1696 Interruption (1/2)

”Let me say something fair! I know that a lot of people have said that the reason I'd organize this martial arts contest is to gather more wealth for myself! To put it in a harsher way, people basically say that I'm selling my daughter for money!” said Luo Qiongcang.

Upon hearing that, everyone was emotionless and they kept silent about it. Clearly, the rumor of Luo Qiongcang selling his daughter had spread throughout the nine zones. To make matters worse, a lot of people were willing to believe in it.

”The rumor that all of you heard is not entirely wrong! Everyone knows that Saint Duke is in a huge crisis now! I have to gather as many resources as possible to prepare for the final war! But! I, Luo Qiongcang am not the kind of person who will sell my daughter for money! I do wish that the man who will marry my daughter will treat her well until the end of her life! Sincerity means a lot to me!”

”Emperor Brother… You are trying to say…?” asked Luo Shanhe, frowning.

”This point of this martial arts competition is ranking! The thing that Childe Zhufeng had just presented us is the best amongst all the other people! In other words, he should be prioritized above all the other people!”

”Letting him be first place?! How about me then?!” asked Helian Tulong with a hint of desperation and displeasure.

”Childe Tulong, you are in the second place now!” said Luo Qiongcang.

”Are you trying to ask me to give him the seat?!”

”Uncle Luo! I'm calling you uncle right now! Can you at least keep my seat?”

”Childe Tulong, don't you worry! There are three rounds of competition! Nobody knows who is going to walk out from this place with a smile!”

”You are right about that… I'm pretty sure that I will be the final winner of this competition! By that time, I will be able to get my hands on the Two-star Earth-God material and the princess as well! This is no loss to me!”

After that, Helian Tulong moved to another seat and let Chen Xiaobei took his seat.

”Childe Zhufeng, the seat is yours!”

Luo Qiongcang swung his hand and pointed at the main seat in the middle of the grand hall.

”Alright!”

Without wasting any time, Chen Xiaobei sat on it right away. On the other hand, Luo Shanhe took the wooden box away from Chen Xiaobei.

”Alright! I have said what I want to say! I will hand over this competition to my eighth brother again!” said Luo Qiongcang before leaving the grand hall after that.

Looking at Luo Qiongcang's back, Chen Xiaobei could not figure out what was he thinking. The only reason Chen Xiaobei could think of was that Luo Qiongcang had simply deliberately come into the hall to take away Chen Xiaobei's Two-star Earth-God material.

”Alright! The conflict is now over! Next, I will announce the second task! This task is going to test your combat power! All of you have one month to complete the task! The location will be the deepest part of Apocalyptic Starfield! Hunt the Giant Barbaric Tiger! Use any means necessary! All you need to do is to kill one of it and get its Beast Core! Do that, and you will be able to complete this task!”

Immediately, everyone drew in a deep breath when they heard the second task.

”Emperor Brother, are you serious about this? The Giant Barbaric Tiger is a primordial ancient beast! Though it has not reached Primordial Spirit cultivation, a One-star Earth God might not be even powerful enough to kill it!” said Yuwen Yuanqin.

”Childe Yuanqin, don't you worry! I told you that you can kill with any means necessary! You might not be able to defeat it but your faction is powerful enough to defeat it! They are the most powerful faction on Saint Duke Starfield! Look for them to help you!” said Luo Shanhe.
