C19 You're my opponent

Jiang Chen swept his gaze through the crowd, but he didn't find Situ Jing. However, he had previously confirmed that she would participate in this competition, so he wasn't too worried. He continued to follow the crowd, but the looks they gave him made him feel scared.

"Why is Situ Nan following us too?" Isn't he supposed to be with the Patriarch? "

"There's no need to think about it. I've definitely been scolded by the clan head once more. I can only follow him to participate in the competition!"

"But Situ Nan has been acting quite strange. He seems to have calmed down quite a bit!"

"Right, he doesn't even look like him anymore!"

"…"

Jiang Chen's brow creased slightly as he listened to the rustling around him. He pretended to be angry and kicked viciously at the people who were still discussing earlier. "Why do you talk so much? Follow me honestly!"

When they saw that Jiang Chen was angry, the others stopped talking. They finally understood that Situ Nan was still that Situ Nan. They were just overthinking things!

"All of you, stay close!"

Sturm, who was in front, turned his head, coldly swept his eyes over the people behind him, and shouted loudly. When he saw everyone quivering, he turned around and continued walking forward.

Soon, the Situ Family arrived at the center of the city. The center of the city was bustling with noise and excitement. Although they had controlled the restlessness of the crowd, there were still too many spectators.

"The Situ Family has arrived!"

Following the call, the group of the Situ Family stopped in the middle of the plaza and lined up in their original positions. As for the other three great clans, they stood next to each other, while the people of the four great clans sat in the center of the plaza, looking at the disciples of the family with great interest.

Jiang Chen stood in the middle of the crowd and carefully sized up the others. When he saw Jiang Wufeng sitting on the stage, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes and he hid it behind his eyes. His expression was still as calm as before.

"Chief, Young Master Nan is also participating in this competition!"

In the center of the city, after assigning disciples of the clan to his clan, Si Tu Lei walked up to Situ Feng and spoke softly.

"Oh?"

His eyes swept through the crowd and saw Jiang Chen standing there with an indifferent expression, as if he had some doubt in his eyes. He felt that something was wrong, but his expression immediately returned to normal as he looked at him and said calmly, "Don't worry about that kid, his level is only that of a fish in troubled water. It's good for him to see the world, otherwise he'll know how to work all day and all night!"

After he finished speaking, Situ Feng didn't pay any more attention to Jiang Chen. Instead, he slightly furrowed his brows, and looked with some doubt at Si Tu Lei. "Why isn't Jing Er here?"

"I heard she's with Elder Ghost, she should be here soon!"

Situ Feng's face eased up and he gently nodded his head. He then closed his eyes and paid no more attention to the changes in the field.

"Patriarch Xin, you've come. I'm afraid that your Xin Family will get the most slots in this exam!"

Jiang Wufeng cupped his hands and walked towards Xin Shi with a fawning smile on his face.

Xin Shi was depressed because of Xin Gu's death, so when he saw Jiang Wufeng, he didn't care about him anymore. As for Jiang Wufeng, he awkwardly said a few words before he left, the hatred in his heart for Jiang Chen increased. If it wasn't for him, the Jiang family would have been connected to the Xin family!

"Father!"

A familiar voice entered his ears. Situ Feng slowly opened his eyes and saw Situ Jing's figure. A doting look flashed across his eyes as he asked, "Jing Er, you're here?"

"That's right, how can such a good opportunity for cultivation be lacking to me!"

Situ Jing mischievously held onto Situ Feng's hand with a smile on her face.

Seeing Situ Jing's appearance, a rare smile appeared on Situ Feng's stern face. He gently patted her head and said, "Alright, you can leave now. The competition is about to begin!"

"Alright!"

Just as Situ Jing was about to turn around and leave, Situ Feng called out to her again, "Oh right, did you know that Xiao Nan also participated in this competition?"

Hearing her father's question, Situ Jing's brows slightly jumped. She slowly turned her head around with a fawning smile on her face. "I know. He told me!"

"Is that so? Then why didn't he tell us? "

After receiving Situ Jing's reply, Situ Feng's expression immediately became ugly. He frowned and his voice carried a hint of ill intent.

"Maybe he wants to prove himself for all of you to see. You should know what his younger brother looks like. He's always been very stubborn!"

Perhaps it was because he felt that Situ Jing's words made some sense, but Situ Feng's complexion slowly began to improve. He nodded at Situ Jing, then closed his eyes and no longer spoke.

When Situ Jing saw that her explanation was over, she let out a breath of relief. She smiled at the ghost lady beside her and walked down to Jiang Chen's side.

"That was close! I almost let my dad see through it!"

Situ Jing looked at Jiang Chen and said softly.

Jiang Chen smiled gratefully at Situ Jing when he heard her words. He didn't respond, but rather observed his surroundings.

"Everyone, it's getting late. We can start now!"

While the others were still flattering each other, a figure appeared in the center of the city with a faint smile on his face.

"City Lord Zhang!"

Seeing the newcomer, the people from the four great families immediately became friendly. They greeted him fawningly, and even Situ Feng opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the newcomer. A sliver of friendliness flashed across his eyes.

Zhang Qiu was not only the City Lord of the Bane City, but he was also one of the honorary elders of the Myriad Dao Sect. Although his status was only listed in the Myriad Dao Sect, he was still someone that the four great clans had to please. After all, the Myriad Dao Sect's status in the Divine Demon Continent was high and it was an existence that everyone yearned for.

Along with City Lord Zhang's words, a burst of drumbeats sounded out, and a faint voice then echoed in the square: "The competition begins, this competition can be divided into four rounds of the ranking competition, through the same number of people as yourself, whoever wins will be promoted to the next round, of course, the person who fights with me will be someone from another clan! "We'll begin the selection now!"

As the announcement was made, the crowd started boiling with excitement, and soon enough, everyone had their number. Jiang Chen looked at the number 36 in his hands, and the corners of his lips curled up. He then raised it, and a figure immediately walked towards him.

"You are my opponent?"

Jiang Chen looked at the fatty who was looking at him with disdain, lightly shrugging his shoulders to indicate his response.
