Fade Chen was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Gu Zhennan's back, and figured out why City Lord Gu appeared at this time.

It seems that this is not a coincidence, but City Lord Gu appeared only after Gu Qingxi said something about the forest.

Thinking of these, and thinking of that somewhat unreasonable girl, Fade Chen showed a smile on his mouth, and said lightly: "So, you are not as unreasonable as you seem!"

At this moment, Gu Tianzhong and Du Nanxing stepped forward with expressions of concern.

"Xiao Chen, are you okay!"

"Nowhere is it hurt?"

Fade Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "Master, I'm fine!"

………

After the group left, the South Gate became calm again, but what happened here quickly spread throughout Nanyan City.

Tomorrow is the city competition. Today, such a big battle took place here, and all major forces, including the city lord, took action one after another, which is very eye-catching.

Naturally, there were more discussions about Fade Chen.

Some people have already listed Fade Chen among the favorites to win the city competition tomorrow.

Some casinos that started the game were even more sensitive, and immediately adjusted the original top ten favorites to win the championship, and ranked Fade Chen among them, ranking tenth.

For a while, the name of Chen Fei became a hot topic in Nanyan City, and everyone from ordinary people to major forces was discussing it.

At this moment, Chen Fei, together with Du Nanxing, came to Nanyan Academy, found a practice room, recuperated and adjusted his breath, and tried to adjust his state to the end before tomorrow's competition.

One night passed, and the next day, the city competition arrived.

The whole Nanyan City became lively at once, and the martial arts personnel in the city gathered in the square in the center of the city early in the morning.

This is the location of this city competition.

In the center of the square is a specially set up arena, surrounded by a circle of stepped stands, enclosing the entire arena.

At first glance, it looks a bit like a crude gymnasium.

The inner circle closest to the ring was vacated, which was reserved for the major participating forces.

The outer layer is the location open to ordinary people in Nanyan City.

For some positions, the pre-sale started a year ago. Now that the competition is approaching, the price of the position has been increased by more than ten times. It can be described as hot, and it is enough to see Nanyan City's enthusiasm for the city competition.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the major forces arrived one after another, entering the vacant seats in the inner layer one by one.

The audience around, looking at these forces, were extremely excited, pointing and discussing.

"Look, there are the forces of the Gu family over there, and they have a lot of people here!"

"Those are the Gu family's contestants this time, Gu Duhe, Gu Xuanzhang and Gu Yuqin."

"The Luo family is also quite strong. Luo Zijin and Luo Ziyu are also here."

"There are students from the Martial Arts Department of Nanyan College over there, and the one at the front is Lu Huai!"

"What about Fade Chen? Does anyone know him? Are you here?"

"Hehe, what is there to care about, it's just a cannon fodder."

"No way, the casino has listed Fade Chen as one of the top ten favorites this time, no matter how you say it, it can't be cannon fodder!"

"Are you a fool? The casino is clearly chasing popularity on purpose, forcing Fade Chen to be among the top ten favorites. Only you foolish people will believe it!"

"I think that Fade Chen may create a miracle."

………

Amidst the heated discussion, Fade Chen, Du Chanyi and Du Nanxing walked out together.

Du Chanyi and Du Nanxing went to the camp of Nanyan College, because Du Chanyi came to participate in this city competition as a student of the Martial Arts Department of Nanyan College.

And Fade Chen walked to the position of the Gu family on the other side. This time he represented the Gu family to participate in the big competition.

Following Fade Chen's arrival, everyone in the Gu family looked over.

Among them were Gu Han, Gu Ling and others whom Fade knew, who gave them unfriendly expressions. There were also a few young fighters who looked up and down at Fade Chen with pride, and they seemed to be the contestants of the Gu family this time.

Fade Chen completely ignored these gazes, and walked directly to Gu Yu and Gu Tianzhong.

After the people from all major forces arrived, the next step was a big shot from Nanyan City.

With a "huh", a stream of light pierced the sky.

A phantom flew over quickly and landed on the ring.

In an instant, there was a sound of exclamation and discussion.

"This is the owner of Huang Zhuang. It seems that his strength has improved again this year!"

Immediately afterwards, a golden giant sword soared into the sky. In the surprised eyes of everyone, the giant sword descended from the sky, and with a whistling sound, it landed on the ring. The light bloomed and dissipated slowly, finally revealing a smiling figure .

"This, this is the Patriarch of the Gu Family, Gu Tianning."

"Was that Gu Tianning's Desolate Ancient Golden Sword Primordial Seal just now? It's too powerful, full of momentum."

"As expected of the ancient family, the momentum is powerful!"

………

Gu Tianning smiled and waved to the onlookers.

But, at this moment, with a bang, a mountain peak descended from the sky, and a shadow struck, making people feel as if the sky had collapsed, causing panic.

The mountain peak appeared above the ring, and finally exploded with a bang. A middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe appeared on the ring.

"Luo Yin, Patriarch Luo!"

"As expected of the Luo family, they really confronted the Gu family!"

………

Gu Tianning glared fiercely at Luo Yin who had stolen his limelight, snorted coldly, walked away in a huff, and walked back to the Gu family's camp.

Luo Yin chuckled and returned to Luo's house.

Then, Yan Ming, the dean of Nanyan College, Lu Wenhuan, the deputy dean, and other important figures in Nanyan City appeared one after another.

Finally, with a bang, a huge sun rose in the sky, burning and emitting dazzling light, rising to the center of the ring above the ring.

The giant sun shines.

A burly figure fell from the huge sun, with a majestic face and a good momentum.

In an instant, the noisy scene fell silent, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and looked at the person coming.

This silence was not broken until the figure walked to the chief seat in the middle and sat down.

"The city lord!"

"City Lord Gu!"

"It's too strong. Is this the aura of the Venerable Yuantai Realm? It's too shocking."

………

Gu Zhennan looked around for a week, and said loudly: "Everyone is here, then, the city competition will start immediately!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became lively.

Of course, some voices of discussion also followed.

"This year's city competition, are these big figures coming?"

"Compared to previous years, it is much weaker!"

"This year's Venerable Yuantai Realm, there are only five Gu Chengzhu, Luo Yin Patriarch, Gu Tianning Patriarch, Dean Yan Ming, and Vice Dean Lu Wenhuan, which is more than half less than the previous ones!"

"Are you confused? The weird ruins are about to open. Many venerables in our Nanyan city have gone to the ruins to wait in advance. Naturally, fewer people came to participate in the city competition than in previous years."

"Hearing you say that, I remembered it."

"The ruins are open, there should be quite a few treasures. If I can get one or two, then—"

"Don't dream, the weird ruins, that's where the venerables and bosses must be careful. We ordinary people, don't think about it."

"That's right, let's just watch the competition. The city competitions are all about young people's performances. The big guys come more often than they come, so the impact is not big."

"That's true!"

………

Following the order of City Lord Gu Zhennan, the city competition officially opened.

What is going on here today is the pre-selection stage of the martial arts competition. The rules are also very simple. Draw lots for a one-on-one duel. The winner will advance, and the loser will be eliminated. Finally, ten contestants will be determined.

Then, after three days of rest, these ten contestants will compete in the final.

Soon, the results of the lottery came out, and the opponents of each contestant also came out.

Maybe it was deliberately arranged by someone, or maybe it was a coincidence that none of the popular players at the top of the ranking met together in the front.

The competition began, and a famous contestant took the stage to compete.

Among them, the well-known popular players are naturally the focus of everyone's attention. And their strength is indeed not bad, almost within three moves, they can defeat their opponents and win the victory extremely easily.

In the end, Luo Zijin and Luo Ziyu from the Luo family; Lu Huai and Du Chanyi from Nanyan College; Gu Duhe, Gu Xuanzhang and Gu Yuqin from the Gu family; and Gu Qingxi, the daughter of the city lord, all these popular players advanced easily.

Then, it was Chen Fei's turn to appear.

As a contestant of the Gu Family, he was also included in the top ten favorites to win the championship by the casino. Coupled with what happened at the gate of the city yesterday, Fade Chen's appearance also attracted a lot of attention.

Many people's eyes were all cast over.

There are even some casinos that open gambling games on the periphery, allowing viewers to pay for betting.

In the eyes of everyone, Fade Chen stepped onto the stage.

In the first round, his opponent was a man at the sixth level of Yuan Soul Realm. Yuan Yin was a ferocious beast Yuan Yin called Violent Wolf. It played fiercely and had a sharp attack.

However, for Chen Fei, who has just been promoted and his strength has improved.

Not much effort was wasted, after Fade Chen played a few tricks with the opponent and figured out the opponent's strength. So he stimulated his vitality, and with a red long sword, he cleanly chopped up the opponent's furious wolf seal and won the game.

After getting off to a good start, many people at the scene also gave pointers and discussions.

"As expected of someone who was favored by the Gu family, he is really strong!"

"It's only the first round, and the opponent is too weak to be worth mentioning."

"Did you buy it just now? I won five hundred yuan stones, hurry up and place a bet!"

………

In the camp of the Gu family, Gu Tianzhong and Gu Yu saw this, with smiles on their faces.

Gu Yu raised his arms and shouted, "Xiao Chen, good job."

However, Gu Han and the others at the side cast strange glances immediately.

The three contestants Gu Duhe, Gu Xuanzhang and Gu Yuqin also glanced at Fade Chen, but there was some disdain and pride in their eyes.

The competition continued, and the second round began. The popular players in front still hadn't met each other, and all of them advanced easily.

It was Fade Chen's turn to step onto the ring again.

Standing opposite was a young man with a dark complexion and a thin figure.

When the man saw Fade Chen on the stage, his eyes were cold, and even with a touch of hatred, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fade Chen, you will lose in this match!"
