Chapter 735: Chapter 738: Wu Song Beats the Dog?

Between several buildings on Coconut Island, there was an enclosed sports arena.

The exterior of the arena resembled a bird’s nest, while the interior was a huge square surrounded by nearly a thousand seats.

This place was the main battlefield for the ring competition.

In the morning, the square already had eight rings set up, each measuring six meters long and four meters wide, much like a fighting arena.

At seven in the morning, the square’s main gate opened, and people streamed in.

First, members from the sixteen teams entered, followed by the observers taking their seats in the stands.

Following them, under the leadership of Hu Zhengwei, the judges made their way to the seats.

Aside from the five judges, eight referees entered, each referee directly standing next to a numbered ring.

After the other four judges, responsible for overseeing the fairness of the competition, were seated at the main table, Hu Zhengwei began to announce the rules of the competition.

"In today’s ring contest, each team will send one person to compete, draw lots for one-on-one combat, no weapons allowed, no hidden weapons, no poisoning, and no killing. These are the most basic rules of the competition. After all, we’re all members of the Asian Mercenary Association, and we’ll still have to face each other in the future. I hope everyone will stop at the right point."

Hu Zhengwei continued to speak while there was already some murmuring in the hall.

"Everyone, quiet down. As for the points for winning, I believe everyone has seen them in the competition schedule. Let me remind you that the contestants participating in today’s ring competition will not be able to compete in the next two days. Without further ado, let’s start the drawing of lots!"

After Hu Zhengwei finished speaking and gestured with his hand, a middle-aged man walked to the front of the main table holding a box, Qin Tian saw it was Hu Zhijie!

Hu Zhijie looked up and said, "Contestants from each team, please come forward to register and then draw lots. There are sixteen balls inside, with numbers from one to eight. If you draw the same number, you will be opponents. After the first round, the next round of opponents will also be determined by drawing lots. This is the fairest way!"

After he finished speaking, a representative from each team walked toward the main table.

Qin Tian and Zhao Han walked towards the main table together, Zhao Han whispered to Qin Tian, "Brother Qin, I really hope I draw you."

"Ah?"

Qin Tian was stunned and looked at Zhao Han somewhat confusedly.

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Don’t you think that facing off against each other is the best result we could draw? Think about it, if we face off, isn’t it true that one of us will win and enter the top eight, giving us some points? Heh, if we both draw strong opponents, we might not get any points at all... Rather than that, it’s better for us to fight it out."

Qin Tian was confused for a while, then gave Zhao Han a thumbs-up: "That kind of makes sense."

"Heh, exactly. Anyway, let’s just pray we get past the first round. I think making it to the top eight would be quite an achievement," Zhao Han said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian was speechless, only muttering, "Oh," thinking to himself, brother, we haven’t even started fighting, and that’s your spirit?

As Qin Tian and Zhao Han approached the main table to draw lots, a formidable figure suddenly appeared in front of them—Lei Zhenhu!

"Captain Lei, good to see you."

Seeing Lei Zhenhu, Zhao Han instantly chickened out and greeted him with a smile.

Lei Zhenhu did not even glance at Zhao Han but stared at Qin Tian and said disdainfully, "Qin Tian, the past glory of Dragon Soul ends today. I am going to teach you a lesson!"

"Damn, you’re just a beast, and you’re telling me how to live?" Qin Tian looked up and said back to him.

Hiss!

The moment these words were uttered, Zhao Han sharply inhaled, shocked.

Even a few other contestants drawing lots nearby were stunned.

Lei Zhenhu’s reputation in the Mercenary Association was well-known; who would dare to provoke him?

This young man, a nobody, actually dared to call Lei Zhenhu a beast; this... this was wildly arrogant!

Lei Zhenhu was grinding his teeth in anger, but in front of so many people, he could not lose his temper and just coldly said, "We will face each other in the first round, let’s see how arrogant you can be then!"

"If you were drawn in the first round, that would really be your bad luck."

Qin Tian said indifferently as he drew lots with a brick.

Zhao Zhijie immediately handed Qin Tian a red ball.

Qin Tian was stunned, didn’t accept it, and reached into the box to grab a red ball himself.

"With only two balls left, what’s the difference?"

Zhao Zhijie smiled faintly and directly handed the red ball he was holding to Lei Zhenhu.

The moment he took the red ball, Qin Tian glanced at Zhao Zhijie and already understood that this guy, though not great in Martial Arts, was cunning and definitely tampered with the balls for the draw!

But now, since everyone else had indeed taken all the balls, only two remained, and Qin Tian had no choice.

"Humph, such petty tricks, what of it, planning to set me up against Lei Zhenhu? Fine, I shall grant your wish!"

Qin Tian’s mouth twitched with a fierce smile as he slowly peeled open the red ball.

Number one.

Inside the red ball, a white paper read "Number one."

"Qin, who’s your opponent? Bad news, my opponent is Raging Blade Team’s Gao Dameng. I have a bad feeling about this, that guy is fiercely ferocious..."

Zhao Han approached Qin Tian as he opened the red ball, saying worriedly.

"It seems we won’t be combating each other." He sounded a bit disappointed.

Qin Tian remained silent. Just then, Lei Zhenhu came over, shaking his red ball in front of Qin Tian—

Number one!

"Hehe, Qin Tian, what did I tell you? You’re doomed in this first round!" Lei Zhenhu sneered.

Qin Tian’s face remained calm, while Zhao Han’s expression had already changed drastically, "Qin, you... you drew the team captain, Lei?!"

"This... this is the end for you. I thought I was unlucky with the draw, but you’re even unluckier. I still have some hope, but you, even more... hopeless. Totally no chance."

In Zhao Han’s opinion, a formidable character like Lei Zhenhu was destined to be a champion, and anyone who faced him in the first or second round was truly unlucky.

Clearly, Qin Tian was unlucky.

However, Qin Tian didn’t think so.

"Lei Zhenhu, you’ve done enough posturing, I’ll teach you ’Wu Song Fights the Dogs’ on the stage in a while."

Dryly stating that, Qin Tian put back the drawn red ball and turned towards Ring Number One.

’Wu Song Fights the Dogs’? Qin Tian just called him a dog!

Lei Zhenhu’s cheeks twitched, gritting his teeth, he also headed toward Ring Number One.

"Awesome, Qin is so bold, daring to taunt Lei Zhenhu, the team captain like that..."

Zhao Han clicked his tongue, but he had no time to think further, promptly heading towards Ring Number Two as well.

A minute later, all the competitors had already taken their positions on the stage, ready for one-on-one combat.

Hu Zhengwei took the microphone and announced on the stage, "The match begins!"

On eight rings, people started moving simultaneously!

Lei Zhenhu limbered up and took long strides towards Qin Tian, his presence imposing, "Didn’t you want to do ’Wu Song Fights the Dogs’? Come on, kid! Bring it!"
