CHAPTER 261:No, What Is With Those Bastards? (1)

Kangho was warmly heated by the news that was brought by the early autumn wind.

-The Worldly Murim Competition is on!

It was even being hosted by the Shaolin Sect.

And what was the Shaolin Sect?

Wasn’t it a place that had been called the peak of martial arts for a long time?

There were many sects in the world. But none of them dared to compare their influence with the Shaolin Sect.

The Shaolin Sect, which had been a benefactor of Kangho even before the Demonic Sect’s incident that had happened 100 years ago, finally broke their silence and began to take giant steps again.

Naturally, the attention of many strong people, who hadn’t heard of any recent groundbreaking incident for conducting the tournament, was now focused on Mount Song.

When two or more powerful people gathered, stories would be shared, and if there were three or more gathering, there would be all kinds of things happening that a single night couldn’t cover.

The story was in full swing during the Lunar New Year in Luoyang.

“Of course, it is important!”

A rat-faced man said.

“But it isn’t really important! Didn’t they say that there was a spar competition that would happen as well? This is the most important thing.”

Hearing those words, the man frowned.

“Isn’t that supposed to be a place where the possible masters fight?”

“Tch tch, it seems like you don’t know. Have you ever heard of a sect’s elders coming to fight or spar in a tournament?”

“…um. Well.”

The man with the horse face frowned. As he thought more about it, he realized that he had never heard anything about elders coming out to fight.

The rat-faced man arrogantly leaned back in his chair.

“Normally, that is what a spar means. Those who risk their lives for the sake of face and pride just so that they compete in front of others who might be stronger! That is why the Sects raise their disciples.”

“Is that the reason?”

“It is!”

At the question, he raised his voice.

“It isn’t about which Sect is strongest right now in this spar, but rather, who will take the lead in the next ten years.”

“Ten years?”

“The people participating in the spar right now are all people who will be the foundations of their Sects in the future. These people are probably around thirty years old right now, but wouldn’t they be close to forty in ten years?”

“That is obvious, right?”

“By the time they are forty, they would have turned into the backbones of the Sect. In other words, the people who are competing now will become the center of a Sect’s strength in ten years. So, this spar can be considered to be a loose prediction of the future of a Sect. This is a very important thing.”

“I see!”

The horse-faced man nodded his head. He had finally understood. It meant that even if the current best Sect wasn’t known, one would be able to guess which sects would become the best in the future through this tournament.

And even if they didn’t necessarily win, the reputation of the Sect would still rise, and good results would only increase.

“So, who do you think will win this competition?”
