Chen An looked around.
The grand competition had begun, and in the distance, people were already practicing, occasionally making noises.
It was the sound of swordplay.
Although in Chen An's eyes, these people were a bit exaggerated.
They seemed to be fighting hard, but in reality, it was just that.
They thought they were performing wonderfully, using all their tricks.
Chen An just shook his head when he saw them.
Didn't they see Bai Qing frowning?
They were still thinking they were performing, putting in so much effort.
Chen An didn't want to criticize, but he couldn't help shaking his head.
Of course, most of these people were ordinary tribe members, many of them from other places. Perhaps they were used to being elsewhere and ended up overdoing it.
Among them, Chen An also saw some familiar faces.
Such as Bai Changren, and also Bai Zhilan.
Compared to the people around them, their competition seemed more direct.
Bai Changren's opponent was a young man who appeared strong, seemingly a branch of the Bai family, specifically coming from another place. He looked strong on the surface, obviously a decent opponent.
But even such a strong warrior, faced with Bai Changren, was quickly defeated in three or four moves, cleanly beaten.
The whole process looked very relaxed.
Wow.
Chen An couldn't believe Bai Changren wasn't cheating.
Bai Changren's own strength was around the level of reaching the peak of physical training, while his opponent looked tall and sturdy but actually was only at a lower level of physical training. In terms of strength, he was far inferior.
They really picked the wrong opponent!
Many Bai family members participated in this Grand Competition this time. Other prominent families in Shangyuan County, such as the Cao family, also sent quite a few people.
Among the participants, at least they were at the level of physical training.
In other words, they were at the lower level of physical training. This was already considered the weakest among them.
Bai Changren unexpectedly picked such a weak opponent, who would believe that he didn't rig the fight?
Chen An was not only the first to not believe it, but he also wanted to expose the truth.
If he hadn't paid off.
And if he had paid, that would be a different story.
Chen An sighed and walked outside, quietly looking for a new betting spot, betting on himself to win.
He placed the bet very boldly that the bookmaker couldn't help but come over, looking curious and asking, "Young man, do you have any inside information?"
"What information? No information?"
Chen An glanced at him and said, "As warriors, we should always move forward, regardless of the obstacles."
"If you don't have an undefeated heart, how dare you stand among others!"
After saying this, he left arrogantly, leaving only a silhouette behind.
The bookmaker looked puzzled as Chen An left, only spitting out, "Daring to bet so much and still claiming no inside information!"
"If you don't have an undefeated heart, how dare you stand among others! Okay, okay!"
A teenager on the side echoed, muttering the words Chen An had just said casually, his eyes shining.
He took out some silver coins and placed them on the table, saying loudly, "Boss, I, Cao Xin, bet these two silver coins on the young hero who just won!"
The boss turned around, looking puzzled at the teenager in front of him.
What's going on lately? Why are there so many fools?
He murmured in his heart, but he still registered the bet.
After all, not making money when you have the opportunity is a sin.
What he didn't expect was that after the teenager left, an unnamed wealthy woman with the surname Huang came and casually bet three thousand taels of silver coins.
After the elegant and beautiful woman with the surname Huang left, the bookmaker looked at the silver coins in front of him and couldn't help but have doubts.
"Is there really something going on?"
Chen An naturally was unaware of others' doubts.
He was already standing on the stage.
His opponent, a young man who seemed to come from the Cao family, didn't know his name specifically, but he seemed polite.
Looking at Chen An, he bowed first, then picked up his weapon, a delicate-looking soft sword, and rushed towards him.
Watching the exaggerated movements of his opponent, the sluggish speed that made people sleepy, and the obviously insufficient foundation, Chen An subconsciously wanted to push him off the stage with a wave of his hand, but he stopped just in time.
On the high platform, his face instantly turned serious as if he was facing a formidable opponent.
His long knife kept swinging, and in a short time, he clashed several times with his opponent. It seemed like a chess match where the pieces were evenly matched.
Just by the actions of both sides, it seemed like a fierce battle, appearing to be a stalemate.
Under the stage, Jiang Shu looked at Chen An on the stage, couldn't help but turn around and look at Huang Yuexuan, "Miss, what is Mr. Chen doing?"
Chen An's opponent's strength was not too strong, just reaching the peak of physical training, similar to Jiang Shu's strength.
If Jiang Shu were to go up and be in this situation with the opponent, it would be fine. However, Chen An...
Jiang Shu still remembered Chen An's ferocious appearance back then.
The big leader of the Black Tiger Gang in the internal gas realm would cut without hesitation, without any dragging situations.
But now, how come it took so long to face an ordinary warrior at the peak of physical training?
Facing Jiang Shu's doubt, Huang Yuexuan just smiled, not saying much.
With her intelligence, she naturally understood why Chen An did it.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with it, just finding it somewhat amusing.
In the past, she had encountered many internal gas warriors, and most of them were serious-looking, stern, and uncompromising.
Rare animals like Chen An, who were solely money-oriented, were indeed rare.
"It seems that Mr. Chen is very short of money."
Watching Chen An on stage, Huang Yuexuan pondered, suddenly a thought flashed through her mind.
During this period, she had also investigated Chen An's background, knowing that he was a talent picked up by Bai Qing by accident.
For this, Huang Yuexuan felt very envious.
Just going out to do something could pick up such a talent. Why couldn't such good fortune fall on her?
Since this person was discovered recently and not cultivated from a young age, wasn't there a chance to poach him?
Especially when his flaws were so obvious.
Huang Yuexuan carefully pondered this question.
Of course, she was just thinking about it.
Bai Qing was still watching.
Despite seeming to be good sisters with Bai Qing, others may not know the depth of their sisterly relationship, but didn't she know herself?
It was okay on ordinary days, but if she wanted to poach someone from Bai Qing, she would be digging her own grave.
"What's going on with him?"
Up ahead, Bai Qing looked at Chen An's performance and frowned at the moment.
Compared to the other supervisors, there were also quite a few people from Bai Qing's side participating in this Grand Competition, but the person she valued the most among them was undoubtedly Chen An.
With her understanding of Chen An's strength, he could easily deal with opponents like the one at the moment in just a few moves. Why was he taking so long?
"Sister Qing, it seems like your subordinate is not very obedient either."
Bai Changyuan smiled, timely adding a bit of sarcasm to Bai Qing.
"Thanks for your concern, Cousin Yuan."
Bai Qing responded coldly.
Chen An looked around.
