Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 212 Large-scale family recognition scene
"Tang Xuanci versus Red Boy!?"

"I was wondering which unlucky guy would face the Holy Infant King in the first round, but I never expected it to be that Tang Monk."

"This is going to be interesting. Do you think they'll choose to rematch with opponents?"

“Red Boy is recognized as the strongest candidate in this martial arts test, while Tang Xuanci is only born with superhuman strength and has barely stepped into the realm of loose immortals. He doesn’t know any magic at all, so how could he be his opponent? Unless, Red Boy has received some benefits and is deliberately letting him win.”

“That’s true. Tang Xuanci only relied on the protection of Buddhism before. Now he dares to come here because he has the protection of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and Marshal Tianpeng. If he really dares to go on stage by himself, I’m afraid he won’t last three seconds.”

"That's right, I think that flower monk will definitely forfeit."

……

Tang Xuanci felt extremely depressed as he listened to the uproar and felt countless gloating and hostile gazes.

Facing Red Boy in the first round was the worst-case scenario he could have foreseen.

As the saying goes, there is no first place in literature, but there is a second place in martial arts.

The martial arts test is the most transparent part of the entire immortal examination. No matter how well you answer the essay questions, it can only raise the lower limit of your score. If you encounter an examiner you don't like, it's incredibly easy for them to find fault and deduct points.

If he only scores 50 on the martial arts test, he probably won't even get an interview for the City God of Wuji Kingdom.
If you don't get an interview, you won't even be eligible for "supplementary recruitment" by other companies, which means you've come all this way for nothing.
If this trip is in vain, even if we wait for the domain exam, it will be two and a half years later...

If you can't step on your right foot with your left, you'll never get to eat celestial food in this lifetime.

Suddenly, a superbly violent, childlike voice boomed through the crowd:
"Damn it, someone must be cheating! Old Li, these silver balls of yours can clearly be controlled; they can be sorted however you want! What else is this but cheating?"

Ah this?
A commotion broke out at the very front of the crowd.

Seeing that this monkey with such a bad record dared to question the Heavenly Court in public, the surrounding humans and demons quickly retreated tactically, keeping as far away from it as possible, fearing that it would go crazy and affect them.

At the top of the jade steps, Venus looked at the old monkey, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, but after a moment he forced a smile and said cheerfully:

"So it's Sun Wukong! Haha, five hundred years have passed, and you're still as impatient as ever."

"This martial arts test lottery is conducted under the watchful eyes of everyone, and is supervised by the immortals and gods of the Thunder Department, so there is absolutely no possibility of cheating."

"You can rest assured."

The monkey said:
"I do not believe!

"How could it be such a coincidence? There were over a hundred people, and that monk just happened to run into Red Boy in the first round?"

"Why don't you let me go up and try? Whatever order you want to roll, I'll roll it for you. Even if those Thunder Gods stare wide-eyed, they won't be able to see any flaws!"

Venus said:
"Hehe, you little monkey, don't be so presumptuous."

"Among the more than one hundred candidates, some are strong and some are weak. Someone will have to face off against Red Boy, won't he?"
"If anyone faces a strong opponent, everyone will accuse them of cheating. How can this martial arts test continue?"

Yes... those who were farther away from the monkeys agreed, although many discerning people could see that there was likely a real problem.

Suddenly, a boastful child's voice rang out:

"Hahahaha, this monkey is really funny. Knowing that his master can't beat me, he actually comes up with this kind of excuse."

The monkey was furious, but then suddenly remembered something, suppressed his anger, and said with an embarrassed smile:
"Hehehe, my dear nephew, don't spout such nonsense."

"Back when your father and I became sworn brothers, you were still nowhere to be found."

"If you really want to be fair, that monk is your elder. Why don't you find another opponent to avoid damaging your family relationship?"

Ah this?

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, thinking to themselves, "Isn't Red Boy's father the Mighty Bull Demon King?"
Are Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King brothers?
I've never heard of that before.

Tang Xuanci thought to himself, "Holy crap, the monkey has this connection?"

Red Boy might not even know that he has also signed up for the City God of Wuji Kingdom. If we can get him to agree to choose a new opponent, that would be great.

But immediately, Red Boy shouted:
"You impudent monkey, what kinship do I have with you? When did my father ever have a brother like you? Don't try to fool me with your nonsense!"

The monkey snorted and said:
"You don't know, before I, Old Sun, caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, I traveled all over the world and went everywhere."

"At that time, I formed a brotherhood with your father and five other heroes, and we were ranked according to our age."

"Your father, the Bull Demon King, is known as the Great Sage Who Overturns Heaven; there is also the Flood Dragon Demon King, known as the Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas; and there is also the Roc Demon King, known as the Great Sage Who Conquers Heaven... But because I, Old Sun, am the youngest, I am ranked seventh and am called the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"

Ah this? Ah this? Ah this! ?
Hearing the names of these outlaws, the entire audience was dumbfounded, thinking to themselves, "Good heavens, are they really that 'honorable'?"
The Bull Demon King used to dare call himself "The Great Sage Who Overturns Heaven"? That name is a billion times worse than "The Great Sage Equal to Heaven"! Impossible.

If he really had such a criminal record, his son would never have passed the background check for the state exam.

Sure enough, Red Boy immediately started cursing again:

"Pah! I've only ever heard my father mention five brothers, including the Flood Dragon Demon King and the Roc Demon King. Where did you, you shameless monkey, come from?"

These words don't cause much harm, but they are extremely insulting.

The monkey could no longer contain its anger and started cursing, even harboring murderous intent towards its "nephew".

Red Boy, young and fearless, didn't take the Monkey King seriously at all.

The celestial beings on the jade steps couldn't stand it any longer and immediately spoke up to stop them.

Seeing that the monkey was agitated, Tang Xuanci was afraid that it would pull out its staff and start swinging it, which would not only fail to clear his name but also turn him into a wanted criminal.

So he quickly shouted "Wukong!" and calmed it down.

After the large-scale family reunion event concluded, the list of contestants was finalized and displayed on a giant red banner that was suspended in mid-air.

The first round of elimination matches will begin immediately.

With a tremor, eight arenas emerged from the boundless plaza.

Everyone gathered around to watch the battle with uneasy emotions. The largest crowd was at the "Li" arena, where Tang Xuanci and Red Boy were assigned.

Accompanied by four immortal proctors, Tang Xuanci, along with Chen Xiaoke, reunited with the Monkey and Pig on the east side of the arena.

The monkey was very hot-tempered. Upon seeing him approach, it used a sound-holding spell and said:

What should we do now?
"You definitely can't beat them in a fight. That damned little monster is heartless and won't agree to a truce later."

"Why don't you just skip it? Wait until the continental exam is over, and see how I, Old Sun, teach him a lesson!"

Tang Xuanci was also frustrated. He snatched the cigarette from Zhu Ritian's mouth, took a deep drag, and remained silent.

Just then, the Halloween gang, led by the middle-aged dragon, all came over.

It turned out that the middle-aged dragon was afraid that the monkey and the demon monk would hold a grudge and ambush them outside Mount Hua after the continental examination. So he brought Princess Wansheng to explain the misunderstanding and apologize.

Although Princess Wansheng was still somewhat arrogant, her attitude towards Tang Xuanci had completely changed. When she mentioned the time when they had impersonated the Taoist priests of Laoshan, her tone was even a little coquettish.

Moreover, her gaze frequently stole glances at Tang Xuanci's three key areas, and she couldn't help but glance at the fat rabbit that Chen Xiaoke was raising.

This little glance not only made Pig Sun-Tian envious and jealous, but it was also caught by the handsome prince consort next to him.

After she finished speaking, the handsome prince consort immediately smiled and said:
“My name is ‘Jiu Shi’, and I am the princess’s husband. I was blind to your greatness and offended the holy monk. Please forgive me.”

"However, I have long heard that the holy monk is born with superhuman strength and has also trained hard to develop a devilish physique, and I am indeed very eager to see it for myself."

"Unfortunately, the Holy Monk is really unlucky this time. He has to fight Red Boy in the first round. I'm afraid he won't be able to witness it."

Hearing these sarcastic words, Tang Xuanci squinted and sized him up.

The middle-aged dragon was startled and quickly changed the subject:
“Red Boy is indeed powerful… By the way, I heard that his mother, Iron Fan Fairy, accompanied him this time. If the Great Sage has a relationship with the Bull Demon King, he may not know, but his mother may very well know.”

After offering a word of advice, he immediately made a tactical retreat, taking his leave with everyone.

Tang Xuanci was in no mood to care about anything else. He felt that what the middle-aged dragon said made some sense. He then looked at the monkey and asked him what his relationship was with the Bull Demon King.
Before the monkey could answer, Pig Daytian interrupted:

"What kind of relationship could there be?"
"Didn't you hear what that kid said? Those guys didn't take this monkey seriously at all."

"The Great Sage Who Overturns Heaven and the Great Sage Who Conquers Heaven, haha, it turns out that he's the only one who takes his drunken boasts seriously."

"Back when we were going against the Heavenly Court, did you see the Bull Demon King and his ilk get involved?"

Tang Xuanci listened in silence. Based on his past experience in the underworld, he also believed that the fake brotherhood between the Monkey King and the Bull Demon King was basically a foregone conclusion.

The monkey's face was gloomy, and its fiery eyes flickered between light and darkness, as if it were seeing many scenes from long-forgotten memories.
