Xiang Wudi also stopped trying to persuade his daughter and focused all his attention on the arenas.

The Great Yan Dynasty held military exercises to select some outstanding talents, and a large number of them would enter the army.

Some of them may even become his subordinates, so Xiang Wudi would naturally pay more attention to them.

At the same time, in the Ye family's spectator booth, Ye Chuyao kept scanning the arenas with her big eyes, and it was obvious that she was very interested in this martial arts competition.

At this time, "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~"

Ten figures burst out from the surrounding spectator seats, and several flashes appeared on the stage.

"Li Ke from the Golden Sword Sect welcomes all heroes to challenge us."

"Zhao Xun of the Tianlang Gang welcomes all heroes to challenge us."

"Tianxiao Sect Murong Tian welcomes all heroes to challenge us."

“........”

Ten figures on the stage introduced themselves one after another and invited the contestants in the spectator seats to fight.

The preliminary round of this martial arts competition is very simple. Only one person who can defend the ring for ten consecutive rounds can enter the next round of competition.

"Haha, good, you are brave!"

"Golden Sword Sect, right? I, Sun Hao, am here to meet you."

"Then I, Yang Yi, will come to meet this Tianlang Gang hero."

“.......”

Soon, fierce battles broke out in various arenas.

【Oh, let’s start fighting. 】

[However, these people are too weak, and the strongest one, Murong Tian, ​​is only at the fourth level of martial arts. ]

[It seems that, except for Murong Tian, ​​it will be difficult for the other defending players to win ten games in a row.]

Hearing Ye Chuyao's thoughts, the two brothers Ye Yunge and Ye Yunwu nodded imperceptibly.

The fourth level of martial arts is considered to be the first step into the ranks of strong people.

It's normal to be able to defend the title for ten games in a row.

But it's not absolute. If he happens to meet someone stronger than him, he can only blame his bad luck.

"Brother, when are you going to play?"

Ye Yunwu asked Ye Yunge.

"Wait a little longer, there's no rush!"

"What's wrong, second brother? Your hands are itchy?"

Ye Yunge smiled faintly.

"No way, the strongest ones will be the last ones to appear."

"We brothers should naturally take the lead."

Ye Yunwu suppressed the impulse in his heart and crossed his arms.

[Hehe, second brother is lying. He clearly wants to go up there.]

[Looking at him now, it's obvious that he can't sit still! ]

Ye Chuyao ruthlessly exposed his lies.

"How could this little sister destroy my stage like this?"

An embarrassed look suddenly appeared on Ye Yunwu's face.

Ye Hongtu turned his head and looked at him: "Yunwu, don't be so impatient."

"It's just the preliminary round. Winning doesn't mean much. The ones you meet later are the masters."

"Remember, once you are on the stage, never underestimate your opponent at any time."

"You should understand what I mean."

Ye Hongtu's tone was extremely serious.

Although both of his sons have been promoted to the half-step grandmaster realm.

Generally speaking, among those who participate in martial arts, it is difficult to find anyone who can be their rival.

But if Emperor Yanwu is deliberately targeting me, even if I have the strength of a half-step grandmaster, I must be careful in dealing with it.

"Father, I know."

Ye Yunwu said in a serious tone.

Not far behind, Ye Shiqing heard the conversation between the two and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes:

"Haha, no matter how careful you are, with your fifth-grade martial arts strength, you won't even be qualified to fight back when you meet a half-step grandmaster."

"Ye Yunge, Ye Yunwu, don't blame me and Mr. Gu. You can only blame you for blocking our way."

She still doesn't realize that Ye's father has already made a breakthrough.

At this moment, Liu Anxiu suddenly whispered into her ear:

"Shiqing, Changhe is also participating in this martial arts competition. Wasn't he poisoned last time?"

"I don't know how well you have recovered. I'm participating in this martial arts competition today..."

Liu Anxiu's words were full of worry.

"Don't worry, mother!"

"Mr. Gu is a lucky man, and there will be no problem for him."

Ye Shiqing's tone was extremely firm.

"oh!"

"That's good!"

Liu Anxiu felt a little relieved.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that since Ye Chuyao's full-moon banquet.

Since then, this adopted daughter seemed to have hidden a lot of things from her.

"Mother, I'm sorry. Although you are very smart, you are a bit scheming."

"But in this world, besides scheming, the most important thing is strength."

"Given your ability, there are many things that you cannot be involved in, otherwise it will cause trouble sooner or later."

"As for Mr. Gu, haha... he will definitely surprise everyone."

With this in mind, Ye Shiqing's eyes passed over the two viewing seats and fell on a handsome figure more than ten feet away.

As if sensing her gaze, the figure turned its head to look in her direction and waved its fan slightly to signal.

Ye Shiqing nodded at him:

"Mr. Gu, you will definitely become famous throughout the world after this military campaign."

"As for the two brothers Ye Yunge and Ye Yunwu, they are just two dead men, what do they count for?"

The two of them exchanged glances, which naturally attracted the attention of some interested people.

However, Ye Shiqing didn't care.

The reason why she was so bold was simply because the Ye family and the Gu family had not fallen out.

Even now, she didn't know that the Ye family already knew all the Gu family's calculations and the characters of this mother and daughter.

Therefore, she did not hide her contact with Gu Changhe too much.

[Tsk, this Ye Shiqing is really brave enough to exchange glances with that cripple even from such a long distance.]

[What a pity! Your beloved should have made a name for himself in this martial arts competition.]

[I wonder who poisoned Gu Changhe? He is really a talented person. ]

Ye Chuyao was sitting in Xiao Xiaoren's arms, feeling uneasy.

His big eyes were darting around all the time.

Ye Shiqing and Gu Changhe are the male and female protagonists of this world. Ye Chuyao will naturally pay more attention to them, so her performance of the two just now was noticed by her.

However, until now she didn't know that the person who set the trap and caused Gu Changhe to be poisoned was her seemingly honest old father.

"Ye Shiqing?"

"This girl will be a nuisance sooner or later!"

Hearing his daughter's voice, Ye Hongtu's murderous intention towards Ye Shiqing became stronger.

........

The fierce battle on the ring was still going on. Just as Ye Chuyao had predicted, except for Murong Tian who won consecutive matches, everyone else was knocked out early, and newcomers began to defend the ring.

However, these people were obviously not strong enough and were defeated by others before they even played two games.

However, when Murong Tian thought he would win ten games in a row, a figure leaped into the air from the distant spectator seats, crossed a distance of dozens of meters, and fell heavily on the ring with a "bang".

In an instant, gravel flew everywhere and dust rose up.

This huge movement caused a commotion among countless people.

"Oh my god, who is this? Isn't this scene too domineering?"

"He can cross such a long distance at once. His strength should be higher than the fifth rank, right?"

"Fifth rank? I think you underestimate him. I think he should be at the upper rank."

"No matter what level he reaches, Murong Tian is doomed."

"I was about to win ten games, but I ended up running into a tough guy like him."

"......"

On the stage, Murong Tian looked particularly ugly.

He stared at the guy opposite him without blinking.

He was a young man with bare arms, a very muscular body and short fiery red hair.

Even though the man was standing there motionless, he still felt extremely oppressive.

"My dear brother, you are so strong, there is no need for you to go on stage at this time."

Murong Tian said with an unpleasant expression.

He had already won the game and was about to qualify for the next level, but who would have thought that he would encounter such a tough guy at this time.

This kind of behavior, like deliberately sabotaging someone, is considered a big deal to him.

"Oh? Why can't I play?"

"After watching you for so long, you barely have the qualifications to let me do it."

"If you're afraid, give up now and get out!"

The red-haired young man said indifferently.

"you!"

Being looked down upon like this, Murong Tian immediately became furious.

"Okay, I want to see how powerful you are. You are so arrogant!"

As soon as the words fell, Murong Tian used the Heavenly Sword Technique, and his figure flashed and appeared in front of the red-haired young man.

A sword pierced his throat.

Obviously, the red-haired young man's arrogance made Murong Tian want to kill him, and he showed no mercy.

However, facing this sharp sword, the red-haired young man remained calm.

"Too weak!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his two fingers like lightning, and with a "ding" sound, he clamped the long sword that Murong Tian was stabbing at between his fingers.

Then he squeezed his fingers together, and a burst of force burst out, instantly breaking Murong Tian's long sword into more than a dozen pieces.

Then, he slapped Murong Tian in the air.

“Show mercy!”

An old voice was heard from the spectator seats.

However, it was too late for him to remind her.

Murong Tian was hit by a palm strike and fell to the ground with blood spurting out.

With just two moves, Murong Tian was severely injured and dying.

"This, this, this is too strong. What is his strength?"

"It feels like more than just a martial arts skill."

"I think he should be a half-step master."

"Half-step Grandmaster? A half-step Grandmaster at such a young age? Don't be ridiculous, brother."

"Who is this kid? Such a young half-step master shouldn't be unknown!"

“........”

There was a lot of noise all around the arena.

[Huh? This guy is pretty strong! ]

[I seem to have some impression of his appearance. Who is he? ]

Ye Chuyao fell into deep thought.

There is no way. Since her reincarnation, she found that her brain capacity seemed not enough.

Even though she clearly wrote down the person or thing, she sometimes had to exert a lot of effort to remember it.

At this moment, the red-haired young man on the stage looked around with a disdainful look:

"I am Feng Tang, and I invite all heroes from all over the world to fight!"
