The Way of the Sword (BL)

Chapter 26: An underworld battle arena (1)

In the border town of Nim Yang, there are 5 powerful families that complement the military power of the Qin Empire, the house of Marquis Huang, the house of Marquis Xu, the house of Count Luo, Count Lie's house and Viscount Zhan's house. The most powerful being the house of Marquis Huang, whose patriarch is a cultivator of the immortal level whose sons are cultivators of the nascent soul stage, this can be considered a prosperous family when it comes to an ordinary family.

It should be added that one of the descendants of the third generation of the Huang Family is a core level Elder within the Celestial Sword Sect, so it was impossible for this family to fall with such powerful support from behind. The patriarch is of the second generation, this Elder is the third son of Patriarch Huang, the youngest of this family belong to the fifth generation.

Huang Deshi is one of those fifth generation young men, he is 12 years old and he is a very handsome boy, that kind of fragile and ephemeral beauty, his long black hair was tied with a phoenix red harpim, his his eyes were reddish brown and his skin was very pale, which gave the little boy a devilish or ghostly look.

This young man liked to wear burgundy red clothes, which made him even paler, wore some jewelry under his wrists and incredibly there were several storage rings gracing his fingers. This boy is the same as his name "Golden Yellow," practically a walking wealth god. His clothes were very luxurious, but there were only two items he considered as his own life. The first item was given by his mother which is a red jade pendant and the second is the heron-shaped token that is delivered to the selected new disciples, after the Heavenly Sword Sect's tests.

Just as the Heavenly Sword Sect was recruiting in isolated villages and in the capitals of the city, the city of Nim Yang was also going through its new disciple selection phase, so it was still the first day of the selection.

Heavenly Sword Sect selections vary in scale depending on the location of the test. For example, the selection of Zemin Yan's village 10 was small-scale, which attracted many people from the nearby region, far from the big cities and the imperial capital, which can be considered small-scale. Already selection in the capital would be on a totally different scale, there would be some tournaments promoted by the Qin empire to select the cream of martial cultivators, which would then be subjected to further sect trials.

Nam Yang City, which has no imperial decree and was not as poor as a small village, the five most powerful families organized the tournament known as the 100 Tigers. This tournament will determine 100 people of the young generation, which is divided by age, from 8 to 10 years old, from 11 to 13 years old and from 14 to 18 years old, this is a totally martial tournament and one can only use the sword art.

In total there are 300 young people who can pass in this tournament and the first 10 of each classification will be sent directly to a Celestial Sword Elder, who will only check in on each participant's crop levels, so these winners will only need do two tests, out of the 10 sect selection tests, which are the sword and element test, the second test would be the extra profession they could cultivate, as alchemists, pharmacists, doctors, strategists Anyway, for these 10 participants it's pretty much the way of heaven or a meat pie falling in your lap.

The Tiger tournament is over and two days ago the selection of the Heavenly Sword sect began in Nam Yang City, this selection would last almost 30 days, not only for Nam Yang City, but for all nearby cities, this is also the case. By the time many half-humans would like to participate, these people are often slighted because their blood has the genetics of devils or magic beasts, so there were not many opportunities outside of being a martial cultivator, entering a sect, especially a large First-class sect would be a watershed between living and dying for these half-humans.

These half-humans are often treated as servants or slaves, the lucky ones working as guards in the mansions or as personal bodyguards. Bai Lin is one of those half-humans, unlike his surname meaning "white," this 16-year-old had black skin, quite dark brown, his skin was smooth and flawless like a brown jasper stone polished and perfect. The golden eyes of an unusual color seemed to glow like yellow hibiscus, and the white smile stood out even more from the color of his skin, the tips of his fangs appearing even when he just smiled.

Bai Lin is a cursed bastard son of the merchant family Bai, is also Huang Deshi's best friend, unlike young Huang, Bai Lin has strong health and pulsating vitality in every action he makes, his friend looks even more fragile is weak. This young black man wore yellow clothes the color of sunflowers, his long black curly hair was tied with a very thin and long golden ribbon like gold threads, in his beautiful ears was a pair of earrings that simulated a drop of golden water.

In short Bai Lin looked as eccentric as Huang Deshi, but with a more lively and cheerful vibe, even Bai Lin's footsteps were light and lively, no one would imagine that behind this cheerful facade was a child who had been abused and despised since childhood, which when furious turns into a great black panther that can tear even immortal cultivators!

The two friends walked side by side, talking happily, at least Bai Lin smiled very happily, while Huang Deshi had a rather atypical stoic expression for his young age. Both were now new disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect, of course they did not know in section of the sect they would be sent, but were already happy to be able to go to the same sect together.

"Hey, isn't that Hu Dewei?" Bai Lin's baritone voice sounded close to Huang Deshi's ear, causing several strange goose bumps on his body. Huang Deshi had sensitive ears, he hated when his friend spoke close to his ear, Bai Lin knew that, so he kept doing this kind of action, he thought it was cute that his family's little Deshi had pink cheeks.

The person Bai Lin spoke of was a young dandy nobleman from a viscount family who had some power in the city, but unlike his name "virtuous nobleman" he looked more like a fierce hunter or a fallen Buddhist monk, for he was completely bald It had a rather round body and had a scar near the eye.

Hu Dewei is 16 years old and had already done a lot of damage to the city, but nothing that was too vile or disgusting, just a few fights around, he has an explosive temper, unlike his round, fat face shows. This teenager has cultivation in the 5th level foundation realm and just as they are a new disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

It must be remembered that all new disciples must carry the sect's wooden swords with them everywhere, as well as the heron's token, so Hu Dewei was carrying a heavy sword-style wooden sword on his back and wide.

"It looks like a child is challenging Hu Dewei," said Bai Lin whispering once more in Huang Deshi's sensitive ears. They both watched this strange scene of the crowd forming a circle around the young men they were discussing.
