Eternal Sword

Chapter 338 Boasting about Haikou
Although it was a condition of exchange, Shen Che said it very politely, using the word "please" in a sincere tone, and did not put on a high-handed attitude just because of his status as a military leader.

Chen Tang had never heard of any battle of geniuses. It sounded like some so-called geniuses getting together to fight.

However, as the military leader of a country, why would Shen Che take such matters so seriously?
Shen Yu asked beside him: "Genius Battle? Isn't Brother Feng Xing here to help this time?"

Shen Che shook his head and said, "Feng Boyi, Feng Xing and his son have rebelled. They should have defected to Beihai State by now."

"what!"

Shen Yu exclaimed, with a look of disbelief on his face, muttering: "How could this happen, how could it be..."

She seemed to have thought of something and asked in a low voice: "Dad, is it because of the last marriage proposal? If I had agreed at that time, would this not have happened..."

"Yu'er, don't let your imagination run wild."

Shen Che saw that his daughter sounded a little self-blaming, so he said in a deep voice, "Feng Boyi has long had ulterior motives and has been exchanging letters with the Congyun clan of Beihai State. The last proposal was just an introduction and has nothing to do with you."

Shen Yu was a little depressed just now, but after thinking about it, she laughed again and said, "Dad, you really found the right person this time! Feng Xing left, but your daughter brought you back someone even more powerful!"

"If Brother Chen helps, we can definitely sweep away all the geniuses from the four countries!"

When Shen Che heard his daughter praising Chen Tang to the sky, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

Shen Che remained calm, his eyes flickering between Shen Yu and Chen Tang.

Shen Yu had known Chen Tang for less than a month, yet he took the initiative to bring him back and praised him so blindly. Could it be that he had a crush on him?

Mingyue Sanren did not mention Chen Tang much and was quite restrained.

As soon as Shen Yu came up, he made such a boast.

I have just experienced the Feng family proposing marriage and coveting the family business.

Shen Che couldn't help but think more.

Don’t let a wolf leave just as a tiger comes behind.

No matter what this person's level is, after the genius battle, send him away quickly and don't let Yu'er have any chance to contact him again.

Chen Tang, however, heard what Shen Yu said and shook his head, saying, "There are always people who are better than you, and there are always things better than you. It's hard to say that we can sweep everything."

It's not that he's being modest.

The main reason was that he had no idea about the genius battle and didn't know what the rules and regulations were involved.

Seeing Chen Tang's reaction, Shen Che nodded secretly and thought to himself, "This person has a relatively calm temperament. He became arrogant and conceited without being flattered by Yu'er."

"What is the Old Capital Genius Battle?"

Chen Tang asked.

Just as Shen Che was about to speak, Shen Yu pulled Chen Tang to sit aside and said, "Brother Chen, Sister Fairy, please sit down first. I will tell you something."

"Tianhuzhou has been in constant war and unrest for many years, and its population has dropped sharply. So ten years ago, the military leaders of the four countries came together and signed a 100-year armistice treaty, allowing the people of the four countries to recuperate and recover their vitality."

"During this period, every year, young geniuses from the four countries will gather in the old capital to hold a genius battle to determine the top ten geniuses of Tianhuzhou. The genius descendants of various martial arts schools, including the military leaders of the four countries, will be present."

Hearing this, Shen Che felt a little guilty.

He had originally planned to not go this year on the pretext of illness.

Shen Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, "It can be said that this is the biggest event in Tianhuzhou every year, bar none!"

Chen Tang was calm and asked, "What are the restrictions?"

"The only restriction is age."

Shen Yu said: "The Talent Competition is a competition for young people from the four countries. In order to ensure fairness, there are strict age restrictions. Participants cannot be over 20 years old."

Shen Che suddenly asked: "How old are you?"

"nineteen."

Chen Tang was just 19 after this year. But he was wearing makeup and looked like a man in his 30s or 40s, so Shen Che couldn't tell his real age.

Shen Che reminded: "You have to pay attention to this. Once you are over 20 years old, you will be disqualified. Before participating in the competition, there will be a strict age test. You can't fake it, even if it's more than a month or a day."

Chen Tang could tell that Shen Che was reminding him not to lie about his age.

He was indeed nineteen.

However, he was a little curious. Since there was no record of his birth in Tianhu Continent, how could he determine his real age?

Looking at a person's face can only give a rough estimate of their age, but it is impossible to make an accurate measurement.

Shen Yu seemed to see the doubt in Chen Tang's heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you will know after we get to the old capital."

Chen Tang asked again: "There are no restrictions on cultivation?"

"No."

Shen Yu said: "It depends on who has the highest cultivation and the strongest fighting ability before the age of 20. This is a genius."

Chen Tang nodded, this was indeed fair.

Shen Yu said: "In the past ten years, the top ten geniuses in each session have all reached the fifth level of cultivation. Brother Chen, you will definitely have no problem facing them."

"If it's only the fifth rank, then it really won't be a big problem..."

Chen Tang thought to himself.

Shen Che coughed lightly and said, "It's hard to say for this year. The three major families, Congyun, Amaterasu, and Yueye, each have a rare genius rising up in a century. It is said that it is very likely that they will break through the bottleneck and reach the fourth rank before the genius battle!"

Shen Yu didn't care at all and said casually: "What's wrong with the fourth rank? Brother Chen will just push it all the way."

Although she spent most of her time on the cargo ship a few days ago, she had learned a lot about Chen Tang's deeds in Qianzhu City.

It is said that Chen Tang killed more than two hundred middle-level hermits in Qianzhu City. Later on, no hermit dared to attack him!
Among so many hidden warriors, there must be a fourth-grade warrior.

In the territory of Hermit Continent, even a fourth-rank middle-rank hermit cannot kill Chen Tang. Even if the geniuses of the three major families reach the fourth rank, what can they do?

Shen Che frowned.

Yuer’s words became more and more exaggerated.

Chen Tang asked: "Will anyone reach the third rank?"

"impossible."

Shen Che shook his head and said, "Martial arts is not a joke. How is it possible for a 20-year-old to be a third-rank martial artist?"

In fact, this is exactly the case. Even if one is born into a famous family, has the guidance of a master, has endless resources for cultivation, and has been practicing since childhood, it is impossible to reach the third level before the age of twenty.

For example, Ye Yushi, as the number one on the human list, was already considered a top talent in the Nanxia martial arts world. Thanks to a miraculous encounter, he broke through to the third level of Tongmai at the age of just over 20.

Whether in the three states of the East China Sea, Shenzhou, or even in the entire Tianhu Continent, anyone who can break through to the fourth level before the age of 20 is considered a rare genius, and his future achievements are limitless.

Chen Tang asked, "The military commander asked me to fight in this genius battle. What rank do I need to get? First place?"

Shen Che was speechless.

First, you really dare to say that.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "No matter what place you get, after the genius competition is over, I will find someone to send you away from Tianhuzhou."

"I only have one condition."

After a pause, Shen Che's face darkened and he said, "If you have the chance, and you can fight Feng Xing, I hope you will go all out and kill this traitor!"

"it is good."

Chen Tang agreed.
