Starting from the pharmacy, he grew into a martial saint among men.

"this......"

Xiang Rufei was taken aback.

The Qin family only asked him to cancel the engagement; they never considered that he would lose.

Even he didn't think he would lose.

Therefore, when suddenly asked this question, I was somewhat speechless.

Below the arena, the eager disciples were already shouting and making a ruckus:

"Quickly, tell us the prize! Hurry up!"

"Xiang Rufei, what are you dawdling about? Let him make his demands. Are you afraid of losing?!"

Pang Hai smiled, never expecting that this arrangement would bring unexpected gains.

He turned his head and saw that Song Yue's face was deathly pale, she was biting her lip, and her eyes were glazed over, as if she was thinking about something.

Pang Hai stepped forward with a smile: "Senior Sister Song, it's alright, you still have me."

Song Yue snapped out of her daze, glanced at him, and silently took two steps away.

She is not stupid.

On the stage, Xiang Rufei regained his senses, straightened his back, and said loudly:

"Brother Chu, whatever you need as a prize, just tell me, I'll agree to anything!"

Chu Hong smiled faintly:

"Alright, if I win, you have the Qin family copy a copy of 'The Cold Light Leg' for me, how about that?"

Xiang Rufei was immediately shocked.

Family martial arts techniques are extremely precious; how could they possibly be passed on to outsiders so easily?

Chu Hong actually brought this up like that. Could it be that he deliberately didn't want to gamble with me?

Moreover, "Cold Light Legs" belongs to the Qin family, so how could he dare to agree to it so casually?

For a moment, his expression was extremely complex.

Chu Hong knew he couldn't make a decision, so he turned to look in Qin Ruhai's direction:

"Uncle Qin, since you've put Brother Xiang in charge of breaking off the engagement, do you dare accept this condition?!"

"Everyone here today is witnessing that if he wins, the engagement will be automatically annulled."

"And even if you lose, all you'll get is a copy of the cultivation technique, how about that?"

After considering for a moment, Qin Ruhai, feeling he had no reason to lose, nodded emphatically: "Okay!"

"I promise you!"

"Attack! Attack! Attack now!" The disciples were filled with fervor.

Even the other two arenas tacitly stopped fighting for the time being and focused their attention on this place.

On the high platform, the inner city's powerful figures frowned as they looked at the chaotic scene below.

"Go and ask what happened."

Before long, a servant returned to report the situation.

One of them was intrigued: "Oh, the engagement was broken off? Interesting, I'll have to see how this goes."

A young girl dressed in green shook her head, wondering who Chu Hong was, as if she had heard of him somewhere before.

-----------------

"The duel begins!"

At the referee's signal, Xiang Rufei immediately pounced forward, raising his hand to unleash his ultimate technique, the Heavenly Flower Palm.

The palm strike was fierce and domineering, like the awe-inspiring might of heaven, with an astonishing aura.

If this palm strike landed, it would be enough to turn Chu Hong into dust.

Many martial artists with internal strength were secretly alarmed upon seeing this, and asked themselves honestly, none of them dared to take this move head-on.

"The secret technique inherited from the Heavenly Flower Palm—Heavenly Might Descends?!"

The crowd below stared in disbelief.

Such a big move right from the start?

It should be noted that such powerful secret techniques are only taught to the core disciples of a martial arts school.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Rufei had already mastered the art of martial arts to perfection in his early stages.

It seems that his strength has already been recognized by the head of Tianhua Martial Arts School, and his future achievements are limitless.

For a moment, everyone thought that Chu Hong was bound to lose.

Pang Hai could no longer suppress his smile; it was full of life.

Seeing the fierce palm technique, Song Yue was filled with worry.

On the stage, the force of the palm strike was almost upon him.

But at that moment, Chu Hong moved his feet and his figure shifted three steps to the side like a ghost.

Easily dodge this fatal blow.

"Hide? Where can I hide?!"

Xiang Rufei roared angrily and strode after him.

But Chu Hong had already shot out like an arrow.

He raised his hand and threw a simple, unadorned punch, without any fancy moves or unnecessary actions.

Pure, profound, yet flawless!

"Huh?" Xiang Rufei scoffed.

With a punch that slow, you think you can hit me?

Watch me dodge so easily...

"Bang!"

The fist suddenly accelerated and slammed into his chest.

Xiang Rufei was struck hard and flew backward, crashing heavily to the edge of the ring, spitting out blood.

"you......"

One move, and the enemy is defeated!

The entire arena was silent for a few breaths before erupting into a deafening gasp.

"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!"

On the high platform, the important figure looked at Chu Hong's ingenious response with admiration in his eyes.

"Fast or slow moves? This kid learns very quickly."

Pang Hai's laughter abruptly stopped, and he frowned, pondering whether he should also learn a movement technique.

On the stage, Chu Hong walked up to Xiang Rufei and raised his foot to kick her.

"Wait! Chu Hong, you've won!"

The referee quickly intervened and ordered someone to take Xiang Rufei to receive treatment immediately.

Chu Hong withdrew his foot, turned to look at Qin Ruhai, and said in a calm tone, "A bet's a bet, hand over 'Cold Light Legs'!"

Qin Ruhai's face broke into a hearty smile:

"Don't worry, my dear nephew, I've already sent someone to fetch it, and it will be delivered to you shortly."

Qin Ruhai turned around, pointed at Qin Feng rushing towards them, and burst into laughter: "Hahaha, my dear nephew, look, here he comes!"

Chu Hong took the book "Cold Light Legs" and calmly looked at Qin Ruhai and the others:

"Uncle Qin, the marriage agreement from back then was forced upon you because my father saved your life."

"Now that the Qin family wants to dissolve the engagement, I will not force them to do anything against their will."

He stood on the ring, looked around, and solemnly spoke:

"Today, I hereby announce that I am voluntarily annulling my engagement with the Qin family; the Qin and Chu families are no longer related."

These words caused the entire audience to erupt in cheers once again.

Many people cheered loudly, their shouts deafening.

She was tricked into breaking off the engagement, but now she's the one kicking the other side to the curb.

This reversal is truly gratifying.

Qin Ruhai loudly protested, "Nephew, nephew, you've misunderstood!"

"Our Qin family has never decided to annul the engagement with you. This was all that brat's idea, and has nothing to do with us."

Sure enough, that was exactly what the Qin family was planning.

If Xiang Rufei loses, all the blame will be placed on him.

But does your Qin family really think that prize was won for nothing?

Once you agree, you're already in the game.

Chu Hong's lips curled into a smile, and he spoke decisively:

"I don't care what the Qin family thinks."

"But even if I, Chu Hong, were to marry, I wouldn't marry a woman who's already engaged but is flirting with other men!"

Oh!

The disciples booed again.

They immediately recalled the rumors that Xiang Rufei and Qin Lin were on good terms.

Qin Lin from the Qin family, isn't she often seen going in and out of restaurants with Xiang Rufei?

Sometimes he doesn't even come home until late at night.

The Qin family members were ashen-faced, unable to refute the facts.

Stealing chickens will not lose rice.

They dared not linger there and quickly slunk away.

Having settled an old matter, Chu Hong stepped down from the arena with ease, awaiting the third match.

But after Chu Hong's incident, other arena battles immediately followed suit.

Each competition started offering prizes, making the exchange event quite lively.

Only Pang Hai, seeing Chu Hong shine once again, was somewhat exasperated, muttering under his breath, "Idiot!"

It's unclear whether they were cursing Xiang Rufei or the Qin family.

The third match was fast approaching, and Chu Hong's opponent was once again a strong fighter from the Hong Family Martial Arts School, even stronger than Du Xingzhou.

He is another talented disciple of the Hong Family Martial Arts School.

Chu Hong was unwilling to reveal too much of his strength, and besides, he was only here to make a show of things.

After several rounds of probing, he was defeated by a narrow margin.

Seeing this, Pang Hai shook his head dismissively:

"Movement techniques are ultimately unorthodox and unorthodox methods, and are of no use against truly strong opponents."

In his mind, although Chu Hong still needed to be dealt with, his threat level had decreased by one level.

The competition continued until evening before finally coming to an end.

The magistrate, with a calm and composed demeanor, slowly stepped forward and announced in a loud voice:

"This martial arts exchange was very exciting. Now, please have the top ten from each group come forward to receive your Blood Pool Cultivation Certificates."

The crowd was overjoyed and rushed forward.

Chu Hong stood below, not envious.

He guessed that something truly important would be announced soon.

After everyone had received their gifts, the magistrate's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a deep voice:

"Yesterday, the neighboring Huang'an County was attacked by the Wuyou Sect and mountain bandits, suffering heavy losses."

"There are also traces of the Wuyou Sect within my Yunxi County, and there are also bandits lurking outside the city, threatening the safety of my Yunxi County."

"Therefore, the county government and the five major families have decided to send the Yunxi Army to clear out the bandits outside the city. All martial arts elites may volunteer to join the army."

"Those who slay enemies and achieve merit will have their achievements recorded, which can be exchanged at the county government office for elixirs, martial arts techniques, and even access to the Blood Pool for cultivation!"

hum~

The martial arts school disciples were once again shocked.

Even Chu Hong's breathing quickened as a result.

"Magistrate, I want to participate! I want to participate!"

"Me too!"
