Chapter 778.
Two days later, the Red Cliff City Martial Hall Competition was officially convened at the great martial arts arena in the center of the city.
The annual martial arts competition was undoubtedly a rare event for the city, and on that day, thousands of city residents flooded into the grand martial arts arena, surrounding the three martial arts rings.
The drums were beating, the flags were blazing, and Red Cliff City had never been as lively as it was at this moment!
According to the rules of the martial arts center competition, each martial arts center could send three martial arts masters to the stage to compete, and the ranking would be determined by the number of victories won.
If they were ranked at the bottom for three consecutive years, they would lose their qualification to open a school and teach.
In the previous two years, Hongyi Martial Arts Center’s record was very bad, and if it didn’t pick up this year, being eliminated from the competition was an inevitable result!
However, Shao Hongcheng, who was sitting on the delegate’s seat, was calm and relaxed, without the slightest hint of uneasiness.
A pavilion master next to him smiled and asked, “Pavilion Master Shao, I heard that your Hongyi Martial Arts Pavilion recently had a teenage genius, so I’m sure you’re sure to win this time, right?”
His voice was quite loud, and all the surrounding martial arts hall masters could hear him clearly, casting concerned gazes one after another.
Things are grouped together, people are divided into groups, the same martial arts center in Red Cliff City, there are also levels of high and low.
The same representative seats, sitting in the front row are the strongest group, the second row is one step behind, and so on to the back row.
Because of the poor performance in the past, Shao Hongcheng sat at the very back, and around him were peers with similar grades, and the competition happened to be the fiercest.
A winning stick, that is, a victory, could decide the fate!
As for the matter of a genius coming out of Hongyi Martial School, many people had known about it for a long time, except that Shao Hongcheng had always kept a low profile, never publicizing and publicizing it outside, and with Wang Duan practicing in the northern mountains, so they understood it in an extremely limited way.
Some people are vigilant, some are suspicious, some are disdainful, and some are hostile …….
Shao Hongcheng, who had become the center of attention, smiled faintly, “Taking your good advice, I, Hongyi Martial Arts School, will definitely be able to get enough winning signatures this time around to continue sparring with all of you in the future.”
Everyone’s faces changed in unison.
Shao Hongcheng was too calm and confident, his tone was more than a sure win, he simply did not put his opponent in his eyes!
Then the question came, was this Hongyi Martial Arts Hall owner really confident, or was he just bragging and pretending?
“Hehe!”
It was at this time that a sorrowful laughter rang out, “Master Shao Pavilion, you can’t talk so full of words, in case you get knocked down from the ring, that would be very humiliating.”
“I won’t bother Pavilion Master Wu with that!”
Shao Hongcheng responded without thinking, “Mister Shao never talks big, if Pavilion Master Wu doesn’t believe in it, then do you dare to bet on it?”
This eccentric fellow was none other than Wu Lei, the owner of the Wu Clan Martial Arts Hall, the arch-rival of the Hong Yi Martial Arts Hall.
The grudge between the two sides could be traced back to decades ago, and had long been unresolved.
The distance between HONG YI Wushu School and WU’s Wushu School was not far, and the strength of the two sides was not far apart, but in the past few years, HONG YI Wushu School had encountered a few troubles and showed signs of decline.
Wu’s Martial Arts Center took the opportunity to override.
Wu Lei and Shao Hongcheng are both peak pith refining martial artists, but Wu Lei’s backing is the Wu family, and his background is much stronger than Shao Hongcheng.
For Shao Hongcheng’s counterattack, Wu Lei immediately laughed coldly and said, “Gambling or not, Mister Wu is still afraid of you?”
“The question is, what do you want to bet? A bet that is too small can be meaningless!”
Shao Hongcheng met his gaze and said aloud, “Isn’t this nonsense? If you want to play, then you’ll definitely play a big one.”
“If I lose, I’ll compensate you for the entire Hong Yi Martial Arts Hall, if I win ……”
“You compensate me thirty thousand jade coins!”
“Dare or not?”
Those surrounding pavilion owners who were watching the game all sucked in a breath of cool air.
This Nima was playing too big!
Thirty thousand jade coins is equivalent to three hundred thousand bone coins, Hongyi martial arts hall although the strength is not strong, but the value of the house and land must be more than this number, Shao Hongcheng is the whole body all bet ah!
Where did he get such confidence?
Wu Lei’s face was uncertain.
This Wu’s martial arts hall owner instinctively feel wrong, Shao Hongcheng’s bottom is too full.
But in front of so many people, and he took the initiative to provoke in front, if this time to shrink, in the future there is what face in the Red Cliff City to mix?
If Shao Hongcheng took Hongyi martial arts school to bet on his Wu’s martial arts school, then he definitely did not do it.
But thirty thousand jade coins was stuck right on Wu Lei’s mental line.
“Don’t dare huh?”
Seeing Wu Lei hesitating, Shao Hongcheng snorted, “If you don’t dare to be a shrunken head turtle, don’t jump out and disgrace yourself!”
Sizzle~
The sound of cool air being sucked in once again resounded from the surroundings.
Shao Hongcheng said this is really too poisonous and ruthless, completely to the face of Wu Lei dead slap.
He was not afraid of offending the Wu family behind Wu Lei.
If Wu Lei can still tolerate this, then it is really the name of “shrinking head turtle”!
“Bet on it!”
Wu Lei really was completely enraged, immediately growled: “words are no proof, make a deed for proof!”
Shao Hongcheng laughed loudly, “Just what I want!”
Both sides immediately found witnesses and then made a betting contract in front of everyone.
This kind of thing is not rare, some usually have disagreements with the martial arts hall in the martial arts competition to bet on the game, also not in the rules of the scope of the prohibition.
Just like Shao Hongcheng and Wu Lei such a play so big, really let people open their eyes!
The matter got so big that it immediately spread, and soon all the representatives of the martial arts schools participating in the competition all knew about it.
Some of them just disdained it as a farce, and some of them developed a strong interest in discussing the root cause of Shao Hongcheng’s bottom line.
Then more circumstances came to light.
It was only then that everyone realized that for this martial arts school competition, Hongyi Martial Arts School had only sent one martial artist to participate!
Wang Duan.
It was said that this martial artist was only sixteen years old, with the status of Shao Hongcheng’s senior brother, and had only arrived in Red Cliff City three months ago.
It was rumored that Wang Dust’s cultivation had already reached the Marrow Refining Realm!
At this point, it was clear to everyone where Shao Hongcheng’s bottom line was, it was just that he was betting his entire fortune and hopes on a sixteen year old, making people feel that it was really crazy.
The vast majority of people believed that the winner of this bet would undoubtedly be Wu Lei.
The bet between the Ivy School and the Wu Clan did not affect the normal convening of the Martial Arts Competition in the slightest.
At the sixth hour, the sound of majestic horns suddenly rang out, spreading to every corner of Chibi City.
The large martial arts arena that had originally annoyed the hustle and bustle was instantly silent, and everyone held their breath as they gazed at a middle-aged man who had just ascended to the center of the martial arts ring.
Zhao Zhenxuan, Red Cliff City’s Lord, an innate powerhouse!
This elegantly tempered Innate had been sitting in Red Cliff for decades, his prestige was unrivaled, and the martial artists present were all in awe, lowering their heads in unison.
“Competition and sparring, point to point ……”
Zhao Zhenxuan’s voice echoed in the large martial arts arena, spreading in all directions and shaking everyone’s heartstrings.
