Chapter 43 - Advance First

"You guys wait here for the results, I'll bring Ming'er back for treatment!"

Zhao Tianba instructed the Zhao Family members, and quickly left with Zhao Liang.

Although he had ruthlessly given up just now for the sake of his family's face, he was still his son after all.

Just that, what kind of thoughts would the current Zhao Liang have in his mind?

Only he himself knew.

"Judge, you can announce it now!"

After Zhao Tianba and Zhao Liang left, Wang Hao reminded them.

During this period, Zhou Zhi did not interfere, and did not dare to casually interfere either. In front of Zhao Tianba and Wang Liancheng, the two great Patriarchs, he, Zhou Zhi, did not have much face.

Seeing that the winner was already decided, Zhao Tianba left as well. Zhou Zhi then shouted, Wang Hao has won, please come up to the stage for the last two participants!

Very quickly, the contestants from the top nine were born.

Following that, Zhou Qian rushed in front of Zhou Zhi and said loudly: "Everyone, I have a suggestion, everyone, listen to me."

"Clan Leader Zhou, please speak!"

Everyone replied politely.

Zhou Qian nodded his head warmly, then laughed: "I believe everyone has seen Nephew Wang's strength, as expected of our Luoyang Town's number one genius, with such a young age, his strength already far surpasses other participants, so I suggest, this time the first place will be Wang Hao, coincidentally the top nine will be next, there is no need for Wang Hao to compete anymore, the remaining eight people can decide the top two, what do you think?"

Hearing this, everyone present was startled.

Wang Liancheng responded first, "Brother Zhou is right, Wang Hao is truly too powerful, I agree that he got first place."

Everyone scolded Wang Liancheng for being shameless, for being so arrogant.

On the Zhao Family's side, the leader of the elders snappily snorted, "I have no objections!"

Actually, he was afraid that the last participant of the Zhao Family would follow Zhao Liang's footsteps if he met her.

"We have no objections either!"

The representatives of the various families on the west side of the arena said.

Among the top eight contestants, only two of them belonged to the same family. Moreover, they did not hold much hope for the first place, and the reason they had allowed the younger generation to participate was because they wanted to see the world for themselves, and let their own juniors realize the disparity between their peers and encourage them to work hard in cultivation. And secondly, they wanted to test their luck and see if they could enter the top three.

In the past, it wasn't that he hadn't succeeded.

The various families that were participating in the competition had all agreed, so the audience naturally did not jump up to object like a fool.

On the other hand, Wang Hao himself was a little speechless, no one seemed to have asked him for his opinion.

Fine! In any case, the difference in strength was not that big of a deal. Wang Hao shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and did not speak from beginning to end.

"Zhou Zhi, continue!"

Seeing this, Zhou Qian asked him to continue.

"Yes, Patriarch!"

Zhou Zhi cupped his fists towards Zhou Qian and responded, then announced, "Next, can the top eight contestants come up to draw lots again!"

Saying that, Zhou Zhi indicated to the Zhou Family members below, and handed over the signed paper box.

"I hope we don't meet Brother Qiang and Brother Wei."

Wang He of the Wang family muttered as he stepped forward to draw his lot.

This year, the Wang family could be said to be the biggest winner. Forget about Wang Hao winning the championship, three people from the Wang family took up the top eight.

Through the two matches, they could tell that the strength of the Wang Family's three people, Wang Qiang and Wang Wei among them, were not to be underestimated. Compared to the Zhou Qing of the Zhou Family, who had the last two places, they were both seeded contestants.

If they were lucky, the Wang family might even be able to win the top three or even the top four this year.

As they thought of this, the gazes that many people shot at the Wang Clan changed, becoming filled with even more reverence.

After the drawing of lots was over, the three Wang Clan members were fortunate enough not to have run into each other.

Zhou Zhi shouted, "Now, please go up onto the stage with Contestant No.1 and No.2!"

Number one was Zhou Qing from the Zhou Family, and number two came from Xie Kun from the Xie Family, one of the Four Small Families.

The two of them were in the same realm of cultivation, but it was obvious that Zhou Qing was much stronger than Xie Kun and had broken through at least a year earlier.

Zhou Qing was the only son of Zhou Qian, so he inherited Zhou Qian's personality. He looked courteous and refined, dressed very well, had a proper official look, and had a modest and noble demeanor.

"Brother Xie, please!" Zhou Qing raised his hand and smiled.

Since they were of the same age, they had known each other since a long time ago. With Zhou Qing's personality and upbringing, he naturally would not look down on Xie Kun's birth.

"Brother Zhou, I admit that I am no match for you, but I still wish to fight. Brother Zhou, please do not blame me and show mercy." Xie Kun clasped his fists.

To be able to befriend Zhou Qing, Xie Kun was also an honorable and talented person. In terms of talent, he was not that much weaker than Zhou Qing, the only difference being the background of his family.

"Let go!" Zhou Qing nodded.

"Good!" "Look at this!"

Xie Kun growled, and pounced towards Zhou Qing with an imposing manner like a rainbow, and the two of them instantly clashed.

Bang Bang Bang

Wang Hao was watching the battle from the stands, thinking, "Zhou Qing's strength is indeed close to that of Wang Qiang, and the outcome is hard to predict. Wang Wei, if we were to reveal our abilities at full speed, our victory would be great, but, if our Wang Family were to take on the top three, I'm afraid that the Zhou Family would be pushed towards the Zhao Family. Once the two of them join forces, with the current strength of the Wang Family, they will not be able to hold on, and even the Tianhe City will not be able to."

The Luoyang Town was one of the eighteen towns under the jurisdiction of the Tianhe City, and the two territories were more than five hundred miles apart from each other, where bandits would frequently appear on the road. The Tianhe City was only one of the eighteen towns under the jurisdiction of the Tianhe City, and was only one of the eighteen towns, where the two territories were more than five hundred miles apart.

Wang Hao's mind was filled with thoughts as he analyzed the pros and cons.

The Zhao and Wang Families had always been at loggerheads with the Wang Family. The two families had been fighting for more than a hundred years, and there was not much room for negotiation, but the Zhou Family was different.

The big families of each town wanted to unify their own power in the town, and then annex the other towns. Because, as long as they could unify ten towns, they would be promoted to a city, and they would be granted the title of a city lord by the government. They would enjoy the annual salary and resources of the empire.

The Tianhe City was established hundreds of years ago, and the current City Lord's Mansion was only a huge clan in the Heavenly River Town.

The three big families of the Luoyang Town were the ones that maintained the Luoyang Town from being annexed. Once the Zhao and Wang Family fell out, unless one family had an overwhelming advantage, the other families would only benefit the other towns if both families lost.

Boom! *

"Zhou Qing wins, please go on stage with competitor # 3 and # 4!"

Roughly fifty moves later, Zhou Qing sent Xie Kun flying out of the stage and obtained victory.

Obviously, Zhou Qing was holding back.

An hour later, the final four were decided.

and Wang Qiang's strength were unquestionable. After defeating the Zhou and Zhao Family's participants, they were able to steadily advance. Although Wang He's strength was lacking, his opponent was only a member of the Four Small Families.

The Wang Clan occupied three of the top four spots.

The fact that the record was broken once again shocked everyone. They all began to wonder if the Wang Clan would really get into the top three this year.

Wang Liancheng and the other higher-ups of the Wang Family were all grinning from ear to ear.

It had been so many years since he had been so arrogant.

However, Wang Hao did not lose himself in the process, and spoke to Wang Liancheng before the competition.

"Patriarch, I suggest that you discuss it with Patriarch Zhou. There's no need to compete anymore. The two families will each get a spot."

"No way!"

Wang Liancheng had yet to speak, but the Great Clan Elder was the first to jump out and retort, "It's a fair and square battle, I see that Wang Qiang and Wang Wei are not weaker than Zhou Qing, why should we let them go? It's as if our Wang family is afraid of his Zhou family. "
