Chapter 261 - Day Of The Recruitment

It was the first recruitment day of Jiu Shen’s Heavenly Sword Tower.

The announcement of this recruitment was so abrupt, but the area around the tower was already packed with a huge number of young elites from all over the Profound Dragon Continent.

The Silver Wing Empire became the focus of the whole continent because of this event and those that initially wanted to attack it immediately ceased their movements. Who would dare to attack the empire that was under the protection of Jiu Shen?

The Blue Fang Empire who was about to show its claws also recalled its troops after hearing about Jiu Shen’s prowess.

"To think that I would actually meet an acquaintance here. It is good to see you here, Brother Zhu!" Liu Mengdi greeted when he saw a familiar face among the crowd.

Zhu Ren turned his head around and was pleasantly surprised to see Liu Mengdi. He then smiled back in response and said. "Oh, so it is Young Master Liu!"

This Zhu Ren was one of the final eight participants of the Annual Martial Arts Contest. His name became even more popular after his great display of skill in the art of spearmanship during the contest.

"How have you been, Brother Zhu? I heard that a lot of sects invited you to join their ranks, but you refused all of them." Liu Mengdi said, feeling a bit intrigued.

Zhu Ren shook his head and replied. "None of those sects caught my eyes, and I just can’t picture out myself following those so-called top sects. I want to practice my spearmanship to its peak and my instincts are telling me that this is the place where I should be."

Liu Mengdi was a bit surprised by Zhu Ren’s dream. Everyone knew how hard it was to train the spear, but this young man in front of him does not even look bothered about it. A feeling of admiration suddenly rose from his heart as he looked at Zhu Ren.

"Hahah! With your skills and talent, I am certain that you will gain the approval of the Heavenly Sword Tower! Come on! Let’s go and find the others before the recruitment starts!" Liu Mengdi laughed as he walked forward.

Zhu Ren did not even have the time to decline his offer so he had no choice but to follow Liu Mengdi. However, he also wanted to see the other participants in the martial arts contest.

"Brother Zhu, I heard that Young Master Beiming Chu will also apply here... I thought that guy would only stay in the Beiming Family’s manor and serve as a soldier of the empire, but it seems like he also has the same goal as you." Liu Mengdi whispered to Zhu Ren.

Zhu Ren’s ears perked up when he heard him mention that name.

Beiming Chu was also one of the final eight participants of that contest and everyone witnessed his wild way of fighting. He also managed to make ’that guy’ pull out his sword.

"Beiming Chu, a man who made Yang Zenke pull out his sword..." Zhu Ren muttered under his breath.

Liu Mengdi nodded his head and thought about that crazily strong youth. "Yang Zenke... He is training under Sect Master Jiu Shen. He should be here, right?"

"Ho! Isn’t this Young Master Liu Mengdi and Young Master Zhu?!" A cheeky voice suddenly drifted behind them, making both men unconsciously turn their heads around.

When they saw who the speaker was, their mouths suddenly twitched.

"Gre-Greetings, Your Highness, Princess Sylvia!" They both greeted stiffly.

Sylvia pouted and pointed at the two men as she grumbled. "You both don’t have to be formal with me! Especially you, Liu Mengdi! Don’t forget that you still owe me when I helped you that time at the store! Hmph!"

Liu Mengdi was tongue-tied when he heard her words. Zhu Ren was similarly speechless, but none of them dared to talk back to this little demoness.

Standing behind Princess Sylvia was Prince Dante. He stepped forward and tried to ease up the atmosphere. "It’s great to see you both here. Do you mind if we come with you?"

Zhu Ren opened his mouth and wanted to decline his offer, but he closed it back up when he saw Sylvia glaring at him.

Liu Mengdi secretly sighed and nodded his head with a bit of reluctance in his heart. He was worried that this little girl might again do something that would endanger them.

Thinking about it, Liu Mengdi prayed to the gods that nothing bad would happen.

"Don’t worry. I won’t let this little girl wander around without permission." Prince Dante assured them when he saw the look on their faces.

Princess Sylvia stuck her tongue out and harrumphed.

"Let’s go near the entrance of the tower. I saw the young elites of the Alliance going that way." Prince Dante’s words immediately made them interested.

They have heard a lot of the Alliance and it was said to be the foundation of the Profound Dragon Continent.

Many top cultivators and experts are among their ranks. The younger generation in the Alliance is also trained with a generous amount of resources and time, making them a step ahead of their peers.

Under the lead of Prince Dante, their small group went towards the entrance of the Heavenly Sword Tower.

Along the way, they met some of their friends and acquaintances, making their small group much bigger. They also met Beiming Chu and the others from the Beiming Family.

"We are finally here after that tiring training..." Han Sen said as he looked at the imposing sword tower ahead of them.

"According to Lord Hu, today is the recruitment day of master’s Heavenly Sword Tower. Some of the guys we met at that contest might be here." Yang Zenke said with glistening eyes.

Han Sen and the others nodded their heads at his words.

"Come here, you brats! Don’t let Sect Master Jiu Shen wait too long for you!" Hu Xiandao shouted at them.

"Yes, Lord Hu!" Yang Zenke and the rest immediately ran towards Hu Xiandao. They were excited to see Jiu Shen once again...
