was temporarily appointed to manage this branch building in Linzi City. It is rumored that she is tasked with making it comparable to the headquarters. There are also whispers that Xiangqi Lou might...Yueguo was located east of Chu State and bordered the powerful Chu. Life there can be imagined.

However, not far east of Yue Country lies the illustrious Drumming Dusk Academy, a place with some standing.

The saying "Ring the bell at dawn, beat the drum at dusk" serves as a reminder to be vigilant and mindful, striving diligently in one's studies.

Among the four great academies in the world, Mu Gu Academy is the most special one.

Because this academy stands at the foot of the Confucian holy land.

The Confucian holy site Shushan and the Legalist holy site Sanxigong share the same significance. They are both incredibly important to their respective schools of thought and exist as symbols of their ideologies.

The difference lies in that, on Mount Shu, most are scholars who have dedicated their lives to studying diligently. They immerse themselves in academics, accepting no disciples and staying out of worldly affairs. They even disregard the "trivial matters" of the world.

The Three Palaces of Punishment is like an integration of Mount Scripture and the Four Great Academies. It doesn't involve worldly affairs, but it attracts numerous disciples from all over the world. Among the Three Palaces, the Palace of Punished Individuals is deeply involved in worldly matters.

Let's talk about Baiyu Xiah again.

This person's skills are absolutely on par with others, it's just a shame their luck is so bad.

After several rounds of competition, all the opponents were hidden dragons and crouching tigers, waiting to make their mark.

Here's the translation, keeping the HTML tags:

It was just like the encounter with Lin Xian, and he even encountered it twice in a row.

In the last round just now, he met Jiang Shaohua from Shen Guo. With his cards fully exposed, he was defeated by Jiang Shaohua's highly targeted attack, thus ending his journey at the Huang He meeting.

However, Shan Nanqui's nomination of Bai Yu Xia to fill the vacant position in the main competition isn't necessarily about taking advantage of Chu State's high-ranking officials being absent and giving them a hard time.

>

But of the remaining prodigies, only Bai Yu Xia's state was still relatively good.

The opponent, who was on the verge of being beaten to death, was truly outmatched and had no more strength left to fight.

Dong Guobao himself was on the verge of death, and his defeated opponents need not even be mentioned.

Even though the highest-ranking officials from Chu were present, none could offer a suitable alternative. It was truly only Bai Yu's flawless condition that allowed her to participate. It would be unthinkable to select someone from the previous round of defeated warriors.

At this time, there were only three people who were qualified to speak up about this matter in front of Xīn Nánkuí.

Cao Jie did not immediately state his position, but instead turned to look at Jiang Wang and slowly said: "You have been watching the competition these days, and you must be more familiar with the prodigies on the field than I am. What do you think, is this Bai Yu Xia from Yue Guo worthy of this position"

Jiang Wang thought for a moment, then said seriously: "With my vision, I am not qualified to make any accurate judgments, nor should I point the way for heroes of the world. If you must ask me, I can only say that I personally believe he has the strength to enter the main tournament."

Cao Jie smiled and looked at Xin Nanqui: "This is the opinion of the State of Qi."

As for these two men from the State of Qi, who appeared somewhat too proper in their demeanor, Wasanghui did not offer any comments. He simply turned his gaze once more to the Mo Duo, the high priest of Jin from the State of Mu.

Namuduo raised his eyelids: "This quota, you can give it to whoever you want, it doesn't matter to me. I'm just here to inform you that the Heaven's Chosen from Mukuo participating in the Imperial Court has changed."

He said, snapping his fingers, a metal circular plate shot out and was caught in Xi Nanqui's hand. Then he turned and left the "Stage of the World," indeed decisive.

This year's Yellow River Conference is truly full of strange events.

The Heaven's Chosen of State Jing directly withdrew from the inner palace battle. As for State Mu, at the last moment when the roster for the main competition was confirmed, they suddenly announced a substitution.

Shan Nanqui looked at the metal round badge in his hand, still saying nothing. Instead, he turned his gaze to Jing Guo Xiaoqi's great general Xia Houlie.

Xiahou Lie lay back lazily in his seat and said, "Since even Cao Ge said so, let's just do it."

"If there are no objections…" Xin Nanqui made a formal turn, showing fairness and openness, then said: "Then I announce, Yue Guo Bai Yu Xia, advances to the Yellow River Grand Tournament!"

“I have an opinion!” one voice said.

The speaker is downstairs.

Everyone followed the sound and saw Bai Yu Xia.

Here was a man with skin as white as snow and features of extraordinary beauty. He wore a narrow-sleeved robe the color of moonlight, standing beneath the platform numbered Yi at the martial arts arena.

Among all the losers in this round, he was in relatively good shape, but the bloodstains on his body also showed how hard he had fought along the way.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Xian Nanqui looked down at him, a little surprised: "You have an opinion"

"Gathering of the Yellow River, Meeting of Heaven's Chosen!"

Bai Yu Xia slowly said, "I learned swordsmanship at the age of three, and practiced spells at ten. I never stopped, day or night, throughout the year. My skill has finally reached this point where I can come to the Guanhe Platform and compete with heroes from all over the world."

“Today, I lost. I was outmatched by my opponent. I can only blame myself.”

“The Jingguo prodigy withdrew from the competition, creating an extra spot in the main tournament. This is a stroke of luck for us failures. I'm very grateful that you are willing to nominate me as a replacement. Thank you, Jiang Tianjiao, for recognizing my abilities.”

“But should I obtain the qualifying spot for the main tournament in such a humiliating way Jingguotiao, the pride of the nation, gave up, while other prodigies fought to the brink of death. I lost more easily, less tragically... Shouldn't I be the one to get this spot”

Bai Yu Xia shook her head. "I refuse."

“My pride won't allow me to accept it. As a man of the Han nationality, I absolutely cannot accept charity.”

The victory I crave is one earned with integrity. The honor I aspire to is won through hard-fought battles on the battlefield.

He stood on the stage for martial arts competition, number one. His eyes swept over Xian Nanqui, Cao Jie, and Xia Houlie, then he said with force: "I request that we give the other two defeated geniuses some time to recover their injuries, so we can fight again! Only a truly undisputed genius is worthy of this heroic stage!"

“Good!” Huang Sheli shouted from the stands. He raised his right fist, adding to his momentum.

And on all sides, the stands rose in wave after wave of raised fists. Spectators from foreign nations expressed their respect through their actions.

White Jade's choice is undoubtedly one worthy of respect.

This is the ambition of a hero, this is the action of a hero!

Why is the confluence of the Yellow River so highly anticipated

>

That's because those attending this grand gathering are all the most elite prodigies from each nation.

Whether it's dislike or fondness, one has to admit that everyone who stands on this riverbank battlefield possesses a unique charm.

A jade piece with a slight flaw, just like this.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

His pride, his dignity, were laid bare here in all their purity.

Shan Nanqui raised an eyebrow without speaking.

This is a test.

Xiahou Lie looked at Bai Yuxia with great interest, letting Huang Sheli egging him on without saying a word.

Cao Jie then acted as if he hadn't heard anything, with a nonchalant expression.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Joeli's eyes lit up, excitedly transmitting, "Does he have a grudge against the Xia Kingdom This is hitting him right in the face!"

Jiang Wang ignored him. He had no interest in gossiping about others in front of so many strong people, especially not with this guy. Even a street vendor would know better than to gossip openly!

Speaking of which, the relationship between the countries of Yue and Xia has always been quite good. Perhaps it is because they both need to face pressure from the hegemonic state, a bit of sympathy for each other's plight. But there is another very important reason: the students of Mu Gu Academy enter the officialdom most often in the countries of Yue and Xia.

Since many officials from both countries went to school together in their younger years, communication between them is naturally easier.

But competition, of course, there is as well.

White Jade Defect's statement indeed gives a good feeling, but in comparison, it inevitably makes the previous pity seem more hateful.

It's hard to say whether he himself had malicious intent, but Colin saying he was hitting Cumbly in the face isn't unreasonable.

Chù Mǐn did not remain silent, but instead proactively spoke up before several prominent figures voiced their opinions. He said, "I completely understand Bai Ge's pride. We have cultivated for so long, not to pick up the leftovers of others. But the issue is, is your personal honor and disgrace more important, or are the national interests of Yue Guo more important Please, Bai Ge, think carefully about this."

He really said it!

He was both persuading Bai Yuxia and explaining himself. I feel sorry for him, why would he not care about his reputation, bearing the scorn of others, looking for opportunities in the losers' competition Wasn't it all for Xia Guo For national interests, I pity how much he values his life!

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In contrast, your behavior, Bai Yu-Xia, seems rather selfish. You prioritize personal face over national interests.

At the same time, he couldn't help but point out maliciously that no matter what way Bai Yu Xia chose to fight for this spot, she was just picking up other people's "leftovers", nothing more than a beggar. After all, even if he felt pity, he still won his bowl of rice by relying on himself at the table.

Regardless of whether Bai Yu's words were intended to target him or belittle him, Touching was resolute in his "retaliation."

Bai Yu's eyes met Chu Min's, and she spoke earnestly: "Chu brother, I cannot agree with your idea. I came to the Guanhe Pavilion representing Yue Country to compete with heroes from all over the world. My honor and disgrace are that of Yue Country. If this were just a personal matter for Bai Yu, I would disregard face and fight for some benefits; there's nothing wrong with that. But today, I represent Yue Country. I absolutely will not allow myself to do anything that shames the country!"

This counterattack was much more fierce.

In this gathering of national prodigies, one's personal face is the nation's face. Otherwise, you would be touched by such a person who disregards personal honor and disgrace. Why bother explaining yourself here

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Chu Bi's mouth twitched, and she immediately wanted to reply again.

But at this time, Cao Jie spoke up.

Read books to get cash! Follow our official WeChat account for cash/points.

Just now, he still had that aloof and detached expression. But at this moment, he leaned forward slightly, immediately making his presence known to everyone.

"Seeing one leaf fall, we know autumn has arrived. Today, seeing Bai Yu Xia, my heart is filled with comfort! From Bai Yu Xia, I see the glory of Yue Country. I am happy that they have not dishonored their history. A person may lack wealth, but not backbone. A country may lack riches, but not dignity! On behalf of Qi Country, I agree to give two days for healing, giving other injured young people a chance. I also, on my own behalf, hope that Bai Yu Xia can rightfully obtain this main competition spot!"

Cao Jie’s words were spoken with great passion and fervor.

This appears to be a simple HTML tag. There is no text content within the tags for me to translate. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Not a single word mentioned Xia, but every sentence was scolding Xia.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Without giving him any chance to refute, they nailed Xia Guotiao to the pillar of shame, smashing Xia Guo's face into pieces.

That's really bullying.

But Cao Jie seemed to have no psychological burden at all, with the look of "an old man chatting about the youthful madness, now full of passion and excitement."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Letting the person next to him, Jiang Wang, feel extremely strange!

The Grand Astrologer Xi Mengfu of the Xia Kingdom was absent today for unknown reasons. Even if he had been present, it would have been difficult to find an opportunity to speak.

>

Because Cao Jie spoke up at this moment, he was discussing the qualification for the main event of the Yellow River Tournament with Xian Nanqui and Xia Houlie. In a broader sense, they were discussing the rules of the Yellow River Tournament. Besides the six strongest nations in the world, no one else had the right to speak.

Whoever dares to covet this power, the Six Great Powers will let them know what it means to be the Six Great Powers.

“Since even Cao Ge has said so, of course I agree. Let’s settle it like this.” Xiahoulie yawned and stood up: “This place is really boring. I came here to watch the fight, not to see you guys argue. Xiao Sheli, are you leaving or not”

"Let's go!" Huang Sheli rolled up his battle armor and got up, following Xia Houlie behind. He was truly decisive and efficient.

The brief spat between Bai Yuxia and Chu Min was indeed a delightful one. However, after being teased by Xia Houlie like this, it's hard not to feel embarrassed.

>

White jade flaws might be okay.

Cao Jie had cut off his chance to retaliate, the taste of bitterness only he could know.

Shan Nankui pondered for a moment, then said: "That's settled. Give you two days to recover. Then we'll decide the last qualifying spot for the final round of the inner court competition."

The six major powers of the world, others could not possibly be unaware of what happened here. Their silence implies acceptance of the outcome.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Therefore, the discussion of these three people can already be considered the final decision.

For the entire Yellow River Gathering, tomorrow will determine the main match quota for the outer court, and the day after tomorrow will determine the main match quota for the under-30 unrestricted field. This way, the time is just right.

Returning from the “World Stage”.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask Cao Jie: "Do you have any relationship with that General Xiahou in Jing State"

Xiahoulie said "Cao ge (older brother Cao) says it counts" on one side and "Just listen to Cao ge" on the other, showing his complete deference to Cao Cao. It's hard not to wonder about their relationship.

Cao Jie said lightly, "Considered acquaintances. We've had a few disputes at the back of the Ten Thousand Demons Gate and clashed with each other's troops."

Jiang Wangzhi said with understanding, "It seems like you convinced him."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Cao Jie smiled and said, "It's a draw."

"Why so polite" Jiang Wang said earnestly. "Since even General Xiahou has been defeated by you, what else is there to say!"

Cao Jie gave him a glance: "That's just because I'm older than him."

"You're too humble!" Jiang Wang said with a look of concern on his face: "It's not that I'm flattering you, but just now at the Tianxia Stage, you were so imposing and powerful. You completely overshadowed even Xian Nan Kui! Compared to you, those titles like 'Grand Priest of Mu Guo' and 'Grand General of Jing Guo' are nothing."

Cao Jie gave him a look that clearly said, "You're sucking up to me." "Your flattery is too obvious," he said. "Go back and practice some more... Just tell me, what do you want from me"

The gathering of the Yellow River is, of course, fair, and it can even be said to be the fairest selection in the world. Because among the six strongest forces in the world, no one would allow any party to control the main competition.

Xian Nan's "discussion on the relationship between host and guest" was immediately attacked by a chorus of voices, which is also a microcosm of the competition among powers at the Yellow River Conference. They all vied for fame, status, and influence, engaging in confrontations on every front.

Every peerless genius can only rely on their own strength to win, which is undeniable.

But is there an unspoken agreement among the six top powers

Of course.

>

For example, in the first round of the Yellow River Summit, top players from the Six Heavenly Tyrants would never face each other.

For example, this year's official competition list...

Following the precedent of previous years, the next match would undoubtedly pit Liao Guo's Yelu Zhi against Huang Sheli.

The Northwest Five Nations Alliance danced with glee, but Jing Guo would never hesitate to strike hard.

Similarly, Xiao Shu from the State of Dan would inevitably encounter Qin Zhizhen from the State of Qin.

The new prodigy from the Mu country was originally supposed to face Jiang Limeng from the Sheng country. Now that Jiang Limeng is gone, they will likely choose a comparatively weaker opponent.

Jingguo and Weiguo are separated by a long river, so it is reasonable for Jingguo's prodigy to challenge Wuguo's Dongguobao. Now that Jingguo's prodigy has abandoned the competition, Dongguobao might face Songguang's Yinwenhua. But this 'maybe'...is truly uncertain. Because for countries outside the top six, as long as they are not chosen by the six major powers, the quota matching is indeed very fair and very random.

As the Tianjiao of Qi State, Jiang Wang's first opponent in the first round would naturally be Chu Min from Xia State. Or it could also be Jiang Shaohua from Shen State.

Because Shen was located north of Qi, and not far to the north was Dong Wanggu, the two were somewhat connected. It could even be said explicitly that Dong Wanggu supported Shen from behind, allowing Shen to maintain its independence in front of Qi.

Generally speaking, the first round is likely to be aimed at either Touchin or Jiang Shaohua, depending on Qi Guo's current strategy and who they prioritize weakening first.

And Jiang Wang restrained his flamboyant expression, looking earnestly at Cao Jie: "For the first round of the Yellow River meeting, I want to fight Lin Zhengren."

He stressed: "Lin Zhengren of the Zhuang state." no flags or cheering.On Jueming Island, its own duties kept the soldiers busy. However, wherever Jiang Wang went, he was met with eyes of reverence.The Marquis of Wu'an, Great Qi, who commanded thre...
