Heaven rewards diligence; he fought his way through chaos to become a saint.

Not far from the queue were the stands of the three major martial arts schools.

Master Yang sat upright, sipping his tea: "Jiang Ding'an, are you going to take the exam this year?"

Before Jiang Ding'an could speak, Huang Guoshu interjected:

"My brother-in-law is useless, don't go up there and embarrass yourself. Let Senior Brother Qi Wang go."

Qi Wang interjected, "My punch, imbued with twenty years of internal energy, is no joke. Let Third Senior Brother go."

Jiang Du quickly shook his head: "No...no..."

Behind him, Jiang Ding'an grabbed Huang Guoshu's ear and said, "I became the number one in the county right here on this stage. I'm invincible below the Transcendent Realm."

"Yes...yes."

Jiang Du nodded: "The year...the year before last...the year of the Black Dragon..."

Qi Wang glanced at him and continued, "The year before last, although Junior Brother Jiang won one after another, there happened to be a master named Zhao Yi from the Black Dragon Martial Arts Academy who didn't participate."

"Thank you... thank you." Jiang Du looked grateful.

"You're welcome."

Qi Wang continued, "Junior Brother Jiang participated again last year, but Zhao Yi was away training and didn't participate. As a result, Senior Brother Jiang fought Qi Lian from the Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School to a standstill. I've forgotten who won in the end."

"My brother-in-law is really useless."

Huang Guoshu nodded repeatedly: "I heard that Zhao Yi has reached the Transformation Realm, right? He definitely won't go up now, otherwise it would be bullying the younger Jiang with his superior strength."

"Damn it!"

Jiang Ding'an's face turned red with anger.

"Senior Brother Qi, you go ahead."

Huang Guoshu blinked: "I really want to see you make a move."

Qi Wang looked up at the sky: "I am not good at martial arts, and Master will not let me go. I will give it to my third senior brother."

Jiang Du shook his head and waved his hand: "I...I'm not good at it either..."

"There's no need for my senior brothers to help; I can handle it all by myself this year."

The sound came as Xiao Hua slowly rolled up his sleeves:

"Master, I'm too lazy to wait, I'll go on stage first."

His tone of voice carried a certain air of nonchalance, appearing calm and casual.

In fact, the player who goes first is usually the one who gets exhausted and ends up losing.

Each martial arts school usually keeps its best techniques to itself for later.

As they were talking, Zhu Chengzhi on the stage had already defeated six people in a row.

Some people cheered from the audience.

"Black Dragon Martial Arts School! Truly extraordinary!"

Xiao Hua had already walked over.

"Get out of the way, I'll go first."

He was clearly at the back of the line when signing his name, and should have been in line, but his tone was quite arrogant, which drew the attention of everyone around him.

Many people recognized him and showed surprise, but they all made way for him.

"He's up so early?" someone whispered.

Xiao Hua had already taken the stage, and without even bothering to bow, he said calmly to Zhu Chengzhi:

"Xiao Hua".

Upon seeing that it was Xiao Hua, his opponent was momentarily taken aback: "Zhu Chengzhi, please enlighten me!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Hua took a step forward and quickly moved forward. Just as Zhu Chengzhi was about to throw a punch, he felt a tightness around his waist. Xiao Hua had grabbed his belt with one hand and pulled him up.

They threw him off the stage as if he were a piece of junk.

"Next."

Adam Silver surveyed the entire room.

"Who is he? He was so fast!"

"You don't recognize him? He was the top performer in the entire county in the recent competition for young hidden strength held by Commandant Qin."

"It's just that he wasn't this good back then; his rate of improvement is astonishing."

Experts can see the skill; Xiao Hua only made a slight move, but people could already tell how formidable he was.

"Tongbi Martial Arts School Field Canal".

A burly man stepped onto the stage, cupped his hands, and announced his number.

Xiao Hua beckoned with his hand.

Tian Qu's pupils constricted slightly. He roared, stomped his foot on the ground, and charged forward.

He was a veteran of internal strength in the county, with great arm strength, and his punches tore through the air, creating a muffled whistling sound.

Xiao Hua remained unmoved, and in a flash, he suddenly threw a punch.

Using Tian Qu's momentum, the punch went straight for his chest. Tian Qu was shocked and had no time to react before being knocked down and slammed heavily to the ground.

boom!

Xiao Hua kicked the man away, and Tianqu tumbled heavily down the ditch.

"Next."

Silence fell over the crowd; everyone was stunned, never expecting him to take them all down in a single move.

Huang Guoshu, enraged in the stands, grabbed Jiang Ding'an and pulled him over.

"Look at him! How hard do you work? All you do is drink! You good-for-nothing, don't be my brother-in-law anymore!"

Jiang Ding'an: "???"

Whether I work hard or not, what does it have to do with you, my brother-in-law?

"Xiao Hua, I didn't expect you to have improved so much since our last encounter. Let me spar with you."

From the direction of the Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School, a young man spoke up and then stepped onto the ring.

This man was tall and robust, with sharp eyes, and his aura seemed much stronger than Xiao Hua's.

"It's Chen Fan! It's said that his talent is no less than Xiao Hua's; their fight in the last competition was the most exciting one!"

The Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School excels in claw attacks, combining agility with immense power, making them extremely formidable.

The Baoshanquan style emphasizes steady and reliable victory. In fact, the various fighting techniques of the Menghu Martial Arts School are somewhat effective against Baoshanquan.

Everyone was gradually surprised by Chen Fan's swift actions.

Logically, Chen Fan should have overwhelmed Xiao Hua like last time, but after ten or so rounds, he still couldn't touch him.

Xiao Hua looked like a willow in the wind, drifting aimlessly, yet a mocking smile played on her lips.

"It's all about internal strength; your fighting style isn't up to par yet."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud bang was heard, and Xiao Hua suddenly threw a punch, knocking Chen Fan to the ground.

Exclamations of surprise rang out from all around.

Chen Fan stood up with great difficulty: "I was careless... Let's try again!"

On the Shen family's viewing platform, Ye Ci nodded slightly.

It must be admitted that this closed-door disciple is truly amazing; he actually mastered the "Chasing the Moon Step" just like himself.

Since his efficiency in practicing stance training improved, Ye Ci has been practicing this footwork technique and mastered it yesterday.

With this footwork technique at his disposal, if the opponent doesn't have a similar footwork technique to counter it, Xiao Hua can easily defeat one opponent after another.

Sure enough, before long, Chen Fan was like a headless fly on the stage, completely outmaneuvered by Xiao Hua, and occasionally getting hit by a few heavy punches.

Ye Ci praised it highly:

"Both of us have exceptional talent, but Xiao Hua's comprehension is truly remarkable. Look, his Baoshan Fist is just as perfect as mine."

Not long after.

With a loud thud, Chen Fan, who was panting heavily from the ordeal, was slammed down by a punch.

Xiao Hua stared in the direction of the Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School, his imposing aura radiating power.

"Tiger Martial Arts School, let's get someone stronger."

This scene infuriated the people at the Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School to the point of rage; their master nearly smashed his teacup.

Someone called me out?!

"Qilian, charge!"

Master Chong of the Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School was enraged and immediately called out his strongest disciple.

This was someone who was on par with Jiang Ding'an last year. Although he hasn't mastered the Hua Jin skill this year, his accumulation over the past year is still considerable.

Among the three major martial arts schools, there are no disciples at the Transformation Realm level, because those who have reached that level have all been sent to sects in the prefectural city. Or some of the older Transformation Realm masters may have become guest elders in a family. Or perhaps they have gone to develop their careers in other places.

Qilian is considered the most valuable treasure.

In previous years, the competition should not have been conducted this way at all. Everyone should have been given a chance to perform first, and the three martial arts schools would have had their best matches at the end.

There's no such thing as starting a fight right away!
