Gao Wu: From a poor man in the outer city to a martial saint of the ten directions

Mad Lion Martial Arts School, Green Edge Martial Arts School...

All the well-known martial arts teams in Linghai City have arrived.

With the addition of the members from Qiongding and Chiwu, the number of students participating in this joint elimination tournament tonight is exactly eighty.

Shortly after the group from the dome arrived, the team from the Red Martial Arts Academy also entered through another passage.

The team was led by two middle-aged men wearing Akatsuki uniforms.

However, these two seemed to have little interest in the match!

He didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries with other martial arts schools; he simply found a corner, crossed his arms, and stood there, his attitude appearing quite perfunctory.

Behind them were four Red Warrior apprentices who had advanced in their training.

The most eye-catching one was naturally Shen Gui, who had been beaten unconscious by Wei Xiu's flurry of punches last night.

At this moment, her once wild and pretty face was covered with several bandages, and her right cheek was still slightly swollen.

The person looked a bit like an unwrapped rice dumpling...

"Ahem!"

Just then, two low coughs suddenly came over the loudspeaker in the stadium, instantly silencing the noise.

Above the arena, Liu Song, an officer of the Martial Arts Alliance, was respectfully accompanying a middle-aged man, over fifty years old, with an imposing presence, as he walked to the microphone.

"That's Guo Hong, the vice leader of the Linghai City Martial Arts Alliance!" Lin Qi whispered in Wei Xiu's ear.

"I heard he broke through to the Martial Master level thirty years ago and almost became our mayor! Now nobody knows his cultivation level. I never expected him to come in person!"

As Lin Qi spoke, Guo Hong's sharp eyes swept across the entire room.

That powerful aura instantly silenced the entire venue!

"Tonight is the joint elimination tournament for senior students from various martial arts schools in Linghai City."

He didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"I won't go into the rules; let's just announce the rewards the alliance has prepared for the top three teams in this competition!"

Upon hearing the word "reward," the eyes of all eighty contestants in the audience lit up immediately.

"First place!" Guo Hong held up one finger, his voice booming.

"The alliance will directly issue a guaranteed letter of recommendation for admission to Linghai City's elite key class!"

"Furthermore, their martial arts school will be directly promoted to the league's top martial arts school for the next three years!"

"Second place! No strict requirement of reaching the fifth rank of Martial Artist; promoted to full member of the Martial Arts Alliance! Enjoys all member privileges and benefits!"

"Third place! The reward is a high-grade Yellow-level martial art from the Alliance's martial arts library, along with a month of personal instruction from a renowned martial arts master!"

boom!

The moment these three rewards were announced, the stands and players' area of ​​the stadium erupted in excitement!

"Holy crap! This is an incredible investment!" Lin Qi gasped, slapping his thigh in excitement!

"Old Wei, did you hear that? That three-year reign as the top scorer is absolutely incredible!"

"Once you become the top martial arts school, you'll receive massive amounts of official policies, tax breaks, and preferential allocation of rare materials!"

"If any martial arts school wins first place, the owner will absolutely treat that student like a god when they get back!"

Another well-informed student next to him, his eyes also reddening, swallowed hard and added, "The first place winner is indeed impressive, but I think the second-place alliance member is the most worthwhile!"

"Do you know how difficult it is to become a member of the Alliance? Only martial artists who have opened up at least five meridians are eligible to apply!"

"Furthermore, even for fifth-tier martial artists, the pass rate is extremely low; only martial artists with over ten thousand Yuan Power can be guaranteed entry!"

"Once you become a member, even if you do absolutely nothing all day, you'll receive a fixed monthly allowance of 100,000 yuan!"

"And once you're registered with the alliance, all those big corporations, security companies offering freelance work, and even high-paying official collaborations... they'll all line up to hire you. It's practically a money-printing machine!"

The prizes for first and second place immediately caused the entire audience to erupt in cheers.

As for the third place, it guarantees to teach and master a high-grade Yellow-level martial art, which is an absolutely incredible opportunity that can save an ordinary apprentice ten years of hard work!

Hearing these discussions, several apprentices on the dome who usually followed Huo Quan's lead immediately gathered around Huo Quan and fawned over him.

"Brother Huo! Whether our Dome can take first place and become the top martial arts school depends entirely on you!"

"Exactly! Brother Huo will definitely dominate tonight and secure that guaranteed admission spot!"

Huo Quan was flattered and felt elated. He tried hard to suppress the smugness on his lips and waved his hand in a serious manner.

"Just do your best, that's all!"

"Pah, what a show-off!" Lin Qi rolled his eyes and muttered unconvinced.

"Our Lao Wei also has a chance to win a prize, okay!"

At this moment, Wei Xiu appeared unusually quiet.

His hands were in his pockets, and his brain was working at a rapid pace.

The title of first place is too prestigious. Although the martial arts school will definitely reward them handsomely, it also makes them vulnerable to controversy.

I don't lack the third-ranked martial arts technique right now; trying to do too much at once is counterproductive.

"On the contrary, the second place..." Wei Xiu's eyes flickered slightly.

No military service required, no risks involved, and as long as you don't encounter an extremely rare forced conscription, you can earn a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan for free! There are also various privileges to take on high-paying side jobs!

This is a perfect reward tailor-made for someone who urgently needs money to buy targeted drugs for their mother and nutritional supplements for themselves!

"I'll do my best to secure second place and strive for first!" Wei Xiu secretly set this goal in his heart.

On the stage, after announcing the rewards, Guo Hong turned and stepped off the stage, handing the microphone to Liu Song.

Liu Song coughed lightly and announced the rules for tonight's competition.

"Tonight it's the round of 80 to 10! Opponents will be drawn by lot, two people per group, five minutes per match!"

"Since you are all top students in your final year of high school, and will soon be facing the selection for the elite class, to prevent any irreversible injuries that could ruin your future, tonight's match will be played on points!"

"A hit to a valid target area scores a point. However, if the referee determines that the blow is fatal or crippling, a large number of points will be deducted or the player will be disqualified!"

The words "seriously injured" and "disabled" were used...

The expressions of the other martial arts students in the audience instantly became somewhat strange!

Many of them subconsciously turned their gaze toward the camps of Dome and Red Warrior!

After all, in just the last two days, these two martial arts schools had a brutal record of "one person breaking their nose and being hospitalized, and another being disfigured and unconscious"!

Although it was just about the preliminary group stage, it had already spread throughout the community.

Sensing the gazes around him, Shen Gui, standing in the Chiwu team, stared intently at Wei Xiu with eyes that seemed to be coated with poison!

"Old Wei...that tigress is glaring at you, it's giving me the creeps!" Lin Qi shivered when he noticed the gaze.
