Chapter 944 - The Disparity of Different Energy Explosion Pills (1/2)

Tortoise Kingdom was founded on martial arts. There was a huge arena in the palace. It was usually used for warriors to compete.

When Qin Haodong and the others came over, thousands of people had already gathered there, including palace guards on standby, nobles, and courtiers of the kingdom.

There was a stand on the opposite side of the arena. Zhao Xianlong and Wu Yuenian were sitting side by side. A man was seated next to them. He was Imperial Preceptor, Zhangsun Chengdu.

Below the arena, a proud young man 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 War of Tortoise Kingdom, who had great power and was the sworn follower of Zhangsun Chengdu. Thus, no one dared to provoke him in the entire Tortoise City and he developed an arrogant and domineering attitude.

As for today’s competition, he had already received special instructions from his father Chen Xuanling, and Zhangsun Chengdu. Not only did they want him to win, but they also wanted him to kill Qin Haodong to prevent any future problems.

Chen Ruyi was very confident. This guy was accustomed to bullying men and women but his cultivation was really high. He was regarded as the rare peerless genius of the Chen Family in a thousand years.

When he heard that the cultivation of his opponent was only the final stage of the Voiding Realm, he was even more disdainful.

He had learned the Eight-armed Divine Dragon Fist from his master since he was a child. Now, he had reached the stage of the Small Completion, known as the Eight-armed Divine Dragon. It could be said that he had no rival among the young generation of the noble families.

In his opinion, an opponent who was one level lower than him could be crushed to death by him with a casual flick of his fingers.

Looking at the setting sun that was about to disappear, Zhangsun Chengdu said, “Your Majesty, it’s almost time. Qin Haodong still hasn’t shown up. It seems that he doesn’t attach much importance to this competition.”

Wu Yuenian played along and said, “Yes. This competition is to fight over the position of the son-in-law of our Tortoise Kingdom. It is a great event. I can’t believe he’s late. This is showing contempt for the Tortoise royal family.”

Zhao Xianlong indifferently said, “It doesn’t matter. After all, it is not time for the competition yet.”

Wu Yuenian said, “However, we can tell what his attitude is like from this. Look! Chen Ruyi has been here for a while. This is a sign of respect for the Tortoise royal family.”

While she was talking, she suddenly saw Qin Haodong, Zhao Xingyue, and the others coming in from outside.

Seeing that Qin Haodong had arrived, Zhao Xianlong said to the chief steward Si Baokun nearby, “Go and prepare. The competition will start soon.”

Si Baokun nodded and brought Qin Haodong into the arena. Chen Ruyi who was standing nearby jumped onto the arena directly and contemptuously glanced at Qin Haodong. “Boy, you finally dare to turn up. Did you just go and prepare for the funeral?”

Qin Haodong nodded and said, “Yes, I went to prepare for your funeral. I’ll burn more paper money for you so that you won’t make trouble for me when you die.”

“You…” Chen Ruyi was very angry. His face and ears turned red. “No need to argue, boy. Just wait and see. I’ll kill you later.”

At this time, Zhangsun Chengdu sitting in the stand stood up and announced the rules of the competition for marrying the Princess today.

“Everyone, today is the day of the competition for marrying Princess Xingyue of our Tortoise Kingdom. Chen Ruyi and Qin Haodong are two young talents. The winner will become the son-in-law of our Tortoise Kingdom.

“Before the competition, let me announce two rules. First, no weapons other than their own cultivation are allowed. No demonic beasts are allowed to be summoned in the competition. Second, our Tortoise Kingdom is founded on martial arts. An accident is inevitable in the course of the competition. It is permissible if one of them dies.”

After these two rules were announced, the crowd around the arena burst into an uproar.

“No one is allowed to use weapons in the competition. I’ve never heard of such a rule before. Why would such a rule suddenly appear?”

“Demonic beasts are part of their own cultivation. Why can’t they use them?”

“In the past, any martial arts competition ended when victory or defeat was determined and both sides should stop where it should. Why did he suddenly emphasize that it is permissible if one of them dies today? It seems that something big is going to happen…”

After Zhao Xingyue came in, she sat next to Zhao Xianlong and nervously grabbed her father’s arm. She whispered, “Father, shouldn’t it stop at where it should?”

Zhao Xianlong patted her hand and comforted her. “Don’t panic. Have faith in Qin Haodong.”

Although the father and daughter spoke in low voices, Zhangsun Chengdu was seated next to them and his cultivation was extraordinary. Therefore, he naturally heard their conversation clearly.

A mocking smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. They had made full preparations for today’s competition. First, they banned Qin Haodong from using his Three-legged Golden Toad. Then, they prepared a Great Energy Explosion Pill for Chen Ruyi just in case.

At this moment, Qin Haodong was already a dead man in his eyes.

When everything was ready, Si Baokun, acting as the referee in the arena, shouted, “The competition begins!”

Chen Ruyi had been waiting for a long time. He immediately threw a punch when he heard the word ‘begins’.

His fist skill was called Eight-armed Divine Dragon Fist. For the highest level of Eight-armed Divine Dragon Fist, each punch was equivalent to eight arms.

Although he was only at the stage of the Small Completion, each of his punches had six arms. The fist shadows looked like mountains and had terrifying momentum.

“Young Master Chen is so powerful; he is worthy of being the number one among the younger generation in Tortoise City…”

“It is indeed worthy of being the Eight-armed Divine Dragon Fist. I am unable to bear such a punch…”

“Where did the boy in the arena come from? He dared to fight with Young Master Chen. Isn’t he courting death?”

The people watching the competition were all optimistic about Chen Ruyi.

In the face of the mountainous fist shadows, Qin Haodong didn’t care at all. No matter how many fist shadows there were, there was only one real fist shadow. The rest of the fist shadows were fake.

His Spirit was very powerful, so he could easily distinguish which one was real and which ones were fake. With a slight movement of his feet, he dodged the attack.

Chen Ruyi froze for a moment and felt a little surprised. Then, he punched again. The fist shadows all over the sky engulfed Qin Haodong’s figure.

From the outside, he seemed to have an absolutely overwhelming advantage. However, he was extremely depressed. No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t touch a corner of his opponent’s clothes.
