Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1412 - 453: Three Town Youths—Who Is the Genius? Young Alliance Leader, a Standoff Between Two Breakthrough Seekers_4

”There’s no need to think about it, it’s either already decided to be Zhao Yuandao or someone else. Last year, Yuan Bai, who ranked in the top ten of the youth group, also reached the strength of 31 manes. Xiao Hen, Zhou Ying, Zhao Yuankong, Meng Qing, and Xiahou Qingqing, the weakest among them, is already at 29 manes.”

”Xiao Hen is Xiahou Qingqing’s husband, he’s 24 years old this year, and also has the strength of 31 manes, making him a strong contender for the championship.”

”This year, there’s no restriction on the Great Xia’s young disciples. My father said that if someone from the Outer Town can make it into the top one hundred, it would be like burning incense to the gods. I don’t have any other hopes; I just wish to break into the top one hundred.”

”Even making it into the top one hundred is a luxury!”

”How can there be so many talents in Great Xia?”

”What talents? There’s no such thing as talent in Great Xia. I’ve lived here for almost a year and haven’t seen anyone being labeled as a genius.”

”There are geniuses! Isn’t the young master one...”

.........

Mu Yunhua and Mu Yunshu were so shocked internally that they couldn’t hear what Jiang Yiye and the others were saying anymore.

They just now understood why Jiang Yiye paused when he mentioned the four words, ”Mu Family Twin Heroes.” He was probably laughing to himself.

”Your talents might be considered top-notch on Chui Mountain, but in Great Xia, they’re simply not enough. Just go to Xia City and participate in this year’s Martial Arts Competition to broaden your views! Don’t stay on Chui Mountain for too long, like a frog at the bottom of a well!”

In their minds, the words that their great-grandfather, Mu Longhe, said to them before coming to Xia City suddenly resurfaced, and they exchanged a glance, their faces full of wry smiles and helplessness.

When they heard these words just before setting off, they didn’t take them seriously, thinking that their great-grandfather was just deliberately trying to suppress them a little.

Now they truly understood that not only were the words not suppressive, but they were actually understated to maintain their dignity.

Putting aside the young disciples of Great Xia for the moment, just looking at these same-age folks from Jiangxia and Muyin Towns, they couldn’t even compare!

Zhao Yuandao, 23 years old, 32 manes of strength!

They should know that their fathers, the third generation of the Mu Family, with an average age between 50 to 60, currently only had a strength above 30 manes.

”Second Brother, should we just withdraw from the competition...”

Mu Yunshu suddenly spoke with a bitter face. He felt so defeated inside that he even had thoughts of withdrawing from the competition.

Mu Yunhua wasn’t much better off. Just the prowess of these young folks from Jiangxia and Muyin Towns made him feel hugely discouraged. Now, not to mention the idea of winning, he even began to worry about how he would explain to great-grandfather Mu Longhe if he couldn’t make it into the top one hundred.

Before departing from Chui Mountain, he had confidently promised that he would secure a good ranking to honor their great-grandfather.

”Withdrawing is impossible. Is Great Xia really this strong?”

The words from everyone indeed went beyond Mu Yunhua’s understanding. He refused his younger brother’s suggestion to withdraw and started to doubt whether Jiang Yiye and the others were lying.

”Could these people possibly be trying to scare me into quitting the competition?”

Mu Yunhua looked at Jiang Yiye and the others, his eyebrows furrowing tightly.

If Jiang Yiye and the others knew what Mu Yunhua was thinking at that moment, they would probably laugh out loud.

As Mu Yunhua’s suspicions brewed, Jiang Yiye and the others continued their conversation.

But just then, a commotion broke out on the third-floor Cultivation Field. Many people suddenly stopped their cultivation and quickly rushed downstairs.

One person passed it to ten, and ten to a hundred, and suddenly more than half the people on the third floor rushed downstairs.

”What’s going on?”

Jiang Yiye and the others naturally noticed this. The youngest and most curious, Murong Jiao, quickly stopped a middle-aged man to inquire.

”Uncle, it’s still far from dawn, why are you all going downstairs?”

”Apparently, the Second Prince is here and is practicing martial arts on the first floor. I have to hurry and take a look; I don’t even know what the prince looks like!”

The middle-aged man was evidently in a rush and barely responded to Murong Jiao as he hurried downstairs.”

Murong Jiao was initially taken aback but followed the middle-aged man downstairs.

The remaining people exchanged glances and quickly followed.

Although Mu Yunhua didn’t understand, his curiosity got the better of him. Plus, he had never heard of the title ”Second Prince,” so he joined the crowd and hurried downstairs.

”Brother Jiang, who is this Second Prince?”

Of course, during the descent, he didn’t forget to ask Jiang Yiye.

”The eldest son of the Lord, Xia Yusheng!”

Upon hearing this answer, the expressions of Mu Yunhua and his brother suddenly changed, and their curiosity soared to an extreme, immediately understanding the actions of the crowd.

If you had to pick the most legendary figure in the entire Nine Towns right now, it would undoubtedly be Lord Xia Hong of Great Xia.

Great Xia Lord, the paramount strength of Moao South Slope, Alliance Hierarch of the Nine Towns Alliance, and Sovereign of the Nine Towns of the South Slope. Among Xia Hong’s most important titles, the relative least weighty might be the Great Xia Lord.

Such a legendary figure’s offspring, especially the eldest son, would become the center of attention wherever they go; this is undeniable.

”It’s widely reported that Lord Xia Hong of Great Xia is not yet forty this year. To describe such a person as a genius is an understatement; his talent is probably second to none in the Ice Abyss. His son is estimated to be fifteen or sixteen this year, what kind of talent he must have...”

Mu Yunhua’s anticipation kept climbing, and he soon descended to the first floor along with the crowd. Fortunately, the Martial Arts Pavilion wasn’t just open to anybody, and although the first floor was crowded, he could still manage to squeeze in.
