Chapter 73: The Competition Begins
"One hundred thousand iron objects, I don't know it will be the year of the monkey after the completion of the crafting. I must be very strong at that time. Even if he finds out, I won't be afraid!"
After fooling Tie Xuantong, Xiao Chao changed back to his original appearance, took a shower, walked around the street a few times, and bought a lot of delicious and interesting things.
After more than an hour, Xiao Chao was also tired, so he swaggered home.
When he got home, Xiao Chao saw Xiaocao was also sitting in the yard, his hair was still wet, obviously he had just washed it.
"Master, when did you meet the spirit-level foundry master and invite you to live in our house?"
Seeing Xiao Chao's return, Xiaocao immediately went over to ask in a low voice, with puzzled and curious expressions on her face.
After 7 days in the forest, she also learned a lot about the world of warriors and what it meant to be a spirit-level foundry master.
"How could you know everything about the young master!"
Xiao Chao pretended to be mysterious.
Xiaocao nodded involuntarily, then suddenly remembered something, and quickly took out a stack of bank notes from her arms.
"Young master, this is the deposit you gave to Master Tie last time. In addition, there is also the silver we sold for the mysterious beast materials. He asked me to return it to you!"
Xiao Chao took it and counted it, no more, no less, a total of 40,000 taels.
"This Tie Xuantong, I even gave some more!"
Xiao Chao took advantage, feeling very happy, and then he exported 15,000, handed it to Xiaocao, and said, "No, this is your share."
This time hunting the mysterious beast, everyone got 4 points, and Xiaocao also got a share.
"How can Xiaocao take the young master's money!" Xiaocao waved her hands repeatedly, and then said: "Besides, Xiaocao doesn't need money to follow the young master!"
"This is the money you used to hunt mysterious beasts. You are a martial artist now, and you always have to buy pills. In addition, in case you encounter a suitable martial arts one day, you have to buy it with silver!"
Xiao Chao stuffed the banknote into Xiaocao's hand.
Xiaocao still wanted to refuse, but Xiao Chao straightened his face and said in a commanding tone: "Be obedient, take it!"
"Then, thank you, young master!"
Xiaocao quickly put away the bank notes, and helped Xiao Chao carry the things in.
After resting comfortably at home for a few days, the time for the outer disciple competition finally arrived.
Leaving Xiaocao to stay at home, Xiao Chao went out early in the morning and went to Xiao's martial arts arena.
The Xiao family's martial arts arena was crowded with crowds. Besides the 57 outer disciples of Xiao Chao's generation who participated in the competition, there were also many members of the Xiao family who came to watch, either to watch the excitement or gain knowledge.
In the east of the martial arts arena, there are 4 large red nanmu chairs, which are still empty at the moment.
In the south, there are also 8 big red nanmu chairs, and 8 old people are sitting on the chairs.
These 8 elders are not members of the main clan, but 8 of the 9 elders of the branch clan.
The status of the Xiao family branch is not as good as that of the main clan, but these nine people are in charge of running the mysterious beast business. They have a wide network of contacts and provide the members of the main clan with training resources. Apart from being unable to concentrate on martial arts, they have a higher status than many members of the main clan.
"We must work hard. Even if I am not a warrior and cannot enter the main clan, I still have to strive to be favored by the nine elders. I will be superior to others in the future and save a lot of trouble!"
"Follow the nine elders to raise mysterious beasts. Although it is a bit dangerous, you can earn enough money. You can buy pills in the future and continue to improve your strength!"
"Strange, why did only 8 of the 9 great elders come? If one is missing, wouldn't it be a missing opportunity?"
"I heard that the Great Elder Xiao Xuan is a drunkard, he probably didn't wake up when he was drunk!"
...
The outer disciples are gearing up for each other.
At this time, Xiao Chao walked into the crowd.
Although everyone didn't know that Xiao Chao had already become a martial artist, but he had won ten consecutive victories in the Chuyun Challenge, and he was very famous, so many outer disciples stepped aside one after another.
"Xiao Chao, you are finally here!"
Xiao Tianzuo had been looking at the light all the time, seeing Xiao Chao approaching at this moment, he walked over immediately.
Behind Xiao Tianzuo, there are 14 people following. They are all fighters of Xiao Chao's generation, and their names have been written into the roster of the main clan.
"Xiao Chao, three days ago you hid behind a woman and let that martial artist friend block me, but today's big competition, let me see where you hide!"
Xiao Tianzuo sneered and walked in front of Xiao Chao, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Xiao Chao, you should be praying for your own good luck and not to touch me, right? But unfortunately, I have already bribed you The referee of the competition put you and me on the first list, so we will definitely meet!"
"Really? I don't care!"
Xiao Chao shrugged his shoulders with a calm expression.
Xiao Tianzuo was even more angry when he saw Xiao Chao's indifferent expression, as if he had punched cotton.
"Hmph, just pretend, let's see if you can still be so calm!" Xiao Tianzuo snorted angrily, extremely angry.
"Xiao Chao, although you have a good talent and you have won ten consecutive victories in Chuyun Challenge, it's a pity that you have been useless for three years and can't become a warrior. Without true energy, a warrior can't compete with a warrior at all!"
"That's right, Xiao Chao, just give in and kowtow to Tian Zuo to make amends. We are all from the Xiao family, and this matter will be over!"
...
On the side, Xiao Tianzuo's companion seemed to persuade, but actually helped Xiao Tianzuo humiliate Xiao Chao.
Xiao Chao used to live in a small village outside the city, and when he first arrived in Yuyang City, he became disabled and went to the racecourse because of practicing "Tenglonghuarijue", so these peers have no affection for him, let alone help him.
Looking at them, Xiao Chao seemed to be looking at a group of jumping clowns, thinking about what their expressions should be after the competition is over.
At this moment, the martial arts field suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked in one direction.
Xiao Chao also looked over, only to see the handsome Xiao Fengyun in green clothes, walking in, followed by 3 energetic old men behind him.
"The head of the family is retreating, and this time the outer disciple competition will be presided over by me, Xiao Fengyun!..."
Xiao Fengyun stepped onto the ring, said a few words first, roughly meaning that he was looking forward to this big competition, and welcomed the new batch of companions who entered the main clan, and then encouraged his back.
After finishing speaking, Xiao Fengyun walked off the ring and sat on the big red nanmu chair in the center.
The other three elders also took their seats.
"It's definitely not easy for those three to be able to sit with Xiao Fengyun! At least they must be 8th level warriors."
Xiao Chao took a deep look at the three people, and found that the breath of the three people was restrained very well, just like ordinary people.
When Xiao Fengyun stepped down from the stage, a middle-aged man walked to the center of the ring.
"This time, the rules are the same as in previous years. According to the two-two competition, the winner will advance to the next level!..." The middle-aged referee roughly explained the rules.
"This is the referee Xiao Tianzuo bribed? I wonder if he will regret it later!" Xiao Chao sneered.
"The first competition, Xiao Tianzuo against Xiao Chao!"
The middle-aged referee announced.
