"What!!?"
"This ancient pagoda have an inheritance and someone have already gotten it!!?"
"Who might that be!!?"
"I think it has something to do with that young man over there!!"
’This is bad’ Hutton thought in anxiety while he kept a calm look on his face as he observed the people who are having an uproar all around him while they secretly stare at him.
"Did you really get this ancient pagoda inheritance?" Ling Jun asked with a doubtful look on his face. When Hutton heard him, he remained silent for a while before he answered in a low voice and thought at the same time.
"Maybe"
’This is just great, I just had to accept a curse that is in disguise of a blessing’
"Isn’t that right Hutton?" Bu Ling suddenly asked Hutton with a strange smile on his face as he got closer to him. But even as Bu Ling got closer to Hutton, the later still kept his calm as he answered in an emotionless tone.
"I don’t know what you are talking about"
"Oh really" Bu Ling said with an interested smile now on his face as he backed away from Hutton before he spoke up again.
"Well since you don’t know what I am talking about, then why don’t we just test it out and see if my guess is accurate?"
"And how are you going to do that honorable one?" Feng Po suddenly asked with a calm look on his face after giving Hutton a secretive and deadly quick glance.
’It seems like Emperor Chen was right about Feng Po’ Hutton thought with a solemn look on his face as he observed Feng Po from where he is.
As for Bu Ling, after going back to the center of the hall he was in, he finally said yet again.
"In this second stage of the clash of dojos event, there will be a change on how it is going to be carried out from here on out"
"What do you mean honorable one?" The person who is leading the people from the Huang family suddenly asked with a confused look on his face.
This person is a chubby looking middle aged man that has dark brown hair and a pair of black eyes. But despite his plump appearance, there’s a twinkling determination in his eyes that speaks of years spent honing his skills as a cultivator. His hands, though soft-looking, bear calluses from hours spent tending to his crops and gardens. He moves with a surprising agility for his size, and his presence exudes a comforting aura, as if he’s a reliable figure in the community.
"What I mean Mr. Fong is that there will no longer be a face off between two families till all the families is have fought each other. But instead, there will be a battle royal between all the families here all at once" Bu Ling answered with an excited smile now on his face.
’Battle royale? This isn’t good’ Hutton suddenly thought as his expression immediately darkened as he still continued on observing everyone in the hall. But just then, his eyes met with Huang Wang’s own which stunned him a little.
But Huang Wang expression wasn’t that of suspicion. It was just a simple expression of a light smile while he stared at Hutton, not long after, he just gave Hutton a slight nod before he turned and looked at Bu Ling.
’Huh? What was that?’ Hutton thought with a confused look on his face, but he couldn’t comprehend it fast enough as something unexpected happened.
In the next moment, In the heart of the expansive hall within the ancient pagoda, tension crackled in the air as the anticipation of imminent combat loomed. Suddenly, with a resounding thud, the ground beneath erupted, and a wide fighting platform ascended swiftly from the center.Standing unperturbed atop the platform was Bu Ling, a middle-aged man exuding a sense of calm amidst the brewing storm. His demeanor remained composed, a stark contrast to the fervor surrounding him. As the platform reached its apex, Bu Ling stood like a beacon of tranquility amidst the chaos, his gaze steady and unwavering.
"Now I want two of the best fighters from each family to come up this platform" Bu Ling said with a calm look on his face. Right after that, two people from each of the family from the hall began to walk towards the platform with fighting spirit brimming out of their bodies.
"Ling Jian and Ling Po Jun, both of you should go" Ling Huang Chou said with a calm look on his face.
"Yes Grand elder" both Ling Jian and Ling Po Jun said in unison before they began to walk towards the platform. When Hutton saw this, he still remained his calm demeanor as he quietly stood there.
After the two fighters from each families climbed upon the wide platform, Bu Ling suddenly looked towards Hutton who still stood calmly at where the Ling family are and said.
"You, come over here"

’I saw this coming’ Hutton thought as he walked towards the wide platform. But before he could reach the platform, Ling Huang Chou suddenly spoke up
"Honorable Ling, I thought you said only two fighters are allowed to climb the platform?"
"Are you questioning me?" Bu Ling asked as a cold look appeared on his face. When Ling Huang Chou saw this, he immediately shivered as he hurriedly answered.
"No honorable Ling, I can never do such act"
"Good" Bu Ling said with an indifferent tone before he turned to look at Hutton who have already approached the wide platform. And then, in the next moment, Bu Ling suddenly vanished from the center of the wide platform and reappeared in front of Hutton again.
"In this battle royale, the last four people standing will be qualified to participate in the final stage of the clash of dojos event while also have an attempt to get the inheritance of this ancient pagoda along with my good friend Hutton who is with me" Bu Ling suddenly announced with a light smile on his face.
When everyone in the hall heard him, there eyes immediately brightened as various thoughts ran into their minds while people on the platform were exuding even more intense battle spirit out of their body.
"So now you know what is at stake, you may now begin!!" But Ling eventually said as he back away from the platform along with Hutton.
And so, As the battle royale commenced, the clash of fists and kicks echoed throughout the platform. Ling Jian gracefully danced between opponents, striking with lightning speed, while Huang Wang unleashed powerful blows, sending his adversaries flying.A group of opponents surrounded Ling Jian, but with a swift series of strikes, he swiftly dispatched them, leaving them sprawled on the ground. Meanwhile, Huang Wang faced off against a formidable opponent twice his size. With a roar, Huang Wang unleashed a flurry of punches, each one landing with bone-crushing force until his opponent finally fell.
’It seems like Ling Jian and Huang Wang will be amongst the four people that will be standing in the platform’ Hutton thought as he observed those two.
But just then, Bu Ling suddenly got closer to Hutton as he said in a very low voice "As for you, follow me to some where"
"Where?" Hutton asked with a confused look on his face. But he didn’t get an answer from him as he suddenly vanished from the hall and saw himself in a dimly lit room.
In this dimly lit room that is nestled within the ancient pagoda, its walls adorned with intricate carvings depicting scenes from centuries past. The flickering light of oil lamps casts dancing shadows, adding an air of mystique to the atmosphere. In the center of the room stands a round table, weathered with age yet sturdy, its surface etched with symbols of wisdom and power.
Seated around the table are two middle-aged men, their faces weathered by experience and marked with lines of wisdom. Their attire speaks of authority, adorned with traditional garments that hint at a bygone era. Their gazes are focused, their expressions inscrutable as they engage in conversation that seems to carry weighty significance.
Suddenly, as if materializing out of thin air, a young man named Hutton appears in the room. His arrival is met with a mixture of surprise and curiosity from the two men, their eyes narrowing slightly as they assess the newcomer.
Following closely behind Hutton is another middle-aged man named Bu Ling, his presence adding to the aura of mystery within the room. His demeanor is calm yet commanding, his eyes holding a depth of knowledge that seems to transcend time.
As Hutton and Bu Ling join the others at the table, the atmosphere crackles with anticipation, as if the meeting of these individuals holds the key to unlocking ancient secrets buried within the walls of the pagoda.
"Is this the Hutton who speak of" one of the middle aged men seated suddenly asked with a curious look on his face.
"Yes, he is the one" Bu Ling answered with a calm smile on his face. When the two middle aged men heard him, there expression quickly became solemn as their gaze landed on Hutton while one of them suddenly asked.
"Oh really, then he must be the one who met him in the forbidden chamber".
