Chapter 63 - 63 Martial Arts Tournament 4

The martial arts tournament was finally about to begin officially.

After three days of selection, a total of thirty people had stood out from the rest, and they would now have the qualification to challenge the experts on the list of prodigious fighters.

By the time the day arrived, the arena at the base of the mountain was already packed with people early on.

Moreover, the arena had been renovated, becoming sturdier and more secure.

After all, the ones climbing onto the stage this time would not only be contending for victory but also deciding life and death.

“Isn’t that Chen Tong, the Muay Thai King ranked nineteenth on the list of prodigious fighters? He’s here too?”

“Good heavens, Huangfu Tian who wields the Heaven-overturning Staff and is ranked eighth on the list is here as well? A high-level expert of his caliber usually never shows up at such events in previous years!”

“And there’s Xiang Bing, the Moonlight Fairy, and others like Blood Scorpion Leng Yun, and One-smile Sword Kong San, who are all ranked very high on the list. What’s going on with this year’s martial arts tournament?”

With bursts of exclamations from the crowd below, this year’s martial arts tournament slowly raised the curtain.

When Xue An arrived at the stands, nearly everyone was already there.

Many corpulent men sat in the chairs of the stands, often with a beautiful female secretary accompanying them.

These were the rich and powerful from all over.

After all, every expert who could make it onto the list of prodigious fighters had a profound background and force behind them, so this martial arts tournament was not just a gathering of martial artists but also tied to tremendous interests.

Xue An’s arrival also attracted many people’s attention.

However, after most observed that Xue An was dressed plainly and didn’t seem like a martial arts expert, they lost interest in him.

Xue An scanned the entire venue and happened to see Shi Hao sitting at the back, but at that moment, he was attentively courting a woman in a green dress with an elegant demeanor beside him.

“Fairy Xiang, I had the honor of visiting you once with my master. I didn’t expect to see you again at the martial arts tournament today! ”

The woman was none other than the one known as the Moonlight Fairy, Xiang Bing, ranked eighteenth on the list of prodigious fighters.

Xiang Bing remained indifferent, not paying much attention to Shi Hao.

In previous martial arts tournaments, she would not have bothered to come.

Only this time, the reemergence of the legendary fighter had piqued her interest, so she came to join in the excitement.

Xue An’s arrival didn’t go unnoticed by her, but after a quick glance that revealed he was not a martial arts expert, she turned her attention away from him and instead looked towards Xue Lan, who was beside Xue An.

“Oh! This girl has a pure aura, she could be a good candidate for martial arts training!” Xiang Bing’s eyes brightened.

Shi Hao noticed Xiang Bing’s gaze and turned to see it was Xue An, his expression darkening.

But when he saw Hua Tingting had also arrived, Shi Hao’s smile returned, and he stood up to say, “Miss Hua, this way!”

Hua Tingting didn’t intend to pay any attention to Shi Hao, but Xue An walked straight towards him.

Hua Tingting and Tan Xiaoyu exchanged glances, and they reluctantly followed behind.

“Miss Hua, please have a seat!” Shi Hao beckoned warmly, then introduced her.

“This is Moonlight Fairy Xiang Bing!”

Upon hearing the name, Tan Dong and others couldn’t help but change their expressions dramatically.

A high-ranked expert of the eighteenth on the list of prodigious fighters turned out to be a woman of such elegant demeanor?

Seeing the shocked expressions around him, Shi Hao felt quite smug and then said to Xiang Bing with a flattering smile, “Fairy Xiang, this is Miss Hua Tingting. Her grandfather is the renowned Divine Doctor of Beijiang, and this is the head of the Beijiang Martial Arts School…”

Xiang Bing waved her hand to stop Shi Hao from continuing, and then she looked at Xue Lan and calmly said, “Young girl, would you be interested in learning martial arts with me?”

That question stunned everyone around.

The Moonlight Fairy was offering apprenticeship?

Shi Zhuli beside them felt a surge of jealousy, her eyes almost turning blue.

Why her?

Why was it her?

She was just a girl from the mountains. How was she better than me?

Tan Dong and Tan Xiaoyu were also shocked.

Especially Tan Dong, who was well aware of the formidable prowess of the Moonlight Fairy, couldn’t help but feel bewildered.

But amid everyone’s gaze, a somewhat shy Xue Lan unexpectedly shook her head firmly.

“Not interested!”

This statement took Xiang Bing by surprise, and he couldn’t help but say lightly, “Young girl, do you know who I am?”

Xue Lan continued to shake her head, “I don’t know, and I don’t want to know. Even if I were to practice martial arts, I would only follow Xiao An!” Xiao An?

The crowd was taken aback and then turned their gaze toward Xue An.

Could it be he’s the one they are speaking of?

But there was nothing remarkable about this man at all, he just seemed like an ordinary person!

Xiang Bing’s expression darkened a bit, and he couldn’t help but snort coldly.

“Young girl, you better think this through.”

“I’ve thought it through!” Xue Lan said firmly.

Shi Hao and Shi Zhuli exchanged secretive glances, then felt a surge of joy in their hearts.

That’s great, by incurring the ire of the Fairy of the Moonlight, both Xue An and the girl are doomed!

Xiang Bing took another deep look at Xue An, and finding that aside from being very steady, there was indeed nothing exceptional about the man, he turned his face as frosty as ice toward the arena.

Xue An smiled indifferently, paying no mind to this so-called Fairy of the Moonlight.

A mere woman who had just stepped into the Xiaoyao Realm, yet dared to call herself a Fairy, was truly laughable.

However, Tan Dong was a bit worried, and after sitting down, he whispered in Xue An’s ear, “This Fairy of the Moonlight is notoriously petty, and it’s clear that she bears a grudge over what just happened. Mr. Xue, you should be very careful.’

Xue An nodded his head.

At that moment, the martial arts tournament finally officially began.

Shi Hao straightened his clothes, full of confidence, stepped into the ring.

His ranking was mediocre, so he was among the first to compete.

And the one he challenged was a Southern Fist expert ranked eighty-eighth on the list of talented fighters.

After the start of their match, Xue An only watched for a moment before looking away.

Because he could tell at a glance that while the Southern Fist expert was skilled, he clearly was no match for Shi Hao.

As expected.

It wasn’t long before the Southern Fist expert was kicked off the ring by Shi

Hao. After a struggle on the ground, he lay dead.

A murmur arose from the crowd.

Shi Hao stood on the platform looking smug, then the results of the match were announced by the referee.

Shi Hao was victorious, and he finally achieved his wish of entering the list of talented fighters.

Shi Zhuli was naturally ecstatic, and then she glared fiercely at Xue An’s side, thinking to herself, just wait until the end of the tournament, and I’ll deal with you!

Shi Hao even stood on the platform, making a throat-slitting gesture at Xue An from a distance.

But the panic and disarray he expected did not ensue. The only thing present was the mockery in Xue An’s eyes.

Shi Hao sneered in his heart, I’ll see how long you can keep up this act.

The competition continued. With huge interests and honors at stake, no one dared to hold back, often using lethal moves.

The brutal matches turned the faces of many spectators pale.

Finally, the new selection of martial artists had completed their challenges.

Two-thirds of them failed, and the price of failure was death!

Blood stained the arena red.

But everyone knew that the main event was about to come, as the next to enter the ring were the top fifty experts of the list of talented fighters.

The first person to step onto the stage caused a low murmur of surprise from the crowd below..
