Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the sun and moon alternated imperceptibly.
During this period, Qin Shi and the others gathered together every day, cooperating and familiarizing themselves with each other. It was not until the last three days that the four family heads called everyone to the conference hall for the final pre-competition counseling. "Little fellows, you all know that this Hundred Clan Hero Competition is different from usual.
"Little fellows, you all know that the Hundred Clan Hero Competition this time is different from usual. It's not a simple battle of thunder, but a competition of individual skills. This might be beneficial to us, or it might not be beneficial to us. The four categories are divided into attack, defense, speed, and scouting. Each of our clans has their strong points. I hope that during the Heroes Competition, we can all support each other and use our strengths to make up for each other's weaknesses. Never forget that we are allies." Lin Yi said, "Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
The sixteen of them answered confidently.
"Mm, it's good that you understand. But don't forget that our biggest enemy this time is the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan's attacks are very ferocious, so you have to be careful."
Yin Hong added. Then, he glanced at Qin Shi. "Also, the four of us have decided that young friend Qin will be your leader in this Hundred Clan Hero Competition."
"What?"
The people who were calm before were now embarrassed.
Yin Fenghao of the Yin Family, Xue Zilong of the Xie Family, Hou Qiangu of the Hou Family, and Lin Fangze of the Lin Family were all unhappy. "Why?
He's only at the Three Heavens Realm. How can he be our leader? "
"I'm not convinced."
The four of them were all at the Four Heavens Realm. It was naturally impossible for them to willingly serve Qin Shi.
Seeing that the four of them objected, the four family heads frowned.
"Haha, it's okay if you're not convinced."
Qin Shi was not surprised. "How about this? There are still three days before the Hundred Clan Hero Competition. Everyone is so bored that their bodies are stiff. Let's get some exercise before the Hundred Clan Hero Competition."
"What do you mean?" Lin Yi asked.
"Don't we always talk with our fists in the Hundred Clan Realm?
Of course we fight in the arena. "Qin Shi smiled faintly, but the aura around him stirred up a cold wind.
"Fight in the arena?"
Everyone's eyes widened. No one had expected Qin Shi to make such a request.
However, since Qin Shi had brought it up, Yin Fenghao and the other three naturally wouldn't reject it. They looked at the four family heads and waited for the result.
Lin Yi and Yin Hong looked at each other. Finally, Yin Hong said, "That's fine too. You can familiarize yourselves with each other through battle. However, I'll say the ugly words first. The Hundred Clan Competition will be held in three days. This time, everyone should stop when it's time to fight in the arena. If anyone dares to intentionally injure the other party, don't blame me for turning hostile."
"Hehe, alright."
Blood Dragon laughed mockingly. He got up and walked out of the hall. As he brushed past Qin Shi, his eyes flashed. "Brat, just you wait. I'll make you pay!"
For some reason, Qin Shi felt that Blood Dragon seemed to be targeting him at every turn. "Heh, what a strange person. When did I offend him?"
"Ignore him. He's only treating you like this because of Xue 'er. He's been courting Xue' er for more than ten years, yet Xue 'er has been around you every day. If it was someone else, they'd probably turn hostile as well. However, he doesn't have any bad intentions." Yin Fenghao's voice was not as cold when he passed by.
Hearing this, Qin Shi came to a sudden realization. He looked at Yin Xue 'er, who had been by his side the entire time, and smiled bitterly. "Can you blame me? It's my fault for having good luck with women."
"Don't act like you've gained something. Although I don't have any enmity towards you, I don't want to hand my family over to a piece of trash. If you want to be the leader, then show me what you've got." Yin Fenghao's personality was the same as Yin Hong's. They both had an infatuation towards martial arts.
"You'll see." Qin Shi shrugged.
Yin Fenghao nodded. Only then did he step forward with Hou Qiangu and Fang Ze. The rest of the group gradually followed. Yin Xue 'er accompanied Qin Shi and bit her lower lip worriedly. "Brother Shi Tou, are you really going to participate?
Why don't we not participate?
It doesn't matter who becomes the leader. Why do you have to put yourself in danger? "
Feeling Yin Xue 'er's innocent gaze, Qin Shi's heart clenched. It really was hard to bear a beauty's kindness. He ruffled Yin Xue' er's hair and smiled. "Silly girl, there are some things that you can't back down from. This is a man's dignity. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Then, you must be careful." Yin Xue 'er snorted with concern.
Qin Shi nodded. At this moment, the four family heads stepped forward. Yin Hong snapped, "Little guy, why do you have to do this?
If you didn't insist, I would have made you the leader just now. Even if these arrogant little guys aren't convinced, they can't say anything. "
"Hehe, there's no need. This is actually quite good. After all, I don't want to be a leader for nothing. If no one listens to my commands during the Hundred Race Hero Competition, then it would be putting the cart before the horse. The losses outweigh the gains." Qin Shi smiled.
"Are you confident?" the Lin Concubine asked worriedly.
"Have you ever seen me do something that I'm not confident in?"
Qin Shi glanced at the Lin Concubine and smiled. "Don't worry. Not only will I win this competition, but I will also win beautifully."
Seeing that Qin Shi was so insistent, they didn't say anything else. They left the conference hall together and gathered at the central battle platform of the Lin Clan.
The battle platform had already been repaired. Yin Fenghao, Blood Dragon, Hou Qiangu, and Fang Ze were already on it. Blood Dragon rubbed his palms together as he looked at Qin Shi, breathing fiercely.
Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, Qin Shi was calm and at ease. With his large hands behind his back, he leaped onto the arena and stood in the middle of the four people. "Brothers, I originally had no intention of taking the leader's position. However, since the clan head has made the arrangements, it would naturally not be good for me to reject it. However, the leader's position has always been held by the capable. Since everyone is unwilling to accept me, then I will stand here and allow all of you to challenge me. However, I hope that if I really win, all of you will sincerely obey me."
"Hmph, you can say that after you win." The first person to step forward was Blood Dragon.
As he faced off against Blood Dragon, the spiritual energy in Qin Shi's body gradually increased, forming a cold ripple between the two of them. There was a touch of gold and a touch of blood, and it was a charming scene.
"Brother Dragon, shall we start?"
"I can't wait!"
Blood Dragon roared. His body was very rough, and his arms were as thick as a water tank. As he raised his arms, the veins on his arms bulged like poisonous snakes. "Blood Battle in All Directions!"
Boom!
Blood Qi surged, and Qin Shi hurriedly took a few steps back. There was a hint of solemnity on his face.
"Trying to run?"
After Blood Dragon's attack missed, he didn't stop at all. He punched the arena and used the momentum to roll, closing the distance between him and Qin Shi. The five fingers on his other hand flickered, and a faint blood aura condensed above it. The blood aura formed a vortex under the pressure of the spirit force. It was like a raging tsunami on the surface of the sea as it surged forward.
"The Blood Qi Tyrant Body of the Blood Tribe. It seems that Blood Dragon is serious."
Under the pressure of the blood Qi, Hou Qiangu and the other two couldn't help but take a few steps back. They sighed. "This time, Brother Qin is in danger."
"Who can he blame? He dares to flirt with anyone's girl. He's just looking for trouble. Although Blood Dragon has just reached the Four Heavens stage, he has mastered the Blood Qi Tyrant Body of the Blood Tribe. Ordinary mid-stage Four Heavens cultivators may not be a match for him. This Qin brat will lose for sure." Lin Fangze laughed coldly.
"Not necessarily."
Unexpectedly, Yin Fenghao floated in the air, his eyes fixed on Qin Shi. "Don't think things are so simple. Qin Shi must have something special for the family head to think so highly of him. If you underestimate him, you may suffer a great loss."
Yin Fenghao's strength was the highest among them, and he had the spiritual energy of a Four Heavens cultivator. Therefore, his words carried a lot of weight. Hou Qiangu and Lin Fangze curled their lips. Although they weren't convinced, they didn't say anything and just watched the battle.
Unexpectedly, the next scene on the fighting stage caused the two's pupils to shrink sharply.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, a desolate power engulfed the Lin Clan, and the clear sky became hazy in an instant.
Qin Shi clasped his hands together, forming a seal that was like a crack that led to the Netherworld. From the illusory and pitch-black crack, streams of desolate power howled out, "Great Desolate Desert Technique!"
Boom!
Suddenly, the rocks turned into sand, and hundreds of desolate patterns swept past. Vitality dimmed wherever they passed.
"What a terrifying power …!" The crowd held their breath as their hearts sank.
"Is that it?" The Lin Concubine and the three sisters were shocked.
"Mo 'er, what martial art is that?"
"It's, it's a rank eight martial art!" The Lin Concubine bit her lips. She didn't expect Qin Shi to use the Desolate Desert Skill.
"What?
A rank eight martial art?
How is that possible?
There are only three rank seven martial arts in the Chi Yan Empire. How could there be a rank eight martial art? "
"It seems like we've all underestimated him." The four family heads' murky eyes shone with a dark light.
Blood Child Dragon's body spasmed under the raging Desolate Mark, and he was forced to stay in the arena. Seeing the power of desolation approaching him, the Blood Qi he had released earlier had already dried up, and he could no longer remain calm.
In the distance, Elder Xue Xiongfei's pupils shrank. Many people wanted to stop him, but they were no longer in a hurry. "Lord Qin, please show mercy!"
Indifferently, a devastating hurricane pierced through Blood Dragon's pupils, causing his not-so-long hair to flutter in the wind. Endless barren patterns rapidly expanded in his vision.
Swoosh!
Just at this moment, a black figure descended from the sky. His large hand flipped around in his sleeve, creating an endless suction force that completely dissipated the shocking Desolate Force. Only then did Qin Shi turn around. The corner of his mouth was gently raised, "Brother Zilong, looks like I have won this time around."
Blood Dragon came back to his senses. In just a few seconds, he felt like he had walked through the gates of hell, and his back was covered in cold sweat.
However, as a disciple of the Hundred Races, he knew the basics. He clenched his fists and said, "You win. Within the Hundred Races, strength is everything. I won't fight with you for the leader's position."
After saying this, he didn't even look back. He turned around and walked out of the stage.
Looking at his back, Qin Shi was slightly helpless. He smiled and said, "Brother Zilong, there's something I forgot to tell you. If you really like Lady Xue 'er, you should fight for her. As a man, don't always rely on brute force. You should care for her more and treat her well."
"Hmm?" The Blood Dragon froze in its tracks as it turned its head around. "What do you mean by that?"
