"Are you sure you want to compete for this martial arts champion spot?"

At this moment, General Zhao stared at Zheng Xuan with a very oppressive gaze, as if a fierce tiger were scrutinizing a sheep.

Zheng Xuan, however, remained calm and composed, saying, "Yes, I want to compete for a spot in the martial arts examination."

Seeing Zheng Xuan's expression, General Zhao suddenly burst out laughing. He then looked at Zheng Xuan and said, "You're really overestimating yourself, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Fine, since you want to get beaten up so badly, I'll grant your wish."

General Zhao then pointed to the fingernail-shaped arena and said, "Get ready, this is the final martial arts competition."

After saying that, Commander Zhao glanced at Gong Ping and gave him a meaningful look. Gong Ping lowered his head and understood that Commander Zhao was telling him not to hold back and to be ruthless.

Having understood all this, Gong Ping didn't say anything more. He looked at Zheng Xuan and thought to himself, "I didn't want to be so ruthless, but unfortunately, we insignificant people are just pawns in the hands of powerful figures."

Despite the fact that the Gong family of the Bagua Sect is one of the most powerful families in Nanjinmen, in the eyes of the bigwigs in the imperial court, they are nothing more than a useful pawn.

Over the years, the Bagua Sect has done many unethical things in order to survive. There's nothing they can do; that's just the fate of ordinary people.

As Gong Ping was thinking this, the A-class arena was ready. At this moment, the referee stepped onto the arena and said, "The battle for the Martial Arts Champion begins. Please welcome Gong Ping and Zheng Xuan from the Bagua Sect."

Then he invited the two of them onto the arena. At this moment, everyone below looked at the two of them, and many people whispered among themselves, thinking that Zheng Xuan was overestimating himself.

However, Zheng Xuan didn't care about any of that. What did it mean to overestimate one's abilities? What was more important than profit than face?

At this moment, Zheng Xuan looked at Gong Ping and could see the purple opportunity prompt above his head. Zheng Xuan thought to himself that as soon as he started fighting, if he felt something was wrong, he should immediately admit defeat. This way, he could obtain the opportunity without hurting himself.

That's actually quite a clever idea.

As Zheng Xuan was thinking this, he saw Gong Ping look at him coldly and say, "Zheng Xuan, I didn't expect you to be so bold as to actually dare to fight me."

Zheng Xuan laughed and said, "Young Master Gong, please don't be like that. I just wanted to come up and see Baguazhang. I don't want to compete with you for the title of Martial Arts Champion. We can just have a symbolic spar. When the time is right, I will concede defeat."

Upon hearing this, Gong Ping's gaze sharpened, and his expression instantly turned ugly. He said, "Are you insulting me?"

Zheng Xuan looked completely bewildered and said, "I—"

"Alright, stop talking. Let's settle this with our fists and feet. I won't hold back."

As he spoke, Gong Ping raised his hand, adopting the Bagua starting stance.

Seeing this, Zheng Xuan was helpless. He couldn't say that he came up just to try his luck, but oh well, he would admit defeat after one move.

As Zheng Xuan spoke, he also assumed the starting stance of Bajiquan.

Magistrate Liu smiled and said, "Winning or losing is not important. What is important is the courage to do things. If you don't even dare to challenge the Martial Champion, wouldn't that be ridiculous and not in line with the temperament of the people of the Baoguo Society?"

Upon hearing this, Commander Zhao's gaze sharpened, and he said, "Liu Jie, your Baoguo is always thinking about overthrowing this and that. Do you know how much hatred you have already incurred, and how many people want to get rid of you as soon as possible?"

"Now that those six gentlemen in your court have angered the Empress Dowager, haven't you thought about your own safety? If the Empress Dowager were to issue an order one day, what kind of annihilation would your Baoguo Society face? Have you considered this?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jie chuckled and said, "Since ancient times, there has never been a reform movement without bloodshed. We members of the Protect the Nation have long since disregarded life and death. What does it matter if we lose one life if it can save China?"

"Heh—save China? With your bunch of pens? You don't even have a single soldier under your command, what makes you think you can save China?"

General Zhao's face was full of disdain. He was a martial artist, and martial artists see things simply: whoever has the bigger fist is the stronger.

Although the Nationalist Party sounds powerful, it is mostly a bunch of pens. For pens to want to overthrow the regime and establish their so-called constitutional monarchy is simply a pipe dream.

They seem to have a slight advantage now because those in power still want to reason with you. But if those in power don't want to reason with you, your lives could be lost at any time. If you're dead, what's the point of carrying out reforms?

Zhao Qian thought for a moment, then looked down at the arena and said, "Magistrate Liu, a strong fist is strong, but that doesn't mean you can change everything just because you have courage. Just like these two people below, Gong Ping's strength is strong, and it won't change anything just because Zheng Xuan has courage."

"In this world, might makes right."

After saying this, Boss Zhao fell silent and stared at the ring.

Liu Jie said, "If I lose, it's just my two hundred silver dollars. But if I win, I can win back the famous gun that you treasure and cherish. It's a fool not to do a business with low cost and high profit."

As Liu Jie spoke, Zhao Qianzong understood his implied meaning.

The two hundred silver dollars referred to the lives of the Nationalist Party members represented by Liu Jie. They gambled their lives, believing that winning would realize their ideal: a constitutional monarchy to save China.

As they said, losing would just mean losing one life; they had taken the gamble!

Upon hearing Liu Jie's words, Commander Zhao frowned and cursed, "A bunch of lunatics."

In Zhao Qianzong's opinion, what could be more important than life?

If you're dead, talking about anything else is just a joke.

This is a clash of ideologies, and regardless of what happens on stage, the battle has already begun offstage.

Zheng Xuan then took a step forward and charged towards Gong Ping, unleashing the "Facing the Sun Palm" from Bajiquan. This palm technique can be considered the softest offensive technique in Bajiquan. Zheng Xuan used this move to attack Gong Ping.

Seeing this, Gong Ping didn't take the attack, but instead retreated to dodge it. Zheng Xuan frowned and said, "Don't dodge, just let me touch you."

Thinking this, Zheng Xuan immediately changed his move to the Oriole Double Claws and grabbed at Gong Ping. Gong Ping dodged again upon seeing this.

Zheng Xuan immediately became anxious. "Why are you always hiding?"

At this moment, Zheng Xuan immediately changed his move: "Ignore the three doors upon entering."

He launched a series of attacks without making any defense, thinking to himself, "Let me touch you. If I touch you and unlock the purple opportunity, I'll admit defeat and won't stop you from becoming the Martial Arts Champion. So, Young Master Gong, let me touch you."

Thinking this, Zheng Xuan blocked all of Gong Ping's escape routes. Seeing this, Gong Ping knew he couldn't dodge, so he waved his hand and unleashed a Bagua Palm.

Zheng Xuan then clashed his palm with Gong Ping's Bagua Palm. In the next moment, Zheng Xuan used the force of the palm strike to retreat wildly, almost reaching the edge of the arena.

Gong Ping frowned, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

How did Zheng Xuan figure out that there was a trap behind his move? If he hadn't retreated so far, Gong Ping could have caught up with a combo and put Zheng Xuan in a passive and vulnerable position.

However, the opponent's leap was so far that it directly destroyed all the traps that Gong Ping had initially designed.

Gong Ping's face was very ugly at this moment. Few people could see through his arrangements, but Zheng Xuan saw through them at a glance. It seemed that he had really underestimated him.

As Gong Ping thought this, he saw Zheng Xuan reach the edge of the arena. He was ready. After checking the mission, he immediately jumped off the arena and voluntarily conceded defeat.

Learn from Wei Datong of the White Crane Sect.

But when he opened the door to opportunity, he was stunned.

[Touch the target, and opportunity will arise.]

[Opportunity Name: Winning the Martial Arts Examination]

[Opportunity Description: The martial arts examination is the most important test in a martial artist's life. Since one has chosen the path of the martial arts examination, one must do one's best in everything to pave the way for one's future martial arts career.]

[Winner of the Martial Arts Examination, Reward: Martial Artist Sequence Seventh Level, Spirit Transformation Pill Recipe for Advancement!]

Tap tap —

Zheng Xuan, who was about to jump off the ring, suddenly stopped at the edge of the ring, his expression quite interesting.

I thought I could seize the opportunity and run away, but who would have thought it would be such an opportunity, winning the martial arts examination!

The reward is so tempting: a formula for advancing to the seventh level of martial arts and obtaining the Transformation Realm pill.

You should know that martial artists who have reached the Transformation Realm can dominate a region. For example, the Gong family of the Bagua Sect, whose patriarch is known as the best in Tianjin, is only at the Transformation Realm.

Song Jin'ao once roamed the Northwest and was known as the Great Hero of the Northwest. He also possessed the strength of a Transformation Realm expert.

In the military, the level of "Transformation Realm" is equivalent to the rank of a sixth-grade commander in charge of a thousand men. It can be said that "Transformation Realm" is synonymous with strength.

However, it is extremely difficult to progress from hidden strength to transformed strength. Many people may be stuck in this state for their entire lives and never be able to reach the level of transformed strength.

Because advancing from Dark Force to Transformation Force requires taking an advancement potion. Of course, the term "potion" comes from the West, while in the East it is generally called a breakthrough elixir.

Many martial artists spend their entire lives searching for the right elixir. Some people have accumulated enough of everything, but they may be missing just one elixir, and thus remain stuck in their original realm for their entire lives. Song Jin'ao once told him that he was able to break through to the Transformation Realm because he obtained a elixir by chance.

However, he was unaware of the elixir formula for advancing from hidden strength to mastery, and if he wanted to find it, who knows when it would take.

Therefore, if Zheng Xuan were given a recipe for a elixir that could directly lead to the Transformation of Internal Energy, he would be irresistible and would have to get his hands on it.

If such a pill formula falls into the hands of a sect, that sect may be able to mass-produce experts at the Transformation Realm using this formula, thus ensuring the sect's long-term prosperity.

If it falls into the hands of a powerful force, that force can mass-produce experts at the Transformation Realm, instantly making that force incredibly powerful.

If such a formula were to fall into the hands of the martial arts world, it would inevitably cause a bloodbath, with even those of higher ranks than Sequence Seven vying for it.

Therefore, this pill formula is, in a sense, more important than a single Spirit Transformation Pill that allows one to break through to the Dark Force and enter the Transformation Force, because there is only one Spirit Transformation Pill, but once you have the formula, you can refine many.

What a huge difference!

Thinking this, Zheng Xuan slowly walked from the edge of the arena to the center, while Gong Ping had no idea what had happened to Zheng Xuan.

He was still frowning and deep in thought as Zheng Xuan saw through his trap, but now he saw that Zheng Xuan's eyes had become incredibly sharp, and his competitive spirit was almost overflowing.

The desire to win was no longer hidden in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Gong Ping paused slightly, frowning. This person seemed different from before.

Meanwhile, Song Jin'ao, who was below the stage, also saw this scene and frowned slightly, saying, "Something's not right. Ah Xuan's aura seems to have become heavier."

Not only Song Jin'ao, but also Zhao Qianzong and Gong Ying, two experts in the Transformation Realm, frowned. Why did Zheng Xuan's aura suddenly become so strong? Something seemed wrong.

While everyone was thinking this, Zheng Xuan suddenly rushed towards Gong Ping. "Sorry, Young Master Gong, I have a reason why I must win this round!"
