Chapter 732: Chapter Twenty-Six: Two Roads

“Brother, what’s going on?” Tang Xing looked confused, tugging at Tang Luo’s sleeve and asked, “Isn’t this the Longzhou Youth Martial Arts competition, but why are all the martial artists standing on the stage dressed in Martial Saint Mountain’s robes? Are they disciples of Martial Saint Mountain?”

Aside from Xiao Ziyu, Cui Haoran and Li Xuanba also wore disgruntled expressions. They were unafraid of battling against the scions of noble families, but the thought of facing disciples from the Martial Saint Mountain unnerved them. After all, every martial artist in Longzhou had grown up listening to the legend of the Martial Saint. Now, they had to confront the descendants and disciples of the Saint, and understandably, their fighting spirit suffered somewhat.

“Don’t worry, these are all outer disciples of Martial Saint Mountain.” Tang Luo glanced back at his three anxious teammates, comforting them: “Take a closer look at the ones on stage. They are at most twenty-five or twenty-six years old, their martial arts training experience is no different from yours. Some even have lower cultivation levels than you. Don’t be intimidated by the name ‘Martial Saint Mountain’.”

During the ascent, Tang Luo had kept his senses sharp to gather as much information as possible. The most significant piece of information he obtained was from overhearing Bu Xiao instructing these disciples on the hilltop.

It was because he had overheard this that he began to take the competition somewhat lightly. His initial goal was to catch a glimpse of the exquisite martial arts of Martial Saint Mountain however, facing a group of outer disciples, his motivation waned.

Despite that, as team leader, Tang Luo conscientiously shared the key points of this challenge with his teammates: “You all heard the referee just now. This stage is essentially testing the strength and weakness of the martial artists. The three-day period is enough for you to challenge dozens of stages. As long as your cultivation is not too weak, you can always find the relatively weaker link, defeating them to get a breakpoint and advancing to the second stage. But if you focus only on getting to the next stage, you will be at a disadvantage for the second stage.”

Martial arts is just so, the strong are always strong, while the weak are always weak. It’s not about talent or lineage, but about mastering every step to its utmost, getting stronger to the limit. All the trials related to quantity signify resources. Even if it’s their first time participating in this martial arts competition, Tang Luo is sure that the difference between entering the second round with a single breakout point and entering with a hundred is far more than just convenience suggested by the referee.
