Chapter 490: The Contest Begins
"Uh, sorry."
Seeing Mu Qianxue's frosty face, Xiao Chen felt a little embarrassed.
However, after Xiao Chen finished speaking, Mu Qianxue immediately smiled and winked at him.
"Because of your good attitude, I will forgive you this time."
One cold and one hot, showing the true nature of pushing and pulling, Xiao Chen didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart, but many of the male contestants next to him had anger in their eyes at this moment.
"Xiao Chen, you actually came to participate in the competition. Hey, I hope that a weak woman like me won't run into you so early."
Mu Qianxue looked resentful, but Xiao Chen had been with her several times and understood that her usual words might be disguised.
And the most important point is that when Mu Qianxue was in the Shen Family Tangquan, she was very powerful!
Even more powerful than the captain and Mo Jinglan, Xiao Chen actually didn't have much confidence that he could win her.
"Which team are you competing for?"
"Nandu, the captain has asked us to gather. We can make an appointment for dinner later."
Mu Qianxue winked, and Shi Shiran walked away.
Xiao Chen sighed, no wonder Liu Zimo suffered a loss from her. With such an unpredictable, charming and seductive look, any man would probably fall for her.
Not to mention, her face is absolutely beautiful.
"Nandu... If she enters, this game will be really hard to win."
Fortunately, Xiao Chen knew her abilities very well, while Mu Qianxue didn't know him very well.
"This competition will adopt a 3v3 competition system. All players will appear at the same time. If the last person loses their combat effectiveness, they will be considered a failure. I hope everyone will uphold this..."
During the polite conversation stage, no one was interested. It was not until the host mentioned the rewards that everyone became quiet.
"The champion team will each be rewarded with a B-level prototype!"
"The runner-up team will each be rewarded with 4 essence stones or soul stones, which can be chosen according to your choice."
"The third runner-up team will each be awarded a C-level original weapon."
After the host finished speaking on the stage, many contestants began to breathe quickly. Most of the people present were Awakeners of level four or above, but B-level prototypes were equally precious to them.
"Okay, the match schedule will be sent out immediately. The match will start in 30 minutes. Everyone, go get ready."
After the host finished speaking, Xiao Chen followed everyone back to the exclusive seats belonging to his area.
.....................
From the viewing platform in Area B, looking at the list of contestants in his hand, He Wenchai looked at He Mengqi not far away with a somewhat ugly expression.
He walked over and lowered his voice.
"Meng Qi, what happened? Didn't I ask you to invite Xiao Chen?"
He Wencai originally had some matters abroad, so he delegated the power of the Imperial Capital Branch of the Martial Alliance to He Mengqi in advance.
But when he came back and saw that Xiao Chen was not on the list of the Imperial Capital branch, He Wencai was immediately dumbfounded.
"I called him, but he didn't answer many times. I was afraid of being delayed, so..."
He Mengqi looked a little embarrassed and his face turned slightly hot.
He Wen rushed back early, which she really didn't expect.
"I thought he was unavailable, so I just chose someone else."
When He Wen saw her expression, he knew that He Mengqi didn't mean what he said. He sighed and He Wen shook his head.
"It seems that delegating family power to the younger generation in advance is too hasty."
Normally, he would have to work for a few more years.
However, since Zhong Hanxiao first came to the He family because of the Japanese spies, He Wuzong gave them other orders.
Awakened ones who are above the middle level of the fifth level of their family should try their best to put down what they are doing and work towards a higher level of strength.
Although I don't know He Wuzong's intention for such an arrangement, after all, He Wuzong is still the person with the most say in the family.
According to He Wentai's knowledge, it seems that several other big aristocratic families also have a tendency to do this.
"I don't know what's going to happen."
He Wencai glanced at He Mengqi with disappointment and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Seeing that He Wen was not prepared to continue pursuing the investigation, He Mengqi also breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Actually, it's not necessarily impossible without Xiao Chen. I invited Wu Pengfei, who is also an excellent fifth-level awakener. With him here, the champion will definitely belong to the Imperial Capital Branch."
After He Mengqi finished speaking, He Wentai felt a little better, nodded, and said nothing more.
In fact, it doesn't matter who the champion is or who is rewarded, it's mainly a matter of face.
If the area under the control of the He family loses to some other areas, the He family will be a little embarrassed.
"Well? Xiao Chen, don't you have the same name?"
He Wencai continued to browse the list and discovered that Xiao Chen's name actually appeared on the Lingnan Branch's entry list.
It left him in a daze for a while.
However, He Mengqi had already walked away, and it was inconvenient for him to ask again, so he looked at the corner of the martial arts field belonging to the Lingnan Branch.
"It's actually here."
He Wencai's eyes lit up.
The biggest reason why he was angry before was that he failed to establish a good cooperative relationship with Xiao Chen.
What do you mean by Xiao Chen’s rejection?
Based on his understanding of He Mengqi, this child has had the temper of a princess since she was a child, and she will be very angry if she disobeys her wishes.
I probably made a few phone calls and gave up after feeling unhappy.
"Lingnan...should be the team led by Mengshan?"
Previously, the He family mainly led the Imperial Capital and Magic City branches, and the Lingnan region only occupied part of the management rights.
However, because the previous president of the Lingnan region admired He Mengshan very much, she gradually let her take over the position.
Nowadays, the Lingnan branch can be considered half of the branch controlled by the He family.
"Hongzhi? Lao Wu is actually here too?"
The major branches are located around the stadium, and in the corresponding auditorium, a middle-aged man with unshaven beard and disheveled clothes can be seen, holding a wine bottle, sitting there slightly decadently.
"This is the fifth old man."
Ever since He Hongzhi's son died unexpectedly in the wilderness, he has been in this state, and no one in the family can say anything about it.
He Wen shook his head and came to He Hongzhi's side within a few minutes.
"Lao Wu, you're actually here too."
He Hongzhi raised his head, his eyes did not waver, he took a sip of wine and said calmly.
"Idleness is also idleness."
He Wencai was the third eldest son in the family and had always had a good relationship with He Hongzhi. Seeing his appearance now, he said slowly.
"You care about Mengshan, are you embarrassed to say it?"
He Hongzhi snorted coldly.
"I want to see if she will bring shame to the family. If she doesn't do well, don't do it in the Martial Alliance branch."
He Wen didn't know how to answer this, so he patted his shoulder and walked back to the viewing room in Area B.
"The game has started. For the teams on the first round match list, please come to the corresponding competition venue immediately."
After the host finished speaking, the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene suddenly became excited.
"Southern Capital vs. Magic Capital!"
Xiao Chen, who was sitting under the stage, could not help but shrink his pupils.
In the first round, their opponent was very weak. He Mengshan was not prepared to let him go into battle. Xiao Chen was just ready to see the strength of these people.
As a result, at first glance, I saw this game sequence.
Chapter completed!
