“In the past, when the first round of selections started, how many candidates were left?” Lu Shu asked.

Yi Qian thought about it. “Probably a dozen. The game of chess in the city will eliminate a majority of the candidates. Some say that the period when the selections have just begun is the most dangerous. Candidates have to protect themselves from being killed.”

When Lu Shu heard this, he sighed with emotion. “Look! In the past, only a dozen people were left. This time, over thirty people are left. Am I harming them? No! I am protecting them!”

“Heh heh.” Lu Xiaoyu laughed coldly. The results may seem so, but why did the others not eliminate the other candidates? All of them were hiding so that they would not be discovered by Lu Shu.

However, as a result, they did not have the time to determine the situation before the first round of selections began.

“The gambling dens will predict how many people will join the first round every year. I’m sure that many people have placed bets wrongly. Thus, the gambling dens should earn a lot of money this time.” Lu Shu rubbed his chin. “Shouldn’t they share some of the profits with me? But it will not be easy getting this money. I don’t know whether they will acknowledge me either.”

Lu Xiaoyu took out a fresh set of clothes and passed it to Lu Shu. “Go to the Sword Hut. We will wait here for you. Today’s public occasion is more important. Wear a new set of clothes.”

Lu Shu was suddenly slightly absent-minded. He felt that this had happened in the past. Back then, when Lu Shu sent Lu Xiaoyu to school, he had bought her a new bag, new clothes, and a new pair of white shoes.

“Okay. Wait for me to come back. Yi Qian, you have to focus on information from the outside world. If there is any movement from Duanmu Huangqi, tell me using the transmission mirror,” said Lu Shu.

“Yes,” said Yi Qian respectfully.

The palace was in an unstable position. They could not let their guard down.

Furthermore, when Lu Shu said this, he wanted to add extra protection. But Yi Qian was different. Yi Qian was thinking about the supremacy of the king!

To Yi Qian, Lu Shu was going to fight for hegemony and enter the palace of the King of Gods. This was considered nothing.

Lu Shu wanted to find a way home and kill Duanmu Huangqi if he could. To Yi Qian, he would kill everyone that stood in the way of the throne. They would have to face these enemies sooner or later. The old King of Gods had done the same, right?

Thus, Lu Shu did not feel that there was much danger now. He was Lu Shu, a guest in the Luniverse.

On the other hand, Yi Qian was prepared for a hellishly difficult path ahead…

Lu Shu went to the Sword Hut. Yi Qian subconsciously looked at Lu Xiaoyu. “Should I look for information?”

Lu Xiaoyu thought about it. She hesitated. Then, she said. “Er… leave the transmission mirror here so that I can communicate with Lu Shu conveniently.”

Yi Qian took out the mirror and left. Li Liang stood sheepishly. What should he do? No one had given him any tasks!

“Then what do I do?” Li Liang suddenly asked.

Lu Xiaoyu thought about it. “You can clean the house. After that, buy some ingredients and cook.”

“From Li Liang’s distress, +666!”

He was shocked. Had they spent such a valuable fruit to buy a chef? Li Liang was a peak Rank One. He would not lose to anyone unless it was a master. But this was what he was used for? Li Liang could not bear this humiliation!

Li Liang thought about it and said, “What do you usually like to eat?”

“Bring all the seasonings that you can find on the streets here. Let me take a look.”

Lu Shu covered his face and walked towards the Sword Hut. They lived in the east part of the palace, where the Sword Hut was. When they chose the location, they had chosen it based on the position of the Sword Hut. Lu Xiaoyu did not want to stay too far away from the Sword Hut.

At first, Lu Shu was afraid that he would be recognized. But he was overanxious. There were far too many people going to the Sword Hut. The civilians wanted to take this opportunity to pass the time. The clouds concealing the Sword Hut had finally parted… Lu Shu almost could not squeeze in!

Under these circumstances, who cared about who the people beside them were?!

Everyone gathered outside of the Sword Hut. There were no walls surrounding the Sword Hut, only a bamboo fence. The bamboo fence was thin and sparse, as if they were bamboo branches that had been conveniently picked up.

The crowd did not break through the bamboo fence because of its fragility. On the other hand, they obeyed the rules and waited outside.

The Sword Hut was very broad. It was built in the northeastern corner of the palace. It was filled with grass. A small road was paved with limestone bricks.

Lu Shu looked at the Sword Hut and saw two statues at the entrance of the Sword Hut. There was one boy and one girl, but Lu Shu did not recognize them. There were a dozen people standing by the statues, with their hands clasped behind their backs. It was as if they were waiting for something.

Lu Shu knew that there were few people in the Sword Hut, as the past disciples had gone out to the various armies. They maintained social order for the King of Gods. This was administered by the Sword Hut.

The people left in the Sword Hut were geniuses who wanted to break through the realm of Rank One. They stayed in the Sword Hut and trained. They wanted to advance to the Master Realm.

There were not many people who wanted to undergo this bitter training. They were all Rank Ones. Lu Shu felt that it was not easy to overlook their strength.

Suddenly, a candidate walked through the crowd and entered the Sword Hut. He loudly proclaimed, “I, Yu Wentao, have come to participate in the Sword Hut selections.”

Gu Lingfei, who was wearing white robes and riding a black panther, appeared out of thin air beside the statues. She calmly said, “Wait.”

Once the first person appeared, the second appeared as well. Very quickly, all the Sword Hut candidates appeared in front of the statue. Lu Shu counted the number of people before walking out of the crowd.

When he walked into the Sword Hut, the civilians were in an uproar. “Isn’t that Lu Shu, the one who took our money?”

“He is really daring to come here!”

“He is really daring to enter the Sword Hut!”

Someone suddenly sighed with emotion. “This is the disciple of the Sword Hut with the worst reputation.”

Lu Shu did not care. The people inside the Sword Hut did not seem to care about him either. Gu Lingfei sat on her black panther and looked down at Lu Shu. Her eyes were icy cold…

The situation was very awkward. If Gu Lingfei, the manager, did not speak, the rest of the Sword Hut disciples would not talk either. Everyone was waiting for her. Gu Lingfei looked coldly at Lu Shu, thinking about something. Suddenly, Gu Lingfei asked Lu Shu, “Aren’t you planning to say something?”

Say something? Lu Shu looked around. “Since everyone is here, shall we start?”

The onlookers were silent.

Gu Lingfei was speechless.

The candidates did not speak.

When did you become the host? Aren’t you also an outsider?

“From Gu Lingfei’s distress, +188!”

“From…”

Lu Shu saw that everyone was looking at him and was slightly uncomfortable. He looked at Yu Wentao. “Do you want to start dancing and liven things up?”

“From Yu Wentao’s distress, +748!”
