"Number seventy-six wins!"
As the icy voice of the Foundation Establishnt Referee rang out, Zhao Sheng calmly flew off the platform and walked toward the Seven Beauties.
"Hehe, interesting!"
On the White Jade High Platform, Bai i suddenly chuckled and then sent a divine thought ssage: "Daqian, give the young fellow a bit of a challenge. We don’t want him getting too arrogant and underestimating the world later on."
Chen Daqian’s expression shifted slightly, and he imdiately sent a ssage back: "The Ancestor sees through everything, Qian’er will arrange it properly."
After speaking, Chen Daqian continued leisurely chatting with the portly elder while secretly sending ssages to his confidants.
Before long, the stocky elder announcing the competition rules quietly left the high platform to secretly handle the trivial task just arranged by the Family Head.
At this mont, Zhao Sheng was completely unaware that a certain scheming old monster had already set up a "good show" for him, aiming rely to let him taste the bitterness of failure.
But would Bai i’s "sche" really succeed? Only Heaven knew at that ti.
About an hour later, night had fallen, and the number of people on the Cloud Terrace had reduced by more than half, as Zhao Sheng and the Seven Beauties left early.
The first day’s major competition thus ca to an end, with the top thirty smoothly announced.
...
The next morning, early at the Cloud Terrace, thousands of people gathered once again, seemingly more than on the first day.
However, on the White Jade High Platform, the number of Chen Family branch elders who ca to watch the competition was surprisingly reduced by nearly a third compared to the first day.
The reason for this unusual phenonon was that after watching the first day’s competition, the senior family mbers largely predicted the rankings for this tournant. Since they had an early grasp of the "result," they naturally lost interest in continuing to watch.
On the other side, Zhao Sheng arrived late with the Seven Beauties.
The group ca to the sa spot as yesterday, set up tables and chairs, fruits, and pastries, sipping and chatting while waiting for the top thirty contest to begin.
Today’s competition began with the stocky elder taking the stage to announce the start.
Soon, one thrilling and dangerous match after another made the Chen Family’s disciples in the audience engrossed and tense.
Whenever a match ca to a conclusion, the victor would be t with cheers and applause like a mountain and sea.
The triannual family tournant of the Cunning Leopard Chen Family was a rare grand event, where generations of talented prodigies erged, embarking on their respective magnificent or tumultuous life journeys.
"Next match, the Main Branch Chen Mingxi against Qi Lin Chen Family’s Chen Mingpan, please both co to the stage!"
Zhao Sheng stood up at the sound, leapt onto the platform in response to the Seven Beauties’ cheers.
However, after waiting for a while, he still saw no sign of his opponent.
The Foundation Establishnt Referee frowned and raised his voice: "Qi Lin Chen Family, where is Chen Mingpan? If you don’t get on stage soon, it will be considered a forfeit."
Upon hearing this, murmurs and whispers spread among the crowd in the audience.
"Don’t rush, the Young Master is here." At that mont, a robust young man clad in silver-white armor flashed onto the platform.
As this person stepped onto the stage, it caused quite a stir below.
"Did you hear? This Chen Mingpan’s grandfather is a late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator. Look at the spirit light flowing on his armor, it’s clearly not an ordinary treasure, probably a Spiritual Artifact level armor!"
"Hehe, even if that thing is not a Spiritual Artifact, it’s at least a top-level Half-Spiritual Artifact. Alas, looks like Chen Mingxi’s journey stops here, as his opponent has been scheming for a while!"
As the audience discussed, Chen Mingpan flipped one hand, and a Profound Iron Giant Bow appeared in his grip, arrogantly stating: "I’ve disliked you for a while now. Today, I’ll give you a good lesson. Rember, one should be humble and modest, don’t be too flamboyant!"
Zhao Sheng didn’t reply, his gaze sweeping over the Spiritual Artifact longbow and the Half-Spiritual Artifact armor in Chen Mingpan’s possession. His lips slightly curved upward upon seeing Chen Mingpan.
Seeing this, Chen Mingpan imdiately beca enraged, pulling the spirit bow with both hands, flooding his entire mana into it. After a series of string sounds, three spirit power arrows about a foot long appeared on the bowstring.
Violent spirit power fluctuations rippled outward, astonishing the spectators below.
Not far on the White Jade High Platform, Chen Dacheng, Chen Daqian, and other leaders of the Chen Family also focused on this match.
Chen Dacheng wore a somber expression, frequently glancing at the Family Head, several tis protesting through ssages, but was forcibly appeased by the Family Head.
Feeling like he was now the center of everyone’s focus, Chen Mingpan was secretly pleased, his hand releasing the bowstring in an instant. Three arrows of light flew in a triangular formation towards Zhao Sheng’s chest and abdon.
Zhao Sheng remained motionless, a faint smile playing on his face.
The next mont, three strands of golden sword light shot out from his sleeve, eting the three incoming light arrows head-on.
Boom boom boom!
With the muffled sounds, Chen Mingpan’s complexion changed, hurriedly pulling the bowstring, shooting three consecutive rounds of light arrows.
Zhao Sheng’s figure blurred, appearing over ten yards away, easily evading the attack.
anwhile, a thunderous sound rang out, and a line of golden light tore through the void. The sharp radiance lingered on the viewers’ retinas, instilling awe and fear.
"In this match, the Main Branch Chen Mingxi is victorious!"
As these words fell, Chen Mingpan collapsed heavily on the ground, fainting imdiately.
"Damn, I lost again! I spit on you, Chen Mingpan, you useless fool. Even with a Spiritual Artifact, you lost. You...you could have at least held on for a few more rounds! Now I’ve lost bitterly."
