Huo Chenan was advancing triumphantly. The most intense resistance he encountered was just two slaps on the opponent's big bidou, which made the opponent cry on the ring and roll on the ground.
Deng Lingchong, on the other hand, was not so lucky. His road to promotion was extremely dangerous. At this time, he was already bruised and swollen.
The two stood together, one was relaxed and carefree, and the other was extremely embarrassed.
"Sir, why are you like nothing happened?" Deng Lingchong asked in confusion. Because half of his cheek was swollen, he spoke a little slurred.
Huo Chenan looked at Deng Lingchong's miserable appearance and said: "Tsk tsk tsk, this can only prove that you are not good at learning. You need to practice hard in the future."
"Sir, I am teaching you, but you are not hurt at all?"
Huo Chenan raised his slightly swollen right hand and said: "Who said that? Look, my hand is swollen from the slap on the big bidou."
Deng Lingchong was speechless.
At this time, a figure even more miserable than Deng Lingchong was staring at the two viciously not far away. His eyes were black and blue, swollen to the point of two gaps, and his nose was broken, with the tip of his nose all blue and red.
This person was Ji Yuanshan, the third son of the then Prime Minister Ji Qiankun. His face was ashen and gloomy, and water could drip out of it.
Today's competition was extremely difficult, and this was after the Shenlong Cult helped him deal with more than half of the Jianghu people in Hangzhou.
Through the two gaps of his swollen eyelids, Ji Yuanshan stared at Huo Chenan.
Since the demise of the Shen family, Ji Yuanshan left the Shen family. He sent people to secretly investigate the reasons, and Huo Chenan's name appeared in his field of vision.
This little servant who was hiding behind the scenes and making trouble turned out to be a man from Jiangning County after his investigation, which really scared him.
His first reaction was that King Wu was behind the scenes, but his people investigated for a long time and there was no evidence to prove that King Wu was involved.
Just as Ji Yuanshan was thinking about the secret, a servant of the Ji family handed him a handkerchief and said, "Master, you have a nosebleed again."
Ji Yuanshan took the handkerchief and wiped the blood from his nose, and said angrily, "What's the matter? Didn't you bribe the people in the Pinghai Palace to arrange me to the weaker group? Why is my opponent so strong?"
"Reporting to the young master, the people in the Pinghai Palace said that this game was arranged by the young princess herself, and he had no way."
Hearing this, Ji Yuanshan couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Stinky woman, I will make you look good when I marry you home."
The competition lasted until the evening, and the list of the top 32 was finally decided.
Huo Chenan, Deng Lingchong, and Ji Yuanshan were all on the list.
On the second day, the top 32 fought against each other.
At this time, only the middle big ring was used among the three arenas.
Pinghai King Lu Chengfeng was sitting behind the arena in a gorgeous dress, while the young princess was sitting next to the old prince in a tight suit.
Thirty-two people came on stage together to pay their respects to the Prince of Pinghai and the Princess of Pinghai.
The old prince looked at the young talents with bruised faces and noses in front of him, and he couldn't help sweating in his heart. What a sin! These talents were forced into this state.
He scanned these people one by one, and when he saw Huo Chenan, his eyes were obviously brightened.
Huo Chenan's appearance was outstanding, and now he was even more outstanding among a group of people with crooked eyes and slanted mouths.
The most important thing was that he knew very well what his precious daughter did yesterday. She manipulated the game privately just to let this person in front of him advance.
What's even better is this person's identity. He is not the child of a noble official, and he has no involvement in any martial arts sect. If he can be recruited into the family, it would be too suitable.
So, the old prince was more and more satisfied with Huo Chenan's true appearance.
...
Soon, the much-anticipated martial arts competition began.
Huo Chenan's opponent in the first round was a sturdy man.
Since he can break into the top 32, he must be quite capable.
At this time, Lu Yingying was watching the situation in the field nervously with her fists clenched on the sidelines.
Huo Chenan did not wear a servant's uniform today, but a green suit. He stood opposite the strong man like a deep and majestic mountain, with the demeanor of a great hero. In addition, his handsome appearance made him look very showy at this time.
The audience immediately divided into two groups.
One group was mostly male, and they collectively looked down on Huo Chenan.
"I'm afraid this pretty boy can't take the blow from the strong man."
"That's right, this guy is dressed so showy, is he here for a beauty pageant or a martial arts competition, I think he will definitely lose."
The other group was mostly female, most of them were Huo Chenan's fans, of course there were also some who really liked Huo Chenan.
"Look at that young man, he is relaxed and carefree. After yesterday's day-long battle, there is no trace of injury at all. It can be seen that his kung fu is amazing."
"That's right, that's right. Come on, brother, we support you to beat the fat pig on the opposite side."
At this time, someone took the opportunity to open the market.
"Come on, buy and leave, buy and leave, the big man will pay 1.5 to 1, and the pretty boy will pay 3 to 1."
"I bet 10 for the big man."
"I bet 2 for the big man to win."
"I also bet on the big man to win."
Huo Chenan was not in the audience at this time, otherwise he would definitely bet 200 taels on the big man to win. It is not easy to win in a fake fight, but it is too easy to lose, so if you want to buy, you must buy with 100% certainty.
The strong man looked at Huo Chenan's slightly thin body, and couldn't help but sneered and said, "Do you go down by yourself or I throw you down."
Huo Chenan said unhappily, "I choose to throw you down."
"Humph. You don't know your own strength." The strong man snorted coldly.
