Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

"Hmph, he doesn't even know about Zheng Qian's 'Thirty-Six Stratagems' of feinting to the east while attacking in the west. He's incredibly stupid."

Fan Tielan looked at Zheng Qian with a sidelong glance, like a proud little rooster.

Am I awesome?

The referee's eyelids twitched. General Fan's daughter, what a fierce one!

"In the first match, Fan Tielan won."

The audience only recovered after the referee announced the end of the match. Bai Wutong had been knocked unconscious by a hammer blow and had lost.

"What a waste that he's grown up so big, yet he can't even beat Fan Tielan."

"Wearing armor is cheating, yet you can't even withstand a single blow."

"Brother, including Soul Strike and Hammer Strike, it should be two moves."

"What's wrong with two moves? Two moves can win forty times the stake, you've already bet on it?"

"Waaah, no, I bet on Bai Wutong, after all, he is our country's great general, the most capable fighter."

Fan Tielan jogged over and punched Zheng Qian.

"How well did I do? I used military strategy, didn't I?"

"Good, well played."

While Zheng Qian praised him, he kept calculating in his mind how much Feng Wuhen had earned this time.

"The second match is between Lu Yan and Zhu Qi."

Zheng Qian looked at the arena. Zhu Qi walked onto the arena step by step with a serious expression, each step deliberate and heavy.

Lu Yan smiled confidently, and slowly flew up, his fiery red cloak shining on his arrogant and unruly face, making him both wild and handsome.

"Wow, the prince can actually fly! That's so cool!"

"Fool, the Crown Prince is at the Dragon Shaping Realm, he can definitely fly."

"I heard that the Crown Prince is skilled in both spiritual cultivation and martial arts, which is extremely impressive."

"No need to even think about the martial arts exam, the first place will definitely be the Crown Prince, it's a sure thing."

All the major gambling houses are betting on the first place winner of the martial arts competition, and the most popular person is Lu Yan.

Feng Wuhen squinted. Last night, when he got home, he put all the land deeds and various real estates of Fengzhi City into Lu Yan's betting pool. If he succeeded, the people's lives would be promising; if he failed, Fengzhi City would change hands.

If Lu Yan wins first place, all the property of Wind City will go to the Crown Prince. If Zheng Qian wins first place, Lu Chu will open the national treasury and take out gold of equal value to help the disaster victims.

Their bet was also reinforced by a contract, which was completed by a Soul Master. Anyone who dared to go back on their word would be punished by the Great Dao, suffering either a difficult fate or death.

This is Feng Wuhen's boldness. Lu Yan had been coveting the Feng family's Feng City for more than a year or two, and he agreed without hesitation.

Zheng Qian stared at Lu Yan. The higher-ups were saying that he was the most powerful person in the Dragon Shaping Realm among the fifty countries, and also his strongest opponent in this competition for first place. Zheng Qian needed to observe Lu Yan's fighting style carefully.

As the referee called "start," Zhu Qi bowed to Lu Yan, and two short swords appeared in his hands.

“Thorn source attached.”

Zhu Qi shouted, and a beam of clear light enveloped him as he sped toward Lu Yan.

Lu Yan, his face full of arrogance and a disdainful sneer on his lips, slowly extended his right hand.

A ball of flame appeared in Lu Yan's hand, and then he smashed it onto the ground.

hum...

The arena burst into flames instantly, blocking Zhu Qi's attack route.

This was Lu Yan's soul fire, blazing with heat and possessing a strong will, but Zhu Qi, who was only at the Void Spirit Realm, dared not approach it even slightly.

Before Zhu Qi could continue his attack, Lu Yan flicked his hand, and the flames seemed to have regenerative abilities, burning towards Zhu Qi and instantly covering the arena.

"Such a powerful flame."

Zhu Qi roared, the intense heat forcing him to retreat continuously, while the flames continued to spread, instantly blocking all his paths, leaving only an area for retreat.

Even after retreating to the edge of the arena, the flames continued unabated, so Zhu Qi had no choice but to jump off the arena.

"I lost."

Zhu Qi chuckled self-deprecatingly. From start to finish, it took less than two seconds before he was forced off the stage by Lu Yan's flames.

"Lu Yan is so strong! He knocked Zhu Qi, who was in the Void Realm, off the stage with just a ball of flame."

"Lu Yan held back; otherwise, he could have killed Zhu Qi in one move."

"Wind City bet: win fifty times in one move, have you placed your bets?"

"There was no pressure. Who would have thought that Zhu Qi would be forced off the stage in one move?"

Lu Yan waved his hand lightly, the flames disappeared, he glanced provocatively at Zheng Qian, and slowly flew off the arena.

You sent Yan Meng, who had just broken through to the Void Spirit Realm a month ago, flying with one punch, while I forced Zhu Qi, who had been in the Void Spirit Realm for many years, back with one move. It's obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.

Zheng Qian didn't take Lu Yan's provocation to heart at all. Even though Feng Wuhen didn't say who had kidnapped Tian Jie, Zheng Qian was still able to pinpoint the suspect, and Lu Yan was the most likely culprit.

Tian Jie's father was a second-rank official, and only the six major powers dared to attack his daughter in Guangxiang City.

Of the six major forces, only the Guardians and the Royal Family would take action against Tian Jie, and within the Royal Family, only Lu Yan and Lu Cilin have the capability to do so.

Of the three groups, Zheng Qian suspected Lu Yan the most.

There's no other reason than that this person appears arrogant and unruly on the surface, but in reality, he is ruthless, greedy, and lustful, making him the prime suspect.

The third and fourth matches were quite intense, and then it was Zheng Qian's turn to play.

"The fifth match is between Qin Lieyan and Zheng Qian."

As the referee's shout faded, a hearty laugh echoed throughout the arena.

"Haha, my son Qin Lieyan broke through to the Void Spirit Realm as soon as he entered the Spirit Cleansing Pool. Beating a mere Zheng Qian is a piece of cake."

Lu Chu smiled and looked at Minister Qin. He remembered that Minister Qin was the first to applaud and cheer when he finished his speech at the opening ceremony of the martial arts competition, so he also wanted to give Minister Qin some feedback, at least by saying a few words.

"Like father, like son. Minister Qin's son is clearly an outstanding individual, and his combat prowess must be extraordinary."

Qin Shilang hurriedly stood up and bowed to Lu Chu: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. My son, Qin Lieyan, has been cultivating diligently and is ranked fourth on the Academy's combat power list."

"Oh, ranked fourth, very good. My Guangxiang Kingdom is about to gain another great general."

Lu Chu was surprised that Qin Lieyan ranked fourth, which could be considered a rising star.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I will certainly have my son cultivate diligently so that he may serve Your Majesty."

Lu Chu nodded in satisfaction. This Vice Minister Qin knew how to handle things; he could be promoted in the future.

Qin Shilang sat down with a forced smile, his eyes filled with pride as he looked at Qin Lieyan.

He's ranked fourth on the academy's combat power list, which means he's fourth among the younger generation in Guangxiang Kingdom. He has a bright future ahead of him.

"Blazing Flame, unleash your full power and try to defeat Zheng Qian within three moves. After all, you are a realm higher than him, so you can't afford to lose face."

Qin Lieyan's face turned ashen upon hearing Qin Shilang's words, and his heart sank to the ground.

My dear father, please stop talking. He's a ruthless man who can easily beat Huang Chaogui. How could I possibly defeat him?

What if he brings up old grievances and tries to kill me? Wouldn't I be doomed?

You should know that I signed a death waiver before I went into the ring, so Zheng Qian could kill me with a legitimate reason.

Qin Shilang has been organizing official files recently, staying in a closed space and not contacting anyone. He wouldn't have left the archives room if Qin Lieyan hadn't participated in the martial arts test today.

In order to please Lu Chu, he rushed back to work in the archives after the ceremony yesterday, so he didn't have much interaction with Qin Lieyan, and he didn't know that Zheng Qian was a prodigy who had undergone nine tribulations of lightning and won first place in the group stage with one punch.

As Qin Lieyan watched Zheng Qian walk towards him step by step, his limbs went weak.

Brother, I'll pretend to give up after one hit, don't take it too seriously.
