Chapter 1001: Chapter 1001

"That’s right, the morning’s Hidden Weapons Room competition was a trial, while this afternoon’s game will be actual combat."

Qin Fang got up with a smile.

Long Ao asked eagerly.

"It’s like sparring, but it’s not, because today’s test is mainly about stress response, so this afternoon’s competition is still related to hidden weapons."

Qin Fang smiled, pulled out a document, and introduced, "In the upcoming competition, you will engage in a hidden weapon duel with designated personnel in the Hidden Weapons Room. Also, in three minutes, the number of hidden weapons is unlimited. Your scores will be judged based on the number of times you are hit by hidden weapons and the number of times you hit your opponents."

Wu Xiaoyu laughed and glanced at the expressionless Fu Renjie and others around him, "Are our opponents decided by drawing lots or randomly selected?"

"Neither, it’s determined by your respective family powers for the opponent. Simply put, the Dark Group’s players will fight against the Ming Group’s experts, similar to the fast enemy subjugation before."

Qin Fang introduced very professionally, "Of course, this time the enemies’ abilities are not of Martial Artist level but are masters at your same level. The rules are that besides not being able to use Gang Qi, you cannot have physical contact; you can only attack using hidden weapons."

Lin Canghai’s face slightly changed, and he quickly raised his hand, "If they’re the same level masters, even without using Gang Qi, the hidden weapons they launch will have significant lethality, right?"

"Haha, I’m more concerned about whether the hidden weapons in this round are real or props."

Tang Ming sneered, naturally thinking that the Ming Group would want to kill him and would definitely replace the props with real hidden weapons.

So, when he faced the enemy, the hidden weapons he launched couldn’t kill anyone, but he could very possibly be killed by others.

"Rest assured, after this morning’s events, the organizers are very concerned about safety and fairness, so before this competition, you have the right to check the hidden weapons."

Qin Fang smiled faintly and said calmly, "However, the useable equipment is not props but real hidden weapons, though all participants will wear special protective armor, so even if hit, they won’t be injured."

With these words, everyone had no further objections; although the props became real hidden weapons, with the armor protection, there’s no need to worry excessively.

In the office, Fu Tianyou and Lengzhan were staring at the group on the screen with a cold laugh.

"Director, this time Tang Xin is absolutely doomed. The Eight-Armed Arhat I brought in is the organization’s top hidden weapon expert; his strike will definitely defeat Tang Ming thoroughly."

Lengzhan excitedly introduced.

"Being thoroughly defeated is useless; I want Tang Xin dead."

Fu Tianyou snorted coldly, "Is his armor rigged?"

"Rest assured in my work; I’ve had his armor’s defenses disabled. Once hit by a hidden weapon, he will get injured if not dead, allowing the Eight-Armed Arhat to shoot him like a sieve."

Lengzhan confidently assured.

"Very well, let’s hope this can finally get rid of this thorn; afterwards, replace the compromised armor so no one can find fault."

Fu Tianyou sneered darkly, having exhausted all efforts to eliminate that guy.

"If there are no further issues from the contestants, then let’s officially start the competition. Who wants to go first?"

After waiting for several minutes, Qin Fang spoke leisurely.

"I’ll go first, I’ll go first."

Fu Renjie raised his hand immediately.

Having seen that those who went first in the previous round scored, and those coming later didn’t even have the chance, Fu Renjie wanted to make a bold entrance this time; regardless of the score, it’s better than outright forfeiting.

"Alright, Fu Renjie’s opponent is Liu Yeqing from the Dark Group."

Qin Fang glanced at Fu Renjie, announcing according to the list.

"Willow Leaf Flying Knife, Liu Yeqing?"

Fu Renjie exclaimed, looking grimly, "The Dark Group really looks up to me by sending such a tough opponent."

Tang Ming looked confusedly towards Lin Canghai and others.

"Liu Yeqing is the second-in-command of the Dark Group’s hidden weapons division, specializing in hidden weapon ’Willow Leaf Flying Knife,’ with a Six-star Martial Master cultivation."

Lin Canghai quickly explained.

"Releasing the second-in-command so soon, who will deal with Wan Yong and Zhao Tianba?"

Tang Ming was slightly surprised, voicing his confusion.

"That’s not our concern; the people above should have it arranged."

Long Ao shook his head, worried, "I’m more concerned about who the Ming Group will send to face us."

"Worrying now is pointless; we’ll face whatever comes just like that."

Tang Ming dismissed it recklessly.

Soon, a handsome long-haired youth in a loose windbreaker entered; this was Liu Yeqing, Fu Renjie’s opponent.

"Master Fu, please advise warmly."

Entering the room, Liu Yeqing smiled and greeted Fu Renjie.

"Hmph, spare me your pleasantries; since we’ve taken on the task, no personal sentiment is involved."

Fu Renjie snorted coldly, feeling apprehensive.

Although both were Six-star Martial Masters, Liu Yeqing was skilled in hidden weapons. In a scenario where neither could use Gang Qi, Liu Yeqing was at a major advantage.

"In that case, there’s no need for restraint; let’s see who prevails."

Liu Yeqing laughed and walked sternly into the training room, ready for battle.

When Fu Renjie entered, he saw a table filled with various hidden weapons; these were his tools.

"If there are no issues, then contestants please check your equipment and let the competition begin."

Standing outside, Qin Fang loudly announced the start of the competition with a special microphone.

"Which hidden weapon should I use?"

Faced with a table full of hidden weapons, Fu Renjie was troubled.

Despite being a Six-star Martial Master, attacking targets with daggers in usual practice was already his limit, having not specifically trained in hidden weapons.

Luckily, he previously knew the test content and focused recently on cultivating movement techniques and evading hidden weapons, self-preservation ensured.

After donning a special black protective armor, Liu Yeqing wore his windbreaker over it and smiled in declaration.

Fu Renjie stood at the front of the hidden weapons table with two daggers in hand, turning to look at Liu Yeqing.

"The competition begins; start the timer."

As the words fell, the Hidden Weapons Room’s door automatically closed.

"Master Fu, with your esteemed status, I’ll allow you to make the first move."

Liu Yeqing stood proudly on the ground, looking at Fu Renjie.

"Hmph, spare me the act, I won’t fall for it; show me your skills."

Fu Renjie gripped his daggers tightly, adopting a defensive stance, his expression serious looking at Liu Yeqing.
