Chapter 0053 Power of Seven Tigers (Seeking Votes and Collections)

Han Chengnuo noticed that the representatives of the other eighteen forces had all fall silent. He let out a huff and fell into silence as well. He felt a gust of air stifling in his chest, wanting to vent it out, but didn’t know how to vent it. He couldn’t possibly go and kill all the representatives of these eighteen forces. Regardless of whether he has the capability or not, if he did so, the outside world would inevitably criticize the Imperial Master Mansion for resorting to slaughter to suppress challengers, which would not be beneficial to the development of the Imperial Master Mansion. After all, the Imperial Master Mansion has never been able to dominate the Great Zhao.

At this moment, a male cultivator from the Green Water Temple clasped his hands towards Zhao Qian and said, “Princess, I have an immature proposal. In order to prove to you that our Green Water Temple possesses a strength that is not inferior to the Imperial Master Mansion, and is capable of becoming a partner of King Zhangbei Manor, I would like our junior brother Li Xiong to fight one against five, including Qi Tian from the National Master Manor, in the same field of skills. If Li Xiong is not able to top the six people, our Green Water Temple is willing to give up this opportunity to participate in the County Master selection battle.”

“Wei Shengnan, you bull nosed man, I’ve always been unpleasant towards you. However, you have indeed read my mind with your words this time. Princess, we, the Snow Sect, are also willing to let my junior sister Zhou Haomin compete with the other five. If she cannot win the first place, we are willing not to participate in the subsequent County Master selection battle.” Said a female cultivator dressed in very colorful clothes.

How could the representatives of the other forces, who were not eliminated, willingly let the Green Water Temple and the Snow Sect be superior? They also made similar statements one after another. At the first preliminary match, people from their forces succeeded while others didn’t, which is a symbol of strength, giving them enough confidence to utter such words.

“This is your issue, I won’t interfere, it’s for you to decide.” Zhao Qian tossed out a sentence lightly. She deems it inappropriate for her to intervene in such matters. Any word she says will be wrong, so it’s best not to express an opinion at all.

Wei Shengnan from the Green Water Temple bowed his hands towards Han Chengnuo and said, “Master Han, what do you say? How about giving our Green Water Temple an opportunity to prove our strength? Take Qi Tian from your manor for example. How imposing he was just now! It only took him three punches to successfully pass through the preliminaries. Even I am in awe of his performance. You possess such an imposing and domineering disciple, fear of losing in a case of one against five? Perhaps, with just five punches, he could defeat the five challengers including my junior brother. In that case, your Huangque Hall will indeed be prestigious.”

“Yes, Master Han, look at our Snow Sect’s sister Zhou Haomin, she is so weak that even a gust of wind could blow her away. It’s so difficult for her to compete with the rest of the competitors including Qi Tian from your side.” Bai Yuqian said.

…

The representatives of the forces whose disciples could not pass the first round were all eager for more excitement. They had come to a mutual understanding beforehand and formed an offensive and defensive alliance, discussing various possible situations they might encounter. The current situation was within their expectations, therefore all of them took it upon themselves to belittle Zhou Haomin, Li Xiong, and others while wildly praising Qi Tian’s strength. It’s as though Qi Tian’s appearance alone could completely suppress Zhou Haomin, Li Xiong, and others from within the competition itself.

Eighteen forces, eighteen representatives, men and women alike, all besieging Han Chengnuo with their lobbying, which made Han Chengnuo dizzy. However, Han Chengnuo was not confused. When just now Wei Shengnan, Bai Yuqian, and others were speaking to Zhao Qian, it was they who boasted that they will win the first place and have now begun to praise Qi Tian. Do they assume that he is forgetful?

Han Chengnuo knew that they wanted to persuade him to agree to let Qi Tian participate in the competition with Zhou Haomin, Li Xiong, and others by use of flattery. Rationality told him that there must be a pitfall here, waiting for Qi Tian to jump in and then to bury Qi Tian alive inside. However, emotionally speaking, he really wanted to agree to it.

The Imperial Master Mansion has stood tall in the Great Zhao for hundreds of years, and from its inception to the present, who has it feared? And when the Imperial Master Mansion is declining, it needs more people who can stand up for it and hold up its flag, especially when it comes to the need to prove the strength of the Imperial Master Mansion, and it cannot shrink back.

“Silence.” Han Chengnuo sprang up, “If anyone makes any noise, I will have you slaughtered.”

The representatives of the eighteen forces shut their mouths immediately.

Han Chengnuo walked to the edge of the VIP stand, then waved to Qi Tian. “Who is it, Qi Tian, right? Come here, I need to ask you something.”

Qi Tian walked to the foot of the VIP stage, looked up at Han Chengnuo, and said with a gesture, “What does the Master call me for?”

Han Chengnuo squatted down, leaned his head out from the VIP stand, looked at the Qi Tian below the stage, and said, “Just now, these people, um, do you see? These monsters and clowns want to compete with five people that have passed the first preliminary matches at the same time as you. They swore in front of me that if they can’t come out first in this one-to-five competition, they will give up their eligibility to participate in the County Master selection battle. Qi Tian, you tell me, can you satisfy their wish and display the prestige of our Imperial Master Mansion?”

Qi Tian looked up at the cold and indifferent people on the VIP stage, then looked at Li Xiong, Zhou Haomin, and others in the inner circle who were waiting for the rules of the next competition to be announced. He took two steps back, saluted seriously, and said, “Qi Tian will do his utmost, and will not disappoint the Master.” His tone was firm.

Han Chengnuo laughed heartily, saying, “Good, you are truly worthy sons of our Imperial Master Mansion. Qi Tian, feel free to compete with them without any fear of losing; I won’t blame you. However, if you can defeat all five of them, I guarantee you a priceless opportunity. Go, show them the true strength of our Imperial Master Mansion.”

“Yes.” Qi Tian turned and walked towards the center of the interior arena.

Han Chengnuo announced loudly, “I declare the rules for the second round of the preliminaries: you six will fight in a free-for-all. Winner takes all, loser gets nothing. Begin.”

After Han Chengnuo’s proclamation, all the contestants except Qi Tian exchanged a knowing glance, quickly establishing an offensive alliance within a blink of an eye. This had, in fact, been prearranged. No matter the circumstances, their primary goal was to eliminate the contender from the Imperial Master Mansion, the rest could be discussed later.

A relatively frail-looking cultivator complained, “Ah, I got injured just now, need to rest a bit while the rest of you go first.” Then, he withdrew and watched Qi Tian with a wolfish, gloomy stare.

The remaining four laughed sinisterly and closed in on Qi Tian from four directions.

Qi Tian coldly glanced at the four of them. Without a hint of fear on his face, he stomped his foot and activated the Chasing Wind Step, lunging at the cultivator closest to him. This man, Li Xiong of the Green Water Temple, was tall and sturdy, forcing his way through life with physical strength over strategic finesse.

Upon seeing Qi Tian rushing towards him, a cruel smile curled up on the corners of Li Xiong’s lips. Qi Tian, of all people, had chosen him. He was about to make Qi Tian realize the colossal mistake he had made. Li Xiong reached for the Storage Bag at his waist, and a wondrous light sprang forth. He yelled out as he grasped the light in his hand and slammed it into his body, resting it on his shoulder.

It was a massive shield, taller than Li Xiong, a top-grade Human Grade Spirit Military shield named Stone Spirit Light. Weighing around 500 pounds, it was inscribed with three defensive runes, each capable of withstanding a load of over 250 pounds. Combined with Li Xiong’s sheer strength of 1,500 pounds, it provided him nearly 2,800 pounds of defensive power.

Qi Tian’s ability to send people flying with a single punch was only because the opponents he had encountered were too weak and did not specialize in strength and defense like Li Xiong. Now facing him, Qi Tian had made the mistake of targeting him first. He was certainly in for a rude shock, and Li Xiong would ensure he learnt his lesson.

A flash of brilliance sparked in Qi Tian’s eyes as he activated the Heavenly Dao Engine. He swung his fist fearlessly at the approaching Stone Spirit Light.

The Sixth Style of Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist, the Tiger Rampage.

This time, Qi Tian did not hold back. He unleashed all of his strength of over 1,700 pounds. Boosted by Heavenly Dao Engine, his force reached an alarming 3,400 pounds, almost equivalent to the force of seven tigers.

Just as the Tiger Rampage was about to slam into the Stone Spirit Light, fire attribute Spirit Qi in his heart surged forth, imbuing his fist with a faint yet palpitation-inducing flame.

The other three cultivators attacking Qi Tian were not aware of the power of his punch. They knew very well of Li Xiong’s shield; they had sparred against it and suffered their own defeats. With Qi Tian being so young, how much strength could he possibly have? His earlier victory was nothing but the element of surprise; seriously in a fight, how much power could his small fists muster?

Qi Tian, let’s see how arrogant you are once your arm’s broken after this punch. You will learn what it means to pit an egg against a rock.

With that thought, the three cultivators grinned confidently. Their pace towards Qi Tian slowed down as they prepared to take advantage of the situation after Qi Tian’s self-damaging move. Crucially, once Qi Tian was eliminated, they would be the next to vie for the ticket to the next round. Although they had reached a prior agreement, the cultivator with the spot would have the upper hand in their alliance and could easily obtain more benefits.

With interests at stake, who would give way to others?

At this time, it was natural to conserve strength and be on guard against possible attacks from the other contenders.
