Someone stood out and shouted, âMay I ask, if we challenge Great Xia, will we be competing with the Forging Masters in Great Xiaâs diplomatic mission, or will we be competing with all of Great Xiaâs Forging Masters?â âOf course, you will be competing with the Forging Masters in Great Xiaâs diplomatic mission. If you have to compete against all of Great Xiaâs Forging Masters, then thereâs no need to send the diplomatic missions here,â Xu Shi said calmly.
If they were comparing the overall capability of the various nations, there was no need to compare. It was obvious who was stronger.
This was like the Olympics. A powerful country didnât mean that they would win on the spot.
Just because the country was powerful didnât mean that the diplomatic mission would definitely win. âThen, do you mean that we can compete with our previous works or choose a new one?â the man continued to ask.

âEither or,â Xu Shi said.
âOkay! Great Han would like to give up.â This personâs words made Xu Shi almost choke on his saliva.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
You asked so many questions just to give up?
Since you want to give up, why did you ask so many questions?
Even though Xu Shi was a shrewd person, he was speechless.
After the diplomatic mission from Great Han gave up, two other nations gave up as well.
⦠Including Great Liangâs diplomatic mission.
The diplomatic missions from the remaining five nations hesitated.
They didnât have the confidence to defeat the Great Xia diplomatic mission, but they were unwilling to give up just like that.
Just as everyone was hesitating, someone suddenly stood out.
âI object.â Shen Yue stood out from the crowd and cupped his hands toward the Qin emperor and Xu Shi. âThe national strength of Great Xia is inferior to Great Wei. I donât think they are qualified to host the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament.â
âOthers can say that. But didnât Great Wei just lose to Great Xia?â Xu Shi said. His tone was very calm, as if he was only stating a fact, not trying to sow discord.
Shen Yue snorted. âThere was a reason for that. It has nothing to do with this matter.
âSince Great Qin has set the rules, then weâll follow them. Zhou Shu, I want to compete with you again!â Shen Yue stared at Zhou Shu coldly.
Zhou Shu glanced at him. âYouâre just a loser. Iâm not interested in competing with you.â
âYouâ¦â Shen Yue was furious. His face was red, and he was heaving.
âLord Xu! Can they refuse?â
Xu Shi glanced at Zhou Shu and said meaningfully, âMarquis Zhou, if the diplomatic mission of Great Xia refuses to accept the challenge, you will automatically lose the qualification to be a candidate. The challenger will become the candidate for the host of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament.â
âDid you hear that?!â Shen Yue shouted. âZhou Shu, if you donât dare, then scram back to Great Xia!â
âShen Yue, if you want to compete, Iâll compete with you!â Shi Songtao said angrily.
This Shen Yue, doesnât he have any self-awareness?
Who is he to compete with the marquis?
Even I, Shi Songtao, might not be able to compete with the marquis! âCan you represent Great Xiaâs diplomatic mission? If you lose, will Great Xiaâs diplomatic mission admit defeat?â Shen Yue said disdainfully.
âOf course he can represent the diplomatic mission of Great Xia.â
Before Shi Songtao could say anything, he heard Zhou Shuâs voice.
âItâs too troublesome to deal with one or two of them at a time. Since Great Qin has said the rules, then letâs be straightforward. If any of you arenât convinced, then come at me together.â Zhou Shuâs gaze swept across the entire hall, focusing on the few diplomatic missions that hadnât given up. Shen Yue was stunned for a moment before he flew into a rage. âZhou Shu, youâre just a Forging Master. What right do you have to be so arrogant? You havenât even forged a black-grade weapon before. Youâ¦â Zhou Shuâs expression was calm as he said, âSo, this is arrogance?
âIf you have the ability, you can win against me. By talking so much, you are only revealing your lack of confidence.â
The Qin emperor watched Zhou Shu and Shen Yue bicker with great interest, and a hint of appreciation flashed across his eyes. His personality is like someone from my Great Qin.
Shen Yueâs expression was gloomy as he stared fixedly at Zhou Shu and said coldly, âZhou Shu, do you think your forging skills are invincible? You arenât even a High-level Forging Master!
âToday, I will let you see my ability!â
Shen Yue was overflowing with murderous intent.
âWe, Great Qi, will not participate.â Before Shen Yue finished speaking, another nation gave up. The person who spoke took a few steps to the side and distanced himself from Great Weiâs diplomatic mission.
A group attack⦠Even if they won, it would be embarrassing. If they lost, it would be even more embarrassing. Great Qiâs diplomatic mission directly drew a clear line with Great Weiâs diplomatic mission. After the diplomatic mission from Great Qi withdrew, only Great Wei, Great Jin, Great Chu, and Great Chen remained.
No more nations seem to be giving up.
âZhou Shu, are you confident?â Yin Wuyou whispered in Zhou Shuâs ear.
Originally, seeing that Great Xia was about to obtain the right to host the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, Yin Wuyou was overjoyed. She didnât expect that this diplomatic mission would go so smoothly.
Itâs mainly because our Zhou Shu is awesome!
In the end, there were still so many nations objecting, and Zhou Shu had to simultaneously deal with the challenges of several other nationsâ diplomatic missions. She couldnât help worrying
âYou donât trust me?â Zhou Shu said with a smile, his eyes glowing.
Yin Wuyou blushed slightly. âThatâs not itâ¦â
She felt that Zhou Shu was very different from when he was in Changâan. Now, he seemed to be even more arrogant and confident.
How should she put it? He looked very manly!
âHow do you want to compete? I will accompany you to the end.â Zhou Shu glanced at Shen Yue and the others.
âHmph!â Shen Yue snorted coldly. âWeâll each forge a weapon on the spot. The stronger weapon wins!â
