Chapter 1626: Favored
。"Yes, I had already seen you from afar then." 。“Dao Tian replied, “However, the time was not yet ripe. At that time, I couldn’t meet you… But since I saw you, I wanted to see your strength... So I u...The rules for the martial arts competition to win a bride were simple and brutal.
Anyone can sign up. Once on the fighting platform, the competition can begin. Only physical strength is allowed; weapons and spells are forbidden.
The loser is immediately thrown off the martial arts platform, while the winner remains standing on the platform, waiting for the next challenger.
Thus, an endless cycle of battles.
Whoever stands to the very end, will become the ultimate winner, getting the chance to meet the lord's breathtaking daughter and having a high probability of becoming her husband.
Such a system has obvious loopholes.
The later it gets, the more advantageous it becomes.
But judging from the expressions of these burly men around him, they didn't seem to care much about the order. Each contestant seemed full of confidence and even eager to get on stage.
But, thinking about it, it makes sense.
Since the Lord's daughter likes strongmen, and those who are powerful... then the earlier one takes the stage, and the more opponents they defeat, the more likely they are to gain the Lord's daughter's affection.
Once you become the mayor's son-in-law, you will truly rise to prominence and become part of the upper class.
Moreover, the city lord's daughter was renowned for her exceptional beauty, said to be a breathtaking vision.
Such temptation, no one can resist.
……
The battle on the stage continues.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of bone-jarring collisions echoed continuously, accompanied by the astonished gasps and cheers from the crowd below.
As time went on, the crowd of spectators in the square grew larger and larger.
Meanwhile, more and more contestants were gathering in the waiting area where Fang Yu was.
The strongman standing on the stage now had already defeated five opponents in a row and was receiving cheers from the two to three thousand spectators below.
The contestants ahead of Fang Yu took the stage.
Next it's Fang Yu's turn.
"Bang!"
And at that moment, a muffled sound echoed across the martial arts platform.
"Ah..."
The newly-mounted contestant just tumbled off the fighting stage.
This Shadowman was almost two meters tall, with a powerfully built physique.
I didn't expect it to be so vulnerable.
"Dong Qi! Dong Qi..."
"Looks like you're the mayor's son-in-law!"
"Too strong..."
The crowd below roared with the name of the strongman on the fighting platform, a constant chorus of cheers and exclamations.
The atmosphere was extremely lively.
After all, at this moment on the martial arts stage, the strongman named Dong Qi has already defeated six opponents in a row!
"The next contestant is up."
A shadowy figure, like a referee from the Darkkin, shouted beside them.
In the midst of the roaring crowd, Fang Yu slowly walked onto the martial arts platform.
Seeing Fang Yu standing on the martial arts stage, the crowd below erupted in an uproar!
This kid… he's so skinny, isn't he going up there to die!
The six competitors who were stronger than him before had all been easily defeated by Dong Qi, let alone him.
"Go on, cherish your life!"
"Don't get too cocky, the city lord's daughter isn't someone like you, a weakling, could covet..."
"Dongqi beat him to death!"
Soon, the crowd began to cheer again.
Fang Yu stood on the martial arts platform, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He didn't expect that the first thing he would do after arriving on the upper plane... would be to participate in a martial arts competition for marriage.
“I’ll give you three seconds to live. Jump down by yourself if you want to survive.” Dong Qi chuckled sinisterly.
"You just think I don't want to live, huh" Fang Yu said.
"Well... since that's the case." Dong Qi let out an angry snort, his muscles tensing violently, veins bulging on his neck.
"Wow…"
Upon seeing Dong Qi's muscles bulging on his body, the crowd below let out an exclamation of surprise.
"Die!"
Dong Qi rushed toward Fang Yu, his right fist smashing forward with force.
Fang Yu didn't dodge, raising his left hand with a single index finger.
"Bang!"
Dong Qi's massive fist slammed onto his index finger, immobilizing it completely, as if frozen in time.
"Huh" Dongqi gritted his teeth, pushing his power to the limit, but he couldn't even budge Fang Yu's index finger!
"It's boring."
FANG Yu spoke, lifting his right foot and kicking Dong Qi's abdomen forcefully.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Dong Qi's massive and powerful body flew off the martial stage like a broken kite, soaring dozens of meters away.
The onlookers on that side gasped and scrambled out of the way.
"Bang!"
Dong Qi fell to the ground, smashing a dent in the plaza floor.
And he, his whole person, was foaming at the mouth, fainting.
Everything was silent.
This scene feels like a dream, unreal.
Dongqi, who was more than two circles larger than Bi Fangyu, was defeated like this!
This must be acting, right!
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared intently at Fang Yu on the martial arts stage, speechless.
And just then, a sound of horses' hooves came from afar.
A squad of black-armored soldiers carried a palanquin.
The sedan chair was covered by a curtain, and one could not see the person inside.
"The Lord's daughter, Miss Nora, is here!" someone exclaimed from the audience.
The sedan chair was quickly carried to the outer edge of the square.
"Miss No, said the martial arts competition continues."
At this time, the soldiers ahead of the palanquin shouted loudly.
"The competition continues, the competition continues..." the referee shouted from beside the martial arts stage.
"Stop wasting time, the rest of you get up here." Fang Yu turned and said.
Let's go!.."In the midst of desperate screams, the prince's cultivation plummeted from peak Wu Hua Realm to that of an untainted mortal.Cultivating to the peak of the Wu Hua realm might take several hundred ye...
