Chapter 115: Chapter 109: Conspiracies and Hidden Crises

Translator: 549690339

Exhibition center. ‘Martial Arts Conference second round, third match.”

“Group C.”

“Crane Fist Sect, He Jiu.”

“Snake Fist Sect, Li Qing.”

After Zhou Qiming shouted out the names,

He Jiu of Crane Fist Sect quickly stood up and nervously walked towards the battlefield.

His opponent was Bai Wuyi, who was previously punched into a wall by Chen Sheng in the last round.

Although he was seriously injured at the time.

Luckily, the Sect Leader of the Snake Fist Sect was skilled in healing arts.

After a round of treatment, Bai Wuyi managed to substantially recover by the next morning and successfully advanced to the second round.

However, with Chen Sheng present,

Bai Wuyi had already lost hope for the title of the champion.

Now, he just wants to take things one step at a time and consider this as an opportunity to hone his skills.

Quickly.

The two of them stood firm on the battlefield.

“I ask for your guidance, Brother Bai.” He Jiu swallowed nervously.

“You’re too kind, Brother He.”

The present Bai Wuyi looked extremely gentle making the tense He Jiu, heave a sigh of relief.

Soon, the two began their fight.

Compared to the previous two matches, this one appeared more competitive.

Crane and snake are natural enemies.

From the martial arts perspective,

Snake Fist is unpredictable, specializing in drilling, winding, and locking, using the opponent’s strength against them and prevailing with the decisive strike.

While Crane Fist consists of grappling, pecking, and seizing moves, its style is fierce, with swift and rapid attacks, particularly effective against the soft force of Snake Fist.

Their strengths are comparable.

At face value, Bai Wuyi’s chances of winning seemed slim.

However, one factor could determine the result in a battle of equal strength.

That is the mindset.

Having experienced a “battle” with Chen Sheng, Bai Wuyi, who seemed to have undergone a significant transformation, had a mindset far superior to He Jiu’s.

Although the opponent’s techniques somewhat restrained him, he constantly dealt with them calmly, successfully dissolving He Jiu’s offensive maneuvers one after the other.

As for He Jiu,

Perhaps due to his anxiety or lack of combat experience,

His Crane Fist was not as swift and fierce as it should be.

In contrast, Bai Wuyi seized several opportunities, causing He Jiu significant losses and gradually pushing him into disadvantage.

Watching this,

Chen Sheng diverted his gaze.

The difference in their attributes wasn’t substantial on the battlefield.

Victory or defeat depended on their mental state during the battle.

From what it seemed,

The victor was apparent.

“What a pity.”

“Actually, the kid from Crane Fist Sect had a good chance of winning.”

“But he apparently has only practiced martial arts for a short time, and hasn’t fought much, his inner mentality is too poor.”

“A perfectly good advantage, he single-handedly turned it into a disadvantage.”

Chen Sheng seemed less interested than Zhou Li, who was watching intently at his side, providing occasional commentary.

With nothing else to do,

He just sat in his seat, silently practicing his breathing technique.

Soon,

The outcome of the battlefield was clear.

Bai Wuyi successfully advanced to the next round.

Unfortunately, He Jiu lost.

Upon returning to the sidelines, he was berated by his master, He Qi.

At this moment,

The first round was coming to its final match.

After the matches finish,

The remaining five martial arts halls will draw lots again to pair up.

One of them will be exempt from the match.

The remaining four will be split into two groups to fight.

Time slowly passed by.

The battle on the field was coming to an end.

The audience around was engrossed in the match.

The atmosphere inside the venue was becoming increasingly heated.

If Zhou Tairan hadn’t forbidden them from making too much noise.

This place would have turned into a boxing ring any minute.

At that moment,

Chen Sheng, who was practicing his breathing technique, seemed to notice something.

He opened his eyes and looked not too far off.

Xu Ying was walking towards him.

As she walked,

Her expression changed repeatedly, as if she was wrestling with something.

Upon reaching him,

“Zhou….Brother Chen.’

By now, Xu Ying had learned Chen Sheng’s real name.

“What’s the matter?” Chen Sheng looked up at him.

Previously,

Chen Sheng had no idea about the dirty deeds going on within the Rabbit Fist Sect.

He only thought Xu Ying was weak, but decent.

Until this martial arts conference.

Experiencing Xu Yang’s disgusting behavior and learning about the Rabbit Fist Sect from other sect leaders,

Chen Sheng’s opinion of Xu Ying rose again.

Being adopted by Xu Yang since he was a child, his life must have been hellish.

Yet even so,

He managed to remain decent, it was truly commendable. “Brother Chen, I’ve thought it over, there’s something I have to tell you.”

Xu Ying pulled over a chair and sat beside Chen Sheng.

His expression became extremely serious.

“Brother Chen, there will be danger here soon.”

Huh?

Upon hearing this,

Chen Sheng’s eyebrows raised.

He initially thought Xu Ying was asking for his help to leave the Rabbit Fist Sect.

But he didn’t expect him to blurt out such a baffling statement.

“Go on.”

Chen Sheng slightly tilted his chin, signaling him to continue.

Xu Ying hesitated for two seconds, as though choosing his words carefully.

Then,

He quickly informed Chen Sheng of everything he knew.

A month ago, Xu Ying noticed.

Xu Yang seemed to be affiliated with a mysterious organization, running errands.

The Rabbit Fist Sect was in charge of some shady business, while the mysterious organization provided rewards such as spirit medicines and breathing techniques.

Since Xu Ying was Xu Yang’s most “beloved” disciple.

Many of Xu Yang’s secrets were seen by him.

For instance, several times, he saw Xu Yang sneaking out in the middle of the night, returning with his hands covered in fresh blood.

Sometimes, Xu Yang also brought back some badly injured people to the Rabbit Fist Sect.

But…

Those who were brought back, Xu Ying never saw them again.

And this time,

After arriving at the martial arts conference, because Xu Ying stayed next to Xu

Yang 24 hours a day.

Therefore,

Xu Yang did not hesitate to reveal his plan.

Xu Ying did not know the specifics.

He only knew that according to the original plan, the mysterious organization would attack the exhibition center after the end of the martial arts conference.

Xu Yang, then would cooperate from within and restrain some masters.

As for how Xu Yang could restrain most of the masters in the field with his own power alone, Xu Ying had no clue. After all,

To Xu Yang, he was just a pet.

At this point,

Hearing what Xu Ying said,

Chen Sheng rubbed his chin, his eyes reflecting deep thoughts.

A large number of martial arts clubs gather at the martial arts conference, which means there will be many martial artists who know breathing techniques here.

Xu Yang, the leader of the Rabbit Fist Sect, was in possession of the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, which did not belong to the Rabbit Fist Sect.

Where did the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound come from?

What is the purpose of the mysterious organization that Xu Yang is in contact with assaulting the martial arts conference?

Chen Sheng thought briefly and quickly had an answer.

Because,

He just happened to know about a mysterious organization that was collecting breathing techniques.

Upon this thought,

A glimmer flashed in his eyes, and he made a decision right away.

“Okay, I got it.”

Chen Sheng stood up and patted Xu Ying’s shoulder.

“You stay with me from now on.”

Upon hearing this,

Xu Ying’s eyes lit up and he was overwhelmed with joy.

“Thank you, Brother Chen!”

He said gratefully.

Chen Sheng’s willingness to let him stay implied that he was willing to protect him.

Xu Ying was naturally delighted.

Then,

Chen Sheng strode towards Zhou Tairan.

Soon,

He stopped in front ot the referee’s table. “What is it?”

Zhou Tairan looked up at Chen Sheng.

“Chairman Zhou, I need to report.”

“Someone is trying to attack the exhibition center, and he should have infiltrated the association by now.”

When he finished,

Before Zhou Tairan could respond, Chen Sheng picked up his phone and dialed a number.

“Hello, is this the Wu’an Bureau?”

“I want to report a crime, some villains are trying to attack the Martial Arts Association.”

From start to finish, Chen Sheng had no intention of risking his own safety.

What a joke.

That mysterious organization had an unknown origin, and according to what Shen Ziming had said earlier, it seemed to have entering realm martial artists.

Although he didn’t know how powerful an entering realm martial artist was.

But for all his life,

Chen Sheng’s principle has been one word:

Steady!
