Chapter 1 Although Yu Qiaoqiao and Yi Yuqing had only just walked onto the arena to wait for the match to begin, the upper echelons of the various martial arts schools and training centers in the VIP seats were already exceptionally excited.

No one had expected that the friendly competition held today would turn out like this.

Originally, this should have been the stage for the White Tiger Martial Arts School to display its overwhelming power, but now, even making it into the top four was a question.

However, compared to the upper echelons of the various martial arts schools and training centers, the most excited was Xie Qiwen.

At this time, Xie Qiwen's face was dark. He hadn't expected Gu Chen to be so useless, actually losing to a Xing Huo he had never even heard of. This time, the White Tiger Martial Arts School had lost a lot of face, and he, as the person in charge, would definitely not be able to escape responsibility.

"Xing Teng, go and secretly contact Bei Dou immediately. If they are willing to give up the competition, I can give them Green God Corporation's invitation letter. That way, we'll all be better off. Otherwise, once Yi Yuqing wins the championship, they won't get anything." Xie Qiwen looked at Gan Xing Teng beside him and whispered his instructions.

The current situation was quite unfavorable to him. Although Yi Yuqing was very strong, she was ultimately no match for Gu Chen.

Gu Chen had lost to Xing Huo because he was afraid of risking his life. There was no guarantee that Yi Yuqing wouldn't do the same.

He didn't want to take this risk. In any case, the goal of the various martial arts schools and training centers was Green God Corporation's invitation letter. He would not only be doing them a favor but also giving them an invitation letter. For a small training center like Bei Dou that was just starting out, it was already a great opportunity.

After Gan Xing Teng understood, he left the VIP seats and quietly contacted Xiao Yu of the Bei Dou Group, telling Xiao Yu Xie Qiwen's intentions.

"Big Brother, what happened?" Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yu, whose face was full of hesitation while he was on the phone, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Now, the Bei Dou Training Center's reputation had greatly increased after this friendly competition. It wouldn't be a problem for Bei Dou to break out of Jin Hai City in the future. This was definitely a good thing worth celebrating, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

"It's about the White Tiger side. They've made some concessions and want us to give up the competition. Afterward, they'll give us Green God Corporation's invitation letter as compensation," Xiao Yu explained.

The White Tiger Martial Arts School was, after all, a top martial arts school, unlike Bei Dou. In the future, they would inevitably have dealings with the White Tiger Martial Arts School.

Although winning the championship now was good and would further enhance their reputation, it would also offend the White Tiger Martial Arts School and cause them to lose face. If the Bei Dou Training Center wanted to go to other cities, such as rushing to first- and second-tier cities, it would be difficult.

But giving the White Tiger Martial Arts School face now would definitely be a great help to the Bei Dou Training Center in breaking out of Jin Hai City in the future.

It wasn't easy to choose between these two options.

"..." Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, but quickly shifted his gaze to Shi Feng. "Big Brother, instead of us racking our brains, why don't we let Shi Feng make the choice? After all, the Bei Dou Training Center is managed by Shi Feng. How it develops in the future should naturally be decided by Shi Feng."

"That's true." Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile wryly. The development of the Bei Dou Training Center was originally not his concern. Instead of racking his brains, it would be better to leave it to Shi Feng, this kid who looked very young but whose thoughts were completely unpredictable. After all, the Bei Dou Training Center was able to get to this point thanks to Shi Feng. If he made a decision without authorization and it went against Shi Feng's original ideas, it would be difficult to cooperate in the future.

Immediately, Xiao Yu relayed Xie Qiwen's words to Shi Feng.

"Chief Instructor Shi, what are your thoughts?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but look at Shi Feng, very curious about what answer Shi Feng would give.

The White Tiger Martial Arts School's favor wasn't easy to obtain. If the Bei Dou Training Center went to develop in first- and second-tier cities, it would definitely not be able to avoid the White Tiger Martial Arts School.

Moreover, they might not necessarily be able to win the championship here. If they refused, they might miss the opportunity to obtain Green God Corporation's invitation letter.

"Chairman Xiao, just tell them that we can get Green God Corporation's invitation letter ourselves. We don't need their charity," Shi Feng said nonchalantly.

The White Tiger Martial Arts School was indeed terrifying, one of the top martial arts schools in the country. Almost all first- and second-tier cities had branches of the White Tiger Martial Arts School. If they wanted to enter first- and second-tier cities, they would inevitably have dealings with the White Tiger Martial Arts School.

He was very clear about what Xiao Yu and the others were thinking. If he wasn't a reborn person, he might really have been tempted. After all, befriending a top martial arts school would make it much easier to enter first- and second-tier cities. After all, those were places they had been operating for many years. How could they be easily set foot in?

Unfortunately, the future belonged to the era of *God's Domain*!

The Bei Dou Training Center had only been established recently. If they wanted to recruit talented players faster, enhancing their reputation was the fastest shortcut. The current friendly competition was the best stepping stone, so naturally, they couldn't let it go.

If they waited a few more months, who knew if those talented players would have already been recruited by other martial arts schools or training centers? He was currently racing against time. How could he have time to waste with the White Tiger Martial Arts School?

"This… doing this, I'm afraid…" Xiao Yu was immediately dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Shi Feng to be so decisive, without even a hint of hesitation.

This was the White Tiger Martial Arts School!

If they caused the White Tiger Martial Arts School to lose face, the Bei Dou Training Center would suffer afterward.

But Xiao Yu saw that Shi Feng was determined, and Shi Feng was fully responsible for the Bei Dou Training Center, so he naturally couldn't object. He could only sigh and reply to Gan Xing Teng with this decision.

"What? You said they refused?" Xie Qiwen thought he had misheard and couldn't help but ask again.

"They said they could get Green God Corporation's invitation letter themselves and didn't need us to do it for them…" Gan Xing Teng had also thought he had misheard before, but Xiao Yu's answer was very affirmative.

"Good, very good!" At this time, Xie Qiwen's gaze was exceptionally cold. He hadn't expected that even a small Bei Dou Training Center would dare to disrespect him so much. "Then we'll just wait and see! Now go tell Yi Yuqing that this concerns the martial arts school's honor. If necessary, have her release her restrictions. As for the money and resources for recovery, I'll pay for it all!"

"Chief Qiwen, exposing this move here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the main branch," Gan Xing Teng was overjoyed when he heard this. He hadn't expected to have the opportunity to witness the release of restrictions, but then he became worried again.

"I'll take responsibility. I want to let these third-rate martial arts schools and training centers know that no matter how hard they try, it's all in vain!" Xie Qiwen glanced at the direction where Shi Feng was and sneered.

...

On the main arena, Yi Yuqing and Yu Qiaoqiao faced each other, both observing the other. As the referee waved his hands, announcing the official start of the match, both of them rushed toward each other at the first moment, invading each other's attack range to seize territory. It could be said they were very careful.

Yi Yuqing's moves seemed soft and nimble, but in reality, they were incomparably fierce. Each punch and palm struck the air with a cracking sound, making it impossible to keep up.

No one knew that although Yi Yuqing was a woman, the force of her punches had already reached 550kg. Placed a hundred years ago, she would definitely be a boxing king-level figure. One punch could make a hole in a concrete wall, and one palm could shatter rocks. Even being lightly touched would be very dangerous for ordinary people.

Faced with the overwhelming offensive, ordinary people would have already been unable to keep up and hurriedly dodged and retreated. But Yu Qiaoqiao didn't. Instead, she took the initiative to meet it, waving her hands and transforming them into shadows of whips, constantly colliding with Yi Yuqing. In terms of momentum, she wasn't weak at all, and the sound of each block and collision constantly echoed throughout the arena.

This stunned the crowd in the audience. The two sides exchanged blows, constantly attacking and defending. In just the blink of an eye, they had exchanged several moves, so fast that people couldn't react.

For more than ten seconds in a row, neither side gained an advantage.

Clearly, it wouldn't be a simple matter for the two sides to determine a winner.

"Fighting for so long, I can't even find a single flaw in you. It's really hard to imagine that a master like you would be willing to join a small training center that was only established recently." Yi Yuqing quickly retreated, looking at Yu Qiaoqiao in surprise.

In terms of strength and speed, she was clearly above Yu Qiaoqiao. But Yu Qiaoqiao could always find her flaws, forcing her to block and dodge, giving the impression that she was fighting an old guy who had been competing for more than ten years. Even sometimes her moves were like the wild man Xing Huo.

If she hadn't seen Xing Huo's crazy methods before, she might have suffered a big loss.

Just then, Yi Yuqing's peripheral vision suddenly saw Gan Xing Teng below the arena giving her a gesture. This gesture was the White Tiger Martial Arts School's internal sign language, which all students of the main branch knew.

"This Xie Qiwen is simply crazy. This is just a friendly competition, is it necessary to go to this extent?" Yi Yuqing's expression couldn't help but change in shock after seeing the gesture Gan Xing Teng made.

But Yu Qiaoqiao didn't let go of this opportunity. She directly took a step forward, her footsteps becoming illusory, and her figure changing, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing. She went around to Yi Yuqing's side, and a fist went towards the defensive blind spot on Yi Yuqing's side abdomen.

And Yi Yuqing's reaction was ultimately half a beat too slow, and it was impossible to dodge.

Seeing that this punch was about to hit Yi Yuqing's abdomen, a black shadow suddenly flashed past, directly blocking the side abdomen.

Bang!

The crisp sound was clearly heard even by the referee who was seven or eight meters away.

"How could this be?" Yu Qiaoqiao looked at Yi Yuqing in shock.

Her attack was perfect, seizing the moment of Yi Yuqing's shock, going around to the side to attack the defensive blind spot. Yi Yuqing, who was half a beat too slow, couldn't possibly block it.

But now, blocking Yi Yuqing's side abdomen was precisely Yi Yuqing's palm.

But the most incredible thing was that her punch, full of explosiveness, was not only caught by Yi Yuqing, but her body also didn't retreat half a step. It was as if her punch had hit a wall, simply unbelievable.

"You're really amazing. If I hadn't used the restriction release, I'm afraid I would have lost with that attack just now." At this time, Yi Yuqing held Yu Qiaoqiao's fist and couldn't help but sigh, "Originally, I was going to use this move in the national competition. I didn't expect to have to use it so early, but since I've used it, this match should be over."

As she spoke, Yi Yuqing gripped Yu Qiaoqiao's hand even harder, like pliers biting Yu Qiaoqiao's fist tightly, unable to break free no matter what. And Yi Yuqing's other hand formed a fist, punching towards Yu Qiaoqiao. The moment she threw the punch, there was an explosive sound in the air. Whether it was speed or power, it was more than one level stronger than before.
