Chapter 233 The Tumultuous Times in the Capital (9)
Time passes day by day.
The preliminary rounds of "Hot-Blooded Fighting Arena" have officially begun.
With the support of various advertising and marketing campaigns by major corporations and Jingtao Building, as well as promotional activities in rural areas.
The entire nation of China, young and old, knew about this variety show.
"Unrestricted fighting variety show".
Variety shows are essentially programs that integrate various art forms and content to bring viewers a relaxing and enjoyable audio-visual feast.
However, when this term is paired with "unrestricted fighting," it gives people a rather strange feeling.
However, lured by the high prize money, even the preliminary rounds in various regions were overcrowded.
To everyone else, "fighting" is just about fighting, as long as you don't lose an arm or a leg.
Anyone can participate; it's not difficult at all.
Even if you don't get a ranking, you'll still get paid as long as you participate in the competition and win a match.
What's the difference between this and finding money on the street?
Even if some people think money is useless, what about their families?
Therefore, it doesn't matter whether you have the ability or not.
Everyone participated.
The venues for each preliminary round were packed with people and bustling with activity.
Those who considered themselves to have some martial arts skills were all eager to try their hand at it.
The competition proceeded smoothly.
Once the competition begins, it's easy to tell who is stronger and who is weaker at a glance.
However, this may not be the case for some.
After all, the Great Xia Dynasty is a land of vast territory and outstanding people.
Aside from those who awakened the Forbidden Ruins, among the remaining group, there are bound to be some exceptionally talented individuals.
For example, you might see a burly, strong man and a lean young man.
A normal person would think the strong man would win easily, but unexpectedly, the young man was as agile as a monkey, dodging the strong man's attacks in a few moves, and even finding the right moment to kick the strong man to the ground with a side kick.
There are women who appear frail but possess astonishing explosive power, elderly men who are over fifty but are agile and healthy, and seemingly sickly teenagers who defeat robust middle-aged men in a series of defeats.
Inside the Forest Protection Bureau of Anta County, Tianhe City.
Li Deyang frowned as he looked at the young man in sportswear who had just entered the game on his phone, and sighed.
The young man in the phone is a new night watchman assigned to their Anta County this year.
"I don't know if Chen Han's participation in this program complies with the Night Watchers' code of conduct, but... I don't think there's a rule that Night Watchers can't participate in programs, right?"
"Even though Chen Han's skill level is relatively low, he is still far superior to ordinary people in terms of fighting ability."
"I hope he can come back with peace of mind after participating in the show and receiving his prize money..."
We were hoping to give a newcomer a good training session...
After all, their mysterious appearances have been happening more and more frequently lately.
As Li Deyang spoke, he put down his phone.
I looked up at the primeval forest of Anta County outside the window.
There are mixed feelings in my heart.
He was tempted by the prize money; with that money, he could buy his father a new house and send his daughter to a better school...
With money, he can do many things.
Although the Night's Watch's benefits are already quite good, they pale in comparison to the enormous bonuses they receive.
But... he's needed here.
It's fine if Chen Han takes leave and leaves, but if he leaves again and something happens in the forest... he won't be able to escape responsibility.
As a city on the border of the Great Xia Dynasty, Tianhe City's infrastructure is relatively underdeveloped.
The streets are usually deserted, with hardly anyone to be seen.
However, due to the holding of the "Hot-Blooded Fighting Arena" preliminary tournament in Tianhe City, people scattered throughout the city were all gathered together.
The scene of the preliminary round in Tianhe City.
The crowd surged like a tide, with cheers and shouts mingling together.
Chen Han, dressed in simple sportswear, walked resolutely towards the ring.
His opponent was a tall, muscular man with a disdainful smile on his face. "With your skinny arms and legs, you should just give up the match and stop making a fool of yourself and wasting my time."
Chen Han sneered, although compared to Uncle Li...
His skill level and fighting ability are inferior to his.
However, with the blessing of the forbidden ruins, his physical abilities are far beyond those of an ordinary person.
The match began with the man launching the first attack, his punches powerful and forceful.
Chen Han skillfully dodged, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
Suddenly, he seized the opportunity, turned sideways, and threw a punch quickly.
Click.
The man's arm snapped off instantly, and he screamed in agony.
The audience erupted in an uproar; no one had expected that the seemingly frail Chen Han would possess such strength.
The man clutched his severed arm, his face filled with disbelief, his eyes blazing with anger and resentment, yet he still wanted to continue his attack.
The referee did not intervene.
"You've got some skill, but it's not enough to beat me!"
The man, dragging his severed arm, staggered but still lunged fiercely at Chen Han.
Chen Han frowned, feeling somewhat displeased. This person really didn't know what was good for him.
He quickly turned to the side and kicked the man in the knee. With another "crack," the man's knee broke, and he collapsed to the ground.
"They've gotten this bad, isn't the referee going to stop them?"
"Yeah, yeah, this guy looks like he's about to be beaten to death."
Ignoring the noise from the audience below, Chen Han looked at the man lying on the ground and said, "Do you want to continue fighting? After all, we're just doing no-holds-barred fighting, which means I can kill you without facing any legal consequences."
"Otherwise, why do you think the Jingtao Group would make you sign a 'Death Agreement' before the competition even started?"
"Cough cough... I admit defeat."
Upon hearing the man say this, the referee seemed to wake up and arranged for people to carry the man away.
Seeing the man's fate, the hearts of the contestants who were initially eager to try were instantly dampened.
They do want money.
But you also need to be alive to enjoy them!
Scenes like the Tianhe City division competition are playing out throughout the entire Great Xia, and not everyone is as "knowing when to stop" as Chen Han.
The intensity and brutality of the matches were even greater than those in other arenas.
Some even fought each other with weapons, and it was a bloody battle...
