Chapter Twenty-Five: Gold in the Sand Part I

I received the details of the competition yesterday afternoon, and it is not very different from previous years. The selection tournament is divided into three stages, the group stage, the knockout stage and the final. There are eight main halls under the entire Demon Swordsman Temple, and the Demon Swordsmen selected by each main hall and its subordinate halls are divided into a group, with a total of eight groups, and the group first fights one-on-one by drawing lots, and the loser is eliminated immediately. In the end, three people from each group qualify, and then a knockout tournament will be held, and twelve winners will be selected to become the reserves of the Night Knights. The final will be played out among the twelve reserves, and the top three will receive special rewards. After Ark finished speaking, he grabbed the water cup and poured a sip of water, and then asked Jesse and Yun Xiaoyu who were sitting in front of him, "Understood?"

"Understood!" replied in unison. Needless to say, the two places selected by the branch hall of Leia City must be Yun Xiaoyu and Jesse. Jesse has excellent talent, and at the age of only twenty-three, he has the strength of the fourth and fifth levels, and he is very good in the Demon Swordsman Temple and even the entire Dragon Temple. And Yun Xiaoyu's pervert is not to mention, the fourteen-year-old fourth-order and eighth-level, let alone see it, many people have never heard of it.

Yak looked at the two energetic apprentices, nodded with great satisfaction, and said: "The competition will start in half a month, and you will not be allowed to train in this half month, give you a few days off, and go for a spin by yourself! Report to me in ten days! I will take you to the Holy Demon City, where the main hall of the Demon Swordsman Temple is located, to participate in the competition. Don't embarrass me!"

Yun Xiaoyu and Jesse glanced at each other, and cheered in unison: "Hooray! It's a holiday!" You must know that in the past three years, Yake has been urging Yun Xiaoyu to cultivate all the time, and Jesse was also tragically killed by the fish pond and was caught practicing together. In addition to eating, they are even meditating and cultivating while sleeping, and now that they are finally on vacation, can they not be happy?

Ark slapped them on the head: "Two stinky boys, finally got rid of me, didn't you? Hmm? Very happy, huh? Do you want me to let you practice for another ten days and eight days and go straight to the game?"

The two screamed miserably, and ran away in an instant: "Don't~"

"Hell, Mr. Ark's conscience has finally found out!" Jesse laughed so insolently that he walked out of the branch hall with Yun Xiaoyu while whispering about Ark's usual "violent teaching".

In fact, Yun Xiaoyu wanted to go back to the room to make up for a while, but he was dragged out by Jesse, and said something, "How can a good vacation be spent in sleep, are you a pig?"

But Yun Xiaoyu is an easy-going person in the end, although he is unhappy, he still doesn't care anymore. He yawned and followed Jesse to the shopping street in Rhea City.

The city of Rhea is a frontier city, although the city is not small, but it is mostly barracks and military warehouses. The only places that are really worth a walk are the shopping streets in the city. Perhaps it's because it's the only shopping street in the city, and it's a very lively street, with residents buying their daily necessities almost every day. In addition to the original fixed shops, there are many people setting up stalls on the side of the road, which makes the already not very wide street much more crowded.

Yun Xiaoyu has a deep understanding of this. He now felt like a fish in a can, squeezed to death, almost by the flow of people, and Jesse didn't know where he was going. But even if there is a lot of unhappiness in his heart, Yun Xiaoyu can't vent it--what do you want to do? Do you use the power of destruction to blast out a way? If Yun Xiaoyu really does this, I'm afraid that Yak will be angry and directly hack him to death!

Thinking of this, Yun Xiaoyu continued to curse Jesse, and at the same time, the flow of people continued to push him forward slowly.
