Chapter 171: Obtaining the Entry Place Justly and Honourably

Yun Tian Chen furrowed his brows slightly, and sighed inwardly that the little girl was too swayed by personal feelings.

Many of those pupils in the younger generation had hidden their strengths, but their age was a little on the older side, so they weren’t selected to participate in the Glacial Mountain Range Trial.

After all, although the age of the participants for the competition couldn’t exceed thirty based on the rules, but if one exceeded twenty-five, then there wasn’t much potential to raise.

It would be a pity if Lou girl really lost her place because of this.

Yun Cang just happened to be the opposite. Not only did he not show concern, but his eyes were filled with appreciation, and said to Yun Tian Chen: “Lou girl made an excellent choice. Talking with your fists is the ultimate rule.

“The Tian’ling Continent Tournament for Hegemony is a gathering of talented people from various distinguished clans and kingdoms. If Lou girl wants to compete with those people for the top hundred, but she couldn’t even defeat the younger generation of Yan’zhou Kingdom, then it was fine not to go.” Yun Cang saw Yun Tian Chen’s worry, so he added.

Yun Tian Chen thought about it and realised it was also this principle. As her paternal uncle-in-law, he naturally hoped this girl could advance into the top hundred.

“Lou Mu Yan, are your words serious?” A pupil of a small clan stood up and looked at her, asking.

This person appeared twenty-seven or eight, Middle-Phase Sword King strength and was filled with fighting spirit. Since there was such an opportunity, who didn’t want to fight for it.

Lou Mu Yan nodded: “Naturally they’re serious. How about you start the challenge?”

After she finished speaking, she tapped her toes and flew onto a battle platform set up in the Martial Hall, looking as if she was saying ‘welcome to challenge’.

“Then please forgive this one for any offence.” The person also jumped onto the platform, cupped his fists, then drew his longsword and attacked Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t take out any weapons. She spread out her palm and scorching fire lotuses floated out from her palms one by one. The temperature in the entire Martial Hall rose continuously.

The moment the man’s sword aura touched the fire lotus, it melted. The last fire lotus’s petals scattered and fell into the person’s body instantly.

The person half-knelt on the ground and screamed. Several fire lotuses flew out and lifted his body, tossing him out of the battle platform.

In just two rounds, Lou Mu Yan easily defeated a Middle-Phase Sword King Sword Master, making the people present not dare to underestimate her.

Of course, her strength was indeed good in the eyes of others, but this still couldn’t convince everyone. People continued to challenge one by one, hopping onto the platform. If they didn’t personally try to fight for the place, they all wouldn’t feel convinced.

It was just that even when the last person went up to challenge, Lou Mu Yan still wasn’t forced to use a weapon. She only used Elemental Energy Condensation and defeated all the challengers.

All the challengers didn’t last more than five rounds each with her, including a few Sword Masters at Peak-Phase Sword King strength.

After Lou Mu Yan finished the battle with more than twenty people, she still appeared relaxed and looked at the people below, hugging her arms carelessly and indolently.

“Are there still any who wants to challenge? If there’s no more who wants to challenge, then I’ll leave now.”

Gu Yuan Kai’s face was grim, but all the pupils on the side of his Clan had been sent and they still couldn’t win Lou Mu Yan. Those that were over thirty years old weren’t qualified to challenge either, so he could only grit his teeth secretly, plotting how to get rid of her.

“Lou Mu Yan obtained her place after passing the Glacial Mountain Range Trial to begin with. Since there’s no one to challenge her now, then the six entries will be set.” The Imperial Master saw that many of the younger generation below had a bitter expression and knew that they were reconciled.

Seeing that no one had anymore objections, Yun Cang continued: “The six of you should try your best to improve your strength in the next two months. No one is allowed to disturb. If anyone doesn’t have eyes and goes to provoke again, they will be punished with treason.”

After he finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Gu Yuan Kai.

Gu Yuan Kai secretly hated within. This old damned thing—just wait until after their plan was launched. He would definitely let them all die without a place to be buried.

After Lou Mu Yan’s entry was confirmed, she greeted Yun Tian Chen and Ruan Li, then went home with Lou grandfather.

“Girl, have you cured Ye Clan’s little girl and Fei Yang’s illness?” After returning to the Lou Clan, Lou Zhan Tian asked Lou Mu Yan as soon as he sat down.

Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow, raised her chin and said proudly: “Only of course. Just look at who’s granddaughter she is.”

“You stinky girl. I praise you a little and you become smug.” Grandfather rolled his eyes at her, but he couldn’t hide the smile on his face.

“Well, didn’t I learn all this from you, my Respected Grandpa.” Lou Mu Yan said with a smile: “Elder Cousin Brother Fei Yang also came back with me.”

“Where’s he?” Lou Zhan Tian also liked Ling Fei Yang very much.

“He went to visit an old friend and will come home later.”

As soon as she came back, she heard that the list of participants for the Tian’ling Continent Tournament for Hegemony was announced today, so she hurried over. The people in charge of the Lou Clan were all in the palace, so Ling Fei Yang went to the Imperial Capital to visit some old friends first.

“Mm, bring him to see me after he returns.”

“Is Yan’er going into Seclusion?” Lou Mo Yu had a refined smile on his face.

Lou Mu Yan thought for a bit, then said: “Dad, has the private army of one hundred people been selected?”

“We’ve already selected two hundred people long ago, just waiting for you to choose.” Lou Mo Yu said with a smile.

“Then take me to pick them out now. I still need to go to the palace to take a few Alchemists from the Imperial Family here. After refining a batch of pills, I’ll prepare to go into Seclusion.” Lou Mu Yan stood up and said.

“Alright!”

Then Lou Mu Yan selected one hundred private troops to be specially raised out of the two hundred people that was chosen by her dad, while the remaining one hundred’s natural endowments also seemed pretty good, so she also had Lou Mo Yu secretly raise them a bit.

Then she went to the palace to pick up two Grade 1 Alchemists and one Grade 2 Alchemist, brought them to the Lou Clan, and directly got them to refine pills. Only after the few people were able to refine the pills she taught them did she exit the Pill Refining Room.

Her time was also very precious right now. After seeing Huo Xiao for a bit, she entered into the Lou Clan’s Secret Room and began her Seclusion.

She first brewed a lot of Spiritual Wine using the Spiritual Spring and the Blood Sacs, and only after did she start cultivating.

The main purpose of the Seclusion this time was to comprehend the water attribute Law. She took out the belly beads of the Jiang’chuan Lin Fish that she obtained from the Ye Clan, then held one in her hand to feel it.

“Bing Ji, teach me the Secret Method.” Lou Mu Yan found that there was no way to absorb the essence of water in the belly bead herself, so she still had to use Bing Ji’s Secret Method.

Bing Ji had long been thinking about the belly beads Lou Mu Yan had, so after teaching her the Secret Method, he laughed a few times: “Little Owner, can you also leave some for me.”

He didn’t dare to threaten Lou Mu Yan with the Secret Method. Every time he thought of the appearance of the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King when he was madly beaten by Little Owner, he would have lingering fears. It was still more practical to use the strategy of currying favour with.

Lou Mu Yan knocked his head with a knuckle, grabbed a handful of belly beads and tossed it aside, “You won’t have none, do I look that stingy?”

“How’s that possible. Little Owner is the most generous and straightforward. If anyone dares to say that you’re stingy, I’ll be the first to beat them.” Bing Ji picked up a belly bead and swallowed it, saying with a flattering smile.

Mo Yan felt that he was unable to look directly at him, so he turned around, jumped towards a corner, and began to cultivate alone. While Lou Mu Yan rose her strength, they couldn’t relax either.

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at Bing Ji, “Sycophant.”

After she finished speaking, she picked up a belly bead again and started refining it using Bing Ji’s Secret Method. Sure enough, the sliver of blue water essence in the bead was sucked into her body little by little and circulated in her dan’tian.
