Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Upon seeing Xu Hao enter the martial arts arena, Guan Min grinned menacingly, revealing his true colors like a hunter who had spotted his prey.

"Go all out and let me see what you're capable of."

Guan Min, looking confident of victory, stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Xu Hao with his eyes lowered.

At this moment, he felt that everything was under control, and dealing with Xu Hao would be effortless, but he could wait to play for a while.

"This is too much!"

Xu Hao, who was still acting, suddenly transformed into a hot-headed young man who was easily provoked by a single sentence. His face turned red, and he slashed with his sword.

"Ok?"

This sword light stretched for hundreds of feet, containing an incomparably sharp sword intent, as if it could slice through this entire space.

Guan Min hadn't expected Xu Hao to have such strength. Although he managed to dodge the sword in a panic, he looked rather disheveled.

"court death!!"

Guan Min, who felt that Xu Hao had made him lose face, stopped hiding and took out a huge axe, charging towards Xu Hao like an ancient beast.

The immense pressure surged forth like a tidal wave; if Xu Hao hadn't been strong enough, this aura alone would have been enough to crush him.

"Broken Mountain!!"

Guan Min swung his giant axe down, and a massive axe suddenly appeared above Xu Hao, slamming down with unparalleled terrifying power.

The giant axe fell without any hindrance.

Unfortunately, Xu Hao had already disappeared.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

As Xu Hao brandished his longsword, sword shadows began to appear around him, swirling and spinning above him, forming a tornado of sword shadows.

The tornado grew stronger and stronger, and soon the entire arena was filled with sword shadows.

"Such methods exist! It seems I underestimated you!!"

Guan Min was somewhat taken aback, but he quickly put away his contempt and suddenly exerted his strength, swinging the giant axe in his hand with the momentum of splitting the heavens and earth.

"go!!"

With a flick of his sword, Xu Hao unleashed a flurry of sword shadows that coalesced into a gigantic green serpent, hurtling towards Guan Min from all directions and arriving in an instant.

"Clang clang clang!!"

Sword shadows clashed with the giant axe, producing crisp sounds, and invisible sound waves spread outwards, like raindrops falling into a calm lake.

"Hmph, all show and no substance!"

Guan Min unleashed several consecutive axe strikes, shattering and blasting away all the sword shadows in the sky with sheer force.

Little did they know, Xu Hao had held back at the end of his move, only unleashing 20% ​​of its power.

Xu Hao remained calm and unhurried, unleashing a variety of sword techniques in succession.

At this moment, he was not only acting, but also using Guan Min as his free sparring partner to hone his martial arts skills and techniques.

At first glance, it seems that Xu Hao has no way to deal with Guan Min.

Only a careful observer would notice that although Guan Min could withstand every move of Xu Hao, he was always on the defensive and had no opportunity to attack.

So at first glance, the situation seems to favor Guan Min, but upon closer inspection, it turns out that Xu Hao holds the initiative.

It took the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Guan Min yawned and said, "Alright, I've had enough fun with you. It's time to send you on your way."

He glanced at Jin Tianlu not far below the stage, his tiger-like eyes filled with murderous intent.

"drink!!"

Guan Min gripped the giant axe tightly with both hands, mobilized all his true energy, and cleaved it down from above.

The giant axe, as large as a small mountain, fell with terrifying pressure.

Now, even if there were a towering mountain in front of us, it would be cleaved in two by this axe.

Seeing that his opponent was using a special move, Xu Hao had no choice but to reveal some of his hidden strength.

"Sword dances across the sky!"

A dazzling sword light suddenly appeared and flashed by.

"puff!!"

Before Guan Min could react, the sword light was already within reach.

"Do not!!"

Guan Min, unable to dodge or defend himself, stared wide-eyed as the dazzling sword light, as bright as day, passed right through his body.

The training ground suddenly fell silent.

"boom!!"

"Clang..."

Guan Min's body fell from the sky as if it had lost its support, crashing onto the floor of the martial arts arena, followed by the axe in his hand.

Just a moment ago he was invincible, but now he lay on the ground like a dead dog, his eyes filled with disbelief and regret.

Xu Hao looked exhausted and staggered as he fell, unable to even stand. If Jin Tianlu hadn't stepped forward to help him, he would have definitely fallen headfirst to the ground.

"Are you alright, brother?" Jin Tianlu asked with concern, his expression quite complicated.

He truly hadn't expected that Xu Hao would actually kill Guan Min, bypassing two levels of defense!

This shocked and surprised Jin Tianlu, but also filled him with a deep sense of grief.

He was filled with resentment, resenting himself for only betting one hundred high-grade spirit stones! Why didn't he bet four hundred like Xu Hao?!

In that case, with a 1:6 odds payout, you'd directly earn 2,400 high-grade spirit stones!

Jin Tianlu cried out in his heart, "Oh my god! What did I miss?!"

"It's nothing, I'm just exhausted."

Xu Hao, his face deathly pale, replied with a single sentence. His weakened state made it seem as if he had overdrawn his own power to use a technique beyond his capabilities.

This way, even if he encounters opponents of the same or even stronger level later on, his odds will still be very high.

How much money Xu Hao can earn in this selection competition depends not only on his talent but also on his acting skills.

“You’re really pushing yourself too hard,” Jin Tianlu replied.

He thought Xu Hao was just saying he would go all out, and that sometimes the difference in strength was too great, so going all out wouldn't make a difference.

Who would have thought he was so fierce?!

You're so capable, why didn't you say so earlier?!

Xu Hao pointed to the opening position.

Jin Tianlu understood immediately and helped him over to collect the spirit stones he had bet on.

Jin Tianlu bet 100 yuan and made 600 yuan.

Xu Hao bet 400 yuan and earned 2,400 high-grade spirit stones.

He now understood why so many people were placing bets; if they won, it would be a huge windfall.

If it weren't for wanting to keep a low profile and avoid making the bookies angry, Xu Hao would have bet his entire fortune.

Although Jin Tianlu made a profit himself, he felt heartbroken when he saw Xu Hao's bag of high-grade spirit stones.

"Brother, from now on, whatever you bet on, I'll definitely bet with you!!"

Xu Hao waved his hand.

"Please don't. I can be impulsive sometimes. Luckily, Guan Min was too careless, which gave me an opportunity. Otherwise, our five hundred high-grade spirit stones would have been wasted."

Jin Tianlu said, "As long as you win, you are strong."

They waited a while, and Xu Hao's next opponent appeared.

Seeing that the other person was at the same level as Xu Hao, both of them breathed a long sigh of relief.

Jin Tianlu felt that if Xu Hao encountered another powerful enemy, he might be in grave danger in his current state.

Xu Hao, on the other hand, is simply acting.

There are many participants in the selection competition, and 99% of them are at the Heavenly Palace Realm, so it's normal to encounter people at several levels of the Heavenly Palace Realm in the first few rounds.

Only later on do you encounter truly formidable opponents; it's still normal to encounter opponents of the same level in the third round.

Jin Tianlu said, "It's alright, it's alright. You've expended so much energy. If another formidable opponent comes along, you might not be able to handle it."

“It’s not just a little, it’s definitely too much for us to handle,” Xu Hao replied.

Almost every word they exchanged in the training ground was overheard by people nearby, which was to make the performance more convincing.

Xu Hao's superb acting skills are what made his odds as high as 6 to 1 when he faced Guan Min.

After successfully challenging opponents of higher levels, Xu Hao encountered cultivators of the same level, and his win rate naturally plummeted.

But even a small fly is still meat, so Xu Hao and Jin Tianlu naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass them by, and they still placed their bets.

"Let's go. Although our next opponent is also at the sixth level of the Heavenly Palace Realm, we need to recover as soon as possible. We can't afford to capsize," Jin Tianlu said.

Xu Hao nodded weakly.

Jin Tianlu helped Xu Hao leave the training ground.

After resting for two hours, Xu Hao and Jin Tianlu returned.

Xu Hao's steps were unsteady, and his expression was listless, as if he had been injured.

Xu Hao hadn't actually suffered much damage when he faced Guan Min before; he was just pretending. Now, he's still acting like he hasn't fully recovered.

After taking the stage, even when facing opponents of the same level, Xu Hao still chose to fight for quite a while before finally winning with difficulty.

It must be said that Xu Chu praised his composure and acting skills.
