537 Eight Aristocratic Families (1/2)
”I was wondering just what sort of man would be the person who saved the six great sects, considering his name has spread so far and wide, but I didn't expect that he would be a brat who hasn't even weaned yet. It's as expected of someone who came from a certain family. Could the people who spread the news be people hired from the Murong Clan?”
”Brother Xicheng, how could you say that to Lady Murong?”
”That's right. I believe that even if this truly happened, Lady Murong wouldn't know about it. Isn't that so, Lady Murong?”
The aristocratic people were dressed in brocade robes and wore jade accessories while mocking the Murong Clan one after another. Their words were very unpleasant.
Happy frowned in secret.
When he came, the Murong Clan Lady had reminded him that the eight aristocratic families were filled with hostility toward the Murong Clan and that they might take action during the martial arts tournament. He did not expect, however, that before he even gained his footing, all sorts of provocations would have already begun.
At the moment the system rang, Happy frowned.
”Ding!
”You are currently facing the provocation from the eight aristocraric families, and Lady Murong cannot ignore this. Are you willing to take the initiative to challenge them and fight for Lady Murong? Will you fight against the elites from the eight aristocratic families so that the Murong Clan can hold its head high?”
When Happy saw that the Murong Clan Lady did not take any action and just watched the situation as if she heard nothing, he did not immediately speak.
He was still not entirely certain of the rules of Dragon Tiger Arena, and challenging others recklessly was not his style.
As expected, the Murong Clan Lady soon sent him a secret message before continuing to explain the rules of Dragon Tiger Arena. ”Happy, don't be affected by their provocation. The people who spoke are all nobodies in the eight aristocratic families. There are only three who are truly powerful… the three who have not spoken since the start.”
When Happy heard that, he was stunned.
He subconsciously cast a glance to the side and saw three young adults who had not said anything.
They were two men and one woman!
The woman was dressed in a long white dress. She looked as cold as ice, and she stared at the stage without even blinking. She exuded a chilly presence, and she looked like an immortal who had descended to the mortal world. Her presence was comparable to that of the Murong Clan Lady.
One of the two men had an otherworldly elegance, was heroic-looking, and prideful, while the other was built, tall, level-headed, and had lively eyes.
Happy could tell at first glance that they were not easy to deal with; they might already be in Inaction Realm.
'Thank goodness I didn't attack recklessly,' Happy thought in his heart.
”The strength of those three is similar to mine. The woman's name is Nangong Ruoshui, and she practices the Nangong Clan's Nine Profound Art. One of the men is Dongfang Xiong, and he practices Sunrise Sword, the other is Bei Lie, who inherited Will from Divine Weapon. He was born with great strength, and his qi is greater than others. His fists can block divine weapons, and he is the strongest among the three.”
The Murong Clan Lady explained their situations before she said, ”They are the only genii of the current young generation among the eight aristocratic families. As long as you can defeat any one of them, they will no longer dare to curse and defame the Murong Clan without reason. Naturally, they will also not doubt your strength.”
Happy said nothing. He nodded quietly to show that he put her words to memory.
The Murong Clan Lady said, ”There is one rule on Dragon Tiger Arena. When you go up to fight on the stage, you are not allowed to use any medicine. Once you finish fighting, you can restore your qi, but unless you lose, you must continue fighting three rounds on the stage.”
She stopped talking for a moment, but she could not hold herself and looked at Happy.
”If you go up and fight, those three will definitely attack you. that's why you need to be mentally prepared.”
Another system's notification arrived.
”Ding!
”Dragon Tiger Arena point accumulation system!
”If you win one round, you get one point. If you win three consecutive rounds, you can temporarily leave the arena and return to the spectator seat. You may resume challenging the others at any moment you want! Once you lose, the current number of times you won will be recorded, and you will lose the right to continue challenging Dragon Tiger Arena.
”The number of times you win will correspond to your points. Once the martial arts tournament ends, the ranks will be decided from the person with the highest points to the lowest.
