Chapter 96: The Martial Arts Competition Begins (Second Update)

  As for what's on people's minds, Yi Chi is clearer than anyone else.

  So, he looked at those excited faces with a sneer, laughing at their ignorance. Even if Yi Bu could get the first place, would he pass it on to them? If the Xuan-level technique was passed on casually, that would be unacceptable. The upper echelons of the Yi family would never want to see this result. Therefore, even if Yi Bu won the first place, he wouldn't pass it on to anyone, of course, that's assuming he could get the first place in the first place.

  "It's a pity that even without me, he can't beat Yifeng anyway." Yi Chi said in a low voice after glancing at Yi Bu Hui on the other side.

  "But... Father is really something, he clearly knows that thing isn't worth anything to either Yifeng or us, yet he uses it as a reward, how annoying! And what's more, it's so treacherous!" Thinking of this, Yiqi also looked towards Yiyun who was smiling at everyone's reactions.

  Perhaps feeling Yi Chi's gaze, Yi Yun also looked towards Yi Chi.

  "Sneaky old man!" Yi Chi mouthed the words, but didn't make a sound. However, Yi Yun, who was watching him from across the way, couldn't help but smile wryly.

  "This kid!" Yi Yun looked at Yi Chi with a hint of helplessness, naturally understanding what he meant. In fact, he also wanted to bring out something truly useful for them, but...

  Yi Yun looked at the elders beside him with a hint of helplessness.

  He initially proposed to give an extra reward of a mid-grade Xuan-level martial skill to the person who came in first, but only a few people agreed, so this proposal could not be passed, and finally, it was decided to reward this low-grade Xuan-level martial skill.

  Even if you enter the Fighting Skill Pavilion, it's not necessarily possible to obtain a good fighting skill. Everything depends on luck and strength. Some people may only be able to get a yellow middle-grade fighting skill after entering.

  ......

  Yi Yun was very generous this time, letting everyone discuss for a while. When he knew that everyone had quieted down on their own, he said: "Alright, now those who want to go on stage to try out should go and register with Yi Zhi Shi."

  After finishing speaking, everyone looked at Yixinglong who had already walked down from the high platform and was standing at the edge of the stage.

  "Alright, everyone who wants to compete come here and take a card." As he spoke, he shook the large bunch of cards in his hand.

  Everyone looks at me, I look at you, but no one takes a step forward.

  Finally, Yi Feng was the first to walk up and took a sign from Yi Xing Long's hand, on which was written a big '1'.

  With Yifeng taking the lead, everyone else immediately ran over to grab a signboard. Of course, those who stepped forward to grab a signboard were all people who had confidence in their own abilities. Only one person below Five-Star Master level came forward, and that was Yichi.

  While Yi Chi picked up a sign with a big '15' written on it.

  This time, the total number of participants was determined at once, and there were 50 people in all.

  ......

  After those who did not participate retreated to both sides, the participants also stood in the middle. Yi Yun then got up and said: "I am very pleased that this year's number of participants is much more than last year's. I am also delighted that the efforts of the Yi family's sons have brought about today's achievements for the family. And now, it is your turn, you new generation of Yi family sons, to show yourselves."

  Excitedly speaking up to this point, Yi Yun looked at all the participating clansmen from left to right before continuing: "Now, I declare that the trial officially begins!"

  After Yiyun finished speaking, Yixinglong also jumped onto the high platform and said: "This time there are 50 participants, the first match is No. 1 Yi Feng against No. 50 Yi Wuming."

  Yi Xinglong finished speaking and jumped off the high platform, yielding it to two contestants.

  When he heard that his opponent was Yifeng, the young man named Yi Wuming suddenly felt a wave of disappointment.

  "It seems I don't have a chance." With this thought, Yi Wuming also gave up the idea of going up to try and directly chose to concede.

  Yi Xinglong glared at Yi Wuming, who had chosen to forfeit. He had just stepped down from the stage, and this guy had already given up - wasn't he being played?

  However, he didn't have any intention of putting up a fight either. After all, letting a six-star Dou Shi go against a one-star Dou Shi was indeed a hopeless situation, and conceding defeat was the more rational approach.

  Then he climbed up onto the high platform once again.

  This time, the 2nd and 49th players in the competition didn't know each other, but they didn't give up, instead they had a great fight on stage.

  "Ah, not bad, this guy has a good grasp of the 'Iron Fist' technique and is using it with some mastery. The 'Iron Fist' is a mid-to-high level yellow-grade martial art, and in his hands, he's managed to bring out its essence. Every time he throws a punch, his opponent scrambles to dodge, although he hasn't landed a hit yet. But in my opinion, once he lands one hit, it'll be followed by countless more punches."

  As expected——

  He was hit by a punch from that person under his opponent's slow dodge.

  This punch, looking at the body that was blasted several meters away, didn't disappoint the name Iron Fist at all. And after hitting his opponent, he didn't give up and directly rushed forward. Next, as Yi Chi thought, more than ten punches hit his opponent in a row, directly knocking him off the high platform.

  Bang!

  This time, he was seriously injured, and the man spat out several mouthfuls of blood in a row, directly fainting.

  After one person was knocked flying, Yì Xīng Lóng quickly called for someone to carry away the person who had fainted on the ground to receive treatment, while he himself leapt onto the high platform.

  "Alright, you've shown us what a true Iron Fist looks like. And now, I declare this match... Lei Tie wins!" Only then did he turn to look at the victorious Lei Tie.

  He just smiled foolishly and jumped off the high platform with a hint of tension.

  "Hehe, alright, let's continue, next is No. 3 vs No. 48."

  Then, Yixing Long stepped down from the high platform again, he vowed that he hated this high platform.

  ......

  The subsequent battles were not as thrilling as that one, and of course, no one was seriously injured again. They were all just minor injuries or direct defeats at halftime, which made Yi Chi feel very disappointed.

  Yi Xinglong stepped up to the high platform for the eleventh time and announced the start of the battle.

  "This match is Yi Ming No. 11 vs Yi Bu Hui No. 39."

  Suddenly, Yi Chi's spirit came, one was a nine-star Dou Shi, but it was a side branch, and the other was an eight-star Dou Shi, but he was the son of the family master.

  "It's getting interesting. Hehe." Yi Chi stared intently at the two who had already ascended to the high platform, he wanted to see if his third brother could win or not.

  And some people who had never watched a game before started watching seriously, such as Yi Lun.

  "Haha, look at San Ge, how did you lose? Losing to a collateral branch person, you must be very disappointed. Yi Lun has always been at odds with Yi Ming and naturally wouldn't have any good ideas."

  And on stage, the two who were about to compete against each other were unusually calm.

  "Yi Bu Hui, the genius from a side branch, I've heard of you before. I just don't know if you're as formidable as the rumors say!" Yi Ming said provocatively to Yi Bu Hui.

  Yi smiled carelessly, not bothered at all by this level of provocation. As long as he could defeat the third young master in front of him, he would be able to clear his own name. At that time...

  "If luck is good, there might still be a chance." Yi Bu regretted that even after knowing the strength of Yi Feng's one-star Great Master, he did not give up on the opportunity to take first place. He also had his own trump card, and if he could surprise him, perhaps there was still a chance to defeat Yi Feng.

  "Alright then, let's see the real thing!" Thinking of his own goal, Yi Bu Hui didn't bother to say more to this Third Young Master of the Yi family and directly took action.

  As soon as he made his move, Yi Ming's face turned ugly. He had originally thought that with his own fighting skills being one level higher than his opponent's, he would have a bit of an advantage. However, looking at the other person's aura, it was clearly also a mid-grade Moon Gate-level fighting skill.

  "Damn it, how did he master the Xuan-level combat skills?" Yi Ming thought viciously as he barely blocked the first attack.

  "Hey, don't get distracted during battle!" Just then, a voice came from the side. Yi Ming rolled to the left again in a sorry state, but still had his sleeve torn by Yi Bu's knife wind.

  "Bastard!" Glaring fiercely at the smiling Yi Bu Hui, Yi Ming also launched his own Xuan-level lower-grade fighting technique after tearing off his own tattered sleeve.

  Yi Ming's aura attribute is the same as Yi Chi and Yi Yun, which are all fire attributes. The fighting skill he uses now is also a fire-attribute fighting skill, 'Flame Red Fist'.

  Only to see Yi Ming's hands suddenly burst into red flames, with these burning fists, Yi Ming punched one after another towards Yi Bu Hui, he wanted to regain his dignity for the shame he had just suffered.

  And after Yi Ming launched the attack, Yi Bu Hui also moved. This time, only to see that the knife in his hand emitted a burst of cyan light after a flash of light.

  "Wind attribute." Yi Chi's voice came from under the stage.

  Not bad, Yi Bu Hui has indeed employed his Wind attribute's Dou Technique 'Frenzied Gale Slash'.

  As the name suggests, even if this fighting skill has a "crazy" character in its name, then this fighting skill naturally takes "crazy" as the main theme. Moreover, it is also of wind attribute, and the speed is fast enough, making it even harder to defend against.

  Two figures, one red and one green, exchanged blows on the high platform, their intense collision sounds echoing out continuously.

  "The lowest of the low, yet one is a nine-star Dou Shi and the other an eight-star Dou Shi. And that Yi Bu Xiang seems to have plenty of battle experience." Yi Chi muttered to himself as he watched the two continuously colliding on stage.

  "It seems like Yi Ming is going to lose." Yi Chi said softly.

  As expected——

  After Yi Chi finished speaking, the battle situation between the two also changed.
