Chapter 932
Gong Changming knew that for this kind of event, even if the Thorn Emperor arrived, she would mostly just be going through the motions, sitting in the audience for half an hour before leaving.
"Fine." The Thorn Emperor pursed her lips, her sharp gaze moving away from Gong Changming and looking at Xu Tian not far away.
Zeng Rou, who was standing behind the Thorn Emperor, stared at Xu Tian in disbelief, even rubbing her eyes.
Isn't this lecher the leader of the Azure Wolf Hall? Why did he sneak into the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa again?
And he's dressed so ordinarily, even looking a bit sleazy?
However, she was still very happy to hear Hu Xiaofeng promise to teach Xu Tian a harsh lesson.
Gong Changming is a high-level elder of the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa, and the disciples under him have extraordinary strength; dealing with a lecher is more than enough.
It would be best if he could be beaten to death on the stage directly; that way, he wouldn't be able to come and harass their master again in the future.
At the same time, Su Lao also discovered Xu Tian's figure and took the initiative to walk over.
"Xu Tian, when you go on stage this time, remember not to act on impulse, showing off or being ruthless. If you meet an opponent stronger than you, admit defeat and get off the stage immediately, do you hear me!" His tone was stern, fearing that Xu Tian would encounter danger on the stage due to acting on impulse.
"Yes, I'll remember." Xu Tian nodded in response.
"Little Junior Brother, don't be afraid, we will protect you." A burly young man beside Su Lao said with a smile. "If anyone dares to bully my junior brother, I'll teach them how to behave with my fists!"
This young man was also Su Lao's disciple, named Ni Chuang. Looking at his build, one could tell that this was a strength-based player who wins by force.
Ni Chuang had a good impression of this newly entered junior brother, just because he dared to challenge Gong Changming, Su Lao's nemesis, as soon as he entered the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa.
In his mind, only such a person with spirit is worthy of entering Su Lao's tutelage, just like Yun Mufeng once was.
"Many thanks." Xu Tian smiled faintly and cupped his hands at Ni Chuang.
Although he didn't know Ni Chuang, Yun Mufeng certainly did. Perhaps before he lost his memory, the relationship between the two was quite good.
"Everyone, be quiet. I announce that this martial arts tournament officially begins!"
An old man who was thin as a rail and slightly hunched walked onto the arena with stumbling steps.
"I am the host of this martial arts tournament. The rules of the tournament are the same as in previous years; I believe the newcomers have also learned about them through the newcomer manual."
"The main purpose of the tournament is to spar in martial arts; it is forbidden to use vicious means to hurt or kill people!"
"Next, let's decide the order of appearance and the opponents..."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a staff member walked up with a bamboo tube.
There were bamboo sticks inside the bamboo tube.
The old man first drew one out, took a look, and then read it out.
"Contestant number two."
"Here!" A certain third-tier hunter in the crowd raised his hand in response.
Immediately after, the old man drew another one.
"Number six!"
Everyone looked around curiously, searching for the person who was about to fight contestant number two.
"Here!" Xu Tian stood out from the crowd and walked toward the arena with steady steps.
Seeing the fourth-tier bounty hunter martial arts uniform Xu Tian was wearing, the onlookers couldn't help but shake their heads in disdain.
"A fourth-tier hunter actually dares to sign up; is he here to be abused..."
Although every student can participate in the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa martial arts tournament, hunters below the third tier basically don't sign up.
There are many experts in the villa, and second-tier and first-tier bounty hunters are everywhere; no one likes to go on stage to be crushed.
Therefore, in every martial arts tournament, most of the sign-ups are hunters of the second tier and above.
Before Xu Tian, there had almost never been a situation where a fourth-tier bounty hunter signed up; he was the first.
The hunters under the stage opened their mouths wide in surprise when they saw Xu Tian.
Except for the hunters who happened to be verifying missions in the square that day and knew that Xu Tian had just completed two first-tier missions, the others didn't know his background.
In their eyes, this was just a fourth-tier newcomer who had just entered the villa and was going on stage to challenge those high-level hunters.
At the same time, the guests in the VIP seats had already taken their seats.
Yue Moli came to sit next to Su Lao and listened to Su Lao speak with a faint smile.
And the Thorn Emperor, who was sitting next to Gong Changming, was sitting upright, not even giving him a glance.
If someone followed the direction of her gaze, they would find that her gaze had been fixed on Xu Tian in the distance. When Xu Tian went on stage, her gaze also shifted to the stage.
Xu Tian leaped and easily got onto the arena, and the hunter who was drawn to fight him also walked up from the opposite side.
"Jiang Dahu, number two, third-tier bounty hunter."
The old man hosting the martial arts tournament introduced.
Jiang Dahu looked at Xu Tian's martial arts uniform and the fourth-tier hunter badge on his chest, and raised his eyebrows triumphantly.
His luck in this first round was quite good; he actually drew a fourth-tier hunter. Isn't this a guaranteed win?
It was his first time hearing that a fourth-tier hunter came to participate; is this an experience pack sent specifically for him...
"Xu Tian, number six, fourth-tier bounty hunter."
Following the host's introduction, Xu Tian nodded at his opponent.
"Please advise."
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. A fourth-tier bounty hunter, you have guts to dare to go on stage." Jiang Dahu said with a smile. "But even if you lose, don't be discouraged; there will be opportunities next time..."
Xu Tian didn't speak but loosened his limbs, preparing for the fight.
A third-tier bounty hunter, although one tier higher than a fourth-tier, the gap between the two is not large, and it's just a difference in the number of missions completed.
However, Xu Tian didn't know what level his current skills were at here, so he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy.
Jiang Dahu let out a sharp shout and swung his fist to attack.
Xu Tian held his breath and focused, staring intently at every move of his opponent.
Back in Huaxia, when he was going to learn martial arts from Tang Bingyan's secret guards, he discovered that his speed in remembering moves was particularly fast. He could master many moves proficiently after watching them once. At that time, he thought he had talent in martial arts.
Now it seems that this should be the instinctive reaction of Yun Mufeng, who had practiced martial arts since childhood.
However, from the perspective of the crowd under the stage, they couldn't see Xu Tian's focused eyes at all; they only saw Jiang Dahu's attack, while Xu Tian was stunned on the spot, motionless.
"I said fourth-tier hunters shouldn't be allowed on stage at all. The match just started and he's already scared stiff; how shameful!"
"Get off quickly! Don't waste time!"
A certain third-tier hunter watching the battle booed, which resonated with many people.
Just amidst the laughter of the crowd, Xu Tian suddenly made a move, grabbing Jiang Dahu's wrist quickly and accurately.
Jiang Dahu was taken aback and immediately wanted to pull his arm back, but the next second, he felt the world spinning, his body lifted into the air, and he was thrown off the stage by Xu Tian with an over-the-shoulder throw.
