Chapter 55: The Tiger List Storm (Three)
Each group of ten people stepped onto the stage, but these weren't just any ordinary people - all ten were top-notch experts from the Tiger List. The higher-ranked ones could take down two lower-ranked opponents with ease; if three or four joined forces, they'd be in for a beating. The battles between experts were incredibly swift. Some charged into battle as soon as they stepped onto the stage, while others formed alliances with other participants to eliminate weaker opponents before turning on each other. This was one intense and thrilling fight! The deafening crashes echoed through the air, yet somehow the stage remained intact despite the ferocity of the battles raging across it.
Each group took five minutes, and ten groups would take just over an hour to finish. Some groups ended very quickly, like the third group, where Cold Tianxiang, the number one on the Tiger List, was. The result was that he was surrounded by others, and in less than three minutes, they were all defeated. This disparity in strength is really too great.
In the end, ten winners were selected, and the white-bearded judge announced the end of tonight's competition. Those ten people went back to rest, and tomorrow will be the ranking battle for the Dragon List here. Then he ignored everyone and got off the stage. Unexpectedly, Provincial Party Secretary Zhang Winguang actually stood up and walked to the old man's side, shook hands with him, and the two of them didn't know what they said.
"I object!!" Just then, more than a dozen eliminated Tiger List experts suddenly shouted. Originally, they were all figures on the Tiger List, although not as good as the Dragon List, but wherever they went, they were respected people. But now, only ten were taken, which means that the titles of the remaining 90 people were directly cancelled. This was difficult for them to accept. So, under the psychological injustice, it naturally reacted in action, and more and more people responded. In the end, there were sixty or seventy people surrounding the old man with white beard. These people didn't dare to surround the provincial leaders, after all, no matter how high their martial arts skills were, a word from them could still make you die again.
That Chen family clansman, Chen Wenda, was a newcomer to the Tiger List and didn't have any other thoughts on his mind. He simply stood far away, when an old man suddenly appeared beside him.
"Grandpa, this year's Huabiao Award is very strange." Chen asked in a low voice.
"Hmph, I just got the news too. Those old guys are really lazy. There must be some trickery going on here, you're still young this year, next time around, you should have a chance to make it into the top ten. These people are truly asking for death, daring to surround that old codger... Ah, seeking death." The old man standing beside Chen Wen Dao said, and he was none other than Chen Dao Ling, fourth on the Dragon List.
"What are you all surrounding me for? Those who can't even get into the top ten of the Tiger List, shouldn't you hurry back and practice more? Are you here to hit an old man like me?" The white-bearded old man looked at the people around him with a frantic expression, as if these high-ranking experts on the Tiger List were just ants.
"No, we just think it's unfair. Why was the ranking of the Tiger List suddenly cancelled?" a burly man shouted. This man was ninth on the Tiger List and unfortunately was in the same group as Ling Tianxiang, who came first, so he had no chance.
"There's no why, little dolls, the times are advancing, reform is needed, do you understand? You're just the growing pains of reform. Go back and work harder, strive to enter the top 10 next time." The old man said, calling out to Zhao Tiezhu and another onlooker, "Hey, you two little dolls, aren't you in charge of security? Quickly come and chase these people away."
Zhao Tiezhu heard the old man set fire to himself, and had no choice but to walk into the crowd and say, "Disperse, everyone. Let's do it another time. Don't make things difficult for me."
These people saw the emblem on Zhao Tiezhu's chest and didn't have much confidence in their hearts. After all, Zhao Tiezhu represented the National Security Special Operations Division, an organization with top-notch experts everywhere. Who knew if this young-looking guy was one of those formidable freaks?
At this time, Zhang Yihuang spoke up, "This, everyone don't be impulsive, I just received a notice from the Central Government. Although the Tiger List was cancelled, the country has arranged another way for you all. The country has organized a sharp knife team directly under the Central Government, and all of you present can directly enter the sharp knife organization. The country will spare no effort to cultivate you, and after passing the annual assessment of the sharp knife team, you can also have the opportunity to enter the National Security Bureau's Special Operations Division on condition. If you are interested, you can sign up now, and I will report it to the Central Government directly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion arose. Before long, a short man asked: "What about the treatment?"
"Your current treatment is the same as ours! You have to believe in the country, it will not abandon you." Zhang Yihuang said with a kind face.
"Alright, I'm in." The dwarf called out, and with someone taking the lead, more people naturally followed suit. However, the dwarf and the ninth-ranked person on the Tiger List exchanged a glance, then nodded slightly to Zhang Wing Emperor. This small action didn't draw much attention from others, but it caught Zhao Tiezhu's notice. After some thought about the process of this matter, Zhao Tiezhu suddenly realized, "Ah-ha! They've subtly brought these people under central management. It seems the reason for the change in the Tiger List rules lies here."
The old man with the white beard also took a somewhat unexpected glance at Zhang Yi Huang, secretly thinking: "Damn it, I didn't expect those old guys to have such an idea!! I really thought they were like me and hated wasting time on competitions, how sinister."
Chen Daoling also savored the taste, sighing: "The country indeed cannot let so many masters roam free in society, this move has taken almost everyone under its control, what a sinister plan."
More than 60 people signed up on the spot, while only over 20 people were still observing or didn't take the Tiger Chart seriously. These people took a look and thought it was nothing special, so they decided to leave.
Just then, Huang Kai Tian, who had been hiding in the dark corner, suddenly spoke up and said, "It's so boring to have a fight at night like this. I'm itching for some action, is there anyone who can come up and play with me?" As he spoke, his body floated onto the fighting platform.
The people around all recognized the man in front of them as Long Bang's ninth, and for a moment no one spoke. The old man with white beard furrowed his brow, wondering what Huang Kai Tian was going to do next. Zhang Yi Huang's expression remained unchanged.
"That little doll, you're quite reserved and seem to be a master. Come on and play with me." Seeing no one coming forward, Huang Kai Tian pointed at Zhao Tiezhu and said, "I also want to see what kind of skills the special agents from the National Security Bureau have."
Although Zhao Tiezhu didn't like to show off, the other party had already come to challenge him and he also wanted to test his current strength. This trial stone was delivered right to his door, so Zhao Tiezhu let out a loud shout: "Then let's play with you!" He jumped onto the boxing ring in one bound.
