Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

Countless eyes were fixed on the corpse nailed to the stands, and the murmurs of discussion merged into a deafening roar.

Chen Duhu is dead!

A top-tier expert who has dominated Tianyuan City for decades.

He died just like that.

He died at the hands of a sixteen-year-old girl!

Whether they were ordinary onlookers or members of the powerful elite, everyone watched this scene in disbelief.

"My God..."

"Just what kind of monsters are these two? How could they possibly kill a sixth-tier expert!"

"With Chen Duhu dead, can the Dark Moon Legion continue to dominate the top spot?!"

"The world is about to change in Tianyuan City!"

"..."

Some were shocked, some were bewildered, and some were excited.

Chen Duhu died.

The Darkmoon Chapter will inevitably struggle to retain its position as the number one chapter.

This is an opportunity to reshuffle the deck! Those with strength and ambition have sensed something unusual.

Some people are afraid.

Second tier of the stands.

Chen Ping witnessed firsthand the scene of Chen Duhu being killed by Ling Aoshuang.

Fear, grief, and anger surged wildly in his chest. He wanted to rush out and fight the two men, but in the end, fear prevailed.

He cannot die.

He has to live.

Only by living can one take revenge!

"I will make you wish you were dead...!"

With a look of resentment and venom in his eyes, Chen Ping gritted his teeth and, taking advantage of the chaos around him, hunched over and quickly moved toward the exit.

Escape! There's hope as long as we escape!

Just when he was about to succeed.

call out! !

A sharp, piercing sound rang out behind him.

Chen Ping's blood suddenly froze.

He turned around abruptly and saw a long, icy blue spear hurtling toward him, its speed so fast that he didn't even have time to think of dodging.

puff!

The ice spear pierced his chest, sending him flying and slamming him against the wall of the stands.

Chen Ping looked down in astonishment at the bowl-sized hole in his chest.

He spat out blood and foam.

His head slowly drooped down.

Chen Ping.

dead!

The noise in the room suddenly quieted down for a moment, followed by an even more violent uproar.

"They even killed Chen Duhu's son!"

"This is about eliminating the root of the problem!"

"That girl's ruthless!"

Lu Qingshan finally couldn't sit still any longer.

He suddenly stood up, smashed the table in front of him with a single palm strike, and unleashed the full power of a seventh-level expert.

"That's enough!"

His voice was filled with suppressed anger: "What you've done has gone far!"

Jiang Chuan raised his head and looked at the city lord on the stage, his eyes as calm as a stagnant pool.

"Too much?"

He chuckled and said, "Chen Duhu openly broke the rules of the martial arts tournament and attacked a participant in front of tens of thousands of people. Why didn't City Lord Lu say he went too far?"

Lu Qingshan's face twitched violently. He had indeed wanted to stop it, but he didn't have time.

but.

Even if he intervenes, the result will be the same.

He can't possibly punish his subordinate severely for a Tier 1 professional, can he?

Jiang Chuan continued, "When the top battle group of Tianyuan City joined forces to bully a little girl and force her to sign a contract of servitude, why didn't City Lord Lu come out to uphold justice?"

"I've simply made him receive the punishment he deserved..."

"How is that going too far?"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

That's too blunt.

It was practically slapping Lu Qingshan in the face in public.

Lu Qingshan's expression changed repeatedly. If it were anyone else, he would have already attacked them if they dared to speak to him like that.

But when facing Jiang Chuan...

He dare not.

in fact.

He was just saying something to make it sound polite.

If he really wanted to stop it, he could have stopped Ling Aoshuang when she made her move, instead of just watching Chen Ping get killed.

Chen Duhu was a powerful figure in Tianyuan City. If he didn't even make a statement after his descendants were wiped out, what would become of his authority as the city lord?

What will his subordinates think of him?

No matter what.

The two young people opposite them are completely clueless about social etiquette!

Not only did she not accept the way out he offered, but she also turned the tables on him, putting him in an awkward position!

Just as the scene froze, a gentle voice came from the side.

"Alright."

Zhou Yuan stepped in to smooth things over.

He smiled and said, "These are all prominent figures in Tianyuan City. Why are they arguing and making a spectacle of themselves in front of tens of thousands of people? What kind of nonsense is that?"

Lu Qingshan snorted coldly and didn't reply.

Zhou Yuan then looked at Jiang Chuan and nodded slightly: "Young brother, may I have a word with you in private?"

Jiang Chuan glanced at him calmly, without saying anything, but the meaning in his eyes was very clear.

Who are you criticizing?

Seeing this scene, Yuan Ziyi couldn't help but chuckle. This Mr. Jiang's temper was indeed terrible; he didn't even put the two regional officials of Tianyuan City in his eyes.

She quickly said, "Mr. Jiang, there are too many people around; this is definitely not the place to talk."

"Chen Duhu is dead."

"We can discuss any other requests you may have in detail."

Her implication was that Jiang Chuan could take advantage of the situation to rob someone legally and legitimately without openly defying the authority of the Federation.

If Jiang Chuan could tell, the other two naturally could too.

But neither Lu Qingshan nor Zhou Yuan seemed too surprised.

In their view.

Jiang Chuan is flexing his muscles in an attempt to gain a voice.

Otherwise, what else could have motivated him to kill a high-ranking chapter commander in public? ... It couldn't really be a case of acting rashly for the sake of a woman, could it?

Jiang Chuan then nodded in agreement.

Inside the arena, there is a private meeting room that is not open to the public.

The room was small, with a long table in the middle.

The five people took their seats.

Zhou Yuan took the initiative to speak, "Now that everyone is here, let's get straight to the point."

He adjusted his glasses and expressed goodwill to Jiang Chuan: "Chen Duhu attacked the contestants and disrupted the order of the martial arts tournament. He deserved to die. I believe everyone agrees on that."

There were five people present.

Four people applauded Chen Duhu's death.

Jiang Chuan and Ling Aoshuang go without saying, Zhou Yuan can use this opportunity to weaken Lu Qingshan's power, and Yuan Ziyi can take the opportunity to seize the Dark Moon Battle Group's business.

Only Lu Qingshan's face twitched.

But he didn't say anything.

Everyone is dead.

Even if he had immense dissatisfaction, he could only suppress it at this moment.

Zhou Yuan continued, "The Dark Moon Legion is currently leaderless. We need to quickly send someone to take over to prevent further chaos, so..."

I don't want to get involved in the Darkmoon Chapter's affairs.

Jiang Chuan suddenly spoke.

Interrupting him, she said, "I'm here just to confirm who got the admission spot."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Ling is the champion of this martial arts tournament, so that spot should rightfully belong to her."

Jiang Chuan asked, "What about the other one?"

"Which one?"

Zhou Yuan didn't react for a moment.

Jiang Chuan reminded him, "Chen Ping is dead."

Zhou Yuan was taken aback, then said, "According to the rules, the Dark Moon Legion can recommend new candidates, or City Lord Lu and I can discuss and redistribute them."

He pronounced the last sentence very clearly.

The implication was that this matter had nothing to do with Jiang Chuan; he was not part of the power structure of Tianyuan City and had no right to directly interfere in the allocation of quotas.

Jiang Chuan remained noncommittal.

In fact.

His goal has now been achieved.

He got Yuan Ziyi's recommendation, and Ling Aoshuang also received her deserved reward. Both of them could enter Xingmian Academy, which was the best outcome.

but.

Chen Ping's spot is also very useful to him.

Zhou Yuan waited a moment, and seeing that he didn't react, he had no choice but to continue: "Mr. Jiang, you helped Miss Ling get the championship spot, that's your skill, but what about Chen Ping's spot..."

"I want it."

Jiang Chuan said calmly.

The conference room fell silent. Lu Qingshan suddenly looked up, his anger finally bursting forth: "You want it? What right do you have to take it? Who do you think you are?!"

Zhou Yuan also said, "Star Crown Academy only has a thousand enrollment slots each year, which are distributed among hundreds of cities across the country. Some small cities don't even get one."

"Tianyuan City was able to get five, which is already due to its strategic location and the special treatment it received from the Federation."

"You want to take it..."

We need an explanation.

His tone remained mild throughout, but when it came to key interests, he showed no intention of backing down an inch.

Jiang Chuan glanced at him, then looked at Yuan Ziyi.

Yuan Ziyi shrugged slightly, indicating that she was powerless to help.

Jiang Chuan said, "I said from the beginning that I will not take a single penny of the assets under the Dark Moon Legion, I only want this spot."

These words were spoken.

The expressions on everyone's faces immediately became subtle.

Chen Duhu is dead, but the Dark Moon Legion he left behind is a very large pie.

It is widely rumored that the Yuan family behind the Craftsman's Pavilion controls half of the city's wealth.

In fact.

The Dark Moon Legion is the real behemoth, possessing half the wealth of Tianyuan City!

His businesses are spread throughout the city, including dozens of fixed shops, mines, and secret realms, and his working capital is an astronomical figure!

And whether it's Lu Qingshan,

It was still Zhou Yuan.

They've all already assumed that Jiang Chuan is the one who gets to share the spoils.

His words truly surprised everyone. Lu Qingshan calmed down and stared at him, saying, "Are you serious?"

"If I wanted those things, I could have taken them the moment Chen Duhu died. There's no need for me to sit here and waste my breath talking to you."

That's a very arrogant statement.

But all three people present knew that he was telling the truth.

Based on the strength he just displayed, if he really wanted to seize the Dark Moon Legion's assets, no one in Tianyuan City could stop him.

He did not do that.

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, re-examining the young man in front of him.

"Just a few spots?"

He confirmed it.

Jiang Chuan said, "I have no interest in the power games of your Tianyuan City, nor do I want to develop any influence here."

Zhou Yuan immediately smiled and gave Lu Qingshan a look: "Since that's the case... it's easy to discuss!"
