Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 164 If you don’t have the courage to challenge a goal that is impossible to win, how can you be qualified to reach the pinnacle of martial arts!

The Battle for the Tripod originated from a contest between the Yin Dynasty and the Silver Moon Royal Court a thousand years ago.

At that time, the two sides were about to go to war, but neither the Emperor of the Yin Dynasty nor the Silver Moon King of the Silver Moon Royal Court wanted to start a war.

At that time, there were rebellions among the princes of the Yin Dynasty, and a powerful enemy was invading the northernmost border of the Silver Moon Royal Court. Both sides wanted to solve the major threats first, so they agreed to send out young warriors to compete instead of fighting, and the agreement between the two countries would be determined by the victory or defeat.

Later, the Yin Dynasty won, and the Silver Moon Royal Court gave up the most fertile Arullana grassland. It was originally just a delaying tactic for the two families, but no one expected that after the battle for the tripod, many things happened in both countries, and they really stopped fighting for decades. There was a very long period of peace, which was described very vividly in history books and has always been praised by historians.

Later, almost every time a dynasty changed, there were always various opportunities to promote the battle for the throne, and almost every time a competition was followed, a rare period of peace would be won, which gradually became a tradition in the world.

Giatana couldn't help but ask, "Although the battle for the tripod is agreed to be for young warriors, Dalang has three top warriors, and there's no guarantee they won't take action. Why is Senior Brother Alando taking such a risk?"

Mahanaye smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone knows it's a risk, so how could Senior Brother Alandra not know?"

"I was against it, but Brother Alandra convinced all the monks in the temple, including me."

"What truly convinced the monks in the temple was a single sentence: Without the courage to challenge an impossible goal, how can one be qualified to reach the pinnacle of martial arts?"

Giatana asked in surprise, "Brother Alandra wants to promote the battle for the tripod, thereby rallying the hearts and minds of the Northern Yan warriors, consolidating a powerful momentum, and striving for a chance to break through to the pinnacle?"

Having just been promoted to Grand Master, he is about to reach the pinnacle!
This broad-mindedness and courage shocked Giatana. Although she admired this senior brother, she still shook her head and frowned, "Who can guarantee that the three top masters of Dalang will not take action?"

Mahanaye smiled and said, "How can everything in the world go as one wishes?"

"If such a thing really happened, it would mean that Longzang Temple and Northern Yan's military fortunes are doomed, and they should remain silent for another hundred years."

"Brother Alandra also said: Everyone in this world knows it."

"You know it, I know it, and the three of us know it among ourselves. The person they most want to kill is definitely each other, not any other Grandmaster."

"After he was promoted to Grandmaster, he was confident that he could use his life to inflict severe injuries on any top master."

"A severely injured Jueding is no longer considered Jueding. He will only become a target for hunting."

"Let an extremely talented person willingly sacrifice himself for the world. After his death, his family, relatives, lover, friends, disciples, and everything he cherished will be destroyed by the people of the world..."

"Isn't this just a fairy tale?"

This logic was impeccable, and Giatana couldn't even find any flaws to refute it, but she still disagreed with it and even thought that Senior Brother Alanta was crazy!

She said decisively, "This is still too risky. I need to return to Beiyan and persuade Senior Brother Alanduo to withdraw the letter of credence regarding the battle for the tripod."

Mahanaye whispered, "Brother Alandra has a task for you."

Giatana frowned and asked, "What is the mission?"

Mahanaye whispered, "Brother Alandra said that when he was promoted to Grandmaster, he had a wonderful exchange with the energy of heaven and earth and sensed something." "The true successor of the Ten Powers of Tathagata has been born between heaven and earth. I want you to bring this person back to Longzang Temple."

Although Giatana knew that the spiritual power of Longzang Temple was incredible, she still found it hard to believe and asked, "Who is this person?"

Mahanaye folded his hands and said, "Brother Alandha said that he didn't know who that person was, but that person could comprehend the secrets of the Ten Powers of the Tathagata without reading the secret scrolls of Longzang Monastery. He said that once you see this person, you will definitely know."

"My senior brother also said that he is your destined husband, and the first child born to you and him will inherit the Longzang Temple's Dharma lineage and become the next master of Longzang Temple."

Giatana's cheeks flushed. She really didn't expect that this senior brother who was like a god in Longzang Temple would say so and even predict her future husband.

Giatana didn't know what was wrong, but suddenly Sun Yanwan's grinning and slutty look appeared in her mind, and she said to her frivolously, "Ugly girl, will you marry me and give me a litter of cubs?"

A word: "No" came out of my mouth instantly.

Mahanaye smiled and said, "Brother didn't say that he had to force you, he just said that marriage is determined by heaven and it is difficult to change it."

"Maybe you really don't want to, but God can't make things difficult for you!"

Giatana was suddenly stunned. Only one sentence kept echoing in her mind: "May all lovers in the world become couples; it was destined in previous lives, so don't miss your chance."

"It was destined in the previous life, so don't miss the marriage..."

This little princess of Beiyan, the Golden Feather of the Great Sun on the grassland, seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing!

Suddenly, a fantasy flashed through his mind: he was being pinned down by Sun Yanwan, unable to display even a single bit of his earth-shattering martial arts skills. This bitch was even laughing obnoxiously, saying to him, "Resist! The more you resist, the more excited I get..."

Giatana suddenly gnashed her teeth and said word by word, "Sun Yanwan, I swear to kill you!"

"If you want to do whatever you want to me, wait until the next life!"

Mahanaye was bewildered, wondering why this junior sister suddenly wanted to kill someone named Sun Yanwan?

He had vaguely heard that this man was a young hero who had recently risen in Dalang and was both talented in literature and martial arts. He must have somehow offended his junior sister, which led to the murderous intention of this grassland genius.

This person wanted to do something obscene to Junior Sister, so he really deserves to be killed.

At this time, Sun Yanwan was carrying a school basket and stepping into the examination room. All in her mind were the key points of the imperial examination taught by Li Wangyou. She had never expected that there would be an unexpected disaster.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't be afraid because he had his master to protect him!
Sun Yanwan touched his arms and found three talismans for passing the exam. This was originally a new business launched by Huang Yunguan, but he didn't expect that Shi Si, Sun Lingdie, and Namco all asked for one for him.

I don’t know if this counts as a thrown boomerang hitting me on the back of the head.

The three-day exam passed in a flash. Sun Yanwan finished the last subject and just returned home when he received a letter from Taiyi Temple. He opened the letter and found it was written by his master. Every word of the letter revealed a sense of pride: "Disciple Yanwan, a few days ago, I happened to flip through the bookshelf and saw a volume of the Withering and Flourishing Sword Manual which had been completed long ago. I wanted to give it to you when you were in Japan, but I forgot it for a long time and kept it until now. My disciple, please come back slowly and don't forget to ask for it back from your master."
