[You sneered inwardly. He really thought there was some kind of expert out there? He suddenly had the idea to introduce Zhu Baowen to Xu Ruohai. That big shot might actually have that kind of power… It was just a fleeting thought. If doing so led to him being targeted, this simulation might be over.]
You politely declined Xu Ruohai's invitation to become the second-in-command of the Qinghe Gang, pointing out several acquaintances of yours and saying that they would temporarily rely on you for support before choosing to develop your career in Qingcheng.
Qingcheng is a fairly large city, as evidenced by the fact that it has three martial arts schools—some smaller cities don't even have one, or only one or two martial arts academies or gangs.
A top-tier martial artist at only fourteen years old would not be ignored anywhere. After hearing in the city that a fighting arena had been set up, seemingly hosting a martial arts competition and inviting guests from all directions, you gladly signed up to participate, hoping to make a name for yourself in this battle.
[The arena is restricted to martial artists under 30 years old. Most applicants are only third- or second-rate; first-rate martial artists are extremely rare. You fought your way through the arena, easily defeating several opponents, and your opponents rose from third-rate to second-rate.]
You recklessly charged forward, unaware of the purpose of this martial arts competition; all you knew was that you would fight fiercely and become famous throughout Qingcheng.
[You fought until the final rounds and discovered that you only had one opponent who was also a first-rate martial artist. You met in the penultimate round and were looking forward to this epic battle. However, after only a few exchanges and before you could even unleash your martial arts techniques, he conceded defeat before you could.]
"I am Zhang Xiaoran, the 'Red Cliff Guest.'" The burly man, with slightly reddish skin and a height of nearly 2.3 meters, clasped his hands in a fist salute and said to you, "I just came to this arena to have some fun and show off my prowess, but since you are so eager, I cannot take away what others desire."
[You understand: This is because they're giving me the top spot to show off, considering my youth, talent, and martial arts prowess.]
I was somewhat moved; finally, someone recognized my potential, instead of someone like Xu Ruohai who only focused on that ethereal "master."
[Since you are the only other first-rate martial artist besides myself to withdraw from the competition, then no matter how tall or imposing the other second-rate martial artists are, they will find it difficult to defeat you, who can project their internal energy outwards.]
Among these martial artists participating in the arena battles, there are none whose foundation is two or three times stronger than that of ordinary people, and who are geniuses with the potential to become Grandmasters. Only such geniuses possess the ability to "fight beyond their level."
You won first place without any doubt, and were then led away with a smile by someone who looked like the head of a large family to receive the award, while the losers in the audience looked at you with envy.
You have received Lin Youbai.
Yun Shou: "???"
You have become the live-in son-in-law of the Lin family and received the prize: a wife.
【you:"???"】
"I'm here to fight and make a name for myself. What's the deal with this arena?"
