The various aspects that influenced Spirit included strength as one of its small components. And in the vast wilderness, where people lead insecure lives and the beasts roamed freely, what people valued the most was strength.
Fancy stuff like Spirit was just some concept the people of the Kingdom’s heartlands created. To the warriors of the vast wilderness, what was Spirit? Could it be eaten?
Many people remained unconvinced, especially Lian Chengyu and Tao Yunxiao.
Lian Chengyu wanted to stand up and oppose it, but Zhang Tan was too overbearing, a person who had exceeded the Purple Blood realm was far stronger than anything Lian Chengyu could conceive of. In front of Zhang Tan, Lian Chengyu could not muster up the courage.
How could a mouse oppose a lion?
But, although Lian Chengyu lacked the courage, this did not mean Tao Yunxiao was lacking in courage. In this world, not many people knew their place; after all, Tao Yunxiao was only fourteen. He had not tunnelled into a new reality. A fourteen year old youth tended to be arrogant so he settled matters in a straight-forward manner, doing whatever he wanted to do.
Just as Tao Yunxiao was about to open his mouth, a stern voice rang in his ears, “Yunxiao, shut up!”
Tao Yunxiao could easily tell this was his father’s voice.
“Father, I can’t accept it, what the heck is with this Kingdom’s selection, why aren’t they examining strength? Wouldn’t it be immediately clear once a test of strength is made? But they had to test such useless things, I can’t accept it!”
After being exceeded by Yi Yun in the test of Spirit, Tao Yunxiao began to subconsciously belittle the use of Spirit in his words.
“If you are not convinced, then exceed him during the semi-finals!” Tao Yunxiao’s father simply replied.
“Exceed that kid?” Tao Yunxiao snorted. He would exceed him for sure without doubt, and would even crush him! “Alright, I’ll exceed the kid. The first place for the Kingdom’s selection’s Mortal Blood contest is mine!”
Tao Yunxiao clenched his fists as he stared at Yi Yun with a strong sense of animosity.
At this time, Tao Yunxiao’s father hesitated for a moment and sent his voice to Tao Yunxiao.
Upon hearing it, Tao Yunxiao’s eyes lit up. His voice was trembling with excitement.
“Father, is what you say true!? I can really use it? The tribe is no longer concealing it?”
“Yes it’s mostly confirmed. A moment of forbearance does not mean you are weak, so, Yunxiao, all my hopes rest on you. For this selection, you must live up to my expectations. Not only must you become an elite warrior of the Jin Long Wei, the Kingdom’s selection will be the starting point of our Tao tribal clan’s move into the central plains…”
“I understand!” Tao Yunxiao clenched his fists with excitement.
He had never expected that the Tao tribal clan’s elders had such ambitions. Great! I shall be the person to write a new chapter in the Tao tribal clan’s history books!
As for beating Yi Yun in the semi-finals…Yes, with that thing, would it even be a question that I can defeat Yi Yun?
As long as the tribe did not conceal it, I will let everyone know what does it mean to be a frog in a well!
Tao Yunxiao looked at Yi Yun who was in the crowd. His eyes were full of contempt and ridicule. You might have been in the limelight for the preliminaries, but I will completely crush you in the semi-finals.
As for his father’s words, Tao Yunxiao was full of anticipation.
