Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 25's. The Empire V Tournament
"Chairman Xin, what are you thinking? Looks like there's something interesting the Chairman is hiding!" asked the grand elder while glancing at Chairman Xin who did not look like he usually did.
"Great elder, did the elder see the young man who defeated the disciple from the Blue Cloud Sect?" Chairman Xin's question instead made the great elder of his sect scratch his head which was not itchy as it still did not get an answer from the question he was asking.
"I saw it. Merely, what was the thing that made Chairman Xin look so happy? That young man doesn't seem to be from any of the sects in our Empire either because I don't see him wearing a robe that shows he's from one of the Sects in our empire currently?"
"Haha...He's the young man I've told you about and I chose earlier to be my successor" Reply Chairman Xin chuckled with a big laugh.
Hearing the words of Chairman Xin Long, the middle-aged man was shocked to think that the young man who had been chosen by the Sect Chief was one of the most domineering participants since the initial preliminary round.
Indeed, Zhang En had already attracted the attention of all the spectators who had already witnessed every fight displayed by Zhang En. Even Emperor Zhu himself was a little interested in Zhang En and considered Zhan En as one of the participants who had extraordinary talent and potential at this tourmanent.
It wasn't just Emperor Zhu, either, some Sect Chiefs from the others had also started to feel interested in Zhang En and would recruit him since that Youth was currently already a list of highly calculated and considered talented participants.
"Chairman Xin Long, I see that young man has a very extraordinary potential. I saw that young man whose cultivation level was at the early Sky Level swordsman and could defeat a disciple from the blue cloud sect whose cultivation level was already at the late sky stage. Merely, I am still not sure he will enter the top 5 because the opponents he will face in the next match will be talented disciples from the big sects" the Great Elder replied as he gave an opinion.
"Don't his own Chairman say that his cultivation level is at the realm of late heaven stage warriors?"
Hearing the words and explanations from the great Elder, Chairman Xin did not show any worries on his face.
"It turns out, my successor candidate is very smart to hide something" Chairman Xin Long said casually.
"What does Chairman Xin mean?" the grand elder asked increasingly confused at the words of the Sect Chief which made it even harder to understand.
"Great chief, you must be surprised to know the truth. The boy had actually suppressed his cultivation level with a special technique of his, Only, this old man's eyes could still see his level even though he had already used his special technique"
"I mean Chairman?"
"The young man is not actually at the Sky level. He is now at an early holy stage"
"What's? The initial holy level" said the grand elder in surprise and almost shouted.
"What a very talented young man" continued the great elder happily.
"I want the great Elder to keep an eye on the young man until the match is over"
"Alright Chief" the middle-aged man replied as he left the main seat.

After leaving the arena, two women were following Zhang En who was heading to the dressing room that had been provided. Just as he was about to enter the room, a young woman stopped him.
"Wait!" the woman said to him.
Zhang En immediately turned his head to look at the origin of the voice and saw a woman who was being seen heading towards him with a beautiful woman beside him.
Zhang En immediately twisted his body which was still visible due to the fight earlier. The two women immediately approached Zhang En who was standing at the door of the room waiting for them.
"It's okay..What did the lady call me?" replied Zhang En flatly.
"mmmmmmm. Sir, my young lady wants to see you and wants to talk to you for a moment" replied the woman who was a little nervous and looked down because she saw that the man was not wearing clothes on his upper body and showed heavy muscles.
"Your young lady?"glancing at the woman next to him.
It turned out that the young lady that the woman was referring to was the woman that Zhang En had met at the Xuan family's dining hall.
"Mr Zhang.. We meet again" said the woman displaying a graceful demeanor and smiling towards Zhang En
"Oh.. Miss Yhu Zhu Xuan, what is the matter Miss came to see me?" zhang En replied expressionlessly while looking at the face of the beautiful woman.
Looking at the gaze from Zhang En, Yhu Zhu Xuan felt his heart beating violently looking at the handsome man's eyes, what else was he currently with the man facing each other and making him a little nervous.
"mmm... Master Zhang, this is my servant" as he turned his eyes towards the woman next to him.
"Mr Zhang, introduce me Hao Yie maidservant Miss Yhu" Hao Yie said.
After introducing himself, Hao Yie instantly moved away from the place and left the two of them to speak.
Yhu Zhu Xian slightly protested and called out to the woman as she left the two of them there,
"Hao Yie's.. You're.."
"Miss Yhu, what does miss want to talk about?yhu Zhu Xuan's words were instantly cut off by Zhang En. Yhu Zhu Xuan was just resignedly left behind by Hao Yie.
"mmmmmmm. I-I just want to look and ask you how you are" Yhu Zhi Xuan replied shyly and twirled her long hair.
"Eh, I'm fine Miss Yhu" Zhang En replied somewhat surprised by the woman's words.
"Goodoo. I'm just a little worried about you" Yhu Zhu Xuan replied with quivering lips.
"That's..Mm... N-nonna Yhu, don't worry, I didn't get any injuries and I'm fine as Miss Yhu sees" Zhang En replied perplexedly. He did not expect the woman to worry about him even though he felt that there was no connection between him and the woman.
Yhu Zhu just lowered his head in embarrassment and was a little annoyed that Zhang En did not show the slightest interest in her. The woman walked away with teary eyes leaving Zhang En and approached Hao Yie and left without saying anything.
Zhang En did not care about it and went straight inside, after cleaning his body, Zhang En immediately opened his storage ring and took out a pair of clothes to wear.
After that, Zhang En immediately left the place and headed straight for the tournament participant seat to follow the next round.
The second day of the preliminary round leaves 20 participants who will soon be competing to enter can enter the round of 10.
In this match, Zhang En did not find a difficult opponent, Zhang En again won the match easily and entered the top 10.
Finally, the match for the top 10 position ended. The participants who entered the top 10 this time were dominated by talented disciples from every 7 big sects in the empire.
