While Qin Hai and Zu Chong were fighting, two people were standing on a balcony on the second floor of a two-story villa not far from the arena, watching their fight.
One of them was a tall and st.u.r.dy man with a deep look in his eyes. He was the current head of the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Xiong.
Shangguan Xiong put his hands behind his back and watched for a while, then asked in a deep voice: "Elder Liu, what do you think?"
Elder Liu, who was standing next to Shangguan Xiong, was an old man with a head full of white hair. His face was ruddy though, and his spirit was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with vigor. One look and it was clear that he possessed an extraordinary inner force cultivation.
"Hehe, that little fellow is quite interesting. He purposely showed weakness in order to conserve his strength and take the initiative in the second match."
Elder Liu stroked his beard and chuckled: "This little guy isn"t simple. He even has the power to fight an Earthly Immortal. I really don"t know where he came from."
Shangguan Xiong said: "Indeed, it"s not bad, but it"s a pity that his surname isn"t Shangguan!"
Elder Liu laughed: "Patriarch, you don"t have to feel sorry. In my opinion, if Jian Yun perseveres, it is only a matter of time before he enters the Earthly Immortal Stage, and Shangguan Ying has inherited your brilliant strategy. As long as the two of them are here, the Shangguan family will have no more worries!"
Shangguan Xiong sighed lightly, "It would be great if the merits of these two could be focused on one person!"
Old Liu smiled faintly. Regarding the issue of the heir, that was something Shangguan Xiong had to consider. Although he had Shangguan Xiong"s deep trust, it was better for him not to say too much.
"Patriarch, if things go as expected, Zu Chong will not be a match for this little fellow surnamed Qin. Furthermore, this little fellow is deliberately hiding his strength, so it is very likely that he will really show his true strength in the second match. What are you going to do if he helps Zhi to win two consecutive rounds?"
"Although he"s not bad, it won"t be that easy for him to win two rounds in a row!" Shangguan Xiong"s tone was flat, but he sounded confident.
Elder Liu, who was behind him, also nodded his head and smiled: "Indeed!"
"Bam!"
Just at this moment, Qin Hai, who everyone thought had been stuck on his left and right, unexpectedly grabbed onto Zu Chong"s arm by chance. Although he had also lost his center of gravity and was about to fall, the most amazing thing was that in the instant before he fell, he actually used his foot to throw Zu Chong off the stage.
Zu Chong quickly got up from the ground and jumped onto the stage angrily. He then rushed towards Qin Hai again.
However, Qin Hai raised his right hand and shouted, "Stop!"
He turned his head and asked the referee, "According to the rules that was set beforehand, does it matter who leaves the stage first and who loses? "What"s your verdict now?"
The few judges were all elders of the Shangguan family. When faced with Qin Hai"s questions, the few judges looked at each other, momentarily at a loss as to how to punish him.
Regarding the level of martial arts, from the fight between Zu Chong and Qin Hai just now, it was obvious that Zu Chong had the advantage. Qin Hai had been pa.s.sively defending and he had only grabbed an opportunity to throw Zu Chong off the stage by chance.
However, rules were rules. Being able to utilize rules rationally was also a skill. Therefore, after urgent discussion, the few judges decided to agree that Qin Hai had won.
The moment the referee announced the result, huge cheers erupted from Shangguan Zhi"s side. Qin Hai also raised his right hand high in the air on the stage, smilingly gesturing to everyone below the stage.
Zu Chong glared at Qin Hai with a darkened face and said angrily, "Kid, don"t be happy too early. In the second round, you won"t be so lucky. When the time comes, I will make your death very ugly! "
After he finished speaking, Zu Chong immediately left the arena. Although he was very unwilling, at this point, he could not continue to make a ruckus on the stage. Not only would he lose his ident.i.ty, but it would also not benefit both him and Shangguan Ying.
As soon as Qin Hai left the arena, he was surrounded by Shangguan Zhi, Yan Ru Meng, and the others. Shangguan Zhi was extremely excited, his hands holding Qin Hai tightly as they shook non-stop. He was so excited that he almost couldn"t speak.
On the other hand, Yan Ru Meng became calmer as she said worriedly, "Mister Qin, you must be careful of this Zu Chong after the second match begins. It"s said that this person is vicious and merciless. Right now, he harbored hatred towards you, so when the time comes, he might kill you. "
According to the rules, the second match would be to search for Flame Crystals in the secret realm. After the five squads entered the secret realm, they would search for the Flame Crystals based on their abilities.
In other words, not only did he have to seize every moment to search for Flame Crystals, he also had to be on guard against sneak attacks and ambushes. It was conceivable that there would be endless bloodshed when the time came!
"It"s fine, I"ll just avoid him at most. Besides, with how lucky I am, I might even find enough Flame Crystals soon and leave the secret plane successfully! " Qin Hai said with a smile.
Yan Ru Meng was also amused by Qin Hai"s words. She looked at the peace talisman on Qin Hai"s chest, smilingly looked at Qin Hai and Lin Shanxuan, then said, "Mister Qin, if I"m not wrong, this safety talisman seems to be Shi Xuan"s, right? How are you going to thank Shi Xuan? "
Qin Hai took off the safety charm from around his neck, "Miss Lin, I think it"s better if I return it to you. This charm is very important to you, I can"t steal someone"s beauty!"
Lin Shanxuan shook her head, "You guys still have more matches coming up, so this safety amulet is best left to you. I hope it will continue to bring you good luck!"
Qin Hai thought for a moment and nodded. "Then leave it to me. To express my grat.i.tude, I"ll treat you to dinner tonight." He turned his head to Yan Ru Meng and Shangguan Zhi and said, "Mister Shangguan and Miss Yan are here too!"
Shangguan Zhi and Yan Ru Meng looked at each other and smiled. Yan Ru Meng said, "We won"t be going then. The second round of the compet.i.tion is tomorrow. We still have many things to prepare. You two should have fun!"
… ….
In the evening.
In a high-cla.s.s western restaurant, Qin Hai and Lin Shanxuan sat facing each other as they enjoyed the top-grade French style meal that was meticulously prepared by the famous French chefs.
She was dressed in a light blue dress, with her waist slender, chest encircling high up, and a face that was incredibly beautiful. On her earlobes hung a pair of beautiful star shaped pendants, which looked extremely delicate and attractive, attracting the attention of the customers around them.
Even though the two of them had clashed many times before, as they got to know each other better, their impression of each other had greatly improved. In addition, Lin Shanxuan had taken the initiative to lend the protective talisman to Qin Hai today, which further eased their relationship.
So for this meal, they enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. In the end, when they were about to part, Lin Shanxuan actually felt a sense of reluctance. If Qin Hai had invited her to sit somewhere else, like sing a song, she definitely wouldn"t have refused.
However, Qin Hai did not extend the invitation again. Lin Shanxuan could only get on the car and leave, accompanied by her a.s.sistant.
In the car, Lin Shanxuan turned around to look at Qin Hai, who was standing at the entrance of the restaurant. She couldn"t help but let out a soft sigh in her heart.
