The next final will not take place until three days later.

The main reason is that in this preliminaries, all contestants are exhausted, so it takes time to recover.

And during these three days, everyone was not idle.

Other projects of the City Dabi are also going on at this time.

Competition items such as alchemy, talisman making, array, and beast control were launched one by one.

Although it is not as eye-catching as the martial arts competition, it can still attract a group of people to watch, and it is very lively.

Fade Chen didn't pay attention to these projects and returned to Gu Tianzhong's mansion.

In the preliminaries, his consumption was not too high, but after all, there was some consumption, so it is better to hurry up and recover his strength.

However, when Fade Chen was about to retreat and recuperate.

Gu Han came to the mansion.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Yu didn't have a good look at him.

Gu Han rolled his eyes, instead of arguing with Gu Yu, he held his head up and said, "I'm here for business, I don't have time to mess around with you."

"You—" Gu Yu's expression darkened.

Gu Tianzhong came out at this time, and said: "What's the matter, tell me!"

Gu Han said: "It's like this, the Patriarch sent an order to call Fade Chen to my Gu family's main house to discuss the final in three days."

"What is there to discuss?" Gu Yu said dissatisfied.

Gu Han said displeased: "Gu Yu, what do you mean? This is the Patriarch's order, so are you going to disobey the Patriarch's order?"

"You—" What else did Gu Yu say.

At this time, Gu Tianzhong said: "Okay, I understand. I will take Fade Chen there."

Gu Han said: "Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, please don't forget the time, uncle."

"Have you finished? You can get out!" Gu Tianzhong swung Gu Han out of the mansion with a big wave of his hand.

Gu Yu was a little puzzled, looked at Gu Tianzhong and said: "Uncle, what are you going to do at home, what can you discuss with them? I think they are dissatisfied with Fade Chen's defeat of Gu Duhe, and they might want to take revenge on us !"

Gu Tianzhong shook his head and said: "No, it's related to the finals. Gu Tianning is not that confused."

"Is there anything special about the final?" Gu Yu asked.

Gu Tianzhong didn't answer, and said: "You will know tomorrow."

"Go and inform Fade Chen and let him prepare."

In the morning of the next day, Fade Chen, Gu Tianzhong and Gu Yu came to the Gu family's home.

Speaking of which, although Fade Chen has been here in Nanyan City for a while, the Gu family has never been here once.

Entering the ancient mansion this time, I have to say that this ancient family is worthy of being a big family in Nanyan City for thousands of years. The entire mansion has a huge area and exquisite and luxurious architecture.

Moreover, on the outer layer of the entire mansion, a defensive circle was specially arranged to resist possible foreign invasions.

The interior of the mansion is many times more luxurious than Gu Tianzhong's mansion in the outer city.

After walking for about half an hour, the group finally arrived at the conference hall of the main hall of the Gu Family.

In the conference hall, Gu Tianning, Gu Han, Gu Xuanzhang, Gu Duhe, Gu Yuqin and other people Fade knew, as well as several white-haired old men whom Fade had never met before, were all sitting in it.

With the arrival of the three of them, all the eyes on the scene were cast over at once, and fell on the three of them.

"coming!"

Gu Tianning said.

"coming!"

Gu Tianzhong replied.

On the side, Gu Han sternly shouted, and said to Fade Chen: "When you see the Patriarch, don't kneel down to salute."

Fade Chen remained motionless, not intending to salute.

"You are so courageous—" Gu Han shouted sharply.

But at this moment, Gu Tianzhong sneered, and said to Gu Tianning: "If it's because of this kind of little trick that you asked us to come, then we'll leave now."

After finishing speaking, Gu Tianzhong turned around directly, ready to leave.

Seeing this, many ancient family members in the house frowned.

Gu Tianning finally spoke out: "My cousin misunderstood."

Then, he glanced at Gu Han and told him to shut his mouth.

"I invite you here this time mainly to discuss the finals of the martial arts competition in two days."

Gu Tianzhong said: "Speak directly, don't beat around the bush."

Gu Tianning's complexion changed slightly, but he still suppressed his anger, and said loudly: "I have received news that the final venue of the city martial arts competition this time is Frost Valley in the north of the city."

"Frost Valley!"

Hearing this name, Gu Tianzhong's face became slightly serious.

On Fade Chen's face, there was a look of doubt.

Gu Yu introduced to Chen Fei: "This Frost Valley is a jeopardy in the north of our Nanyan City. It was originally an ordinary valley, but thousands of years ago, the valley suddenly became cold for some reason. In the end, it got colder and colder, and it became a frozen world."

"The entire valley is covered with ice and snow all year round, and the cold air is threatening. Moreover, there are all kinds of fierce beasts that adapt to the ice and snow environment, and the strongest ones have even reached the eighth or ninth level of the original soul state, and their strength is very impressive."

"Of course, because of the special environment, some special herbs and materials have been bred in Frost Valley, which can be used for refining medicine and equipment. Therefore, many people have ventured into Frost Valley to find various rare herbs and materials. "

"In general, the finals will be held in Frost Valley. Not only must we guard against human opponents, but we must also deal with the harsh natural environment and beasts in Frost Valley. The overall difficulty has increased a lot."

After listening to Gu Yu, Fade Chen nodded slightly, and he was a little prepared for the final environment.

Upon seeing this, Gu Tianning continued: "Moreover, I also learned that not long ago, City Lord Gu found a ten thousand year ice core in Frost Valley."

"And, he took the ten-thousand-year ice core as a prize for this final, and the champion can get it."

Hearing this, even Gu Tianzhong couldn't help but change his face, showing surprise.

"The ten thousand year ice core, as a prize. Is this true?"

Aside, Fade Chen showed doubts again on his face.

Gu Tianzhong explained to him: "The ten-thousand-year ice core is a very rare ice-attribute treasure. Its rank has reached the eighth rank of the human level, which is very precious."

Hearing this, Fade Chen also felt the preciousness of the ten-thousand-year ice core.

After all, treasures, like Yuan Yin, are divided into three levels of heaven, earth and people, and then from low to high from first rank to ninth rank.

The previous Gu Duhe and others, who were human-level fifth-rank or sixth-rank Yuan Yin, were considered geniuses in Nanyan City. This shows how rare high-grade Yuan Yin and treasures are.

Therefore, this ten-thousand-year ice core of the eighth rank of human level can be said to be very precious.

Thinking of this, Fade Chen couldn't help feeling hot in his heart.

At this time, Gu Tianning continued: "My Gu family is bound to obtain this ten thousand year ice core."

"So, I hope that in the finals, Fade Chen, you will do your best to assist Gu Xuanzhang to win the championship and get the Wannian Ice Core."

Chen Fei, who was furious just now, heard this, his heart turned cold, and his face turned a little cold.

As if aware of Fade Chen's thoughts, Gu Xuanzhang, who was wearing a long robe, stood up with his hands behind his back, looked at Fade Chen and said, "My Yuan Yin is an ancient ice sword of the seventh rank of human level. Among the Yuan Yin, at least my Yuan Yin can be raised by one level, reaching the eighth rank of the human level, and at the same time, my combat effectiveness will be greatly improved."

"Of course, don't worry. If you help me win the championship and get the ten-thousand-year ice core, the benefits will be indispensable to you."

Gu Tianning looked at Fade Chen and said, "Do you understand?"

Fade Chen frowned slightly, and his voice seemed a bit cold, "I heard from City Master Gu that the competition should be fair and just. Even in the finals, Gu Xuanzhang and I are still rivals, right? Helping the opponent win the championship, isn't it cheating?"

Hearing this, Gu Xuanzhang was a little dissatisfied, and said: "The rules of the final and the preliminaries are different. It's not a one-on-one ring battle. It's a big scuffle where ten people enter Frost Valley together."

"The final rule for judging the outcome of the final is also very simple, that is to find the token of Nanyan City that City Master Gu buried in the valley on purpose."

"Finally, according to the number of tokens, the champion will be determined."

"So, you just need to give me the token you found, that's enough."

After listening to Gu Xuanzhang's words, Fade Chen finally understood what the final was like. However, he still shook his head and said: "I agreed to represent the Gu family in the competition, mainly to repay the kindness that Gu Tianzhong and Gu Yu have shown me."

"And the two of you promised me back then that all the benefits gained from participating in the competition will belong to me."

Hearing this, Gu Tianning looked at Gu Tianzhong and Gu Yu with doubts on his face.

Gu Tianzhong nodded and said: "That's true, that's how I promised Xiao Chen at the beginning."

"Also, Xiao Chen has won honor for our Gu family so far. I think this is very reasonable."

Gu Xuanzhang was dissatisfied, and even said to Fade Chen with a sarcastic expression: "Don't you think you might win the championship?"

"Why not?" Fade Chen asked back.

Gu Xuanzhang laughed loudly: "Haha, why not? It's up to you, if you don't pee, look at yourself, what are you?"

"Don't think that if you enter the finals, you are really good. Let me tell you, in the preliminaries, the real masters have not practiced their skills, and the finals are the stage for us to play. Your little three-legged kung fu, in the finals, is not at all. Not worth mentioning."

Fade Chen said: "I know my strength. Everyone will see how I perform at that time."

"You—" Gu Xuanzhang was a little angry.

Gu Tianning said: "Tell me, what benefits do you want, as long as my Gu family can give it, I will definitely—"

Before he could finish speaking, Fade Chen shook his head and said, "I want the ten-thousand-year ice core."

This sentence instantly blocked Gu Tianning, and he had nothing to say.

After a few seconds of silence, Gu Tianning looked at Gu Tianzhong and said, "Gu Tianzhong, are you sure you want to do this?"

Gu Tianzhong said in a deep voice: "I respect Xiao Chen's choice. Besides, the purpose of the martial arts competition is to select the strong. This kind of unspoken rule of holding together for warmth should have been abolished long ago."

"You—" Gu Tianning was a little annoyed, but he still suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth, "Gu Tianzhong, this is not only the final of the city competition, but also related to the competition between our Gu family and the Luo family. To our Gu family and the Luo family's game of billions of primordial stones."

"Uh—this—" Gu Tianzhong frowned.
