Shen Han pondered for a moment, still feeling somewhat worried.

The vast expanse of the world allows for anything to happen.

On the path of cultivation, indeed, talent, resources, and experience are all indispensable.

Yexuan Country, located in a remote area, truly lacks resources.

But what if the geniuses of Yexuan Country encounter a stroke of luck?

If a world-shattering great power takes notice, what then...

All of this is possible.

Moreover, today, Quan Youzhi spoke with such a calm demeanor, as if he had everything under control.

Seeing that a few people were overly optimistic, Shen Han gently reminded them.

After all, being cautious is not a bad thing.

However, the four seemed not to agree much, just nodding slightly.

They echoed a few words, saying they would be cautious.

Yelan City, inside the City Lord Mansion.

At this moment, Quan Youzhi was reporting the day's events.

Sitting in front of him was the City Lord of Yelan City.

There are only these two cities in Yexuan Country, one named Yelan City, the other is Yexuan's Imperial City.

"The people from Wei Country, you must have met them today, what do you think; do you have confidence in surpassing them?"

Quan Youzhi slightly lowered his head in salute, his face still maintaining that calm composure.

"Reporting to the City Lord, after speaking with them today, the strongest impression was arrogance.

The people from Wei Country are as prideful as the sky and seem to look down on our Yexuan.

But from my observation, their strength is nothing extraordinary.

In tomorrow's duel, there should not be a hint of suspense."

Having said that, Quan Youzhi looked at the City Lord in front of him.

"City Lord, our potential in Yexuan is clearly not inferior to Wei Country.

Yet why, do we have to consider submission..."

The notion of submission was something the proud Quan Youzhi found hard to accept.

But the City Lord just waved his hand slightly.

"Do not get caught up in these minor details.

Although Yexuan surpasses Wei Country in cultivation.

But in military strength, we're vastly distant, Wei Country has a million-strong army.

Indeed, this military strength is not something our Yexuan Country can contend with.

But this confrontation, we must win.

Yexuan must seize this chance to showcase its full potential.

The more valuable we are, the more we can gain after submission, so this matter must not be taken lightly."

The City Lord spoke candidly, appearing to agree with Quan Youzhi's previous words.

The group accompanying Shen Han here would face defeat.

As the sky brightened slightly, a group of people followed the attendant of Yexuan Country to the City Lord Mansion.

Today, a welcome ceremony would be held here for Shen Han and his companions.

It's said to be a welcome ceremony, but in reality, it's just a platform for competition among the younger generation from both sides.

The news of this competition had already spread throughout the city.

At this moment, there was already a crowd gathered in front of the City Lord Mansion.

The citizens of Yexuan Country seemed very confident, much like Quan Youzhi the day before.

After a simple welcome ceremony, the students from Jade Dragon Academy of Great Wei stepped forward first.

Carrying a bit of resentment from the conversation with Quan Youzhi the previous day.

They still held confidence.

After all, back in Great Wei, each of them was considered outstanding in their respective academies.

And from Yexuan Country, a young man also stepped forward.

His flamboyant attire seemed unseemly under the fabric, a bit too revealing.

"Today is an exchange of cultivation methods between the two countries, the younger generations on both sides must be mindful.

Stop at the point, determine victory and defeat, and avoid harming each other."

A few simple words from the middle-aged man who had come to welcome them, marking the official start of the competition.

The young man from Yexuan Country revealed a short knife in his hand and leaped towards the Jade Dragon Scholar.

But the Jade Dragon Scholar was not flustered, concentrating calmly.

"Perilous Peak, Overturn."

A soft word, and a phantom shadow of a perilous peak floated towards the young man from Yexuan Country.

Its momentum was extremely dangerous, showing the solid foundation of this Jade Dragon Scholar.

The young man from Yexuan Country before him seemed unafraid of this move.

His entire body tensed up, instantly flickering.

Yet this flicker was somewhat bizarre, directly heading towards the phantom of the perilous peak.

If he collided like this, he feared for his whole being.

The Jade Dragon Scholar immediately halted the momentum of the perilous peak overturn, but in the next moment, a short knife was already pressed against his neck.

This was a deliberate lure, a setup...

In this first battle, the people from Great Wei were unexpectedly defeated.

Defeated by a small Yexuan country...

The Jade Dragon Academy scholar's face turned crimson red at this moment, he was clearly trying to save that person.

But ended up with defeat.

The crowd of onlookers, seeing the victory of the Yexuan Country, all had a hint of excitement on their faces.

Some even began to whisper, all abuzz.

Shen Han looked at his side at his companions, seeing the defeat of the Jade Dragon Scholar.

The student from Mountain Sea Academy seemed somewhat unable to accept it.

The recent defeat clearly had a hint of trickery.

Since that's the case, then don't blame him for being ruthless, he couldn't protect his opponent's safety like the previous Jade Dragon Scholar.

When he stepped up, the guide from the previous day, Quan Youzhi, actually stepped up as well.

Seeing this, the Mountain Sea Student was taken aback.

The guide from the day before actually had such talent?

"So, Brother Quan possesses unparalleled skills, no wonder he spoke with such confidence yesterday."

The Mountain Sea Student had a slight smile on his face.

Even though trying to restrain himself, there was still a trace of mockery in the smile.

"If there were any offenses in the words yesterday, I hope you forgive me.

However, in my view, every word spoken yesterday was the truth.

The sword dao of the world originated in our Yexuan Country and spread to other countries.

I suppose the guest is also skeptical.

Perfectly timed for a duel, you may witness our Night Declaration Swordsmanship."

As his words fell, Quan Youzhi's long sword unsheathed, the blade glinting with a gentle glow.

The glow had no sharpness, the quality of this long sword was merely ordinary.

Opposite, the Mountain Sea Student donned a pair of Tiger Fingers.

He practiced the cultivation method of Fist Force.

The force in his fist embodies sheer strength and sharpness, no wonder this Mountain Sea Student had a bit of a straightforward temperament.

His cultivation method is as direct as this Fist Intent.

In front of the City Lord Mansion, the two stood opposing each other in battle.

At the sound of an eagle's cry, both moved.

To be sent here by Mountain Sea Academy, this student surely held some skills.

The force of his fists burst forth, with one punch, a grand force suddenly assaulted.

Around him, a blade of wind even surged up!

The wind blade was sharp, each move striking Quan Youzhi like rain.

With such momentum, no wonder he was sent here by the academy.

But within two moves, the situation changed.

The Mountain Sea Student suddenly furrowed his brow, veins protruding on his forehead.

His eyes, too, unable to stop from closing.

And in front, Quan Youzhi didn't give him a chance to catch his breath, the tip of his long sword was already against the Mountain Sea Student's forehead.

All the people from Great Wei frowned deeply.

Before setting off, the academy instructed that they must win beautifully without making the opponent too embarrassed.

Indeed, they did not embarrass their opponents, but instead embarrassed themselves.
