Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Speaking to Zhang Chaoqiang in a tone befitting an elder, she said, "Zhang Chaoqiang, I apologize for my daughter Xiao Xia's previous behavior..."

The same thing happened to Gao Guojun's side. They were in a hurry, and after glancing at Old Chen behind Zhang Chaoqiang, they quickly bowed and apologized to Zhang Chaoqiang.

This scene truly left everyone around in awe.

When was this scene ever seen?

It's not uncommon for Lao Tzu to plead for his descendants, but this time the person he was pleading for was a child much younger than himself...

This is enough to overturn their traditional understanding.

Therefore, at this moment, they feel not only astonishment, but also, more importantly, fear…

Those present earlier had more or less developed a sense of contempt for Zhang Chaoqiang's family, but Zhang Chaoqiang was also an extremely courageous person.

Anyone who threatens his parents will be brought to trouble by him and made to pay the price they deserve. Tie Daren is a cautionary tale that should make them feel anxious.

No one dared to cast any strange glances at Zhang Chaoqiang's parents for that instant; the scene remained calm and undisturbed.

Zhang Chaoqiang, who had just faced the apologies from the representatives of the two families, neither nodded nor shook his head.

In reality, he considered these words as utter nonsense. Could a trivial statement erase the actions that put my parents in danger?

Where can you find such a good deal?

Despite Zhang Chaoqiang's gaze constantly shifting between Xiao Xia and Gao Guojun, the elders in the family gritted their teeth, cursed under their breath, and then pulled the two out to personally apologize.

Without hesitation, although as martial artists, they had killed countless demonic beasts at the young age of twenty, they had never actually tried killing people. Therefore, the fact that they had just killed Tie Daren with absolute force made it impossible for them to muster even the slightest resistance.

Honestly, they weren't much better than Tie Daren, especially if Zhang Chaoqiang really forced them to fight...

The odds were stacked against them, and just as they were about to plead for their lives...

Behind Zhang Chaoqiang, Old Chen's words left them dumbfounded...

"The Tie family and the people of Minjiang, why aren't you leaving?"

Threat—Old Chen's words were filled with nothing but threats…

If Zhang Chaoqiang hadn't known that the other party possessed formidable martial arts skills, he would have been utterly shocked by the dramatic change in the usually cheerful Old Chen.

After hearing this, the Tie family could only slink away with Tie Daren's remaining body and the Minjiang people. The anger they felt was no one else's fault but their own because they were not as skilled as the other.

When the number of contestants officially decreased from 123 to 122, Lao Chen finally turned his attention to the families of Xiao Xia and Gao Guojun.

"Let the peers handle their own affairs. Shouldn't you, as elders, refrain from interfering?"

Old Chen's words essentially extinguished any hope they had of speaking up for their younger generation, and he absolutely supported Zhang Chaoqiang's actions.

Having spent so many years with Zhang Chaoqiang's family, to be honest, in a sense, the joy they provided to Old Chen was unique and unmatched by anyone else.

Furthermore, Zhang Chaoqiang is a unique genius of our time, which is why I support his actions.

If a person doesn't even have the opportunity to protect their family, then that is an absolutely tragic scene.

Therefore, apart from Zhang Chaoqiang and his group, the elders of Xiao Xia and Gao Guojun's families looked at each other with bitter expressions.

It's too late to regret what I just did; the most important thing right now is to figure out how to get through this situation.

"I...I refuse..."

The once spirited young King Gao was now completely devoid of any radiance.

Even the femininity on his face gradually turned into a gloomy, inescapable gloom.

"I, I also refuse..."

Following Gao Guojun, Xiao Xia also spoke haltingly but decisively in the same manner. Although refusing a public challenge was a very shameful thing, and would damage her and her family's reputation...

But there's no time to think about that now. A proper fight can't proceed without the consent of both parties, or it will be sanctioned by the Extraordinary Administration Bureau.

As for murder, that cannot be allowed to happen easily; it must be stipulated by both parties before it can continue.

When those words were spoken, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two geniuses, who were originally considered to have extremely high overall strength, had completely fallen from their pedestals.

Given this behavior, Zhang Chaoqiang had no choice but to keep it in mind.

Whether it's a friendly spar, a battle, or a duel between martial artists, it basically requires a mutual agreement and recognition from both sides.

A single person's decision cannot sustain the fight.

Keeping this in mind, Zhang Chaoqiang remembered that the quadrennial Central National Youth Martial Arts Competition would be held in September.

At that time, it will be a more lenient competition compared to the Synthesis Competition, which requires strict qualifications and limits the number of participants.

The competition will feature teenagers from all over the country, who will then clash with each other.

Since the other party refused his challenge, he didn't believe that he would face the two of them again if they didn't clash in the future...

However, it seems he's not going to let the two of them easily get away with his demands for a duel.

"Didn't you just offer to spar? Why are you refusing now?"

"You should agree to my demand for a fight. What's the big deal? We'll settle this fairly and squarely!"

Faced with Zhang Chaoqiang's "aggressive" words, an uninformed person might think that among the three, Zhang Chaoqiang was the one who had been abusing his power.

Faced with his question, Xiao Xia Gao Guojun was completely unable to answer. The most important thing at the moment was to save her own life.

Those who act impulsively for a moment's pleasure and then risk their lives are fools; they naturally have a standard of judgment in their hearts.

They didn't speak; they couldn't say anything.

During the standoff between the individuals.

Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong, who were by the window, were completely unaware of this, because Tie Daren's sudden attack on them had just occurred at the last second.

With their reaction speed, how could they possibly react so slowly?

During Zhang Chaoqiang's forceful killing of Tie Daren, Lao Chen quickly shut down their senses.

This prevents them from perceiving what is happening around them.

This bloody scene was naturally kept from the two of them; otherwise, it would probably have given them nightmares for months.

At that moment, they didn't know how they suddenly ran to the window, facing the towering building. If the glass window could be opened, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei had no doubt that they could touch the clouds outside with just a reach.

"Xiaoyue, how high is it from here?"

"It's probably about a kilometer above the ground..."

"Wow, that's really high!"

At this moment, Tan Yue was more or less envious of Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong, because of their obliviousness, they were completely unaware of what had just happened.

Sometimes not knowing means you don't have to worry about it.

This situation between the two is not necessarily all a bad thing.

While guiding Zhang Chaoqiang's parents to enjoy the scenery, Zhang Chaoqiang was confronting Gao Guojun and Xiao Xia on the side.

"Zhang Chaoqiang..."

The tranquility of the scene was suddenly broken by a voice from the elevator entrance…

There were about a dozen people who had arrived, but the clothes they were wearing drew everyone's attention.

The red and black lab coats, with the six large characters "Zhongzhou Municipal Research Institute" prominently displayed on them, indicate that they are indeed the official personnel of this science and technology museum.

No, and it wasn't just officials. Zhang Chaoqiang could pinpoint a vibrant young man among the crowd, someone who was his equal.

He was also dressed in a low-key but unassuming lab coat, a symbol of absolute status, and stood behind the leader.

As for the leader…

The first thing people noticed was their clothing, since each city and participant had uniforms representing their identity and origin, except for Zhang Chaoqiang's parents.

After observing the other party's clothing and determining their organization, their detailed identity was then determined.

His gaze shifted from the clothes to the face. The leader's tall stature and resolute expression drew Old Chen's attention.

"Super strong. The one behind that person is Gu Yizheng from Zhongzhou City, who is a favorite to win this synthesis competition."

Old Chen showed no restraint whatsoever. In fact, compared to Gu Yizheng, he didn't even give the leader a second glance, since he knew the leader was no match for him.

But the people around them reacted differently…

When they saw the newcomers, they all stepped forward and bowed, for the newcomers were none other than the Zhongzhou City team, who were the hosts for this event!

Similarly, they are also scientific and technological research and development personnel from the research institute within the Zhongzhou Science and Technology Museum, led by the renowned institute director, Lei She.

Basically, his influence can be seen in almost every aspect of scientific and technological research and development across the country.

Although his martial arts strength was only at the seventh level, his spiritual level once reached the tenth level!

As a renowned contemporary researcher, his technological capabilities are probably among the top ten in the country.

Of course, there are still some differences compared to Xu Shanji, the father of science and technology in the Central Kingdom. However, within the entire Central Kingdom, he can already be considered a top-tier figure.

"I heard that Gu Yizheng's ability to achieve such synthesis at such a young age is largely thanks to his mentor, the director of the research institute!"

Some people are pondering this in their hearts.

This Leishe was Gu Yizheng's mentor in synthesis. Gu Yizheng's exceptional talent as a genius was one reason, and Leishe's earnest guidance was another.

Upon seeing the arrival of the host and hearing Lei She's next words, Xiao Xia, the Gao family, who had been under constant pressure, and their families seemed to have no choice but to breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems a fairly large-scale battle has taken place upstairs, enough to trigger the building's alarm system, which appears to violate the museum's regulations..."

The so-called regulations mentioned by Leishe are nothing more than prohibiting large-scale battles, especially unauthorized battles, within the exhibition area.

After they understood the whole story, Lei She first looked at Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei.

After confirming that the other party was not harmed, they did not even mention Zhang Chaoqiang's killing of Tie Daren, which should have been a violation of the rules. They simply stopped the standoff between him, Xiao Xia, and Gao Guojun.

To quickly resolve these troublesome matters, Reischer, as the director of the research institute, offered a concise and to-the-point solution…

"The Gao family of Tongxin City and the Xiao family of Liuhai City, even if you have the right to refuse Zhang Chaoqiang's challenge, shouldn't you also make some compensation to Zhang Chaoqiang's family for what Xiao Xia and Gao Guojun did just now?"

Even though no physical harm was caused to Zhang Chaoqiang's parents, they were still frightened... and should be compensated.

Shocked?

Is this statement a serious statement?

They looked out the window, marveling at the high-tech war machines constantly shuttling between the tall buildings, their excitement and curiosity even more intense than that of children.

Reischer actually said that the two of them were frightened?
