Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sun Zhongyang and Mo Xiaoya were very proud . They felt as though they were intelligent enough to familiarize themselves with Lu Shu’s plan beforehand and therefore was able to find “Lu Shu, the commander of the Wei Wu Army” so successfully .

“Hehe . ” Sun Zhongyang laughed, “This is what I found . I can’t pay you . You should be thankful that I am very forgiving and won’t look into the fact that you sneakily came over to look for Lu Shu . No matter what agreement you had with him, this issue has been settled . ”

According to what Sun Zhongyang thought, it was better not to offend the rear mountain of the Sword Hut . Therefore, he found this way out while conveniently getting the rewards for “finding Lu Shu” .

Meanwhile, just as Sun Zhongyang felt extremely proud, Ding Qiushui, who was on the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood . “Are you guys f*cking crazy, I am not Lu Shu, I am Ding Qiushui from the Guangan Army of the North Lord of Heaven, Yu Fuyao!”

As he said that, Ding Qiushui took out his tag . He was afraid that he would have been beaten to death if he was any slower…

“From Ding Qiushui’s distress points, +999!”

Ding Qiushui was extremely indignant . He was pressed on the ground and beaten up for no reasons . He initially thought that he was powerful enough as a Rank One . The recommendations by the Sword Hut were extremely popular, four Rank Ones came over!

Although he was the best out of all the elites, he could not win against four Rank Ones!

Ding Qiushui was troubled . Who the f*ck were they?! Ah?!

He had been to the palace for a while . Everyone knew that the selection of the Sword Hut involved fierce competition . If one did not look for others, others would still come after one .

However, he did not expect one to be so fierce . Wasn’t that f*cking cheating!

Ding Qiushui felt indignant when he initially saw how Lu Shu, the commander of the Wei Wu Army, was ranked number one in the small book . He wanted to meet Lu Shu but it seemed impossible now .

He definitely could not stay in the palace . He was severely injured and many people were staring at him . If he did not leave, his competitors in the Sword Hut selection would definitely attack him . By then, it would be too late for him to leave!

This was the unspoken rule of the Sword Hut selections . Leaving the palace meant that one had voluntarily forfeited . After that, nobody could take advantage of this situation .

Because of this rule, everyone was able to fight in the palace without any worries . If not, they would be attacked if they were severely injured and they would have been dead by now .

Actually, many people wanted to target Lu Shu . At least, the rest of the Rank One experts after Lu Shu had thought about that . To let a Rank Two get first place? What a joke .

Everyone there were experts and nobody would be happy with one another . Moreover, the Sword Hut selections included the native talented soldiers who returned after their training . Many of them were the aristocrats of the palace .

Of course, nobody would demand for a face-to-face fight . After many years of the Sword Hut selections, everyone knew that no matter how talented one was, if one was too cocky, one would not be able to last . The strategy was what mattered .

Therefore, some people disappeared after reaching the palace as they attempted to hide to monitor the situation .

Some people had discussed and wanted to collaborate and eliminate others . Since the start of the Sword Hut selections, everyone thought that a Rank Two was only a foil to the Rank Ones . However, that was not the actual case .

In the history of the Sword Hut selections, there was a Rank Two who passed the selections for almost every batch . Rank Ones were not undefeatable as there were many other Rank Ones waiting for their fall .

For this year’s Sword Hut selections, there were 47 people in total, comprising of eight Rank Ones and 39 Rank Twos . Of course, they did not calculate Lu Shu’s capability correctly and therefore, he could be considered to have a hidden capability .

Amongst the 30 over Rank Twos, there were definitely those who wanted to get rid of the Rank Ones . Those who dared to take part in the selection definitely had to be ambitious and courageous, or why would they be there?

To ordinary people, when they found out he who was meant to be a Rank One but was viewed as a Rank Two, they would definitely laugh about it .

However, Lu Shu could not laugh . That was because even if he was a Rank Two, he had been ranked first… Therefore, Lu Shu was slightly unhappy with the Song gambling den . Why didn’t they discuss with him?

The Song gambling den also felt desperate . They did not expect such a thing to happen too!

However, the biggest strength of Lu Shu was still his capability . At least, he was able to match up to a Rank Two . He was already thinking about how to get into the circle of the other Rank Two candidates…

Ding Qiushui stood up with the support of the wall and was ready to walk out as he packed his things . “I am really not Lu Shu, are you guys done beating me up? I’m leaving now . ”

Sun Zhongyang realized that something was amiss . He turned to look at Lu Shu . Lu Shu was very surprised . “Why is he Lu Shu? I have met Lu Shu before, he is not Lu Shu!”

Ding Qiushui heaved a sigh of relief . Thankfully, there was someone who could make sense of things… Hold on, Ding Qiushui suddenly realized that it was because of this young man who caused him to be beaten up?

However, he could not care about that any further . Ding Qiushui walked out of the backyard and announced at the top of his voice, “I, Ding Qiushui, am quitting the Sword Hut selection!”

After he finished his sentence, he pushed the rest aside and walked out of the courtyard . It was not because he had lost his flying capability but rather because the old King of Gods had changed the rules when he was building the palace . It was a land with a completely restricted airspace!

Sun Zhongyang was stunned as he stood in the courtyard . Why did they beat up the wrong person again? Hold on, everyone came over after hearing what Lu Shu said, moreover, Lu Shu’s actions were the same as what they had guessed . However, they mistook Ding Qiushui as Lu Shu!

Ding Qiushui did not know Lu Shu and neither did Lu Shu know Ding Qiushui . Everyone could tell that . So why did Lu Shu go there?Just to make use of the rest to kill Ding Qiushui?

However, what beneficial relationship did Lu Shu and Ding Qiushui have that required Lu Shu to do that? Lu Shu was not even a candidate for the Sword Hut selection!

Hold on, Sun Zhongyang looked at Lu Shu . There must be a reason for this . Ding Qiushui came from a foreign place and did not interact with Lu Shu before . The Sword Hut selection was the only possible reason why Ding Qiushui got into some conflicts with others!

When his deductions had eliminated all possibilities, the only answer, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth .

Sun Zhongyang felt extremely horrified when he saw Lu Shu’s smiling face . If his deduction was accurate, then it meant that throughout their entire journey…

Sun Zhongyang suddenly fell silent . “You all came from Nangeng City . ”

“That’s right . ” Lu Shu nodded his head .

“Lu Shu, the commander of the Wei Wu Army, had always been very mysterious . Even someone like Song Bo did not meet him before, yet you said you met him before,” said Sun Zhongyang calmly .

“That’s right . ” Lu Shu was smiling very happily . His white teeth were reflecting light under the sun . “You guessed it, I am Lu Shu . ”

Therefore, not only did Sun Zhongyang not manage to beat Lu Shu up, but he also helped Lu Shu get rid of two candidates of the Sword Hut selection after paying Lu Shu a huge sum of money . Sun Zhongyang was stunned . “Are you a demon?!”

“From Sun Zhongyang’s distress, +999!”

“From Mo Xiaoya’s distress, +999!”

“From…”
