Three-Star Mission

Three days later, at the martial arts square in Lanjiang City, it was crowded early in the morning.

The reason was simple: today was the competition for the City Lord of Lanjiang City.

In the eyes of the Zhang Family and most people, this competition was already a victory for the Zhang Family.

It seemed the Zhang Family and the Wang Family had reached some sort of agreement, and the Wang Family had now withdrawn.

In other words, only the Qin Family and the Zhang Family remained. However, without Qin Shaofeng, Zhang Lingtian's strength would undoubtedly secure him the championship, and the position of City Lord of Lanjiang City would fall to the Zhang Family.

The Zhang Family was even brazenly accepting congratulations from some people.

On the other side of the martial arts stage, Old Master Qin and Qin Shaofeng of the Qin Family had already arrived.

Upon seeing Old Master Qin, the head of the Zhang Family, Zhang Chongshan, sneered but said nothing.

However, his younger son, Zhang Lingyun, was different.

"Yo, Qin Shaofeng, I didn't expect you'd still dare to show up!"

Zhang Lingyun said with a face full of mockery, "What, is your Qin Family still not giving up? But even if you're not giving up, who will your Qin Family send? Are you planning to hire an outsider?"

As Zhang Lingyun spoke, the crowd around the martial arts stage began to discuss.

The competition for the City Lord of Lanjiang City was being closely watched by many in Lanjiang City.

The martial arts stage was already surrounded by people.

They also wanted to know how the Qin Family would cope with Qin Shaofeng being crippled.

Would they also concede like the Wang Family?

"No need. For some insignificant pests, I'm enough!" Qin Shaofeng suddenly said coldly.

This statement made Zhang Lingyun somewhat enraged.

"Qin Shaofeng, what are you bragging about? Everyone in Lanjiang City knows you, Qin Shaofeng, have a crippled dantian now and are a good-for-nothing with no cultivation. Not to mention my elder brother, you can't even beat me. I advise you to just admit defeat now to avoid embarrassing your Qin Family!"

Looking at Zhang Lingyun, who was smugly mocking him, Qin Shaofeng's eyes flickered, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

Ha, this Zhang Lingyun is really playing along. I was still thinking about how to lure you in, but you've come to my doorstep yourself.

Competition: Three-star mission. In the competition for the City Lord of Lanjiang City, defeat Zhang Lingtian and Zhang Lingyun respectively, and win first place in the competition. Upon completion, you will receive 300 System experience points, 20 System points, and an additional reward of one Thunder Heart!

This was a mission the System had given Qin Shaofeng after he leveled up to the first level of Houtian.

Qin Shaofeng had initially been troubled about how to get Zhang Lingyun to participate.

But now...

Qin Shaofeng slowly stood up and looked at Zhang Lingyun, saying, "Zhang Lingyun, you keep calling me a good-for-nothing. I'd like to ask, if you find out you're even more pathetic than me, what does that make you?"

"Are you dreaming? You good-for-nothing can compare to me?" Zhang Lingyun was shocked that Qin Shaofeng dared to say such a thing. While indignant, he couldn't help but mock him.

"Oh, really?" Qin Shaofeng chuckled lightly and then said directly, "In that case, let's have a match."

As soon as Qin Shaofeng said this, the entire martial arts square fell silent.

The rumors outside clearly stated that Qin Shaofeng's dantian had been crippled, and he had become a good-for-nothing.

Yet, at this moment, why did he speak with such confidence?

For a moment, everyone couldn't understand Qin Shaofeng.

Not far away, a hint of confusion flashed in Zhang Chongshan's eyes, and he felt a sense of surprise.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in the official attire of the Lianyang Kingdom smiled and said, "Since that's the case, in my opinion, why not make it a best of three? The first round can be between the young master of the Zhang Family and Qin Shaofeng of the Qin Family!"

This middle-aged man was the supervisor and referee for this event. However, his words clearly showed a bias towards the Zhang Family.

Who didn't know that Qin Shaofeng was the only hope of the Qin Family?

A best of three?

This was clearly a war of attrition!

A hint of joy flashed in Zhang Chongshan's eyes, and he immediately agreed, "Lord Yuan is right, let's make it a best of three! Does Old Master Qin have any objections?"

As he spoke, Zhang Chongshan turned to ask Old Master Qin, but his words held a hidden meaning.

Did he have any objections?

Could he have any objections?

After all, Lord Yuan had already spoken. If he objected, wouldn't that mean offending Lord Yuan?

However, Old Master Qin's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly, "Since Lord Yuan has decided, then this old man naturally has no objections!"

Whoosh!

As Old Master Qin nodded, the crowd erupted in a clamor.

"No way! Is it really going to be a best of three?"

"It's over. In this situation, it was already disadvantageous for the Qin Family. With this, I'm afraid..."

"You guys think, could it be that Old Master Qin had already anticipated this outcome and planned to have the Eldest Young Master Qin forfeit as soon as the competition began?"
