Chapter 340 The Eight Vajra
living room.

Ye Yushi asked, "From what your father said, the four nations attach great importance to the Old Capital Genius Tournament, and even the military commander will be there in person."

Shen Yu nodded and said, "The Genius Battle is of great significance to the four countries. If a genius from any country can stand out in the battle, the country and martial arts school where the genius is located will attract more young people to come."

Chen Tang suddenly realized.

The Genius War is a great publicity opportunity for the four nations.

Due to years of war and a sharp decline in population, young people are the future of a country.

Chen Tang asked: "Are there no measures to restrict population movement between the four countries?"

Whether in Beiqian or Nanxia, ​​there are things like pass documents and travel permits. It is very difficult for ordinary people to leave their hometowns, let alone bring their families with them.

"How is this possible?"

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and said: "Although the four countries are at war, they are all Tianhu people after all. They can migrate freely on the land of Tianhuzhou. The military leader of a country cannot restrict them, otherwise it will cause panic and rejection among the people, and more people will flee."

"Under my father's rule, the people of Western Sichuan lived a relatively affluent life, with little pressure, and the people were simple and open-minded, so some people chose to live in Western Sichuan."

"However, the talented young people in Tianhuzhou will still choose the other three countries in order to practice stronger martial arts."

Chen Tang had heard Shen Yu mention that the other three kingdoms were all established by families that guarded sacred artifacts and had some connection with legendary gods.

He doesn't care about things like the sea god or the sun god.

Most of the time, it is just some strong people who have cultivated to the peak and used some methods beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, so everyone worships them as gods.

As for the magical artifact, it should be the weapon left by these powerful people in this world.

Ye Yushi asked: "Are the so-called three great artifacts really that powerful?"

"awesome!"

Shen Yu nodded seriously and said, "The three great artifacts all contain mysterious powers. When we arrive in the old capital, every contestant will have the opportunity to get close to one of the artifacts."

"The reason why the three major families are so powerful is because their martial arts techniques and secret martial arts all originate from the three great artifacts."

"In the past ten years, the top five in every genius competition have all been from the three major families. Therefore, many talented young people want to join the three major families and practice the secret skills passed down by the artifacts."

"This year, my father finally trained Feng Xing, who had a chance to make it into the top five, but I didn't expect..."

Mentioning this, Shen Yu sighed lightly.

Ye Yushi asked again: "Besides Feng Xing, are there no other young people who can fight?"

"Gone."

Shen Yu said: "There are also some young men in the army who are ready to join the war, but they are far behind Feng Xing. It seems that only one of them has just cultivated his Qi sense and has not yet entered the fifth rank."

At first glance, it sounds incredible.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Over the past ten years, the other three countries have dominated the battle of geniuses, and all the talented young people in Tianhu Continent have been attracted there, so the remaining ones are naturally much worse.

For the Kingdom of Western Sichuan, this is a vicious cycle.

These young people who have made their mark in the genius battle have unlimited potential and will surely become pillars of the country and martial arts masters in the future.

In the long run, the strength of the three kingdoms will continue to grow.

The situation in western Sichuan was just the opposite.

I'm afraid that in less than a hundred years, the State of Western Sichuan will be on the verge of collapse.

Shen Yu said: "Father thinks highly of Feng Xing and taught him martial arts for three years. Even Uncle Sanren taught him a set of Fu Hu Quan. Their betrayal this time must have been a huge blow to father. Fortunately, Brother Chen helped this time."

As they were talking, there was a noise outside.

The three looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in his early twenties, wearing a spotless white brocade robe, walking towards them with his head held high and chest puffed out, looking very proud.

Behind this man were eight young guards. Judging from their steps, they all had some experience in martial arts and had a good foundation.

"Cousin?" Shen Yu frowned when he saw the person coming, and a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes.

Shen Yu whispered to Chen Tang and the others, "His name is Shen Yuanjie, my fourth uncle's son, eight years older than me."

Chen Tang and Ye Yushi noticed the changes in Shen Yu's brows, looked at each other, and remained calm.

"Ha ha!"

Before the visitor even entered the room, he laughed loudly and said affectionately, "Yu'er, I haven't seen you for nearly a month. I heard that you came back from Hermit Island, so I came to see you."

When Shen Yuanjie saw Chen Tang and Ye Yushi when he led them to the reception room, he could not help but frown and shouted, "Where did this ugly village woman come from?"

That Bauhinia grandmother's skills in disguise and makeup are truly amazing.

Not only did Chen Tang and Ye Yushi's appearance change, but even their attire changed drastically.

It seemed that Chen Tang was wearing three-quarter shorts with torn edges and some mud and sand on them, revealing a large part of his tanned ankles. It was obvious that he was a laborer who had been doing hard labor for many years.

Ye Yushi had long lost the temperament of the Jade Flute Fairy, and now looked like a country woman.

"Cousin, don't talk nonsense!"

Shen Yu immediately stood up and scolded: "They are friends I know."

"Fuck me!"

Shen Yuanjie couldn't help but curse, his face full of disgust, and he pouted: "Yu'er, what kind of people do you know? Aren't you ashamed?"

Cursing under his breath, Shen Yuanjie found a seat near the door, trying to stay away from Chen Tang and Ye Yushi.

“They are very nice people.”

Shen Yu was not polite either, and said: "Besides, what kind of friends I make is none of your business."

Shen Yuanjie rolled his eyes and asked casually, "By the way, Yu'er, did your trip to Hermit Island go smoothly?"

"It went pretty smoothly."

Shen Yu replied indifferently.

Shen Yuanjie's eyes flickered, he touched his nose, and asked again: "I heard that there are hermits everywhere over there, and there are assassinations every day. Have you encountered any?"

Chen Tang's heart moved.

This question seemed to be concerned, but it was a bit strange to ask.

Even in the Hermit Continent, hermits will not kill people randomly.

Unless someone issues a bounty mission for Shen Yu.

Shen Yu had just returned, but Shen Yuanjie seemed to have known about this in advance.

Ye Yushi was sitting next to Shen Yu. Shen Yuanjie had just finished asking, and she gently touched Shen Yu's arm while serving tea.

Shen Yu subconsciously looked at Ye Yushi.

Ye Yushi winked and shook his head gently while blowing the hot steam from the teacup.

Shen Yu didn't quite understand what Ye Yushi meant, but she was very smart. She didn't answer Shen Yuanjie, but asked back: "Why are you asking these questions?"

"what!"

Shen Yuanjie laughed and said, "Nothing, I'm just worried about you. By the way, we just talked about making friends, let me introduce you to eight friends I know."

As he spoke, Shen Yuanjie turned sideways and looked at the eight people behind him, and said proudly: "These eight people are all under 20 years old, and they are known as the Eight Vajra in the martial arts world!"

The so-called Eight Vajras are just names he gave them, but they sound extraordinary.

Shen Yu was not interested in the Eight Vajras. He just raised his hand and clasped his fists as a greeting.

Shen Yuanjie added: "The genius battle is about to begin. I came to see you and brought them here. I just went to the army to spar with those young men who were preparing to join the battle. I didn't expect... Alas!"
