High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

Chapter 190 Temporary Stay at the Shi Family Residence

On the plane home, Chen Shi wondered whether the lottery for the contestants in this competition was truly random or pseudo-random.

Is it possible for him and Xuexin to be matched with the strongest player in this state competition in advance?

A single match can decide the outcome; it's truly cruel.

Chen Shi's biggest fear is facing Xue Xin in the third or fourth round, which would be a very difficult situation.

I have to transfer schools and states for high school.

Xue'er was having a great time in Jiangzhou, and then went to other states to cause trouble for the Long family!

Over the next two days.

The chat group is very lively.

Jiang Cheng angrily retorted, "Are you crazy? How come I have a bunch of dragons and elephants here?"

"I don't understand! Why don't you go find Chen Shi!"

Chen Shi was amused and asked, "Is it very intense?"

Jiang Cheng: "Damn it, at least two superpowers, and there's even a triple superpower! And that gray martial intent even has resistance!"

"Fortunately, my skills were a step ahead, and I won the second round, taking down a dragon-elephant."

"But there are still a bunch of people waiting to snipe me. Am I strong? I'm very low-key!"

Chen Shi was also puzzled and said, "I only have one 14-year-old Long Xiang here."

Jiang Cheng: "Why are you being targeted so lightly?!"

Shi Yuandao said, "Because our Jiangzhou is stable."

"In the eyes of the Long family, Jiangzhou is still a place that they can take away."

"And you, Beizhou, Beiyang, and the far north, are definitely enemies, which is why the intensity is so high."

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Cheng said, "Doesn't that mean their real intentions weren't what they seemed?"

"Is their main objective not to target us, but rather their 'enemy states'?"

"Of course," Shi Yuan said. "How could a struggle of that level be specifically targeted at a kid like you?"

"What they're going to do is seize the resources of an entire state and crush the younger generation of your three states!"

"I'm scared. Two succubi from the Dragon Clan came to me the other day, and they really got my heart racing."

Jiang Cheng: "What do you mean? A honey trap?"

"Yeah," Shi Yuan said. "My buddy almost pulled his pants off in the street, one on each side, both of them at once. I was really scared."

"Then my master told me, 'Stay calm and don't be reckless. Take it one year at a time.'"

"So you're saying I have to be tested by your seduction every day? I really can't take it anymore, my dick's rock hard!"

Jiang Cheng: "Damn it, why didn't they use that trick on me?!"

"I rely on it!"

"I want to use my beauty to seduce you too!"

Mu Yuan: "Go eat shit! I told you long ago, no one would ever want you!"

Chen Shi asked curiously, "What about you? You didn't run into any trouble, did you?"

Mu Yuan: "I'm only a first-year high school student. I'll just focus on playing in the city-level competition. I won't run into them, hehe."

Chen Shi: "Where's Jiahao?"

Jiahao: "I encountered a dragon-lion, and I'm not sure I can beat it. My talent is a bit lacking, so it's a bit frustrating."

Chen Shi: "Keep it up!"

"Where's Jacky Cheung?"

Jacky Wong: "We have many dragon and lion dance teams from North Continent, but today I'm only competing in a provincial competition, facing one opponent, so there's no pressure."

"I feel like I'll be facing a lot of opponents in next year's state tournament."

"Be careful, not only the Long family, but also the geniuses of the state who are on the Long family's side."

"The East Continent, the East Ocean, the South Continent, and the South Ocean—all of these families might send people to us because there are just too many of them from the Long family. They're determined to break into the Star Learning System. The resources of those four continents aren't enough to go around, so they're all coming to snatch ours."

Chen Shi nodded silently.

Now it's certain that the four continents are on the Long family's side.

The situation was a bit complicated, but Chen Shi was too lazy to think about it too much and just focused on doing his job well.

In the third round, 30 contestants were narrowed down to 16. One contestant received a bye, and to everyone's surprise, that person was Zhang Xuexin.

Do girls who smile a lot really have good luck?

He advanced directly to the third round and won the 20 yuan prize.

Chen Shi did not face any particularly strong opponents; his opponents in the third round were even weaker than those in the second round, allowing him to easily advance to the fourth round.

16 to 8.

At this point, the schedule becomes very tight.

Chen Shi stopped taking flights and went directly to Shi Yuan's house to stay overnight.

However, Shi Yuan is not at home. He is going through a crucial period of university life in Zhongzhou and will not come back unless there is something important.

Chen Shiqian simply borrowed the palace in the state lord's mansion to practice, and occasionally he would run into Yang Yi, who had visited his home before. The man was still cold and aloof, wearing a trench coat and carrying a gun, going back and forth to work every day.

This made Chen Shi wonder if he would become like this in the future, with little time for cultivation?

Yang Yi was stunned when he heard the question.

"From now on, the issue won't be whether we have time to cultivate, but whether we have the resources to cultivate. That's why we need to work hard."

"Keep up the good work, young man, and don't overthink it."

Furthermore, while staying at the Jiangzhou Prefecture Lord's Mansion, he occasionally encountered members of the Long family. He didn't see Long Xiangxing, but he did see some older members who were trying their best to bring the Jiangzhou Prefecture Lord to their side.

One day, Chen Shi even saw a woman who looked remarkably similar to the one in white go upstairs, and even their demeanor was quite similar.

Chen Shi thought to himself, "Why does the Long family like to use honey traps?"

The master's wife said, "Isn't it because Shi Xincheng's weakness is so obvious? Why not take advantage of it?"

The master chuckled and said, "This is just the beginning. When the political struggle gets to the later stages, you will see even more exciting things."

"Damage to each company is being exposed!"

"There's nothing they can't do, only things you can't imagine!"

Chen Shi raised an eyebrow and said, "Does our family also have some dirty secrets?"

"Of course," the master said calmly. "You kids always have a biased view of important figures, but you're all just human. Let's not even talk about anything else; the red-robed man definitely has a lot of dirt on him!"

"My dad should be alright, it's just that his dirty secrets from when he was young got exposed."

"Xiahou Dongjun doesn't know; that person is a bit old."

"Shi Xincheng should be the one who caused a scene in the National Assembly back then, which can't be considered a scandal."

"What do you mean?" Chen Shi asked in surprise, "Disrupt the National Assembly?"

The master described the scene vividly: "He was the previous minister of Hengtian Border Region."

"Jiangzhou came later."

"He spent his entire life in the army and had no intention of leaving. Moreover, he had a very bad temper; when he got angry, he wouldn't even acknowledge his own family. At the time, he even pointed at the Emperor and said, 'I, Shi Xincheng, have fought battles my whole life and raised Hengtian Border Troops to be like this. Now you turn your back on me and transfer them away like that. What will happen to my soldiers and my family?'"

"Who's going to take care of this?!"

Chen Shi asked in surprise, "Isn't everyone saying that Lord Shi has a very good temper?"

"We must endure it." The master shook his head and said, "If Shi Xincheng really pushes us too far, even the human race will tremble."

The master's wife added, "Actually, the governor of Shizhou just doesn't want to come back and face the Long family."

"Those on the border can remain detached from worldly affairs and need not concern themselves with matters in the interior."

"But at that time, the governor of Jiangzhou passed away, and there was no one else. If he didn't take office, then Bai Yi would come, or a member of the Long family would take office. Shi Xincheng's heart softened immediately, and he thought that Bai Yi couldn't deal with Long Yichuan."
