One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

Zhuge Qing was very angry. He was also very vengeful and petty.

It wasn't until dinner time that the Zhuge family informed them that the roof of the main hall had just been repaired.

Dinner will be suspended once.

The Wang family was fine, but this infuriated Lü Ci.

He sat there from noon until night, only to be told in the end that there was no food left.

Just as the old mad dog was about to have an outburst, Zhuge Qing invited him elsewhere and treated him to a good meal and wine, which finally calmed him down.

Ma Long and the others didn't care anymore. Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, he and Feng Baobao had already finished the leftovers.

They piled up torches on Zhen Street and started barbecuing.

Little Fire God Hong Bin rushed over and volunteered to control the flames, and the twenty-odd people ate with great relish.

The two poor souls in room zero on Zhen Street could only watch helplessly.

"Flower, let's go out and get some!"

They baked so much, there's no way they can finish it all!

"no!

You're so pathetic. Doing this will only make Ma Long think you're a glutton.

This is a test for you; you must be patient.

"Go meditate. Your meditation skills are quite strong!"

"Holy crap~ Okay!"

In fact, Ma Long had no idea that there was someone in room zero; only Feng Baobao noticed their emotions.

But what does this have to do with Feng Baobao?

Xia He also noticed something was wrong, but her perception was different from Feng Baobao's.

She smiled dismissively: "Hmph, little girl, you're delusional!"

……

The sixth day of the Lunar New Year, early morning!

This day is finally here.

The main hall of Zhuge Village was already packed with people early on, happily enjoying their breakfast.

Today's breakfast was unusually energy-intensive, probably because most people didn't eat last night.

After a hearty meal, everyone followed the disciples of the Zhuge family to a large square.

This square is over 10,000 square meters, roughly the size of a playground.

Four raised platforms stand around the square, which are clearly the audience seating areas.

In other words, it is an extraordinary person. If it were an ordinary person, standing on the high platform, they would not be able to see the fight inside the arena at all.

Zhuge Gong raised his arms and shouted: "Distinguished guests present here, and friends online."

Hello everyone!

After extensive and costly preparations, we have finally ushered in the day when the Dragon and Tiger Summit will be held.

First of all, I want to thank the company, thank you...

Next, I would like to announce the initial rankings of the ten people: Wang Bing, Zhuge Qing, Ma Long, Lu Linglong, Xia He, Lü Gong, Feng Shayan, Lu Lin, Jia Zhengliang, and Bao Chan.

The competition rules are as follows: only those who rank in the top ten are eligible to challenge any of the top five players.

The remaining contestants who did not make it into the top ten can only challenge the contestants ranked sixth to tenth.

Furthermore, once defeated, unless there is a major disagreement with the result, there is no support for continuing to challenge the same opponent.

You can only challenge the same person again when they are available.

The challenge order is based on the weakest party first, meaning that if someone ranked lower than you challenges you, you cannot challenge someone stronger than you.

The competition will be held in the morning and afternoon, and each person can only participate in the competition once per time slot.

However, there's no need to worry about being held back; our competition will continue indefinitely.

Until no one challenges it.

Only then can it be called true fairness!

Does anyone have any objections?

Seeing that no one objected, Zhuge Gong continued, "Alright!"

In that case, everyone can go up to the viewing platform.

The Azure Dragon Terrace, located due east, is occupied by our Zhuge family, except for distinguished guests who have been invited.

The rest of you, please go to the other three high platforms!

After Zhuge Gong finished speaking, people began to go up on the stage to prepare for the competition.

Xia He said to Ma Long, "Heh!"

They're quite good at treating people differently!

Qinglongtai is tall and large, and it is also centrally located, with a noticeably better sunshade.

What is the Zhuge family up to?!

Ma Long pulled Xia He aside and shook his head: "Sister, there's nothing we can do about it."

"They're the organizers, so it's understandable that they have some privileges."

"Okay, okay, you tell me, let's go to that platform."

Ma Long thought for a moment and looked at the high platform to the west: "Hmm~ White Tiger, I guess!"

"Go to White Tiger Terrace!"

"Heh, you still like the white tiger that much?"

Xia He murmured softly, took Ma Long's arm, and walked forward.

Feng Baobao imitated Xia He, holding Ma Long's right hand and occasionally touching the couple's rings on their hands unintentionally.

I don’t know what I’m thinking.

Chen Duo, Zhang Lingyu, Liu Yanyan, Bao Chan, Wang Zhenqiu, Yuan Dahai, Li San, and others followed.

Wang Ye lazily walked at the very back.

Before long, everyone ascended the White Tiger Platform. As soon as Ma Long sat down, he felt a reflection and turned around abruptly to see a bald head walking towards him.

"Baochan?"

Wait a minute, he's over here. I sent him to reflect Zhuge Qing's eyes.

Who is this bald man?

Malone was somewhat suspicious, waiting for something, and sure enough, it was just as he had guessed.

"Hehehe, Master!"

I just followed you up here.

They all know we're in cahoots anyway, so it doesn't matter!

Ma Long was a little embarrassed and tugged at his awkward trouser leg: "Uh~ Kui'er!"

It's better to wear pants separately.

Please pay attention to personal hygiene!

Yes, you're right!

I'll do whatever you say.

Chen Jinkui didn't dare to take Xia He's place, even though she gave it to him.

After all, having a beautiful woman with a pleasant demeanor by your side is much better than having a bald, burly man by your side.

He was quite self-aware and quietly sat behind Malone, acting as a bright third wheel.

In addition to the disciples of the Zhuge family, a mysterious leader from the company also visited Qinglongtai on the east side.

That's why outsiders are prohibited from performing on stage.

The Wang family, the Lü family, and the Tianxia Society ascended the Vermilion Bird Terrace to the south.

After that, no one climbed the Vermilion Bird Terrace anymore.

Lu Lin and Lu Linglong led the Lu family disciples to the Xuanwu Platform on the east side, where most of the independent cultivators had gathered, including the Quanxing Sect.

Lu Jin went to Longhu Mountain to accompany the Old Celestial Master, but in reality, he was entrusted by the company to keep an eye on the Old Celestial Master.

It was also a way to appease him, since no one could stop the old man from going down the mountain.

……

After a while, the noise subsided, and Zhuge Gong shouted loudly from the Qinglong Terrace: "Everyone, please be quiet."

Please respect each competitor and watch the competition quietly.

Throwing water bottles, making noise, using flash photography, and all other such behaviors are prohibited.

Uh... even using a bald head to reflect light won't work!

Who is on the platform to the west?

"Put on a hat, I can't see your side anymore!"

Ma Long smiled and gestured for Bao Chan to sit down a little lower, so that he could find an opportunity to reflect light during the match and catch the opponent off guard.

Seeing that the blinding golden light had disappeared, Zhuge Gong continued, "Alright."

Everyone, please keep quiet. Let's begin the competition!

By the way, those who haven't registered, or those who registered but haven't passed our Wuhou School's basic test, cannot participate in the challenge!

Otherwise, there would be too many people. After going through the screening process, everyone should have no objections.

Okay, let's begin!
