Chapter 542: It doesn't seem like much

Xu Tian, who was below the arena, looked at the six secret guards opposite him.

The secret guards had expressions of dissatisfaction. Did a layman really think he could command them and arrange their order of appearance?

Although Butler A Wei had instructed them to obey Xu Tian's orders when they came to the tournament, their hearts were unwilling to submit to a piece of trash who didn't understand martial arts.

You must know that the order of appearance in a team tournament is also very important. Being randomly arranged by a layman like Xu Tian might affect their final results.

"How about..."

One of the secret guards wanted to arrange the order himself, but before he could finish, he heard Xu Tian say casually: "You decide for yourselves."

These secret guards were new, and Xu Tian didn't know their strengths or areas of expertise at all. Rather than arranging it himself, it was better to leave the decision to them.

The few secret guards breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, their contempt for Xu Tian deepened.

As expected, he was a layman who knew nothing.

Xu Tian's behavior was seen as that of a useless person with no achievements in the eyes of the elites from other families.

"I really don't know what the point is of the Tang family sending such a piece of trash to be the team leader."

Someone bold enough whispered.

"If he wasn't going to make any arrangements, even putting a dog there would have been fine!"

"Hehe, maybe a dog could have bitten someone and won a round, but if this piece of trash were put on stage, he probably wouldn't win a single round."

Lu Feifan looked unhappily at Gu Beicheng beside him: "Beicheng, what exactly does Tang Bingyan mean? Is she looking down on our Lu family?"

"How could that be?" Gu Beicheng made an expression of surprise. "The Lu family has a lofty status in the martial arts world; Yan would absolutely not have such thoughts."

"Fine, you say she doesn't have such thoughts, then why send a layman who doesn't know martial arts to be the team leader? This is a martial arts tournament, not a host club selection. Sending such a piece of trash to compete is an insult to the sacred spirit of martial arts!"

From the moment Xu Tian entered the door until now, Lu Feifan's dissatisfaction with Tang Bingyan had accumulated to the verge of erupting.

Although this tournament was private, their Lu family was a martial arts family in Huaxia, and they had invited heavyweights like Iverson and Madam An. Tang Bingyan shouldn't have sent a layman to disgust people, even if she didn't take it seriously.

Lu Feifan had left the banquet early that day and didn't know that Gu Beicheng was the one who initially let Xu Tian be the team leader. Moreover, he looked down on Xu Tian from the start, feeling that he didn't deserve to appear in his carefully prepared tournament at all.

He didn't care what unspeakable deal Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan had, but if he let such a piece of trash lower the grade of this tournament, he absolutely wouldn't let it go.

The Lu family valued martial arts, and Lu Feifan, who grew up in such an environment, naturally worshipped the strong. The only people who could make him submit were top-tier experts; a pretty boy like Xu Tian didn't deserve to appear in the martial arts hall.

He spoke loudly when talking to Gu Beicheng, not caring at all whether Xu Tian could hear him, and the others around him, after hearing Lu Feifan's words, all looked at Xu Tian with playful expressions, waiting to see a good show.

However, Xu Tian acted as if he hadn't heard anything, showing no reaction to Gu Beicheng's words.

His calm performance made everyone around him even more convinced that he was a coward who didn't dare to speak out even when publicly humiliated.

"Sigh, how did the Tang family fall to this point..."

"Even a clay figurine has three parts of anger, but the team leader sent by the Tang family doesn't dare to make a sound."

"He doesn't have the guts to talk back to Young Master Lu; Young Master Lu could kill him with one punch."

"Tsk tsk tsk... truly shameful!"

Just as everyone was gloating and waiting to see Xu Tian make a fool of himself, the six secret guards of the Tang family also decided on the order of appearance.

They decided to let the secret guard with slightly weaker strength go on stage first to test the waters, and then make other adjustments after the results of the first round of duels came out.

The secret guard who was sent out also stepped onto the arena in a few steps and cupped his hands toward Lu Qiang opposite him.

"Tang family secret guard, Li Xiaodao, please advise."

Lu Qiang nodded arrogantly, not taking Li Xiaodao as an opponent at all.

Li Xiaodao was young and vigorous, a trace of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes, and he attacked with his fists immediately.

Li Xiaodao's punching speed was very fast. Although he was the weakest among the six secret guards of the Tang family this time, he was still one of the best selected from the newly appointed secret guards, and he could stand alone among ordinary martial artists.

Plus, he was slighted by Lu Qiang and held a breath of anger in his heart, wanting to prove his strength on the arena. He used 80% of his strength in the first punch he threw.

Seeing his fist whistling and about to touch Lu Qiang's face, Lu Qiang remained calm, not dodging or blocking.

"The Lu family is a martial arts family after all; is the reaction of the disciples taught by Lu Tian Feng so slow?"

Seeing Lu Qiang motionless, Li Xiaodao muttered in his heart.

But just as his fist was about to touch Lu Qiang, a figure flashed before his eyes. The next second, his chest hurt, and he actually took a solid punch.

Li Xiaodao's face twisted in pain, and he retreated more than ten steps before barely stabilizing his figure at the edge of the arena.

Unfortunately, before he could adjust, Lu Qiang's next punch arrived.

This time, he had no power to fight back and was directly sent flying by the opponent, falling heavily under the arena.

"Pfft..." Li Xiaodao fell to the ground and spat out a large mouthful of blood. His brain was blank, and he didn't react at all to what had happened.

"I concede." Lu Qiang looked down at Li Xiaodao from above. This simple admission of defeat was more like a loud slap on his face.

"Lu family's Lu Qiang wins!" the referee announced. "This round of duels adopts the wheel battle method. Within five minutes, the losing side should send another person to fight on stage; overtime will be considered a forfeit."

The Tang family's secret guards scrambled to help Li Xiaodao, who had fallen to the ground.

They didn't expect Lu Qiang, who had the weakest strength in the Lu family team, to be so powerful.

Just now, he dodged Li Xiaodao's attack and threw a punch in one go, so fast that even the Tang family's secret guards below the stage didn't react.

"This person is not easy to deal with." Li Xiaodao wiped the blood from his lips and reminded his teammates.

He was also considered excellent among the Tang family's secret guards.

But just now on the arena, Lu Qiang really made him experience the frustration of being powerless.

Xu Tian, who was sitting in the viewing area, frowned slightly when he saw Li Xiaodao being knocked off the arena.

The strength of this batch of newly joined secret guards didn't seem very good.

If Li Xiaodao had been defeated by an expert, he wouldn't have said anything.

But this Lu Qiang, who knocked Li Xiaodao off the arena in two moves, didn't seem like much either.
