The next day on the road leading to the town center
Where the VIP platform was prepared, and in front of it the battlefield was prepared
In the VIP area, the heads of the three families stood, and behind them were the sheikhs of their families
The road towards the place was decorated, with shops and houses decorated with lanterns and red banners
To add excitement, common people were allowed to enter the place
In front of the entrance leading to the battlefield, Zhang Yong stood next to Zhang Zi
Zhang Zi gently patted Zhang Yong's shoulder, "Yong, it doesn't matter what score you get, what's important is that you stay safe. Our family is already more than grateful to you."
Zhang Yong nodded calmly, "Don't worry, I won't exaggerate too much."
Zhang Yong calmly walked forward and entered the arena, where there were at least a thousand spectators, in addition to more than 40 people who had come for the test standing next to him.
Curious, Zhang Yong asked Yuni in his mind, 'Yunni, is there a chance that something could happen in this place?'
(I don't understand what you mean)
'I'm talking about the Children of Fortune, or rather the heroes of the novels, as you told me this world is located in the middle of the worlds and is a common area for many of them, so I'm wondering, supposedly killing the hero of the world would backfire on the killer, so...'
(You are thinking too much, each world has the right to choose one hero, until the chosen hero leaves the world, it is impossible for a person to change, even if this world is the result of a meeting of worlds, it will remain in itself an independent world and a common point at the same time, so there will be One hero, but because this is a shared world, people who are considered heroes in their worlds will still have the same opportunities in this world.)
Under the interpretation of the system this seemed logical, the simplest example was the Spirit Land, after Tang San ascended to the upper world, ten thousand years later a new hero was born, which meant that the world had been preparing and searching for all those ten thousand years just to find him.
As Zhang Yong walked, he leaned against the wall of the stands and quietly listened to what was being said and the rumors circulating
"That outcast son of the Jian family."
"I heard that evidence was found that his father was a traitor and his father was killed, and his mother was killed because she tried to protect him."
"It seems that the Jian family's trash came to take the test as well."
Zhang Yong slowly opened his eyes and noticed the eyes directed at a boy with long blue hair tied into a ponytail with firm and strong brown eyes.
From his strong stance, Zhang Yong immediately knew that he was one of the children of fortune, and Zhang Yong probably didn't need to go up at the moment.
Suddenly a voice rang out above the crowd. It was the leader of the Zhang Family, "Now the Families Competition is announced."
This wasn't really a family competition, but rather each martial arts family would send one of their own as their representative and engage in combat. As long as that representative won the competition, he would be accepted as an external disciple into the Purple Star Sect.
The fight was not difficult, just for the person to get into the ring and fight whoever jumps after him, and he must fight until there is no one left who wants to fight him, only then will he win.
Zhang Yong began to make his own predictions. 'In this situation there are two situations, the first one who goes up will be the real loser, and secondly, as long as someone strong goes up, no one will want to go up after him and it will be considered his victory, but' A small smile appeared on Zhang Yong's face as he lookedTo the so-called outcast of the Jian Family, 'If what I think is true, it would be better for me to go up after him.'
While everyone was thinking the same thing, a tall young man jumped over the ring. He had short black hair, standing straight up wearing a black collarless and sleeveless shirt that revealed his neck and a little of his chest with cloth pants and a yellow belt tied around his waist. He had a large and thick body, all the muscles on his body were bright white in color, he was approximately two meters tall or less
Immediately from what Zhang Yong noticed, everyone's faces turned pale, as if they had seen a ghost
"No way, we're done, this Zang Hao has reached the rank of Grand Master and is now nineteen years old."
"I heard rumors that he wrestled a brown storm bear with his bare hands."
Overall, it seemed that this Zang Hao was rather famous in the town
At the VIP platform, the Zang Family Head laughed lightly, "Hehehe, it looks like my Zang Family will win this competition again."
Jian Bi snorted softly, "Hmph, this isn't over yet, don't jump to conclusions."
Another young man jumped onto the ring. He was slightly smaller than Zhang Hao in size, with short, crimson red hair and calm black eyes, but his body was well trained. "This Jian Yang is asking Brother Zang for advice."
This fight immediately attracted everyone's eyes. Jian Yang was called Blood Storm, while the other was called Brutal Bear. The two of them were called the strongest geniuses in their families, thus this fight attracted everyone.
There was no referee, so the two could fight whenever they wanted
The two immediately rushed towards each other and started exchanging punches, but there was something strange, it seemed that Jian had restrained himself, with his blood red robe a small short sword was hung on it.
Immediately Zang Hao's palm was covered in a dense red aura
Jian Yang immediately crossed his arms in defense, as soon as he was hit by the palm, he was pushed back five meters, "I did not expect Brother Zang to use the Mountain Shattering Palm!"
A fake smile appeared on Zang Hao's face, "You've got to be kidding, Brother Jian, you didn't use the Jian Family's Sword, so why don't we settle the matter, instead of wasting time there are still people who will fight."
A wide smile appeared on Jian's face, "I was thinking the same thing, let's get it over with at once."
As the two faced each other, the crowd was filled with excitement
"Finally," Zhang Yong said, "It was boring, compared to the fights of the Doulo world, these fights are weak." Zhang Yong finally watched with great interest.
Jian Yang held the short sword in his hand and instantly the air around him completely changed
A stormy aura began to surround the sword. Jian Yan leaned forward and held the sword tightly, "Get ready, Brother Zhang. I won't back down."
Zang Hao clasped his hands and his body was strengthened closer to the mountain rocks, "Come to me."
Jian Family Technique - Extreme Sword Edge
Zang Family Technique - Mountain Breaker
The two disappeared for a moment and quickly met in the middle, and the wind flew from all directions. In the midst of that storm, a silhouette emerged that stuck to the wall and made a hole in it.
That was Jian Yang
On the VIP platform, the leader of the Zang family couldn't help but laugh gloatingly, "Ah, excuse me, Brother Jian, what were you saying a moment ago, sorry the wind was too high, Teehehehe."
The Huan Family Leader couldn't help but laugh derisively on the side as well
While the Jian Family Leader's face was red with anger and veins appeared on his face
The Zang Family Leader turned to the side and asked, "Master messenger , what do you think of Hao'er?"
The messenger placed a hand under his chin and began to think with a smile before speaking, "He has a good solid foundation, but it is still too early to say, after all the competition is not over yet."
Back in the ring, Zang Hao stood alone as blood came out from his left arm, "Come on! Who's next?"
With that majestic view no one dared to go up, except for one fool. "Me!"
The blue-haired young man jumped and landed gracefully on the stage. He was wearing a brown leather jacket, a white shirt, black pants, and brown shoes. Even though he was an outcast from his family, he had a strong and confident aura
Zang Hao looked at him in surprise for a moment before smiling. "Oh, the trash of the Jian family, Jian Yi, you are so bold, okay I will gladly end your life."
However, the boy disappeared for a moment, and with a single punch, Zang Hao's massive body flew through the air and slammed into the wall.
The stands were in complete chaos, everyone was surprised as they looked towards Jian Yi, finding it hard to believe. This included the people in the VIP stand.
Immediately using his mental power, the leader of the Jian Family posted a mental message to all the participants, 'Whoever kills Jian Yi will obtain a thousand spirit stones.'
As soon as the news spread, even though many people were excited, no one moved forward, they couldn't even defeat Zang Hao, so how could they defeat Jian Yi?
"Hehehe." Zhang Yong laughed softly, "This is what I was waiting for, it can be said that he has insulted the Zang Family and the Jian Family, but I want a slightly higher percentage than what they offered, I will take advantage of this boy."
Zhang Yong jumped over the ring and bowed slightly, "I am Zhang Yong, the representative of the Zhang family."
Upon hearing the name, the Jian Clan Master's eyes widened, after what his envoy had told him about what happened yesterday, Zhang Yong's description matched what he had told him.
Zang Lian turned for a moment towards the heads of the other two families, "Have you heard about this boy before."
Huan Di looked at him as their gazes met, "I've never heard of him before, what about you, Jian Bi?"
Jian Bi nodded, "I heard about him, apparently he was rescued by the Zhang family."
Zang Lian placed a hand under his chin, "It's supposed to prevent interference from individuals other than family members, but this isn't really written in the laws."
Jian Bi shrugged his shoulders, "Does it matter, as long as he gets rid of Jian Yi, there is no problem."
Immediately in the stands, a spectator shouted, "This is against the rules! This kid is not even from a family here and yet he is participating in the competition. Did the Zhang family hire him as a mercenary!"
Immediately, the boos began to rain down on him like endless rain. Zhang Yong stood up calmly and began to laugh hard
His loud, sharp laugh cut through the crowd's chatter like a hot knife through butter. The noise quickly faded away as all eyes turned to look towards Zhang Yong, his laugh was full of sarcasm
"So what, what if I am hired, let me ask you what is the purpose of this competition? It is a test of the families' strength, if I fight and win and are truly hired, it only proves the Zhang family's financial strength."
The boos died down and an uneasy silence fell over the crowd
The entire crowd fell silent due to a few words from Zhang Yong, a small smile appeared on the envoy's face, "This kid has a sharp tongue, let's see if his strength is as great as his mouth."
Zhang Yong, who was the reason for the silence, was the one who broke it, "Now let's get this over with."
The two rushed towards each other and their fists met face to face, filling the place with dust
Jian Yi showed a shocked expression while Zhang Yong was still smiling
Zhang Yong's second hand shot out in the form of a punch towards Jian Yi's face, but the latter changed the direction of his head and grabbed Zhang Yong's arm and wanted to throw him away, but
" heavy!"
At the same time, Zhang Yong's right leg shot out and hit Jian Yi's ribs, sending him sideways five meters
While he was still holding his ribs, Zhang Yong had appeared in front of him again, "You still have a thousand years to stand up to me."
With a single punch, Zhang Yong's fist was imprinted into Jian Yi's chest
But Zhang Yong truly underestimated Jian Yi's stamina, as the latter only retreated ten meters
A purple aura surrounding him with overwhelming force began to wrap around his body
Zhang Yong softly dug his ear, "As expected, he wouldn't be a lucky son if he didn't have a secret or two."
Jian Yi raised his sword-like hand towards the sky and was enveloped in a purple aura, forming an energy blade
This blade began to grow rapidly in the air until it became three meters in size
Jian Yi swung his arm and sliced the blade vertically towards Zhang Yong
The ground of the arena exploded as soon as it was struck by that huge blade, leaving a crack in the ground
But there was no one there, no blood, no body, no anything
"Unfortunately, you must end." Zhang Yong stood behind Jian Yi and immediately swung his fist towards his face. Zhang Yong immediately put all his strength into that punch and sent him flying out of the ring. Zhang Yong approached him, and when he got close enough, he heard a voice in his mind. Kill him and you will get a thousand soul stones.'
Zhang Yong immediately smiled, and quickly moved his arm. What others thought would end Jian Yi's life, he didn't, but turned around. "I don't want to."
Zhang Yong returned to the center of the ring and shouted, "Come on! Who wants to fight me?"
However, the place was silent, and no one dared to come forward. A laugh from afar unexpectedly broke the calm. The advisor was laughing, "Good, it seems that no one dares to fight you, so let's consider the outcome settled. I welcome you to the Purple Star Sect." "The advisor threw something that flew in the air, Zhang Yong caught it in the air, and that was a badge that would allow him to pass the exam and join as an external disciple of the sect."
Within Zhang Yong's Spiritual Sea, Ling Xi couldn't contain her excitement, "Great, though, since he didn't kill that kid as he was able to rise from the beginning and take down everyone, he was no longer the same after mastering the technique I gave him."
The Empress began to think a little, "I don't know, before he was stubborn not to kill, but I feel something has changed."
Murasama scratched his face in confusion, "Actually, I was the one who was making him want to kill to feed me back then."
Ling Xi couldn't help but snort, "What?! Fortunately, I'm here and I discovered your presence. It seems that this so-called Empress is just a decorative title."
The Empress looked at Ling Xi angrily, "What did you say, you tramp?"
"Just as you heard, you old hag," Ling Xi replied.
Truly, only Ling Xi was able to call the Empress a hag and survive
Yami immediately intervened, "You two, calm down. In fact, Naoto is thinking carefully about what he is doing. Think about it. When he goes up there and fights everyone, he will insult the reputation of the families. He may be leaving soon if he wins. But what about the Zhang family? They are the ones who will be in danger, but if he allows someone... He is considered an enemy of families by defeating strong opponents, then he rises and defeats him. He will kill two birds with one stone. No harm will befall the Zhang family. They may even treat him as a savior. He will also terrorize everyone and they will not dare to fight him. As for not killing that boy, now he is seeking gain. Akbar, he kept him alive so he could make money from him."
Ling Xi showed a blank expression, "So, I guess that makes sense, just the thousand stones that those old men were going to give him wouldn't be enough for him, and waiting for him to go up...he knew what would happen, how could this?"
Yami smiled softly, "Well I guess I'd better show you."

After the tournament ended, Zhang Yong withdrew from the ring. Just as the fights were over, Jian Yi had immediately disappeared from the scene
