Imperial City Ruins, opportunities refreshed daily

Chapter 88: The Flag-Grabbing Competition Officially Begins

But after thinking about it, Liu Chengmian immediately felt relieved.

If it were me, I would probably do the same!

The more the eldest prince's family values ​​this competition, the more attention he will receive and the more opportunities he will have.

As long as he can deal with Xu Hao tomorrow, power and wealth will be within his reach.

As for Xu Hao, he was just a rookie. Even without the [Blood Burst Pill] of the Netherworld Sect, he could even compete with the strong men on the Earth List, let alone Xu Hao.

Thinking of this, Liu Chengmian immediately shifted his target. He turned to look at the Earth List expert Zheng Chengshan and said, "Master Zheng, please teach me!"

"Okay!" Zheng Chengshan, a strong man on the Earth List, immediately attacked.

It has to be said that with the blessing of earth-level equipment, Liu Chengmian's combat power has been improved to the extreme.

Even the strong ones who are on the Earth List cannot gain the upper hand in an instant.

The more they fought, the more excited and satisfied Liu Chengmian became.

Now that he can fight against the strong men ranked over 300 on the Earth List, won’t he be able to easily win tomorrow’s match?

Liu Chengmian was even thinking about how he could defeat Xu Hao tomorrow and do it well so that other bigwigs in the faction would give him more resources and power.

He wants to become a celestial being, and he wants to make clouds and rain with a wave of his hand!

Boom boom boom.

While Liu Chengmian was practicing, Xu Hao was snoring soundly, and he slept until dawn the next day.

dong dong dong.

Before Xu Hao got up, there was a knock on the door.

"Son, get up, Lord Tang is here!" Xu Qianzhi's voice echoed outside the door.

Disturbing Xu Hao's peace.

Xu Hao opened his eyes and heard the knock on the door and Xu Qianzhi's call. He had no choice but to get up, wash up a little, and push open the door.

"Boy, why are you still sleeping at this time? Lord Tang has been waiting for you in the reception room for a long time!" Xu Qianzhi said with a wink.

These days he also did some research on Tang Wan'er's identity and background. He found that Tang Wan'er had a very powerful background, not only because of the Tang family, but also because Tang Wan'er was valued by the Ninth Princess.

Such a beautiful girl often came to the Xu family to find Xu Hao, which made Xu Qianzhi have to imagine a lot.

"Got it!" Xu Hao yawned, responded, and walked straight to the reception room.

Originally, he wanted to sleep a little longer to get enough rest.

Now I just have to get up!
Soon, Xu Hao arrived at the reception room.

"Are you still up so late?" Tang Wan'er couldn't help but jokingly say when she saw Xu Hao coming in.

In the last flag-grabbing competition, Xu Hao was almost late, which made her think that Xu Hao was going to give up. In the end, Xu Hao defeated Liu Lu in an invincible manner, allowing the Ninth Princess's family to breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Hao is still so calm and composed now, it seems that he has great confidence in the fight.

Xu Hao took a look at Tang Wan'er and said straight to the point, "You're looking for me for something, right?"

"This is the advance reward given to you by the Ninth Princess. I hope you can fight well!" Tang Wan'er said no more and handed over a long sword placed aside.

Xu Hao knew that this was an advance investment.

Without any hesitation, he reached out and took the long sword.

This is a long sword that is not very wide. It looks very delicate and heavy enough.

The moment Xu Hao picked up the long sword, he had already connected the opportunity divination panel in his mind.

[The Liuyun Blade, meticulously crafted from meteorites, is engraved with numerous array patterns, allowing it to better connect and release its own strength, resulting in a sharp and tenacious edge. Earth Rank!]

Xu Hao took a quick look and was very satisfied.

The Earth-rank long sword was a handy weapon for him right now. Its sharpness and toughness were far superior to the tiger bone sword he had acquired earlier.

This can make his combat power surge again.

"I am very satisfied. With this sword, my chances of winning are better!" Xu Hao drew out the long sword, waved it casually, and directly expressed his feelings.

"As long as you're satisfied!" Tang Wan'er then took out a heart-protecting mirror from her waist and handed it to Xu Hao. "I originally wanted to find you a set of inner armor, but the Ninth Princess has just taken charge of the Pacification Bureau, and the resources under her control are insufficient. This heart-protecting mirror can help you clear your mind and resist attacks from evil spirits. It also has a certain protective effect."

Xu Hao took the heart-protecting mirror, looked it up and down, and then connected it to the virtual panel in his mind.

He would not fully believe what others said, and would check it through the chance divination panel. Only then would he fully believe it.

[This Heart-Protecting Mirror, crafted from precious materials and consecrated by a high Buddhist monk, protects against the invasion of harmful energies and can, to a certain extent, restrain Yin-type abilities. Earth Rank!]

Xu Hao looked delighted.

In the early stages, martial arts are afraid of enemies like ghosts, and do not have much defense against the strange abilities of this system.

Although Xu Hao has the special effect of the Qi and Blood Furnace, which has a certain effect of restraining the Yin system, he is still afraid.

After all, no one knows what effect the strange ability will have.

What if?
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Now, with this heart-protecting mirror, it can’t completely make him immune to the strange abilities of the Yin system, but at least it can make him feel a little more at ease.

When he reaches the heavenly level, which is about twenty days later, he will no longer rely on this thing.

Xu Hao put away the breastplate and placed it on his chest. He immediately patted his chest and assured, "Very good. Now I have 100% confidence!"

Tang Wan'er warned seriously, "Don't underestimate the eldest prince's family. They are capable of anything. Don't take them lightly!"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on!"

"Okay, counting the time, we should go to the training ground!"

"please!"

Xu Hao made a gesture of invitation.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Wan'er and Xu Hao ran towards the palace's guard training ground.

Along the way, Xu Hao chatted with Tang Wan'er.

Soon, the two of them started talking about betting.

This fight was even more attractive than the last one, with many forces participating, which resulted in the odds for both parties in the bet becoming increasingly disproportionate.

Although some people and forces are optimistic about Xu Hao, after some recent rumors, more people firmly believe that Liu Chengmian will win the final victory.

After all, a person's strength and background are good criteria for judging.

Theoretically speaking, if the difference in aptitude and cultivation is not too great, then the longer one practices before his qi and blood are exhausted, the stronger his combat power will be.

In other words, Xu Hao is still too young.

This resulted in Xu Hao's odds reaching 1 to 7.5 due to the publicity of some people with ulterior motives!

"It's so high!" Xu Hao couldn't help but sigh.

After this flag-grabbing competition, he will not only gain a higher status, but also earn a lot of money.

During the period of time that comes, you won’t have to worry about food and drink, so you can use it to enjoy yourself.

As they continued on their way, a large number of people gathered at the Imperial Guards' training ground outside the palace. High-ranking officials from various factions had come...

He said he was showing support, but in reality, he wanted to see if there was any chance to fan the flames, add fuel to the fire, and increase the hatred between the Ninth Princess and the First Prince...
