The Black Tortoise Kingdom was founded on martial arts. There was a huge arena in the palace, which was usually used for people to practice martial arts.
When Qin Haodong and his companions arrived, there were already thousands of people gathered here. There were palace guards, nobles, and ministers of the kingdom who were ready for battle.
A stand was set up directly opposite the arena. Zhao Xianlong and Wu Yueniang sat side by side on it, and a chair was added next to them. It was Sun Chengcheng, the national teacher.
Under the arena, a young man with an arrogant expression was already standing there. He was Chen Ruyi, who was going to compete with Qin Haodong today.
This guy's father was Chen Xuanling, the minister of the Ministry of War of the Black Tortoise Kingdom. He held great power, and he was Zhangsun Chengcheng's best friend, so no one dared to provoke him in the entire Black Tortoise Kingdom. He had developed an arrogant and domineering character.
He had been specially instructed by his father, Chen Xuanling and Zhangsun Chengcheng, to not only win, but also kill Qin Haodong to get rid of future troubles.
Chen Ruyi was very confident about this. Although this guy was used to bullying people, his cultivation was solid. He was known as a peerless genius of the Chen family in a thousand years.
When he heard that Qin Haodong's cultivation was only at the Peak of the Void Training Realm, he was even more dismissive.
He had learned the Eight-armed Dragon Fist from his master since he was a child. Now he had reached the Basic level and was known as the Eight-armed Little Dragon. It could be said that he was invincible among the younger generation of the royal family.
In his opinion, an opponent who was one level lower than him could be crushed to death with a casual move of his fingers.
Looking at the setting sun that was about to disappear, Zhangsun Chengdu said, "Your Majesty, it's almost time. Qin Haodong hasn't shown up yet. It seems that he doesn't take this contest seriously."
Wu Yueniang said very cooperatively, "Yes, it's a contest for marriage and the competition for the son-in-law of our Black Tortoise Kingdom. It's such a big event. How can he be late? He's looking down on the Black Tortoise Royal Family."
Zhao Xianlong said indifferently, "It's nothing. After all, it's not time yet."
Wu Yueniang said, "But you can also see his attitude. You see, Chen Ruyi has come here early. This is his respect for the Black Tortoise Royal Family."
While she was talking, she suddenly saw Qin Haodong, Zhao Xingyue, and the others coming in from outside.
Seeing that they had arrived, Zhao Xianlong said to Si Baokun, the Minister of Internal Affairs, who was beside him, "Go and get ready. The competition is about to begin."
Si Baokun nodded and took Qin Haodong to the ring. Chen Ruyi jumped up and glanced at Qin Haodong contemptuously. "Boy, you finally dare to come? Did he go to prepare for his funeral? "
Qin Haodong nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to prepare for your funeral. I'll prepare more paper money for you so that you won't come to me after you die."
"You …" Chen Ruyi was so angry that his face turned red. "Brat, there's no need to argue. Just watch how I kill you later."
At this time, Zhangsun Cheng stood up on the stage and announced the rules of today's martial arts competition.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day of our Black Tortoise Kingdom's Princess Xingyue's Prince Consort. Between Chen Ruyi and Qin Haodong, these two outstanding youths, whoever emerges victorious will become our Black Tortoise Kingdom's Prince Consort.
Before the competition, I will announce two rules. First, you are not allowed to use any weapons other than your own cultivation base, and you are not allowed to summon any magical beasts to assist you in battle. Second, our Black Tortoise Kingdom was founded on martial arts. Fists and feet have no eyes, so this competition will be held to the death. "
After these two rules were announced, the crowd below the stage burst into an uproar.
"Not allowing the use of weapons in a martial arts competition, this has never been seen before. Why is there such a rule all of a sudden?"
"Magical beasts are a part of one's cultivation base, why are they not allowed to use them?"
"In the past, the martial arts competition would stop at a certain point and determine the winner. Why is there suddenly a rule of life and death? It looks like something big is going to happen …"
Zhao Xingyue came in and sat next to Zhao Xianlong. She nervously grabbed her father's arm and whispered, "Father, shouldn't we stop at a certain point?"
Zhao Xianlong patted her hand and comforted her, "Don't panic, believe in Qin Haodong."
Although the father and daughter spoke in low voices, Zhangsun Cheng was standing next to them and his cultivation base was extraordinary. Naturally, he could hear their conversation clearly.
A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. They had made sufficient preparations for today's competition. First, they restricted Qin Haodong's Three-legged Golden Toad, and then they prepared a Great Yuan Burst Pill for Chen Ruyi just in case.
At this moment, in his eyes, Qin Haodong was already a dead man.
After the preparations were ready, Si Baokun, who was the referee on the stage, shouted, "The competition begins!"
Chen Ruyi had been waiting for a long time. When he heard the word 'begin', he immediately punched out.
His fist technique was called the Eight-armed Dragon God Fist. When practiced to the extreme, each punch was equivalent to having eight arms.
Although it was only at the initial stage, each punch was as many as six arms. The fist shadows looked like mountains, and the momentum was terrifying.
"Young Master Chen is so powerful, worthy of being the number one among the younger generation in Royal City …"
"As expected of the Eight-armed Dragon God Fist, even I can't take this kind of fist technique …"
"Where did this kid on the stage come from? How dare he compete with Young Master Chen. Isn't he courting death? "
Everyone who was watching the battle was overwhelmingly optimistic about Chen Ruyi.
In the face of the mountain-like fist shadows, Qin Haodong didn't care at all. No matter how many fists there were, they were just illusions. There was only one real one.
With the strength of his spirit, it was easy for him to distinguish which was real and which was fake. With a slight movement of his feet, he dodged the attack.
Chen Ruyi was slightly stunned and somewhat surprised. Then, he punched out again, and the sky was filled with fist shadows that drowned Qin Haodong's figure.
From the outside, it seemed that he had an absolute advantage, but he was extremely depressed. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even touch the corner of his opponent's clothes.
Zhao Xianlong's slightly furrowed brows relaxed. As an expert at the peak of the Form Synthesis Stage, he naturally knew that although Qin Haodong was at a disadvantage on the battlefield, he actually had an absolute advantage in terms of strength.
Zhangsun Cheng's expression didn't change much. Although he could also see that Qin Haodong's strength was not weaker than Chen Ruyi at the early stage of the Form Synthesis Stage, and even a little stronger than him, it was only limited to the early stage of the Form Synthesis Stage.
As long as Chen Ruyi swallowed the Explosive Yuan Pill, his cultivation would instantly be promoted to the peak of the Form Synthesis Stage. At that time, he could completely rely on his cultivation to have a crushing advantage.
Chen Ruyi, who was on the stage, became more and more anxious after failing to attack for a long time. He shouted angrily, "What's the use of always dodging? If you are a man, don't dodge."
Qin Haodong had almost seen his fist technique. He said coldly, "As you wish!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and punched Chen Ruyi's fist shadows.
With a muffled bang, the fist shadows all over the sky disappeared, and the fists of the two men collided.
Everyone present was amazed. How did this young man find Chen Ruyi's fist in the sky full of fist shadows?
But what happened next shocked them even more. After the two of them collided with each other, Qin Haodong stood still, while Chen Ruyi flew backward for more than ten meters like a sandbag that had been hit.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and touched the guardrail of the ring with his feet, he would have been knocked out of the ring.
"What's going on? How did the situation turn around in an instant? Chen Ruyi had an absolute advantage just now, but now he was knocked out by a punch … "
"Who the hell is this kid? He looks younger than Chen Ruyi, but why is his cultivation not weaker at all? "
"No wonder he dares to participate in the marriage competition. He is indeed very capable!"
In the midst of many discussions, Chen Ruyi's face became extremely ugly. Of course, this was not the result he wanted.
"Boy, go to hell!"
In his opinion, Qin Haodong just got lucky and found his fist by a fluke.
So he performed the Eight-armed Dragon Fist again and pounced forward crazily.
But the result was still the same. Qin Haodong still found his fist effortlessly in the fist shadows and sent him flying with another punch.
"I …"
Chen Ruyi stood on the ring and his internal organs were greatly shaken. Coupled with the grievance in his heart, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this time, a subtle voice sounded in his ear, "You are no match for him even if you fight head-on. Take the Great Yuan Explosion Pill directly."
The voice transmission was naturally from Zhangsun Cheng on the stage. He had already seen the situation on the stage clearly.
If he continued to fight head-on, Chen Ruyi might be punched out of the ring. At that time, it would be too late for him to take the Yuan Explosion Pill, so he sent a voice transmission to remind him.
Qin Haodong said with a smile, "How about it? Do you still want to fight?"
"Boy, you forced me to do this!"
After Chen Ruyi said that, he raised his hand and swallowed a black pill. Then, the aura of his body began to rise suddenly. Middle-stage of Body Integration, Late-stage of Body Integration, and there was no sign of it stopping. It seemed that he would soon reach the Great Perfection of Body Integration.
"What kind of pill is this? How did it improve his cultivation so much? "
"This is the Great Yuan Explosion Pill. Ordinary Yuan Explosion Pills can't achieve this effect."
"Young Master Chen is about to reach the Great Perfection of Body Integration. This kid is completely finished …"
Zhao Xingyue's expression changed drastically and she shouted, "Father, he actually took the pill to improve his cultivation. This is against the rules."
Before Zhao Xianlong could speak, Zhangsun Cheng, who was at the side, said indifferently, "Your Highness, that's not right. The rules of the competition that we announced earlier didn't prohibit the use of pills. If that kid has the ability, he can also use pills!"
"You … You're being unreasonable …"
Zhao Xingyue was so angry that her face turned red. Wu Yueniang and Zhangsun Cheng had first used the rules to restrict the Three-legged Golden Toad, and then let Chen Ruyi take the Great Yuan Explosion Pill. It was obvious that they were protecting Chen Ruyi and cheating openly!
Wu Yueniang said, "Why is it unreasonable? The rules didn't prohibit the use of pills. "
"Taking pills? I have some too. "
After Qin Haodong said that, he also took out a Great Yuan Explosion Pill and swallowed it.
The Great Yuan Explosion Pill was the top of the sixth-grade pills. It was extremely difficult to refine. Even an eighth-grade alchemist would find it difficult to refine high-quality pills.
He had just seen that the Great Yuan Explosion Pill that Chen Ruyi had eaten did not even have elixir patterns. This level of pill could at most raise his cultivation to the Great Perfection of Body Integration.
The Great Yuan Explosion Pill that he had refined was of extremely high quality. It had three elixir patterns and could directly raise his cultivation from the Great Perfection of Void Training to the Great Perfection of Body Integration.
However, he had just taken a Small Yuan Explosion Pill. If he took another Great Yuan Explosion Pill, although the effect would not be affected, the period of weakness would be longer.
Chen Ruyi's eyes widened when he felt the sudden increase in Qin Haodong's aura.
He originally thought that he could crush Qin Haodong after eating the Great Yuan Explosion Pill. He did not expect that Qin Haodong's aura would improve faster than his and reach the Great Perfection of Void Training first.
Zhangsun Cheng's expression changed drastically when he felt Qin Haodong's rapid improvement. "What kind of pill did this kid take? How could his cultivation improve so fast? "
