As everyone returned to the city, the news of Du Laoliu defeating Tu Yu with his Four-way Heaven strength, as well as the duel between Ren Baqian and Tu Hong, spread to the ears of the officials in Lan City.
Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, it set off a ripple.
A Four-way Heaven defeating a Kismet Heaven was something that had not happened in many years. It was already shocking enough.
A match between a Four-way Heaven expert and a Cardinal Heaven expert had never happened before.
No matter how one looked at it, there was no comparison between the two.
A Cardinal Heaven martialist could kill a bunch of Four-way Heaven ordinary people with a flick of his finger, let alone in a competition.
Even the winged cavalry warriors and the people from the Ministry of Works, who had dealt with him many times, felt that this news wasn't real. This was too fake. When did he become so arrogant?
Even if they were only competing in speed.
If it was a competition of mathematics or something else, everyone believed that Baqian would win.
In terms of speed and strength, even a hundred Ren Baqians couldn't compare to one hand of a Cardinal Heaven expert.
At this time, the people who believed in him the most were the students in the academy. After all, he had learned a lot in the academy and knew that he had all kinds of strange things. As a result, he trusted him very much.
This was because he represented their future!
"Do you think Yagui can win?" After school, many students were discussing in the school.
"Even Du Laoliu won. Yagui shouldn't lose, right?"
"But that's a Cardinal Heaven expert!"
"Yagui has more thoughts than anyone else. Since he dares to bet, he definitely won't lose."
"I thought so too, but I heard them talking about Yagui the past two days. None of them are optimistic about him …"
"Who cares about them? Even we don't know what Yagui is capable of, let alone them. What can they know? "
"If Yagui wins, it will definitely be beyond their expectations. I can't wait to see their expressions."
"Someone started a bet. Yagui will win, 1 to 10. I've bet all my assets on this."
"Who organized it?"
"Hong Xian, White Tiger, Liu Ruoyao and the rest."
"Heh, those fellows aren't the same as us. I'd like to see them lose all their pants. I still have twenty-two taels of silver. I'll give it to you when I get back. Help me put it all in. "
…
Three days passed in a flash.
At the same time on the fourth day, Ren Baqian and the empress arrived at the same place that they were at three days ago.
Although there were quite a few people watching the competition three days ago, they were sparse in such a large venue.
This time, it could be said that all the officials in Lan City who had nothing to do were here. They were all officials and their family members.
Everyone wanted to see how Ren Baqian dared to compete with Tu Hong, who was a Cardinal Heaven expert.
One had to know that Tu Yu's defeat had caused him to lose face. Not only was his engagement annulled as promised, but he had also become a laughingstock in the city due to his loss to the Four-way Heaven.
This time, even Tu Hong's face was on the table. If he lost again, the entire Tu Family would become a laughing stock. Even Tu Wan wouldn't look good.
Therefore, no matter what, he would not go easy on them.
Therefore, everyone wanted to see this match with their own eyes.
The First Elder, the Junior Elder, the Ministers of the Six Ministries, the various Ministers, and the officials were all present.
In a corner at the edge of the venue, a group of young men and women gathered together and joked, "Young Sparrow Hawk, you really put in a lot of money. Not only did you act as the banker, but you also bet 300 taels of silver on that person's loss."
"How could I let go of such a good opportunity to make money?" Liu Ruoyao smiled happily.
There was nothing more delightful than watching one's enemy lose and making money at the same time.
"Haven't you realized it after so long? That person isn't a fool. He's much smarter than most of us, "Hong Xian said faintly. "Otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting in that position with such a low level of strength."
"Hmph, I don't know what Her Majesty sees in him, right?" Liu Ruoyao was a little unconvinced.
"You underestimate Her Majesty. Although I'm not smart, I know not to underestimate Her Majesty's foresight! "another burly man said in a muffled voice.
"Young Sparrow Hawk, although my grandfather didn't say it, I can see that he thinks highly of him. You are blinded by hatred. "Hong Xian's words made many people tremble in fear. Did Hong Wu think highly of Ren Baqian?
Tu Yu stood nearby with no one beside him. When he heard Hong Xian's words, his face turned exceptionally ugly. "Just you wait. We won't lose this time."
…
"Your Majesty." Everyone stood up and bowed.
"Sit down." The empress appeared in a flash on a chair that had been prepared for her. She rested her chin on one hand and waited for the competition to begin.
When Ren Baqian walked past the crowd, many people gasped in surprise.
Many people felt a suction force, causing their weapons to become restless.
"What's going on?" This suction force disappeared in a flash, but many people still found the source. It was in a box carried by one of the guards behind Ren Baqian.
The box was huge and two meters tall. Even two people couldn't wrap their arms around it. The outside was made of wood, and no one knew what was inside. It seemed to be something that Ren Baqian had prepared for this competition.
As the guard entered the arena, everyone felt the suction force disappear.
Those who were attentive would notice that there was no metal on the guard's body. Even the weapon that never left his body wasn't hanging on his waist.
Tu Hong was already waiting in the arena. When Ren Baqian was ten meters away from him, he said, "As I said before, you have to put a piece of metal on your body. Of course, I will also put a piece of metal on my body. We actually have the same idea. If you can catch me within 30 minutes, you win. "
"Is it in the box behind you? Give it to me. I will let you know that your little tricks are useless against real strength, "Tu Hong said as he looked at the box behind Ren Baqian.
An Earth Wheel expert could carry that box, let alone Ren Baqian himself. Furthermore, judging from the trembling of the guard's footsteps, the box didn't seem heavy.
"Let's wait and see." Ren Baqian still said the same words. He turned around and pulled out a box from the top of the box. Following which, his face immediately became extremely strange, and his hands couldn't help but shake.
"Take the box away," Ren Baqian whispered.
The guard quickly took the box away, and Ren Baqian's face gradually relaxed as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
After placing the box on the ground, Ren Baqian took out a metal hoop that was only slightly thicker than a person's waist. However, it was as thick as an arm and seemed to only weigh about 50 kilograms.
"This is it. Put it on your waist." Ren Baqian walked slowly to Tu Hong with the box in his hand.
Tu Hong was a little puzzled as this thing was really too small.
He originally thought that Ren Baqian was using a heavy object to slow down his movements, but how big was this thing? Only a few kilograms? Furthermore, when he took it, he realized that it was lighter than he expected. It was at most 10 kilograms.
"If it leaves your body, you lose," Ren Baqian said again.
"Hmph." Tu Hong snorted coldly as he took the hoop and put it from his feet to his waist. It was slightly big, but there were some airbags inside the hoop. Ren Baqian stretched out his hand and the airbags filled the gap. The hoop was like a belt that was securely fastened to his waist.
"Alright, before you lose, do you have anything else to say?" Ren Baqian asked with a relaxed smile on his face when he saw that he had put on the bracelet.
"Me? Lose? Haha, hahahahaha! "Tu Hong suddenly burst into laughter when he heard Ren Baqian's words. "You actually said that I will lose? I can't wait any longer! "
After laughing, Tu Hong lowered his head slightly and stared fiercely at Ren Baqian. He grinned and revealed his snow-white teeth like a wild beast.
"I can't wait to let you know that the thing you rely on is so weak and shatter that inexplicable self-confidence of yours! I will let you know what true strength is! "
