"Are you telling the truth?"
In the study, Huang Mangguo looked skeptical. He naturally didn't believe Qin Hui could kill Sun Tiance and Elder Sun. How strong would that be?
"It's all true, Qin Hui told me so himself."
Huang Qing nodded. Although Qin Hui's plan was extremely audacious, she had already boarded the same ship as Qin Hui.
Huang Qing had thought she was on the second level, but she never expected Qin Hui to be on the fifth.
"This makes things a bit interesting. Alright, I understand."
Huang Mangguo waved his hand, dismissing Huang Qing from his study. He then fell into deep thought.
"Master, what Qin Hui said is not to be trusted. Although he has some strength, it's impossible for him to defeat Sun Tiance, let alone kill Elder Sun."
The butler beside him quickly interjected. In his opinion, Qin Hui was boasting to the heavens. If they believed him, they would surely offend the Sun family in the future.
No matter what, this was a losing deal.
Huang Mangguo nodded upon hearing this. He also didn't believe Qin Hui. If Qin Hui could kill Elder Sun, then he would undoubtedly win the martial arts competition.
He truly didn't believe in Qin Hui's strength.
It was good for young people to be confident, but overconfidence led to arrogance.
Huang Mangguo would not indulge in Qin Hui's arrogance because it was unreasonable.
...
The next afternoon, everyone headed towards the martial arts competition venue.
Everyone was determined to shine in this martial arts competition.
In the center of the venue, five important seats were specially reserved for distinguished guests.
Half an hour later, all distinguished guests and participants had entered the venue.
Sitting in the front row was the Sun family. Since entering the venue, they had displayed an arrogant attitude.
After all, they were from Yanjing, and it was normal for them to look down on these bumpkins.
As for the Patrol Dragon Division and the Huang family, they were seated calmly, without any ostentatious display.
Although the three families appeared calm on the surface, they were all strategizing to win the championship.
Sun Tiance's reputation was indeed impressive, but if he were to be defeated, one's own fame would be paramount, undoubtedly a glorious feat.
Compared to the tense atmosphere of these families, Qin Hui appeared much more relaxed.
At this moment, Qin Hui was sitting in a restaurant, enjoying a hot bowl of spicy and hot soup. Huang Qing beside him was extremely speechless. How could Qin Hui still be in the mood to eat spicy and hot soup at a time like this?
However, smelling the aroma, Huang Qing couldn't help but join Qin Hui.
"Qin Hui, aren't you worried at all?"
"I heard that Sun Tiance's first target is you."
Huang Qing asked while eating the spicy and hot soup.
"Don't worry, I'm too important. He'll definitely save me for last. Let's eat slowly."
Qin Hui picked up a meatball and put it into his mouth, mumbling.
Huang Qing was also speechless. If it were anyone else, they would have been panicking already.
Meanwhile, the martial arts competition was proceeding with great excitement.
"Young Master, Qin Hui is on his way. Would you like to warm up?"
Elder Sun suggested.
Since they intended to take control of Jiangnan Province, the Sun family's control over Qin Hui was naturally very strict.
Every move Qin Hui made after arriving in Yang Province was within the Sun family's surveillance.
If Qin Hui didn't come, they wouldn't be able to make an example of him.
"Alright, who should I fight next?"
Sun Tiance twisted his neck, his expression calm.
The rules of the martial arts competition were simple: you could challenge anyone by stating their name.
Although the opponent could refuse, refusing in front of so many people would undoubtedly be a loss of face, and others would naturally not listen to you in terms of power distribution in the future.
"The most outstanding among the Huang family this time is Gu Rulong, but that fellow is just a pretty boy and no match for you, Young Master."
"The other families have been wiped out by Zhao Yu of the Patrol Dragon Division. This kid is on a roll, why don't we make him our target?"
Elder Sun calmly inquired.
His idea was simple: since Zhao Yu was the most talked-about, they should defeat Zhao Yu, and then his young master's fame would soar.
If they fought them one by one, how long would it take?
"Alright, you decide."
He had watched Zhao Yu's previous fight. Although strong, he was still far inferior to himself.
Defeating Zhao Yu would only take three moves!
Zhao Yu, having just defeated his opponent, was beaming with excitement. He had truly made a name for himself in this martial arts competition.
Even Gu Rulong, who had challenged him earlier, had been defeated by him, which was a great honor for him.
"The next match: Sun Tiance versus Zhao Yu."
The host announced with a microphone.
As soon as the words fell, the crowd erupted in cheers. They also wanted to see how strong Sun Tiance truly was.
If Sun Tiance defeated Zhao Yu, it would mean that the current generation of outstanding disciples of the Patrol Dragon Division was nothing special, and their future would only lead to decline.
Of course, if Zhao Yu defeated Sun Tiance, the Sun family's status in Yanjing would decline significantly.
The current family competition was not based on the strength of the elders, but on the strength of the younger generation, for they were the hope of the family.
Therefore, no matter who won or lost this match, it would signify the downfall of one side's influence.
Zhao Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, his nerves tense.
He had naturally heard of Sun Tiance's reputation, but who didn't have a fire in their heart?
If he could defeat Sun Tiance, the defending champion, his prestige would spread throughout the nation. Zhao Yu naturally did not want to miss such an opportunity for fame.
In Zhao Yu's opinion, Sun Tiance was just more famous, but his strength was probably similar to Gu Rulong's, as they both hailed from Yanjing.
Since he could defeat Gu Rulong, defeating Sun Tiance should not be a problem. Even if he lost, Zhao Yu was confident that he wouldn't lose too badly.
"Your performance just now was very good, but you have no chance against me. If you surrender now, you can avoid suffering some physical pain."
Sun Tiance said calmly, not taking Zhao Yu seriously at all.
Perhaps he was a very outstanding existence in the Patrol Dragon Division, but when placed among a group of geniuses, he would appear ordinary.
"Surrender?"
"Hahaha, on what grounds do you look down on others? Who wins and who loses is yet to be determined!"
Zhao Yu thumped his chest, looking disdainful.
If he surrendered without fighting, he would lose face completely.
The members of the Patrol Dragon Division below the stage also had ashen faces. Sun Tiance's actions were undoubtedly looking down on them.
If they were truly defeated by Sun Tiance, they would surely be reprimanded upon their return.
