Chapter 497: Chapter 497 Hai Wuyan Chapter 497: Chapter 497 Hai Wuyan The Wen, Ceng, Liu, and Zhao families’ competition would take place in three days.
During these three days, Wen Xiuxiu visited Shi Hao every day.
There wasn’t anything important; it was just casual conversation.
There was no helping it. Shi Hao was just too good-looking, and his martial arts talent was too astonishing. Even geniuses on the official rankings were easily defeated by him. His true strength was estimated to be able to reach the top fifty of the official rankings!
What did this an?
Around the entire Western Rock Continent, there might only be fifty martial artists in the Self-Observation realm who were stronger than Shi Hao, or perhaps, even fewer.
Who wouldn’t want to recruit such talent?
The key point was that, from the task Shi Hao had entrusted her with, he appeared to be an orphan, which made him even easier to recruit, to be directly taken in as a son-in-law.
Therefore, Wen Xiuxiu was very proactive.
Before they knew it, the three days had passed, and it was ti for the four great families’ competition.
Shi Hao set off with everyone else, heading to the Ceng Family.
The location of each competition rotated among the four great families. The last ti it was held at the Liu Family; this ti at the Ceng Family; next ti, it would be at the Wen Family, but that wouldn’t be for another ten years.
There was no idle chatter; the competition started imdiately.
Each realm’s competition adopted a challenge stage system: the winner could continue to fight consecutively, until they were defeated, or until they had killed off their opponents so that no one could fight.
Since there were only four families, they started with a draw, competing in pairs. Those who won would at least secure second place, then compete for the first and third places.
Therefore, the draw was crucial. Perhaps the second strongest might et soone even stronger and be defeated in the first round, having to fight for third place, or, if they lost too badly in the first round and had too many injuries, they might even lose the second round and fall to fourth place.
As a result, during the draw, each family prayed to the gods and bowed to the Buddha. Even the family that believed itself to be the strongest did not dare to be careless, for if they had a disastrous victory in the first round, they might tumble in the second.
After the draw, the competition for the Soul Nurturing realm began.
This would determine the ratio of dicinal material procurent rights.
After four rounds of competition, the Ceng Family ca in first, the Liu Family second, and the Wen Family ended up at the bottom.
Starting off on a bad foot naturally made the Wen Family’s team leader very dissatisfied, with a gloomy look on his face.
Next, of course, ca another draw, followed by the start of the Other Shore realm’s battle, which decided the sales ratio of Formation materials and Talismanic Soldier materials.
This ti, the Ceng Family was second, but the Wen Family was still at the bottom.
Two consecutive crushing defeats set the Wen Family team leader’s temper afla, as if it would beco substantial.
Then, the third draw began.
This round of competition would decide the profit distribution ratio for the auction house, which was even more important.
——Naturally, the higher the realm of the battle, the more crucial it beca.
Shi Hao directly took the vanguard position, going up first.
His opponents were three mbers of the Liu Family.
Like the Wen Family, the Liu Family had also experienced a decline followed by a revival. But now, they were in a period of renaissance, with abundant family talents, so they had three mbers spearheading their lineup, and there was no need for outside help.
“You——”
Bang!
The first opponent had barely started speaking, perhaps attempting to mock or belittle Shi Hao, but was directly blasted off the stage by Shi Hao.
One victory.
“Good!” Seeing this, the Wen Family leader couldn’t help but clap, finally showing a pleased expression.
Beautiful!
The second Liu Family mber entered the stage but was still sent flying by Shi Hao’s punch, without any suspense.
“Haha!” the Wen Family team leader laughed heartily, confident that with Shi Hao’s strength, not only second place was secured, but first place seed within reach too.
The third battle held no suspense either; Shi Hao still vanquished his opponent with a single punch, securing his eligibility for the winners’ battle.
The Wen Family team leader was very happy, then turned his attention to another battle. As long as the other two families didn’t showcase any outstanding talents, the Wen Family’s first place would be assured.
The Zhao Family and the Ceng Family’s battle imdiately followed. From the start, the Ceng Family showed dominant strength; their vanguard was strong enough to take on two opponents, forcing the Zhao Family to send out their champion.
This caused all the families, except for the Zhao Family, to shake their heads. It seed the outco was set; with three fighters still at the ready, the Ceng Family could simply grind the Zhao Family’s champion to defeat.
At that mont, the Zhao Family’s champion entered the arena, a young man dressed in blue, fairly good-looking, but with black circles under his eyes as if soone had punched him hard or as if he had indulged in excesses.
Indeed, it must be the latter, for his gaze kept roaming over the faces and chests of females, particularly when he saw Wen Xiuxiu, his eyes bulged forward, and he couldn’t help licking his lips.
Feeling a sense of disgust as if the gaze had tentacles, Wen Xiuxiu involuntarily stepped back several paces – even hiding behind a senior family mber, blocking the perverted gaze and feeling a lot better.
Everyone else shook their heads at this sight, wondering how such a man was the Zhao Family’s last stand. It seed the Zhao Family had no desire to win.
The battle began.
The Ceng Family’s vanguard imdiately rushed out, throwing a punch at the blue-shirted youth.
With a casual flick of the wrist, thump, the vanguard was sent flying, tumbling off the platform.
Victory!
The crowd was shocked, that was too easy.
Hiss, this lecherous, clearly over-indulgent fellow actually possessed such formidable strength!
They had underestimated him!
They had judged a book by its cover!
Following this, the blue-shirted youth carried on his show, effortlessly defeating the remaining two from the Ceng Family, securing a streak of three consecutive victories.
After a brief rest, it was ti for the Zhao and Wen Families to vie for first place in this round of the competition.
Originally full of confidence, the Wen Family team leader grew apprehensive after witnessing the blue-shirted youth’s performance, no longer feeling so certain.
In the first bout, Shi Hao entered the fray for the Wen Family, while the Zhao Family also sent their blue-shirted champion.
Clearly, whichever family won this match would almost certainly secure first place.
“Your performance earlier wasn’t bad. I happen to need a follower; how about it, interested?” The blue-shirted youth asked with a smile.
Shi Hao shook his head, “I’m not accustod to following anyone else’s orders.”
“Then, let’s settle it with martial arts,” the blue-shirted youth proposed. “If I win, you’ll follow . How about that?”
“And if I win, will you beco my junior?” Shi Hao asked with a smile.
“Impossible!” The blue-shirted youth resolutely shook his head. “How could I, Hai Wuyan, possibly lose?”
Shi Hao hissed, “Are you serious with that na?”
The blue-shirted youth huffed proudly, “What do you think? It’s quite special, isn’t it? I chose it myself, the original one was too la.”
Shi Hao sighed, “Forgive for laughing a bit first!”
Hai Wuyan was furious, “Are you saying my na sounds bad?”
Boom, he leaped up aggressively, then charged towards Shi Hao.
Thud!
Shi Hao took the blow head-on and was driven back involuntarily, retreating to the edge of the platform where he barely managed to stop himself, just inches from falling off.
Such a formidable force.
Shi Hao was astonished. Although he was only at the Second Phase, both his strength and spirit were strong enough to sweep away ordinary fighters at the Ninth Phase.
This Hai Wuyan was indeed no simple character.
