Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 58 — Long Queue
"It's more different than I thought..." Zhou Yuan muttered softly looking at the situation in front of him.
The two had left Hana City a few days ago, after saying goodbye to the mayor, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Bing resumed their slightly delayed journey due to the conflict with the Eternal Snow earlier.
Jiang Qisha first left Hana city long before Zhou Yuan, the Moon Emperor had to rush to the capital to follow up on the deeds of the Eternal Snow.
When they reached the Green Bamboo Sect, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Bing were startled by the long queue of humans who wanted to enter the sect.
The Green Bamboo Sect was generally not this crowded every day but because of the great competition they held, the sect had now become more lively and lively.
Green Bamboo Sect was indeed established in a place far from the populated area, its existence was located near the bamboo mountain not far from the sect was located.
The bamboo mountain was the location where the competition was going to start, Zhou Yuan was able to see the mountain at its present founding location, it was located behind the sect.
"I heard that the Green Bamboo Sect invited many participants in this year's competition, seeing from the length of the queue it seemed like the news was indeed true." Zhou Yuan stroked his chin slowly.
The Green Bamboo Sect invited various younger generation warriors in the Moon Empire to join this competition. In addition to the gift is the orchid moon itself, there are various other gifts that will be given the sect both in the form of money and resources.
Zhou Yuan knew that the main prize of this competition was not the material but the popularity it gained.
Whoever will win later, the swordsman will be famous in the martial world including his name and background. The same reason why many people wanted to register in the competition held by the Green Bamboo Sect.
"Yuan'er, we'll have to wait a while here." Zhou Bing had no choice but for the two to come in line.
Zhou Yuan nodded. "Grandfather, Yuan understands."
The people lining up are those who want to join the competition list. There are various circles of them, ranging from warriors who come from a sect, noble families, a clan, to free warriors.
Those who apply must be under 20 years old, because the number of young people in this competition is very large then the Green Bamboo Sect will conduct an allowance selection to reduce its participants.
Just as Zhou Yuan and Zhou Bing were still queuing, from behind him, there suddenly came a person who was shouting out loud.
"Surge! Everyone move! This carriage is from the Xi Family, if you don't want to bring trouble, get out of the way immediately!"
A luxurious horse carriage moved at full speed and split the queue, the one who shouted out loud earlier was the coachman of the carriage.
Without thinking about the person waiting in line in front of him, the coachman continued to advance his speed without reducing it in the slightest, some people who did not have time to avoid being hit by the train.
There was a man inside the carriage, who was about nineteen years old, had a beautiful face and exuded an aura of charisma. Currently he was holding a fan while looking at the waiters who were hit by his train.
Without any meaningful concern even while smiling cynically, the man from the Xi Family kept asking his coachman to keep on going, while those queuing in front of him had no choice but to shift and let the carriage pass.
The warriors in line were not unable to stop the carriage but they were unwilling to deal with the Xi family who were one of the noble families.
Zhou Yuan sighed seeing the conduct of the Noble Family, his arrogance towards ordinary people was really too looked down upon.
Members of the Nobles Family were educated differently when they were children, taught manners and humility but sometimes prideful feelings could not be separated from the human heart.
Family and environmental factors are triggers of a person's character can be formed, the problem is that the Royal Family does not always lead its people because of respect, some of them are leaders because they are feared.
The Xi family was one of those noble families, as their great military strength made most of its members bigger heads even assuming that they were different from other humans.
Zhou Yuan could have stopped the carriage but thinking of his grandfather and family, it was better that he did not attract unnecessary trouble.
"The Xi family is really arrogant, can they always act as they please everywhere!"
"Right, the noble families now are indeed only arrogant people, because their posts assume higher than ours."
Zhou Yuan heard the few people in front of him who were annoyed by the actions of that noble family, they were from a big sect, furious at the Xi Family's behavior.
In fact in the martial world, the Noble Family was indeed more respected than the people in the sect. Other than because of their strength, the influence of the noble family was huge and vast.
"Hard the Xi Family sent their most talented child in this competition, it seemed like the person inside the carriage was Xi Yan." Zhou Bing knew someone who was on the carriage.
"Xi Yan's? Does Grandpa know her?"
Zhou Bing nodded before explaining that Xi Yan was the son of the current Chairman of the Xi Family, saying Xi Yan was a younger generation swordsman who had reached the golden realm before the age of 20.
Zhou Yuan had briefly measured the strength of that person named Xi Yan by a few seconds, indeed his level was already at the Early Stage Golden Realm.
In the martial world, those who were said to be talented, could generally reach the Golden Realm warriors in their 20-30s and above. While for those whose talents are ordinary, can reach the swordsman of the Golden Realm in the age of 30-50 years, it depends on the resources and exercises that are done.
Zhou Yao is one example of a talented swordsman who had reached the Golden Realm when he was 25 years old. In the martial world, it was very difficult to find.
Hearing that Xi Yan had managed to break through to the Golden Realm in his teens, it certainly made his name famous but to Zhou Yuan it was not too surprising to him.
After meeting with Xiao Rou, according to Zhou Yuan Xi Yan's talent could not be juxtaposed with that girl. Xiao Rou might still be in the Silver Realm now but he was currently only 15 years old.
Zhou Yuan was confident that with his development, Xiao Rou could reach the golden realm at the age of 17, faster than that male named Xi Yan.
Of course putting it all aside, Zhou Yuan's talent could not be juxtaposed with them since he had reached the golden realm at the age of 12.
If others knew of his achievements now, perhaps he would be famous in the Moon Empire or even in the entire Northern Mainland Continent.
