...
When the atmosphere reached its peak, Shen Zhao and Xia Tounan stood in the middle of the arena at Ding Bu'er's call.
"Because it is a preliminary competition, the competition is divided into three rounds."
"One hundred and twenty breaths per round."
"There are no rules in the game. As long as one side falls to the ground and can't get up, the other side will be considered the winner."
"On the other hand, if neither side is defeated within three rounds, the winner will be determined based on the players' performance."
"Of course, if one side concedes defeat, they can slap the ground with their hand while falling, and the other side wins immediately."
"Furthermore, if you fall to the ground and cannot get up within ten breaths, you also lose."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Although Ding Bu'er kept talking about the competition rules, his eyes were always on Xia Tounan.
After all, the rules of the competition were set by Shen Zhao, so there's no need to waste any more words with the other party.
Unexpectedly, Xia Tounan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked in a low voice, "Then how about I just lie down and don't get up, or clap my hands and admit defeat?"
"That won't do!" Ding Bu'er said, "One of the rules of the competition is that match-fixing is prohibited. If you do, even if you are killed, we will not be held responsible. I have said everything I need to say. You two may begin."
Shen Zhao immediately smiled at Xia Tounan, revealing his agile physique.
Xia Tounan smiled back, but her smile was uglier than crying.
"Ding ding~"
As Su Yunying rang the bell outside the arena, the exciting iron cage competition officially began.
Shen Zhao immediately assumed a fighting stance and moved with butterfly steps to stand in front of Xia Tounan.
Xia Tounan suppressed his fear, feeling the passionate shouts outside the iron cage, and finally mustered up the courage to use the White Cloud Palm.
"Bang!"
As a result, Shen Zhao showed no martial ethics. When Xia Tounan stepped forward, he threw a punch and knocked him down on the spot.
In an instant, Xia Tounan saw stars. He shook his head and stood up, but Shen Zhao hit him in the chin with another uppercut, sending him flying. He crashed heavily into the iron cage, causing it to shake violently.
Such a direct and exciting scene immediately thrilled and excited the audience.
At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds: This is the kind of battle a man should fight. Those women who rely on magic to outwit and outfight are really weak.
Shen Zhao strode forward and delivered two straight punches to Xia Tounan, who was already in a daze.
Xia Tounan's face was immediately covered in blood, and he shouted in his heart, "This is so exciting!", then fell to the ground and fainted completely.
"ten!"
"Nine!"
"eight!"
Ding Buer, who acted as the referee, immediately lay on the ground, slapping the ground with his hands and shouting the countdown.
Shen Zhao raised his arms and began circling the iron cage, prematurely declaring his victory.
"Shameless!"
Lu Xuanji really couldn't stand it anymore; Shen Zhao's strength was indeed beyond her imagination.
But what's the point of such a one-sided battle?
However, despite that, today's cage fight with no rules truly gave her a completely new sensory experience.
It is indeed very passionate and exciting.
Lu Chen and Gu Yunxiao shared the same sentiment. During the previous battle in the arena, they did not sense any sign of Shen Zhao's spiritual power leaking out. In other words, Shen Zhao defeated his opponent entirely through his powerful physique.
There are many methods to strengthen the body: the Golden Lotus Sect's Vajra Indestructible Body, the Xuanmiao Sect's Hidden Thoughts Taoist Body, the Bodhi Sect's Bodhi Golden Body, the Tianmo Sect's World-Destroying Demon Source, etc.
However, these techniques all require the outflow of spiritual energy to form the power of Daoist principles throughout the body, thereby enhancing the physical body.
However, there was no spiritual energy fluctuation felt on Shen Zhao's body just now, which means there is only one possibility.
"Physical ascension to sainthood! Immortality and immortality!?"
Is this even possible? Such a heaven-defying body-building skill had long been lost in ancient legends, and had not been seen in the Xianwu Continent for tens of thousands of years.
Could it be that Shen Zhao is a disciple of an ancient aristocratic family, pretending to be weak while actually being strong?
The cultivators present began to speculate about Shen Zhao's identity.
"three!"
"two!"
"one"
"Gentlemen! The victor is Shen Zhao!"
As Ding Bu'er raised Shen Zhao's arm high, thunderous cheers erupted from the crowd.
"That's great! Boss Shen is awesome!"
"Thai pants are hot!"
"I want to participate in the fighting competition too!"
"It's so exhilarating!"
"I'm not cultivating immortality anymore. How can I experience such a scene in the cultivation world?"
The entire venue erupted in cheers, and the audience pounded on the iron cage as their passion was ignited.
...
In the afternoon, after everyone had left, Lu Zhantian and the others bid farewell to Shen Zhao, still feeling somewhat unsatisfied, and then the group began to settle accounts in the inner room.
"I contacted the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce. They bought all the low-grade spiritual herbs (grades one to three) for 150,000 spirit stones each. In addition, they bought four yellow-grade spiritual weapons for 80,000 spirit stones each and two black-grade spiritual weapons for 150,000 spirit stones each. The total amount they received was 380,000 spirit stones."
"And on my side, the retail sales of healing potions and spirit-restoring pills are doing quite well. During today's match alone, we sold over 20,000 spirit stones."
It's a pity I didn't engage in high-stakes gambling; otherwise, I would definitely have made even more.
The income of 400,000 spirit stones made everyone smile.
As per the previous agreement, Feng Xiunian and He Yishou each received 240,000 spirit stones, while the remaining 160,000 spirit stones went entirely into Shen Zhao's pocket.
Ding Bu'er grinned from ear to ear, picked up his wine glass and stood up, saying, "Gentlemen, I have a suggestion. To wish our business continued success, let's all have a toast!"
"Dry!"
Everyone clinked their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
