He didn't care at all who his opponent was in the first round.

But this guy with a gun is already on his kill list.

Being so arrogant and defiant is definitely detrimental to my future as I approach thirty.

After the draw was completed, the battles began.

The first to enter the duel were Ye Boqi and Zhang Youqiang.

After everyone else left the ring, Zhang Youqiang was left standing alone on the ring.

His handsome appearance, elegant demeanor, long hair flowing in the breeze, and the hem of his clothes all accentuated the unique charisma of this young genius with a gun.

But these things could not alleviate the panic in his heart.

He couldn't tolerate even the slightest thing; he was truly panicked because he had overheard what the little princess said to her son-in-law.

"Second brother, don't worry too much. Life and death are not important on this stage. When it's time to make a move, just make a move."

These words startled not only Zhang Youqiang, but also the Second Elder Zhang Dayou.

Princess, our eldest grandson admires you the most. Since he was little, if you tell him to go east, he wouldn't dare to go west; if you tell him to chase the dog, he would never dare to catch a chicken.

Why is our eldest grandson the first one they're going to practice on?

It's fine to give it to my son-in-law to practice on, but could you please leave it alive, even if it's crippled?

Our eldest grandson is no match for his son-in-law, so why did you tell him not to hold back and to act when necessary?

Even if I add all my best defensive techniques to my eldest grandson, if my son-in-law puts his full strength into it, it'll only take one sword strike.

Thinking of this, the Second Elder decided to try to save himself.

What does saving face matter? The most important thing is that our grandson survives.

So just as Ye Boqi stepped forward, the Second Elder came up to him with a smile.

"Young Master, before the duel, may I introduce the materials of the arena to you?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other Dao Sect elders immediately changed. This was utterly shameless...

As an elder who judges the arena battles, it would be acceptable for you to explain the rules of the fights, but instead you have to introduce the materials used to build the arena.

Listen to this yourself, is this even human language?

"Come, Young Master, look at the main material of this arena. It is made of ten-thousand-year-old Vajra wood. Although Vajra wood is wood, it is even harder than the finest iron from the ground."

"Look here, the ten-thousand-year-old Vajra Wood is fixed with the sinew of a giant sea dragon. This kind of sinew is very rare. It is not only extremely strong but also very tough. It is the main material for making the ultimate spirit bow. I still have some in stock. I will give it to you to appreciate another day."

"And this animal hide laid on the arena is made from the fur of the great demon Fire-Eyed Bull. Although the Fire-Eyed Bull has limited attack power, it has extremely strong defense. After being refined, it has the ability to absorb damage, making it perfect for laying out the arena."

When asked about this, He Boqi chuckled.

"Although the Fire-Eyed Bull isn't of very high rank, it's not easy to kill. The reason we were able to get so many Fire-Eyed Bull hides this time is thanks to our eldest grandson."

As he spoke, he subtly pointed a gun at Zhang Youqiang.

"Although my eldest grandson's talent and strength cannot compare with yours, he is very obsessed with the way of the spear, and this way of the spear is the nemesis of the Fiery-Eyed Bull."

“Our eldest grandson has admired the young master since he was a child, and he thinks all day about how he can follow the young master’s side. But unfortunately, his cultivation is limited and he is afraid that the young master will not take him seriously. That’s why he insisted on participating in this arena competition.”

"It's all so that the young master can see his progress and thus stay by his side to serve him."

He sighed heavily after saying that.

"Alas, you foolish child."

After glancing at Zhang Youqiang, the Second Elder sighed heavily once again.

Grandson, I'm doing everything I can to keep you alive. I've said all this, but if your son-in-law still chooses to kill you with a single sword stroke...

Then all Grandpa can do is wish you a speedy recovery so that your father can give us another grandson.

The elders on the viewing platform looked at the Second Elder with extremely complex expressions.

anger!

disdain!

Disdain!

But more than that, it was a realization: so this is how things can be done, right?

Let's play shamelessly, who's afraid of who?

Does anyone in our Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect have any shame?

Since you're going to start this, don't blame me for doing the opposite. Let's just follow this pattern.

Those grandchildren who were going to clash with their sons-in-law were especially scheming in their minds about how to innovate on the Second Elder's tactics.

She subtly conveyed her goodwill to her son-in-law.

No matter how thick the defenses are, they are no match for the son-in-law not drawing his sword.

After the Second Elder finished speaking, Xiao Boqi raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Second Elder's words were already quite straightforward, so how could he not understand what he meant?

Especially when the Second Elder went directly from introducing the materials of the arena to Zhang Youqiang, he already understood the Second Elder's intention to curry favor.

I beg myself to show mercy.

This was not a difficult choice for Xiao Boqi. Killing him would satisfy his hatred, but it would leave him with a very threatening enemy at the age of thirty.

If they stay, they will gain an ally at the age of thirty.

The moment the Second Elder finished speaking, Xiao Boqi stepped towards Zhang Youqiang.

"I can't beat you."

This was the first thing Zhang Youqiang said when He Boqi stopped in front of him.

He then brandished his spear, assuming an attack stance.

"But the Zhang family is not afraid of those who are not brave enough, nor are we cowards who surrender without a fight. Even though we know we are no match for them, if you want to beat me, then you'll have to step over my dead body!"

His words were spoken with force and conviction, yet they gave the Second Elder the urge to kill him.

Because this useless idiot mispronounced his lines.

He told him last night what the purpose of this arena was, and in order to give his son-in-law a better impression of his eldest grandson, he specially wrote an opening speech for Zhang Youqiang.

The opening line ended with, "If you want to beat me, then show me your true skills and make me truly convinced. The Zhang family respects the strong the most."

But in his panic and anxiety, this piece of trash actually trembled and decided to step over my corpse instead.

I'm risking my reputation to plead for you, and you idiot are just courting death.

If your son-in-law gets angry at you, you good-for-nothing, and agrees to your request, then your grandfather will really have no choice but to urge your father to have another child.

However, to his relief, it seemed that his son-in-law didn't pay much attention to what his eldest grandson said.

Looking at Zhang Youqiang in front of him, Yi Boqi nodded slightly.

Spear fighting is a martial art that the Daqi army specializes in, and it is also the most effective weapon of killing on the battlefield.

Therefore, he was very familiar with marksmanship.

Although Zhang Youqiang's cultivation level was only at the first level of the Life Wheel Realm, it was evident from his starting stance alone.

Zhang Youqiang was quite skilled in spear fighting.

Just as Xiao Boqi nodded slightly, Zhang Youqiang made a move.

The spear moved like a dragon, aiming directly for the throat of Yi Boqi.
