Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system-Chapter 572: Ch-571: Meeting Min Li

"Yeah, who is he anyway? There is no way he would be a simple character if His Majesty gave him the slot," another one said.

"Wang Ming... why do I feel like I have heard this name before?" said someone with a frown.

Wu Junhao looked at the crowd and raised his hand calmly. He had expected this reaction; if they did not react this way, then he would be surprised.

" They have arrived, but they are late," Wu Junhao’s eyes flickered as he looked into the distance and saw Wang Ming and Wu Jing arrive. However, his eyes narrowed when he noticed something off and thought, ’Why do they seem closer than before?’

Wu Junhao noticed how his daughter was looking at Wang Ming with smitten eyes, and on the other hand, the Queen, Zhang Shiyu, had a sly smirk. He thought, ’Hmm, did they Dual Cultivate or something? No, it doesn’t seem like that—maybe they did something closer, but not exactly Dual Cultivation.’

The crowd, who were chatting among themselves in dissatisfaction, also sensed two new presences and looked at Wang Ming and Wu Jing.

Their eyes widened when they saw Wang Ming

"Hey, isn’t that the guy who pummeled everyone in the training grounds?"

"Yeah, I remember now. No wonder I felt the name Wang Ming was familiar—it’s this guy."

"What, you know him?"

"Yes, this guy not only beat all of us but also defeated the princess."

"What, he was the one?"

"If this is him, I can understand why the king would give him the second spot."

Many of them looked at Wang Ming, and the dissatisfaction vanished completely from their faces when they recognized him. This was also one of the reasons why Wu Jing wanted to fight Wang Ming in public—so when this situation arose, no one would oppose him taking the second spot.

"You two have arrived, good," Wu Junhao said with a smile as Wang Ming and Wu Jing walked toward him and stopped in front of him.

"Here, take these two tokens and go to the city square. The selection round is taking place there," Wu Junhao instructed. Both of them did not say much, thanked him, and left under everyone’s envious gaze.

"Well, the place looks very lively," Wang Ming said to Wu Jing as they arrived at the city square. Apart from the place where there was a shimmering portal—which was empty because of the heavily armed army surrounding it in two or three layers, not only from the Wu Family but also from different factions, which he assumed were from other families—all the other spots were crowded with people looking at the center with curious gazes.

"Token." The guards’ eyes flickered when they saw Wu Jing, but they maintained a professional stance and asked them to hand over their tokens for entry.

"Here, we both are representing the Wu Family." The guards’ eyes paused on Wang Ming for a moment as they nodded and let them pass after verifying the tokens.

After that, they walked through the portal and appeared in a different terrain. There were many people representing different factions and families, and even people from outside the kingdom who had friendly relations with them had arrived.

As soon as they exited the portal, he felt multiple eyes on them, and some began whispering

"That’s Princess Wu Jing, not a surprise that she is representing the Wu Family. Every member of the Wu Family has entered the Sword Tomb, and I guess it’s her time."

"Who is the other guy? I have never seen him before."

"Well, he can’t be ordinary if the king chose him."

Wang Ming paused and looked at a certain distance where tents were erected, and he could feel multiple powerful presences and their gazes on him, especially from the largest tent.

"Those must be clan leaders, if I am not wrong," Wang Ming mumbled as he could feel their cultivation to be at the Golden Core Realm.

Main Tent

"Hah, looks like he noticed us," the clan head of the Xu Family said.

"Hmph, if he could not even notice us, I would have doubted Wu Junhao’s word that he actually saved the city," the clan head of the Mui Family said with a snort.

"No wonder he could save the city, his cultivation is still greater than some of you," the clan leader of the Tang Family said with a teasing smile, which caused many of their faces to grimace.

’So, that’s the guy my daughter picked,’ the clan head of the Min Family said with a glint in his eyes.

"Hey, Wang Ming, there you are!" Wang Ming’s eyes widened when he saw Min Li waving her hand and hugging him, which caused Wu Jing’s eyes to twitch.

"Why are you here?" Wang Ming asked curiously.

"Hmm, my father called me to come here to participate in the Sword Tomb," Min Li said with a smile, then looked at Wu Jing and said with a teasing smile, "Looks like we bagged a princess as well."

"As well?" Wu Jing’s face flushed a bit, then she asked.

"I am also his Dao partner," Min Li said.

"Of course, that lecherous guy would pick every beautiful woman he finds," Wu Jing said with a sigh.

"Hey, hey, don’t make it sound like I am a scumbag," Wang Ming retorted. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"But you are one." Wu Jing and Min Li nodded their heads several times in agreement.

"By the way, where is Feng Mei? Did she leave?" Wang Ming asked curiously.

"Yes, she left for the sect. She told me to inform you," Wu Jing said, to which Wang Ming nodded.

"From the Min Family, is it only you?" Wang Ming asked.

"Yep, there was no one else suitable, and the ones who are in closed cultivation—bad luck, they missed their chance," Min Li said with a shrug.

"Let’s go and join the queue," Wang Ming said as he pointed at the long line.
