Chapter 450

"Here's an idea. Today I'll make a prediction or open a betting pool: I bet the Jiang Li Society will achieve ultimate victory!"

"I'll raise the stakes even higher. If anyone can ultimately defeat Jiang Li, and if that person is male, then I will betroth my daughter, Xiao Ning'er, to him."

The moment Xiao Tian spoke these words, the entire hall erupted in uproar.

"He's gone mad."

"He's gone mad! The City Lord has gone mad! Is this a martial arts competition for marriage? He's even wagered his own daughter!"

"My lord City Lord, this is unfair! What if many people defeat Jiang Li?" someone in the crowd shouted loudly amidst the commotion.

A smile appeared on Xiao Tian's face as he said, "Then it will be the ultimate victor. So you who wish to leap straight to the heavens, work hard!"

Xiao Ning'er, standing among the crowd, was so flushed her face seemed ready to bleed.

Li Mengying whispered, "What is your father doing? Is this a martial arts competition for your marriage?"

"Forget it! No matter who wins ultimately, I won't marry!" Xiao Ning'er declared.

Tang Qianqian asked, "Then what if it's Jiang Li?"

"I..."

Xiao Ning'er had originally intended to utter some harsh words, but then she remembered something a witch had said.

If a person speaks words against their true heart, perhaps fate will change.

So for a moment she was left speechless. After pondering for a long while, she said, "As for him, if he can achieve ultimate victory, we'll talk then. I'll consider it, consider it!"

The City Lord Xiao Tian's words shocked all the great figures present.

"My lord City Lord, since you have spoken thus, then I have a proposal!" said the Director of Education.

"Oh—My lord Wang, please speak," Xiao Tian said with a smile.

"It seems the City Lord is extremely confident in that Jiang Li. Then how about this?"

"Let's not restrict it to current students. Let past graduates or anyone under twenty-five, provided they are only at the First Circle or Second Circle realm, be allowed to participate in this competition. If you feel that higher cultivation realms create unfairness, then we can use the Trial Water to compress everyone's level down to First Circle, Level Ten, and then hold a grand competition among the young people. How does that sound?"
