C20 The Jianghu in the Restaurant

The Jianghu in the restaurant.

Staring at the bright surroundings and slowly exhaling the foul air from his chest, Ao Lingchen blinked his eyes and stood up from his meditation. He shrugged his shoulders and shook his waist, stretching his waist comfortably.

Feeling the abundant Yuan Qi in his body, he muttered to himself with some surprise, "This Creation Spell is indeed powerful. If this continues, I'm afraid I will soon step into the mid stage of martial artist."

Although cultivation was somewhat dull and boring, it was nothing in front of Ao Lingchen, who could not see any hope in the past, who could cultivate with all his might.

The decline of Ao family, the betrayal, and the bullying of the weak made him deeply understand the importance of strength in this world.

This was a world where strength reigned supreme. Only by possessing great strength could one change everything and control one's own future.

Although his cultivation base was still weak, he could cultivate now. At the very least, he had a glimmer of hope.

"I don't need to consume too much of my mental energy, but my physical energy consumption isn't small either. Now isn't the time to cultivate the Brutal Beast Fist!"

Ao Lingchen clearly remembered that the Brutal Beast Fist he just obtained was also a martial skill that consumed a lot of physical energy. If he were to cultivate it in his current condition, he was afraid that he would die of exhaustion.

The urgent matter at hand was to find a place to eat. Only by eating and drinking enough would he have a better condition to cultivate.

It was not far from Twilight City from here. Even if the sky was dark and there was a light rain falling from the sky, it would only take him an hour to return to the city.

Within Twilight City, Guang Yun Restaurant!

The hungry Ao Lingchen hurriedly came down and ordered a large table of dishes. He did not care about his image and started to eat like a tornado.

This Guang Yun Restaurant was just an ordinary restaurant in the Twilight City, so the cost was not considered high.

In the past, Ao Lingchen would never come to this kind of restaurant to eat. After the decline of Ao family, the wealth of his family had been taken away by many aristocratic families. He only had a small amount of money left.

Ao Lingchen, who had lost most of his money, usually ate very simply, and he didn't have any money to spend. A restaurant like Guang Yun Restaurant, which used to look old-fashioned, had never been here except for the holidays.

Today, because his cultivation base had increased greatly, Ao Lingchen was in a good mood, and went straight to the restaurant.

The food in Guangyun Restaurant was not very delicious, but it was heavy. In addition, these dishes could provide a portion of nutrition, so they were also welcomed by many cultivators.

The reason Ao Lingchen chose to eat here, apart from filling his stomach and celebrating, was also because he wanted to find out what major events had happened in the Pugilistic World recently.

In Guang Yun Restaurant, other than Ao Lingchen who was eating like a tornado, everyone else was eating while talking. What surprised them was that everyone who ate here wore weapons. There were sabers and swords, spears and shields.

These people looked full of energy and were breathing raggedly.

"I heard that the young master of the Ye family has successfully challenged the famous swordsman, Mu Yundao. He has severely injured an older generation expert, and is known as the young Saber King."

"I've also heard about him. It's said that his blade technique is extremely sharp, just like a ghost. It only took him ten moves to defeat Mu Yundao. I don't think he's afraid of the Mu Clan. I'm afraid he'll kill him."

"Ye Gaoxiong is indeed powerful, but the Mu Family isn't easy to deal with. I heard that a genius from the Mu Family has broken through to the Peak of Martial Master and will come to the Twilight City to humiliate the elders of the family."

"Although he is a genius of the Mu Family and has broken through to the Peak of Martial Master, how could he be a match for Ye Gaoxiong? How could the Tianwu Academy be so simple?"

The surrounding discussions caused Ao Lingchen's brows to twitch. His facial expression changed, and the image of Ye Gaoxiong appeared in his mind. He recalled all the things he had heard about Ye Gaoxiong.

Ye Gaoxiong was the eldest son and grandson of the Ye family. His talent was astonishing, and he was reputed to be the future successor of the Ye family. He had his own understanding of saber techniques, and he had added several types of saber techniques to his own understanding. In the end, the power was even greater than before, and it was extremely terrifying. The Tianwu Academy was ranked among the top, awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring!

Mu Yundao, an older generation blade artist of the Mu Family. His cultivation had already broken through to the Martial Master Late Period, and his blade technique had shaken the entire area within a hundred miles. Even an older generation blade artist like him had been defeated.

The Mu Family wasn't a family of the Twilight City. They were the overlords of the nearby Xuyang City. Their power wasn't any weaker than the Ye family. No one knew how terrifying this family's hidden genius was. However, after Mu Yundao was defeated, he dared to cross the city. No one was allowed to look down on him.

To the current Ao Lingchen, these two were unreachable existences, but he didn't think that he would be inferior to them in the future.

"When will I become a martial master?" The top geniuses within a hundred mile radius had all stepped into the Martial Master realm. The strength of a martial artist couldn't even withstand a single blow from these people. The only way to compete with these people was to become a Martial Master!

Although Ao Lingchen's current strength was inferior to these people, he did not doubt his potential at all. The only reason he was inferior to them was because he had started late.

Being late did not mean that he could not catch up to them. There was a saying that went, A great man comes late. Ao Lingchen firmly believed that he would be able to overtake them very soon and become an existence they looked up to.

He felt a little melancholy in his heart as he drank his wine. Suddenly, one of the rugged men opened his mouth and said, "The Tianwu Academy's annual examination is in a month. How many dark horses do you think will rise this time? This year is not an ordinary year. It is also an opportunity for the Essence Sword Sect to recruit disciples every three years. "

"I don't know what the dark horses will be like, but I think the ten people who can enter the Tianwu's Wind and Cloud Ranking will have a chance to join the Essence Sword Sect."

"I agree with what you said. The top ten geniuses of Tianwu Academy are all monstrous geniuses. Their strength isn't any weaker than those of the older generation. They might be able to join the Essence Sword Sect."

An old man who looked like a storyteller chuckled when he heard the mention of the Essence Sword Sect. "You all are thinking too naturally. Although the Tianwu Academy is the most powerful academy within a hundred miles of us, it's only natural. However, in the entire kingdom, it is only a third-rate power. The strictness of recruiting disciples in the Essence Sword Sect is far beyond your imagination. According to me, being able to recruit one or two disciples is already considered lucky. "

"So exaggerated?" He heard the storyteller's words. The surrounding people perked up their ears. Ao Lingchen, who was beside them, was also listening attentively.

"That's right, it's just that exaggerated. One should know that for the entire kingdom, geniuses are like a white tiger crossing a river. There are countless of them. The geniuses recruited by the Essence Sword Sect are all geniuses amongst geniuses, the monstrous geniuses of the monstrous genius!"

When the old storyteller mentioned the rules of the Essence Sword Sect's recruitment, a nostalgic look emerged in his eyes, as if he was reminiscing about that scene.

"Let's not talk about it anymore. Only those who go to the Imperial City have the right to know about the matters of the Essence Sword Sect. Otherwise, if we know too much, it will only make us feel depressed. Let's continue the topic of which dark horse will emerge from the Tianwu this year!"

As if he had thought of some bad past, the old storyteller frowned slightly, and a meaningful light flashed across his eyes. Then, he changed the topic and turned it back to the dark horse of the Tianwu Academy.
