Chapter 139 The competition begins

After the rewards were settled, the three of them received 100 merit points and 2,000 taels of silver. Zhou Chen took 50 merit points and 1,000 taels of silver as usual, and the rest was distributed to Leng Ningshuang and the other two.

As for Xuanwu's body, Zhou Chen was not stingy and divided it half between the two men. Although he really needed the body of the monster, it was a task they completed together after all, so he didn't want to keep it all to himself.

After returning home, Leng Yiyao also gave him a surprise. Leng Yiyao's strength had broken through the seventh level. Of course, this was with the help of elixirs.

That was already amazing, so the two of them celebrated it happily that day. When Zhou Chen woke up the next day, he was exhausted, but Leng Yiyao had already prepared a meal for him.

After dinner, Zhou Chen took Leng Yiyao out shopping. Wu'an County was many times more lively than Qinghua County. He happily spent the whole day shopping with Leng Yiyao. When they were passing through a small alley on their way home at night, a black shadow suddenly ran out from the side and blocked the two of them.

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Do you want to die?"
Leng Yiyao saw that it was a young girl and advised, "Brother Chen, don't scare him."

At this time, several burly men rushed out from the darkness. Seeing the people coming, the little girl was so scared that she hid to the other side. She used Zhou Chen and the other man's bodies to block the big men, and shouted, "Save me."

"Hmph, you little beast, let's see where you can run," and then said to Zhou Chen and the others, "If you have nothing to do, get out of my way."

Leng Yiyao looked at the big men and asked, "Who are you and why are you chasing this girl?"
The big man grinned and said, "What does it have to do with you? I think you are good-looking. Why don't you go with us instead of him?" As he said that, he was about to step forward and touch Leng Yiyao's little face.

Leng Yiyao grabbed his arm and twisted it hard. With a crisp sound, the big man's arm was instantly twisted and deformed. Seeing this, the other people wanted to step forward to help, but Leng Yiyao's amber came out of her body and directly cut off one of the big man's arms.

This action scared several people so much that they dared not move forward. At this time, the little girl said, "Get out of here quickly." Hearing her words, several people quickly helped the big man on the ground and fled from there. Before leaving, one of them said unconvincedly, "Wait, the Li family will not let you go."

Leng Yiyao ignored them and turned to look at the little girl beside her and said, "Okay, it's okay."

The little girl gave him an innocent smile, and Zhou Chen activated his skills to check the girl's attributes. He found that her attributes were just like an ordinary person, so he let down his guard a lot.

Zhou Chen turned his head to look in the direction where the big men left, while Leng Yiyao asked about the little girl's situation. Zhou Chen's internal energy was constantly moving, and his shadow quickly lengthened and disappeared into the darkness. At the same time, a figure exactly like him appeared in the darkness.

Then Zhou Chen's shadow returned to its original state. Leng Yiyao and the little girl didn't notice the change at all.

After the men in the distance left, they started cursing, "What a bad luck! We actually ran into such a tough guy."

"How can we explain to our superiors if we don't catch the person?"
"What else can I do? Just find a random woman and capture her to report to the task."

While they were talking, Zhou Chen appeared in front of them and asked, "Are you from the Li family?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard Zhou Chen's voice, "Fuck, what do you want to do?"
Although there is no curfew in Wu'an County, the street they are on is not a busy street and few people pass by here at night.

"We are indeed from the Li family. If you know what's good for you, get out of the way."

"Huh, what if I don't let you?"
Although Zhou Chen did not take action just now, his strength must be strong enough to be with that woman. Several people reminded him, "The Li family will not let it go if you do anything bad to us."

"Oh, really?" After saying that, Zhou Chen's figure flashed away, and the bodies of several people who were activated by the illusion killing were directly cut off by two powerful sword auras, and they lost their lives instantly.

"Who knows I'll kill you?" Zhou Chen's body disappeared without a trace. On the other side, Leng Yiyao saw that the little girl had a pitiful life, so she planned to take her home, just like buying a maid to be by her side.

Zhou Chen didn't say anything about this, but after returning home, he asked Xiaohu to keep a close eye on this guy. If he dared to do anything out of line, he would be eaten directly without having to report it.

Leng Yiyao had already gone to bed late at night, while Zhou Chen was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing. The little girl named Xiaoxue who had been rescued before lived next door.

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed. During this period, Zhou Chen has been working hard to eat and work harder. After observing for a period of time, he found that Xiaoxue works seriously and is not afraid of hardship. Leng Yiyao has praised this little girl in front of him more than once.

However, this little girl’s cooking skills are quite good, and the food she cooks is even better than Leng Yiyao’s.

This was also the point that the two were most satisfied with. Three days later, Zhou Chen was invited to the Wang family. According to the agreement, tomorrow was the day for the competition between the Wang family and the Li family, and the two families had already made preparations early.

Today Zhou Chen also met with Wang Liu, the head of the Wang family. "Guest Zhou, based on the information I have, the guest sent by the Li family this time is not very strong. I don't ask you to challenge an opponent who is too powerful. When the time comes, I will let you fight against the weakest person in the Li family. As long as you promise not to lose, it will be fine."

To ensure not to lose, you must win. After explaining some precautions, Zhou Chen went back. As a fifth-grade warrior, Wang Liu's skills have reached two hundred years.

In terms of light wheel skills, Zhou Chen is not much worse than him, but the combat power of the middle third grade is not calculated in this way. In addition to the strength of the martial arts, there is also the quality of the true qi. The true qi of the fifth grade is 50% stronger than the true qi of the sixth grade. For the same martial arts, a fifth-grade warrior will be 50% stronger than a sixth-grade warrior.

Now Zhou Chen has strengthened the Bear Mark to level six. At the same time, the Frost Phantom has been added to the great success and the Extreme Ice Blossom has also reached the small success level. His overall strength has been greatly improved. Zhou Chen is sure that no one within the sixth level can be his opponent.

After returning home, Xiaoxue had already prepared the meal. Zhou Chen sat down and started eating without any hesitation. Just as he was about to swallow it, Xiaohu suddenly sent him a message. Zhou Chen's expression changed and he looked at Xiaoxue beside him.

Xiaoxue, who was staring at Zhou Chen, suddenly saw Zhou Chen turned his head and looked at her. He was so scared that his heart tightened. Zhou Chen slowly swallowed the food in his mouth. Leng Yiyao also took a bite and said casually, "Xiaoxue, are you worried about something today? The taste doesn't seem to be as good as before."

"Oh, really? I feel a little unwell today."

"Oh, if you are not feeling well, go downstairs and rest. There is no need to serve you here."

After Xiaoxue left, Zhou Chen tore off a piece of meat and put it in Leng Yiyao's bowl, "Come and eat."

On the second day, Zhou Chen arrived at Wang's house as promised. The Wang family won the last competition, so this competition was prepared by the Wang family. When Zhou Chen arrived, the Wang family was already surrounded by people.

When Wang Ke saw Zhou Chen coming over, he quickly stepped forward and pulled him inside, "Brother Zhou, you're here. The competition is about to begin."

The Wang family has a huge courtyard specially used for martial arts competitions. At this moment, the head of the Wang family, Wang Liu, and the head of the Li family are sitting on the high platform, and below them is a huge martial arts arena.

Wang Liu turned around and chatted with the head of the Li family for a few words, then winked at an old man below, and the old man understood, "The competition begins."
