Since you want me to keep...Xia and Wei were both located in the south, geographically close and with comparable national strength. Conflicts were inevitable.

After the Xia Kingdom lost the Battle of Qi-Xia, it suddenly found itself facing enemies on all sides. Rebellions erupted everywhere, with some regions declaring independence and others launching aggressive attacks...

It almost brought the nation to ruin, thus causing its downfall.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. When a tree falls, all the monkeys scatter.

Among those countries that took advantage of the chaos, there was Wei.

Of course, there's no blame to be laid. During the height of Xia's power, they weren't shy about suppressing Wei either.

Although in recent years, both sides have been actively mending relations, opening up trade, communicating with each other, and complementing each other's strengths in military preparedness and exchanging Taoist insights... to cope with the growing pressure from the hegemonic nation.

But on the martial arts platform at the Yellow River meeting, they met each other. No one would show mercy.

Just...

What's going on

What happened

Could it be that there is still more to his strength To be able to kill an opponent under the watchful eye of True Monarch Yu Xi, what a feat!

Jiang looked at Cao Jie with inquiring eyes.

Cao Jie's transmission came back: "Dong Guo Bao died from his own burning life technique. He is now like this because he was poisoned."

Then it makes sense.

Dong Guo Bao burned his life to strive for victory, and Yu Xi couldn't possibly intervene to protect him. That would amount to forcibly influencing the other party's choice, which goes against the principle of fairness at the Yellow River Gathering.

Even though burning him to death couldn't beat... It seems that Touching Sorrow still has quite a bit of skill. And this poison that corrodes people into a pool of blood is truly terrifying.

Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment.

He didn't have a very strong impression of Dong Guo Pao.

In the Inner Palace selection competition he watched, notable figures were Yin Wenhua and Xie Ai.

As for Dongguo Pao, only a preliminary impression of bravery and roughness remains.

When vying for the three spots in the loser's bracket, he managed to secure his place in the main tournament by sheer willpower, barely hanging on.

They still gave it their all in the actual game, pouring everything they had into the first round.

Anyone can say pretty words.

People who constantly say "I have no fear of life or death for my country" are everywhere.

But those who truly put it into practice are few.

To judge a nation by its people, starting from Yan Shaofei and going to Dong Guo Bao.

The state of Wei should not be underestimated.

Yu Xi almost simultaneously announced the results of the two martial arts platforms.

Wei Guo's great general Wu Qin stepped onto the martial stage at this moment.

He didn't glance at the victor with pity, victory or defeat, life or death were all matters on the field. This is what the meeting of the Yellow River is like.

He knelt, only half way down, as a great general.

With both hands outstretched, they gathered the scattered blood from the ground and formed it into a ball.

“You are a warrior of the Wei state, and I, Wu Xun, am proud of you.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He spoke softly, holding the bloody mass to his chest and rising to his feet. "Now, I will take you home."

He walked off the stage and out.

In the procession of Wei's court, a Wei man said in unison: “Let us return!”

One by one, the men of Wei rose and left their seats, following Wu Qin behind.

The back of this famous general of the world was somehow indescribably heavy.

It’s really time to “go home.”

The State of Wei did not get a spot in the unlimited age group for those under thirty.

Now both the outer court and inner court matches are over.

This year's Gathering of the Heavenly Chosen has ended for Wei.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

It's not that the results are bad, after all, there is a third place in the world with an external building. The harvest is not bad.

But Dong Guoba was gone.

This military prodigy, forged in the fires of war, met his end at the Guanhetai, all for the glory of Wei.

These are the soldiers under his command, his comrades-in-arms.

Wu Qin's mood was inevitably heavy.

But the competition among the proud geniuses of various nations is like this. After endless glory, there are even more cruelty and pain.

Every heaven-defying genius who moves forward has many who fall behind.

The beginning of a story is the end of many stories.

Life and death are just like this.

The matchups for the first round of the main event at the Huanghe Zhuiyi Inner Palace Competition are as follows:

Qi Guo Jiang Wang faced off against Zhuang Guo Lin Zheng Ren.

The Mu Guo Deng Qi faced off against the Song Guo Yin Wen Hua.

>

The Jing Guo Huang Sheli faced off against the Liao Guo Yelu Zhi.

>

Qin Guo Qin Zhizhen faced off against Dan Guo Xiao Shu.

In the battle of Chu, Xiangbei faced off against Bai Yu Xia from Yue.

When Dongguo Bao of the State of Wei faced off against Chu Min of the State of Xia.

In the snowy land of X, Xue Guo offered condolences and faced off against Huang Su from Liang.

Yong Guo's Bei Gong Ke faced off against Shen Guo's Jiang Shao Hua.

After a round of matches, the eight finalists were decided.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The winners are Jiang Wang, Deng Qi, Huang Sheli, Qin Zhizhen, Xiang Bei, Chu Min, Xie Ai, and Beigong Ke.

The victory of the Overlord Nation's Heavenly Pride was expected, just like how Dan Nation's Xiao Shu, Liao Nation's Yelü Zhi, and Song Nation's Yin Wenhua were beaten badly. Especially Yue Nation's Bai Yu Xia, who was punched through by Xiang Bei, leaving a gaping hole in her. Yu Xi arrived in time to save him, barely sparing his life.

From this perspective, Master Zhuang Guo Lin's loss is just a blood ghost, seemingly the best outcome...

Of course, the actual profit and loss definitely can't be calculated like this.

It's surprising that the Compassionate One, who was initially underestimated because they disregarded their reputation, managed to defeat the Heavenly Prodigy of Wei State, leaving many people astonished.

Of course, this is also a kind of luck. He should have solved the Tianjiao from Qi State in the first round, but instead, he chose the Tianjiao from Zhuang State as his opponent.

In contrast, Zhuang Guo previously gained prominence because of Lin Zhengren, but now it has fallen from grace also because of him.

Yet Yong Guo's Bei Gong Ke made it into the top eight...

This contrast between such sworn enemies is also quite thought-provoking.

During its zenith, the Yong nation was able to hold its own against the Jing nation, rivaling even the current Northwest Five Nations alliance.

But after Han Yin's ascension, there was no progress. For hundreds of years, it continued to decline and even lost the war against Zhuang State.

As the eldest grandson of Duke Beigong Yu of Yong, a prominent figure in the British royal family, Beigong Ke is burdened with immense responsibility. And it seems he's fully shouldered it.

One spot in the top eight of the Yellow River Games, Yong Guo hasn't seen this in a few hundred years.

But the resources represented by this quota are even more important to Yongguo under Han Xu's rule today.

Han Xu personally initiated a top-down revolution, aiming to thoroughly reform Yong Nation and restore, even surpass, the glory of Emperor Yongming's era. This requires concerted efforts from all aspects.

Mere support from the Mo clan is insufficient, because a nation's strength is not simply the accumulation of strong individuals or resources. Firstly, it is crucial to rebuild the confidence of the people of Yong Guo.

The entire nation, both military and civilian, firmly believes that a brand new Yongguo is on the horizon.

In this regard, Beigong Ke's achievements at the Yellow River Meeting are of extraordinary significance.

Of course, after the top 8, even a hegemonic nation cannot decide its opponents.

> To punish, oppress, or avoid someone can only depend on luck.

Eight martial arts platforms have been merged into four.

Yu Xi reopened the light curtain, and the names of the eight finalists in the Inner Palace arena shone like stars.

Jiang Wang stared intently at the light curtain, not nervous, only expectant.

He longed to fight Deng Qi, the man from Mu Guo, and tear away his mask, proving that his own sliver of hope wasn't just an illusion.

He was looking forward to fighting Qin Zhizhen, hoping to get an answer from him about moving forward.

He looked forward to fighting Xiangbei and avenging Zuo Guangshu.

He looked forward to Huang Sheli's killing power, wanting to see what arrogant capital she possessed.

If he could encounter a compassionate touch, he would also want to shoulder the responsibility of a national prodigy and suppress Xia Guo, attempting to eradicate Xia Guo's prodigies.

Even if we set all of this aside...

He and his sword also longed for a powerful opponent.

Every one of the eight finalists who have reached the Huang He River, deserves him to draw his sword.

>

Now his sword is in his hand.

His people were downstairs.

He was waiting for an opponent, whoever it may be.

And finally, the player lists on the light curtain were fixed —

The pride of Qi, Jiang Wang, faces off against...the pride of Chu, Xiang Bei!. It's good to have someone to look out for you in the same line of work." Yan Fu pretended to be very objective, as if he was definitely not here to watch the show.Jiang Wang: ...Actually, Jiang Wang...
