The red flag was fluttering in the wind.

Today was the eighth to fourth elimination round of the martial arts competition in the security system of Jiang Yuan City. Today, the top four in the martial competition would be decided by the security system of Jiang Yuan City. Tomorrow, this Thursday, two teams would be decided in the finals of the final division.

"If we can get tickets to the finals, we will have a chance to advertise on Jiangyuan City's television stations for free. Everyone, you have to work hard!" Xu Youdao said to Xu Taiping and the others in a serious tone as he personally sat in the middle of the competition team in Jiang Yuan City.

"I keep having the feeling that we aren't very useful, we're just cannon fodder!" A security guard scratched his head in embarrassment.

"That's right. In the end, he was still relying on Director Xu." The other security guard said in embarrassment.

"Don't say it like that, this is a team competition after all. If you try your best, you will definitely be able to achieve some results!" Xu Taiping laughed.

"Anyway, our next goal is to let Director Xu consume the other party's stamina as much as possible!" One of the security guards laughed and said, "I've been in the army for so many years, I can't say how strong I am, but I can definitely use up my stamina."

"Anyways, the three of you should just work hard together. For the rest of the lots, please bless us from not drawing the lots for Hesun Group or Jun Yue Group. As long as it's not those two, I believe we can still easily win the match!" Xu Youdao said.

"Everyone, please come up to the stage and draw your lots!" The referee at the center of the martial arts arena said loudly with a microphone in his hand.

Xu Taiping and the other seven participants all walked to the center of the battling platform, and then they began to draw their lots.

"There are a total of eight balls, each of which is of a different color. Those who draw the same color will become the opponent." The referee said as he pointed to a wooden box at the side.

Xu Taiping walked over to the wooden box and took out a ball.

It was a red ball!

The other teams also went up to draw lots. Xu Taiping stared at it for a while and realized that the red ball had been taken away by a security team called the Formosa Conglomerate.

From the looks of it, the few people in this group didn't have much to show for it. Furthermore, they didn't have much to show for the previous competition, so they seemed to be a very weak team.

"What luck, this Fu Tu Kang is a substitute. The standards of the three contestants this time are average. I have seen their fights before, they are only one contestant left, and then they can barely win!" Xu Youdao happily said.

"We'll follow the same sequence as before. Chen Yong Wu, you go first. Lin Ruifeng, you go second." Xu Taiping said to the two teammates in front of him.

"Yes sir!" The two of them nodded in unison. Amongst them, Chen Yongwu smiled as he said, "We'll strive to help Director Xu get rid of two of them!"

"Don't underestimate your opponent. Being able to enter the top eight proves that your strength is definitely not weak." Xu Taiping said.

"Understood!"

With the conclusion of the drawing of lots, the martial arts competition could be considered to have officially begun.

Xu Taiping and his people were placed in the third group, while the other monks from the Jun Yue group were ranked first. Their opponents were the elite security guards of a certain security company.

However, in the face of the three Shaolin Temple disciples, they were still at a disadvantage. On the side of the Jun Yue Group, they only lost one person, and that was the youngest one, Shizhen. The second person to appear on stage was the one who used his iron fists to beat down the elites of the entire company, making them one of the top four positions.

The second match was a one for Hesse Group.

The people from Heshan Group were all wearing suits, unlike Xu Taiping and the others. They were all wearing security uniforms, which made them look much taller than Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping had watched the Hai Sheng group's previous match, but he had only seen one person fight.

The security team of Hai Sheng Group was too strong. From the beginning of the preliminary competition to now, only one person had acted. They relied on that person to easily defeat all their opponents and enter the top 8.

It was that person again, and their opponent's strength couldn't be underestimated. It was said to be a retired special forces soldier.

However, the scale of victory tilted towards the Hai Sheng group right at the start of the match. Hai Sheng group was still the same person, and then they easily defeated the two people in front of them.

After all, the other party was not some random person. But even so, the people of Hai Sheng group still managed to win this fight without any danger, and won the second place in the top four.

Xu Taiping carefully watched the battle of the man from the Hai Sheng group. That man's fist was fierce and his steps were steady. There were some mysteries hidden within his movements.

In all of China, only Baji Fist was able to match these characteristics.

Clearly, the person from the Hai Sheng group was an expert in Bajie Fist. His attack power was high, his movement speed was mediocre and his defensive power was also very strong.

No wonder he was able to defeat so many opponents on his own so that the rest of the group didn't have a chance to fight back.

Next was the fight for the third and fourth place.

The man in front of them was called Zhang Quan Dan, he was a very thin and weak man. However, it was said that he had fought underground boxing before, and his strength was pretty good, the other two team members were not weak either, one was Zhao Tiegen, and the other was Li Jinshui. Both of them had performed quite well in this competition.

"I'll be the first one up." Chen Yong asked.

"Then you'll be the first one up, you can do it!" Xu Taiping patted Chen Yong's shoulder and said.

"En, alright!" Chen Yong nodded his head and turned around to walk onto the stage. At the same time, his opponent, Zhao Tiegen also walked onto the stage.

After the two greeted each other, they began to fight intensely.

After all, Chen Yong was a professional in the army, and a set of military boxing moves were carried out by the soldiers. As for that Zhao Tiegen, he relied on his big stature and strong physique to come and go with Chen Yong. Although he did not have any tricks, he was not able to see any weaknesses in the situation for a short period of time.

The two fought for a full five minutes. In the end, Chen Yongwu still relied on his skills to barely win over Zhao Tiegen.

Soon after, Li Jinshui went on stage.

In the previous battle, Chen Yong had already consumed a lot of his physical strength. Facing Li Jinshui whose strength was about the same, Chen Yong was fighting with his life on the line, yet still couldn't give the opponent too much trouble. Very quickly, he was grabbed by the opponent and knocked to the ground with a punch.

Chen Yong was helped off the stage, and then Lin Ruofeng went on stage.

Both of them had nearly reached the limit of their endurance, so they both fought beautifully. However, in the end, Lin Ruofeng still lost because Li Jinshui's strength was much higher than Lin Ruofeng's.

As Lin Ruofeng was being helped out of the arena, an apologetic look appeared on his face. He said to Xu Taiping, "I'm sorry, Chairman Xu. I was unable to defeat my opponent."

"You've already played very well." Xu Taiping smiled and said, "Take a good rest, let's prepare for Thursday's semifinals!"

"En!" Lin Ruifeng nodded his head vigorously, "Thursday, I will definitely work hard!"

Xu Taiping smiled, walked up the stage, and greeted Li Jinshui, and then the battle began and ended.

The whole process lasted for about three seconds, the whole process went like this. After the two of them had finished their greetings, Li Jinshui assumed a defensive posture, and Xu Taiping charged forward, rushing in front of Li Jinshui. It took about a second, and then, Xu Taiping punched out.

Li Jinshui blocked Xu Taiping's first punch, and then failed to block the second punch. This took about a second, and then Xu Taiping's fist landed on Li Jinshui's chest, causing Li Jinshui's entire body to fly out, flying for about three to four meters, before falling onto the ground, unable to stand up straight.

The entire process lasted three seconds and Li Jinshui was defeated.

Although everyone present knew about Xu Taiping's strength, his overbearing performance still caused waves of cheers and applause.

Li Jinshui fainted and was sent away. Soon after, Zhang Quan arrived at the stage.

"He just fainted and wasn't hurt." Xu Taiping said to Zhang Quan Cai.

With a cold expression on his face, Zhang Quan Dan Tian clenched his fists and said to Xu Tai Ping, "I will defeat you in the same way."

"Welcome." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

With the command of the referee, the match officially began.

Xu Taiping acted the same as before, taking the initiative to attack. The egg actually rushed towards him on its own accord.

However, no matter if it was speed or grandeur, Zhang Quan was still far from being able to match up to Xu Taiping.

The two of them arrived in front of each other in the blink of an eye.

Xu Taiping waved his right hand, and a spear appeared. He then used his left hand to hit Zhang Quan's ribs.

If this punch landed, according to Xu Taiping's estimation, Zhang whole egg would not be able to fight anymore.

However, to Xu Taiping's surprise, after this punch passed, Zhang Quan did not seem to feel any pain at all. He took the punch head on, and then threw a hook punch directly at Xu Taiping's face.

Xu Taiping stepped back three or four meters and was about to counterattack when suddenly, he heard a loud bang and was sent flying far away.

Bang!

Xu Taiping fell heavily onto the ground.

Zhang whole egg maintained the posture of punching forward, looking coldly at Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping fell flat to the ground. There was no movement.
