Chapter 43: A Different Martial Arts Tournament

  Coming out of Jiggs' office, Ye Huan still felt a little strange in her heart.

  In one night, everything seemed to have changed. A mysterious power from the unknown had appeared on his head, erasing over 10,000 people who might threaten him, and even changing Jiggs' attitude - the document Ye Huan signed earlier had changed him from a bystander to East Lin's first-class free high-achieving student!

  There is also a father-son relationship between Jiggs and another Ye Huan, Ye Huan never thought that the big villain Jiggs would become his adoptive father overnight!

  Of course, what's most important is the upcoming martial arts tournament.

  To be honest, Ye Huan didn't have the confidence to win this martial arts tournament, but Feng Zhiyi's wingspan had already reached two meters. He really wanted to exchange blows with the talented young men on the mainland and test his own strength. Moreover, the King's return was a great opportunity, and no hot-blooded man would refuse such a grand challenge, right?

  Thinking so, Ye Huan even felt a little bit grateful to Jiggs...

  But soon this feeling turned into curses!

  It was around 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, Ye Huan attended Giles' dinner party. Just as everyone was about to leave, he was pulled by Jiggs into a elegant small teahouse, where they sipped tea and chatted. When Ye Huan mentioned the martial arts tournament, Jiggs' expression turned strange. "Ye Huan, you really want to participate in this martial arts tournament? Hehe, it's also good, young people are hot-blooded, sometimes they will charge forward without considering difficulties or dangers..."

  "Is this martial arts tournament still going to be dangerous?" Ye Huan detected that Giles' tone was off.

  "Hmm... Haha, for you, it's not a threat at all. I've heard rumors that you've already received the blessing of Dandan Ge, and possess divine-like powers! Greis chuckled twice, "In my opinion, in this martial arts tournament, you'll at least make it into the top 50!"

  What Gail said in the first half of the sentence sounds like wearing a tall hat, and even has a bit of a flattering tone. But the second half of the sentence... among the top 50, is there such flattery?

  Ye Huan's own psychological expectation is to be in the top ten!

  "What's wrong?" Seeing that Ye Huan's face was a bit unhappy, Giles hesitated for a moment. "Among the top 50, I'm afraid what I said is not very pleasant to hear, but Ye Huan, didn't Jiggs tell you about the details of this martial arts tournament? Even the Pope himself has privately acknowledged that if any of the Father's followers can make it into the top ten, it would be a blessing from Heaven!"

  Wait a minute!

  Ye Huan finally realized that Jiggs had intentionally left out some things in their previous conversation. He thought for a moment, "The general means that this time's martial arts conference will also have people outside of the Heavenly Father Sect participating?"

  "You didn't know that?" Glees was even more surprised, "The Heavenly Father's Martial Arts Assembly is held once a year, but this time, His Holiness the Pope issued an order six months ago. This martial arts assembly will no longer be limited to the followers of the Heavenly Father. On the entire continent, as long as you are a young man under the age of 20, you can participate!"

  As he spoke, a glint of greed even flashed in his eyes. "And to stimulate the young people to participate, His Holiness the Pope has even taken out ten divine artifacts and bestowed them upon the top ten winners of this martial competition. The first artifact is... the Glory Cloak that the Supreme Father Emma Xi once wore!"

  Ye Huan's eyes lit up.

  In previous years' martial arts conferences, the champion's prize was also the robe of glory, but that was just for the winner to wear for a moment before returning it to the Pope. The meaning of praise far exceeded reality, but this year... Ye Huan exclaimed: "This year's champion can take away the robe of glory!?"

  "It's true, the entire continent is abuzz over this 'Clothing of Glory', and even countries thousands of kilometers away have sent their most talented young people. And I heard that three years ago, after Caesar defeated you, he refused to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament again, saying there were no worthy opponents and it would be boring. But this year, the strongest Emperor of the Heavenly Father's Church, the invincible Caesar, has decided to participate!"

  Bang!

  Ye Huan's heart suddenly burst forth with a scorching feeling, this was another Ye Huan leaving him with a will to fight, a manly bloodline!

  "Is Caesar going too?"

  He rubbed his chin, then furrowed his brow, "General, Caesar is a follower of the Heavenly Father's teachings. He has already gone to war, why doesn't the Pope have confidence in taking down the top ten!?"

  "Caesar may be strong, but don't forget that after the Great Calamity, the Yan Huang people are the strongest on this land!" Geres sighed helplessly. "The Yan Huang Lie family, Lie Tianyang, Li family, Li Xuanbiao, Liu Feng family, Liu Fengxing... too many talented young men will be going to war, and even Caesar doesn't have the confidence to win against these Yan Huang geniuses!"

  Ding Dong.

  Ding Dong.

  Ye Huan's fingers suddenly began tapping on the table, with a gentle rhythm, as if playing a leisurely melody.

  "Moved?" Glees chuckled, "This pair of hands, was played like that back then, a piece of Beethoven's Sonata, I don't know how many talented youngsters were defeated in the martial arts tournament!"

  Ye Huan smiled, Gail said right, Ye Huan was also a man, unable to refuse this king's return of hot blood, and wanted to compete with the strongest of his generation!

  "By the way, did you receive the returned warhorse and armor?" Gleis suddenly said something out of place.

  "It's all here, praise General Dann, not a single horse is missing, and every set of armor is kept extremely intact. The imperial soldiers under the general's command are indeed strictly disciplined!" Ye Huan couldn't understand what Geres meant, so he casually flattered him.

  "Hmm, buying these warhorses must have cost a lot of money, right? Do you have sixty gold coins?"

  Ye Huan smiled wryly, the war horses and armor were all bought by the followers themselves, but the training equipment for the Knights Templar, daily food, and maintenance of their gear, all required Ye Huan to spend money. Calculating it out, the over one hundred gold coins extorted from Popov's hands were almost depleted.

  Gleis saw through Ye Huan's mind, "What you're most worried about now is that you don't have any financial resources, right?"

  "Huh?" Ye Huan suddenly discovered that at this moment, Ge Li looked just like a native swindler. His heart moved, "Praise Brother Dan, does General have a way to get rich?"

  "I'm a soldier, how can I do business?" Glees smiled slightly, "I just have a small suggestion, you know that within the empire there are many underground forces, in order to increase their financial resources, the empire sometimes issues them permits that cannot be seen in daylight..."

  As he spoke, Gries casually opened his pocket and pulled out a golden certificate, placing it on the table and pushing it to Ye Huan's side. "For example, this one allows you to plunder the underground forces... Private Plunder Permit!"
