Chapter 176 - Fighting For the Warrior Title

The Xiongnu sacrificial ceremony was completed.

The battle of the tribe’s strongest warrior had begun!

The contestants were all Xiantian masters, and they were all younger than 18 years old.

This was also how the Xiongnu people ensured their bloodline and wolf nature.

In comparison, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty lived too comfortably and lacked a fierce temperament.

As Lia’s Master, He Chuan sat in the seat right below Chanyu Tetumtan.

In fact, he had no interest in this kind of thing, but it was difficult to refuse such kindness.

Lia kept begging him to come over because today was the day of her competition.

Tetumtan really doted on Lia and was willing to let her participate in the battle for the best warrior of the tribe.

He probably just wanted her to have fun.

“Young Master, do you think Sister Lia can win?” Cai Lian looked at the Xiongnu experts and then turned to look at Lia’s thin body.

They were simply not on the same level.

“That would depend on whether she slacked off in her cultivation.” He Chuan’s divine sense swept across all the participants.

They were about the same level as Lia.

In this case, it would depend on whose basic skills were the most solid.

Lia’s cultivation technique was taught by He Chuan, so she was naturally better than others. However, she was now like Cai Lian in the past, lacking actual combat experience.

Therefore, it was hard to say who would win.

“Mister He Chuan, my daughter is improving rapidly under your guidance. I am very pleased!” Tetumtan said with a smile.

He was more and more optimistic about He Chuan. Especially that bottle of mysterious elixir, which allowed Lia’s progress to be extremely fast.

No one knew where this mysterious expert came from.

Based on all the signs, they did not seem to have ill intentions toward the Xiongnu people, and they were not spies.

This made Tetumtan gradually lower his guard, and he even had the intention of matchmaking Lia and He Chuan.

They wanted to tie the enemy to the Xiongnu war chariot.

“Princess Lia is willing to suffer. I’m just giving her some appropriate guidance.” He Chuan didn’t know what was on Tetumtan’s mind.

Even if he knew, he would just laugh it off. Be it the Great Zhou Emperor or the Xiongnu King; they were all equal in his eyes.

Wooing didn’t exist for him.

Tetumtan smiled and didn’t say anything.

In his opinion, He Chuan had nothing wrong except for his lust and love for good wine.

It’s normal for cultivators to be arrogant. He’s indeed a suitable candidate for the Prince Consort.

Soon, it was Lia’s turn.

She held a three-foot-long Qingfeng sword in her hand, and her pretty face was full of an excited smile.

The difference between her and her opponent in the first round was very obvious. In less than two moves, Lia had knocked away the weapon in their hand.

Enthusiastic cheers immediately rang out from the surroundings.

The Xiongnu people liked courageous people, and Lia used her strength to change everyone’s opinion.

Moreover, they didn’t expect the Sixth Princess to improve so quickly.

“Good! As expected of my daughter! I would grant you a wish if Lia got the first place!” Tetumtan was very satisfied with Lia’s performance.

The other Princes and Princesses’ faces suddenly turned very ugly.

The limelight was stolen by the youngest sister, which made them feel a little embarrassed.

The key was that Tetumtan had not yet chosen an heir, and the struggle between the Princes and Princesses had reached the most intense state.

There had been female leaders in the tribes of the grasslands and the desert, so it was not only the Prince who had the right to inherit.

Princesses also had rights.

Lia used to be a silly and sweet princess. Even though Tetumtan favored her, she was not a threat. Everyone was willing to pretend to like this sister of theirs.

From today onwards, everything will change. Lia was fully capable of joining the ranks of the struggle for the throne.

Whether it was the Imperial Family or the King Family, it wasn’t easy to obtain genuine affection.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was still possible for a Princess to be with a Prince, but it was very rare.

Tetumtan saw the reactions of his children.

The Xiongnu Tribes had always been like this.

Back then, he had also emerged from the struggle and finally sat on the throne of the King.

This was the wolf of the grassland. It had to suppress its own kind in order to become a true wolf, a true leader.

“Master, how was my performance?” Lia ran to He Chuan and said coquettishly.

“It’s just so-so. It’s an instinctive situation to take down the enemy with one move, but you used two more moves.” He Chuan didn’t praise her but scolded her instead.

Just now, this disciple wanted to show off the magnificence of her swordsmanship, so she had violated a great taboo, and her sword moves were flashy but without substance.

If the other party’s strength were equal to Lia’s, she would be suppressed and defeated.

He had often taught Princess Changning, Cai Lian, and Lia not to be complacent because of their current strength.

One had to know that there was always someone better.

Now, she had not even reached the ninth stage of the Xiantian realm, but she was already feeling smug. It was already a light punishment for him not to spank her little butt.

Lia immediately pulled a long face. She did not expect to be reprimanded for winning the match.

“Haha, Young Master is right! Lia, you must not underestimate your enemy, or else you won’t be able to get the reward today.” Seeing that He Chuan could correct Lia’s mistake in time, Tetumtan was very satisfied.

This was a true teacher, not someone who only knew how to flatter and compliment because of her status as a Princess.

The match was still ongoing.

In the end, besides Lia, there was also the warrior under the First Prince, Qarhan Buroq, the warrior under the Third Prince, Mandurathu, and the warrior under the Eldest Princess, Nairisong.

Lia’s strength could only be ranked third among the four of them.

Qarhan Buroq was the strongest, having the strength of an eighth-stage Xiantian.

“Master, what should I do?” Lia hugged He Chuan’s arm and shook it. She did not have any confidence. That Qarhan Buroq was too strong, especially with his cross-training kung fu. It was difficult for a sword to injure him.

“The evil-warding swordsmanship’s unique point is its speed and ghostly movement. Although Qarhan Buroq’s cross-training kung fu is strong, he still has a weakness,” He Chuan whispered into Lia’s ear.

The First Prince saw the movement on He Chuan’s side and revealed a disdainful smile. Qarhan Buroq was the most powerful young man in the Xiongnu tribe.

It was a fool’s dream for Lia to want to defeat him.

This year’s first place was almost certain, and he could also stand out in front of his father, getting closer and closer to the position of heir.

He would think of a way to deal with Lia in the future.

The semi-finals had officially begun.

The first battle was between Qarhan Buroq and Mandurathu.

Seeing that the game had entered its climax,

The 50,000 people on the scene shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and earth like a tsunami.

Qarhan Buroq quietly listened to the deafening cheers.

He didn’t know why, but he enjoyed the cheers as if they were what he deserved.

Mandurathu had been staring coldly at Qarhan Buroq since he came on stage. He sneered, “I heard you are the number one warrior in Xiongnu Tribe?”

Qarhan Buroq paid no attention to his opponent. Standing three feet away from him, he closed his eyes and lowered his head, lost in thought.

It was as if he didn’t hear Mandurathu’s question at all. It was more like he was looking down on him!

He was also very confident in his own strength!
