Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024

Immediately, all the people including Fu Tianbao looked at Wan Changfa, revealing triumphant smiles. No wonder Wan Changfa wasn’t worried about Wan Yong losing, he was already prepared.

Early the next morning, Tang Ming, led by Qin Fang, arrived at a venue similar to a stadium. In the middle of the venue were four equally-sized platforms without railings.

"All contestants, let me introduce today’s competition content and rules."

Qin Fang gathered everyone in the middle of the four platforms and said with a smile, "To save time, we will conduct four matches simultaneously, and after each round, there will be a one-hour break for the contestants to recover for the next match."

Lin Canghai blinked and glanced at Meng Shuangfei, who was wearing a mask. The host’s arrangement had directly excluded Meng Shuangfei.

"I forfeit, I concede all matches."

As expected, Meng Shuangfei was the first to raise his hand and forfeit, then strode to the spectator seats on the edge of the venue and sat down.

Seeing this scene, Qin Fang smiled, "In this way, the remaining eight contestants will have to compete at the same time. Although there are no spectators here, all your actions will be transmitted to the viewing hall for the audience through cameras, so you must try your best."

"Less nonsense, start the competition quickly, how will the groups be divided?"

Zhao Tianba impatiently shouted.

Qin Fang pointed to a large crystal screen in the distance, which showed portraits of Tang Ming and others, with different numbers 1-8 behind them.

"If there are no objections, I will now let the computer randomly allocate the match groups. During the match, only when one side concedes or is knocked off the platform will the winner be decided. Please avoid causing death or serious injury, otherwise, the attacker will be disqualified."

Qin Fang introduced with a smile.

Everyone quickly responded and then stared intently at the constantly rotating portraits on the big screen.

Soon the groups for the first round were decided:

Tang Ming vs. Fu Renjie

Long Ao vs. Wu Xiaoyu

Lin Canghai vs. Zhao Tianba

Qian Bujun vs. Wan Yong

Seeing this group arrangement, everyone was a bit disappointed, the first-round matches seemed to have no excitement.

After the groups were decided, the contestants each stepped onto the platform.

Even before the matches began, several voices of forfeiture sounded simultaneously on the platforms.

Wu Xiaoyu, Lin Canghai, and Qian Bujun all raised their hands in forfeiture.

Qin Fang was surprised, three matches ended before they even started, it seemed too fast, had she known this, the organizers wouldn’t have set up four platforms.

Qian Bujun and Wu Xiaoyu’s forfeitures were simply to yield to their factions’ companions, so there was nothing strange or unusual.

"What’s going on? Just forfeited like that, are you still a man?"

Zhao Tianba was so angry he almost vomited blood, intending to take this opportunity to teach Lin Canghai a lesson, but didn’t expect Lin Canghai to forfeit so easily, it was too frustrating.

"You are a Seven-star Martial Master, I’m a Five-star Martial Master, if I keep fighting with you, then I’d be the fool."

Lin Canghai disdainfully glanced at Zhao Tianba, swaggering off the platform.

Zhao Tianba was furious, even though it was the opponent who forfeited, yet the opponent still looked down on him, it was truly infuriating.

Angry as he was, the competition rules stated that if someone forfeits, the match ends.

Long Ao, Lin Canghai, and Wu Xiaoyu stepped off the platform and gathered together, curiously watching Fu Renjie and Tang Ming, the only ones left on the platform.

"What does Fu Renjie want to do?"

Wu Xiaoyu asked in confusion, "He’s a Six-star Martial Master, does he really want to fight with Group Leader Tang?"

"Who knows what’s going on in his mind, looks like he got disciplined by Tang Xin before, could he have been beaten silly?"

Lin Canghai was also puzzled by Fu Renjie’s intentions.

"Fu Renjie is cowardly and afraid of death, he doesn’t seem like someone with the guts to confront Group Leader Tang head-on, what on earth is he trying to do?"

Long Ao was equally perplexed.

At this time, the most bewildered was Tang Ming on the platform, looking at Fu Renjie in confusion: "You actually want to fight me?"

"Why, is that not allowed?"

Fu Renjie looked at Tang Ming with resentment and said coldly: "I never imagined your strategy would be so similar to ours, companions forfeiting to save strength."

"You people indeed started using your brains, but unfortunately, picking a fight with me is a death wish."

Tang Ming squinted, looking disdainfully at Fu Renjie, this guy simply wasn’t qualified to spar with him.

"Hmph, you underestimate people."

Fu Renjie snorted coldly, yelling with resentment: "I’ll make you pay dearly today, let you know there’s no good outcome for offending me."

"Interesting, let’s see what you’re capable of?"

Tang Ming became interested, assuming a stance, and beckoned: "Come on, show me what you got."

Fu Renjie roared angrily, stomped hard, and rushed towards Tang Ming, conjuring Gang Qi like a gust of wind.

"Overestimating yourself."

Tang Ming sneered, getting up to meet Fu Renjie’s charge, thinking one move was enough to handle this trash.

Both were fast, but Tang Ming was faster!

Before Fu Renjie took a few steps, Tang Ming was already in front of him, raising his hand quickly to strike Fu Renjie’s chest.

Just as Tang Ming’s palm was about to hit Fu Renjie’s chest, Fu Renjie grinned weirdly at Tang Ming.

Seeing Fu Renjie’s strange smile, an ominous feeling rose in Tang Ming’s heart, instinctively wanting to retract his palm.

Fu Renjie laughed eerily, his Gang Qi shattered, but his body didn’t stop charging.

Fu Renjie voluntarily crashed his chest into Tang Ming’s palm, then his body flew out, spewing blood wildly mid-air.

Tang Ming’s eyes widened in disbelief, completely confused about what Fu Renjie was doing.

Fu Renjie hit the ground, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.

Not only was Tang Ming dumbfounded, Long Ao and the others were also stunned.

Zhao Tianba and others sneered repeatedly, looking at Tang Ming with smug satisfaction.

"Host, Tang Xin attacked and severely injured Fu Renjie, he broke the rules."

Zhao Tianba immediately rushed to Fu Renjie’s side, yelling in grief and indignation: "Four ribs broken, internal organs severely damaged, if not treated immediately, there will be life-threatening danger."

"Tang Xin, you hit too hard, this was a martial arts exchange and you acted as an assassin, your heart is condemnable."

Qian Bujun also jumped up, glaring angrily at Tang Ming and shouted.
