Chapter 195: Entering The Village.
However, behind the seemingly harmonious scene, hidden a large tournament.
Inside this heaven of peace and happiness, there was a precious land where people could increase their strength and fortify their spiritual soul.
Whoever could gain this opportunity, would be destined to be much stronger than the people of their generation in the future.
According to the tradition of the Ancient Spirit Village, the Mighty Bear Tribe and the Hunting Tiger Tribe that was passed down from the ancient times, for every ten years, teens aged 20 and below would battle for three rounds and the ones that won the most rounds, would be rewarded with the rights to control that precious land.
Whoever could control that precious land would be able to send their juniors inside to train.
After training there for a long time, these juniors would be able to surpass their seniors, which these benefits were no trivial matter as it would have enormous benefits.
And for the Ancient Spirit Village where Shangguan Xi Wei lived, in the past thirty years, there was no harvest as they had continuously failed for three times.
If the Ancient Spirit Village still could not win against the two tribes this time, the precious land would naturally belong to either of them.
If they were to continuously be unable to enter the precious land for forty consecutive years, this would be a big blow for the younger generations of the Ancient Spirit Village.
Inevitably they would fall further and further behind the Mighty Bear Tribe and the Hunting Tiger Tribe while the people from the Mighty Bear Tribe and the Hunting Tiger Tribe would keep getting stronger too.
When one rose, the other would fall. In the next competition after ten years, if the Ancient Spirit Village want to win, it would be harder than ever!
"The competition is divided into three rounds. The one with the best out of the three rounds will win. The first round, is won by the cultivation of the beast that was apprehended.
The second round is the battle between the beasts that were apprehended.
The third round is the battle between the younger generation of the two tribes and the Ancient Spirit Village. Whichever tribe had the most wins, could take over the control of the precious land for ten years."
"If the Ancient Spirit Village, the Mighty Bear Tribe and the Hunting Tiger Tribe all have one win each, then there will be another round. Humans will bring their beasts along to attack while cooperating. The one who wins is the final winner."
Shangguan Xi Wei spoke, telling Su Yi of the situation without holding any information back.
"You mean, you want to borrow the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard, and the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard still has to fight in the second round?"
Su Yi frowned. The Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard had been wounded heavily by him and covered in injuries. Within a short time, it would be hard for it to recover to its peak condition.
"That's right."
Shangguan Yan nodded, his burly figure seemed like a small beast as his handsome face revealed a smile. On the road, Shangguan Yan, Shangguan Ye, and Shangguan Yu were very friendly to Su Yi.
Shangguan Yan continued: "However, Brother Yi Su, you don't have to worry. With the might of the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard, the chances of it winning are more than 90 percent. With the strength of the Mighty Bear Tribe and the Hunting Tiger Tribe, trying to apprehend a beast like the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard will definitely be difficult."
"Is that so......"
Su Yi was still a little worried, mainly because the wounds of the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard were too severe.
"No need to worry. The second round has seven days of preparation. In these seven days, we will think of ideas to heal the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard. Furthermore, the Mighty Bear Tribe and the Hunting Tiger Tribe have to apprehend the beasts too, so a vicious battle is unavoidable. Their beasts would definitely have wounds too."
Shangguan Xi Wei explained, hoping that Su Yi would be reassured.
Having a beast like the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard in the Demonic Xuan Realm Fifth Grade, their Ancient Spirit Village would have a bigger chance of winning this time.
"Whatever good Spiritual Herbs and elixirs your village has, they have to take out all of it to ensure that the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard will recover faster."
Su Tian Que had long ago leaped onto the back of the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard as it was too lazy to walk. Its gaze was filled with yearning as it looked at Shangguan Xi Wei.
When it thought of the Spiritual Herbs and elixirs while mentioning the treatment of the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard, Su Tian Que's saliva almost dripped out.
"At then, the elders in the village will definitely arrange for it."
From time to time, Shangguan Xi Wei would keep sizing up the featherless meat chicken as it was very odd. She was seemingly curious about its origin.
As for the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard, it kept following behind Su Yi honestly. It initially did not want Su Tian Que to stand on its back, but it was, unknowingly suppressed that it could not resist.
Very quickly, the sun set on the western mountain while red clouds covered the sky.
Shangguan Xi Wei glanced at the sky and said: "Right in front will truly be the Demon Woods. We will rest for the night. Tomorrow, at about this time, we should be back in the village." Shangguan Xi Wei said.
"Okay."
Su Yi also had no objections as this would allow the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard to recover. After the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard had been settled down, he fed quite a few recovery elixirs to it.
"If only there is some roasted meat to eat......"
Su Tian Que mumbled with an expression as though there was nothing to live for anymore.
The night was like the running water as the moonlight silently flowed above the chain of mountains and the sky-high trees as if they were seemingly, covered in a faint fog.
Although tonight was a full moon, there was a faint layer of clouds in the sky.
The moonlight shone through the gaps between the trees. At a high altitude clump within the shrubs and dense trees, it displayed uneven motley light figures.
Su Yi sat cross-legged while mulling over the thoughts in his mind.
Although going to that Ancient Spirit Village might be a little risky, for the cultivation of the Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul, this risk was worth a try.
Seeing that Shangguan Xi Wei and the rest had been entirely honest, Su Yi reckoned that the place should not be dangerous.
And towards such a mysterious village and tribes, Su Yi was also curious.
The auras and the temperaments of Shangguan Xi Wei, Shangguan Yan and the rest coupled with the fact that they had already reached the Yuan Xuan Realm at such young age was comparable to the disciples in the Sacred Mountain and the Taihang Sect. This kind of gifted talent was unmistakably remarkably powerful.
A mysterious heaven of peace and happiness that existed for generations in the Demon Woods, and also had such a group of young juniors. That would most likely prove that the Ancient Spirit Village, the Mighty Bear Tribe, and the Hunting Tiger Tribe were not that simple.
After some time, both of Su Yi's eyes slightly shut as he condensed a hand seal and started to meditate.
The night was cooling like the water. Shangguan Xi Wei also sat cross-legged as her eyes landed on the not so far away straight and tall figure with a sword and saber crossed on his back. Her eyes faintly moved with a glow while they appeared even more dazzling in the dark. Afterward, she also closed her eyes and meditated.
A night without words. When the morning came, a group of people tidied themselves and continued down the road.
With Shangguan Xi Wei and the rest leading the way, Su Yi had not met with any beasts along the way while the road they walked on was extremely furtive and rugged.
From the words of Shangguan Xi Wei, Shangguan Yan and the rest, Su Yi found out that the place where the Ancient Spirit Village, the Mighty Bear Tribe, and the Hunting Tiger tribe located at, was extremely furtive as for thousands of years, no one seemed to have entered before.
At noon, when the sun was burning hot.
"Why haven't we reached yet?" Su Tian Que leaned on the back of the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Tiger with abundant leisure and contentment.
"It's not that far ahead."
Shangguan Yan replied while he had always been curious about the talking chicken.
In these two days of getting along, Shangguan Yan and the rest were also getting more familiar with Su Yi. They were very friendly and kept asking Su Yi about the matters regarding about the outside as they were seemingly very curious about it.
"Wait......"
All of a sudden, Su Yi stopped as he glanced at the surrounding chain of mountains between the canyon while he slowly sized up the area.
They were in the perimeter of the Demon Woods, therefore, Su Yi had always been vigilant in his heart and had not relaxed at all. He could feel that something was wrong with the surroundings.
