Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1409 - 453: Three Towns’ Youths—Who Is the Genius? Young Alliance Leader, Two Rivals Competing in Their Breakthroughs

Great Xia Year Ten, the first day of August, night

Inner City Martial Arts Pavilion, third-floor Cultivation Field.

In the spacious cultivation field, over a thousand people were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, each maintaining a three to four-meter distance from one another. Surrounding them was a fiery red medicinal power, all immersed in a state of cultivation.

In the center, a handsome young man in white slowly opened his eyes as the medicinal power around him gradually thinned.

Coincidentally, in the adjacent spot, a young man of the same age, bearing a slight resemblance to him, opened his eyes almost simultaneously.

”Second brother, I’ve broken through to 7 Manes; how about you?”

Mu Yunshu, who opened his eyes later, clenched his fist to feel his strength, realizing he’s reached 7 Manes. Excitement filled his face, and upon seeing his second brother Mu Yunhua had stopped cultivating as well, he immediately asked.

Mu Yunhua didn’t rush to respond but first absorbed the last remnants of medicinal power around him. Once finished, he slightly clenched his fist and felt his strength, then revealed an answer with a joyful expression.

”More than 8 Manes, close to 9 Manes.”

Close to 9 Manes!

Upon hearing the answer, Mu Yunshu’s expression became overwhelmingly excited. Considering many around were still cultivating, he leaned forward, trying hard to suppress his voice:

”That’s great, second brother! Last year’s champion in the youth group, Lu Dong, barely reached 8 Manes in strength, and now you have surpassed him. There’s hope for winning the youth group this time!”

Mu Yunhua nodded solemnly, sharing the excitement but didn’t focus only on his joy. Looking at his fifth brother Mu Yunshu, he smiled and said, ”You’re not bad either; with a strength surpassing 7 Manes, you also have a chance at the top ten.”

Thinking about the generous rewards for the competition rankings, the brothers were beyond excited.

”Crazy, aren’t you? Trying to win a championship with less than 9 Manes of strength?”

”Surpassing 7 Manes in strength to vie for the top ten? Haven’t you participated in the preliminary and semi-finals at Hongmen?”

”Oh, I remember, there are 200 spots directly advancing to the finals this year’s Martial Arts Competition–are you two among them?”

But before the brothers could revel in their excitement for long, a voice tinged with scorn came from not far away.

The brothers looked in the direction of the voice and found the speaker was a young man in black summer clothes, around their age.

After giving him a careful look, both their expressions subtly darkened.

The strength of this black-clothed youth was unfathomable...

”Chu Mountain people...you are the ones, Mu Family Twins, Mu Yunhua and Mu Yunshu, correct?”

Being recognized at a glance, Mu Yunhua and his brother didn’t show any surprise on their faces.

At this moment, the third-floor cultivation field had over a thousand people, all dressed in summer clothes. Only the two brothers were dressed in Chu Mountain-style white clothes, easily identifiable by anyone with experience.

As to their names being called out directly, it was even less surprising.

Currently, Chu Mountain people allowed access to the Great Xia Martial Arts Pavilion are only from the Mu Family, who have made outstanding contributions during the Chu Mountain rebellion. The Twins of Mu, Mu Yunhua and Mu Yunshu, were already quite known in and around Chu Mountain.

”Are you also participating in Great Xia’s Martial Arts Competition this year, in the youth category?”

After a while, Mu Yunhua took the initiative to speak.

After all, being in Great Xia, despite being scorned by the black-clothed youth just moments ago, he chose to settle calmly and extend goodwill.

The youth in black clearly noticed his goodwill intention, showing a trace of a smile before nodding and introducing himself with a cupped fist, ”Jiangxia, Jiang Yiye!”

Not from Great Xia?

Hearing Jiang Yiye’s reply, the brothers instantly froze.

Seeing their surprised expressions, Jiang Yiye said playfully, ”You didn’t think the Martial Arts Pavilion could only be entered by Great Xia people, did you?”

As the brothers nodded hesitantly, Jiang Yiye laughed and continued, ”Your Chu Mountain made friends with Great Xia officially after May’s rebellion when the Mu Family took power. While we, Jiangxia and the northern Muyin Town, have been friends with Great Xia for over two years now. Many juniors from both towns have long entered the Martial Arts Pavilion...”

He then added, ”It’s not only entering the pavilion for cultivation. From what I know, many juniors from both towns are already living in Xia City.”

After a moment of reflection, Mu Yunhua and his brother quickly understood.

Five days ago, when they left Chu Mountain for Xia City, their eldest granduncle Mu Longhe had told them that after this Martial Arts Competition, they wouldn’t need to return to Chu Mountain but would move directly into the Mu Mansion in the Inner City.

At the time, they were puzzled as to why Great Xia would allow people from other towns to settle in Xia City. Now it seems, not only their Chu Mountain, but many from Jiangxia and Muyin towns have long settled in Xia City.

Recalling the sights and experiences upon entering Xia City five days ago, Mu Yunhua wasn’t surprised at all by juniors from the two towns living in Xia City.

Not to mention Xia City’s bustling prosperity, let’s talk about the astonishingly low-priced various materials, Beast Meat, Beast Blood, refined salt, Spiritual Wine, Dan Medicine, and a series of cheap cultivation resources...

Anyone with even the slightest sense would choose to settle here.

Especially considering their current location, the Martial Arts Pavilion.

Mu Yunhua possesses Top-grade Battle Body Qualification; his cultivation talent is outstanding.

But if it were in the past, hearing someone claim a 20,000-jin increase in basic strength within five days would have him consider them mad.

Yet now, he can’t help but believe, as after five days of cultivation in the Martial Arts Pavilion, his basic strength indeed increased by over 20,000 jin.
