High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 623: Chapter 426: All 18 Blade Innates Arrive, Hunter Tournament, a World-Shaking Strike of Ice and Fire! (2)

"I’ve heard that it was the Fifth Madam who extended a hand to the master when he was at his lowest. The master was also planning to let go of this grudge..."

"But... who would have thought the Fifth Madam was already carrying the master’s child? If the master didn’t know, it would be fine, but now he knows."

"The military waited for hundreds of long years, but hasn’t the master also waited through several long decades of torment? He finally saw a glimmer of hope, only for it to be shattered instantly."

"Such despair could drive anyone mad, even if the master is the Martial Saint of our time... This battle cannot be avoided. It’s just a pity that a Martial Arts demon is about to perish."

Qing Zhi sighed deeply and spoke in a solemn tone.

"Let’s go."

Seventeen people broke into groups and left the mountain, heading towards Shenjiang City.

.....

Huaxia Hunter Association Branch, Shenjiang City General Association.

Recently, the Hunter Association is bustling with people. Fierce Beast Hunters from within Shenjiang City, and even hunters from surrounding cities, have come to witness the rising star of the Shenjiang City Hunter Association: the Flame Snow Hunting Corps.

So many hunters have arrived, and many citizens also wish to watch the competition. For a moment, the crowd was so large that the high-level officials of the Hunter Association were a bit overwhelmed.

But soon, the headaches turned into joy as they realized that if they managed this battle well, it might make the Hunter Association’s reputation even more renowned.

So during these few days, the Hunter Association took this opportunity to host a large hunter tournament in Shenjiang City. Hunters and hunting corps who wished to participate during these days could register.

At the same time, the association utilized its connections to promote this hunter tournament and even rented the Central Martial Arts Arena of Shenjiang City as the venue for the hunter tournament.

At dusk, a man with phoenix eyes stepped out of a taxi, approached by a young girl handing out flyers.

"Big brother, the Hunter Association will be hosting a hunter tournament at the Central Martial Arts Arena tomorrow. If you have time, you’re welcome to come watch. It’s free."

The young girl said crisply and a bit nervously, sincerely offering a flyer with both hands.

Qing Zhi frowned. He originally didn’t want to take it, but seeing the young girl’s sincere and eager eyes, he relaxed his frown and forced a somewhat awkward smile as he accepted the flyer.

"Sure, I’ll come tomorrow."

"Thank you, big brother!"

A hunter tournament, huh?

Qing Zhi glanced at the flyer in his hand. The military tournament was still a few days away, so taking a look tomorrow wouldn’t hurt. He might as well go see it.

The next day at ten o’clock.

Stepping out from the rest room of the Central Martial Arts Arena in Shenjiang City, Ji Xiaoyan felt slightly nervous amidst the thousands of gazes and the cheers of the people, despite her initial confidence.

She swallowed, "Xiaoxue, I-I’m suddenly a bit nervous. Are you nervous?"

Ling Xue was naturally nervous, but remembering someone in the cultivation room, with their confident face as they patted their chest loudly, constantly reassuring her not to be afraid, seemed more frightened than she was.

Ling Xue couldn’t help but laugh, and she didn’t feel so nervous anymore. She immediately pulled Ji Xiaoyan’s hand.

"Don’t be nervous, just follow what we’ve practiced these past few days. We’ve gotten a lot stronger, we can definitely win, and we can’t embarrass the master. We must win this battle!"

"Yes, we can’t disgrace the master. We must win!"

Instantly, Ji Xiaoyan regained her confidence, but after taking a few steps, she waned again, not expecting so many spectators. She initially thought it was just the Hunter Association hosting, with at most a few hundred people present.

But now, there are not just hundreds, even thousands aren’t enough; it seems like there are tens of thousands.

In the spectator seats, Qing Zhi found a spot in a corner to sit down. With his Martial Arts Realm, he naturally had no interest in this so-called hunter tournament, but since he promised yesterday, he had to come.

Just as he intended to close his eyes and rest, he suddenly felt a bit surprised and turned his head. He saw a few familiar faces.

Some among the eighteen Blade Innate had also arrived, even the usually solitary Cang Feng.

After Qing Zhi took his seat, he glanced at Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue who were on stage, "To reach the High-Level Sixth Stage at their age, they have some talent."

But it’s just some talent, nothing more.

In his mind, Qing Zhi instinctively compared these two with the target, Su Mu, and immediately lost interest.

On the opposite side of the Martial Arts Arena, a man and a woman stepped out. The tall man appeared provocative, "You really dare to challenge us, so be it. I’ll show you what a true A-Class Hunting Corps is. It’s not something you two girls relying on connections can compare to!"

"Big guy, huh, you’re not even worthy of that title. Xiaoxue, let’s not hold back later, let’s beat him up!"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Gale Corps was slightly startled, since when did ’big guy’ become a title of respect? But hearing the two intend to beat him, he immediately sneered.

"Ignorant!"

As for why ’big guy’ was a title of respect, only Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue knew, because when they first met Su Mu, Ji Xiaoyan called Su Mu a big guy.

The moment they met, tensions flared, inciting the spectators to cheer once again.

"Gale Corps for the win!"

"I’ve been a fan of Flame Snow for ten years, Flame Snow for the win!"

Some uninvolved bystanders started cheering wildly, causing the high-level officials of the Shenjiang City Hunter Association to beam with joy, as they hadn’t expected the tournament to be so successful.

"Elder Li, later we might still need you to host."
