After the golden-armored man finished his explanation, he took out two wooden boxes that he had prepared beforehand.
One was placed in front of Pan Wang.
The other was placed in front of Jiang Zhengyi.
It was squarish and had a round opening on it, just big enough for a hand to fit in.
The golden-armored man said, "There are fourteen bamboo sticks in the wooden box, each with a name written on it. Whoever gets picked will go on stage."
"Wait, I want to check if you guys are cheating."
Jia Hei stood up, picked up the wooden box, poured out all the bamboo sticks, and checked them one by one.
"Is there Brother Wolf's name?"
Wolf King asked anxiously.
Jia Hei glanced at it coldly, put away the bamboo sticks without a word, and poured out the bamboo sticks from the wooden box in front of Pan Wang.
There were twenty-eight bamboo sticks in the two wooden boxes. Whether it was thickness, length, or width, they were all exactly the same. The names were also printed on them.
If one didn't look with their eyes, they wouldn't be able to feel what was written on them.
It was impossible to cheat.
Old Ancestor Lin returned to his seat and shook his head at Jiang Zhengyi.
The golden-armored man said, "Since there are no problems, let's start the drawing!"
"I'll shake it first, in case they say I'm cheating again."
Pan Wang sneered at Old Ancestor Lin, shook the wooden box hard, and said, "I don't need to grab it with my hands. This way, no one will say I'm cheating!"
Jia Hei raised his eyebrows.
This person was really narrow-minded.
Pan Wang stretched out his index finger, and a wisp of Battle Qi flew into the wooden box, and a bamboo stick flew out.
Catching the bamboo stick and seeing the name on it, Pan Wang's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he said loudly, "Cheng Ming!"
Before he finished speaking.
The most arrogant purple-clothed young man stepped out and landed in the middle of the high platform.
A trace of regret crawled up his face, and he looked at Qin Feiyang and the others, shook his head and sighed, "I didn't expect to be the first to go, it's really your misfortune."
The eldest prince and the others clenched their hands, and their eyes were frighteningly gloomy.
As for Qin Feiyang, he had a faint smile on his face. He had a carefree appearance, as if he didn't care about it at all.
Jiang Zhengyi also used Battle Qi to take out a bamboo stick.
"It must be Brother Wolf."
Wolf King stared fixedly at the bamboo stick, his eyes glittering.
Cheng Ming was too arrogant.
It wanted to personally send this person to hell.
"Xie Fang!"
Jiang Zhengyi shouted out a name.
Wolf King looked at Xie Fang with displeasure and said disdainfully, "Don't get in the way of Brother Wolf. You are no match for him. If you don't want to die, admit defeat."
The First Prince and his men all glared at it.
Jia Hei and Old Ancestor Lin's expressions were ugly.
What did this bastard mean?
They hadn't even started, and he had already said such discouraging words. Was he a spy sent by Pan Jun?
Xie Fang stood beside the First Prince and glared at Wolf King angrily.
This bastard, why is he asking for a beating?
Once the competition was over, he would slowly settle the score!
The eldest prince patted Xie Fang's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Ignore him and focus on the competition. You must win!"
The first battle was very important.
If they lost, their morale would definitely be affected, and they would probably face a situation of complete defeat.
"Don't worry."
Xie Fang smiled confidently and strode to Cheng Ming. He cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me!"
Cheng Ming said lightly, "Don't be long-winded. Bring it on!"
Xie Fang was considered one of the best of the younger generation in Yan County. Other than when he fought with Qin Feiyang and the others, when had he ever been looked down upon like this?
Immediately.
A raging fire burned in his heart.
Boom!
His aura exploded as he threw a punch.
It was the Overlord Fist!
He wanted to prove himself and shut Wolf King up. He wanted to embarrass the people of Pan Jun, so he used all his strength!
"Two-star Martial Grandmaster?"
Qin Feiyang was surprised.
He remembered that Xie Fang was only a nine-star Martial Grandmaster the last time they fought.
Luo Qingzhu said in a low voice, "Before coming to Pan Jun, he had taken a top-grade Red Fire Glaze Elixir."
Qin Feiyang said, "So Wang Xia and Xue Yang have also taken it?"
"For such an important competition, they naturally have to participate in their best condition. However, the people of Pan Jun don't seem to care."
Luo Qingzhu glanced at Cheng Ming and the others with a trace of worry in her eyes.
Because when they saw Xie Fang's aura, Cheng Ming and the others did not look nervous at all. Instead, they looked mocking.
This meant that the other party was very confident!
At this moment!
Cheng Ming stretched out his hand and raised a finger. He said lightly, "I'll finish you in one move."
"Arrogant!"
"I'd like to see who will finish who in one move!"
Xie Fang was furious.
After taking a top-grade Red Fire Glaze Elixir, he was already a two-star Martial Grandmaster.
Coupled with the Overlord Fist, his aura was shocking and could intimidate the other party mentally.
Even if Cheng Ming was also a two-star Martial Grandmaster, he was confident in fighting!
Boom!
Cheng Ming also released his aura. He was a three-star Martial Grandmaster!
Following closely.
He slapped out with his palm, setting off a gust of wind that whistled loudly!
It was also a perfect martial arts technique!
Xie Fang's expression changed immediately.
The fist and the palm collided at lightning speed.
"Ah!"
Xie Fang screamed and was sent flying on the spot. He spat out blood.
He flew dozens of meters away and landed heavily on the ground. With a loud bang, a large crater was created.
"How could this be?"
Xie Fang was dumbfounded.
His opponent was a three-star Martial Grandmaster!
He could not feel the pain. His heart was filled with shame.
He had promised the First Prince not to worry, but in the end, he was defeated by his opponent in one move.
No matter how thick-skinned he was, he could not take such a blow.
Whoosh!
Cheng Ming strode toward the pit with a cruel smile on his face.
"He's coming. Quickly admit defeat or you'll lose your life."
Wolf King reminded Xie Fang in a friendly manner.
But this friendliness only added to Xie Fang's shame.
"So what if you're a three-star Martial Grandmaster?"
"Since I'm going to risk my life, I'll win this competition!"
Xie Fang roared.
He pushed himself up from the ground and jumped out of the pit.
His eyes were fixed on Cheng Ming. He used a mysterious footwork and rushed over without hesitation.
This footwork was the auxiliary martial arts technique that the First Prince had given him.
Although it was only at the Intermediate Grade, its speed was 10% faster than Cheng Ming's due to the twofold increase.
But seeing Xie Fang's speed, Cheng Ming was still disdainful.
"Go to hell!"
Xie Fang went behind Cheng Ming. Without saying a word, his true energy surged and he punched Cheng Ming's head!
"It's useless to have speed without actual combat experience."
Cheng Ming smiled disdainfully and lowered his head to avoid the punch.
Immediately.
He turned around and threw out a palm.
Xie Fang could not dodge in time and was hit in the stomach.
With a cry, blood spurted out.
His entire body flew out like a meteor!
"This is the difference between a pampered person and a person who has been through life and death situations."
Qin Feiyang muttered.
If his battle awareness was strong enough and he was experienced enough, it would not be difficult to win against Cheng Ming with an auxiliary martial arts technique, even if it was a Medium Grade one.
But unfortunately.
To Xie Fang, this was a dream that could never be realized.
Wolf King turned to look at Jia Hei and laughed. "Old man, if you don't ask him to admit defeat, prepare to collect his corpse!"
"Qin Feiyang, can you shut it up!"
Jia Hei's veins were bulging.
His heart was already very irritated, but this ignorant beast deliberately chose this time to provoke him.
Qin Feiyang said lightly, "Although the White-eyed Wolf's words are unpleasant, what he said is indeed the truth."
"That's right, that's right. Why don't old men like to hear the truth? Brother Wolf feels so hurt! "
Wolf King said bitterly.
Smack!
Jia Hei slapped the armrest angrily and looked at Xie Fang who was lying on the ground, moaning weakly. He shouted, "Useless trash, admit defeat!"
"Admit defeat?"
Xie Fang's body and mind trembled, his face full of unwillingness.
If he were to admit defeat, not only would the County of Yan lose face, but he would also never be able to hold his head high again.
Especially that beast, it would look down on him even more.
But if he did not admit defeat, only death would await him.
"I admit defeat!"
Between life and dignity, he chose life and dignity in the end.
"Haha …"
Pan Wang laughed.
Xia Qianqian also laughed mockingly.
The white-haired old man and the other two were also smiling.
The other thirteen contestants and the crowd below the stage did not hide the mockery on their faces.
Those from the County of Pan, including Jiang Zhengyi, looked livid.
"Is this the prodigy of the County of Yan?"
"How disappointing."
"If it were me, I would not let him fight. Embarrassing."
Cheng Ming shook his head in disappointment and turned to the thirteen contestants with a smile. "I'm afraid you won't have a chance to fight."
"It can't be helped. The County of Yan is so useless."
The thirteen contestants looked regretful.
Seeing that they were echoing each other, the eldest prince and the others were furious. They clenched their fists so hard that their knuckles cracked.
Xie Fang clutched his abdomen and limped toward Jiang Zhengyi.
But when he passed by Cheng Ming, Cheng Ming stretched out his leg and hooked Xie Fang, causing him to fall flat on his face.
Cheng Ming hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. But you fell with a light hook. Isn't that too bad? Come, I'll pull you up. "
He smiled and extended his hand.
"Bastard!"
The eyes of the eldest prince and the others, as well as Xie Fang, turned red.
He had already admitted defeat, but he still humiliated him like this. This was too much!
Qin Feiyang narrowed his eyes. There was a playful look in his eyes.
Pan Wang was overjoyed.
The resentment that had been bottled up in his heart during this period of time finally found a way to vent out.
He glanced at Qin Feiyang from the corner of his eye and sneered. "Just you wait, you little beast. It'll be your turn soon."
"Get lost!"
Xie Fang roared furiously and slapped Cheng Ming's arm away.
He got up in a sorry state.
Holding back the humiliation and indignation, he walked to Jiang Zhengyi and the others.
He did not dare to look at them. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry. I'm useless!"
Jiang Zhengyi smiled. "He's a three-star Martial Grandmaster and you're a two-star Martial Grandmaster. It's normal for you to lose to him. Don't be discouraged. You've already done well."
"Done well?"
Xie Fang laughed at himself.
If that was true, he was really hopeless.
Jiang Zhengyi was obviously just comforting them.
He returned to the back of the trio and said in a low voice, "Ruffian Wolf, laugh if you want to. Don't hold it in until you get internal injuries."
"Tsk!"
The Wolf King disdainfully ran up to Jiang Zhengyi and stared at the wooden box, mumbling to himself.
