In the face of the swordsman's tide-like attacks, the swordsman, who was already exhausted, could not help but panic.
The swordsman was busy defending. Because of his exhaustion, his movements were not precise. With a swoosh, the swordsman's pupils shrank. He glanced at the corner of his clothes and found that the swordsman's sword had cut a hole in it.
"He's going to lose!"
"The swordsman is going to win! Look at the swordsman's panicked movements. He's obviously going to lose! "
"Alas! What a pity! I thought that the sixteenth young master He Yuanzhang's men could shine and get a good result in the City Lord Competition. It seems that he is just so-so. "
Tang Ao looked at the excited faces of the people around him. His task this time was to support a son who was close to the Seven Kills Sect. Whether the sixteenth young master He Yuanzhang was defeated or not had nothing to do with him.
However, Tang Ao gradually understood what was going on in the Universe Ring of Water Bead City. The Universe Ring was a ring set up by the City Governor He Fengyuan to recruit his subordinates. Now, it was a stage for the heirs to compete for the trade routes.
As for what this' trade route 'was all about, Tang Ao was also confused. Immediately, he asked Lei Liang who was the wind middleman beside him.
"Brother Lei, if He Lin, the seventeenth son of He Fengyuan, wins the first place in the Universe Ring, how will the 'business route' be distributed?" Tang Ao asked.
Lei Liang was stunned for a moment. Then he thought for a moment and said, "If He Lin wins the first place in the Universe Ring, he can choose the most prosperous business route. This is a trade route that leads to the Central Region. The Central Region is the most prosperous and fertile region in the Black Yellow Continent, where heroes from all over the world gather. Waterdrop City has been operating for many years and has already opened up a trade route here. If we can get this trade route, the position of the City Lord will be in the bag. "
"However, He Lin is the son of a servant girl. He is the most classic concubine's son. Moreover, he has the weakest background among all the concubine's sons. How can he win the City Lord's position?"
Tang Ao sneered and thought, "If I let He Lin win the City Lord's position, he will definitely win the City Lord's position!"
On the ring, the sabersman's momentum was getting weaker and weaker. He was gradually forced into a trap by the swordsman.
"I admit defeat!" The sabersman sighed helplessly and immediately admitted defeat.
The swordsman's originally resolute face immediately darkened as he admitted defeat. He had roamed the martial world for decades, but he had lost to a junior who was more than ten years younger than him. This in itself was a great blow to him. Moreover, he had failed to live up to the trust of Shiliu He Yuanzhang's mother.
"Haha, Old Sixteen, the winner has been decided. Hand over the token." When He Yuanze saw that his subordinate had won, his face was filled with pride. He stretched out his hand, looking as if he was begging for it.
He Yuanzhang's complexion was ashen. He reluctantly looked at the token in his hand. In the end, he clenched his teeth. After all, the winner takes all. He threw the token to He Yuanze.
He Yuanze casually reached out and took the token. He Yuanzhang sat down helplessly, his body limp and his face pale.
He Yuanzhang knew that the position of city lord was completely out of his reach. This old swordsman was the strongest elite sent by his mother's family, yet he could not even defeat He Yuanze's weakest subordinate. His heart was filled with unwillingness, but he could only grit his teeth and endure this unwillingness.
"Damn it! He Yuanze obtained another token!" The Ninth Young Master, He Yuanchao, had a gloomy expression on his face. The other young masters of the He clan all had ugly expressions on their faces. The tokens represented the right to choose the trade route. The more tokens one had, the more points one would have. Now that the Eldest Young Master, He Yuanze, had defeated the Sixteenth Young Master, He Yuanzhang, he now had an additional token in his hand. This made the other young masters envious.
Thirteenth Young Master He Yuanjun rolled his eyes and glanced at Seventeenth Young Master He Lin vaguely. His gaze was immediately replaced by greed. He Yuanjun couldn't hold back the greed in his heart and said,
"Seventeenth Young Master, now that everyone's subordinates have more or less competed, it's time for you to show off your subordinates, isn't it?"
He Yuanjun's words were filled with frivolity. He looked at He Lin with a fiery gaze and licked his lips pervertedly.
"Who is the one who spoke now?" Tang Ao asked Lei Guang, who was beside him, in a puzzled tone. He stared at the platform without blinking. After He Yuanjun said this, a weak young man on the platform lowered his head in fear and looked at He Yuanjun timidly.
That timid young man must be his target, He Lin. Tang Ao's heart immediately calmed down.
"This person is He Fengyuan's thirteenth son, his name is He Yuanjun. The force behind him is Heartless Clan, ranked 11th in the East Region. This person's personality is very dark and he has a penchant for men," Lei Liang said as he stared at He Yuanjun on the platform with disdain.
"The 'Seventeenth Young Master' he mentioned, is he that timid young man?" Tang Ao asked. At the same time, he took in the subtle relationship between the young masters on the platform.
"That's right, he is He Fengyuan's seventeenth son, He Lin," Lei Liang nodded.
Tang Ao squinted his eyes. He Lin on the platform looked gentle like a scholar. At that moment, under the coercion of the arrogant He Yuanjun, he looked like a young man who was bullied by his family.
After a moment of silence, He Lin finally spoke under everyone's gaze.
"I won't fight for the position of Master of City with you brothers. As long as I can live a comfortable life, I'll be satisfied," He Lin said weakly.
As soon as he said that, the other brothers nodded in satisfaction. He Lin's martial arts talent was average and he was born of a servant girl. His mother's side didn't have any background, so he wasn't competitive at all. To them, he wasn't a threat.
"Since you don't have any thoughts about the position of Master of City, why don't you give me the token in your hand and let me do you a favor?" He Yuanjun squinted his eyes and looked at He Lin as if he was a prey.
"I heard that the thirteenth son, He Yuanjun, has a penchant for men. Look at his perverted eyes. He doesn't even let his own brother go." Lei Liang shook his head. He was also confused about such things that normal people couldn't understand.
Tang Ao didn't answer Lei Liang. Instead, he focused on watching the changes on the platform.
As soon as He Yuanjun asked He Lin for the token, the other young masters around her immediately reacted, and their reactions were very intense.
"He Yuanjun, don't be shameless. You have the cheek to ask for the token. You are ignoring the rules of the Ring of Heaven and Earth!" The eleventh young master, He Yuanyi, was furious. He immediately jumped out and spoke for He Lin.
