Chapter 993: Chapter 993
"Among the families, it’s all about profit. These selfish individuals are all focused on reaping benefits for themselves, each wanting to be the family that controls resource distribution, naturally making it impossible to unite."
Fu Tianbao sighed gloomily.
"Luckily, I serve as the deputy director of the Ming Group. This term, we can’t lay a finger on the controlling family; otherwise, the competition would be too fierce."
Fu Tianyou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Second brother, you can’t say that."
Fu Tianbao shook his head, looking seriously at Fu Tianyou:
"Although you are the head of the Ming Group, second in power only to the family that controls resource distribution, if a family from the Dark Group faction takes over, once they become the controlling family, the resources for the Ming Group will be greatly reduced, which would be quite disadvantageous for us."
"I know, so it doesn’t matter what the other families do. I’ve decided that Tang Xin must be eliminated."
Fu Tianyou said with a chilling aura.
Fu Tianbao nodded, gritting his teeth as he spoke: "The twenty billion loss to the Ming Group, half of which was funded by the Fu Family, while the other families just enjoy our misfortune and don’t feel the pain, truly cannot understand Tang Xin’s hatred."
"Exactly. If it weren’t for the power and resources of the Ming Group, I would really love to see Tang Xin trample the other families underfoot, letting them experience it firsthand."
Fu Tianyou muttered discontentedly.
"Don’t complain anymore. Although there’s discord within the Ming Group faction, we’re ultimately a single faction; if the lips die, the teeth will feel the cold. Moreover, for ourselves, we must eliminate Tang Xin."
Fu Tianbao comforted for a moment, then lowered his head to ask, "Explain the next assassination plan, and I will supplement it, striving for perfection so that Tang Xin can be killed without causing too much turmoil."
The two brothers then began to conspire.
In the contestant restaurant, Long Ao and two others watched Tang Ming, who was like a hungry wolf, in shock, unable to say a word.
By this time, the table in front of the four was already piled with empty plates, all Tang Ming’s work, since the end of the competition, he had been eating non-stop.
Although Long Ao and Wu Xiaoyu were now convinced by Tang Ming’s skill, witnessing this guy’s ability to eat was still feeling...
"Brother, not only your strength is formidable, but your appetite seems even greater."
Long Ao remarked unpleasantly at Tang Ming, feeling it was too embarrassing to be at the same table with such a food bucket.
Wu Xiaoyu also looked embarrassed, fortunate that only these contestants were eating in the contestant restaurant, otherwise, Tang Ming’s eating style would surely attract spectators.
"Can’t help it, the capable eat more."
With a mouth full of food, Tang Ming mumbled unclearly: "Busy with the competition all day, consumed quite a lot of energy, so naturally need to eat more."
"Hey, our energy consumption was quite a lot too, but you seemed to have had it easiest, didn’t even move a hand and knocked down the target."
Long Ao looked at Tang Ming speechlessly, curious as he asked: "How did you do it?"
"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."
Tang Ming smiled mysteriously, utterly unwilling to disclose the Poison Skill to these people.
"Tang Xin is indeed formidable, but surprisingly, Wan Yong from the Wan Family is also a tough character."
Lin Canghai sighed, glancing fearfully at Wan Yong, sitting in the corner eating, "He just roared once, and that Seven-star Martial Master directly spat blood. What kind of martial art is this?"
"Didn’t they already say it was the Lion Roar Skill?"
Wu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Lin Canghai.
"No, absolutely not the Lion Roar Skill. He must have other more concealed attacking techniques."
Tang Ming swallowed, glancing seriously at Wan Yong, "This guy is definitely not ordinary. If you encounter him head-on in the following matches, immediately forfeit; do not try to be brave, understand?"
Lin Canghai and Wu Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, being a level lower than Wan Yong themselves, even after special training they were surely no match for Wan Yong.
"Forget discussing them, let’s research what tomorrow’s competition might be."
Long Ao shook his head, puzzled as he looked at the introduction book in his hand: "Tomorrow morning’s event is a stress response, but what specifically might it be?"
"There are many types of assessments regarding stress response, I truly can’t be sure what specific content the Ming Group will set."
Lin Canghai shook his head, sighed helplessly.
"If it’s indeed stress response, then I, who excel in speed and movement technique, should have an advantage."
Wu Xiaoyu laughed expectantly, having scored zero in the second match, her total score had fallen too far behind, hoping to gain more points in future competitions.
"The road will always be there. Don’t exhaust your minds making wild guesses."
Tang Ming casually pouted, speaking strangely: "If you really want to know the content of tomorrow’s competition, I do have a method?"
Everyone looked expectantly at Tang Ming.
"It’s simple, you can directly ask the contestants from the Ming Group faction, I guarantee they already know all the details of the competition in advance."
Tang Ming grinned mischievously.
The three collectively expressed disdain.
"As I said, eat, eat, don’t disturb me while I’m eating."
Tang Ming rolled his eyes, awkwardly instructed, "If you’re full, then help me get some things, I can’t manage alone."
"You truly are a pig."
Wu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Tang Ming but was the first to get up and help Tang Ming get more food.
After Long Ao and Lin Canghai exchanged glances, they too went to help Tang Ming gather food.
Now, the prodigies from the Long Family, Wu Family, and Lin Family were all convinced by Tang Ming.
After dinner, the contestants each returned to their rooms to rest, rejuvenating for the competition the next day.
The night passed without words; early next morning, after everyone had breakfast, Qin Fang led them into a room surrounded by metal walls and windows.
"Everyone, today’s first round of competition will test your stress response."
Qin Fang stood in front of the large glass window, introducing the room inside: "This is a chamber filled with mechanical hidden weapons, where the cracks and holes in the walls will shoot hidden weapons."
"Wow, what a big setup."
Tang Ming gazed at the room’s layout in admiration: "Plum Blossom Darts, Handheld Sword, Willow Leaf Blade, Mother and Son Darts..."
"As expected, Tang Xin’s eyes are sharp. This Hidden Weapons Room almost hosts all the famous hidden weapons in Martial Arts history. If someone can exit this room unscathed, in the future, they can disregard hidden weapons while traveling the Jianghu."
Qin Fang introduced with a smile.
"Quickly tell us how the contest will proceed. Is it as long as you withstand all the hidden weapon attacks, you can score points?"
Zhao Tianba asked impatiently.
