Li Qingyue, the daughter of the current city lord 'Li Cheng'. She is the strongest ace among the young generation of the Li family, and it is said that she has already broken through to the fifth level of the 'Pulse Movement Realm'. Cai Qiang is also the top card of the Cai family, one of the three major families, with strength comparable to Li Qingyue.
Li Qingyue, Cai Qiang, Ye Feng, Ye Qinglian, Li Dong, and Fang Mao are known as the 'Six Heroes of Greenwood City'. They are equally strong, representing the six major geniuses of the young generation in Greenwood City and are the leaders among the young people.
Although the three major families shake hands on the surface but stab each other in the back, the relationship among the young generation is still somewhat decent. When they came over, Li Feng and Li Qinglian, as the hosts, had to go up to greet them; this was a matter of etiquette.
Suddenly, the attention of the entire venue was captured by the four of them. No one noticed when Ye Juntian's group entered.
"Ye Wastes, I heard that you showed incredible strength yesterday and won two consecutive matches?" Cai Qiang glanced at him and smiled. This was because the two had had conflicts before. Li Qingyue is not only a dragon and phoenix among the young generation but also the number one beauty of 'Greenwood'.
Naturally, Cai Qiang had 'ideas' about Li Qingyue. Of course, it wasn't just Cai Qiang; Ye Feng felt the same way. However, the Ye family and the Li family had almost no interaction after the previous city lord's position was taken away.
Ye Tianhao, the head of the Ye family, 'disliked' his son's attempts to 'flatter' Li Qingyue. Therefore, although Ye Feng desperately wanted to, he did not dare to show it on the surface. Otherwise, he would get a slap from his father.
During a chance encounter at a teahouse, Cai Qiang had been constantly flattering her, but Li Qingyue seemed uninterested. Instead, the 'waste' Ye Juntian, who had just come upstairs, received Li Qingyue's 'favor'.
At that moment, Cai Qiang almost lost his temper. However, the venue was full of Greenwood City's elite, and the event was initiated by Li Qingyue, known as the 'Greenwood Gathering'. Cai Qiang did not dare to immediately show his displeasure, but from then on, a grudge was formed. To say that the original owner of this body did not like Li Qingyue would be a lie.
Naturally, 'Ye Juntian' was very impressive that day. However, 'Ye Juntian' also knew that Li Qingyue did not like him. She was just using him temporarily. Despite this, 'Ye Juntian' could not resist the temptation of beauty and followed obediently.
Looking at Li Qingyue's beautiful face, the current Ye Juntian had a calm expression. Even Li Qingyue was taken aback. If it were the old days, this guy would have run up to greet her eagerly. Today, the sun seemed to be rising from the west, and he was still standing there without moving.
"Hehe, just a bit of good luck, they let me win." Ye Juntian, having lived two lives, naturally would not 'quarrel' with Cai Qiang and smiled faintly.
"Is that so? But today, you will fight Ye Xiaosheng and Ye Jun. I wonder if your luck will still be on your side?" Cai Qiang snorted, naturally with a mocking tone.
"Perhaps it will." Ye Juntian's words caused a stir in the venue.
"Tsk, just you think you can defeat Brother Ye Jun? Don't you have any shame?" Someone from the Ye Jun lineage stepped forward.
"Exactly, you are just a waste with a bit of brute strength. You are not even worthy to carry Brother Xiaosheng's shoes."
Faced with a wave of contempt and accusations, Ye Juntian remained calm and said, "Sometimes, 'luck' comes and you can't stop it. What's wrong with brute strength? As long as it can knock you down, it's the hard truth."
"Brother Jun, beat him up, cripple this arrogant brat."
"Brother Xiaosheng, give him a good beating, knock this waste down."
The combined forces of the Ye Jun and Ye Xiaosheng lineages, along with the Ye Feng family, Ye Handong, Ye Shan, and other clan members, numbered in the hundreds. Their shouts surged like waves, completely drowning out the voices of Ye Jun and others.
"Hehe, I really hope 'luck' stays with Brother Juntian." Li Qingyue's laughter spread across the Ye family training ground. Ye Juntian, of course, did not believe she was being genuinely kind; she was definitely fanning the flames.
The internal strife of the Ye family is something the Li family would be happy to see.
"The first match, Ye Jun vs. Ye Hui." The sound of a gong rang out, and Elder Ye Quan stood on the stage with a stern look, announcing.
"Oh, my stomach is not good, it hurts. I need to go take some medicine. Elder Quan, I forfeit this match." Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Jun stepped onto the stage, he forfeited before Ye Hui could make a move, leaving the clan members and disciples puzzled. Why forfeit when he was clearly going to win?
"You are cheating!" Ye Jun shouted loudly.
"Cheating? I like it, what can you do about it? Does the council have a rule that you can't forfeit a match?" Ye Jun looked at Ye Jun with a haughty expression.
"Brother, don't talk to him." Ye Juntian looked at Ye Jun calmly and said, "Ye Jun, are you trying to play a trick?"
"Trick? What gives you the right to say that? Besides, even if I play, can you play?" Ye Jun was arrogantly over the top, with a smug look on his face.
"Hehe, then let's 'play'. But, Ye Jun, you will regret it." Ye Juntian had long seen through this guy's plan, which was to prevent him from entering the top three. Because Ye He was injured, he would definitely be at the bottom of the five-person group.
If he lost to both Ye Jun and Ye Xiaosheng, he would have two wins and two losses. Ye Jun had already forfeited, and even if Ye Xiaosheng defeated Ye Hui, Ye Hui would also have two wins and two losses. Ye Jun's plan was to defeat him, then Ye Xiaosheng, and finally Ye He, giving him three wins and one loss, securing the first place.
If Ye Xiaosheng lost to Ye Jun but defeated Ye Juntian and Ye Hui, he would also have three wins and one loss, ensuring that both would 'qualify'. Although he defeated Ye Hui, he lost to Ye Jun. Since Ye Jun was the group's first place, Ye Hui would 'qualify', and he would be kicked to fourth place.
"Regret? I never do things I regret. As for you, dreaming of entering the Wood-level disciples with brute strength, you are just dreaming. I, Ye Jun, will tell you that taking shortcuts is useless." Ye Jun laughed dryly.
"The second match, Ye Xiaosheng vs. Ye Juntian." The sound of a gong rang out again, and Elder Ye Quan announced loudly.
Ye Juntian already knew that Ye Xiaosheng and Ye Jun had both entered the martial arts building and the ancestral pool for bone washing after going through the back door with the clan leader yesterday. He had seen through this, and found that Ye Xiaosheng's two bloodlines were slightly vibrating. Pulse Movement Level 2, not impressive.
Ye Juntian decided to make Ye Jun eat 'regret pills' immediately.
So, as soon as he stepped onto the stage, he looked at Ye Xiaosheng's feigned simple smile and deliberately shouted, lunging forward. His entire body, like a fierce tiger, punched straight ahead with no technique, just a hard punch.
"Looks like the brute force guy only has this move." Cai Qiang mocked.
"Hehe, if it works, can he be called a 'waste'?" Ye Jun sneered.
Ye Xiaosheng's face flashed with disdain, and he kicked a spinning kick, aiming to sweep Ye Juntian's thigh. He wanted to make Ye Juntian fall flat on his face.
However, just as Ye Juntian was about to reach Ye Xiaosheng's body, he suddenly stomped hard on the ground, leaped into the air, and pulled his legs back. Ye Xiaosheng's spinning kick swept past his feet. However, Ye Juntian's punch had already landed solidly on Ye Xiaosheng's chest.
Smack...
Ye Xiaosheng's entire body flew backward like a cannonball, fell off the stage, and landed on the ground, creating a large imprint in the hard sand, stretching for over ten meters.
Suddenly, the entire venue was in an uproar.
