
Afterwards, the two women opened the cloth bag, and ten middle-grade spiritual stones were clearly visible. The two women shook their little hands and almost threw them on the ground. Their total wealth is only a few pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, and they have never touched a medium-grade spiritual stone. Others looked at it with envy, thinking that it would be better if it were them. Looking back, I felt relieved that they were lucky this time, otherwise their lives would have been lost.
"this--"
"This is compensation for you, just accept it!"
The village chief didn't expect that the young man who made the move was so generous, but he didn't have the slightest intention of coveting it. But the two women didn't dare to stay together. After looking at each other, they actually made the same decision. The two of them each kept one piece, and the other eight pieces and the cloth bag were handed over to the village chief.
"Village Chief, we don't need so much. We can just keep a piece and use the rest for public use. The two of us have a lot of resources for practicing every year, so we can just make up for it."
"Good boy, I'm sorry for you."
The village chief was a little embarrassed, but he still didn't refuse. He had watched the two girls grow up, and he knew the tempers of children too well. With these spiritual stones, I can eat better this time in the competition.
This is just a small episode on the road. Although it is thrilling, it also makes everyone realize that this place is no better than home. There are many masters, and they must clamp their tails to survive. Even an old bastard like Zhao Erhei keeps a much lower profile. The village chief took everyone to the competition management office to sign up and receive a courtyard to live in. Everyone put aside their thoughts of going out to see more and quietly went back to their rooms to prepare for tomorrow's competition.
Dinner was provided free of charge by the organizer, and everyone enjoyed the meal even though it was not sumptuous. The village chief specially added a piece of spirit animal meat. During the day, the old village chief was very grateful for Yu Li's actions in helping people around him, and did not charge Yu Li any money.
On the day of the competition, the village chief Qing Li gathered everyone early and rushed to the competition venue after breakfast. Xilou City is only a second-tier city, but there are still five to six thousand people participating in the competition. Outside, the chances of ordinary people awakening are less than 10%, and the descendants of practitioners have about a 50% chance. I don't know if it's a mutation in the small world of Sword Tomb or a mutation caused by fusion with a foreign race. The people here have an extremely high chance of awakening the source. Basically, seven out of ten people will awaken. The difference lies in the level of the source.
After the team completed the qualification test, the village chief was overjoyed. In addition to Yu Li, four of the six boys and girls who participated in the competition for the first time this year have good qualifications. Among the three middle-grade Taoist sources, one has a sword bone, and there is a high-grade metal Taoist source. This is an unprecedented happy event in more than ten years. He will definitely enter a famous sect and practice, and the village will also receive a huge resource reward.
