Chapter 337: 0336 Change the Rules

"Alright, the ten owls have been confirmed, and as for the upcoming ranking, after consultation between the north and south martial arts factions, we will be changing the rules of the ranking battles this time."

Grandmaster Jin’s voice echoed throughout the arena, and suddenly those who had originally thought that the next segment would continue with the challenges among the ten owls were all taken aback.

What rules are being changed?

Many were left with expressions of confusion.

"As everyone is aware, our martial arts community has recently lost a number of martial artists due to foreign forces, slaughtering our Huaxia martial artists on our own land. This is a provocation. After deliberation between the northern and southern factions, we have decided to launch a counterattack, and the mission of this counterattack will fall upon the nine owls."

Wow...

Chen Yifeng’s words triggered a wave of commotion among the crowd, but it also resonated with many people. Fujikawa Ueno had previously brought beast-transformed individuals, causing harm to numerous martial artists. It was time to teach these arrogant aggressors a memorable lesson.

"I agree, we should demonstrate the might of our Huaxia martial arts community!"

"Hmph, those who hide in the shadows all day long, plotting against our Huaxia, we should drive out such cowardly aggressors from Huaxia, killing them in fright, so they never dare to offend again."

"Those who offend our Huaxia, even if they are far away, shall be punished!"

The demonstration of the ten owls’ strength would no longer be through sparring with each other, but by subduing those foreign powers that operate in the shadows within Huaxia.

This change in rules was met with the approval of many.

"Following this, the rankings of the ten owls will be determined based on each individual’s achievements in battle."

The martial arts assembly thus concluded, but the re-ranking of the ten owls would be decided by the outcome of the upcoming expedition.

Many martial artists felt a sense of regret that they had not seen the exciting battles among the ten owls, but they were also looking forward to distinguishing the strong from the weak by eliminating the minions of foreign powers, which they found more meaningful.

"Everyone, do not be hasty in leaving. Although this is a ranking battle among the ten owls, ultimately it is for the sake of our Huaxia martial arts community. If any of you present wish to contribute your strength, you may also choose to stay," Grandmaster Jin spoke up.

"Of course, should you achieve notable victories, both the northern and southern martial arts communities will present corresponding rewards as a token of appreciation."

"Those who perform exceptionally well will receive guidance from a few of us seated here."

"If someone stands out, I have decided to choose three talented youths to take under my wing," Grandmaster Jin spoke again.

With Grandmaster Jin leading by example, others like Chen Yifeng and Ren Hesheng also offered various incentives, hoping to motivate the younger generation of the martial arts community.

The effect was clear and immediate; very few martial artists left the scene. Even those who did not participate wanted to stay and enjoy the excitement.

As for the nine owls, they each returned to their original places. Before long, Grandmaster Jin announced that due to the vacancy for the tenth owl, Meng Pengxiao, originally the fifth owl, would take the position of the tenth owl.

As for Sun Ziyan, having been seriously injured by Ye Qiu, would require some time to recover his strength. Therefore, after discussion between the northern and southern martial arts factions, it was decided that for the interim, the tenth owl position would be occupied by Meng Pengxiao!

As for Fang Lianping, Duan Zhen, Zuo Nan, and others whose strength was not on par with Meng Pengxiao’s, it naturally made Meng Pengxiao qualified to take this position.

The ten owls were all summoned together to discuss the strategy for the upcoming campaign against the covert power of the beast-transformed individuals.

Meanwhile, the elders from the northern and southern factions also gathered to discuss the next steps.

The remaining martial artist spectators, on the other hand, began to relax, curious gazes fixed upon the newly emerged ten owls, wondering what sort of competition would unfold.

The sky had darkened, and atop Mount Hua, many fires were lit, with numerous people roasting skewered game that dripped with grease.

The members of the Dragon Group didn’t hurry to leave either, since Mei Huiling hadn’t given the word, no one dared to leave without permission, and the lascivious old man who had gone to hunt some game hadn’t come back yet, causing Mei Huiling to sit by the fire with a cold expression on her face.

On this side of the northern martial arts world, the people of the Sun family hadn’t left either.

"It’s all because of Ye Qiu that my son is injured like this, and he even lost his position as one of the Ten Owls. I really want to kill him!" Sun Yuan cursed.

"Master, with the young master’s injuries, he’ll need at least three months to recover," the Sun family’s doctor, having examined Sun Ziyan’s condition, gave his verdict.

Sun Yuan’s face turned extremely sour, and the other Sun family members, not daring to provoke Sun Yuan at this time, quickly scurried away.

Before long, a figure appeared where the Sun family was settled.

"Hmm? Who’s there?" Sun Yuan’s face suddenly changed, sensing a murderous intent directed at their location.

"Don’t be angry, I’ve come to seek cooperation with you," the figure said calmly.

"Cooperate? Cooperate on what? What kind of demon or ghost are you, not even daring to show your face and still deluding yourself into thinking you can cooperate with me? Who do you think you are!" Sun Yuan, already in a foul mood, was even more irritated by the sudden appearance of this strange individual.

"Family Head Sun, don’t be angry. We are not enemies, but I know who you want to kill, because I want to kill him too!" Sun Yuan’s eyelids twitched at the figure’s words.

"Who do you want to kill? How can you be so sure we want to kill the same person?"

"Family Head Sun, the one you want to kill is Ye Qiu, right?" As soon as the figure spoke the name Ye Qiu, Sun Yuan’s gaze flickered with murderous intent.

"It seems I’m not wrong. The enemy of an enemy is a friend. Since we share a common enemy, why not join forces to take him down?"

"To cooperate with me, Sun Yuan, what makes you qualified? That Ye Qiu, I will naturally take care of him myself," Sun Yuan said.

"Heh, Family Head Sun might not yet understand who I am, but you should have seen this before!" Saying this, the figure took out a transparent glass bottle containing a green liquid.

"You are..."

"Heh, it’s good that Family Head Sun knows. No need to say it out loud."

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll shout out and have you captured by the people of the martial arts world?" Sun Yuan said.

"Haha, Family Head Sun won’t do that, because I know you are ambitious, and this substance can help you achieve your ambitions more quickly. I will also get what I want through your cooperation. Why wouldn’t we do this?"

"Good, let’s hear it. What do you want me to do? How do I cooperate with you?" Sun Yuan asked, his eyes shifting.

"It’s simple. The Ten Owls intend to deal with us, and all you need to do is to occasionally leak their information to me," the figure slowly spoke, revealing his purpose.

"Is it that simple?" Sun Yuan was skeptical, as this cooperation seemed to pose no harm to the Sun family.

"Family Head Sun, we won’t easily expose you. As long as you become our partner in cooperation, we might even enhance your strength."

"Good, since both of us want to deal with Ye Qiu, let’s join hands to get rid of him!"

After a while, the figure left the Sun family’s encampment and, following the moonlight, a face was revealed.

If one looked closely, it wasn’t hard to recognize that this person was Zuo Nan!
