“Everyone, there are a total of 24 rooms in this building. In 21 of them, we have put up the names of each of your sects, which you can enter directly.”

“Each room is divided into an outer and an inner room. The outer room has monitoring provided for your challenge matches. If you fight in any other place, it won’t count in your scores. The inner room has basic necessities for resting during the night.”

“However, please note that there’s no time limit for challenges. They can start at 2 0’clock today and end tomorrow afternoon at 2 0’clock. All of you may face challenges anytime, so please arrange your rest time accordingly.”

“Lastly, please do not damage the items in the inner rooms during your fight, or else you’ll need to be pay compensation according to the price.”

With that said.

The staff member glanced at the time.

“It’s now 1:50 PM, and there are still 10 minutes before the first round officially begins.”

“Please wait in your respective rooms before the official start.”

“Everyone, please enter.”

Standing at the building entrance,

The staff member smiled and gestured for everyone to enter.

As soon as the words fell,

Everyone rushed into the door.

The staff member didn’t follow, but stayed downstairs.

Zhou Li intentionally lagged behind the group.

He’d already noticed.

Not only the Snake Fist Sect boy,

Most of the people there in the D Level Sect were now watching him.

After all,

Everyone was a martial artist and had a basic level of discernment.

Even though he was barely pretending, his feeble gestures could hardly escape everyone’s eyes.

Damn it!

Zhou Li clenched his teeth in anger.

If he gets beaten up because Chen Sheng didn’t arrive on time,

He wouldn’t even let this brat go even as a ghost.

With that thought,

He took out his phone.

He sent Chen Sheng over a dozen messages in a row.

Each message had only six words.

Come fast come fast come fast!

After sending the messages, Zhou Li pretended to be calm, put the phone in his pocket, and went upstairs with the others.

The building had five floors in total.

Excluding the first floor, each floor had six rooms.

The Eagle Body Sect wasn’t on the second or third and fourth floors.

This let Zhou Li feel some relief.

If the Eagle Body Sect was on the lower two floors, he wouldn’t have been able to get past unnoticed.

Arriving at the fifth floor corridor,

Zhou Li glanced around and saw cameras on both sides of the corridor.

Of the six rooms, only three had signs on the doors,

Eagle Body Sect, Stone Fist Sect, and Crane Fist Sect.

Zhou Li was about to quickly enter his room to avoid being seen by others as to which sect he belonged to.

“Oh, old man!”

A voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Shi Dazhuang was standing at the staircase, waving cheerfully at Zhou Li.

“Old man, would you like to have some tea in my room?” He smiled and gave a thumbs up, pointing to his room.

Bang!

However ,

Zhou Li slammed the door in response.

Shi Dazhuang’s waving hand froze in place.

Shi Dazhuang scratched his head, not sure what he did wrong. “Maybe he’s old and tired from walking?”

Shi Dazhuang also noticed Zhou Li’s physical weakness,

But he didn’t have the slightest intention to challenge him.

Coming to the Martial Arts Conference was to test his own strength and learn from other martial artists, not to beat up old men. With that thought,

Shi Dazhuang could only return to his room for now.

He planned to visit Zhou Li later when the time was right.

As Zhou Li and Shi Dazhuang both entered their rooms,

The fifth-floor corridor quickly fell silent.

But this silence didn’t last long.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of a gong echoed above the Martial Arts Association.

All the participants immediately checked the time.

The Martial Arts Conference, Officially began. On the Level D Building, Second floor.

The moment the gong sounded, Bang!

A room door suddenly swung open.

Coming out from the inside was none other than Bai Wuyi, who had been targeting Zhou Li from the beginning.

The instant he stepped out, he began to look around.

Footsteps echoed from the other five rooms on the second floor.

It seemed that most people opted for active attacks rather than passively waiting for challenges.

After all,

For the people in their D-Level area who want to fight all the way to Class A and gain qualification for the promotion competition, they need to participate in twenty or thirty battles within 24 hours.

Every minute is precious.

The footsteps in the rooms on both sides are getting closer to the room doors.

Bai Wuyi hesitated no more, his body instantly turned into a phantom and charged towards the corridor, running upstairs along the staircase.

Whoosh!

The white phantom quickly passed through the third floor.

Some disciples who had just walked out thought someone was going to challenge them because of a subconscious defensive posture.

But they saw the white phantom flash by, without stopping.

“Such speed!”

The disciples were secretly shocked in their hearts.

The speed made it impossible for them to see the person’s face clearly, but they could infer from his white training clothes that he was Bai Wuyi from the Snake Fist Sect.

This person is dangerous and should not be challenged easily.

A few disciples who had just walked out raised the threat level of the Snake Fist Sect in their hearts, and decided to avoid them when challenging.

Then,

They looked at each other, their eyes full of vigilance.

No one challenged the people on the same floor but went to other floors.

At this time,

Bai Wuyi had already reached the fourth floor.

His gaze swept over the doors on the fourth floor, but he did not see the words “Stone Fist Sect”.

It seemed… on the fifth floor!

Bai Wuyi’s eyes flashed.

He quickly turned back and ran towards the stairway, preparing to rush to the fifth floor at the fastest speed.

However,

Just as he entered the stairway, Bai Wuyi saw a young man leisurely walking up from downstairs.

The two briefly exchanged glances.

The young man had short black hair, wearing a hoodie and jeans, looking very casual.

Bai Wuyi frowned.

Who is this?

On the way to this Level D Building, he had already memorized all the people in the D-Level sects.

But after searching through his brain memories, he was certain that he had never seen this person before.

Did he miss it?

Or is it the Association staff?

Just as Bai Wuyi was puzzled,

The young man just glanced at him and moved on, stepping up the stairs.

Not good!

Bai Wuyi secretly felt something was wrong.

No matter who this person was, it seemed their destination was the same as his.

Could it be… someone who also wants to get ahead of others by using that old man from the Stone Fist Sect to brush up their combat record?

There was no time to think more.

Seeing the other party was already two steps ahead of him, Bai Wuyi burst into full speed.

Whoosh!

His body shot out, bringing up a gust of wind.

He quickly overtook the young man, heading straight for the fifth floor.

In just one breath, Bai Wuyi crossed the stairway between the two floors and successfully reached the fifth floor.

Without hesitation,

He rushed into the corridor while looking at the words on the room doors.

Crane Fist Sect, no.

Eagle Body Sect, no.

Stone Fist Sect, found it!

Bai Wuyi’s eyes shone brightly.

He grabbed the doorknob and pushed the door open.

He shouted loudly,

“I want to chal-

Before he could finish his sentence,

Bai Wuyi’s face showed some astonishment.

Because a wall of people appeared in front of him. Looking up, Shi Dazhuang’s surprised face came into view.

“Huh?” “Challenger?” “Come on!”

“Let’s have a good fight!”

As soon as the words fell,

Bai Wuyi opened his mouth, about to argue,

“No, I might–”

He raised his foot, ready to exit the room.

Whoosh!

Shi Dazhuang’s rough arm grabbed him.

“Since you’re here, let’s talk first.” Bang!

The room door closed tightly.

Meanwhile,

Chen Sheng had just reached the door of the Eagle Body Sect.

He looked at Bai Wuyi’s retreating figure disappearing beside the door of the Stone Fist Sect, his face puzzled. “What is he doing?”

“Rushing to see his lover?”
