Two Out of Three

Three days later, the martial arts plaza in Lanjiang City was packed early in the morning. Please search for the latest and fastest updates.

The reason was simple: today was the Lanjiang City Lord Competition.

In the eyes of the Zhang Family and most people, the victory in this competition already belonged to 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It seemed the Zhang Family and the Wang Family had reached some sort of agreement, and the Wang Family had now withdrawn.

This meant only the Qin Family and the Zhang Family remained. However, without Qin Shaofeng, with Zhang Lingtian's strength, he was undoubtedly the champion, and the position of Lanjiang City Lord would fall to the Zhang Family.

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

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

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

His younger son, Zhang Lingyun, however, was different.

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

Zhang Lingyun said mockingly, "What, your Qin Family still hasn't given up? But even if you haven't, who will your Qin Family send? Are you planning to hire an outsider?"

With Zhang Lingyun's words, the crowd around the martial arts stage also began to discuss.

The Lanjiang City Lord Competition was a matter of considerable interest within Lanjiang City.

The martial arts stage was already surrounded by people.

They also wanted to know how the Qin Family would handle the situation with Qin Shaofeng's meridians crippled.

Would they, like the Wang Family, simply forfeit?

"No need. To deal with a few small fry, I'm enough by myself!" Qin Shaofeng suddenly said coldly.

This immediately made Zhang Lingyun somewhat enraged.

"Qin Shaofeng, what are you bragging about? Everyone in Lanjiang City knows you, Qin Shaofeng, now have crippled dantian and lost all your cultivation, making you a cripple. Not to mention my elder brother, even I can defeat you. I advise you to just admit defeat now, lest you bring shame to your Qin Family!"

Looking at Zhang Lingyun's smug mockery, Qin Shaofeng's eyes flickered, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

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

Competition: Three-star quest. In the Lanjiang City Lord Competition, defeat Zhang Lingtian and Zhang Lingyun separately, and obtain first place in the competition. Upon completion, you will receive 300 System Experience, 20 System Points, and an additional reward of one Heart of Thunder!

This was a quest the System had given Qin Shaofeng after he leveled up to the Houtian First Layer.

Originally, Qin Shaofeng had been somewhat 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 cripple. I'd like to ask, if you find yourself even more pathetic than me, what does that make you?"

"Are you dreaming? A cripple like you can compare to me?" Zhang Lingyun was shocked and angered that Qin Shaofeng dared to say such a thing, and he couldn't help but mock him.

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

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

The rumors outside clearly stated that Qin Shaofeng's dantian had been crippled, and he had become a cripple.

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

For a moment, no one could understand Qin Shaofeng.

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

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 have a best of three? Let the first round be between the young master of the Zhang Family and Qin Shaofeng of the Qin Family!"

This middle-aged man was the referee supervising the event, but his words clearly showed a bias towards the Zhang Family.

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

And a best of three?

This was clearly a tactic of wearing down the opponent!

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

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

Does he have any objections?

Could he possibly have any objections?

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

However, Old Master Qin's expression didn't change. He nodded slightly and said, "Since Lord Yuan has decided, then this old man naturally has no objections!"

Whoosh!

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

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

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

"Do you think Elder Qin had already anticipated this outcome and planned to have Young Master Qin directly concede once the competition began?"
