Chapter 70 - 70: Challenging the Establishment
Gale Martial Arts Hall opened its doors early today, and all the people who could be present were there.
Dongfang Jun and Lu Ming stayed overnight yesterday, waiting for the people from Blue Sky to come and challenge the hall today.
Since a warrior level opponent came to challenge the hall, War Gods and War Generals could not fight. Only warrior level fighters could fight, which made Dongfang Jun feel somewhat powerless.
Many teams that were out have also returned to the martial arts hall and gathered in the main hall, discussing in an animated manner.
Tong Yuehu, the vice-chief of the martial arts hall and a fifth-level War God, was discussing with the martial artists.
To prepare for today’s battle, the Gale Martial Artists were ready early on. Among them, Fu Chengya, Shen Yuhua, and Meng Dong were the main forces to fight back.
Tong Yuehu stood in front of the three, his voice heavy: “The three of you have a big task today. We have watched and studied the videos of those Russians together, and this is how the task is assigned.”
Tong Yuehu pointed to Meng Dong: “You have innate divine power, and your strength is not inferior to Nelov. If Nelov appears, you will go on stage for me and you must win, not lose. Understand?”
Meng Dong has reached the peak of a Level Eight Fighter, and he has innate divine power, his strength has almost reached the one thousand kilogram limit of a warrior martial artist.
Meng Dong nodded, but he had no confidence since Nelov’s strength might be even greater than his, and his strong defense didn’t help Meng Dong’s chances of winning.
However, as a martial artist, he had to give it a try. Once he won this match, he could choose any reward from the martial arts hall’s store, and this reward was so generous that anyone would be tempted.
Tong Yuehu then came to Fu Chengya: “Chengya, your sword skills are well-practiced, and you also use double swords, which can restrain Eva’s double-handed sword. Our Hua Xia Swordsmanship has a long history, inherited for thousands of years, it should be better than Western swords, right? Do you have confidence?”
“Vice-chief, don’t worry. I’ve wanted to teach that Russian woman a lesson for a long time. If she comes, I’ll make sure she regrets it!”
Tong Yuehu nodded with satisfaction, that was the vigor he wanted. It seemed that Fu Chengya was more useful than Meng Dong.
In the end, Tong Yuehu came to Shen Yuhua.
A smile appeared on Shen Yuhua’s face, as he had some familial relationship with Tong Yuehu, which was one of the reasons he joined Gale.
Tong Yuehu indeed took good care of Shen Yuhua, helping him everywhere. With Tong Yuehu’s help, Shen Yuhua had entered the Level Nine Warrior stage within this period. Although it was only one level higher than Fu Chengya’s
Level Eight Peak, his strength had already faintly become the number one in Gale.
Tong Yuehu patted Shen Yuhua’s shoulder: “Shen Yuhua, although we have some blood relation, I will not be partial to you. Your task this time is the heaviest. The opponent’s Ivan is your enemy. Although this person has never taken action in public, according to common sense analysis, his strength must be the strongest. Once he takes action, you are responsible for resisting. Do you have confidence!”
They both had studied this matter earlier. Among the three Russians, they concluded that both Nelov and Eva were not easy to deal with. Shen Yuhua didn’t have full confidence, so it was better to let Shen Yuhua deal with Ivan, who had never taken action before, as a form of care for Shen Yuhua.
Shen Yuhua had already made up his mind and answered enthusiastically:
“Vice-chief, rest assured, we Gale people have no cowards. Leave Ivan to me,
I’ll win for sure!”
“Hahaha! Good kid, very spirited!”
Tong Yuehu laughed with satisfaction, then he said to the three of them: “Today, the mayor of Base City, Lu Ming, is here. The mayor said that whoever makes the most significant contribution in this battle will receive a billion-dollar reward. If you all win, the billion-dollar reward will be divided among the three of you according to your contribution.”
The three of them stood tall, full of expectations.
“Also, if you win, Ice City will reward you with the title of Honorary Citizen. It’s a great honor. All public facilities in Ice City will be free for you. Do you want
“We want it!” The three answered in unison.
“If you want it, work hard. It’s almost time now. Relax for a while, and the people from Blue Sky should be here soon.”
Tong Yuehu walked to the center of the War General martial artists after finishing his words. Meng Dong and the others had nothing to do, so they just followed him.
“Do you have any opinions or suggestions?” Tong Yuehu asked these War Generals.
There were hundreds of Gale War Generals, and dozens were present today.
Most of them shook their heads, indicating that the arrangements made by the Chief and Vice-chief were excellent.
At this moment, Shi Lei hesitated for a moment and said, “I think we would be more confident if Lin Zhen were here.”
As soon as Shi Lei’s words were spoken, Fu Chengya sneered first: “What difference would it make if Lin Zhen was here? Isn’t the result of your trip to Yi Lan County obvious? Ye Tiancheng is dead, Lin Zhen hasn’t returned yet, maybe he has been eaten by a monster too.”
Zhao Liang interjected at this time: “Lin Zhen is not dead, he just went to practice outside again, and I think he will be back soon.”
“Hmph! I hope he doesn’t come back. That bastard Lin Zhen, when he comes back, I’ll let him know how powerful I am!”
Fu Chengya still had a grievance in his heart, and after practicing for so long, he was confident that he could defeat Lin Zhen. He was still holding a grudge over what had happened before.
At this time, Meng Dong said: “That’s not necessarily true. Looking at you, I don’t have much confidence. If Lin Zhen is here, we don’t even need three of us.
Even two of us, Lin Zhen and I, can still beat those three Russians.”
Shen Yuhua’s eyes rolled: “Meng Dong, what are you talking about? What benefits did Lin Zhen give you to make you cheer for him? Lin Zhen is just a warrior now, what makes him capable of defeating strong enemies? There’s no need for me to deal with Lin Zhen now; Fu Chengya is enough.”
After Shen Yuhua was promoted to a Level Nine Warrior, his confidence was full and he didn’t care about the other warriors. His words insulted not only Lin Zhen but also Fu Chengya.
Fu Chengya was also unconvinced. He was just relying on a good uncle, not even a close relative. What’s there to brag about?
“Shen Yuhua, I warn you, you can talk about Lin Zhen being a waste, but not me. I want to duel with you!”
“Duel? I don’t need to be afraid of you. Today, I’ll prove to everyone who is the number one of Ice City’s new generation!” Shen Yuhua stood up fearlessly.
Tong Yuehu frowned and was about to speak when suddenly there was a noise outside.
“Hahaha! What a bunch of frogs at the bottom of the well, ready to fight each other. Do you think that if you frogs fight and there is a winner, you can crown yourself the number one person in Ice City?”
The martial artists of Gale looked outside and saw a large group of people coming in.
In addition to the martial artists from Blue Sky, the Russian trio stood out among the crowd.
The gloomy Ivan, the curvaceous Eva, and the towering Nelov, resembling a polar bear, walked in. The Gale’s infighting also stopped.
The challengers had finally arrived!
