Yu Li's behavior was different from ordinary people's and attracted the attention of many people. Even the noble merchants who were watching from the VIP seats also cast their eyes, seeing that he was holding a black weapon that looked like a sword but not a sword. Regardless of the identity of the opponent, he would end the battle with one sword.
Feng Zhong, the Lord of the West Tower, was watching today's game with an official from the royal capital. Accompanying the official to the West Tower was a woman in Tsing Yi, standing behind the official like a block of ice, protecting his safety.
"Xuan Qi, how is this person?"
"Very strong!"
"You said it should be okay if we bring him in in advance, right?"
"have no idea."
"Alas, you are still so boring. After the game is over, I will go and talk to him."
The woman named Xuan Qi did not answer. Her mission was only to be responsible for his safety and not to care about other things.
Yu Li completed the last round of the competition and successfully won the only thirteen-round victory. He became the dark horse of this year's competition. He also entered the top 50 in the ranking of 500 people. Qualifications accounted for too much of the score. Perhaps he was the only one in the top 100 with medium qualifications. He doesn't care about this, as long as he can participate in the finals and successfully enter the Sword Tomb, showing a little bit of his strength. Even the seeds and geniuses in the audience's mouth were pitifully weak in front of him. If it weren't for the quota, he wouldn't even have the desire to draw the sword.
He turned around and asked the village chief to collect the winning prize on his behalf as a reward for borrowing the name of Gujian Village to participate in the competition.
Qing Li was so excited that he didn't expect that a random move of chess would lead to such a generous reward for the village. In this way, Gujian Village will have five places to enter the finals, and five training funds are not a small amount. More importantly, their Ancient Sword Village finally gained some glory.
"Yu Li, the city lord has called us for something, please come with us."
Yu Li felt a little awkward listening to the words of the two guards blocking the way. Now that he has attracted the attention of the city lord, maybe there are some things that need to be traded.
"Okay, please lead the way."
Following the two guards, Yu Li came to the VIP area where the city lord was. Two men wearing the official clothes of the Western Desert Dynasty were sitting on the upper hand, and there was a woman standing next to them. One was dressed as a maid, and the other was dressed as a swordsman in blue.
There were some other city lords on the left and right, with more than ten people sitting or standing. At the opening of the previous game, Yu Li had seen City Lord Feng Zhong give a brief speech, so he knew his identity.
"I have met the city lord and all your lords."
The city lord didn't speak, but the official next to him spoke, as if he was the protagonist.
"Get up, I am the patrol officer sent by the imperial family to inspect here. You can call me Zhou Mingyang or Mr. Zhou. I asked you to come here because I have something to talk to you."
"I wonder what Mr. Zhou is calling Xiao Xiu here for? Xiao Xiu's shoulders are so immature, I'm afraid he might miss something important."
"Xuan Qi, go and try."
"Choke-"
Before Yu Li could say anything else, Xuan Qi, a woman standing behind Zhou Mingyang, drew her sword and rushed towards Yu Li. Yu Li saw that the other party was a pretty woman, so he didn't take her seriously and began to comment on her good swordsmanship.
"At the late third level, although his cultivation level is not low, his swordsmanship is unfortunately only average."
The VIP room is not big, so one person's attack will not cause damage, but two people's attack will hardly affect the surrounding area. Yu Li simply didn't fight back and took advantage of the situation to move around her. He kept mumbling, which to him was just an objective comment about Xuan Qi's swordsmanship. It seemed to him that he had been insulted, his face darkened instantly, and his sword became more and more fierce.
"You pay too much attention to sword moves but fail to master the secrets of swords. How did you get to the third level by relying on resources? That's not how swords are made!"
Xuan Qi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect to be taught a lesson by a junior today. Suddenly feeling cold, he put aside his previous scruples with his sword move and struck without mercy, pointing the sword directly at Yu Li's vitals.
"You look good this time. You were hesitant just now, like a girl. Oh, Kuuhu, you are a woman."
Although she increased the intensity of her attack, Xuan Qi found helplessly that she didn't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes.
"Okay, Xuan Qi, come back."
When Yu Li heard the opponent's voice to stop the fighting, he jumped out of the fighting circle and stood quietly beside him to see what he wanted to do.
Xuan Qi's face turned dark, and he reluctantly returned to Zhou Mingyang. He glared at Yu Li hatefully and then changed back to his original appearance of ice.
"Our West Desert Dynasty and the other three dynasties live in harmony on the surface, but there are still some secret fights. Now that the Sword Tomb is about to open, the Dongcang Dynasty proposed a competition to redistribute the quota for entering the Sword Tomb. Originally, I Mozhuo does not have the most places. Only 260 of the 1,080 places are occupied, which has not yet reached the average number.
"Now Dongcang's proposal has been responded to by Nanyan and Beixuan. The king has sent officials to various places in order to select some powerful talents like you. To avoid the loss of names and the decline of talents in the Western Desert in the future."
Yu Li originally thought that there were only four hundred places for sword tombs, and each country only had one hundred, but he did not expect that there were a thousand or eight in total, which means that most of them were secretly allocated by those in power. For such a situation, Yu Li can accept it. Whoever has a bigger fist will have the right to speak. Royal families, aristocratic families, academies, and sects will definitely have several reserved places. Now that the problem has come, but the responsibility is pushed out, this calculation is really loud, isn't there someone with a big fist? Just let them figure it out. Anyway, he is not from here, and he does not love this country.
"Oh, but what does this have to do with me? Firstly, I have not shared your resources, and secondly, I have not benefited from you. In the village where we are located, the cultivation resources are all obtained by everyone with their own efforts. You have taken up so much Shouldn’t we contribute resources and quotas? Why should we select from the private sector? Besides, with my ability, it’s not difficult to go to the dynasty and get a quota to enter the Sword Tomb.”
Zhou Mingyang was stunned. He didn't expect that he would say this, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while. Xuan Qi next to him spoke instead——
"But your qualification to participate in the competition now is given by Dynasty, you should be grateful."
"Haha, the Sword Tomb is the Sword Tomb of the entire Sword World, and also the Sword Tomb of the entire Chaos Universe. It is the only thing that is not the private property of the four dynasties. Because you have not contributed anything to the Sword Tomb, you only know how to take from it."
"You're talking nonsense. Sword Tombs are originally owned by this world."
"Haha, did your ancestors and parents tell you this? Or did the royal family tell you this?"
Although Yu Li has no feelings for Jianzhong, he doesn't want to become someone's tool.
"Even if it is shared by this world, then I would like to ask why most people may not get a place even if they work hard, but some people can just sit back and enjoy it, and can enter the sword tomb without doing anything. And what do you think the swords in the sword tomb are? Created out of thin air? How many generations of people put their own swords into it to make the sword mound grow. And when the dynasty and nobles received swords from it, how many people thought about giving back? "
I have also heard about this in the past few days. Including the royal family, thousands of swords are taken out from the sword tomb every year. This has been going on for so long. It must have consumed a lot of the sword tomb, but few people return half of the swords, either. Pass it on to descendants, or take it into the tomb as a burial object.
