Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1410 - 53: Three Towns’ Youth—Who Is the Genius? Young Alliance Leader, the Two Competing Breakthroughs (2)

Martial Arts Pavilion, Alchemy Pavilion, Artifact Refining Pavilion...

There are so many wondrous things in Xia City that anyone who has seen them would want to live here.

Although Mu Yunhua had only been in Xia City for five days, these experiences were enough for him to completely understand why after the May rebellion, when the Mu Family fully took control of Chui Mountain, not a single elder, including Great-grandfather Mu Longhe, considered becoming independent.

Indeed, in the eyes of Mu Yunhua and many young members of the Mu Family, since the Mu Family had overthrown the Duan Family and taken Chui Mountain, the next step should be to gradually eliminate Great Xia’s influence, ultimately achieving independence and revitalizing Chui Mountain.

However, after the June Chui Mountain alliance, Great Xia only withdrew ten regiments, while five thousand Xia Army soldiers remained stationed in Chui Mountain Town, supposedly to protect it, but the real reason was clear to Mu Yunhua and everyone else.

In June and July, spurred by many people, Mu Yunhua repeatedly approached his father Mu Zihuo and grandfather Mu Qinghe with the idea of independence for Chui Mountain, only to be severely reprimanded by both. In the end, he had no choice but to seek out Great-grandfather Mu Longhe.

Now reflecting on it, Great-grandfather had sent him to Xia City, supposedly for cultivation in the Martial Arts Pavilion and participating in the Martial Arts Competition, but in fact, it was for him to personally assess Chui Mountain’s potential for independence from Great Xia!

Thinking of those who had previously incited him, a hint of coldness rose in Mu Yunhua’s eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, raised his head, and asked Jiang Yiye in front of him with slight irritation: "It seems Brother Jiang has lived in Xia City for a long time. The two of us only arrived five days ago, so we don’t really understand the situation of the Martial Arts Competition. We must ask Brother Jiang for guidance!"

He hadn’t forgotten Jiang Yiye’s earlier mockery.

Since the other party understood the situation of the Martial Arts Competition, it was natural to inquire.

Last year’s first Martial Arts Competition in the Three Towns, the news had already spread loudly in the Nine Towns. Although Mu Yunhua and his brother didn’t participate, they knew much about the details, including rankings, rewards, and the approximate strength of the top ten in both groups.

As luck would have it, the two brothers were just two or three months shy of twenty, fitting perfectly into the age limit for the youth group.

Last year’s youth group champion, Lu Dong, was less than 8 Manes in strength. Mu Yunhua now had nearly 9 Manes, stronger than him, so it seemed reasonable to consider winning the championship. Jiang Yiye’s mocking words must have a reason.

"You still don’t believe it, huh?"

Seeing Mu Yunhua’s slightly irritated face, Jiang Yiye immediately understood he was still bothered by his earlier mockery, and with a smile, shook his head: "You think you have a chance at the championship with less than 9 Manes? Then with my 11 Manes, wouldn’t I be the certain youth group champion?"

Mu Yunhua and his brother were instantly stunned by this remark.

When Jiang Yiye appeared, they could already tell his strength was greater than theirs, but 11 Manes was far beyond their expectations.

Before the brothers could react, a series of mocking voices sprang up from nearby, all targeting Jiang Yiye.

"Tch... 11 Manes for the championship, you’re crazy."

"Pfft, Jiang Yiye, aren’t you still dreaming?"

"Haha, 11 Manes, even making the top fifty is questionable."

"These two from Chui Mountain just arrived in the city, don’t know the situation and talk nonsense, but you’re stirring things up too."

......

It turns out Jiang Yiye spoke the words without lowering his voice, so many people training nearby heard clearly.

Upon hearing the others, Mu Yunhua immediately realized that everyone heard their conversation, though none had mocked them like Jiang Yiye.

But now he was too occupied to care, as his gaze was fixed on a young woman in a yellow dress within the crowd, his face full of confusion.

The reason being, the words "Even making the top fifty is questionable with 11 Manes" were spoken by the young woman in the yellow dress.

Mu Yunhua only wanted to figure out what that statement meant.

"Murong Jiao, your strength is similar to mine. If I can’t make the top fifty, you won’t either, humph!"

Coincidentally, Jiang Yiye’s retort revealed the identity of the young woman in the yellow dress.

Is it possible for someone from the Muyin Murong Family to possess 10 Manes at such a young age!

Mu Yunhua found himself completely unable to gauge Murong Jiao’s strength, his pupils slightly trembling, but this was just the beginning. As he glanced around at the dozen or so young people gathered, he discovered only two whose strength matched his, making him utterly bewildered.

"Brother Mu might not know these people yet! Come, let me introduce..."

Seeing Mu Yunhua’s expression, Jiang Yiye revealed a mischievous smile and began introducing people starting with Murong Jiao:

Muyin Murong Jiao, nineteen years old, 11 Manes strength;

Muyin He Qiufeng, nineteen years old, 13 Manes strength;

Muyin Murong Qian, eighteen years old, 12 Manes strength;

Muyin Liu Yu, nineteen years old, 13 Manes strength;

Jiangxia Jiang Yifan, nineteen years old, 12 Manes strength;

Jiangxia Xiahou Ning, nineteen years old, 15 Manes strength;

Jiangxia Qin Wuxin, seventeen years old, 13 Manes strength;

Jiangxia......

As Jiang Yiye listed the names, ages, and respective strengths of the seventeen young people present one after another, the expressions of Mu Yunhua and his brother became increasingly shocked, with their hearts trembling ceaselessly.

The seventeen young people in front of them, the one with the lowest basic strength, happened to be Murong Jiao, or rather, she and Jiang Yiye were tied for the lowest.
