Evil Samurai In Cultivation World

Chapter 35: Unexpected Issues

Claude opened his eyes, and in the depth of his eyes, a sharp, radiant light exploded forth. He felt extremely clear-headed, and he felt that his senses got even sharper, which had occurred as a result of the increase in his cultivation level.

As he moved and stretched, the crisp sounds of cracking could be heard from his body. This kind of feeling felt extremely great, as though all the cells in his body were incomparably comfortable.

"You finally got ready!" As Claude walked out of his courtyard, a voice drifted over and he turned to look, only to see Wilfred Beldon standing outside with a smile on his face.

"Senior Beldon, why are you here?" Claude said with a calm expression as he discovered his senior standing outside of his home.

"I've been waiting for you to come outside. Master asked me to escort you to the Prodigy Summit," he replied with a straight face.

"I see," Claude nodded his head, and walked forward, with Wilfred Beldon following close behind.

Despite it still being early morning, Sherfield City was already flooded with people. The County had mobilised 1,000 of their troops to provide security and maintain order, maintaining a tight security across the entire perimeter of the city. For those that came to spectate, they had to stay a distance away to avoid disrupting the commencement of the Prodigy Summit.

The crowd exclaimed in excitement in their hearts. This was indeed the grandest event to be held in the city this year.

The Prodigy Summit would officially commence today. The factions had invited all the dukes, lords, and important guests from the city.

"Those from the Royal family are here as well. I heard that the Royals were clashing with the Academies, but I suppose that was false," Some of the crowd cast their gazes over only to see a line of silhouettes walking up the flight of stairs. As the people representing the Royal Family, the Royal Ministers naturally had a seat on the spectator stands.

"Students from the various martial academies are arriving!" At this moment, more and more silhouettes began to appear. As they made their way up the flight of stairs, they caused much commotion.

"The Golden Avarice Academy's Flying Sword Faction has also arrived!"

"That young lady is really beautiful. Is she part of the Flying Sword Faction?"

"That's Ashley Winter, and she is indeed from the Flying Sword Faction. However, I heard she won't be participating today," Someone replied, as the crowd was enlightened.

"Trinity Academy's Dark Chariot Faction has also arrived."

"Silver Moon Academy's Black Pearl Faction came as well."

The crowd gazed fervently at the spectators stand, feeling immensely excited. The Prodigy Summit was about to commence!

Trinity Academy always had the strongest cultivators in the Sky Realm in the entire Clawferry Prefecture. However, this year was going to be a little bit different!

Silver Moon Academy placed tremendous importance on and held Dayton Palmer in exceptionally high regards, and some in the crowd couldn't help but curiously cast their gazes over to him.

Dayton stood on the side of his fellow Faction members quietly. He, who was handsome and extraordinary, naturally made him the focal point of attention. With good looks and exceptional talent, he certainly wouldn't lack any admirers.

"All rise to show their respect to the head representative of the Royal Family, Minister Frederick Hammer!"

At this moment, the gazes of the crowd shifted over to the best seats in the spectators' stand.

The one in the middle of those from the Royal Family was none other than Minister Fredrick Hammer. The Prodigy Summit was usually presided over by a representative from the Royal Family.

Claude was behind Senior Wilfred Beldon, standing shoulder to shoulder with his fellow junior teammates.

And in front of Wilfred, there was another figure, and that figure was the Second Elder.

Upon noticing the Second Elder, sharp glints of light flickered in the eyes of those part of the Royal Family. The eyes of these people had hints of heaviness within them.

At this moment, all the figures in the spectators' stand stood up, and paid their respects to the Representative of the Royal Family, Minister Frederick Hammer. The commencement of the Prodigy Summit would always start off with this etiquette where the spectators would rise in respect.

"Everyone, please be seated." Minister Frederick Hammer politely spoke as he waved his hands.

"Death to the Royals!" All of a sudden, someone from the crowd yelled out loudly and sprinted towards the Minister, making the entire crowd of spectators freeze.

"Protect the Minister!" One of the Royal Guards shouted and at the same time, multiple guards dashed towards the suspicious person, and tackled him to the ground before he could do anything.

"Let me go! Let me go!" The person who got captured was struggling to break free, but was unable to do so. The guards dragged him out from the venue, and the crowd began to whisper amongst themselves.

Claude shifted his gaze, an expression of interest appearing in his eyes. Minister Frederick Hammer's face kept fluctuating, his countenance unsightly.
