The Spirit World

Chapter 552 Are you six years old? I am not.

The Dragon Assembly represents an absolute tilt towards educational resources. If you don’t understand the importance of education, if you didn’t understand it before but now you understand it, that’s great. If you don’t understand, then don’t try to understand it, because it is often the most sober people who suffer the most.

"You know what I mean? The duels in the Dragon Assembly these days may seem like a child's fight, but to a great extent, they almost determine where they will go and where they will receive education. The strongest person in each group wins, which is the kindest and fairest way. Nothing else." Erica held Elaine and walked towards her own summoning group: "Because if you realize that the rules of this world are dark, then the darkness hidden behind the rules may be dozens of times darker. If it is related to money, it may be dozens of times darker."

Erica was reminding Chang Yufeng to be careful, and Chang Yufeng could still hear it.

He walked beside Erica, his black clothes not conspicuous among all the strange costumes.

Rajel and Aminna were chatting with another unfamiliar farmer whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

Rules are dead, people are alive. This sentence is a good excuse to break the rules. Since this sentence has been circulated for a long time, the subconscious breaking of rules has become unscrupulous and even infuriating.

Of course, the rules themselves are neutral, because only by adding a good or bad in front of the rules can we define whether they are good or bad. This is understandable, but sometimes it is really nonsense.

People who break the rules will probably be severely punished, but the losses caused by this person's breaking of the rules may not be recoverable.

For example, someone shot a hidden arrow, someone tripped the opponent up, someone bribed the referee, and someone did whatever he wanted.

Of course, he believed that he had almost no intersection with this world that he was completely unfamiliar with, but among the opponents he would meet next, there would not be someone who would make him lose the game unexpectedly.

They are only six years old... If they can do such things at such a young age, what will happen to them when they grow up?

However, if you encounter it... then it is bound to be more trouble than gain. It is never wrong to be cautious, especially when you are standing in front of others.

"Money makes the world go round. Money makes the world go round. If you have money, don't ask for advice. If you have no money, there is no advice." Erica sang this little song softly and pushed Elaine upwards, making her fat body turn upwards. Elaine looked forward with her big eyes and was carried into the stage of the summoning group.

Only Chang Yufeng was left.

Chang Yufeng touched his face and turned away. He saw two women with slender waists and gorgeous clothes bumping into him head-on. Chang Yufeng's head hit the belly of the woman in green, and they touched softly. Chang Yufeng hurriedly bowed his head to apologize and said he was sorry. He saw a weasel standing in front of him, winking at him.

"Kid, walk carefully."

"Da Huang, she's just a child. Please be polite." Chang Yufeng looked up and saw the mask on the waist of another woman who was traveling with him. It was a fiery red fox mask, which was extremely weird. When he wanted to see the woman's face again, he was blocked by the leaping weasel. He could only see the back of the woman with black hair.

"Did you bump into me?" The woman in green looked at her with a smile. Chang Yufeng was too embarrassed to look at her face again.

The incident of hitting the girl's belly made him lower his head, blush, and stammer: "No...no..."

"That's good, that's good. You are from the swordsman group, right?" The green dress was like a light gauze. Chang Yufeng was thinking that this woman must be extremely beautiful. If she was not a great beauty, how could she dare to wear such a light gauze-like dress?
"Yes, yes." Chang Yufeng lowered his head and only saw the mottled branches on the green skirt, which were huge, crisscrossed with green vitality.

This skirt looks extraordinarily beautiful at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it is indeed like a towering tree, stretching endlessly.

"work hard."

"it is good."

Although Chang Yufeng would laugh at his own shyness when he thought about it, he certainly did not raise his head to look at the two women in gorgeous clothes.

He was also wearing a black robe... Could it be that he was so tolerant because he thought he met a fellow countryman?
He looked at their backs as they left and touched the back of his head. It was as if it was a joke of fate. He was thinking about being careful and alert, but suddenly he bumped into someone, lost his mind, and was a little panicked.

He walked into the venue with his head held high and his chest puffed out. He looked around at the children of his age, all accompanied by their parents. He couldn't help but feel that he was really amazing, as he could come alone to such an important competition.

Those children were indeed nervous, some even cried, and the people who were making noises were panicking, but most of them showed their nervousness outwardly. Some rubbed their hands, some touched their heads, some looked at their toes, and some looked at others.

Chang Yufeng is the type who looks at others.

Of course, there are also those who don’t look at others.

A boy who was about the same height as him stood in front of him. He had golden hair and a badge of a lion roaring to the sky on his blue clothes. Next to his angular and handsome face, he looked seriously at the compartment that served as the arena, without showing any expression.

I couldn't even feel the breath. This kind of tranquility was totally out of place.

The more he looked unusual, the more Chang Yufeng stared at him, and the more he stared at him, the more he felt that he was unusual. He had some minor injuries on his body, which could be seen as the scars from being whipped, and they could not be covered up, so he simply did not cover them up.

Chang Yufeng himself had a big injury of this kind, which was caused by Elaine's bite on his right arm. The wound was too deep and it was estimated that it would take a lifetime to heal.

Chang Yufeng moved closer to him, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that this man was handsome and cool, with a strange kind of handsomeness.

Among so many people of his age, he was the only one who was so calm. The calmer he was, the more panicked Chang Yufeng became.

If I were to go up against such a calm person, would I have a chance of winning?
I feel that this boy is much more superior to me just from his calm aura.

The boy didn't care at all that he was being watched, and stood with great dignity, which made Chang Yufeng hold his head high and chest out, and stand with his hands behind his back.

In comparison, the other children seemed mediocre and timid. It cannot be said that they did not train hard, but they did not have the concept of the importance of education. If they knew that their future achievements would be largely determined by the hard work of these few days, perhaps more than half of the 100 children in the swordsman group would be very calm and hardworking. If they knew the importance but still did not train calmly to strive for a good ranking, they would most likely be losers, which is understandable. But if they blame the heaven and earth and blame their fate, that would be a laughing stock.

In the final analysis, the difference in educational resources is cruel. Without sugarcoating or making it look tragic, presenting facts and reasoning is not as terrifying as experiencing it personally.

The first person Chang Yufeng fought against was a cool little girl with a ponytail... At first, Chang Yufeng's mind was full of questions. Why didn't girls learn some easy magic when a girl was fighting him so hard? At that time, the girl slashed Chang Yufeng horizontally and almost knocked him out of the arena.

In each of the hexagonal arenas, Chang Yufeng was even met with boos, but the girl won a standing ovation.

Perhaps because she felt it was too embarrassing, Chang Yufeng became serious and launched continuous attacks and slashes, making the girl unable to resist and defeated. At this time, Chang Yufeng still did not win applause, but everyone felt sorry that such a hard-working little female swordsman lost the first game.

Chang Yufeng understood.

He finally came to his senses.

Although he felt that he had forgotten Erica's teachings - to be extremely cautious, it was not too late to make up for it. He easily defeated his second round opponent, a little boy wearing glasses.

"That kid suddenly got ruthless." The weasel shouted in disbelief as he stood on the king's shoulder.

"It shows that he is really strong. He was just pretending in the first round." Chun was eating a string of candied haws, biting one and chewing it vigorously.

"Pretending? Not really..." The King agreed with Da Huang: "He was almost chopped down in the last round... If it was a formal duel, where would you have the time to be distracted? He would have been chopped to pieces a long time ago."

"Don't make it sound so scary, it's just a children's game, just playing house, just have fun watching it." Chun bit down another one fiercely.

"That's right... if you take it seriously you'll lose... humans... fight over and over for fame and fortune, to the death, and have a lot of fun." The king leaned back in his chair leisurely and stopped watching the game.

"It's the same with demons..."

"Exactly the same."

"However, you don't understand the principles of dealing with things. You keep talking in human terms. What you know about worldly principles must be superficial. After all, our pursuits are different." Chun put away the bamboo stick and put it into his sleeve.

"You asked me to accompany you to watch the children's competition..." The king blinked unconvincedly: "You are disgusted with me..."

"I don't despise you, I don't despise you. How could I despise you?" Chun put her hands on the king's waist and hugged him, causing the king to fall into her arms unexpectedly.

"Go, stop disturbing me from watching the game." The king put his hand on Chun's hand with disdain, pulled it apart, and went back to watch the match below. "One hundred candied haws, I think he will win the championship." Chun also sat up straight, grabbed a string of candied haws from somewhere, and continued to eat.

"Who? Which group?" The king looked at Chun and became interested.

"The one you talked about with Da Huang. I think he will be the champion of the swordsman category."

"It's hard to say..." Da Huang pointed at the stage, where a serious-looking blond boy made the opponent's boy surrender with just one horizontal slash.

"That boy is very strong. I feel like he has a different aura."

Da Huang scratched his side. "He should be able to beat the little boy you mentioned. He is too lazy... That Jack is a little too lazy."

"His name is Jack?" The king looked at the boy who had already stepped down from the stage. Indeed, people with a serious face, or even someone who only had the winning in their eyes, were very scary.

"Well, this one is called Hall." Da Huang answered the king.

"Okay, one hundred candied haws."

Chang Yufeng looked at his parents in the stands making cheering gestures for him, and to be honest, he didn't feel happy at all.

Erica asked him to be alert at all times, but he didn't seem to be that alert. For some reason, he was a little panicked.

It was strange, Erica's words had the opposite effect. Not only was he suspicious, but he was also a little too cautious.

It was so ugly that his fighting was very ugly. He would pause after each slash, for fear of being hit by some hidden weapon.

He still doesn't know what kind of hidden weapons the child will use...

Darts? Hidden arrows? Poison darts? Marbles? Lime powder? No way...

Is such a young child so sinister and vicious? Is his parents teaching him such vicious things?
The first three opponents were fine, I was indeed too suspicious, but this Rock Neymar...will there be any trouble?

Chang Yufeng went up to the ring carrying his novice sword. Looking at Locke who had been waiting there for a long time, he felt a little uneasy.

He didn't know why he was panicking. The more people of his age he eliminated, the more his strength was revealed, and the greater the chance of getting into trouble.

I'm not afraid of being stupid or bad, I'm afraid of being both stupid and bad.

Generally, a hidden weapon injury will be discovered once checked, and the winner will be disqualified even if he wins. The only thing we are afraid of is that stupid and bad people will take the risk even though they know it will happen. If the lime powder is really sprinkled on the eyes, not to mention blindness, the winner will not be able to participate in the next competition, which will delay his life. Even if he participates, his strength will decline, leaving him with regrets.

Then... the beast was punished, and you were also, irreparably harmed.

The gain outweighs the loss, and the gain outweighs the loss.

If something bad really happens, you are the one who suffers and others are the one who is happy.

So when he noticed Roque Neymar taking his hands out of his pockets, his heart skipped a beat.

When Locke picked up the sword and wiped the blade with his hand, Chang Yufeng's heart skipped a beat.

If someone doesn't know you, they might think you were testing out your sword. Who knows if there's any mystery behind this ordinary move?

Chang Yufeng secretly smacked his lips.

You really need to be careful... If you don't pay attention and get tricked, you won't even know how you died.

If Erica hadn't reminded him, he would have thought that he was also testing the sword and would have started a fight. He would have been injured, poisoned, defeated, or even died.

So, who will try the poison on the sword?
Anyway, Chang Yufeng won’t try, so whoever wants to try can try.

"Look at you, you're very nervous." Locke looked at the inscription on the novice sword, pressed the inscription lightly with his thumb, held the sword upright with both hands, and began to assume a fighting posture.

"Ah... I guess so... If you can just surrender and lose to me, I won't be nervous." Chang Yufeng wiped his face quickly, stood in a horse stance, stood side by side with his sword, looked at Locke, and sneered casually.

No, this was not a mockery, but a sincere hope that Locke would surrender.

It’s better not to fight, as he is afraid that someone will kill him because of such a small matter.

Hey! You are only six years old... Why are you so vicious? You even used some secret tricks.

"Heh..." Locke sneered and was about to rush over.

Compared to Erica's charge, Locke's charge was simply too funny in Chang Yufeng's eyes.

【Wow～】

The shadowless flame immediately appeared in his hand. Chang Yufeng carried the fire with one hand and charged with the sword in the other. With Erica's training, Locke's kung fu, which seemed to be mediocre, was obviously not good enough.

With a muffled sound, the black flame burst into life. Chang Yufeng attached the Shadowless Flame to the sword and pushed it hard. With a "Duang" sound, the two swords collided directly with each other.

A novice sword usually cannot hurt people because of the magic blessing.

But, it's just average.

Because of the magical protection, the novice sword cannot function as a sharp weapon.

However, this time, the impact of the sword directly numbed Chang Yufeng's hand, and Chang Yufeng's sword was buzzing in resonance.

Chang Yufeng subconsciously retracted his sword at a very fast speed, leaned sideways using the force to fall away, and immediately jumped back to create distance between himself and Locke.

I have fought three times. Even if I have fought less, I have never been shocked before. Can a novice sword send out such a fierce shock?

He looked at the referee in surprise, only to see that the referee was looking at his own nails, perhaps not even looking at him.

Although it is easy to distinguish this level of vibration because my hands are shaking, it is difficult to see clearly on the stage. If you see it, you see it. If you don’t see it, it’s just a fleeting movement. When the two swords are separated, who can see the vibration?

There's something wrong with the inscription on that novice sword.

"qi——" Chang Yufeng clicked his tongue and stood up straight.

I clenched my fists, not knowing what to say.

I had no choice but to silently summon the Shadowless Flame again.

Looking at the rising flames, Chang Yufeng threw the sword directly to the ground. The novice sword fell to the ground with a clang, and the crowd was in an uproar, and the atmosphere was boiling.
