Chapter 20 One Punch
The Jiang family's martial arts training ground was crowded with people. Many clan members gathered here, making it extremely noisy and lively.
On one side of the martial arts training ground, in the contestants' rest area, Jiang Chen and Jiang Xing found a spot on the edge and sat on the floor.
"Hmph! I haven't seen that guy for more than a year, but he is getting more and more aggressive. It really makes me mad." Jiang Xing spat, with an angry look on his face.
Of course he was talking about Jiang Hai, who would disqualify a contestant at will. Even if the matter was brought to the Presbyterian Council, they would be justified, but who would have thought that Jiang Hai just acted like a matter of course and really thought he was the young patriarch?
?
"Haha! It's okay, it's just a mad dog. If he bites you, you can bite him back." Jiang Chen smiled slightly, his expression looking extremely calm.
"Uh! When did you become so talkative?"
Jiang Xing glanced at Jiang Chen in surprise, but he knew that despite the fact that the young man in front of him was usually so quiet, he actually had more arrogance in his heart than anyone else!
"It's very simple, because he can't get the position of young clan leader this year." Jiang Chen said lightly.
"Damn!" Jiang Xing was stunned, obviously shocked by these words. After all, Jiang Hai was the champion of the last competition, and his strength was so strong that even he was a little afraid of him.
Although the young man in front of him defeated Jiang Hong some time ago, Jiang Hong was just a dandy young master, and there was no comparison with Jiang Hai at all.
"You brat, don't be impulsive. Jiang Hai is not as simple as you think." Jiang Xing was afraid that Jiang Chen didn't know the depth, so he quickly reminded him.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything nonsense." Jiang Chen nodded, then changed the subject and said, "Brother Jiang Xing, I heard that you have become quite famous outside this year. The world outside must be very exciting."
When Jiang Xing talked about this, he became interested, and immediately told some interesting things about the outside world.
Jiang Chen listened with great interest and occasionally interjected a few words. The two of them chatted happily, and time passed quietly in this state.
Dang! Dang! Dang...
At a certain moment, a bell suddenly sounded in the martial arts training ground. As the bell rang, the noise in the field dispersed, and countless people turned their sights in the direction of the ring.
A total of nine bells rang, representing the official start of this family competition.
Next to the huge arena, on an obviously newly built high platform, some figures suddenly appeared.
There were six of these people in total, some were old and some were middle-aged, and they were the six elders of the Jiang family.
As the six elders appeared, the entire martial arts training ground became silent. Countless people looked up to the high platform with respect. The six people in front of them were the top leaders of the Jiang family.
Jiang Chen also looked over, and among them he saw the first elder Jiang Jingshan and the third elder Jiang Zhong. However, the third elder's face seemed a little ugly at this time, while the first elder looked smiling.
Jiang Chen was a little confused, but at this moment, the crowd under the high platform suddenly separated, and three figures came slowly.
Except for the two old men, the leader of the three people was a middle-aged man. As soon as he saw these three people arriving, the smile on the elder's face became more obvious.
"Haha, Brother Wang, you are late. I have been waiting for you for a long time." The great elder laughed and greeted him cheerfully.
"Haha, there are too many things happening in the clan, I hope the elder won't blame me."
The middle-aged man who was the leader of the three people also smiled. At this time, several other elders of the Jiang family also came over, but at this time they had different expressions.
Among them, the faces of the third elder and the fifth elder were a little gloomy, the second elder looked calm, and the fourth elder and the sixth elder were smiling.
Three strangers appeared on the high platform, which also caused many tribesmen in the audience to talk about it.
"Who are those people, and why are they on equal footing with the elders?"
"Hey, you didn't know this, right? Those people are from the three major families, and the middle-aged man leading them is Wang Tong, the eldest elder of the Wang family of the three major families." A familiar clan member explained from the sidelines.
"I'm a member of the Jiang family, what are the people from the three major families doing here?" Some clan members muttered in low voices with ugly faces, obviously they didn't like to see the three major families.
"You brat, it seems like something big is going to happen to the family today." Jiang Xing said with a solemn expression on the edge of the rest area.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Chen was shocked, and he also had a bad premonition.
Jiang Xing nodded with a heavy face and whispered, "The Great Elder lineage may not be able to bear it any longer. If Jiang Hai is allowed to take the position of Young Patriarch again..."
Jiang Xing didn't say any more, but Jiang Chen already understood what he meant.
In the Jiang family, except for the patriarch who has been missing for many years, the elders have the highest status, which has also led to several people being divided into several factions, among which the great elder is the strongest.
At this juncture, the great elder has invited people from the three major families. If they say there is nothing fishy among them, no one will believe it.
"It seems that the position of the young patriarch must be taken over," Jiang Chen thought secretly in his heart. No matter what the elder's conspiracy was, as long as the position of the young patriarch was gone, let's see what he could do.
While Jiang Chen was thinking secretly in his mind, the big guys on the high platform were already sitting in separate seats, and at this time, the Sixth Elder in black robes slowly stood up, and with a movement of his body, he appeared on the ring.
With the appearance of the Sixth Elder, a tyrannical coercion emanated from his body, and the voices of discussion in the martial arts field slowly disappeared, and all the tribesmen looked towards the ring.
The Sixth Elder nodded with satisfaction, a smile appeared on his old face, and at the same time, a majestic voice also sounded.
"The Jiang family competition has officially begun."
"The first game, Jiang Hu versus Jiang Qiu." The Sixth Elder held the scroll and read lightly.
Whoosh!
As soon as the Sixth Elder's voice fell, two young men rushed onto the ring. They were both young, about thirteen or fourteen years old. They started fighting without any nonsense when they came on stage.
Ding-ding-ding-ding!
One of them used a knife and the other used a sword. They fought equally well. From the looks of it, it was impossible to tell the winner for a while.
In the rest area, Jiang Chen shook his head slightly. Now that his strength has improved, he looks down on this kind of battle.
In the ring, the two teenagers fought for dozens of rounds. In the end, the boy named Jiang Hu was slightly better and won the game.
Then the second and third games began, and time passed by until the ninth game, when it was finally Jiang Chen's turn.
"The ninth game, Jiang Chen versus Jiang He."
As soon as the sixth elder's voice fell, there was an uproar in the audience.
"Are you kidding me? Jiang Chen versus Jiang He is looking for death!"
"Jiang Chen is unlucky enough to meet such a being in the first scene."
"Hehe, Jiang He broke through the seventh level of Juyuan a few days ago, it's really exciting now."
Many tribesmen were talking about each other, and the eyes they looked at Jiang Chen ranged from sympathy to gloating. They also had some understanding of the former. Although he was strong in combat, his low level of cultivation was his biggest weakness.
"How dare these damn guys do it so obviously." Jiang Xing's face also looked a little ugly. The competition had just begun, and Jiang Chen had encountered such a strong opponent. It was obvious that someone was causing trouble behind his back.
"Don't worry," Jiang Chen patted Jiang Xing's shoulder, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved.
"Since they want to play, let them have a taste of shooting themselves in the foot!"
When the words fell, Jiang Chen was already walking towards the ring.
On the ring, a young man named Jiang He had been waiting for a long time. This man was a sturdy young man with two axes on his back. He was looking at Jiang Chen who walked onto the ring with a playful expression.
"Jiang family, Jiang Chen, please enlighten me." Jiang Chen looked indifferent and slightly clasped his fists.
"Hey, I know you,"
Jiang He hugged his arms and looked condescending, "So now... will you jump down by yourself, or will I cripple you and throw you down?"
"Jiang Hai sent you here, right?" Jiang Chen ignored Jiang He's provocation and asked instead without answering.
"Huh?" Jiang He's face changed slightly, but he quickly realized it and said with a ferocious expression, "I'd better beat you to a disability!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang He clenched a fist with one hand, rushed out suddenly, and punched Jiang Chen fiercely.
He did not use weapons because in his opinion, Jiang Chen was not qualified to let him use weapons.
Oops!
The sound of breaking wind resounded. Faced with this punch, Jiang Chen did not retreat at all. He also made a fist with one hand and punched forward.
Everyone in the audience was stunned, looking at Jiang Chen as if he were a fool.
"This kid is crazy. He dares to compete with Jiang He. He is really looking for death."
"Haha, I think he wants to end the game early to avoid being humiliated!"
On the ring, Jiang He looked happy when he saw Jiang Chen also punching him. He was indeed sent by Jiang Hai, and the order he received was to try to cripple Jiang Chen. This kind of fighting method is correct at the moment.
It's what he wants to see.
"court death!"
Jiang He snorted in his heart and couldn't help but increase the strength in his fist.
"boom"
A low muffled sound sounded, followed by a shrill scream.
Everyone under the ring shook their heads slightly, thinking that Jiang Chen's arm should be broken now! But then someone discovered something was wrong.
Because on that ring, Jiang Chen was still standing there properly, and his arm was still in the posture of throwing a punch, but his opponent Jiang He was nowhere to be seen.
Everyone's eyes moved in the direction of Jiang Chen's fist, and then they were all stunned.
Under the ring in front of Jiang Chen, Jiang He was seen lying on the ground like a dead pig. His arm was twisted in an abnormal posture and was obviously broken.
At this time, Jiang He's shrill scream had just come.
It's a long story. In fact, the whole process happened in the blink of an eye. When Jiang He's scream sounded, everyone in the martial arts training ground came to their senses. Then, there was a huge uproar.
"How is it possible? Am I dazzled? Jiang He actually lost, and he lost so simply."
"Then isn't Jiang Chen in the third level of Juyuan? How could he be so strong?"
Not only those under the ring, but also the big guys on the high platform were stunned, especially the elder, whose face was slightly ugly.
The third elder is different from the first elder. Originally, his face was a little gloomy due to the arrival of people from the three major families, but now he has softened a lot.
On the ring, Jiang Chen felt the attention of the people at this moment, and his expression was calm. In that punch just now, he did not use his elemental power, but pure physical power. Of course, the reason why he defeated Jiang He so easily was because the opponent was underestimating the enemy.
for the sake of.
"Sixth Elder, can you announce the result?"
Jiang Chen turned around and looked at the Sixth Elder on one side of the ring. Only then did the Sixth Elder react.
Chapter completed!
