Chapter 617: 0618 Let’s go together! (Second update)

The martial competition, held annually, is rarely rooted in disputes over entry spots to the Great Emperor’s tomb as we see today.

Typically, the clan’s upper echelons decide such matters.

However, this time, with the tomb’s opening, the original allocation for the four great Elders’ disciples was changed due to the intervention of an outsider.

Many Tang clan disciples were astonished, wondering what kind of person would dare compete with the disciples of the four great Elders for these spots.

Soon, Clan Leader Tang Heshan cast his gaze towards Ye Qiu in the corner and exclaimed loudly, "Today’s purpose is simple, to witness the strength of a young friend our clan invited."

"Ye Qiu, please come forward!" As Tang Heshan finished speaking, Ye Qiu stepped out of the corner and stood at the center of the crowd, attracting many pairs of eyes.

The pressure led the Clan Leader to propose a sparring match to reconsider the allocation, and everyone was curious to know who this person was, their gazes converging swiftly.

"Is that Ye Qiu?"

Under the scrutiny of many, Tang Ze and his group naturally turned their attention to Ye Qiu. To them, Ye Qiu appeared quite ordinary, without any distinguishing features.

"He doesn’t seem like much. In terms of presence, he doesn’t even match me. I see, even if he’s at the level of a legend, I could beat him handily. I’ll enter the ring soon and show him what it truly means to overcome a challenge against higher ranks. This bumpkin from the world of martial artists really thinks he’s invincible just because he has surpassed his ranks. He even dares to contend with us on our ancestral lands," Tang Lu snorted dismissively, not taking Ye Qiu seriously at all.

However, Tang Ze grew more circumspect, "This bumpkin’s aura is well-concealed. If you don’t look carefully, it’s almost imperceptible. Interesting... but that’s about it!"

"He doesn’t look like a strong person," Tang Hao commented indifferently.

Tang Wei observed the unremarkable Ye Qiu, surprised by the calm he detected in Ye Qiu’s demeanor. Despite facing the Tang clan on their own turf, this outsider remained as steady as a seasoned monk, unfazed—a level of composure that impressed him.

"Don’t underestimate him. We wouldn’t want to capsize in a gutter," Tang Wei warned the others.

Yet, he was met with a slight smile from Tang Lu, "Tang Wei, you’re being overly cautious. He’s just a bumpkin from the world of martial artists. Do we really need to treat him with the same trepidation we would the prodigies of the three great ancient clans?"

Tang Hao nodded in agreement, "Exactly, exactly... Tang Wei, I don’t think we need to take him seriously at all. We should just beat him soundly, to show him in front of everyone just how large the gap is between the warriors of the common world and us."

"Besides, it’s rumored that this bumpkin has a deep connection with Miss Tang Surou. If it weren’t for her, the Clan Leader wouldn’t have arranged this farcical matchup."

Tang Hao’s words clenched Tang Ze’s fist. Now, with the other two prodigies of the Tang clan, Tang Yuan and Tang Biao, being incapacitated and out of the picture, Tang Ze and his peers were virtually the strongest of the young generation within the clan. Naturally, that meant they could have the opportunity to marry Tang Surou and ascend to the position of Clan Leader.

Tang Ze harbored such ambitions, especially after Tang Yuan and Tang Biao fell into unconsciousness, inflating his ambitions even further. The sight of Ye Qiu, the bumpkin who was close to Tang Surou, immediately sparked murderous intent in his heart.

Even if not for the entry spot, he intended to punish Ye Qiu fiercely in front of everyone.

At that moment, Tang Heshan spoke up again, "Elders, please decide who will go first."

Tang Feng, Tang Hai, and the other two elders exchanged glances before looking at their disciples, Tang Ze and the others, and said, "Who among you is willing to first have a go at this junior from the martial world!"

As Ye Qiu listened to the unfamiliar faces of the elders in front of him, his ears twitched, especially when he heard the term "junior from the martial world," he felt the gazes of the people around him suddenly become strange.

"Master, I am willing to make the first move to meet a ’genius’ from the martial world." Tang Lu immediately stood up, emphasizing the word "genius" with a distinct intonation, not only for his master, Elder Tang Yun, to hear but also for everyone present.

Since when had they of the ancient land cared about the masters within the martial world, let alone its geniuses? To most people present, it was laughable; everyone in the ancient land knew that the martial world was but a discarded toy to them. In the mundane world, martial artists might seem formidable, but in the ancient land, they amounted to nothing.

What martial world geniuses? To put it bluntly, even the least talented members of our ancient families, if placed in the martial world, would be martial arts geniuses.

It was with this mindset that many people, upon hearing Tang Lu’s words, couldn’t help but look at Ye Qiu with disdain, their curiosity extinguished. They had thought he might be a genius from another ancient martial family, only to find he was merely a genius from the martial world.

Although both were termed geniuses, how could the martial world compare to the ancient land? It was like the difference between mortals and gods.

"Brother Tang Lu, let me handle Ye Qiu." Tang Ze also stood up, and Tang Lu was somewhat surprised—hadn’t they agreed that he would go first?

"Brother Tang Ze, you..." Tang Lu was confused, to which Tang Ze said indifferently, "I’m worried that if he competes with you, you might kill him. It’s better if I do it. I’ll only cripple him."

"Brother Tang Ze, I also want to test the strength of this martial world genius. It’s rare for such a genius to appear in the ancient land. Why don’t you leave him to me? I’ll make sure to spare him some breath, and then it will still not be too late for you to have a go at him." Tang Hao joined in, smiling amiably.

Amidst the two nearly equally matched individuals, Tang Ze and Tang Hao, vying to be the first, the yet-to-begin contest became lively.

Among them, except for Tang Wei, who was relatively quiet and low-key, the other three were eager to go first. Their strange expressions turned to muffled laughter as they fought to show off in front of the many clan members, refusing to give in to one another.

Seeing the disciples of the elders fighting over who would go first, their masters, the elders, each showed a hint of a smile.

"These kids, can’t they keep a low profile? Even if they are to compete with someone suggested by the Clan Leader, they shouldn’t be so disrespectful."

"This shows that they are confident in defeating this foreigner. Such a scene is actually something I am willing to see."

"Enough, we can’t let these fellows run wild any longer. Let them quiet down and decide quickly who will go first." Elder Tang Feng, seeing Clan Leader Tang Heshan’s expression change slightly, called a stop to Tang Ze and the others, who were scrambling for the right to go first.

Ye Qiu touched his chin and watched the people scrambling to go first, almost coming to blows. He felt a wave of frustration.

Was the word "weak" written on his face? They were vying to compete with him.

Indeed, the offspring of these ancient clans were overly arrogant, utterly disregarding him.

Ye Qiu didn’t show any anger; he turned to Tang Ze and the two others, who were still arguing softly about who would go first, and calmly said, "You don’t have to fight over it. Just come at me together, I’ll take you all on by myself!"

At the sound of Ye Qiu’s voice, instantly, the entire place fell into a deathly silence!
