No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right?

Chapter 91: Duel List Appears

“Sikong Jiantian has come to Qingzhou.”

On the following day.

As the news spread, the entire Qingzhou Ancient City got into an uproar.

There was a lot of discussion in the Full River House.

“I didn’t expect Sikong Jiantian to be here in the Qingzhou Ancient City too. It seems that the competition at the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time is going to be stiff.”

“Stiff competition? You’re overthinking. If Sikong Jiantian really came to compete, there is no one who can contend with him.”

“He’s the greatest Sword Dao genius in Jin Nation. Hasn’t he already entered the Ten Nations Academy ten years ago? Why is he back?”

“Is Sikong Jiantian even coming to the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet? Wouldn’t that be bullying?”

“I heard that the rewards for the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time are going to be generous. Sikong Jiantian is probably here for the rewards.”

“No way, what kind of reward can attract Sikong Jiantian to come here personally?”

“Who exactly is this Sikong Jiantian you guys are talking about? Why haven’t I heard of him before?”

The voices of the people in the Qingzhou Ancient City drowned out the comments about the young man in black and even overshadowed Ye Ping who was the talk of the town a short while ago.

In the Full River House.

Many cultivators were gathered there to discuss the matter.

“You don’t even know Sikong Jiantian? Are you from Qingzhou?”

“You don’t even know who Sikong Jiantian is. It seems like you’re not a native cultivator of Qingzhou.”

“Sikong Jiantian is the only sword genius from Qingzhou, and he is known as the most outstanding prodigy in the Ten Nations. He practiced swordsmanship at the age of three, comprehended the sword momentum at seven, and became an invincible swordsman at ten. By eleven, he had already entered the Jin Nation Academy to study, and when he was thirteen, he entered the Ten Nations Academy. Besides, he’s top among the elites of the Ten Nations Academy. You should have heard of him before.”

“Yeah, Sikong Jiantian is only 23 years old now, but he has already achieved something that others have never been able to do in their lifetime. Even Senior Siji praised him and said that he’s a rare young genius in Qingzhou.”

The people were discussing and talking about the background and origin of Sikong Jiantian.

“He’s such a powerful person, what’s the point of coming to the Sword Dao Meet?”

Some were curious and felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Sikong Jiantian, who was already so powerful, to join the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.

However, someone soon revealed a secret.

“During the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time, the top ten places will receive a Taixuan Sword Tower entry token. I reckon Sikong Jiantian is here for that thing.”

“Entry token to the Taixuan Sword Pagoda?”

“There’s going to be a good show. No wonder all the contestants of the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet are so competent. Tsk, tsk, who do you guys think will win the first place in the Sword Dao Meet this time?”

“Sikong Jiantian for sure. I don’t even have to think about it.”

“If Sikong Jiantian really joins the competition, it will be him.”

“I’m not certain. Yesterday, I felt that Eldest Senior Brother and his junior brother are not bad.”

“I’m a fan of the senior brother!”

“I’m a fan of the junior brother!”

The crowd in Full River House disputed.

However, at this moment, an indifferent voice sounded.

“Hah... a bunch of hillbillies who haven’t seen much of the world.”

The voice attracted the attention of many.

After all, everyone was talking and laughing, and suddenly someone made a snide remark out of nowhere. Who could tolerate that?

Everyone looked over.

Their expressions changed a little, but they soon sighed with relief.

The person who spoke was wearing a brocade embroidered white crane cloud robe, and they thought he was Su Changyu at first. However, after taking a closer look and realizing that it wasn’t him, they felt relieved.

If he was Su Changyu, they certainly would not dare to say anything.

However, since it wasn’t Su Changyu, it didn’t matter.

That person was Li Changye.

“Why do you say so?”

Someone spoke up, maintaining his composure without getting angry.

After all, those who could stay in Full River House were wealthy nobles, and although Li Changye’s remark was unkind, they still dared not offend him easily.

“Your horizons are too narrow and are constrained to a tiny Qingzhou. I may have never met Sikong Jiantian, but those who can enter the Ten Kingdoms Academy are indeed extraordinary. He obviously wouldn’t come all the way to Qingzhou just for a small reward.”

Li Changye drank a mouthful of fruit wine. His aura was not tacky, but unfortunately, everyone was quick to jump to conclusions. After comparing him to Su Changyu, they felt that Li Changye was mediocre.

“A tiny Qingzhou? Well, you’re in the Qingzhou Ancient City now, so aren’t you stooping low too?”

Someone couldn’t help but gibe sarcastically.

However, Li Changye did not get angry and instead spoke with even more confidence.

“I’m indeed here in Qingzhou to attend the Sword Dao Meet, but the difference is that I’m here to prove the Dao of invincibility. You guys, remember me. Qingzhou is just my first stepping stone. After conquering Qingzhou, I’m going to aim to be the first in Jin Nation, followed by the first in the Ten Nations, and then the best in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.”

Li Changye was extremely confident, but it somehow made others feel a little awkward.

“Hah, people like making huge verbal promises these days.”

“If bragging counts, I can be the best in the world of immortal cultivation too.”

“Hahahaha.”

At this moment, the crowd couldn’t help but sneer because many of them were angered by Li Changye’s arrogance.

However, Li Changye still wasn’t annoyed and simply tossed a gold ingot over before standing up and saying, “Remember what you people are saying now. When I become the best in Qingzhou, I doubt you people can still laugh.”

He went upstairs like a supreme expert, giving off great confidence that had indeed made many fall silent.

There might be fools these days, but they wouldn’t be that foolish. Clearly, Li Changye was quite something, but they didn’t know exactly how strong he was.

“Forget it, forget it, ignore him. Let’s sit down and continue drinking.”

“Yeah, he’s just a nobody who’s trying to use this method to gain attention. I didn’t expect people to still be interested in such tricks.”

“Drink up.”

After Li Changye left, everyone returned to normal, eating and chatting like they were just now.

In a corner of Full River House, Wang Minghao drank wine alone, but his eyes were filled with disdain.

‘Best in Qingzhou?’

‘Best in Jin Nation?’

‘Best in the Ten Nations?’

‘Best in the Great Xia Dynasty?’

‘Haha, how arrogant. How dare he brag in front of me?’

That was what Wang Minghao thought.

However, he didn’t stand out to speak up.

Wang Minghao felt that Li Changye was not worthy.

Indeed, Li Changye had no right to make him speak. He was destined to be the best in the world, how could he argue with others?

If he became famous in the future, others might rake up his controversial past.

Hence, Wang Minghao knew that he had to be careful with his words.

That person just now was extremely arrogant just because he had some cultivation level. If he was really impressive, he’d be outrageous.

After finishing his glass of wine, Wang Minghao also got up to leave.

Hence, the arrival of Sikong Jiantian quickly spread throughout the entire Jin Nation.

After all, Sikong Jiantian’s reputation in the Jin Nation was great, far beyond that of Ye Ping and Su Changyu.

The Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet instantly became a meet that everyone in Jin Nation paid attention to.

There were only less than seven days left before the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.

In these seven days, more and more people came to the ancient city of Qingzhou in a bid to witness the meet.

Four days later.

A piece of even more shocking news was spread.

Sikong Jiantian confirmed his registration for the Sword Dao Meet.

They even saw Ye Ping and Su Changyu’s names on the contestant list.

Ye Ping’s participation did not surprise anyone, but Su Changyu’s participation made countless people imagine.

Some people even thought that Su Changyu was participating in this competition just to compete against Sikong Jiantian.

Time flew like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed, and the Sword Dao Meet registration closed with a total of 1,024 contestants.

The meet would be held for seven days.

Eight matches would be held on the first four days to select the top eight.

In the last three days, there would be one match a day until the first emerged.

If there were special conditions, it would be adjusted accordingly.

The duel name list appeared too.

In the Full River House, Li Yu handed the list that he had someone copy to Su Changyu and Ye Ping.

Both of them were very curious to see who their opponent for the first match would be.

“Ye Ping VS Li Changye”

“Su Changyu VS Wang Lei.”
