The Story of the Swordsman Cang'An

Episode 03's. I Named the Group of Five

[Zuojia Academy Training Page]

The next day, Zhao Feng and the selection participants who passed to the Third Exam stage had gathered at the Zuojia Academy's training grounds. There are about 60 prospective students on the training page. The atmosphere of the training page was boisterous with the conversation that occurred among the prospective students.

Zhao Feng stood up and looked around to pay attention to the other participants who had passed to the Third Exam stage. When Zhao Feng turned his head towards the left of the crowd of prospective students, he saw Wei Tanlun waving at him. Wei Tanlun then walked over towards Zhao Feng.

" Hei Feng.. It turns out that you passed the Third Test as well? " Wei Tanlun said as she arrived next to Zhao Feng.

" Right Brother. It turned out that big brother had also managed to pass this Trial of "Silent Zhao Feng.

" Of course. I have passed the First and Second Exams many times. I think the Second Examination will be conducted today, it turns out that they are speeding up the exam process this year "

" Do you mean Brother? "

" The exam of new students at the Academy is always done for three days, every day only one exam. But this time, they speed up the process "

Wei Tanlun held her chin as she continued to say to Zhao Feng, "I think this is due to the preparation of next year's Island Tournament "

" The tournament in the Continent of the Penda? " Task Zhao Feng.

" yes. I heard, Zuojia Academy got a special invitation from the Kingdom of Penda "Sahut Wei Tanlun.

" Oh.. So you also know about the tournament "Suddenly a fat young man interrupted Wei Tanlun's words.

" I've guessed. You will definitely pass the Third Trial "Imbuh that young man to Zhao Feng.

" You know this guy Feng? " Task Wei Tanlun with a slightly cynical look.

" Hehe... Of course he knows me, we were one room yesterday. Introduce, I am Xia Xiong The first son of the fifth generation Xia family. My father Xia Xing is the biggest benefactor of the Academy's "Say the young man who turned out to be Xia Xiong was in an arrogant tone.

Zhao Feng smiled faintly and nodded his head as Wei Tanlun looked towards him. The fat youth was the participant who yesterday explained to Zhao Feng about the Cultivator Stone and the nine Immortal Points.

" Thank you for your help yesterday. I'm Zhao Feng "

" Greetings Brother Xiong. I am Wei Tanlun from an ordinary family who lives a simple life "Reply Wei Tanlun in a joking tone.

" Sister!? "

" I-I'm only 15 years old, no need to call me Big Brother ! " Sahut Xia Xiong with a sullen face.

' 15 years? His face was extravagant, he looked even older than me Inner Wei Tanlun.

" Haha.. Sorry, sorry. You look so grown up, I misjudged your age "

" Brother Xiong. Didn't you just say, you know about the Island Tournament, try telling me " Wei Tanlun said while embracing Xia Xiong's shoulder.

" The Island Tournament next year will be held on the Island of Fire in the Continent of the Penda. The academy will select three students coming from the new batch this year, to attend the tournament "

" This martial tournament was held once every three years on the islands of the Penda Continent "

" Every three years, the tournament will be held on a different island location, and next year will be held on the Island of Fire "

" In addition, the winners will get many prizes in the form of lucky meetings and three special rights from the Kingdom of Penda as the organizer of the event " Xia Xiong said excitedly.

Xia Xiong also said that next year's Island Tournament was the first time for the Penda Kingdom to invite other Kingdoms to participate in the Island Tournament.

" Which other kingdoms were invited to attend the tournament? " Task Zhao Feng.

" In fact the invitation was only given directly to the Meghalaya Kingdom... Our kingdom was invited by Meghalaya Kingdom instead of the "Sahut Xia Xiong Kingdom.

" Does the Meghalaya Kingdom have the right to do that? This is an event belonging to the Kingdom of Penda " Said Wei Tanlun.

" Certainly not entitled. But, due to a dispute between the two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Penda finally invited our Kingdom unofficially... "

" It was not their emissaries who came to invite this Kingdom of Cang'An, but rather the messengers of the Kingdom of Meghalaya on behalf of King Penda who came to invite "Sahut Xia Xiong.

" Well... It is not useless for you to be the son of the benefactor of this Academy. You know a lot about the tournament... "

" Then you must know about this exam too, right? Tell... What test will we do today? " Wei Tanlun whispered as she asked the question.

Xia Xiong shook his head, he did not know what exam the Zuojia Academy would give as the Third Exam. Wei Tanlun let go of her embrace when she saw that Xia Xiong did not know about what kind of test they were going to face. Right after that, the crowd of prospective students who had been boisterous suddenly became quiet.

" Look Elder Chen Shui came "Say one of the participants who was not far from Zhao Fengs group.

The remark brought the conversation between Zhao Feng and his two friends to a halt. Their eyes were now on Chen Shui.

Chen Shui flashed in front of the 60 prospective students who managed to pass the Third Exam stage, instantly too many prospective students suddenly stopped talking. The atmosphere that had been boisterous by the conversations of prospective students had now turned a little tense.

The views and attention of the prospective students were now focused on Chen Shui. Chen Shui continued walking until he reached the center of the training page. As Chen Shui stood in the middle of the training courtyard, a pulpit appeared and formed from the ground where he stood.

' Land Element Ruler... It turned out that he was Zhao Fengs inner earth element energy processor when he saw the pulpit from the ground where Chen Shui was standing.

" The Third Test is a group fight. One group consists of at least five people. Those who have coins with odd numbers can only group with those with odd numbers and those with even numbers... "

" You can exchange coins with those who agree to exchange, there can be no coercion. Choose also a group leader among you. Collect your coins in the Head of the group... "

" I'll give you time from now on ! " Chen Shui exclaimed from the top of his artificial earth pulpit.

" My coins are odd numbers. What about you guys? " Task Zhao Feng to Wei Tanlun and Xia Xiong.

" I'm weird as well "Sahut Xia Xiong with a smile.

" Puteku even. Too bad, even though I wish I could have a group with you Feng " Wei Tanlun said.

" You want to exchange coins with me? "

" no... I also intend to one group with Zhao Feng... "

" I have a lot of coins in my pocket. In this right pocket are even numbered coins and in the left odd numbered pocket... Get your coins and I'll replace them with the odd number "Whisper Xia Xiong.

" seriously? " Sahut Wei Tanlun in a soft tone.

Xia Xiong nodded and took out an odd numbered coin from the left pocket of his shirt.

" This is an odd coin... Get your coins.. " Xia Xiong said as he thrust the odd-numbered coin into Wei Tanlun.

Without saying a word, Wei Tanlun immediately exchanged her coins for odd-numbered coins given by Xia Xiong. Xia Xiong received the coin and put it in the right pocket of his shirt.

" Why did you do that? Wouldn't you just trade it for another participant "Said a yellow-clothed young man who suddenly appeared next to Xia Xiong.

" Xing Ma's. What are you doing here? " Task Xia Xiong when he saw the young man.

" Of course to join you... This is my coin "Sahut the young man named Xing Ma while giving Xia Xiong an even number coin.

" Change it there first... You said just exchange it for another participant "Say Xia Xiong said after seeing the coin she received from Xing Ma.

" Hehe... Since you already have so much why should I bother looking for a participant who wants to tie a coin with me? "

" hey... The ends are the same. Here take... " Xia Xiong said as he gave Xing Ma an odd numbered coin.

" You guys introduce.. This is my cousin, his name is Xing Ma. Doesn't matter, does it, if he joins too? " Task Xia Xiong to Zhao Feng and Wei Tanlun.

" My name is Wei Tanlun. I concur. Sure doesn't matter. Isn't that Feng? " Said Wei Tanlun.

" right. Of course it doesn't matter, introduce me Zhao Feng. In this way, we only need to find one more person "Saw Zhao Feng.

" How about him "Pointing Xing Ma towards a girl who was mobbed by many other prospective students.

" You're kidding Ma? She was Duan Meimei, where might be willing to join us "Sahut Xia Xiong when he realized that the girl Xing Ma had pointed to was actually Duan Meimei.

" What's wrong.. Let's see, from now on he has not decided who to group with " Xing Ma said.

" Feng. Ask him, maybe he wants to be with us? " Said Wei Tanlun.

" Let me... This kind of business, let this handsome one who advanced "Xing Ma immediately step forward towards Duan Meimei who was still mobbed by many other prospective students who also offered him to join the group.

Zhao Feng only nodded slowly when Xing Ma offered himself to invite Duan Meimei to join their group.

" I'm sure she will fail " Xia Xiong said when he saw her cousin arrive at Duan Meimei's place.

" It seems like he succeeded "Said Wei Tanlun a moment later, when he saw Xing Ma return towards them with Duan Meimei following.

Xia Xiong's eyes immediately widened when he saw that, he still could not believe that his cousin had managed to persuade Duan Meimei to join.

" Include this Duan Meimei, it just so happens that his coins are odd-numbered and he is willing to join you "Point Xing Ma towards Zhao Feng when he arrives together with Duan Meimei.

" Haha... Apparently so. Meimei, meet me Xia Xiong. He, Wei Tanlun... And this is Zhao Feng our group leader, right Feng? " Xia Xiong said.

Xia Xiong now knew the cause of Duan Meimei following Xing Ma back to their group, it turned out that it was all because Duan Meimei was indeed willing to join and form a group with Zhao Feng.

" me!?.. What do you mean by me as the group leader? " Whisper Zhao Feng slowly to Xia Xiong.

" It's quiet... Just answer yes.. For this girl to join us "Sahut Xia Xiong while whispering with Zhao Feng.

" l-iya. I'm Zhao Feng. Thank you for joining "So Zhao Feng said, Xia Xiong said.

" This coin belongs to me " Duan Meimei approached towards Zhao Feng and gave his coin to Zhao Feng.

After that Xia Xiong, Xing Ma, and Wei Tanlun also gave their coins to Zhao Feng.

A few tens of breaths later. Chen Shui called the group leaders to gather before him. There were eight group leaders facing Chen Shui, including Zhao Feng.

Chen Shui asked each group leader to write down the name of the group along with the names of each of their group members in a paper that had been provided by the Academy.

After which, Chen Shui gave a pouch to each of the group leaders and instructed them to put all the group coins and paper into the pouch he had given.

After receiving back pockets from each group leader. Chen Shui allowed the group leaders to return to their respective groups and wait for further instructions.

" Feng. What did you write on that paper? " Task Wei Tanlun as Zhao Feng returned to his group again.

" I wrote down our name and the name of our group "Sahut Zhao Feng.

" What do you name our group? " Task Xing Ma.

" I name the Five Groups, because only we are five" Zhao Feng replied.

Xing Ma and the others simply smiled hearing Zhao Feng name their group that way.

Among the eight groups that existed, only Zhao Fengs group numbered the least, which was five people. While others there are six people up to nine people per group.

" Our group is the least of its members. If we fight with a total of nine people, that means four people among us, each of us must face two people from the group " Xia Xiong said with a long sigh.

Seriate...
