BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
2 - Wushi Mountain Sect

"Buddy..!" Jing Hao continued to call Chu Kai and tried to catch up with the young man. He flinched when he saw Chu Kai standing in front of a large wall and gluing his body. He looks like he's being a lizard.

Jing Hao's footsteps became calmer as he saw how ridiculous his friend's level was. He breathed and began to open his voice.

"What are you doing?" Jing Hao asked without a tone and made Chu Kai turn his head towards him.

"Oh, you're here apparently. Let's help me get through this wall,"

Jing Hao blinked, he scratched his temple and began to stand beside Chu Kai. He said, "This wall is five meters high and maybe even more. You'll break a bone if you come through here. Never mind, let's find another way."

Simultaneously when Jing Hao's words were finished, the sound of the gong accompanied by a powerful drum made them gasp in shock. Chu Kai pulled up his friend and said, "That's a sign that his election has already begun. We're gonna be late..! Come help me. Push my ass, hurry up..!"

Jing Hao blinked a few times and then exhaled. He had no choice but to help his best friend through this high wall, though he was sure it would not work.

"Kai, do you really like those Sacred Swordsmen? You do this too they won't praise you, ukh!" Jing Hao tried to push his friend's buttocks and even let his shoulder to step on.

Kai who tried to reach the end of the wall said, "Don't you already know the answer? Let's push again. Higher up..!"

"Geez, this is going to go to waste. You won't be able to. Let's find another way, ouch..!" Jing Hao groaned and nagged as Chu Kai nearly stepped on his face.

"A little more ..." Chu Kai could hear the fanfare inside there and he really wanted to enter. His hand almost reached the end of the wall as Jing Hao's foot accidentally stepped on the rock and made his balance go wrong.

The two young men fell down where Jing Hao screamed as Chu Kai struck his stomach very hard. Even almost 'his future' is threatened because of this incident.

"Wake Kai. Are you going to kill me?! Ow.."

"I'm sorry, I didn't accidentally. Ow.." Chu Kai grimaced and was just about to help his friend when his eyes were turned on a tree.

Jing Hao had just reached out and asked Chu Kai for help when the friend brushed his hand away. He blinked and saw Chu Kai rushing to one of the trees that was quite close to the wall.

"Did he not give up?" Jing Hao was not at a loss with the young man he had known for a long time. He sighed softly and then woke up to catch up with Chu Kai.

"Geez, is Miss Xia so valuable to you that even this friend of yours you ignore, huh?" Jing Hao watched Chu Kai who was trying to climb a tree in a strange style.

"You just help me get on the ride. Can't you be a little kind?"

"Hmphs. Your gays climb up like mustard caterpillars, you know?"

"Buddy?"

"All right! You are truly troublesome," Jing Hao helped Chu Kai back. He was a close friend of this young man and knew very well how much his friend had admired the Five Sacred Swordsman, especially Miss Xia Ling Qing.

Chu Kai managed to climb up and his legs were now treading on one of the branches. He also tried to go up higher and try to reach another branch.

Jing Hao caught up with his friend climbing up and continued to help Chu Kai while still grieving. They heard the sound of drums being pounded and getting boisterous.

Chu Kai was cautious while walking on one of the branches to reach the top of the stone wall. He even changed his position and hugged the big branch while trying to get closer. This action when seen by others will likely look so ridiculous.

"Almost until ... Almost there ... Miss Xia, wait for me..!"

Jing Hao sighed for the umpteenth time. He said, "I've always supported whatever you do, and even troubled myself to do something strange. The question is, why am I so good to you?"

Jing Hao said, "It feels as if I saw you doing a detrimental action and just let it go. Why would I let you?"

"If you're done talking, why don't you jump in here?" Chu Kai was already sitting on top of the wall and appeared to be extending his hand.

Jing Hao clucked and was forced to follow his friend. He jumped up and almost fell down if Chu Kai did not help him immediately.

Jing Hao's heart was pounding, this was because what he was doing now was at very high risk. Of course one of the risks was that he was likely able to break a bone just from following Chu Kai's wishes.

While being breath-regulating and also calming the heart-thumping sound of the drum being sprinkled attracted Jing Hao's attention. He began to look ahead and his eyes opened.

When Jing Hao looked shocked and in disbelief, Chu Kai was different again. The 18-year-old looked stunned by how magnificent the building looked.

The vast courtyard of the Wushi Mountain Sect was filled with people crammed into each other. Chu Kai felt lucky that he did not pass through the gate until there was no need for such a jostling.

Even in this position, he was quite able to see how beautiful the dance elements of martial arts from the Wushi Mountain Sect were.

Chu Kai's spirit was burning as Xia Ling Qing's name began to be called out. He could see people coming back boisterous as if they had indeed come to witness this beautiful and talented girl.

"I want to take a closer look," Chu Kai was still too far away from the arena stage where Xia Ling Qing was displaying his sword skills.

Chu Kai's gaze led to one of the roofs that were made into seats by several people in light blue uniforms. She happily asked Jing Hao to follow her.

Jing Hao himself gasped, not knowing what this friend was going to do. He called out to Chu Kai and stayed behind the young man.

"Kai..! Where are you going?" Jing Hao was wide-eyed as his friend started to stand up. He said, "Be careful. You could fall..!"

"I'm fine," Chu Kai looked for a closer distance so that he and his friend could climb onto the roof. They are certainly careful and absolutely do not reprimand anyone because everyone is busy with their respective affairs.

Chu Kai and Jing Hao finally managed to climb onto one of the roofs despite some difficulties. The two people were currently trying to go to the higher roof and trying to get a closer look at Miss Xia Ling Qing.

"I think this is a good place," Chu Kai exhaled and seemed satisfied to be able to watch the arena stage without anyone getting in the way.

Chu Kai turned his head to the side and not far from him there were also people sitting while talking about this election. He looked back at the arena stage and was amazed to see the holy warrior he admired.

Chu Kai looked at Xia Ling Qing, the beautiful and long-haired girl seen fighting against the same five disciples as him. The fight was fierce and even produced a thumping sound as well as sparks.

Jing Hao looked at his friend's expression and said without a tone, "Have you seen him?"

"Mn," Chu Kai replied without turning his head, his lips forming a smile and he said, "Miss Xia Ling Qing is much prettier than I saw in the painting. Besides, he's also so great and awesome."

Jing Hao knew that Chu Kai did not understand his words just now. He said, "What I'm asking is about how you and Miss Xia Ling Qing are. Look, the distance between you and that girl is very far."

Jing Hao took a breath and then said, "Miss Xia Ling Qing is the daughter of the Sect Elder. While you're just the son of a not-so-famous tavern owner. This one alone is already the difference between you and that girl, so can you still dream?"

Jing Hao said, "There are so many differences between you and Miss Xia and the most striking is your status. Realize, man, you're just an ordinary man. While Miss Xia was a figure of an admired swordsman."

Chu Kai only momentarily listened to his friend speak, he was too stunned by what he was witnessing at the moment.

Away before him, on the arena stage was seen a 17-year-old girl with an heirloom sword in her right hand. The girl had a beautiful face, charming and had an aura that was not playful. He was the pride of the Wushi Mountain Sect.

Xia Ling Qing was an Expert Level swordsman and this achievement was great at such a young age. In addition, five of his senses had sharper abilities than the other warriors. He even had a perfect fire spiritual core.

Xia Ling Qing trained her first cultivation at the age of 5, two years faster than the other child. His personality is formed with the results of training and upbringing of his family, he is a golden boy who dazzles people with his talent.

For Xia Ling Qing's fight, the beautiful girl was even able to defeat her opponent in just a few moves. His sword technique was perfect and the Three Streams of Fire Circle was one of the most formidable moves his opponents had yet to break.

Xia Ling Qing's fighting style was admirable and so beautiful, even in the eyes of an ordinary person like Chu Kai. The young man did not understand about the level of practice or anything related to cultivation, he only knew that his Miss Xia Ling Qing was very beautiful and full of charm.

When Chu Kai began to imagine the future with Xia Ling Qing, the gong voice again sounded. This time that went up on stage was a young man who was also one of the Five Sacred Swordsmen, the fanfare was even greater.

Jing Hao seemed amazed to see one of the Five Sacred Swordsmen displaying his abilities in practicing martial arts.

"That's great. They are people blessed by the heavens. I don't know how to say it, but upon seeing there was someone who could shoot as fast as lightning and slash in just a single swing of the sword it felt .... It was as if a human god had been born to earth."

Jing Hao took a breath, "I never get tired of admiring the abilities of those swordsmen. Sometimes I think, how can they float in the air and even fight in the sky. It feels so impossible if you don't see it for yourself, right?"

Jing Hao was stunned as he turned his head. Chu Kai who was sitting next to her looked very enthusiastic, but only at Miss Xia Ling Qing. He spoke at length and asked his friend's opinion.

Jing Hao exhaled before reopening his voice, "Kai? Did you hear me? Kai...!"

"Huh? What did you say?" Chu Kai only turned his head for a moment before looking at Xia Ling Qing who was standing quietly. He also returned to smiling to himself.

".............." Jing Hao shook his head slowly. He then said, "You look at Miss Xia until your eyeballs come out, the girl won't turn her head. He comes from a completely different world to ours,"

"Whatchu mean? We're both under the same roof of the sky, breathing the same air, so which might be different."

"Kai, you've been blinded by love. Take a good look, Miss Xia Ling Qing is a swordsman. You know what that means? She is not the same as an ordinary woman. He is strong, great, and respected. Of course for a life partner, he would look for a man who was on par with him. Not someone like you,"

Chu Kai turned his head when he heard Jing Hao speak, he watched his good friend carefully and said. "So you think Miss Xia will choose a swordsman to marry her?"

"True, the truth is. There's no way he's gonna pick a shopkeeper,"

Chu Kai looked at the sky for a moment before muttering, "Being a swordsman ... But who knows, it might be possible without being a swordsman-I and Miss Xia are destined to be together by the heavens."

"Huh," Jing Hao snorted. He nodded slowly and scratched his head. This friend had indeed blinded the charm of a girl.

On the other hand, Chu Kai's eyes only pointed at Xia Ling Qing, he did admire the other holy swordsmen, but his sense of admiration was more towards Xia Ling Qing.

Jing Hao watched the friend sitting beside him this and shook his head slowly several times. He said, "Didn't you see it? Hmph, Kai. I don't want to bully me, but just wake up. Miss Xia Ling Qing was there, while you were in this place. You guys are so far away and you know what it's like? Like the sun and a grain of sand. Even the ground is a parable too big for you,"

In fact, no matter how hard Jing Hao spoke and resuscitated Chu Kai. The young man again did not listen and his attention was only on the figure of Xia Ling Qing who seemed to be standing quietly.

Chu Kai without turning his head said with a smile, "What do you think my son and Miss Xia will be like?"

Jing Hao was shocked, barely falling. He sighed and said, "Your son with Miss Xia is an impossibility. You've gone too far, stop it, man. I don't forbid you to dream, but this dream of yours is too high"

A loud sound like a bolt of lightning suddenly sounded from the arena stage. Jing Hao and Chu Kai were surprised instead of playing. Both felt that their hearts had almost collapsed.

The young blue-clothed youth who was standing on the arena stage was seen sheathing back his sword. He put both hands together and then saluted the Elders of the Wushi Mountain Sect. The 23-year-old handsome young man was named Wei Zhang Zihan.

The other holy warriors then went up to the arena stage and were ready to show their abilities. Everyone was stunned, cheering his name.

On the other hand, Xia Ling Qing was completely unaffected by the people around him. He focused on paying attention to his comrades who were fighting against the disciples of Wushi Mountain Palace.

Liu Han Ying, one of the saint swordsmen seemed to cross hands and spoke calmly beside Xia Ling Qing. He said, "For everyone this is entertainment, but we are actually practicing and demonstrating abilities in front of Master Zhuang."

Xia Ling Qing heard it and saw some people who looked so excited. His facial expression was calm, but the look in his eyes contained something else.

The elder of the Wushi Mountain Sect as well as the father of Xia Ling Qing nodded slowly as his disciple saluted. He was a 40-year-old elder named Xia Feng Hua.

Next to him stood a man dressed in white who appeared to be 37 years old. The man had a friendly and soothing face with his eyes constantly closed.

Jing Hao who was on the roof was more focused on paying attention to the holy swordsman who was fighting. He was amazed at the abilities possessed by those warriors.

"How can they be that strong? That's remarkable.." Jing Hao mumbled softly.

"Not only is she strong, Miss Xia is also very beautiful."

"You only see Miss Xia Ling Qing alone, try to pay attention to the others-"

"Who is this?"

Chu Kai and Jing Hao gasped when they heard a foreign voice. The two turned their heads and saw a man dressed in light blue standing behind them.

Jing Hao blinked, this man had a strange look and seemed to dislike them. Somehow he felt that the present situation would be unpleasant for them.

"I've been watching you since. So it was you who dared to look at Miss Xia and put your intentions on her, huh?"

"Who are you?" Chu Kai did not know who this young man was. He was about to speak when suddenly his collar was pulled and he was lifted to his feet. Jing Hao was greatly shocked by the shocking change.

"Not playing, you're just an ordinary young man. How dare you look at our Miss Xia,"

Chu Kai firmly held the hand that gripped the collar of his clothes. He said, "I don't know you at all. What the fuck are you?"

"You don't even deserve to know my name, you ugly bastard."

"Wait a minute, Young Master!" Jing Hao tried to prevent this young man from doing anything to his friend. He said frantically, "My friend only looked at Miss Xia Ling Qing. Not mean at all to be mean to him,"

The young man's eyes looked dark. His voice was cold as he said, "Look? Is Miss Xia Ling Qing an entertainment worth seeing?"

Jing Hao was shocked. Instead of calming this young man down, he was angering him. He really doesn't know what to talk about anymore. They offended someone.

"What's your problem?" Chu Kai snapped, "I noticed Miss Xia has nothing to do with you either."

"Nr ..." Jing Hao was flabbergasted by this crazy bravery of Chu Kai. Does his friend want to die?!

"Not shameless at all ... How dare you!" the young man growled furiously and directly threw Chu Kai's body without warning. Jing Hao exclaimed until his feet slipped and almost fell off the roof.

Chu Kai shouted, he did not expect to be thrown high once and also very far. He's gonna die..! He will surely die..!
