Chapter 1218: Chapter 288: Treasure Book Glory Conference!

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards Lord Wuxiang, waiting for him to announce the competition rules.

Lord Wuxiang looked at the crowd below and said: ”This competition is divided into three parts. The first part is a battle for supremacy among the heroes!”

Lord Wuxiang continued: ”Due to the large number of participants in this competition, I just noticed around five to six thousand people registered. Therefore, the first stage is the battle for supremacy, with each group consisting of one hundred people. The last one standing can advance to the second round!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. One hundred people per group, five to six thousand people, which means there will only be fifty to sixty groups, and only fifty to sixty people can enter the second round.

Lord Wuxiang said: ”The second round will be a battle of seven heroes, where these sixty people will compete. Anyone who can defeat seven opponents consecutively can advance to the third stage.”

Defeating seven opponents consecutively.

The crowd sighed inwardly at hearing this; indeed, this is no easy feat. To defeat seven people consecutively requires significantly surpassing them in strength. However, upon reflection, if one is too weak, how could they have the audacity to contend for the Wu Mu’s Legacy?

With this in mind, Lord Wuxiang continued: ”The third stage is about winning the grand prize. The Prince Mansion will send three tributes as defenders, and any challenger who can defeat these three tributes will claim the grand prize and seize the world’s number one book!”

After saying this, Lord Wuxiang asked: ”Everyone, are you ready? If you are ready, then it can begin!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes turned to the stage.

Meanwhile, outside the main stage, there was still a large competition area. For this competition, a total of twelve streets in East City were cleared to host this event.

At this moment, Lord Wuxiang said: ”In a moment, scrolls will be distributed, containing the Thousand Character Classic: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, Yellow, Universe, Vast, Desolate...”

”Those who draw the same characters will form a group and proceed to the corresponding competition area to compete. The competition rules are either concede or make the opponent unable to stand. The last person standing will be the victor!”

Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent.

At this time, Prince Ruyang turned his head to look at Master Kudu and Hero Song, asking: ”Master, Hero Song, how do you find the arrangements for this conference? Is there anything amiss?”

Upon hearing this, Master Kudu looked at Prince Ruyang and said: ”The arrangements by Your Highness are excellent.”

Song Yuanqiao also nodded in agreement, saying: ”It’s detailed and clear.”

At this time, Master Kudu looked at Prince Ruyang and said: ”May this old monk offer a word or two?”

Upon hearing this, Prince Ruyang said: ”Master, please do!”

Upon saying this, Master Kudu stood up and said: ”Everyone.”

With a Buddhist chant entering their ears, everyone immediately turned their gaze to Master Kudu on the podium, as he put his palms together and said: ”Amitabha Buddha, everyone, this old monk would like to remind you all, we’re here to partake in His Highness’s grand event, to witness the grandeur of the world’s number one book.”

”We’re not here for Jianghu feuds; let’s hope everyone can exercise restraint. After all, we are born of the same root, why should we rush to harm each other?”

Finishing these words, Master Kudu put his palms together and bowed slightly to the crowd. The Jianghu people, who were already preparing to sharpen their knives against their compatriots, also froze for a moment, and a bit of hostility seemed to dissolve out of nowhere.

Seeing this scene, Prince Ruyang said nothing, just watched the people below with a smile, saying: ”Master, how many do you think will get hurt this time?”

Master Kudu looked at Prince Ruyang and said: ”Isn’t Your Highness already aware?”

Prince Ruyang said: ”What do you mean by Master Kudu’s words?”

Kudu said: ”As long as the human heart harbors greed, it will suffer, and with greed comes inevitable slaughter and regeneration, which cannot be controlled, and I cannot control it.”

Prince Ruyang looked at Kudu and said: ”I hadn’t expected Master to see things so clearly. Since Master understands, why did you still try to persuade earlier?”

Master Kudu said: ”Knowing is one thing, but doing is another. If I don’t try to persuade and save lives, the Buddha would blame me. Even though I know my words might not save many, they still need to be spoken; otherwise, I would have a Heart Demon.”

Prince Ruyang said: ”Master is wise.”

After saying this, Prince Ruyang turned his head to look at the crowd entering the competition area and said: ”What a pity, they do not understand Master’s good intentions.”

Saying this, not far away, Xiao Hu said to Hu Weiyong: ”Old Hu.”

Hu Weiyong looked at him, and Xiao Hu said: ”Do you think they know that many people will die in this competition?”

Hu Weiyong said: ”Of course they know.”

”So why do they obediently enter the arena to fight to the death? Letting us lead them by the nose?”

Hu Weiyong said: ”What is a rabble, this is a rabble.”

”Old Hu, don’t you think if the Great Monk, ranked fifth on the Heavenly List, called out and rallied these people against us, wouldn’t we have a hard time? Why reduce numbers in a competition like this?”

”If they really want the Wu Mu’s Legacy, why don’t they unite together to grab it?”

Hu Weiyong listened to this and looked at Xiao Hu, saying: ”Master Hu, you are mistaken. What does it mean to rally others? Which of the Jianghu people isn’t sharp? Which isn’t self-serving? The foolish ones are almost extinct.”

”Master Kudu may have influence, but if he called out to seize the Wu Mu’s Legacy, I ask you, who would it go to if they succeed?”

”This...”

Xiao Hu was instantly speechless. To whom would it go?

”To Master Kudu?”

Hu Weiyong said: ”Wouldn’t that mean Master Kudu used them to seize the book? Then think again, does the Prince, with his fifty thousand strong White Deer Army, allow them to take it? Even if they could, wouldn’t they suffer casualties?”

Xiao Hu said: ”Surely, there would be deaths?”

Hu Weiyong said: ”Since there would be deaths, what would those who die think? Are they risking their lives for Master Kudu to get the Wu Mu’s Legacy?”
