Chapter 47: Use Me in the First Battle of Three Martial Arts Competitions

Chapter 47: Use Me in the First of Three Competitions
In front of the martial arts hall, a group of people waited in the open space for a long time.

There were not many people who came to challenge, only seven or eight, less than double digits.

The old man leading the group was a martial artist, with arms and legs that were much thicker than those of an ordinary man, and eyes as sharp as a knife.

The people behind him included both middle-aged and young people, all of whom were martial artists with solid boxing and martial arts skills.

"This group of people are so shabby, yet they dare to come and challenge us?"

The apprentices leaned over the wall and looked out, and finally saw the face of the person who came to challenge them.

It was obvious that he had fled from Sucheng. He couldn't even get enough food, let alone take care of his appearance and clothes. He looked a little disheveled.

Judging from the momentum, Jianxiong Martial Arts School is already superior.

"The owner is here."

When the news of the challenge came, the gate of the inner courtyard was opened.

Wang Jianxiong walked out of the martial arts hall with his trusted disciples and confronted the uninvited guests.

Following behind them were formal apprentices, each of whom was at a different level of strength, including Zhou You and Li Hao.

Suddenly, dozens of people stood in front of the martial arts hall, looking strong and powerful.

In comparison, the number of people who came to challenge the opponent was pitifully small.

"Wang Lao Hu, I want to challenge you."

Although the old man was thin, he spoke with great vigor, making everyone's ears buzz.

As a strong martial artist, he is also a well-known figure in the Sucheng boxing and martial arts circles.

Wang Jianxiong narrowed his eyes. This was his habit of looking at people, just like a tiger looking at its prey.

"Zhuang Daqiang, you are from the boxing and martial arts circle in Sucheng. It is too unruly for you to come to my Gongliang City to steal food."

Gongliang City and Sucheng each divided their territories and did not interfere with each other. Once they crossed the border to fight for territory or steal business, they would be committing a big taboo.

The old man's name is Zhuang Daqiang, and he is the owner of a martial arts school in Sucheng, famous for his "Dazhuang Fist".

"With Sucheng gone, my disciples and apprentices can't even get enough food, so what rules are we talking about?"

Zhuang Daqiang swung his hand suddenly, and the air exploded like a whip.

"Wang Lao Hu, I know you are a vicious person with strong fists. I have already risked my life to challenge you."

"If I am lucky enough to defeat you, I hope you will give me some space so that I can open a martial arts school and make a living. If I lose, I will give you my life."

These words were spoken in a tragic manner, and a breath of iron and blood rushed towards me.

Considering the current situation of the refugees in Sucheng, this group of warriors has reached a desperate situation where they have to fight for their life.

Wang Jianxiong grinned after hearing this and said, "Okay!"

Then he said, "I won't bully you because you have fewer people. We will decide the winner in three games."

"The first match is for the Jinli disciples, the second match is for the Qi and Blood disciples, and the third match..."

Wang Jianxiong stared at Zhuang Daqiang and said, "How about you and I go down and decide the outcome, life or death?"

"it is good."

Zhuang Daqiang set out from Sucheng and wandered along the way. Most of his disciples and apprentices had already run away.

Those who follow him now are all loyal and promising talents that he thinks of.

He also hoped that with the help of a few disciples and apprentices, he could reopen a martial arts school and make a comeback.

"Zhuang Tie, you play in the second game."

"The disciple accepts the master's order."

Zhuang Tie is a middle-aged warrior and also his trusted disciple, with the same status as Lu Qiang who is beside Wang Jianxiong.

All of Zhuang Daqiang's Qi and Blood disciples went to seek their own livelihoods, leaving him alone to stay loyally by his side.

As for the first round of Jinli apprentice...

Both sides have tacit understanding, and the key lies in the last two games to win two out of three.

However, Zhuang Daqiang and his family had fled here, and they had poor food and accommodation, and they were playing away from home, so they could not afford to lose any game.

"Zhang Shiyu, you play in the first match."

When Zhuang Daqiang said this name, his eyes showed reluctance. Among all the Jinli apprentices, he was most optimistic about this disciple. If he trained him carefully, he would surely become a martial artist and a prominent figure in the future.

On the way to escape, he and Zhuang Tie were both hungry, but they also wanted to make sure Zhang Shiyu ate first, for fear that he would starve.

If given a choice, the old man would never let the other party play.

In a boxing competition, the chances of getting injured are minor, and the worst is death. The slightest mistake can destroy your foundation.

"As you command, Master."

When the people from Jianxiong Martial Arts School heard Zhang Shiyu addressing Zhuang Daqiang, they immediately knew that he was of an unusual status.

The fact that apprentice Jinli can call him Master shows that he is highly regarded by Zhuang Daqiang and is not an ordinary apprentice.

"Master, this young man must be extraordinary."

Lu Qiang said softly to Wang Jianxiong.

He was not worried at all about his second match against Zhuang Tie.

No one has come to challenge Jianxiong Martial Arts School in the past ten years, but this is not just a reputation, but the result of the great reputation of the owner, Mr. Wang.

Zhuang Daqiang, who was far away in Sucheng, called him "Wang Lao Hu" when he saw him.

The advantage of playing at home is a fact recognized by both the enemy and us.

Everyone in Jianxiong Martial Arts School has three meals a day, no worries about food and clothing, no shortage of accommodation, and they also have secret tonic medicine to take regularly.

On the other hand, Zhuang Daqiang and his group left their foundation in Sucheng and came to Gongliang City. They were unfamiliar with the place and had to sleep in the open air every day. In the end, even if they had the ability, they could not display it.

Therefore, you must win the first battle in order to gain a head start.

"A poor family, no matter how talented they are, will not be able to defeat the general trend."

"The weakest of my martial arts disciples can defeat him. Do you believe it?"

Wang Jianxiong opened his eyes, his gleaming light falling on the formal apprentices in the second row.

Among this group of apprentices who have developed strong strength, who has the least experience?

Zhou You and his boxing partner Li Hao, along with other apprentices from the city, were surrounding Xu Ying.

Clearly distinguished from them were the apprentices who came from farmers' families in Zhong Shaoying's manor outside the city.

"Brother Xu, who will the owner of the hall choose for the first match?"

A formal apprentice's face was full of curiosity, this was a chance to show off.

Xu Ying said with a straight face, "Don't even think about it. It's a thankless task in the first battle."

If they lose a home match, it will bring shame to the owner of the martial arts school and tarnish the reputation of the school. I'm afraid the only result is death to atone for their sins.

Zhong Shaoying's brothers at the side heard this and laughed, "Xu Ying, you don't dare?"

"What nonsense! If the owner of the hall calls my name, I will definitely go out and beat that guy to death."

Xu Ying patted his chest so hard that it made a loud thump.

With so many apprentices present, and he being an old man in the outer courtyard of the martial arts gym, he absolutely could not admit defeat.

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Wang Jianxiong spoke up, "Apprentice Zhou You, you will play the first game."

Not only others, but Zhou You himself was shocked. What, it was me?
He racked his brains but couldn't understand why the owner sent him to fight on behalf of the martial arts school.

There are so many formal apprentices, some of whom have ten or even twenty years of profound skills. Why did you choose him?

"Ahem, that's right."

Wang Jianxiong said to Zhuang Daqiang, "See? This kid got started the latest and has the least skills."

"Don't accuse me of taking advantage of you. I'll give you a sure win in the first game."

Lu Qiang, standing aside, had a stern face, thinking that his master was still as sinister as ever.

Outsiders don't know, and the people in the martial arts school don't understand yet, that although Zhou You joined the school the latest, he was able to face the virtual demon alone without retreating, and fight without dying.

This uniqueness alone is something that no ordinary apprentice can compare to.

"Okay, keep your word, Wang Lao Hu, thank you."

Zhuang Daqiang winked at Zhang Shiyu, telling him to fight with all his strength and win the first game.
