Chen Yang glanced at the match schedule and realized that if he defeated Cai Yao, he would face Xiang Mo in the next round.
Xiang Mo's sudden display of strength also attracted everyone's attention. After all, he hadn't defeated some nobody, but Wang Feng.
"You said Xiang Mo and Chen Yang slept well?" A female martial artist gently nudged her husband.
"Of course it's Chen Yang. He came in second in the name tag battle. If you remove Cai Yao who was just coasting, he'll be number one. And there must be a reason why Senior Yunhua values him so much."
The husband said it as a matter of course.
Actually, he wasn't quite sure who was stronger, but he always felt a bit annoyed by Xiang Mo's elegant demeanor.
"I think Xiang Mo is stronger."
"Why?"
"Because he's handsome, has great manners, and has a prince-like aura. Do you have a problem with that?"
"I..." The husband was about to say something, but was glared at by his wife and obediently swallowed his words. He could only pray in his heart that Chen Yang would beat Xiang Mo into a pig's head, and then see if he would still have any princely temperament.
The people below were also discussing who was stronger, Chen Yang or Xiang Mo. However, more people supported Xiang Mo because Xiang Mo defeated Wang Feng, and without any trickery, he defeated Wang Feng squarely.
During the discussion, it was also time for Chen Yang's first battle, which was against Cai Yao.
The outcome of this battle was actually not very suspenseful; even Cai Yao knew she had little chance of winning.
After Cai Yao stepped onto the ring, she smiled at Chen Yang and said, "Handsome boy, let's not fight. Let me say a few words and I'll admit defeat, okay?"
Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Okay."
Cai Yao cleared her throat and shouted to the curious crowd below the stage, "Xiao Lin, I'm going to have your babies, you stupid pig!!!"
The scene fell silent. The cold wind on Longhu Mountain seemed to pick up; it felt... a bit chilly.
"Yo!!!"
Li Su'er was the first to stand up and clap her hands, cheering loudly, "Chen Yang, I want to have your babies too!"
Li Su'er's antics made everyone laugh, and then everyone cheered.
Xiao Lin, on the other hand, was completely bewildered by the scene. He looked around at the jeering crowd, somewhat at a loss.
"Have one, have one!"
A voice rang out from the crowd, and then everyone joined in the commotion.
The martial artists are not ancient people, they are not so pedantic, and everyone is happy to watch the excitement, especially the excitement in Xiaolin.
"Go home and be reborn!" Cai Yao said fiercely, then stepped off the stage.
Seeing Xiao Lin's astonished expression, Cai Yao couldn't help but feel smug and said, "How about that? Didn't expect that, did you?"
Xiao Lin thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "When do you need it? I'll make some preparations."
"What?" Cai Yao was stunned for a moment.
"You want children, don't you mean you want children?"
This time, Cai Yao was dumbfounded. "You really believe that?"
“Believe me? You never lie to me,” Xiaolin said matter-of-factly.
Cai Yao's eyes instantly turned red.
"Won't the child interfere with your martial arts practice? Children take up a lot of time."
"Probably, but I feel at ease with you here. Thank you for your hard work then. I'll go back and make some preparations. I should probably postpone some of my scheduled matches. I won't be traveling far for the next few years, and I also need to buy a new house."
Xiao Lin continued talking to himself, unaware that Cai Yao had already lowered her head.
This was just a beautiful interlude; the competition continued, and Xiao Lin soon took to the stage and defeated his opponent, though he seemed somewhat distracted. If you got close, you could even hear him muttering to himself.
"The child will need to be breastfed frequently, which will reduce the time for training. So we'll focus more on theoretical research. In a few years, we'll teach him martial arts. Which style should we start with?"
Xiao Lin had clearly taken on the role of a father, though he still maintained a blank expression—that's just how he was born. Only Cai Yao knew that whenever Xiao Lin encountered something that made him very happy or very upset, he would mutter to himself. And having a child clearly encompassed both of those traits.
"Su'er, are you really going to have this baby? If you have it soon, let's go back and get married first."
Chen Yang and Li Su'er had a similar conversation, but the outcome was different.
Li Su'er rolled her eyes at him and said, "Please, I was just trying to lighten the mood. But as for marriage, I might consider it."
“Su’er’s mother, since we’ve already decided to get married, why not start planning for a baby? I think it would be great to have a younger brother or sister,” Chen Liu said sincerely.
Chen Yang immediately realized that Chen Liu was up to something again.
This guy isn't trying to distract Li Su'er, freeing himself from her clutches and preventing her from tormenting him every day.
Recently, Li Su'er seems to want to paint Chen Liu in women's clothing for a photoshoot, but Chen Liu seriously refused. However, Li Su'er doesn't seem to give up and even dragged Mo Xi along to persuade Chen Yang.
Perhaps in Li Su'er's worldview, having children is meaningless if it's not something to be enjoyed.
However, Chen Liu clearly failed to impress Li Su'er. Li Su'er said matter-of-factly, "I only need you to play with for now. We'll talk about you again in a few years when you're no longer fun."
Chen Liu was on the verge of tears, desperately wishing he could grow up quickly.
The first round of the competition ended quickly, and the second round began immediately. As usual, the children's group started first. After one round, they had rested enough.
Chen Liu won by a crushing margin, and even the children who were almost a generation older than him were no match for him.
Everyone witnessed the birth of a prodigy. Now, martial arts are getting worse with each generation. Chen Liu's talent is unparalleled. There is almost no doubt that he will be number one. If others knew that he was only six years old instead of eight, it would probably alarm several senior figures in China.
At six years old, a child is far from being fully developed; one could easily snatch them up as a disciple. Eight years old is when they begin to be fully developed.
Grandpa Yunhua's assertive declaration is already halfway there, and Chen Liu's first place is basically a foregone conclusion. Now it all depends on Chen Yang.
Judging from the current situation, Chen Yang does not seem to be invincible. Even comparing him to Xiang Mo requires some debate. No one compares him to Xiao Lin and Sha Rong because they do not consider Chen Yang to be on the same level as these two prodigies. After all, Chen Yang is a generation younger.
The second round proceeded smoothly without any surprises or unexpected incidents, leading to the most anticipated match: the game between Xiang Mo and Chen Yang.
Xiang Mo remained the same, elegant and smiling as he stood on the arena.
He has always been low-key, but once his abilities are revealed, this low-key demeanor becomes a sign of good manners, which is extremely attractive to some women in the audience who like this type of person.
That's exactly what's popular now, like "A beautiful woman on the road, a gentleman unparalleled in the world," and Xiang Mo fits that description perfectly, always with a calm and gentle smile, as warm and refined as jade.
However, the men below weren't so impressed and were silently cheering for Chen Yang in their hearts.
And so began this battle that was taking place both on and off the stage.
