Chapter 2: Engage

erything is bothering me.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!When can I catch up to Zhu WeiLet me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!Lin Zhengren stood..."What do you intend to do" Chong Xuan asked.

Just then, Shi Fourteen, who had just walked in from outside, cast his gaze over. He seemed curious as well.

Now, the fourteen-year-old once again donned full armor, hiding her delicate and adorable figure within steel.

The battered Fuyue could no longer be repaired. This new armor, while not as reliable as the Fuyue, was forged by a master blacksmith at Heavy Xuan's request and cost a great deal of money.

Compared to the Negative Yue Jia, it should be smaller.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Perhaps due to considerations of intimidation, Fourteen always held the negative Yue Jia very high.

Jiang Wang glanced at Chong Xuan Sheng, his eyes questioning.

Fourteen was actually a pretty girl; by now, almost everyone in Linzi knew her true appearance. It seemed unnecessary to keep hiding herself so tightly anymore.

Zhonghuan sighed helplessly.

It seems like Fourteen doesn't want to.

For a long time, the steel armor had given her and Chongxuan a great sense of security. Taking it off completely wasn't so easy...

“You schedule a match with Lei Zhanqian for me,” Jiang Wang casually said.

He and Lei Zhanqian had already formed a grudge, and judging from what followed, Lei Zhanqian showed no sign of letting bygones be bygones.

Especially during this period, Jiang Wang defeated Wang Yi'wu with a decisive victory, causing a stir among the nobles of Qi State. His achievement in winning first place among a crowd of strong contenders in the Qixinglou Secret Realm was naturally a hot topic of discussion. The Lei family intentionally or unintentionally expressed their stance. They simply reiterated old claims, saying that Jiang Wang's methods were unclean, obviously trying to elevate themselves by belittling Jiang Wang. However, in the end, they considered the reputation of the Lei family and were too embarrassed to directly challenge Jiang Wang, who had just entered the Inner Mansion.

Le Zhanqian felt embarrassed. Jiang Wang looked down a tier, but she didn't have any qualms about it.

Enemies should be resolved, not made. But since they are made, let's resolve them and resolve them well!

With his natural talent and the backing of the Lei family, coupled with his connections to Jiang Wuqi, this person named Lei Zhanqian has a bright future ahead of him. He is destined to soar high sooner or later.

And what Jiang Wang wanted to do was to make him never fly too high, never reach the sky, and knock down his confidence of dominating everything!

Is he not just publicly promoting the Qi Xing Lou Secret Realm expedition, merely taking advantage of Jiang Wang and scheming behind his back

Then issue a public challenge, in front of everyone, and make him eat his words.

Weighing the situation with great wisdom, he naturally understood Jiang Wang's thoughts and highly approved of this approach.

But he still cautioned with his words: "You've never been this ostentatious before."

The attention generated by this public challenge far surpassed that of the previous battles between Jiang Wang and Wang Yiwu within the range of the Silent Beheading Order. That fight had no audience besides Chong Xuan the victor.

After the incident, the killer came forward and boldly defied the pressure from the Great Qi army gods, attracting only the attention of the top figures in Linzi. More attention was blocked by the North Yard.

Even though there was a fierce public opinion, it only swirled underground.

This duel was different.

A public challenge means that this battle will be exposed to everyone's eyes, and anyone can come to watch. If either party does not have strong confidence, they would not agree to such a thing.

On one side was Lei Zhanyan, who had long since achieved his inner sanctuary and removed the divine power of the Thunder Seal. He was considered the unparalleled prodigy of the Lei family in a millennium.

On one side is Jiang Wang, rumored to have defeated Wang Yiwu and rose from the top spot of Tianlong to the position of the first mansion. He then took hold of the divine power of the first mansion.

Zheng Xuan Sheng could completely imagine how much this battle would cause a stir.

Jiang Wang just smiled: "When you're not strong enough, you say harsh words. When you're strong enough, you should fulfill them."

At that time in Qixing Valley, Lei Zhanyan said that he was just a mere Tenglong Realm cultivator, and he only gained an advantage by relying on the underhanded tactics of the Chongxuan family, which couldn't see the light of day.

And his response at the time was that if he were within the imperial palace, Lei Zhanyuan couldn't run away even if he wanted to.

What Jiang Wang has said must be done.

>

Of course, it was also to create a stir for Chongxuan before leaving. There's no need to say this out loud.

“Alright!” Chong Xuan didn’t ask Jiang Wang where his confidence came from, he just agreed with a single word: “But the duel can be postponed for two days.”

“How” Jiang Wang asked.

Zhong Xuan triumphantly rattled the abacus: "I'll buy a martial arts arena these two days, decorate it a little, and put up a fence. I'll set the challenge location there. I'll charge for entrance badges! Ten Dao Yuan stones per person! This is the first public battle since Tenglong Jue Sheng became an inner disciple! If I promote how badly Wang Yiwu was beaten… people from Linzi will definitely want to watch!"

Jiang Wang: "…".

That's throwing money down the drain!

Jiang Wang looked at him with contempt.

His right hand, however, was very honest and outstretched, giving a thumbs up.

Splitting things evenly is always a good idea, right

Zhong Xuan laughed triumphantly: “No problem!”

The meeting point was finally set at the Unbeatable Martial Arts Hall.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Have a look at this name.

According to Chongxuan Sheng, the name comes from his and Jiang Wang's aliases in the Taixu Fantasy Realm, representing the shared endeavor of these two close friends, as well as their grand aspirations.

It's called a "hall," but it's actually an open-air martial arts arena. In places like Linzi, there are many cultivators, but even with conflicts, they can't just fight anytime, anywhere. The Beiya is not a place to be trifled with.

>

Therefore, the martial arts arenas everywhere are not very valuable.

Zhong Xuan used his connections to buy the property and hastily built a wall around it overnight, shamelessly calling it a "hall" for everyone to see.

“Such a large martial arts arena, with such spacious seating. Basking in the warm sunlight, watching the exciting and extraordinary battles, and feeling the breeze blowing through the corridors... Charging ten Dao Yuan stones for a seat seems reasonable, right”

Zhong Xuan Sheng stood in the martial arts arena, with a wave of his hand, his aura was imposing, like a monarch inspecting his kingdom.

The martial arts arena itself was quite ordinary, and the spectators' seats were all within the walled enclosure used by Chong Xuan Sheng.

So-called "seats" were merely wooden stools. There wasn't even a place to put tea or water, let alone cushions.

Besides, this training ground is very close to Yulifang, less than five miles away... Its original price is self-evident.

To charge ten Dao Yuan Stones for someone's company in a place like this Isn't that a bit excessive

Jiang Wang was about to denounce these shameless scoundrels, but then he thought, "Maybe I could get half the spoils..." Everything suddenly made sense.

The honest young man with the surname Jiang, after a moment of contemplation, nodded in agreement: "Well, it's not too much."

Unfortunately, Jiang's face was lacking a bit of fire. After a while, he still changed his tune: "However... the way you're eating looks so bad, it might get people talking."

Zhong Xuan smiled meaningfully and said, "Everyone has flaws."

The more you ponder this, the more interesting it becomes.

But for Jiang Wang, knowing that Chong Xuan had his own considerations was enough. This fat man would never suffer a loss.

He curled his lip: "After all this effort, you're only putting in this much Just these few broken bricks and some wooden stools, and you want a 50/50 split I'm going to be fighting for my life out there! The more I think about it, the more I feel like we're getting ripped off."

"Brother Jiang, it's not interesting to think like that," Chongxuan criticized with a stern face. "It's very vulgar!"

Having someone prepare a battle declaration to be sent to the Lei family was, of course, handled by Chong Xuan Sheng.

Jiang Wang only had one request, he wanted the wording to be more impactful.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

His intention was to be passionate and bold, wielding his power with vigor, creating an atmosphere similar to that of heroes recognizing each other on the battlefield before a decisive clash at Linzi. It would also make for a good story when it spread.

But he didn't know that the war scroll sent over became ——

"Lei, I heard you weren't happy with the outcome of last time at Qixing Building Secret Realm. You were hopping around everywhere, trying to cover your shame. Come on, October 24th, Linzi Invincible Martial Arts Hall, whoever doesn't come is a tortoise grandson! This time, I'll beat you until you admit defeat, until you submit!"

Good heavens. It is said that when Lei Zhanyan saw the war declaration, he was so furious that smoke rose from his head. He rushed to Linzi overnight from the Lei clan's territory.

And on October 24th, it arrived as scheduled.
