Chapter 67: The Emperor Rises

  "Alright, youngsters! About 900 li away is the Lanzhou provincial capital. We should be able to catch up with them before midnight tonight. Hold on tight, I'm feeling a bit of my youthful recklessness again, it's been ages since I last drove a carriage... Hehehe... Let's go!"

  As the old man shouted, the four precious horses suddenly flew with their hooves, and their speed increased by more than twice. The originally stable carriage also began to shake violently, and Chen Huan and the three of them hurriedly grabbed the handrails, looking at the old man who was driving the carriage.

  This old man was a master appointed by Fangyuan to pick up the three, over 50 years old, with a kind face and a smile on his face all the time. At first glance, he is an old river and lake who can adapt to any situation. There is no fluctuation of yuan force around him, but Chenhao and others know that this old man is a master, even Li Ran is very respectful to him. Originally, Li Ran had arranged for a driver, but the old man refused and took on the role himself.

  "What's with you three kids, all sulking like a bunch of gourds?" The old man spoke up after that, and Chen Huan and the others didn't respond at all. It seemed that the old man, who was naturally straightforward, couldn't stand this dull atmosphere, so he turned his head to look at Chen Huan and the others, and said with a smile: "This isn't good, you know. When you're out in the world, you have to learn how to make friends with heroes from all over. The more friends you have, the more paths you'll have. Especially for you three, who are all from Yunzhou, this relationship is something you should maintain well. Otherwise, with your kind of strength, you'll just be bullied... Haha..." The old man said as he drove the carriage.

  "Royal Newcomer Hall? Got Bullied?"

  The three of them heard the old man's words and were slightly stunned, apparently shocked by the information contained in the old man's words.

  Mo Yu Yi naturally looked at Chen Huan, and even He Lian Wu Zi was no exception. Although she had a "past" with Chen Huan, Chen Huan was the core of their trio, which was undeniable. Before they set off, the heads of their families also instructed them to take Chen Huan as the core and get along well with him. After all, it was clear to everyone that they had this opportunity because of Chen Huan. To put it bluntly, they were only able to come to Yunzhou as a result of being attached to Chen Huan's reward.

  Of course, the most important reason is that Mo Yu Yi was originally a silent and introverted person. He Lian Wu Zi was even more like an iceberg, cold and taciturn.

  "Cough... Senior, what is the Royal Newcomer's Hall? Weren't we supposed to go to the Wanderer's Guild?" Chen Huan, who was the only one acting normally, asked after clearing his throat.

  "Huh? You still don't know where to go?" The old man seemed a bit surprised, but immediately came to his senses and said: "Yes, you are just a small county town in Yunzhou. This time, you have the opportunity because Fang Hui Zhang personally pointed... The Intentional Public Will is only our Town Yuan Wang Guo's exclusive intentional management organization, not an organization that cultivates talent. Oh, it seems like Fang Hui Zhang has taken this little guy as his personal disciple?"

  "It's like this..." Chen Hao replied.

  "Haha, Fang Hui Zhang's personally taught disciples are all over the Royal Newcomer Hall, at least eighty of them. Anyone who joins the Royal Newcomer Hall is basically his personally taught disciple. Don't think that Fang Hui Zhang can always be by your side to teach you, haha... However, your body with both internal and external abilities is indeed very rare, at least in our Town Yuan Kingdom it has never appeared before... And your martial arts talent seems even higher, Fang Hui Zhang taking you as his personally taught disciple isn't strange at all. Better make a move first to gain the upper hand... Otherwise, Fang Hui Zhang's arch-nemesis, also an old friend, will probably fight with Fang Hui Zhang over you, haha..."

  "Senior is overpraised." Chen Hao said calmly.

  "There's no prize yet, it's still undecided. It depends on your future development..." The old man said calmly, pausing for a moment before turning to look at He Lian Wu Zi and Mo Yu Yi, saying: "The little girl's martial arts talent is quite good, in the Imperial New Star Hall, she can be considered above average, but... you two come from poor backgrounds, the cultivation conditions provided by your families are no match for those disciples. After entering the Imperial New Star Hall, you should have better performance. As for you, little guy... I'll tell you the truth, your talent is good in Yunzhou, but in the Imperial New Star Hall, you're likely to be at the bottom. Fang Zong chose you because he saw the sword intent in your heart... You can only barely qualify to enter the new star hall, and whether you succeed or not depends on whether the sword intent in your heart awakens. Becoming a true swordsman is very difficult. Swordsmen and knife wielders are existences that surpass ordinary martial artists. Within the same realm, for example, the Sword Emperor's combat power is three times stronger than the Martial Emperor's! Hehe, little guy, work hard..."

  "Swordsmen... I will! I must become a swordsman!" Upon hearing the old man's words, Mo Yu Yi tightly grasped the large sword in his hand, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light, and said in a low voice.

  "Ah, great, good spirit! Haha..."

  "Senior, are we all going to enter the Royal Newcomer's Hall?" Chen Hao asked again.

  "Yes. Don't call me 'senior' just yet, I'm the one who's been awakened, the royal family's awakening, the start of a new era! I'm the gatekeeper of the Imperial Newcomer Hall, and occasionally, I take on the role of welcoming you newcomers! Hmm, this old man has many nicknames, and in the Newcomer Hall, he's quite famous, you'll naturally find out soon enough... Haha... Every year around this time, it's when our kingdom selects new members for the Imperial Newcomer Hall from among the top powers in the 37 provinces. Our kingdom has a population of over a billion, and only about 300 people can gain entry into the Imperial Newcomer Hall each year, that's an average of about 10 per province! The Imperial Newcomer Hall is a relatively mysterious existence, it's not surprising that you wouldn't know about it in this small county town... And the three of you are the lucky ones personally selected by Director Fang... These things, you'll find out soon enough, there's no need to tell you now... Haha..."

  Huang Qi's words left Chen Huan and the others somewhat shocked. In a kingdom with over 10 billion people, only 300 people could qualify to enter the Imperial Newcomer Hall every year. Even excluding the old, weak, women, and children, it was still a ratio of one in ten thousand, and the intensity of the competition can be imagined...

  Similarly, Huang's passionate and casual words also made Chen Huan feel that this old man was not bragging, and he was probably a big shot in the entire Town of Yuan Kingdom. Especially when talking about Fang Huichang, it seemed very casual, without any sense of reverence like Li Ran had towards him as if he were a god. And Huang's surname, although not the royal surname of the Town of Yuan Kingdom, is basically forbidden in any country, and at most can be changed to "Huang", but this old man still proudly bore the surname Huang, and even introduced himself as a member of the royal family with a straight face, which made people think deeply...

  Here is the translation:

  (Second update. Wushan is really miserable... Firstly, being stuck is one thing, and having a cold and coughing is another. Originally, when I was sick, I didn't think about saying anything, because I hate taking leave due to illness the most. So, after getting stuck yesterday and not writing the second update, I immediately sent out a single chapter saying that there would be three updates today. After sending it out, Wushan's head got big... my daughter's birthday today... was scolded by my wife, feeling extremely ashamed. Fortunately, my wife is also following "Ao Tian" and understands my feelings, so I can only apologize to my daughter, accompanying her for just one lunch... tonight will send out the third update. Estimated to be a bit late. Today's chapter word count is a bit less, hope you don't blame Wushan... being a dad is really not easy... thanks to 16th "a", "Tragic", "Chuan Liang Wu Zi", "Tian Hen Can Jing", "A Meng Hui Jiu Jing", "Feng Bie Ye", "Re Lian ^^", "Ru Bing Lie Huo", "Yao Ye Zui Hong" and 17th "Wu Chen 369", "Chuan Liang Wu Zi", " Luo Xi ????
