Subduing the Dragon and Shattering Jade, the Gate-Worship Great Medicine!

Today was the annual Grand Tournament for the Recommendation Slots.

Winning a place here was like qualifying for the World Cup: it meant representing the Martial Arts Hall at the Crossing River Association and competing against the enclave's young talents.

A Zhen, Big Silly Qiang, Liu Chun, and Old Chen had risen early and come to the Martial Arts Hall. They had been waiting for this day.

Li Xiuwen sighed. Standing off to the side, he could swear to heaven he had never said that.

Little Loudspeaker was pretty too, but she was still too young and hadn't grown into her looks. She would probably inherit her mother's beauty someday.

With A Zhen there, Uncle-in-law and Aunt-in-law soon grew comfortable with the First-Floor disciples. They showed the two elders to their seats and brought them tea and water.

Li Xiuwen appreciated that and decided to find time to give
