Chapter 216 Invincible Saber, Any Objections? (2)
Zhou Shu spoke calmly. Chen Ji and the others looked at him with respect. The more Yin Wuyou knew, the more shocked she was.
Rumor had it that Chang’an had two mysterious experts. One was the saber expert who had left behind the saber intent in the Saber Cave, and the other was the original owner of the Great Destroyer Sword, the senior brother whom Zhou Shu had mentioned.
She didn’t expect that these two people were actually the same person!
It was truly inconceivable for a person to cultivate his saber and sword techniques to such a level!!!
The invincible saber of the world, what kind of person could say such domineering words?
But Yin Wuyou, Lu Wenshuang, and Chen Ji didn’t think there was anything wrong with this statement!
Zhou Shu smiled and didn’t continue.
The Heavenly Saber Art emphasized hard work and actual combat experience. Therefore, different people would have different results when cultivating it. Everyone’s Heavenly Saber Art was unique.
When Zhou Shu used it, it might be an invincible saber.
But Chen Ji only had half of his attainments, and he was far from being invincible.
However, half of Zhou Shu’s Heavenly Saber Art was enough for him to become a second-rate expert.
Tonight, some people pondered for a long time, while others couldn’t fall asleep.
Some slept comfortably. Zhou Shu woke up from his sleep, feeling refreshed.
He opened his eyes and smelled two faint fragrances.
Yin Wuyou was only a few steps away from him. She was hugging her blanket and sleeping soundly.
Lu Wenshuang was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed and cultivating.
For some reason, Zhou Shu recalled the twin sisters Xu Shi mentioned.
Then he blushed…
He got up, washed up, and ate. Then Shi Songtao came over.
Today was the day the various diplomatic missions would come to a resolution. As the deputy envoy, he naturally had to go together.
He was not the only one. The entire diplomatic mission was operating orderly like a sophisticated machine.
Zhou Shu, the official envoy, was someone who did nothing. But they couldn’t do without him.
As they headed to the venue of the resolution, the members of the Great Xia diplomatic mission kept meeting people from other nations.
These people looked at Zhou Shu and the others with very complicated gazes.
Thinking of the extortion, they gritted their teeth in hatred.
But they couldn’t help admiring him for his cunningness.
Yesterday, a mere ninth-rank martial artist under his command came to challenge them with the Mo Mei Sword that he had forged. It was an eye-opener for all the nations.
Then… he beat up the challengers…
In merely one night, the Mo Mei Sword became ranked tenth in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual!
The location of the resolution was within Great Qin’s imperial palace.
Great Qin’s imperial palace had exactly the same bearing as all of Great Qin. It was rough and imposing. Even though it wasn’t as exquisite as the countryside gardens, it emanated a mighty and imposing aura.
In the great hall of Great Qin’s imperial palace, Zhou Shu met the legendary Qin emperor for the first time.
The Qin emperor was a legendary figure through and through. Before he ascended the throne, he was already a powerful martial artist renowned throughout the world. After he ascended the throne, he single-handedly suppressed the ten nations, allowing Great Qin to firmly sit in the position of the strongest nation for decades.
When the Qin emperor appeared in the hall, a powerful aura spread throughout the hall.
This was not an aura he deliberately released.
Instead, it was a domineering aura that seemed to be inborn, making all the diplomatic missions from the various nations fall silent.
He felt extremely powerful!
This was the first impression the Qin emperor gave Zhou Shu.
The sense of danger emanating from this Qin Emperor was even stronger than that of Xu Shi the night before.
Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes. This Qin emperor might even be stronger than him.
His intuition told him that if he fought against the Qin emperor, he might not necessarily be able to win.
But he might not necessarily lose.
The perfected Golden Bell Shield Technique gave him an invincible body.
It wasn’t that easy to injure his invincible body.
The Qin emperor’s gaze swept across the entire place. In the middle, he paused slightly on Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu smiled and nodded at the Qin emperor. This stunned the Qin emperor for a moment. He also nodded slightly, then moved his gaze away from Zhou Shu.
“The Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, which is held once every ten years, will begin again in a few months.”
The Qin emperor’s gaze was like a torch as he spoke with an imposing manner.
“You didn’t come here to listen to my long-winded speech. Let’s get straight to the
point.”
The style of the Qin emperor was the same as that of Great Qin’s martial artists, whom Zhou Shu had encountered when he entered Wang Xin’s dream. They were direct and straightforward.
He cut straight to the point.
Xu Shi walked out from a group of Great Qin ministers and came in front of the diplomatic missions.
“Everyone, before coming to Great Qin, you have already passed nine checkpoints. According to your performance in these nine checkpoints, Great Qin has come up with a ranking
“The one ranked first is the candidate for the host of this Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament.
“If no one has any objections, then they will be the host of the upcoming Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. “If anyone has any objections, they can issue a challenge. If the challenger succeeds, the challenger will automatically be ranked first. Until no one challenges, the final victor will be the host of this Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament!”
“Milord, what is the challenge?” one of the more impatient ones asked before seeing the rankings.
It seemed as though he didn’t have much confidence in his nation’s ranking and was already thinking of challenging first place. “That’s right. Lord, what is the challenge? Is it a martial arts competition?”
The one who spoke was the official envoy of Great Liang’s diplomatic mission. He looked a little depressed. Great Liang was the weakest in terms of martial strength. Although they didn’t have high expectations, it was impossible for them not to be depressed when things came to a head.
“We have already said before that the host of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament this time will mainly depend on everyone’s forging ability.” Xu Shi shook his head.
“Since we are competing on forging abilities, there will definitely be no fighting or killing.
“The challenge is very simple. The challenger only needs to prove that his forging ability is above the one challenged,” Xu Shi said casually
S
Many people from the various nations were already frowning.
Prove their forging ability?
This matter was not difficult. There might be different opinions on who was stronger and who was weaker in terms of forging ability, but this would be apparent with one’s works. For example, in the armament manual, who forged more weapons… Whose weapons ranked higher… The Forging Masters in the diplomatic missions of the various nations simultaneously turned their gazes to the Great Xia diplomatic mission, to that relaxed and contented figure.
Damn it. Today, another weapon from him had appeared in the top ten of the Yellow-grade Armament Manual.
Who could compete with him in terms of yellow-grade weapons?
In this resolution, Grand Craftsmen were not allowed to participate. Naturally, there wouldn’t be any heaven-grade weapons.
High-level Forging Masters who had the ability to forge earth-grade weapons were all trying to become Great Craftsmen. Who would have the time to come on a diplomatic mission?
There were no High-level Forging Masters who could forge earth-grade weapons among the diplomatic missions.
In that case, they could only compare with black-grade weapons.
The problem was that Great Xia wasn’t that weak when it came to black-grade weapons. If they wanted to pull back the gap between yellow-grade weapons, they would have to have someone who could dominate the Black-grade Armament Manual!
Was that even possible?
Everyone’s mind was in a mess when they heard Xu Shi continue.
“In the overall ranking of the nine checkpoints, the first place is Great Xia’s diplomatic mission.”
His voice was not loud, but everyone could hear him clearly.
“Great Xia has become the host of the next Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. Are there any objections?”
As expected, the first in the overall ranking of the nine checkpoints is the Great Xia diplomatic mission! the envoys from the various nations thought. Based on the performance of Great Xia, it was not surprising that they were ranked first. The question now was, should they challenge Great Xia?
If they didn’t challenge them, would they just watch helplessly as they became the host of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament?
When they thought of how they were robbed by Great Xia during the trial, they felt so angry.
Objection, we object! The other diplomatic missions looked at each other and saw the egging on in each other’s eyes. Challenge them! We can’t let them win too easily!
