Invincible Martial God System

Chapter 26: Won Too Easily?

Flame City is one of the four cities of the North, a vast and bustling city.

Flame City has been more prosperous than usual these past few days, as the renowned Four-Family Championship has begun.

Although the Four Families Tournament was only an internal matter for Flame City, other families in the Northern Territory had already sent people to check on the situation.

As the saying goes, "know yourself and know your enemy." The four major cities are engaged in open and covert struggles with each other, so naturally they want to know what kind of experts the enemy has recently produced.

All the people flocked to the north side of Flame City, where the largest square, Flame Square, was located.

Four huge fighting arenas had already been set up for today's competition.

The rising sun shone warmly on the entire square, and although it was still early, quite a few spectators had already arrived one after another.

All commercial activities in Flame City have been temporarily suspended today. Everyone entering Flame City has only one destination: Flame Square.

So the vendors who usually clamor for business have all come to the square.

In less than an hour, Flame Square was packed with people, looking like a huge, dark mass.

Many people who wanted to make a fortune were weaving through the crowd. Some were betting on the market, some were selling small commodities, and some were even hawking Qi-boosting pills.

Leng Yun followed the Leng family's group and entered the center of the arena through a private passage.

The appearance of the Leng family caused quite a stir in the audience, with cheers and applause ringing out continuously.

However, most of these voices were for the three elder disciples, as these people had participated in the competition for many years.

In contrast, Leng Yun was participating in the competition for the first time, and she only qualified because the competition added people at the last minute, so the audience did not recognize Leng Yun.

Almost the entire Leng family was present, and they all went to their respective rest areas to take their seats.

However, the outer disciples of the Leng family did not receive such treatment and could only squeeze into the crowded throng like ordinary spectators.

Even so, Leng Qing and her outer disciples still came with great enthusiasm to cheer on Leng Yun.

The seven elders of the Leng family sat in the main seats, while the four contestants waited on the platform.

"Well, don't feel pressured, just do your best," the Seventh Elder said to Leng Yun.

Leng Yun nodded without saying anything. He knew very well that he was not considered a top contender for the championship by the Leng family; it was just that no one else was willing to fill the void.

"Hmph, that's right, as long as it doesn't embarrass the Leng family too much," Leng Wuyi said.

As they were talking, the Wang family members walked in through the private passage.

The Wang family is a favorite in the competition every year, and the changes in the competition rules are more favorable to the Wang family because they have the most top-notch fighters.

Especially the favorite to win, the young genius Wang Jiu from Flame City.

At a young age, he had already broken through to the Martial Control Realm, and now, a few years later, his cultivation has reached an unbelievable level.

Leng Yun spotted the Wang family members from afar, heading towards the Leng family's rest area.

Wang Yinghao, the head of the Wang family, was tall and imposing, with a majestic presence, just like a soaring eagle.

Beside him, walking almost parallel to him, was a young man about the same age as Leng Yun, none other than Wang Jiu.

The others all followed behind Wang Yinghao, which shows Wang Jiu's status in the Wang family.

"Hehe, I didn't expect all seven elders of the Leng family to come." Wang Yinghao said with a smile, "City Lord Leng, how have you been?"

Leng gave a perfunctory smile: "Brother Wang, you look great. It seems you're quite confident about this year's four-family championship?"

"Haha, Brother Leng is too kind." Although Wang Yinghao spoke modestly, there was no trace of modesty on his face.

"By the way, I heard that the Leng family sent an inner court disciple to participate in the competition?" Wang Jiu suddenly said, his tone tinged with mockery.

"Hehe, yes, there's nothing we can do, we only have three elder disciples." Leng Wuyi's words sounded as if he were speaking up for an outsider.

It wasn't that he didn't know the best response; he just seized every opportunity to mock Leng Yun.

All the Leng family members felt somewhat embarrassed; with just one sentence, they had already lost to the Wang family in terms of momentum.

After a moment of silence, Leng Yun walked up to the crowd and said, "Not being an elder's disciple does not necessarily mean that one is weaker than an elder's disciple. Let's see how it goes on the field."

Wang Jiu glanced sideways at Leng Yun, who had just spoken: "Not bad, then let's meet on the battlefield."

"Haha, good, indeed heroes emerge from among the young. If you can win this time, you should be able to become an elder's disciple, right?" Wang Yinghao said sarcastically.

The Leng family members remained silent until the eldest elder spoke: "That's right, if Leng Yun can win, I will take him as my disciple."

"What!" The Leng family members were all surprised. The Grand Elder wanted to take on a disciple?

Although the Leng family currently has three elder disciples, none of them have been able to become the disciple of the Grand Elder.

The eldest elder's disciple already holds the same position in the Leng family as the family head.

If that's the case, Leng Yun's status will rise dramatically.

Leng Yun was even more excited. If he could become the Grand Elder's disciple, it would definitely be of great benefit to his goals. He hadn't expected to have such an unexpected gain this time.

"Hmph, winning the game won't be that easy!" Leng Wuyi said.

However, Leng was right. Leng Yun knew very well that even his own three elder disciples, not to mention other families, were not easy to deal with.

Afterwards, the two sides exchanged a few more sarcastic remarks before the Wang family members returned to their own rest area.

Subsequently, the Liu and Zhang families also arrived. They were not as welcomed as the Wang family, nor were they as powerful, so they went directly back to their own rest areas.

As time went on, the sunlight grew stronger, but no one cared, because the annual competition, the exciting four-team championship, was finally about to begin.

As the city lord, Leng Wuyi, the head of the Leng family, stood up and announced amidst everyone's eager anticipation: The competition begins!

As originally planned, the semi-finals competition will have a total of sixteen contestants. The first round will adopt a two-by-two elimination mechanism, with the sixteen contestants advancing to the eight-team stage. The first step will be to draw lots to determine the winners.

However, because one of the Liu family members had diarrhea and couldn't come at the last minute, the number of contestants became 15.

“Therefore, whoever draws number one will advance directly to the second round,” Leng Wuyi said. “Let’s begin the draw.”

The fifteen contestants walked onto the stage one by one and drew their numbers from the lottery box.

The surrounding audience craned their necks, eager to see who would be so lucky. Soon, under everyone's watchful eyes, the contestants had all chosen their numbers.

"Who drew number one?" Leng Wuyi asked.

After a moment of silence, Leng Yun raised his arm, holding a number one tag in his hand.
