Chapter 162 - 132: Competition, the Gap in Qingshan Village’s Heritage_3
However, since the senior stated the day after tomorrow, it must be then.
Wang Sheng left Yun Xiao behind and then rode away on Big White.
After he left, Zhao Ji, Zheng Xingxian, and Jiang Xiu Cheng also discussed together.
"There’s probably no hope of getting all the Medicine King, but there’s still a chance to get the lotus seeds, we can’t miss it. That lord probably won’t break his word."
"Are you sure it’s him?"
"Whether it is him or not doesn’t matter, we can’t deal with him anyway. We just need to follow the rules," Zheng Xingxian said calmly, knowing it wasn’t important whether it was that Grandmaster, what mattered was that they were no match for him.
"Then let’s follow the rules, but I wonder what the strength of his juniors is like."
"Let’s not talk about this now. I’m thinking of sending someone back to fetch some cultivation resources or Spiritual Medicine as rewards," Jiang Xiu Cheng also offered his opinion.
Zhao Ji and Zheng Xingxian glanced at him and thought it was a good idea.
That lord’s junior would probably not be too inferior; it was the perfect opportunity to take out something to win favors.
Soon, the three of them sent people back to their families to explain the situation, and they prepared an arena.
After Wang Sheng returned to the village, he immediately found the village chief and recounted everything.
"Village chief, isn’t this the opportunity you were looking for?"
"Is there really such a good opportunity, Yun Sheng?" The village chief hadn’t expected that the problem he had been considering would be resolved so quickly.
"Of course, when the time comes, just have everyone from the school go, it doesn’t matter what level they reach, as long as they achieve the desired effects... Oh, and village chief, you can set goals for them too. If they meet them, they get appropriate rewards. You can decide on these."
"Good!"
The village chief made his decision.
Time quickly passed, and before long, it was the agreed day.
The people from the school were a bit nervous but also excited.
They had found out the day before what they were going to do, that they would be fighting against martial artists from those major families.
After so long in cultivation, they hadn’t had many chances to use their martial skills; this was a good opportunity.
The village chief had said, the better their ranks, the better the rewards.
Wang Sheng looked at these children and refrained from saying any perfunctory words.
"Let’s head out!"
Wang Sheng rode Big White, leading the way, followed by the children and some martial artists from the village.
This time along with several village martial artists, the village chief also came, carried by Big White.
Since everyone was a martial artist, they moved quickly and soon reached the location of the Medicine King.
The place had been cleared, and people from the three families were already waiting.
Zheng Xingxian stepped forward again and said, "Senior, you’ve arrived, everything is prepared. Moreover, the three families discussed and have also brought some prizes for the top ten, which are..."
The three families momentarily discussed.
It wasn’t known how many people the senior would bring, so they directly set rewards for the top ten.
Wang Sheng nodded, not saying much.
The prizes included some Spiritual Medicine and a book of Fist Martial Technique.
These prizes were fairly good.
"Let’s go with what you’ve arranged. How many are you bringing on your side?"
Zheng Xingxian respectfully said, "In total, the three families have sixteen people."
For age-eligible participants, naturally, these well-established families had more than just this number.
But unlike Qingshan Village, which cultivated every suitable child, these families only nurtured those relatively talented.
Thus, the three families combined had only sixteen participants.
Wang Sheng had no objections.
"What about the rules? You must have settled on them already?"
"Yes, it’s a drawing of lots, the winner proceeds, the loser is eliminated, deciding the ultimate victor."
The rules were simple, typically for a large-scale event there wouldn’t be such an arrangement as it could lead to issues.
However, for this spontaneous competition, such rules were acceptable.
"Then we’ll proceed like this, you handle it. These are the people we are bringing."
Wang Sheng glanced at the students, who under the lead of Liu Jian’an, walked forward.
Because of becoming martial artists, the students looked older than they actually were, so initially Zheng Xingxian didn’t pay much attention.
It was only during bone checking for age verification that Zheng Xingxian’s expression turned quite peculiar.
This step was actually prepared for the three families, to show Wang Sheng.
But when it was confirmed, he realized that those from Wang Sheng’s side ranged from ten to eight years old and were all martial artists.
What kind of forces are these, becoming martial artists at such a young age, outrageously formidable.
However, he quickly composed himself, as long as the age was below 14 it was fine.
Soon, the age verification was complete, leading to the drawing of lots.
Normally the organizers would arrange strong competitors to be separated, but with Wang Sheng present, people from the three families didn’t dare to cheat, following the rules strictly.
In no time, the results of the draw were decided.
In Qingshan Village’s side, six internal matches were drawn, and the strongest, Liu Jian’an, Wang Lingwei, Zhou Tian, each drew external fights, more so from the other three families.
After a rest, allowing the students to regain their strength, the drawing was completed, and without dallying, the competition began.
All were lower-level martial artists; with 28 participants and 14 matches, the events concluded quickly.
