"Patriarch, my subordinates have two options. I don't know if it is advisable or not?" The middle-aged man who spoke earlier said again. This person is shrewd and capable, with little cultivation, but he can be valued by the head of the family, and he is able to participate in such an important meeting of the Sun family, naturally because he has a belly full of ghost ideas.

The head of the Sun family said: "If you have any ideas, just say it."

"The first method is to directly send someone to assassinate Lu Chen tonight and officially break with the City Lord's Mansion. This is the last resort. Second, it is the best strategy to send someone to ask the Young Master Nangong Ping for help."

"Ridiculous, it is absolutely impossible to assassinate Lu Chen, and now we cannot break with the City Lord's Mansion. With the current strength of our Sun family, there is no chance of winning at all. As for asking Young Master Nangong Ping, you put it simply, you think that with Sun Xue's relationship, Can you easily invite the seventh young master of the Nangong family?" Another principal of the Sun family rebuked loudly.

Although Sun Xue is nominally a concubine promised to Nangongping, but because of the relationship of a concubine, I am afraid that Nangongping will not be invited. After all, tomorrow is a special day. The Nebula Sect not only recruits disciples in Shifeng City, but also in Nangong. Xianyicheng of the aristocratic family recruited disciples at the same time, so it is impossible for Nangongping to delay such an important competition because of a trivial matter of the Sun family.

The servant surnamed Zhang did not show any signs of flinching, and he continued: "Second Master doesn't know something, so it's impossible to directly invite Young Master Nangong Ping to come over, but if he were to use the name of our Sun Family to represent our Sun Family Participating in tomorrow's martial arts competition, then Young Master Nangong Ping must be very happy to come. I heard that Young Master Nangong Ping already has the cultivation of the innate realm. With the martial origin of the Nangong family and their detached status in the Nebula Sect, it is not only easy to deal with Lu Chen, even if Lu Chen is killed in public at the competition, the Nebula Sect will not be too guilty."

"Good idea." The head of the Sun family clapped the table and immediately approved the suggestion, "In this way, we can not only gain the favor of the Nangong family, but also eliminate the evil thief Lu Chen."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately understood that this proposal was feasible.

You must know that Sun Xue is about to become Nangong Ping's concubine, so the two families are somewhat related by marriage. Nangong Ping participated in the war on behalf of the Sun family, which makes perfect sense in name. Secondly, the competition in Xianyi City where Nangongping is located is very fierce. Although Nangongping has the strength of the Innate Realm, it is still difficult to win the first place, but it is different in Shifeng City. For, it has been able to firmly win the first place. What's more, if you can represent the Sun family in the battle, you can give the Nangong family a place in the competition. You must know that in such a fierce competition, a place is very precious. This method will undoubtedly increase the relationship between the two families.

The Sun family would not sell such an important place anyway, but Sun Pengcheng was dead and no one could stop Lu Chen, so the Sun family came up with such a solution.

"Send someone to invite Young Master Nangong Ping to come over immediately." The Patriarch of the Sun family gave an order.

 …

Early the next day, the square in Shifeng City became very lively. This was a special day. Even if it was a festival, Shifeng City was not so lively.

For many, this is the only chance to enter the Nebula Sect.

Of course, most of the young warriors, their goal is to become the outer disciple of the Nebula Sect. After all, it is too difficult to win the first place. It is a great joy to be able to enter the top ten and add glory to their family.

On the referee table in the square, there was an old man in green clothes. This man was the elder of the outer sect of the Nebula Sect, and he acted as the referee for this selection test.

Next to the referee's seat, several important figures of Shi Fengcheng were sitting, including the city owner, the head of the Sun family, and others.

The city owner looked calm. He felt that there was no suspense for Lu Chen to win the first place. As for the head of the Sun family, apart from his gloomy face, he stared at Lu Chen from time to time, but he was not nervous and anxious.

There were huge crowds around the square. This grand competition has touched the hearts of many people. All the people of Shifeng City are very concerned about this competition, and many good people have already opened their bets.

"Predict the result of this competition in advance. The one who bets on Lu Chen's first place will lose one out of ten, and the one who bets on Sun Wei's first place will lose ten out of one. Bet soon."

"Wang Mazi, your handicap is really not good. Lu Chen is much better than Sun Wei. Last time I heard that at the entrance of the Heifengling mine, Sun Pengcheng was kicked over by Lu Chen. Sun Pengcheng is not Lu. Chen's opponent, Sun Wei is a piece of shit, if you open this bet, everyone will go to Lu Chen's first place."

"Stop talking nonsense, do you think Lu Chen is the first, you can hold Lu Chen, are you afraid that I won't be able to pay?"

Although Wang Mazi looked rough, he was one of the few innate experts in Shi Fengcheng. However, he is neutral in Shifeng City, neither favoring the city owner nor the Sun family, and has a good reputation among the crowd.

"Okay, I hold Lu Chen, one hundred spar."

"I also bet Lu Chen first."

"I also hold Lu Chen."

.....

A dozen people immediately placed bets, and without exception, all of them bet Lu Chen first. Although the odds are very low, even if they bet a hundred spar, they will only earn ten spar if they win, but Lu Chen's His strength has long been proven, and most people think that it is a sure thing for Lu Chen to win the first place.

However, there were also a small number of people who bet on Sun Wei, and these people had the heart of opportunistic speculation, and the amount they bet was very small.

"Although Lu Chen's strength is strong, it's hard to say things like martial arts. In case of any accident, if Sun Wei can't win the first place, it may not be possible for others. I bet Lu Chen can't win the first place, Wang Mazi, this odds How do you count?"

Wang Mazi sneered and said, "We still lose ten."

"Okay, I'll keep Lu Chen from winning the first place, three spar."

"I'll go, you are too embarrassed to say that there are three spar stones, and you can bet thirty if you have a seed."

"Three spar is not money? Why don't you, Wang Mazi, who is so rich in opening a bank, give me some?" The man immediately retorted.

Before the competition started, there was a lot of noise in the square, especially the opening bet, which was arguing with many good people.

Lu Chen's expression was indifferent, and he didn't listen to everything around him, but Sun Wei's face was flushed with anger. Although he really thought he was not Lu Chen's opponent, it was no doubt that he was talked about by so many people and used it as a joke to belittle him at will. Very annoying thing.

He burst into anger and said, "I'm here to bet too. I'm betting on Lu Chen that I can't take the first place, a thousand spar."

"Yo, Young Master Sun personally bets, you are very welcome, Young Master Sun has a lot of money, we know it, but you should also understand the rules of betting, you must take out enough spar on the spot, otherwise, this bet will not count. "Wang Mazi said.

Sun Wei sneered and said, "Are you still afraid that I'll default on the bill?" He took out a bunch of spar from the storage bag angrily.

After Wang Mazi counted, he nodded and said, "Young Master Sun is really a cheerful person, okay, let's wait for the competition to start."

A thousand spar is already a large amount for Sun Wei, but now that the Sun family has the trump card of Nangong Ping, he dares to make such a big bet.

He had already begun to imagine in his mind that when Nangong Ping came on stage, what kind of sensation would be caused. Not only would Lu Chen not be able to win the first place, but even surviving would be a problem.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"What is Young Master Sun laughing at?" Wang Mazi asked.

Sun Wei laughed and said, "I'm laughing that I'm going to make a lot of money today, and some people may lose their fortunes."

"Hmph, who wouldn't brag? Let's wait and see the result." Wang Mazi was rude. He was one of the few people in Shifeng City who dared not give Sun Wei face.

After three drums, the long-awaited competition finally began.

The old man in Tsing Yi said loudly from the referee's table: "I once again announced the method of selection for the competition. The Nebula Sect recruits disciples in Shifeng City. Those who can enter the top ten can become the outer disciples, and the first place will directly become the inner sect of the sect. Disciple, if the aptitude is outstanding, the elders of this sect may take a fancy to them and accept them as the disciples of the elders. This is a great opportunity for everyone, and I hope you can work harder."

"The rule of the competition is that, until the point is reached, anyone who is beaten out of the ring or voluntarily admits defeat cannot continue to attack, and it is forbidden to kill. Violators will be disqualified from the competition."

"The first match, Su Xuan on the fifteenth vs. Wang Feng on the seventh."

Coincidentally, the first match was Su Xuan's test.

Su Xuan looked around nervously. He had never participated in such a grand competition, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

Lu Chen smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be afraid, the other party has never gone through such a battle. Your strength is much stronger than his, and you won't lose."

This is more than just comfort. Su Xuan is now an acquired martial artist at the peak of the sixth level, and with a high-grade spiritual weapon, even a seventh-level martial artist can fight. In Shifeng City, his strength can definitely enter the top ten.

Sure enough, in the first confrontation, Su Xuan used a set of simple swordsmanship taught by Lu Chen to easily defeat his opponent, causing everyone to be surprised.

"Haha, Su Xuan is Lu Chen's younger brother. That boy has such a strong strength. Is there any doubt about Lu Chen's own strength? I have won the bet this time." Someone said with a big laugh.

"That's not necessarily, until the last moment, there is no proud capital."

There were several matches in a row, each of which was very intense, and everyone cheered loudly, but the old man in green on the referee's bench shook his head.

The city lord asked in a low voice, "Elder, isn't there any talent you like in this competition?"

In front of the old man in Tsing Yi, his identity as the city owner is not enough.

The old man in Tsing Yi sighed and said: "Shi Fengcheng really doesn't have any talents, only the one named Su Xuan seems to be okay, the martial arts he uses seem simple, but he has the taste of returning to the basics, but the old man thinks that his martial arts are highly skilled. People have pointed out that his own talent can only be regarded as above average, not a genius."

"Elder, rest assured, there are still many people who haven't played, and Shi Fengcheng still has talents." The city owner said.

The old man in Tsing Yi shook his head disapprovingly.

"In the next game, Lu Chen will play against Sun Yuan."

With the announcement of the old man in blue clothes, someone below immediately welcomed him: "Lu Chen is here, against Sun Yuan of the Sun family."

"That kid Sun Yuan is not as good as Sun Wei. Losing to Lu Chen is certain. It depends on how many tricks Lu Chen needs to solve him."

Many good people are excitedly watching the battle.

Lu Chen walked into the ring calmly. Of course he couldn't be nervous. As a grandmaster in his previous life, he had never seen any big scenes. Now, with this kind of petty trouble, he couldn't even pretend to be nervous. .
