Chapter 43 - 43

Chapter 43: Chapter 43 As soon as there were more people in the central square, the discussions became lively. Everyone was whispering about who could win the championship in this family invitational tournament. Most people were optimistic about Xiao Rufeng. After all, he had won the first place for four consecutive years. Now he was at the sixth level of the Lingdong Realm, and it was reasonable for him to win the first place again. Busy - bodies had opened a betting game. Except for Xiao Rufeng's odds which were 1:1, the odds of other disciples were all on the high side. Zhou Peng's odds were even as high as 1:8, a completely unpromising contestant. Zhou Peng didn't care about these at all. He sat aside and quietly waited for the arrival of the competition. After a while, Zhao Wudi, the clan leader of the Zhao family, coughed and walked to the arena to announce the start of the competition. As the first family in Qinghe City, only he was qualified to announce the start of the competition, which made the clan leaders of several other families very unhappy. The competition implemented a random system. Whoever was drawn would fight against that person. There were more than fifty families, and each family had three representatives, so the number of people reached more than 160. However, a knockout system was implemented, and after several rounds, there would be few people left. At the beginning of the competition, the war drums on one side of the arena suddenly sounded, and the rumbling sound of the war drums rang out, making people's blood boil and their fighting spirit high... More than 80 disciples walked onto the arena, took out a small note from a huge box, and then stood still. The referee elders walked forward and reported the names of their opponents one by one. The competition began. The huge arena was divided into ten competition areas. This was also to save time and quickly eliminate the first batch of contestants. After three rounds, a large space was vacated. Those who could pass through three rounds would not be below the Lingdong Realm in strength, and their strength was extraordinary. Naturally, they could not compete in a narrow venue. Ten contestants went up, and Zhou Peng was in the second batch. There was not much suspense in a series of battles, and some disciples at the martial artist realm were quickly eliminated. "Next, Yang Shen vs. Zhou Peng." The referee announced the dissolution, and Zhou Peng walked up and looked at Yang Shen at the first level of the Lingdong Realm with a faint smile. "Zhou Peng, I'm sorry." Yang Shen said coldly. At the same time, his body shook, and his qigong soared. At the same time, the invisible pressure was also released. He drew out the big knife inserted on his back and directly rushed towards Zhou Peng... Meeting a contestant at the Lingdong Realm as soon as he came up, it was really hard to tell whether Zhou Peng was lucky or not. Two - thirds of the contestants were at the martial artist realm. As soon as he came up, he met a contestant at the Lingdong Realm, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "It should be me who is sorry for you." He didn't release any qigong on his body, and there was no pressure. He was very calm, as if he didn't exist... However, just as Yang Shen rushed forward and the big knife was about to cut him, his fists suddenly moved. This time, he still didn't use any qigong, but the speed of his fists was fast, fierce, and ruthless. It was so fast that Yang Shen had no time to react. Before the big knife fell, he only felt a burning pain in his chest. Then, with a "bang". The whole person flew backwards more than four feet and fell heavily on the ground, unable to move. Zhou Peng stood there proudly, as immovable as a mountain. It was as if nothing had happened. The noisy venue suddenly became quiet. They looked at Zhou Peng in surprise. He defeated a contestant at the Lingdong Realm with one move, and without using qigong, it was a pure strength attack. An ordinary punch actually contained huge power. The most important thing was the momentum on Zhou Peng's body, which was like clear water, without any waves. After a long time, the referee announced, "Zhou Peng wins and advances to the next round." The originally quiet square burst into intense discussions again. "Resolving the battle with one move is too ridiculously strong." "That boy Yang Shen is at the Lingdong Realm, and his strength is not low. Unexpectedly, he was solved by Zhou Peng with one punch." "Five years ago, he was the number one genius in Qinghe City. After being a waste for five years, does he want to regain the title of the number one in Qinghe City?" ... Zhou Peng walked off the stage in the discussions and found that several pairs of eyes were staring at him firmly, full of murderous intent, and he still looked as calm as a mountain, without any waves on his face. This punch was to establish his prestige, and then he would be like a hot knife cutting through butter. Xiao Rufeng, I hope you don't have any accidents. When Zhou Peng walked back to his seat, the disciples of the Zhou family were all faintly excited. Zhou Peng had won, and they felt that their faces had added a lot of luster. They straightened their chests a little. They had been at the bottom of the four great families for four years, and this year they finally wanted to hold their heads high. "Not bad, not bad. A simple punch can defeat a contestant at the Lingdong Realm. Your punch has reached the master level." Zhou Zhantian smiled with narrowed eyes. Looking at Zhou Peng's expression of neither being humiliated nor flattered, he added a bit of confidence in winning the first place in his heart. In contrast, the expressions of Zhou Kuang and Zhou Xiangtian were very unnatural. Their smiles were all forced. They were very shocked in their hearts. That punch just now was really like what Zhou Zhantian said, reaching the master level. At the same time, a thought came to their minds, "This son cannot be left alive." In just a few months, from a waste at the first level of a martial artist, a low - class pariah who could be ridiculed by everyone in Qinghe City, he suddenly had a magnificent transformation and reached the fourth level of the Lingdong Realm. This was not just a genius. It took Xiao Rufeng more than two years to break through to the fourth level of the Lingdong Realm, but he only used less than three months. If he continued to develop like this, it would be more and more difficult to get rid of him. There was a drastic change in Zhou Xiangtian's eyes. Now what he hoped to see was that Xiao Rufeng would end Zhou Peng's life with one sword... "Sure enough, he is amazing. He can defeat Yang Shen at the Lingdong Realm with one punch." There was also a shocked expression on Zhao Wudi's face, but he was really thinking in his heart, "Unexpectedly, such a monstrous genius has emerged in the Zhou family!" "Dad, it was him who beat me last time." Zhao Jiannan was very unhappy, and there was a deep hatred in his eyes when looking at Zhou Peng... "Master, don't worry. If I meet him, I will never spare him." Zhao Yi said coldly on one side. Zhao Wudi snorted and said, "You are not his opponent. Zhao Kong, you will surely meet him. At that time, don't be soft - hearted. Kill him..." A disciple behind Zhao Wudi emitted a red light in his eyes and showed a cold smile and said, "Yes!" Zhao Jiannan couldn't help but smile. If Zhao Kong made a move, then Zhou Peng would surely die. He had been hidden for five years, and his strength was extremely terrifying. Zhao Kong was a disciple personally trained by Zhao Wudi in order to get rid of the genius disciples of other families. This year, he originally wanted to get rid of Xiao Rufeng, but now he wanted to kill Zhou Peng more. The repeated provocations of the Zhou family these days were all because of Zhou Peng. It was necessary to kill him to give the Zhou family some warnings. Let the people in Qinghe City know that the Zhao family was the first family. Zhou Peng sat in his position and quietly waited for the arrival of the next competition. After half a month of hard training, he not only broke through to the fourth level of the Lingdong Realm, but also realized a lot of things during the confrontation. And this competition was the time to test these things. Those people on the stage were just his stepping stones!
