THE MARTIAL GOD
Chapter 46: The Tournament Begins



"Very wise, brilliant idea!" the words of many people supported the old man's words. The old man was obviously doing this as a way to increase the hatred among the other clans, by forcing them to watch because their talented clan members would rather die than give up. He had done this to stop the hatred among the younger generation, but increase the resentment of the older generation. That way, those who disagreed would not criticize the Na Lan Clan. After all, they were a clan that hosted the tournament and had made very reasonable rules. However, it also meant that members of the Na Lan Clan could be killed inside the arena. The crowd knew that they would see some people dead and that the different clans of Yangzhou City would once again sow seeds of hatred for each other. Na Lan Xiong wanted to see the other clans hate each other. Although the other three clans knew what Na Lan Xiong had in mind, they had no choice but to agree.


Since they did not want to lose face and since they were considered the best clan in the city, all they could do was tell their young disciples to fight for victory with all their might. In addition, the old man also said that those who hoped to surrender and the battle would soon end the fate of his clan. Therefore, the rule was double-edged and could not be completely contradictory due to the choices given .. But who would accept having their own clan considered inferior to the others?


“I have finished writing down the names of all the participants who participated in this year's tournament. I also finished arranging the battle. I don't know if anyone objected to my work" the old man said as he looked at the members of the other three powerful clans.


"Hehe, everything is governed by the Na Lan Clan .. I, of course, agree. said the head of the Gu Clan although it seems that he doesn't really care.


“Tournament was previously organized by the Na Lan Clan and managed by them as well, this time it will obviously be the same. ”


“I also don't mind. said Lin Ba Dao who obviously won't oppose the Na Lan Clan.


"I represent the Na Lan Clan and I would like to thank all the clan heads for their cooperation" the old man said as he looked at the members of the other three clans and then declared: "The rules are like that and are applied from the first battle: being defeated will lead to elimination, victory allows you to continue. ”


“And now, let me announce what battle will take place. All who heard their names could stay on stage, others could come down and wait. On the Na Lan stage, Na Lan Feng would fight against Wen Xin of the Wen Clan; on the Eastern Stage, Gu Yun of the Gu Clan would fight against Lin Wu of the Lin Clan; on the South Stage, Lin Yu of the Lin Clan would fight against Wen Feng of the Wen Clan; on the Western stage, Na Lan Zhu of the Na Lan Clan would fight against Feng Qian; on the North stage, Duo Ming was going to fight against the young Gu Qing of the Gu Clan. ”


There were five battle stages, so there were only ten people fighting at once. In total there are forty people. Four rounds was enough to eliminate half of them and so only twenty people were left. Those who had not been summoned would step off the stage while those who were summoned would step onto their respective stages.


“Hahaha, Wen Xin is really unlucky, having to fight against Na Lan Feng as the first battle. ”


Although Wen Xin was not weak, she had no chance of winning.


"I heard that Lin Wu from the Lin Clan had become extremely strong. He had already reached the ninth Qi layer. It seemed like he would definitely be the one to win the fight at the Eastern Stage. ”


"On the southern stage, Wen Feng had to win the battle. On the North Stage, Feng Qian had to win. Regarding the last stage, although Duo Ming was very mysterious and wore a mask, young Gu Qing was almost invincible so Duo Ming was quite unlucky there. ”


The battle had not even begun and everyone in the crowd made predictions as if they were confident of the outcome. After all, the crowd knew almost all of these young disciples, the majority of whom were from Yangzhou City, and had a deep understanding of their strengths and weaknesses.


Yet on the North Stage, Duo Ming also attracted the attention of the crowd. He was wearing a mask, they had never heard of him and there was something interesting surrounding him like an aura. He brings an atmosphere of mystery. It was a pity that he was going to fight with the young Gu Qing. He is doomed and will soon lose. Indeed, the young Gu Qing had already reached the peak of the Qi layer. There were not many Qi Layer Cultivators who could fight against him and hope to win. The only real opponents were mostly within the Ling Qi layer. Young Gu Qing was also quite famous in the region. Thus, it was impossible for Duo Ming to defeat the young Gu Qing.


The predictions of the crowd were also quite accurate. Wen Xin did not fight against Na Lan Feng and gave up. Although face and prestige were very important, giving up when facing Na Lan Feng was nothing to be ashamed of. Fighting against Na Lan Feng obviously meant dying.


On the East and West stages, the results gradually came out and the crowd's predictions were correct every time. Lin Wu, Wen Feng and Feng Qian would defeat their opponents and move on to the next round in the tournament. Only the battle on the North Stage was still ongoing and it left everyone among the crowd speechless.


In the eyes of young Gu Qing, Duo Ming was not even there, he regarded Duo Ming as an ant to crush under his boots on the road to cultivation. The young Gu Qing continued to see the battle at another stage rather than defeating his own opponent. After all, he would be able to move forward to the next round whenever he wanted, so he wanted to familiarize himself with the fighting style of his next opponents.


“I won't fight against Na Lan Feng, so I hope I won't be a match for him in the upcoming battle. Lin Wu and Wen Feng would be very easy to defeat. As far as Feng Qian was concerned, it seemed like his strength had greatly increased recently, but I should be able to dispose of him very quickly as well. Victory would be a piece of cake if I had to fight with all three .. ”


Finally, Feng Qian held the throat of his opponent Na Lan Zhu. Na Lan Zhu did not want to continue fighting and giving up. Everyone's attention is on the North Stage.


“It's done. so fast! ”kata crowd amazed. Looks like the first round is coming to an end.


“Gu Qing, stop wasting time. "said the head of the Gu Clan sounding indifferent yet a little arrogant as if Gu Qing could end the battle as soon as he hoped.


"Alright, I will do as the clan head asks. " replied the young Gu Qing, Then he looked at Lin Feng who hid his identity with a silver mask and said coldly:


“Come down from here yourself, you are not worth fighting for. '' Lin Feng touched his silver mask, one could only see his eyes and a small part of his face but it was impossible to see his facial expression.


Lin Feng had also ignored the young Gu Qing he did not rush to fight and also observed the other battles. He also has nothing to worry about. The young Gu Qing was extremely arrogant and instead of fighting told him to get off the stage. Lin Feng was already used to cultivators thinking that they were untouchable and disrespectful to others, but those geniuses demanded respect in return.


“Didn't you hear what I just said? I told you to get down from here .. Get out! If you're not smart enough to knock yourself down, I'll kill you right away. "Young Gu Qing saw that Lin Feng had no reaction at all and then frowned.


Talented people in powerful clans hated cultivators who considered themselves geniuses but did not belong to clans that held such status as powerful clans. Without a strong backing behind them, they would have to work very hard for minimal gains. How could a cultivator be such a talented person if he did not belong to a powerful clan? People like Dou Ming who did not belong to a powerful clan would have no reputation and could be disposed of by his clan at any time. That was why the young Gu Qing hated such cultivators and considered them under his notice.


“I haven't changed my mind, so grab that chance and get lost! "said Lin Feng in a voice filled with hatred. As he spat out words filled with hatred, it shocked everyone in the crowd. Right after that, some people grinned, could it be that person is crazy?


Qiu Lan did not laugh. He thought that Lin Feng was very mysterious, almost mystical. He looked very strong compared to everyone else in the tournament. He had seen how Lin Feng had made Wu Xiao collapse with just one strike.


“I hope you are ready to die young Gu Qing.' cried Feng Qian who was focused on what happened on the North Stage. He had understood what would happen to the young Gu Qing. This behavior will only lead to his death. After receiving a lesson from Lin Feng, he had matured greatly and realized his own mistakes. The less respect given to Lin Feng, the less mercy he would show.


The face of the young Gu Qing at that moment had changed and he no longer looked as if he was feeling calm. He could not believe what Lin Feng had just said to him. He could not believe that a young man, who did not belong to a powerful clan like his, would dare to talk to him like that. He was the second ranked disciple of the Gu Clan amongst all Qi layer disciples. He was considered an extremely strong and talented disciple by all the members of the Gu Clan.


"Stop him. ''Old Gu Qing said with a loud yet calm voice that made everyone shiver. Lin Feng was going to lose, it was obvious but old Gu Qing wanted young Gu Qing to kill Lin Feng where he stood.


"Alright" said the young Gu Qing who noticed that his father who was also the clan head, had become extremely angry. He quickly began to move at an incredible speed. He was not going to give Lin Feng a chance to give up.


"Toxic Boxing!" shouted the young Gu Qing.


His fist let out a whistling sound as he began to break through the air as if he was smashing the atmosphere into pieces.


But Lin Feng remained motionless like a mountain. At the moment when the poisonous fist was about to reach him, a bright light flashed in front of his body. The sword was too fast for anyone to see what was happening.


It seemed like time had stopped and everything remained motionless. No one in the crowd saw what had happened or why the young Gu Qing had stopped moving. Suddenly the young Gu Qing's body fell to the ground as her head started to roll away from her body. The crowd stared in complete silence.
