Originally, Long Yi planned to meet up with Qi Laosi and the others, but Wang Qingqing was worried that he would run around and get into an accident, so she forcibly pulled him into Liu Tian's team.

Ah Zi had obviously become familiar with Liu Tian and his gang. When she saw Long Yi, she just nodded slightly and even kept a distance from him.

Long Yi didn't care about these things at all. After all, A Zi was just a little maid assigned to him by District Chief Wang. She was dispensable.

After taking their seats, the atmosphere in the underground boxing ring was obviously much more serious than in the previous few days. None of the thousands of spectators dared to make loud noises. They sat obediently in their chairs waiting for the arrival of the bigwigs from the four provincial capitals.

This is the annual competition, which is very different from the ordinary boxing matches. The big guys from the Central Plains gather together, and the grudges and hatreds of the past year and the division of power in the new year are all decided by these competitions.

Clearly, Peige wasn't impressed by the crowd's restrained demeanor. He said disdainfully, "Are these people so unworldly? Back when I was at international competitions, I never saw the audience so restrained."

Liu Tian explained, "Brother Pei, you've only been in Dragon Country for a year, so you don't know how powerful these bosses are. They're incredibly powerful throughout the entire Central Plains, and with their assets, even a tiny leak in their fingertips is worth as much as all our assets."

Brother Pei scoffed. "No matter how good they are, they still have to come to the underground boxing ring to bet. I think your wealthy people in Dragon Country have poor taste. The wealthy in our country go to watch international competitions. How could they be interested in these remote events?"

He curled his lips after he finished speaking, and his words were full of a strong sense of superiority.

Long Yi was amused. Who gave this guy the confidence? After two years in Long Country, he really thought he was the best? Any prefecture-level city in Long Country could easily defeat the capital of this guy's country.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the crowd, and several big men filed out of the entrance and slowly walked up to the distinguished and spacious VIP seats.

"Isn't that Fourth Master Qi? Why does he look even thinner than on TV?"

"Look! Our Jinghai City boss Lin Hulin has also come out. He's so impressive!"

"Youzhou boss Xu Li is here too! Is that the guy with the bandage on his eye in the back the young master of the Xu family? Why does he look like he's blind?"

Every time a big shot walked up to the VIP seats, there would be cheers and admiration in the venue. After all, these were big shots that could only be seen on the news. Being able to meet them in person today was at least worth the ticket money, and they would also have something to brag about to their friends and family when they returned.

After all, these big guys are so terrifying that the local provinces and cities will tremble with just a stomp of their feet.

After several big men took their seats, a figure slowly walked out of the underground passage. The atmosphere on the scene instantly became solemn, and everyone stared at the middle-aged man with extraordinary aura with admiration.

The overlord of Central Plains!

The wealthy man who sits firmly at the top of the four major provincial capitals!

Shuntian Haiye!

Ling Hai's status is much higher than the previous three, and the sphere of influence under his jurisdiction is also wider. He occupies Shuntian, the most prosperous provincial capital in the Central Plains, and is backed by the hidden sect in Yandu.

The moment they saw Ling Hai, one of the three big guys who had already taken their seats snorted coldly, full of provocation.

Ling Hai's face was calm, he didn't care at all, and sat naturally in the most honorable seat.

The old man Li beside him had eyes as sharp as an eagle, and he knew at a glance who the person who had just snorted was.

"Master Hai, this fellow Lin Hu is truly a rebellious person. Not only does he not show any respect for you, but he actually looks at you with contempt."

"It's okay. Truth comes out from under the fist. He won't be able to act so arrogant later." Ling Hai waved his hand and said calmly.

He looked around the venue, but didn't see any familiar figures, and he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

"I saw that guy at the boxing ring five days ago, but now he's nowhere to be seen. I wonder if he's met with something bad."

But he soon figured it out. With Long Yi's financial resources and connections, he probably didn't even know about the existence of the Zhulu Conference. He probably just wandered around with his female companion for two days and then slipped back to the capital.

Ling Hai was furious when he thought of Long Yi's philandering and promiscuous nature. He really didn't know how his daughter could have fallen for that guy in the first place.

"Everyone, it's the annual Zhulu Conference again. Thank you all for traveling thousands of miles to participate.

Everyone knows the rules. Fists speak in the ring. When the fighters decide the outcome, the master also determines the sphere of influence. Past grudges are forgotten and the loser should bow his head and admit his mistake.

Let me be frank: after the Zhulu Conference, if anyone stirs up trouble again and disrupts the economic development and order of the Central Plains, don't blame me, Ling Hai, for turning my back on you!

Ling Hai sat firmly in the first seat. Although he didn't use a microphone, his powerful voice spread to every corner of the venue, which made people's hearts tremble.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Li from Youzhou couldn't help but jump out and sneered, "Qi Lao Si, I heard that you are very close to a guy named Long, who blinded my son two weeks ago.

In the past, I let you off every time for Mr. Qi's sake, but it's your own fault for choosing friends so carelessly. Today, let's settle all the old and new scores together!"

Xu Li waved his hand, and a short warrior wearing black clothes and a black mask appeared on the stage in a strange posture. He was so fast that everyone could only see an afterimage.

Several big guys around stared at Qi Laosi with strange eyes. This guy was in his fifties, but he was so close to a young man, and that young man happened to provoke Xu Li.

"Xu Li actually hired a ninja this year. When did this guy start colluding with Sakura Island? He's so desperate to win that he's even losing face."

"Old Qi has been at the bottom of the rankings for four years now, and this time he's facing off against a tough opponent like Xu Li in his first duel. I'm sure he'll have a tough time."

"I think he's really getting old and confused. Xu Li is taking out all his anger on that young man on him. Let's see how he responds!"

Everyone stared at Qi Lao Si with a funny attitude.

Qi Laosi's thin face was full of anger, and his fists were clenched. He originally thought that he would be fine if he kept a low profile when Master Long was not around, but it turned out that Xu Li was the first one to look for him.

"Master Liu, Master Long is not here, so we can only let you go on stage and play a round first."

"Judging from the way he just stepped onto the stage, he must be a master of ninjutsu from Sakura Island." Master Liu narrowed his eyes and said slowly:

"Ninjas are divided into Genin, Chunin, Jonin, and Toujin. Among them, only Toujin has mastered all ninjutsu and can be called the best practitioners in the ninja world. As long as the opponent is not Toujin, I have confidence in him."

After saying that, he moved his feet and walked towards the ring. Finally, he touched the ground with his toes, and his body was as light as a feather as he climbed over the two-meter-high rope and floated directly onto the ring.
