One person: I have exposed the superhuman to the whole world.

Chapter 135 Climbing the Mountain and Meeting the Opponent

"Sister Bao'er isn't a sword cultivator, is she? How did she get chosen?"

Zhang Chulan had no plans for the sword-testing tournament three days later, since none of them used swords.

Whether they can successfully arrange a meeting with Xu Xin tomorrow is even more important to them.

Zhang Chulan was not surprised that the higher-ups had decided to participate in the Sword Trial Tournament.

After all, the rewards given by the nameless guest at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony last time were too outrageous, so who knows if the "surprise grand prize" for this competition will also be too exaggerated.

Zhang Chulan just didn't expect that the contestant would be Feng Baobao.

Feng Baobao also has quite a few secrets, and Zhang Chulan doesn't want her to appear in public unless absolutely necessary.

Xu Si scratched his head helplessly: "The people at the top have asked people from all regions of Na Du Tong to arrange candidates to participate in the sword-testing competition at Changbai Mountain in three days. Although Bao Bao is not actually a sword cultivator, in the information we submitted to the higher-ups, Feng Bao Bao recorded that the weapon she used was a short sword."

In addition, given Bao Bao's excellent performance at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony last time, they suggested that Feng Bao Bao participate in the Sword Testing Tournament.

Zhang Chulan still didn't understand: "Didn't you say that each region would arrange its own candidates? Can we change someone else?"

Xu Si sighed: "Our original candidate was not Feng Baobao, but a swordsman I invited from outside. But after the list was submitted, it was rejected. The reply was that the candidates for the competition needed to be made sure they were from our own people, and they could only be selected from the official employees of Na Du Tong. Among all the official employees in our North China region, only Baobao's weapon is related to swords."

Now that the candidate has been chosen, there's no way to change it.

"I don't know how this sword-testing tournament will be conducted, or whether it will be a blessing or a curse."

Hearing Zhang Chulan's concerns, Feng Baobao gave him an OK sign.

"It's alright. We'll show that Hiruma how powerful Okamoto 0.01 is."

Xu Si took a deep drag, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out.

“It might not be a bad thing for the baby to participate in the Sword Trial Tournament. Maybe the surprise grand prize will be a real surprise? Let’s cancel tomorrow’s trip to the Tang Sect. It seems that the Tang Sect is also preparing to participate in the Sword Trial Tournament and has already canceled their speech tomorrow. I’ve arranged for the baby to train with a swordsmanship expert. Let’s give them some intensive training these two days and try to win a prize at the tournament.”

……

Three days passed quickly, and amidst the anticipation of viewers worldwide, the exclusive live stream for the Sword Testing Tournament officially opened.

"There are so many people in Changbai Mountain! The road in front of the hotel is blocked! I can't even go to Changbai Mountain. I spent a lot of money to book a hotel, and now I'm still watching live streams in the hotel!"

"Listen to me, don't come! I'm in the mountains right now, and nobody told me it was this cold in Changbai Mountain! I'm freezing like a baby, and I can't even get back to the hotel."

"Le, who told you to go to Changbai Mountain? I don't even need to think about it to know that Changbai Mountain must be packed with people right now. It's much more comfortable at home."

"The hotels are making a killing these past few days! I think their prices have almost tripled!"

While the audience in the live broadcast room was laughing and chatting, Changbai Mountain was packed with people not only at the top but also at the foot of the mountain!

Most of them were tourists from all over the world and strange people who came to join in the fun, while only a small number were swordsmen who came to participate in the competition.

To ensure public order, the people from Nadutong have been working like crazy these past two days. Their people are everywhere in Changbai Mountain, from top to bottom, maintaining order.

Just as it was eleven o'clock, a loud thud suddenly came from the sky, and everyone near Changbai Mountain looked up at the sky.

"There is one hour left before the official start of the Sword Trial Tournament. All participants are requested to proceed to the competition venue in the center of Tianchi Lake before 12:00 PM to begin their next round of competition. Failure to do so will be considered as non-participation in this competition."

"Please note that you must not harm civilians during the ascent. Violators will be disqualified and will be held legally responsible under local laws."

When the words in the sky were finished, the people near Tianchi Lake realized that a huge floating ice platform had appeared in the very center of the lake at some unknown time!

White mist wafted from the platform, and there seemed to be a figure in the very center of the ice floe.

Zhang Chulan, who was at the foot of the mountain, looked up at the crowded passage and gasped.

"Fourth Brother, Sister Bao'er, can we still make it?"

The roads are so crowded that it's impossible to walk. Xu Si shook his head: "We definitely can't make it up the normal way. We'll have to force our way up the mountain path."

The mountain road Xu Si mentioned was the undeveloped road on Changbai Mountain.

"Oh no! Another mountain climb."

Last time, Zhang Chulan and the others walked through the undeveloped back mountain of Longhu Mountain during the Luotian Grand Ceremony. Zhang Chulan still remembers how difficult the path was.

"What are you complaining about? We're all extraordinary beings, it's not like we can't get up there. Let's just keep going."

Zhang Chulan nodded helplessly and began to rush towards Tianchi Lake, stepping on the snow on both sides of the stairs.

Zhang Chulan discovered that there were quite a few other extraordinary individuals like them. After the announcement was finished, a large number of people rushed out from the crowd and began to climb up the snow.

Apart from a small number of extraordinary individuals who had already arrived near Tianchi, most of them were still near the foot of the mountain, and many were even stuck in traffic on the streets.

As Zhang Chulan was running along the mountain road, he suddenly saw an old acquaintance ahead.

"Master Ma! What brings you here too!"

Upon hearing the sound, Ma Xianhong turned around and saw someone he didn't want to see waving excitedly at him from behind.

“Master Ma, you’re wearing a thick cotton-padded coat all over your body, not your usual training clothes. I almost didn’t recognize you.”

Ma Xianhong looked at Zhang Chulan as if he were an idiot, "Does that thin clothing look like something you could wear in Changbai Mountain?"

Ignoring Ma Xianhong's sarcasm, Zhang Chulan asked curiously, "Isn't Sect Leader Ma a weapon refiner? Why is he here at this sword-testing tournament?"

Ma Xianhong pointed to someone next to him and said, "I came here with Fu Rong; she is the contestant in this competition."

Seeing Fu Rong take off her mask, Zhang Chulan finally recognized her.

Fu Rong blew her nose, which had been snotted from the cold, and politely greeted Zhang Chulan.

Just as Zhang Chulan was greeting Fu Rong in a friendly manner, Fu Rong and Feng Baobao suddenly changed their expressions and abruptly pulled Zhang Chulan aside.

A sword aura slashed past Zhang Chulan's ear, heading straight for Fu Rong, but she managed to dodge it by turning her head.

The sword energy severed Fu Rong's mask, revealing her puzzled expression.

She looked at the strange man attacking her not far away, but Fu Rong didn't know why he was attacking her.

"You're a contestant, right? Then it seems you're my competitor. The rules say it's not allowed to harm ordinary people, but it doesn't seem to say it's not allowed to attack people with supernatural abilities. I wonder if you could leave the mountain here?"
