Chapter 614 The conference opens!
"You two, this conference is a great stage for you to display your martial arts and prove yourselves."

"Your ranking is not only related to personal honor, but will also directly affect your starting position in the military in the future. This is not just a competition, but also a springboard for you to move to a higher level."

Gongsun Ba's voice was clear and clear, piercing the silence in the mansion.

"Sister, I understand. I will go all out this time, live up to our master's name, and strive to shine at the conference!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Gengshi's eyes flashed with excitement, he clenched his fists, and his tone was filled with confidence in his own martial arts skills.

After all, I am in the first team below the God of War. I don't dare to hope for the first prize, but I can't not get a better ranking, right?
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I and Junior Brother will work together and live up to your expectations."

"The lord has placed the divine weapon and divine horse in the Nine-Story Tower, we are determined to get them!"

Shebisi followed closely behind, his voice low but full of power.

He was very clear about his specific level of martial arts. Although he couldn't say that he was the best in the world, he was definitely among the best.

"What a great ambition! But remember, a truly strong person must not only have extraordinary martial arts, but also an indomitable will and calm judgment."

"There are many experts in this conference. You must stay alert at all times and don't underestimate the enemy."

Gongsun Ba smiled slightly, showing both relief and a bit of severity.

She paused, looking back and forth between the two of them.

"As for weapons and divine horses, if you can stand out in this conference, the best rewards will be waiting for you."

"But remember, these external things are good, but they are not fundamental."

The corpse of Xia Geng and the corpse of Shebi looked at each other and saw a strong desire to fight in each other's eyes.

"Sister, we understand."

The two answered in unison, their voices full of confidence.

Gongsun Ba nodded with satisfaction, an indescribable sense of pride welling up in his heart.

Her two junior brothers, especially Shebisi, were not inferior to her in martial arts.

We will surely shine in this conference and bring honor to our school.

By then, my fellow brothers and sisters will support each other in the army, and the road ahead will be easier.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the public, the opening ceremony of the martial arts conference was held as scheduled.

As the dawn broke, a brilliant glow appeared on the horizon, as if even the sky was cheering for this grand event.

The Tianheng Mansion was bustling with people. Warriors, nobles, merchants, and curious civilians from all over the Tianwu Continent gathered here, filling the entire arena.

Today, Jia Fu was wearing silver armor, holding a cold silver halberd, and standing at the edge of the arena.

Beside him, brothers Ma Yuan and Ma Shanwei stood side by side, and the three of them formed a solid triangle, as if they were the most solid barrier before the competition.

Ma Yuan was wearing a dark blue battle robe and had a calm expression on his face; Ma Shanwei was tall and strong with muscular body, and the big iron spear seemed to have lost its weight in his hand and he wielded it with ease.

Outside the arena, there was a huge crowd of people, warriors, spectators, vendors, and heroes from all over the Tianwu Continent gathered together, making the entire Tianheng Mansion packed.

There are all kinds of stalls along the street, with hawking and bargaining sounds coming one after another, making the place very lively. Some sell weapons, displaying all kinds of swords, spears and halberds, showing their sharp edges; some sell protective gear, with a dazzling array of armors and shields, which are indestructible; and some sell herbs, which are fragrant and are said to be able to heal injuries and boost energy, and are essential items for warriors.

In addition, there are various snack stalls, serving steaming food and overflowing with fragrance, attracting many people to stop and taste them.

"I heard that the prizes for this martial arts competition are the rare treasures in the Nine-Layered Heaven Treasure Pavilion built by the Duke, as well as the various magical weapons and horses collected by the Duke. It's really enviable!"

A young man in coarse clothes whispered to his friend beside him, with envy glittering in his eyes.

"That's right. I also heard that this conference was hosted by Lord Su Ye, the Duke of Zhenguo. The standard is unprecedentedly high!"

The friend responded, his tone full of excitement.

"Hey, look, isn't that Shen Wansan from the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce under the command of the Duke? He is so rich and powerful, and this martial arts competition venue was set up by him!"

Another onlooker pointed at a middle-aged man with gorgeous clothes and a dignified demeanor who was resting with his eyes closed on the podium and said this, which caused sighs from the people around him.

"I heard that he even specially invited many skilled craftsmen to build the Nine-Layered Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. What a big deal!"

Someone in the crowd sighed.

At this moment, a clear drumbeat suddenly sounded, breaking the noise of the crowd. A team of musicians in uniform, holding various musical instruments, slowly walked into the arena, their steps were in unison, and the melodious music instantly attracted everyone's attention.

As the music sounded, the originally noisy crowd gradually quieted down, and everyone's attention was focused on the center of the arena.

A group of dancers in gorgeous costumes walked in slowly. They held colorful fans in their hands and danced lightly like fluttering colorful butterflies, adding a touch of softness and elegance to this martial arts conference.

As the dance ended, the dancers left the stage and a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes and with extraordinary demeanor slowly walked to the front of the stage. He was Shen Wansan, who was now in charge of Tianyun Chamber of Commerce under Su Ye.

"It's time to start. We're ready to go on stage."

Jia Fu tilted his head slightly and whispered to Ma Yuan and Ma Shanwei.

The three of them looked at each other, with determination and confidence in their eyes.

Afterwards, the three of them took steps together and slowly walked towards the front of the arena, where a simple platform had been built. Duke Zhenguo Su Ye was sitting at the top with a smile on his face, looking gently at the people below.

"Heroes and heroes, welcome to Tianheng Mansion to participate in this martial arts conference hosted by the Duke of Zhenguo himself!"

Shen Wansan, who was standing at the front, had a deep and powerful voice, which spread throughout the entire arena through his internal strength, and every word was clearly heard by everyone.

"The purpose of this conference is to select the elites of Tianwu Continent, promote the spirit of martial arts, and promote exchanges and cooperation among various forces."

"Whether you come from a prominent family or are a grassroots hero, as long as you have the ability, you can become famous here and win the glory and rewards that belong to you!"

"By then, if you are interested in joining the army, it won't be a problem for you to be made a marquis or a prime minister!"

As soon as Shen Wansan finished speaking, the crowd burst into warm applause and cheers.

The warriors below were all rubbing their hands, eager to give it a try, while the audience were full of anticipation, eager to witness one exciting competition after another.

"Now, I declare that the martial arts tournament is officially open!"
