Chapter 555: Comprehension! Comprehension!

At the moment of defeat, “The First Emperor” finally broke through the pressure imposed on him by Linghu Chong, unleashing the sword intent suppressed in his heart—a far more powerful sword intent he had never understood before! The sixth move!!
That sword strike was so fast that even Linghu Chong couldn’t react in time; his shoulder was injured, blood gushing forth. Standing on the arena, he stared at “The First Emperor” and the fallen swordsman, remaining motionless for a long time.
On the other side of the arena, Kai Xin was defeated in one move by Xiao Feng’s most powerful technique from the “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms”—“The Arrogant Dragon Regrets”!
Seeing Kai Xin unable to block even one of Xiao Feng’s moves, many in the crowd rejoiced at his misfortune.
At that moment!
“Youth Kai Xin! This is all I can do. I hope you can grasp the essence of this move…” Xiao Feng said loudly from the arena.
Everyone in the crowd was astonished! It was only then they remembered—Xiao Feng had also used the “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms” just now. Could it be that Kai Xin hadn’t been able to block a single move because he was trying to understand the subtleties of Xiao Feng’s technique?
Boom!
The crowd erupted in excitement. Even the heroes of the world were puzzled, not understanding why Xiao Feng, the leader of the Northern Beggars’ Sect, would give Kai Xin such respect.
But Kai Xin knew he now owed two favors from the Beggars’ Sect—one from Guo Jing of the Southern Beggars’ Sect and one from Xiao Feng of the Northern Beggars’ Sect. Favors from NPCs were not easy to repay…
Moreover, as the strongest technique among the eighteen palm moves, “The Arrogant Dragon Regrets” was incredibly lethal. He had personally experienced and understood its power—amplified strength, lightning-fast speed, and no chance to dodge. If he could fight “The First Emperor” after comprehending this technique, who would win was uncertain!
“Thank you, Hero Xiao Feng, for your guidance. I will remember it deeply,” Kai Xin replied, calmly breaking free from Miss Murong and bowing.
By now…
The four defenders on the arena had been replaced by Xiao Feng, Linghu Chong, Zhang Sanfeng, and Zhang Wuji.
After meditating to heal himself for a while, Linghu Chong regained his strength, causing a brief silence among the crowd.
With both “The First Emperor” and Kai Xin defeated, all players lost their desire and courage to challenge further! Everyone knew that by this point in the martial arts tournament, it hardly concerned them anymore.
The top three players in this tournament would be Kai Xin, Haotian, and “The First Emperor”.
“The First Emperor” was the biggest loser. He had once been a strong contender to become the greatest martial artist, but…
Yet Kai Xin truly deserved his place!

He successively “defeated” the Abbot of Shaolin, Master Kongxiang, then swiftly beat Wei Yixiao from the Mingjiao sect, and finally met his end at the hands of the unparalleled warrior Xiao Feng. It was truly remarkable for him to make it this far.

As for Haotian, the Six Veins Divine Sword was indeed rare and invincible. If not for being defeated by an emperor, who knows how far he could have gone.

Although Kaidi had guessed the outcome of this martial arts conference, he felt no joy at all. His gaze shifted to the “Emperor” across the arena in the distance.

The duel between the two never took place…

After a pause, Kaidi took out a homing pigeon and, under everyone’s watchful eyes, released a letter. The “Emperor” on the opposite side received the pigeon.

It was obvious who sent the pigeon to the “Emperor” at such a time.

“Boss, provoking them at a time like this isn’t very moral, right?” Xiao Bei quietly approached Kaidi, lowering his voice and speaking in a conspiratorial tone.

Kaidi ignored him.

It wasn’t until the “Emperor” on the other side read the note and nodded toward them that Kaidi finally felt relieved.

The Emperor!
At least he wasn’t an ordinary person; such a setback shouldn’t trouble him.

“Boss, what did you say to him? He doesn’t seem angry at all.”

Xiao Bei covered his head, which had been hit by Mo Mo earlier, and asked cautiously, having learned his lesson this time.

Yinhu, Leizhan, Mo Mo, and the others also showed interest, eager to know what the two had said.

Before Kaidi could reply, the snow-white homing pigeon landed in his hand, making a “cooing” sound.

Numerous eyes immediately focused on the note in Kaidi’s hand. He unrolled it, glanced at it quickly, kept a calm expression, and, without giving others a chance to see it, crushed the note.

“Boss, that’s not fair.”

Xiao Bei stared for a long time but couldn’t see the contents. Seeing Kaidi destroy the evidence, he grew even more frustrated.

“Alright, stop complaining. It’s not meant for you to read.” Mo Mo pretended to hit him, and Xiao Bei quickly ducked his head, adhering to the principle of not challenging a woman stronger than himself.

Amidst the group’s banter, Kaidi and Mo Mo returned and stood behind Miss Murong’s seat.

By now, the eight great families regarded Kaidi with extreme wariness, and some of the younger disciples even looked at him with awe…
Miss Murong’s status had also risen significantly.

Kaidi ignored them all:

“You guys keep an eye here. I’m going down to eat something.”

Although there were still a few hours left, it seemed nothing more would involve him.

“Oh, okay.” “Don’t worry.”

Noticing Happy’s gaze before he left, Silver Fox also quietly logged off. When Xiao Bei tried to talk to Silver Fox, he realized the guy was standing there like a wooden statue, showing no reaction at all, muttering to himself that Silver Fox was indeed cunning—once the boss left, he quit too. …
In his own living room, Happy met Silver Fox and his three brothers.
“How’s it going?”
He was still quite curious about those who had come out of the special forces with Silver Fox.
“Not bad. Living near school is convenient; there are girls to look at every day, it’s eye-catching, and life is rich.” Under Silver Fox’s warning, Daozi kept his tone in check, sitting on the sofa and giving a proper answer.
The other two were Leizi and Tiaozǐ. One had almost died from an explosion, while the other had aspired to be a police officer, hence they got such nicknames in the army. They used them as game names because they sounded catchy.
“Actually, I originally wanted to hire all of you, but now I can’t say that anymore.” Happy liked Daozi quite a bit. He heard that this guy had even mortgaged his house to help Silver Fox’s sister pay medical bills, almost sacrificing himself as well—he was a very loyal person. Moreover, Daozi spoke in a straightforward manner, like a genuine guy, without any pretense. “Silver Fox said that the four of you came out of the army as one family, closer than real brothers. So, we’re family now.”
“Okay.”
Daozi also liked Happy.
Especially after meeting Happy, he realized how unique Boss Silver Fox was. Being so young and still able to spare five million without hesitation meant he was either foolish or genuine. But it would be good to be friends.
And indeed, being with Happy was great for Silver Fox—not only did he become extremely famous in the game, going from an unknown loner to the well-known “Silver-faced Marquis,” but his wealth also reached hundreds of millions—Silver Fox’s REP share had officially crossed 100 million. It was like night and day compared to a few months ago when he was on the verge of selling his pants to raise money.
