After the birthday banquet concluded, the entire Heavenly Realm focused on the upcoming martial arts competition. The participants engaged in training sessions that were so severe that their limbs threatened to fall off, but they still had to persevere.
The shiny throne stood just before their eyes. Whoever claimed it at the end of the competition would bring eternal glory to themselves and their birth clans.
During the three months that led to the competition, Xie Jianyu worked hard on his sword skills. The sprained ankle from the birthday banquet set him back one week from his original plan, but he quickly bounced back in no time thanks to his formidable cultivation.
Jiang Muchen came to Fuxi Palace almost every week for either dual cultivation or a sparring session with his little uncle. After coming to visit several times, he gave Xie Jianyu a quizzical look and asked a curious question while they were resting.
