Chapter 999: Chapter 999

Although Wan Yong has a perfect record of retreating unscathed, that was against a bunch of harmless tools. If they were replaced with real tools, it might not be as foolproof.

"Everyone is right; I feel Tang Xin’s request is not excessive at all."

After thinking about this, Wan Changfa immediately changed his tone, looking earnestly at Fu Tianbao and the others:

"After all, this time it’s the organizer’s fault first, and those watching this competition are from the noble class of the Imperial City. If there’s no solution that shows fairness, where would Ming Group’s credibility be, and it would also be embarrassing for our several families."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinchang and Qian Weiguo felt nauseated. This is supposed to be the Ming Group, completely lacking unity.

Once their own interests are threatened, they would immediately change their stance. Now Wan Changfa is worried about his son’s reassessment and would rather support the demands of the Dark Group and others, it’s simply...

"Ahem, I think it should be handled this way as well, after all, the martial arts competition is the most crucial."

Fu Tianbao spoke with reluctance, softly reminding: "Now we in the Ming Group faction still have hope to win, and we still control the upcoming competitions, which gives us a good chance of winning. But if we tear our faces with the Dark Group faction now, we’ll have to resolve problems with force. Hurt the enemy by a thousand, hurt ourselves by eight hundred; you all must think it through carefully."

Zhao Jinchang and Qian Weiguo exchanged a look, worriedly glanced at Meng Xiaolu sitting on the sofa cracking seeds, and reluctantly nodded.

"Alright, we agree to your demands. Please, family heads, don’t be upset, let’s continue the competition."

Fu Tianbao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called to inform Fu Tianyou of the result. Anyway, the Hidden Weapons Room’s procedures are controlled by people from the Ming Group. At most, they would announce on the surface the use of real hidden weapons and secretly switch them to tools, it’s the same.

After Su Tianyu and others returned to their seats, Wu Dao couldn’t hold back a hearty laugh: "For so many years, we’ve always been suppressed by the Ming Group faction guys; who would have thought they’d actually compromise today."

"Indeed, it’s truly delightful. It seems our Dark Group faction family is really going to rise this year."

Lin Qingfeng repeatedly nodded, feeling that forcing the Ming Group faction to compromise was extremely satisfying.

"Everyone, don’t rejoice too soon."

Long Aiyu frowned, his face grave, reminding: "Do you really believe that what happened with Tang Xin was an accident?"

"Of course, it’s not an accident."

Su Tianyu was the first to respond, looking grim as he said: "It must be that people from the Ming Group saw Tang Xin’s potential and wanted to eliminate him in secret. If it weren’t for Tang Xin’s strong power, they might have succeeded by now."

Hearing this, Lin Qingfeng and Wu Dao’s expressions changed slightly, also realizing it was a conspiracy.

"The upcoming competitions are likely to be even more dangerous; we must be mentally prepared."

Long Aiyu narrowed his eyes, seriously reminding.

"Damn it, once the competition starts, we outsiders can’t even reach the contestants, nor can we warn Tang Xin to be careful."

Su Tianyu became impatient, gritting his teeth as he said: "If something really happens to Tang Xin, I..."

"Can you really start a family war over a dead person?"

Long Aiyu interrupted Su Tianyu, asking seriously.

If Tang Xin survives, everything can be negotiated, but if he gets killed by a plot, the Ming Group can easily find a few scapegoats to cover it up, and the Su Family wouldn’t have a justified reason to strike.

"Let’s focus on observing the competition."

Long Aiyu sighed, helplessly saying: "All we can do now is carefully watch the competition, try to spot the Ming Group’s conspiracy in advance, and then call off the competition, there’s no other way."

Outside the Hidden Weapons Room, about ten minutes later, Qin Fang returned.

"Everyone, the higher-ups have decided to agree to player Tang Xin’s request; in the upcoming competition, the equipment in the Hidden Weapons Room will be switched to real items."

After entering, Qin Fang truthfully announced the higher-ups’ decision.

"What? This is unfair, why do we have to face real hidden weapons that can be deadly."

Fu Renjie immediately jumped up; at the thought of those terrifying hidden weapons actually being lethal, his heart already started to tremble.

"Haha, now you know it’s unfair, but was it fair when I faced those hidden weapons?"

Tang Ming kicked the hidden weapons on the ground away, coldly smiling and questioning.

"It was a mistake and shouldn’t count as part of the competition procedures."

Zhao Tianba shouted in disgust: "There’s no need to regard the mistake as part of the competition; if you’re unhappy, go complain. Why should we suffer along with it?"

"I say you two cowards, if you’re afraid to compete, just withdraw directly; we haven’t said a word, and yet you’re whining like crazy."

Lin Canghai sneered in disdain.

No one from the Dark Group had any objections to this; as long as one person from their group scores highly, that’s enough.

Now, with Tang Xin having successfully scored a perfect score, it doesn’t matter whether he or Lin Canghai participates; Zhao Tianba, Qian Bujun, and the others are eager to win, which is why they are reacting so strongly.

"Sorry, this is the higher-ups’ decision, you have no right to object, but you do have the right to choose whether to participate or not."

Qin Fang calmly spoke, smiling as she said: "Every competition has the right for players to forfeit or be eliminated; if you don’t dare to participate, just make it known."

As soon as Qin Fang finished speaking, Meng Shuangfei immediately opened his mouth.

Everyone cast a glance at Meng Shuangfei, not surprised at all; even without switching to real hidden weapons, people from the Meng Family would have forfeited.

Zhao Tianba, Qian Bujun, and Fu Renjie all hesitated; they didn’t want to forfeit so easily, this is a hundred points after all.

"My cultivation of Cross Training martial arts, even without cultivation, my body strength should withstand the blow of hidden weapons."

Zhao Tianba glanced at the Hidden Weapons Room, "But damn, with so many hidden weapons, if one hits my Covering Gate, I’d be in big trouble. Plus, I’m not good with speed and dodging; I can probably avoid only the first two waves of hidden weapons, but the rest would all hit me, it would be painful."

"Finished, finished, now it’s tricky."

Qian Bujun was madly gnawing on a chicken leg, then glanced at Lin Canghai and suddenly laughed: "That bastard also forfeited, and it seems my score is higher than his; there’s no need to show off now. Otherwise, if I get hurt, it would greatly affect my subsequent scores, it wouldn’t be worth it."

While Zhao Tianba and Qian Bujun were contemplating, Fu Renjie raised his hand tremblingly, gritting his teeth as he shouted.

"Haha, weren’t you so arrogant? How come you forfeited so easily?"

Seeing Fu Renjie speak, Tang Ming immediately opened his mouth to mock.
