Chapter 81 Fist is the Fairest Principle (Seeking First Subscription)

The referee announced the draw results, and everyone in the arena immediately looked at Zheng Xuan.

They had all witnessed Chen Shouyi's fate. Zhang Mingde had clearly received orders from the Bagua Sect to kill Song Jin'ao's disciples.

The exchange of glances between the referee and Zhang Mingde during the draw was also noticed by everyone; the draw was clearly suspicious.

Seeing this, Li Ziping frowned and said, "Junior Brother Zheng, they're setting a trap for you. You can't fight Zhang Mingde."

.

"Zhang Mingde, let's see who's better!"

Li Ziping stared at Zhang Mingde with wide eyes, while simultaneously reaching out to block Zheng Xuan behind him.

Don't be fooled by his seemingly strained relationship with Zheng Xuan, always emphasizing that he is the pillar of the Bajiquan sect. When the sect is bullied by outsiders, he naturally starts to band together.

Upon hearing Li Ziping's words, Zhang Mingde's lips curled up slightly as he said, "Junior Brother Li, I know you've become quite skilled, but your opponent is not me."

As he spoke, Zhang Mingde pointed towards the bamboo divination tube, where Gong Ping, the young master of the Bagua Sect and grandson of Gong Ying, stood. Seeing Li Ziping looking over, he waved the bamboo divination stick in his hand, and at the same time, the referee announced, "Gong Ping of the Bagua Sect versus Li Ziping!"

Upon hearing the rankings, a serious expression appeared on Li Ziping's usually confident face.

The Palace of the Eight Trigrams Gate.

This person is a well-known figure. If we're talking about who is the number one among the younger generation in Nanjinmen, then it has to be Gong Ping of the Bagua Sect.

When Gong Ping was learning martial arts, Gong Ying examined his bones and predicted that this boy's future achievements would definitely surpass his.

Later, it was proven that he was an absolute martial arts prodigy. He advanced to the ninth level of martial arts at the age of twelve, entered the eighth level of martial arts at the age of fifteen, and is said to have reached the late stage of dark energy at the age of seventeen this year.

Rumors circulate that he might reach the seventh level of martial arts, the Transformation Realm, before he is even twenty years old.

To reach the seventh level of martial arts sequence before the age of twenty is beyond what can be described as genius. Even the likes of Song Jin'ao and Gong Ying only reached the seventh level of martial arts sequence at the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, or even thirty. Gong Ping's talent is clearly superior to that of the two.

Therefore, although Li Ziping was very arrogant and believed that his strength was second to none, he also felt unprecedented pressure when facing Gong Ping.

Seeing Li Ziping's expression, Zhang Mingde couldn't help but smile and said, "Junior Brother Li, I hope you can withstand a few more moves from Young Master Gong Ping."

Upon hearing this, Li Ziping clenched his fist and said, "Zhang Mingde, you've all planned this out!"

Zhang Mingde chuckled and said, "Otherwise, do you really think you can easily make it into the top four of the martial arts competition? You'll all lose in the next round."

"I want to show everyone in Tianjin, young and old, that none of Song Jin'ao's disciples are any good fighters. Bajiquan is the worst martial art, hahaha—"

Zhang Mingde chuckled, while Li Ziping's face turned extremely ugly. Zheng Xuan's eyes were now chillingly cold, and he too had been truly angered by Zhang Mingde.

Li Ziping and Zheng Xuan returned to their group. After Li Ziping explained what had happened, Song Jin'ao's face turned very ugly. It seemed that everything today was a trap set up by the Bagua Sect.

Li Ziping should be ranked second in strength among this group. Apart from Gong Ping, no one can beat him, including Zhang Mingde who is known for his skill.

However, the opponent directly sent Gong Ping to take action, blocking him from the top four. This was a precise sniping.

As for Zheng Xuan, based on his performance in the previous round, since the Ming Jin martial artist couldn't snipe him, then let Zhang Mingde, who has entered the An Jin realm, deal with Zheng Xuan directly.

Thinking of this, Song Jin'ao's face grew even more grim.

Chunping, standing to the side, gritted her teeth and said, "The Bagua Sect, supposedly the number one in Tianjin, has acted so despicably! Disgusting! Master, shouldn't you speak to Magistrate Liu about this?"

Upon hearing this, Song Jin'ao shook his head and said, "In a martial arts contest, if our skills are inferior, what good will it do to seek help from Magistrate Liu? He didn't do anything like drugging us; he just rearranged the order of the matches. Even if we revealed it, people would just say that our Bajiquan sect can't accept defeat!"

Upon hearing this, Chunping said anxiously, "What should we do then!"

"Then let's fight!" Li Ziping said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Isn't he just Gong Ping? We're both at the Dark Force realm, who's afraid of who?"

Li Ziping gritted his teeth and said. Upon hearing this, Song Jin'ao looked at Li Ziping with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. The Bajiquan school emphasizes fierceness and power, and the most important thing is this spirit.

Song Jin'ao said, "Alright, Ziping, let's fight! Win or lose, once we've fought, it's not a complete loss!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ziping replied, "Master, rest assured, I will uphold the reputation of the Bajiquan Sect!"

"The arena battle has begun. Contestants, please proceed to the arena immediately."

"A-class arena, Zhang Mingde of Bagua Sect versus Zheng Xuan, please proceed to the preparation area immediately."

As the referee called out, Zheng Xuan glanced at Chen Shouyi and said, "Senior Brother, take good care of your injury."

Then he walked step by step toward the arena, but was stopped by Li Ziping on the way.

"Zheng Xuan".

Li Ziping called out to Zheng Xuan, "During the match, if things don't look good, just admit defeat. Zhang Mingde will definitely go all out. I don't want you to end up like our senior brother, crippled. You can't uphold the reputation of the Bajiquan sect, I will!"

Zheng Xuan looked at Li Ziping after hearing this and said, "Alright, if I am no match for him, I will admit defeat."

Li Ziping breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and turned to head towards the Class C arena. At this moment, Zheng Xuan also spoke up, "Be careful too."

Li Ziping didn't speak, but simply turned his head and waved his hand, saying, "Understood."

Zheng Xuan withdrew his gaze and walked step by step toward the Class A arena. When he reached the arena, the audience cheered.

Zheng Jin shouted excitedly from the stands, "Hahaha, Zheng Xuan is crippled! He's crippled! Zhang Mingde just crippled his senior brother, now it's his turn! Just thinking about it makes me so happy! So satisfying!"

"Zhang Mingde, cripple him!"

At this moment, Zheng Jin shouted loudly, while Feng Guiqin beside him also had a smile on her face. Zheng Daguo's expression was inscrutable, and his brows were furrowed.

On the other side, Zheng Lixia heard Zheng Jin's words and nervously clenched her fist, saying, "Master, Xiao Xuan is in danger!"

Zhou Bingyi shook his head with a serious expression and said, "Zhang Mingde's strength should be above Xiao Xuan's. He won't have a good chance in this round."

Meanwhile, the little girl asked nervously, "Will my cousin lose?"

"Zhang Mingde, cripple him—"

Zheng Lixia's family was in a state of anxiety when they heard Zheng Jin shouting loudly. Zheng Lixia, who was already annoyed, snapped, "That's your brother! Shut your mouth!"

99

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jin laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, my brother? He's nothing! I'll shout, what can you do to me?"

"Zhang Mingde, cripple him! Zhang Mingde, cripple him!"

Zheng Jin shouted repeatedly, and his voice echoed across the arena. Zhang Mingde looked at Zheng Xuan and said, "Junior Brother Zheng, it seems you're not very popular!"
