Chapter 265: Garrison Candidates, Martial Arts Enthusiasm, Eve of Breakthrough Wave

The magnificent circular large ceiling;

The blue beast skin carpet covering the entire floor of the main hall;

The forest-white beast bone sculptures of various shapes placed on both sides;

The eight solemn and majestic golden load-bearing pillars;

Hundreds of beast-shaped coal stoves made of pure iron;

The four-legged giant square tripod in the center of the hall;

…………

In the main hall on the top floor of the main building, as soon as Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo entered, they were stunned by the luxurious layout style in the hall.

The Beehive and Yang Dew were not short of coal and iron.

But firstly, they were far from being luxurious to this extent. The iron ore that had to be handed over to Longshan every year was not small, and the remaining iron ore was either used to improve the camp's defense capabilities or to forge weapons and armor, so there was simply no surplus;

Secondly, the moment they entered Xia City, they knew that their own forging craftsmanship and smelting level were clearly far behind Does Da Xia.

"Resources themselves are not as abundant as others, craftsmanship is not as good as others, alchemy, forging, including construction capabilities, are not a little bit behind. In terms of resource allocation and systems, the Beehive is also far inferior to Does Da Xia. In this way..."

Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Yingyuan's mind in an instant. Finally, as if having made some decision, he looked up at Xia Hong on the high seat of the main hall, took a deep breath, walked forward, and bowed:

"Chen Yingyuan, greetings, Leader!"

The deep meaning of Chen Yingyuan's behavior was clearly understood by Peng Bo, who was standing behind him. A trace of complexity flashed in his eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he also walked to Chen Yingyuan's side and bowed respectfully to Xia Hong:

"Peng Bo, greetings, Leader!"

At this moment, there was more than just Xia Hong in the main hall.

Qiu Peng, who had entered first, was already standing to the side. Counting Yu Wentao, Yuan Cheng, Luo Yuan, Meng Yi, Zhu Ling, Zhu Yuan, Lin Kai, Lu Yang, Huang Yong, and Hong Gang, all eleven Frost-Resistance level members currently in Xia City were present.

The originally somewhat noisy crowd, seeing the respectful posture displayed by Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo, immediately quieted down.

The crowd didn't show any surprise, more of it was taking it for granted.

On the contrary, Xia Hong, who was holding a wine glass on the high seat, seeing the two bowing respectfully to himself and hearing this "Leader," had very strong joy in his eyes.

Although in Longyou, the four people including Chen and Peng could already be considered to have joined Does Da Xia and were obedient to his and Xia Chuan's orders.

But Xia Hong understood that this was all because their families were in Xia City.

Letting an ordinary Frost-Resistance level member join Does Da Xia was not a simple matter, let alone the fact that the strength of these four was not weak, let alone the fact that Chen and Peng were both leaders of their respective camps, with status equal to his own.

Whether these four would eventually join Does Da Xia willingly was just an unknown before returning to Xia City.

Xia Chuan deliberately left Chen Yingba and Wu Tianxing in Longyou and let Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo return, clearly on purpose.

As long as these two nodded to join Does Da Xia, the other two wouldn't be a problem!

The actions of the two at this moment undoubtedly already indicated their attitude.

Chen Yingyuan, late-stage Frost-Resistance, 7 bristles of strength;

Peng Bo, late-stage Frost-Resistance, 8 bristles of strength;

Chen Yingba, late-stage Frost-Resistance, 6 bristles of strength;

Wu Tianxing, late-stage Frost-Resistance, 6 bristles of strength.

In other words, from this moment on, these four late-stage Frost-Resistance members could be considered to have truly joined the camp and become members of Does Da Xia.

"Get up. Since you have joined the camp, you must be treated equally in the future. You two should have already hung your names in the Hunting Department. You can create your own hunting teams and participate in the camp's normal hunting life in the future. If you have any confusion, you can go to Qiu Peng and Yu Wentao to understand."

Although Xia Hong was happy, he didn't show too enthusiastic a posture toward the two. After explaining, he waved his hand to signal the two to join the ranks, then scanned the thirteen people present, and then smiled and continued:

"I called you all here this time for two things!"

Yu Wentao and the other nine had already returned home once, and this was the second time he had called them.

"The first thing, Yuan Cheng, you say it!"

Yuan Cheng nodded when he heard the sound, stood out, faced the crowd and said: "My Garrison Department has added three garrison points: Cold Jade, Wu Shuang, and Beehive. Therefore, three garrison envoys need to be appointed. If anyone is interested, you can recommend yourself to the Leader now!"

Hearing this, except for Yu Wentao, Yuan Cheng, Luo Yuan, and Zhu Yuan, who already had positions in the six departments, the other nine all showed intention.

Garrisoning a side outside was certainly stronger than staying in Xia City as an ordinary hunting team captain, whether looking at it from actual benefits or personal status.

The only flaw might be that being outside is not as safe and comfortable as in Xia City.

But these people present, which one didn't come from licking blood on the edge of a knife? Danger was never in their consideration.

Moreover, unlike the Earth-Digging Realm, with Does Da Xia's current development level of the environment, as long as they could ensure the safety of the garrison point, they could return whenever they wanted. It was just that they couldn't stay in Xia City for a long time.

"Leader, Hong Gang is willing to go to Longyou to garrison!"

"I, Huang Yong, am also willing."

"Your subordinate also wants to go."

"Meng Yi also wants to go."

"If possible, Peng Bo is also willing to go."

………………

All nine people actually expressed their intention to go.

Xia Hong smiled without saying a word on the high seat, clearly having expected it long ago.

Yuan Cheng's preparation was even more sufficient. Seeing that all nine expressed their attitudes, he smiled and said: "All want to go, then there is no way. Only competition is possible. Whoever has the greatest ability will go..."

He paused for a moment, then continued: "Garrison envoy, in the final analysis, is to seize garrison point resources for Does Da Xia. How about this, take the next month as the period. Among you nine, the three who obtain the most contribution points can serve as garrison envoys for these three garrison points."

Obtaining contribution points, in the final analysis, is handing over various resources to the camp.

This itself is a way to compare abilities. None of the nine had any objections.

Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo, who hadn't created hunting teams yet, also nodded, already calculating in their hearts to create their own hunting teams quickly.

Xia Hong waved his hand to let Yuan Cheng retreat, and continued: "Next, I will continue to talk about the second thing, which is the martial arts competition next month. The Frost-Resistance level group will be personally responsible by me, so today I will talk to you Frost-Resistance level members who are in the camp first. After Qiu Peng finishes listening, run to Wuyuan, Mirror Valley, and Longyou personally to notify the ten of them, including Xia Chuan, Watching Yue Feng, and Xu Ning."

"Your subordinate obeys!"

Hearing this, everyone's expression vibrated slightly, looking up at Xia Hong.

Qiu Peng had just said in the square below that the rewards for this martial arts competition were something even he was envious of. Everyone was already incredibly curious in their hearts.

Xia Hong smiled, first took out a small red porcelain bottle from his bosom, then poured out thirteen pills, and waved his hand to throw them at the crowd.

As early as the moment the porcelain bottle was opened, the thirteen people who smelled the strange fragrance of the pills had their expressions freeze.

When they reached out to accurately catch the pills, looked down at the spiritual pills in their hands, the fiery red magma-like surface, and sensed the intense craving coming from the flesh and blood in their bodies, their breathing became a bit heavy.

"This... this pill, how does it feel that the medicinal power, compared to jade bone medicine..."

"Very similar, no, not very similar, its medicinal power is stronger."

Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo spoke one after another, immediately attracting the attention of the other eleven people.

"It is indeed. This pill has a stronger medicinal effect than jade bone medicine. Just this smell made the flesh and blood under my skin-membrane react."

"This is several times stronger than the jade bone medicine I ate in Wu Shuang."

"Leader, is this for Frost-Resistance level cultivation?"

Luo Yuan and Yuan Cheng, who had taken jade bone medicine in Wu Shuang before, also successively spoke to confirm Chen and Peng's guess.

Yu Wentao even directly guessed the use of this pill and asked Xia Hong to confirm his guess, his face full of expectation.

"Not bad. This is called Yang Origin Pill. Its function is the same as jade bone medicine, but the effect is three to four times that of it. From now on, Does Da Xia's Frost-Resistance level members won't have to worry about pills for cultivation."

Yuan Cheng's eyes rolled around, and he immediately bowed to Xia Hong:

"Thank you, Leader, for the pill!"

"Hahaha, don't try to be clever. This Yang Origin Pill is too precious, I won't give it to you for free."

Seeing his little thoughts exposed by Xia Hong, Yuan Cheng chuckled twice.

The rest of the people chuckled and continued to look at Xia Hong, waiting for his explanation.

Xia Hong smiled and said: "The refining of this Yang Origin Pill is not simple. In addition to the eleven types of herbs for boiling jade bones, seven other types must be added. These 18 types of herbs are all rare. Therefore, unless you can get more herbs, the output won't be too much in the future.

Currently, the Camp Supplies Department has priced it at 3,000 contribution points per pill. Whether the price can be lowered depends on your ability to provide herbs!"

3,000 points per pill!

Hearing this, everyone's expression was slightly shocked. Except for land and a very small number of weapons, this price was considered the most expensive single item in Does Da Xia currently.

But thinking that the Yang Origin Pill was for Frost-Resistance level cultivation and the effect was several times that of jade bone medicine, everyone's expression soon relaxed again.

It should be expensive!

"Qiu Peng, go notify Xu Ning, Watching Yue Feng, and the others later, and take ten pills to hand over to them. This first pill is a benefit I give you once, and it will only cost you 1,500 contribution points, which will be deducted by the Camp Supplies Department. After you go back, you can take it. Next, I will talk about the grouping of the Frost-Resistance level during the martial arts competition..."

Xia Hong paused for a moment, smiled and continued: "The Frost-Resistance level group martial arts competition adopts a two-by-two elimination system. Because the number of Frost-Resistance level members in Does Da Xia is not large, I will set the rewards for this time more generously.

First: Everyone can get one Yang Origin Pill for every match they compete in, regardless of whether they win or lose. This is the basic reward;

Second: This competition takes the top five, and all top five have extra rewards.

The reward for the first place is: 5 Yang Origin Pills, 30,000 contribution points, a thousand-forged silver-plated weapon, a one-month exclusive Martial Arts Institute cultivation quota, 3 jin of Blood Cold Wine, 100 jin of refined salt;

Second place, 3 Yang Origin Pills, 25,000 contribution points, a thousand-forged silver-plated custom weapon, a one-month exclusive Martial Arts Institute cultivation quota, 2 jin of Blood Cold Wine, 100 jin of refined salt;

Third place, 2 Yang Origin Pills, 20,000 contribution points, a thousand-forged silver-plated weapon, a one-month exclusive Martial Arts Institute cultivation quota, 1 jin of Blood Cold Wine, 100 jin of refined salt..."

The difference between the fourth and fifth place and the third place is not big, 1 Yang Origin Pill, contribution points decrease by 5,000 in turn, and there is no change in the rest.

By the time Xia Hong finished speaking about the rewards for the top five, everyone's breathing became a bit heavier, and their gazes became fiery.

There are only 23 Frost-Resistance level members in total. As long as they compete in one match, they can get one Yang Origin Pill as a reward. In other words, the person who wins the first place will likely have to fight five matches, plus the first place reward, just the Yang Origin Pills will be a full ten.

Ten!

Everyone looked down at the Yang Origin Pills in their hands, their expressions incomparably fiery.

Not just Yang Origin Pills, the highest 30,000 contribution point reward, a one-month Martial Arts Institute cultivation quota, thousand-forged silver-plated weapons, Blood Cold Wine, among the six rewards Xia Hong mentioned, the one with the weakest attraction to everyone was actually the 100 jin of refined salt.

The raw material for refined salt is intermediate beast bones. With more and more intermediate teams in Does Da Xia now, the output of refined salt is naturally getting higher and higher. The Camp Supplies Department had long ago lowered the price from the earliest 500 points per jin to 200 points per jin.

Even so, that reward of refined salt with the weakest attraction, if converted into contribution points, was still a full 20,000 points.

"Top five, must enter the top five."

"Secretary, Director Yu Wen, Peng Bo, Chen Yingyuan, these four are all too strong, likely to sweep the top four. For the fifth, I can still fight for it."

"Strength cannot determine everything. The final rules of the martial arts competition haven't come out yet. I have other ways, must strive to enter the top five..."

"Even if I can't enter the top five, I must hold on for one more match. This Yang Origin Pill is 3,000 contribution points per pill. Fighting one more match is earning 3,000 points."

………………

The thirteen people below had their gazes flickering instantly. Some started calculating whether they could enter the top five with their strength; some wanted to start from the rules to strive for the top five; some sought to fight one more match...

Seeing the reaction of the people below, Xia Hong's smile became even brighter.

It wasn't in vain that he spent so much blood to take out such generous rewards. I hope the first year's martial arts competition can bring him some surprises.

"The specific competition system and rewards for the Earth-Digging Realm and Logging Realm groups will be formulated by Qiu Peng after discussing with Xia Chuan, following my template.

In addition, except for the Frost-Resistance level, the competition venues for the Earth-Digging Realm and Logging Realm groups can be set at the five garrison points below, and let them come to Xia City for the finals, so as not to affect the normal life of the five garrison points."

"Your subordinate will certainly handle it well, Leader, rest assured!"

Qiu Peng nodded. The five garrison points of Wuyuan, Mirror Valley, Wu Shuang, Beehive, and Cold Jade now have a large number of Earth-Digging Realm and Logging Realm members. It's impossible to recall everyone to the camp for a martial arts competition, so sub-venues for the martial arts competition must be set up.

Yu Wentao thought of something at this time and bowed to Xia Hong to suggest:

"Leader, now that there are more and more garrison points and more people outside, can the six departments set up their own branches in the five garrison points below, so that everything doesn't have to be handled back in Xia City, which is too troublesome."

Hearing this suggestion, Xia Hong's eyes lit up, looking at Yu Wentao and saying:

"This suggestion is good, I support it. You discuss it privately and finally give me a charter."

In fact, a mere five garrison points don't need this at all, but as there are more and more garrison points in the future, Yu Wentao's suggestion will be very useful.

Using the six departments to control all the garrison points below, this can be considered the prototype of centralization.

Xia Hong's mind moved slightly, and he had some ideas about Does Da Xia's future development.

"Alright, go do your own things."

"Your subordinate takes his leave!"

Hearing the sound, everyone bowed and saluted, and turned to walk out of the main hall.

………………

Does Da Xia Year 2, May 15th.

If one were to rate the most popular place in Does Da Xia currently, it would definitely be the Martial Arts Institute, none other.

Especially in the four months after the Cold Origin Festival this year, more than a dozen high-level camp members like Yuan Cheng, Luo Yuan, and Qiu Peng all successfully broke through to the Frost-Resistance level in the Martial Arts Hall, making this place even more sacred in the hearts of all Does Da Xia people.

And accompanied by the announcement of the martial arts competition on June 1st, this place became the place with the strongest smell of gunpowder in the entire camp.

The reason was also very simple. Ever since Qiu Peng, the Director of the Camp Supplies Department, returned from Longyou on the 28th of last month, the Martial Arts Institute changed its rules, from trying to take care of everyone in the camp before to now only allowing Logging Realm and Earth-Digging Realm people to enter.

200 quotas, 150 for Logging Realm, 50 for Earth-Digging Realm, and they must be close to breaking through before they can spend contribution points to exchange for the qualification to enter.

Earth-Digging Realm close to breaking through, that is to impact the limit of 30,000 jin.

People in this age group, unless they are some particularly talented ones, are basically around thirty years old. Most of these people are elites or even captains in various hunting teams. They are mature in mind, and even if they are very interested in the martial arts competition, they won't show it on their faces, just silently cultivating.

But those Logging Realm members are different.

Currently in Does Da Xia, the average age of impacting the Earth-Digging Realm has been pulled to around 17, and the youngest is only 14, or even 13.

It is exactly the age of being full of vigor, and the Martial Arts Hall is naturally very lively every day.

Today, it was no exception!

"Xiao Heng, fight me, how about it?"

In the Martial Arts Hall, Logging Realm area, Xiao Heng, who was cultivating, was interrupted by a black-clothed teenager who was about the same height as him and holding a barrier saber.

Behind the teenager stood a beautiful white-clothed girl. One look at her appearance and one knew they were siblings. The girl held a hundred-forged long sword and was looking at herself with a teasing face.

Xiao Heng first glanced at the white-clothed girl, then looked directly at the teenager in front, his brows narrowed slightly: "Zhao Yuankong, Zhao Yuanwu, your little tricks can't hide from me. If you really want to fight me, honestly wait for the martial arts competition next month!"

Hearing Xiao Heng's words, the siblings' expressions sank slightly. After looking at him deeply, they snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Seeing the two turn and leave, Xiao Heng sneered.

The Zhao Yuanwu siblings could be considered the most active Logging Realm members in the camp recently.

Starting five days ago, the two not only fought in the Martial Arts Hall but also challenged Logging Realm members everywhere outside, calling it a challenge, but actually to stimulate those Logging Realm peaks to break through in battle.

The deeper purpose, of course, was to reduce the number of competitors for themselves in the martial arts competition next month. Slightly smart people could react very quickly.

But unfortunately, facing the provocation of the two, there were still people who couldn't help but accept.

For five consecutive days, at least a dozen Logging Realm peaks were tricked. This matter caused quite a stir. I heard that a few people were unconvinced and reported the siblings to Director Qiu Peng, who was responsible for the martial arts competition.

Xiao Heng had been running to his sister's house a lot recently, so he knew a lot of inside information.

I heard that after Director Qiu Peng learned of this, he just smiled it off and said that the siblings' behavior didn't violate any rules, and those who were tricked were all unable to hold their breath, which couldn't be blamed on others.

Thinking about it, these people who hadn't even reached the Earth-Digging Realm were just a group of children in the eyes of Director Qiu. He naturally wouldn't ask about the fighting between children.

But Xiao Heng thought deeper. He believed that Director Qiu Peng's words were not wrong. The fact was indeed so. The Zhao Yuanwu siblings didn't force anyone to accept their challenge. Those who were tricked were indeed unable to hold their breath, which couldn't be blamed on anyone.

Recalling that his eldest sister and second sister called him, Xiao Lin, and several other cousins together and solemnly urged them to wait until after the martial arts competition to break through, Xiao Heng's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Need to be so solemn, what could the reward be?"

That's right, five days had passed since Director Qiu Peng announced the news of the Does Da Xia Martial Arts Competition, but the specific charter of the martial arts competition hadn't been announced yet.

Let alone the rewards.

Everyone knew the rewards were generous, but no one knew what would be rewarded yet.

Suddenly, Xiao Lin ran over panting from the other side of the Martial Arts Hall.

"A-Heng, A-Heng, I found out, I found out..."

His face was full of excitement. He pulled Xiao Heng to the side, lowered his voice and continued: "The Earth-Digging Realm competition system has come out. I heard it's a screening system. Currently, the total number of Earth-Digging Realm members in Does Da Xia is over 4,000. Each person will have 10 initial battle opportunities. According to the number of winning matches, if the number of winning matches is the same, it will be based on the winning time. The top 128 will advance, and then seven rounds of elimination matches will be held to determine the top ten rankings."

Xiao Heng turned to look into the depths of the Martial Arts Institute and found that those Earth-Digging Realm limits were indeed gathered together discussing, so he immediately asked:

"Rewards, have you found out the rewards?"

Xiao Lin immediately said: "It has already been announced, it's posted on the gate of the main building. We can't go there now."

Xiao Heng nodded. It was bright outside now, they couldn't leave the Martial Arts Institute, they had to wait until dark to go to the gate of the main building to see.

"However, I just heard clearly, the reward for the tenth place in the Earth-Digging Realm group!"

"What is it? Tell me quickly."

Hearing Xiao Lin's follow-up, Xiao Heng urged him immediately, his face full of expectation.

"Gulp..."

Xiao Lin first swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then continued:

"Tenth place, 5 Blood Origin Pills, 200 jin of beast blood, 5,000 contribution points, a custom thousand-forged weapon, a one-month exclusive Martial Arts Institute cultivation quota, 20 jin of aged wine, 50 jin of refined salt."

Xiao Heng's face froze instantly, and then his breathing began to accelerate, his gaze becoming incomparably fiery.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but start calculating directly: "50 jin of refined salt, according to the current price of the Camp Supplies Department, 200 points per jin, just this reward is worth 10,000 contribution points;

Aged wine is more expensive, it takes 400 points to exchange for 1 jin, 20 jin is 8,000 points;

A one-month exclusive cultivation quota for the Martial Arts Institute, currently staying in the Martial Arts Institute for one day only costs 50 contribution points, normally it's only worth 1,500, but this is an exclusive one-month quota, that is to say, you can stay here for a month continuously. This value, even if multiplied by ten, is likely more than enough. Let's count it as 10 times;

A custom thousand-forged weapon. If I remember correctly, our camp currently has one with the leader. The Craftsman Department brought out two thousand-forged weapons last month, but the price was set at 12,000, and no one has exchanged for them;

Beast blood is currently 20 points per jin, 200 jin is 4,000 contribution points;

Finally, there are five Blood Origin Pills. I heard from those Earth-Digging Realm members that Blood Origin Pills are spiritual pills that can only be taken after the Earth-Digging Realm breaks through the limit of 30,000 jin and starts using beast blood to reshape skin-membranes. The Camp Supplies Department currently prices them at 700 points per pill, 5 pills is 3,500 contribution points.

Add on the 5,000 contribution point reward.

That is to say, the Earth-Digging Realm group, just the reward for the tenth place, has a total value of..."

"57,500, no, the real value will only be higher!"

Xiao Heng was the first to calculate it out. At this moment, he finally reacted to why his eldest sister and second sister were so solemn before.

Nearly 60,000 contribution points, and it's one lump sum!

This amount of contribution points, even his father Xiao Kangcheng, who is the captain of the Xiao Mountain team, would likely be extremely envious.

"The Xiao Mountain team is already an intermediate hunting team, but on average, the contribution points my father earns every month are only around 2,500. This one lump sum is enough for him to earn for more than two years.

And this is just the reward for the tenth place in the Earth-Digging Realm group!

Then the first place, how much will be rewarded?"

Gulp...

Xiao Heng also couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, his face full of shock and movement.

Of course, what followed was an incomparably fanatical fighting spirit.

The Earth-Digging Realm is like this, then the reward for the top hundred in the Logging Realm will certainly not be bad.

"This is my opportunity. I have already opened up a not-small gap with the geniuses in the camp's first tier. One step slow, every step slow in the future. If I can get such a large amount of resources, plus my father's support, my cultivation progress in the Earth-Digging Realm will accelerate a lot. Maybe I can even catch up with that group of people like Hong Shaojun, Hong Shaojun, Li Yuanqing!"

Hong Shaojun, Hong Shaojun, Li Yuanqing...

These are all people who broke the record for the age of breaking through to the Earth-Digging Realm before. At this moment, the names of these people popped up in his mind. Xiao Heng first clenched his fists, but then realized something, his expression became a bit strange.

"These people now should be regretting to death, right?"

They all broke through to the Earth-Digging Realm not long ago. This martial arts competition will naturally be classified into that group of Earth-Digging Realm. That group of Earth-Digging Realm, those who can compete for the top ten, must be the group who broke through the Earth-Digging Realm limit and started using beast blood. The Hong siblings, Li Yuanqing, these newly broken through ones, basically don't need to think about rankings.

"A-Heng, I see you often running to your brother-in-law's house recently. Do you already know some inside information? If there's anything good, don't forget your brother!"

Seeing Xiao Lin's anxious and expectant eyes, Xiao Heng immediately showed a trace of helplessness.

"Isn't my eldest sister pregnant? My mother boils meat soup for her every day, and she lets me send it over when it's almost dawn. Don't worry, if I really know any inside information, I will definitely not forget you."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin felt relieved and pulled him to continue cultivating.

………………

Behind the main hall on the top floor of the main building, Xia Hong, who was sitting quietly in the room, quietly opened his eyes, with a smile on his face, and shook his head:

"These kids are quite smart. It seems that this wave of breakthroughs will have to wait until after the martial arts competition. But Xia Chuan, this kid, didn't even tell me about such a big thing..."

Xia Hong pondered for a moment, stood up, then turned to look at Xia Chuan's house on the side of the main building. After thinking for a moment, he brought a few things and disappeared from the room.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 266 =====

"These brats are quite shrewd. It seems this wave of breakthroughs won't come until after the martial arts competition. But this brat Xia Chuan, he didn't even tell me a word about such a big matter..."

Xia Hong pondered for a moment, stood up, then turned his head to glance at Xia Chuan's house beside the main building. After thinking for a while, he took a few things with him and disappeared from the room.
