Chapter 205 Competition (2)
On the day of the competition.
In the center of the huge square stands a circular stone platform. It has been there for who knows how many years. It can be said that this stone platform has witnessed the rise and fall of countless martial arts families in Jinling.
This is a sign of changing times.
The stone platform was surrounded by a crowd of spectators, and on the outskirts of the square, some members of the Martial Alliance were maintaining order to prevent too many outsiders from flooding into the square.
Jinling is under the jurisdiction of the Wumeng base in the East China Sea (not the real East China Sea, so don't take it personally). The referee this time is a Wumeng deacon named Xie Chu, who has a serious face.
His cultivation might not be as good as Jiang Tianyuan, Hou Yong and others, but his status was there, and no one dared to offend him.
Interestingly.
Most of the spectators around the stone platform were wealthy families in Jinling. Their positions were very interesting. At first glance, there were obviously more people standing in the Hou family's position than in the Jiang family.
Although there were too many people and the stone platform had formed a circle, there were two obvious half-meter-wide dividing lines near the Jiang family. If we understand it as a fan-shaped diagram, the ratio of the Hou family's position to the Jiang family's position is roughly 8:2.
This represents a stance. Most of the wealthy families in Jinling are more optimistic about the Hou family.
Those who are still standing with the Jiang family at this time are families with whom the Jiang family has a very deep friendship, and they are basically ready to advance and retreat together with the Jiang family.
The Qi family is naturally there.
Moreover, Qi Canglan was sitting in a wheelchair, right next to Jiang Zhenghong, with a sour face, and did not take the initiative to talk to Jiang Zhenghong.
Jiang Zhenghong smiled and said, "Old Qi, I misunderstood you the day before yesterday. I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that you would actually give me such a big surprise."
"Humph!"
Qi Canglan snorted proudly and said, "You still have the nerve to smile in front of me even though you have been friends for so many years and don't trust me. If it weren't for Doctor Lu's face, I would have sat on the side of the Hou family."
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I've wronged you. After this competition is over, I'll treat you to a drink. No one is allowed to leave until you are completely drunk."
"That's pretty much it."
As the two chatted, a sneer suddenly came from the side: "Haha, I see you are drinking farewell wine? No, I think I should treat you to this drink, because your Jiang family is gone, and the Qi family, if you stay here, I'm afraid you can't withstand the suppression of the Hou family. Am I right, father-in-law?"
The person who spoke was Wu Gui.
I don't know when he walked over here, with a sneer on his face.
Jiang Zhenghong frowned and said unhappily, "You bastard, you are not worthy of calling me father-in-law. I was wrong. I shouldn't have married Rong'er to you!"
"Haha, father-in-law, don't be angry. I'm just afraid that I will never have the chance to call you father-in-law again, so I'd like to take this opportunity to call you a few more times." Wu Gui said with a sneer.
"You really don't stand a chance."
Qi Canglan couldn't stand listening any longer and interrupted.
Jiang Rong's eyes were also red and swollen as she said, "Wu Gui, get out of here! Even if you kneel down to curry favor with our Jiang family, we will never forgive you!"
After hearing what they said, Wu Gui was stunned and looked suspicious. Why did it sound like the Jiang family was going to win this time from their tone?
It's probably an illusion.
Wu Gui quickly came back to his senses, sneered and said, "You are really optimistic. Don't blame me for not reminding you. The Hou family is not simple this time. There are two masters in one family. You should know what this means."
Two masters in one school!
These words made everyone around them tremble in their hearts.
There are two masters of the Transformation Realm in the Hou family. One is the ancestor of the Hou family, Hou Yunshan. He was once defeated by Jiang Tianyuan, so naturally he is not the one participating in the competition this time.
The other is the rising star of the Hou family, Hou Yong.
Eight-Finger Grandmaster Hou Yong is ranked 38th on the Grandmaster List.
In a family of martial artists, as long as there is one Grandmaster who has reached the state of enlightenment, it is enough to intimidate the whole area. This time, the Hou family has two Grandmasters, which shows how powerful they are. This is also the reason why these wealthy families are eager to take sides.
The Hou family is very likely to become the overlord of Jinling in the near future.
After Wu Gui said this, he left with a sneer and returned to the area where their Wu family was located - opposite the Jiang family.
He wasn't worried at all.
because.
According to inside information, the Hou family will definitely win this time.
Jiang Zhenghong was indeed depressed by Wu Gui's words, but when he thought of his father having broken through to the peak of the realm of transformation, he became more open-minded and waited until the competition was over so that he could slap these people in the face.
soon.
Xie Chu, the deacon of the Martial Alliance, stepped onto the stone platform and recited the rules that everyone was already familiar with. Afterwards, Jiang Tianyuan and Hou Yong came on stage at the same time.
Although Hou Yong only has eight fingers, he is tall and strong. The clothes on his body cannot cover his horrible muscles, and it seems that they will burst at any time.
His eyes were also extremely sharp, filled with an unruly edge.
As a master of the realm of transformation who is less than forty years old, he does have the capital to be rebellious.
In sharp contrast, Jiang Tianyuan is nearly a hundred years old and has a thin body. He is obviously inferior to Hou Yong in terms of momentum.
However, what puzzled everyone was that Jiang Tianyuan's face did not show much dejection. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit that was inconsistent with his age, and seemed to be very confident in this competition.
At this moment, everyone was thinking the same thing as Wu Gui at that time. Was it an illusion? What was going on with Jiang Tianyuan's mysterious confidence?
Whether it is an illusion or not, the result will come out soon.
With Xie Chu's order, the battle between the two wealthy families in Jinling, which had been grudged for decades, officially began!
