Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Hegemon Sword Sect’s Number One Prodigy: I Want to Compete with You in Sword Intent

The next day, the third round of the competition began. The female guard stepped onto the arena, and with a wave of her hand, twenty-five tokens floated in the air. She announced, “In this round, one person will have a bye. The remaining twenty-four will compete in pairs to determine the top thirteen. The token without a number will receive the bye.”

After speaking, she sent the twenty-five tokens to the twenty-five contestants.

Chu Xin picked up the token in front of her and examined it. Chu Chen also craned his little head over curiously and exclaimed in surprise, “Big Sister, I know this number! It’s number one! You’re going first!”

Hearing his exclamation, a short young man nearby trembled, and his face showed a worried expression.

“Damn it! My opponent is actually that brat.”

The young man cursed inwardly, his eyes darting around as he thought of a countermeasure.

As long as he entered the top thirteen, he was absolutely sure he could make it into the top three.

But if he lost this match, he wouldn’t even have a chance to compete for the top ten, let alone the top three.

This battle was crucial. He absolutely couldn’t lose.

Comparing overall combat power?

That little toddler had too many secrets. He definitely couldn’t win in terms of overall combat power.

Comparing sword dao?

That little toddler instantly killed three peak Martial Venerable pets with her sword dao and easily controlled one hundred thousand sword qi to precisely deliver grilled meat slices. He couldn’t compare in terms of sword dao cultivation either.

It seemed that this was the only way.

After much thought, the young man felt that his only chance of victory seemed to lie in this.

“Next, will the two contestants who drew the number one token please come to the stage.”

The female guard’s voice rang out.

Chu Xin leaped onto the arena. At the same time, the young man also jumped onto the stage.

“Are you from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?”

Seeing the young man, Chu Xin immediately asked eagerly.

Hearing this, everyone was speechless.

The disciples and elders of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were even more enraged. Was this damn brat still thinking about the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s demon beasts?

The young man was also speechless. He shook his head and said, “Hegemon Sword Sect, Qin Tian.”

“Qin Tian? That’s the number one prodigy of the Hegemon Sword Sect, a peak Martial Venerable, just twenty years old this year.”

“Twenty years old and a peak Martial Venerable? That talent doesn’t seem to be on par with Black Tiger of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect or Fu Yunxiao of the Demon Saber Sect.”

“No, no, no. Although they are both peak Martial Venerables, Black Tiger and Fu Yunxiao have just entered the peak Martial Venerable realm, while Qin Tian has been at the peak Martial Venerable realm for several years. It is said that his progress in comprehending the Heavenly Dao is also quite good. There are rumors that he will undergo the Minor Heavenly Tribulation within five years.”

“Undergo the Minor Heavenly Tribulation within five years? Then wouldn’t he become a Martial Saint by the age of twenty-five at most? That talent could be ranked in the top fifty, or even the top thirty, in the Nine Provinces.”

“That’s right. If he hadn’t reached the age limit, he probably wouldn’t have participated in this year’s Lánzhōu Grand Competition.”

The crowd discussed among themselves, full of admiration.

Qin Tian was not only the number one prodigy of the Hegemon Sword Sect but also the well-deserved number one prodigy of Lánzhōu.

Uh!

Of course, that was before the two little toddlers appeared.

Now, this former number one prodigy of Lánzhōu might not be a match for those two little toddlers.

“Not from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect? How boring.”

Originally full of anticipation, Chu Xin’s little face immediately fell, and she lost all interest.

The greatest joy of the competition was using the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s demon beasts for barbecue. There was really no other fun.

◈◈◈

As the number one prodigy of the Hegemon Sword Sect, and even the number one prodigy of Lánzhōu, when had Qin Tian ever been so underestimated? An unnamed anger rose in his heart.

But thinking of the brat’s strength, he had to suppress his urge to explode. He coaxed patiently, “Little Miss, we are both sword cultivators. We should know the importance of sword intent to a sword cultivator. For today’s competition, why don’t we only compare sword intent and nothing else? What do you say?”

“What the hell! Only compare sword intent? This number one prodigy of the Hegemon Sword Sect is too shameless.”

“That’s right. The little toddler is only three years old. At most, she has only cultivated sword intent for three years. How can she compare sword intent with Qin Tian, who has already begun to comprehend the Heavenly Dao?”

“Little toddlers, don’t agree, beat him fiercely.”

Qin Tian’s words made everyone present very dissatisfied.

Although generally speaking, sword dao cultivation and sword intent complement each other and improve together. The stronger the sword intent, the stronger the sword dao cultivation. The stronger the sword dao cultivation, the stronger the sword intent.

But Qin Tian had been comprehending the Heavenly Dao for many years, and his understanding of the Sword Dao far exceeded that of ordinary peak Martial Venerables. Naturally, his sword intent was also much stronger than other peak Martial Venerable sword cultivators.

And that little toddler was only three years old. Even if she was born this strong, she had only cultivated sword intent for three years at most. There was absolutely no way she could compare with Qin Tian.

If they were comparing cultivation or overall strength, the little toddler had endless tricks up her sleeve and definitely wouldn’t be afraid.

But if they were only comparing sword intent, that was hard to say.

In the judge’s area, Long Yufei, who was in the main seat, frowned slightly. She glanced at the Hegemon Sword Sect’s judge and said indifferently, “Is this your Hegemon Sword Sect’s number one prodigy?”

The Hegemon Sword Sect’s judge chuckled dryly and said, “That, Provincial Governor Long is also a sword cultivator. You should know that comparing sword intent is also a common method of sparring between sword cultivators. It’s nothing unusual. Moreover, if the little toddler doesn’t accept, then this proposal naturally won’t count.”

Long Yufei didn’t say anything and turned to continue watching the arena.

On the arena, the female guard also frowned. Although she despised Qin Tian in her heart, she still looked at Chu Xin and asked, “Ai Chirou, contestant Qin Tian proposes to compare sword intent. Do you agree? If you don’t agree, then the competition will proceed according to the previous rules. Contestant Qin Tian has comprehended the Sword Dao for many years, and his sword intent is far beyond that of ordinary peak Martial Venerable sword cultivators.”

“Compare sword intent?”

Chu Xin tilted her head and looked at Qin Tian for a moment. She said with a troubled expression, “But Dad doesn’t let me easily compare sword intent with others. Dad said that I can’t fully control my sword intent yet, and it wouldn’t be good if I accidentally turned someone into an idiot.”

Everyone was speechless.

How much confidence does your father have in you?

This is sword intent, not cultivation or strength. You’re a three-year-old toddler. How strong can your sword intent be? You want to turn someone who has comprehended the Sword Dao for many years into an idiot?

Qin Tian smiled and said, “It’s fine. Those who die in the simulation space can be revived in the preparation area. The preparation area has a recovery formation that can heal any injury. Even if you can’t recover and really become an idiot, I won’t blame you.”

Chu Xin thought for a moment, then shook her head. “No, your words don’t count. You need your father to guarantee it.”

Qin Tian was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at the Hegemon Sword Sect’s judge in the judge’s area and said, “I don’t have parents. My master is away, and my Senior Martial Uncle is here. Can he guarantee it?”

“Yes!”

Chu Xin nodded.

The Hegemon Sword Sect’s judge smiled and said, “Little one, just compete without worry. I guarantee that no matter who becomes an idiot, no one can seek trouble with the other party.”

“No, that’s not right.”

Chu Xin shook her head and corrected, “It’s not that no one can seek trouble with the other party. It’s that no one can tell my Dad. Otherwise, my Dad will spank my butt until it blossoms.”
