Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Zhang Chaoqiang didn't know that even Tan Yue, as an illegitimate child, should have received attention from her father in a family like that. She shouldn't have ended up spending her entire elementary, kindergarten, and high school years with him, an ordinary person.

This is probably also related to his brother.

After all, according to Tan Yue's words, her father was actually an old man who was about to die.

Generally, martial artists who cultivate the Dao can ensure that they will be free from the ailments of ordinary people and live to be a hundred years old. Starting from the seventh level, their lifespan can reach up to 150 years.

The legendary Human Martial Emperor has already surpassed the realm of ten or so levels. He has probably lived for nearly two hundred years now, and is now in his prime, having transcended the lifespan of ten levels, truly reaching between three and five hundred years.

Zhang Chaoqiang could deduce from Tan Yue's short sentence that his father was someone who did not practice martial arts.

Those who cultivate at the spiritual level cannot escape the shackles of the physical body, so their bodies are no different from ordinary people. However, their spiritual level is strong, their brains have advanced thinking patterns, and they can control armor and spiritual tools to arm themselves. Through external forces, they can also obtain power similar to that of martial artists.

From the perspective of martial arts genetics, Tan Tang, who did not practice martial arts, should have been born to Tan Tianlun and a woman who did not have much talent in martial arts.

Tan Yue, on the other hand, is Tan Tianlun and a woman with considerable martial arts talent…

The question is, where is her mother?

Zhang Chaoqiang shook his head. It seemed that he, born under Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei, was the one who should be the most questioning genetics. Why was he subconsciously making this deduction...?

Having roughly figured out what happened, Zhang Chaoqiang didn't ask too many questions about Tan Yue's family. Instead, he asked Tan Tang about it.

"Did Grandpa Chen come up with this method for you?" Zhang Chaoqiang thought to himself that even Old Chen was extremely wary of Tan Tang's strength, so this family situation was indeed a bit tricky.

"No."

"?"

Tan Yue: "Grandpa Chen didn't say anything, he just told me to do my best and try to get a good ranking! I came up with this method myself..."

Children entering puberty always have a lot on their minds.

Otherwise, why would students always be the ones saving the world in cartoons?

Zhang Chaoqiang retorted, "Grandpa Chen is very capable. I believe he can protect you. You don't need to worry!"

"No, that's how it's portrayed in the True Ring Legend. You have to hide your strengths; if you show off too much, your opponent will kill you before you even get started!"

"Zhang Chaoqiang, please help me..."

Zhang Chaoqiang paused, remembering saying the same thing a long time ago. He sent an "OK" emoji.

"Okay, then tomorrow you can hide your talents just like today."

Don't worry, I'm right behind you.

He then sighed at his mother, utterly helpless.

"Mom, could you please stop recommending that Tan Yue watch palace intrigue dramas like 'The Legend of the True Ring'?"

"What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?"

"You've made her suspicious and paranoid; you've ruined Tan Yue's life..."

At night, while trying to sleep, I tossed and turned.

On second thought, what if Tan Yue's father passed away?

Then his entire family business would be distributed to his wife and children.

Even if Lao Chen can protect Tan Yue well, it would not be a good thing for her at such a young age if Tan Yue showed too much combat ability and talent.

His father was truly more fortunate than someone who had a child late in life.

After all, his older brother looked to be in his forties or fifties, and he must be quite shrewd.

After much deliberation, Zhang Chaoqiang decided on the appropriate course of action for tomorrow.

The second day of the martial arts competition was attended by Tan Yue's family and friends.

Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong absolutely had to be there in person to cheer him on.

On the second day of the martial arts competition, 32 students will be selected from each of the 256 participants in each track.

Some of these students entered both tracks simultaneously.

For example, Rongyue, who is in the same class, is a second-level intermediate level cultivator. Although she is somewhat weak in martial arts, she still has nearly 300P of spiritual power.

So she ranked 256th, but it would be difficult to continue in the first year of high school martial arts, because the later the contestants are, the stronger their combat experience becomes, which is far beyond what her students who are proficient in melee combat can compare to.

After a night of deliberation, Zhang Chaoqiang assessed that among all the first-year high school students who were fighting, Tan Yue might be able to rank in the top ten, let alone the unrealistic dream of being number one.

The main reason was my targeted guidance to Tan Yue, which provided very significant help.

Therefore, in the two matches today and tomorrow, he will use his [Beast Scent] and his most outstanding [Combat Experience] to assess Tan Yue's opponent. If the opponent's overall strength is less than Tan Yue's, he will find a way to eliminate the opponent safely without affecting Tan Yue's ability to conceal her true strength.

Because it is, after all, real combat. Sometimes, swords and spears have no eyes. Countless students were injured in the previous day's brawl, so in a normal battle, it is hard to guarantee that Tan Yue might hurt the other party.

Therefore, Zhang Chaoqiang must satisfy Tan Yue while ensuring her safety, thus fulfilling her desire to conceal her true abilities in front of Tan Tang.

At the same time, Tan Yue should also achieve a ranking that matches her strength, so that when the news reaches her father's ears, he will be satisfied. After all, Tan Yue worked so hard to prepare in the beginning, just to show off in front of Tan Tianlun.

Although Zhang Chaoqiang found the preventative measures she learned in True Ring Transmission quite laughable, upon closer reflection, they might actually be somewhat necessary.

The homeroom teacher, Jin Jia, arrived at the martial arts arena early in the morning, looking radiant.

Because everyone knows that in his Class 1 of Grade 11, a total of 25 people entered the top 256 of the Grade 11 Martial Arts Competition, and 19 people entered the top 256 of the Grade 11 Melee Competition.

Among all schools and classes, this school had the most students advancing to the next round.

With this impressive achievement, the wedding invitation on his chest suddenly seemed to gain confidence.

He distributed them one by one to the leaders of various martial arts schools.

For someone's first wedding, the hope is naturally that as many important people as possible will attend.

"Teacher Jinjia, would you like me to sing a song for you on your wedding day and offer my blessings?"

The principal of Leizhou Martial Arts School waved his hand, and his aura exploded like a bomb, filled with an overbearing presence.

To have produced such a class, one should at least show some courtesy.

"No need, Principal Lei, I've already chosen someone, and I wouldn't dare to bother you!"

"Is that the old geezer from your Yuhua Martial Arts School?"

Lei Xiao was just being polite. Of course, he knew that such a momentous occasion in his life should be reserved for his superiors to give him blessings, to show that his superiors were like second parents, and to take the opportunity to express his loyalty.

This is how government agencies are now...

"No." Jin Jia shook his head. In response to Lei Xiao's surprised reaction, he looked specifically at Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei, who were riding ghost fire, among the crowd around the arena.

The two were looking around when they spotted the golden armor and drove up with a beep.

"Teacher Jin, where is the elevator? Let's drive the car up."

"Go in through the passage on your right ahead," Jin Jia pointed out a clear path to the two of them, then asked, "Why did you drive the car down and then up again?"

"It wasn't my idea to come down. That kid Chaoqiang is probably going through a rebellious phase; he insisted on flying us down, and we couldn't stop him..."

As he drove away, Zhang Huolong shook his head and sighed.

Zhang Chaoqiang believes that his parents have rebelled; they were the ones who initially wanted to open the shop, but now they're not happy about it anymore.

So they forced their way into the car, and Zhang, waving his arms and legs, carried the two of them up with the car, making them feel like they had completely lost face...

The time has come to prepare for the start of the competition.

Today is the round of 256 to 32, so seven out of eight people will be eliminated. The remaining 32 people in each track will compete in the final round tomorrow.

Zhang Chaoqiang's main task was to complete Tan Yue's mission...

Each track is determined by a draw.

There's no need to worry about students with a chance to compete for the championship meeting each other early on, because special avoidance measures have been implemented. In the early stages, strong players won't meet other strong players, leaving plenty of suspense in the competition.

The martial arts competition, eagerly anticipated by countless elites in the province, was so important that even when Tan Yue's father was ill, Tan Tang was dispatched to test his strength. This demonstrates the importance attached to the martial arts competition.

But even the next day, Zhang Chaoqiang and his family of three were the only ones present who didn't feel much. Perhaps a lack of participation was one of the important factors?

In the first round of the draw, he was drawn as a customer, and his opponent happened to be a student from Leizhou Martial Arts School.

In terms of spiritual power alone, the customer's 450P is stronger than the opponent's 380P.

However, in terms of combat experience and tactics, the customer completely overwhelmed the opponent.

"I surrender."

As if he had made up his mind, he turned and left. With the referee's announcement, the customer was the first contestant to enter the top 128 among all the tracks on the field. Now he just had to wait for the top 128 to be determined.

Then they will compete for a place in the top 64.

The Hand of God seems to be a family heirloom martial art, because Zhang Chaoqiang discovered that customers did not shy away from their parents when performing the technique.

Even his body remained in a defensive posture, as if constantly avoiding any unexpected situations, his gaze drifting towards his parents' arms…

Just like when Zhu Bobi saw the customer's palm, he felt a deep-seated panic.

Only by personally being defeated by this martial art can one better master a powerful martial art.

It turns out their family is a fighting family.

Ignore them, because the wheel of fortune has turned and it's Tan Yue's turn to draw lots.

As luck would have it, her opponent was also from Leizhou Martial Arts School, and happened to be a classmate of the student who had just been eliminated by the customer.

Therefore, there was also a sense of wanting to get revenge for his classmate.

However, after observing Tan Yue's battle yesterday, the girl was somewhat moved by Tan Yue's combat skills.

However, on a spiritual level, she is in no way inferior.

Tan Yue's opponent this time is at the low level of the second tier in terms of mental level.

The opponent is equipped with a piece of the Flying Roc Armor on the left foot and a piece of the Raptor Armor on the left hand.

Tan Yue, on the other hand, remained the same as before.

He was still using two parts of the Raptor Armor.

During their mutual attacks, Zhang Chaoqiang accurately assessed that the two were at the same level in terms of their mental capacity, but based on his practical experience, Tan Yue was far more formidable than Tan Yue.

Therefore, he estimated that under normal circumstances, the opponent would be unable to match Tan Yue in the course of their continuous battles.

With a series of whooshing sounds, two beams of light attacked continuously. Tan Yue deliberately shot them astray, knowing that even if the opponent didn't use the Flying Roc Armor for short-distance movement, they could probably easily dodge them.

"what happened?"
