Chapter 263 Martial Arts Competition
When the person whose head was stuck in the pillar was pulled out, he almost couldn't breathe.
Liang Jingtao's face darkened.
"Brother Chen, even if he struck first, didn't you go a bit too far?" he said unhappily.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect the geniuses in the South District to be so weak. I've already used 90% of my strength," Xiao Chen said calmly, without a trace of apology on his face.
He wasn't exaggerating too much.
In fact, the person couldn't withstand even a fraction of the effort.
As soon as he finished speaking, the room erupted in chaos.
Xiao Chen's words offended everyone present.
These are all young geniuses from major martial arts families in the Southern District. Xiao Chen's words were extremely arrogant in their eyes and could not be tolerated.
"How dare this country bumpkin look down on all the young geniuses in the South District? He really doesn't know his place!" The crowd was filled with righteous indignation.
A young man immediately stepped forward.
"Let me, Li Shengxuan, have a go at you!" he said aggressively.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
"You want to fight me, is that it?"
He had no interest in fighting with these young masters from wealthy families.
If I lose control and kill a few, then there will be no peace and quiet.
"Hmph, do you think I'm some kind of street thug? Always ready to fight... You're from the countryside, no wonder you're so unsophisticated. Today, I'll show you something more sophisticated."
After saying that, Li Shengxuan walked towards a platform not far away.
Only then did Xiao Chen notice that there were some facilities in the place, which looked like they were for entertainment purposes.
Li Shengxuan chose a long, narrow platform. The platform was empty except for ten holes at one end, arranged in order of size.
“Ordinary people have their way of playing, and the upper class has their way of playing,” Li Shengxuan said condescendingly.
Someone brought over ten iron beads, each of the same size.
“Each person gets ten beads, and there are ten holes opposite each other. The highest bead you roll gets you one point, and so on, with the lowest hole worth ten points. After all ten beads are rolled, we compare scores; whoever has the higher score wins.” Li Shengxuan looked at Xiao Chen provocatively. “How about it, dare to play a game with me?”
Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.
This is what these young masters from wealthy families call competitive entertainment.
"It wouldn't hurt to play around with it." He smiled faintly, finally showing some interest.
“There’s a stake involved in this,” Li Shengxuan continued. “We usually start at 500,000 per point. Do you have any questions?”
His expression was full of sarcasm and disdain.
How much economic power could Chen Xiao, who comes from the small city of Nancheng, possibly have?
He was telling everyone that Xiao Chen didn't even have the right to have fun with them.
“Brother Chen, if you’re short on cash, it’s best not to accept the offer. After all, your family background is not as good as ours. Why waste money and cause turmoil in your family?” Liang Jingtao said with a smile, seemingly offering a well-intentioned reminder.
The crowd's expressions grew increasingly sarcastic.
“Chen Xiao, go play with them, I’ll pay for it!” Ouyang Muxue said coldly.
She couldn't stand these people's attitude and really wanted Xiao Chen to teach them a lesson.
Her future husband is a legendary king!
"Haha, Miss Ouyang, aren't you afraid he'll lose all your money?" someone shouted mockingly.
“Brother Chen, if you really need money, just say so, and I can lend it to you. But taking money from a woman is not a fair thing to do…” Liang Jingtao spoke up again.
Xiao Chen glanced at him indifferently.
"It's just a few hundred or tens of millions, I don't need it," he replied calmly.
Soon, he and Li Shengxuan were standing in front of the platform.
The two men each held ten iron beads in their hands.
Li Shengxuan revealed a sinister smile.
This was his forte, and he had mastered it to perfection. He not only wanted to teach Xiao Chen a lesson, but also make him lose money and face.
Liang Jingtao and the others wore smiles, clearly having great faith in Li Shengxuan's abilities.
"start!"
With a shout from someone, the scoring began.
All ten beads must be tossed within a specified time, and then the winner and winner are determined by the score, and the prize money is calculated.
Xiao Chen didn't even look at the other nine holes, only staring at the smallest one.
It's about the same size as the iron ball in your hand, so throwing it in is no easy feat.
It is also the hole with the highest score; a successful throw earns ten points.
Xiao Chen casually tossed it, and the first bead flew towards the smallest hole.
Even though the hole was so small that it could only fit a single iron bead, it posed no difficulty for him.
Just as the iron bead was about to fly into the smallest hole, Ouyang Muxue smiled.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a black iron bead flew from the side and struck Xiao Chen's bead precisely just as it was about to fall in...
"Boom!"
In an instant, the two beads collided and flew backward in opposite directions.
Xiao Chen's iron bead was shattered, and the fragments landed on the table, while Li Shengxuan's bead remained intact, flying into one of the holes in the middle.
"Li Shengxuan, five points! Chen Xiao, no points!" someone shouted from the side.
"Is it still possible to interfere?" Xiao Chen frowned.
"Hehe, of course you can, otherwise what's the point?" Li Shengxuan laughed, quite pleased with himself.
He won the first round decisively!
He exchanged a glance with Liang Jingtao, his smile somewhat sinister.
Xiao Chen looked at the iron bead in his hand, then at the one in Li Shengxuan's hand.
The iron beads on both sides look similar, but only those who know their stuff can tell that they are not made of the same material.
"Chen Xiao, keep it up!" Ouyang Muxue cheered for Xiao Chen from the side.
Xiao Chen smiled slightly and picked up the second iron bead.
Seeing this, Li Shengxuan immediately prepared himself, intending to repeat his old trick.
"Whoosh!" As Xiao Chen threw out the iron ball, he followed suit and threw it out as well.
The two iron balls collided rapidly.
"boom!"
One of the iron beads broke again, and it was even more serious than before.
"what?"
Li Shengxuan looked surprised and somewhat incredulous.
Because... this time it was his iron bead that shattered.
Liang Jingtao and the others also widened their eyes.
The iron beads that Xiao Chen used had clearly been replaced...
The two materials are very different, so why did the harder one break?
They couldn't understand it.
Liang Jingtao glared fiercely at the person beside him.
The man was timid and hesitant, filled with doubt and uncertainty.
He clearly changed...
Could it be that I really took the wrong one?
"Li Shengxuan scored no points, Chen Xiao scored ten points." The scorekeeper announced with a dark face.
He couldn't shout anything in front of everyone.
Everyone was startled again.
very……
In what situation could you still get ten points?
Xiao Chen picked up the third bead.
Li Shengxuan refused to believe it and kept a close eye on Xiao Chen's movements, intending to use the same trick.
However, this time, he will devote even more effort to it.
"I refuse to believe that my strength is inferior to that of a country bumpkin, especially since that iron bead has already been tampered with..." he thought with a somewhat gloomy expression.
A cold smile played on Xiao Chen's lips as he released the third bead...
