Xia Wei wandered in the forest when he heard a loud rustling sound. His heart was pounding with fear.
From out of nowhere, a tiger pounced out of the trees and pinned the warrior to the ground. Xia screamed: “help!”
But he couldn't be heard. Suddenly, he felt a surge of energy and he knocked the tiger back. It flew across the trees
and landed on the floor, dead. The warrior now learned his full potential. Xia knew that the ceremony in which
Bao is to become mayor will take place in two days time, and he wanted to kill the emperor.
Chapter 3
On the day, the warrior arrived at the palace, just in the nick of time for the ceremony. As Bao Tong
stepped on the stage, the doors flew open as they were paper, the last warrior stood at the doors. “Oh, you again”
bellowed Bao, “let this man step on the stage to battle with me”.
Xia Wei stepped on the stage and drew out his sword, and the fight began. It was a life and death battle. The
warrior nearly got killed, but escaped. Xia accidentally drew down the curtains and no one could see the two
fighting. A moment later, someone pulled the curtains open and saw Bao lying on the floor, with a sword on his
neck. The warrior was in good condition and everyone was astonished. The people who supported Bao now
realized what a fool he was, and decided that the last warrior should be the mayor, and so it was.
