Silence Valkyrie

Chapter 38 Factional Dispute
In the next two rounds, Zhang Shan remained the same, dragging down his opponents one after another with this unprogressive style of play in the eyes of outsiders.

On the viewing platform, Ma Qingyi said in displeasure: "What is he? He has completely embarrassed the warrior."

Fang Yiru smiled thoughtfully: "I must have felt that Senior Brother Ma blamed him for being cruel to his fellow disciples, so he restrained himself now? Didn't Senior Brother let him take care of himself?"

Of course Ma Qingyi knew that this was Fang Yiru's teasing about the fact that he bent the law for personal gain just now, so he snorted inaudibly and closed his mouth.

After four rounds of competition, the top four contestants advanced to the top four. Zhang Shan and Shentu Shengdong both won all four games and ranked the top two. Tie Feixiong and Situ Qingyang ranked third with three wins and one loss. four.

Originally, Qian Shaoyang was stronger than Situ Qingyang, but he was exhausted and lost to Zhang Shan, and then met Situ Qingyang in the third round.

Since the true energy hadn't recovered in time, and he couldn't even display half of his strength, Situ Qingyang was lucky to win.

After the semi-finals were drawn, Situ Qingyang faced Zhang Shan, and Shentu Shengdong's opponent was Tie Feixiong.

"Does this mean that the two of us are fighting each other?" Zhang Shan thought disdainfully in his heart.

Shentu Shengdong slowly walked onto the ring, and the first match between him and Tie Feixiong was scheduled.

Tie Feixiong stood under the ring, frowning and thinking, but didn't go up.

Just when the referee wanted to urge, Tie Feixiong said: "I abstain."

Shentu Shengdong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Then thank Mr. Tie for accepting the concession. After the match, I will definitely ask Mr. Tie to conspire to get drunk."

He asked himself that he was absolutely sure of defeating Tie Feixiong, but if the opponent tried his best, he might suffer some minor injuries, so it would be ideal to win without a fight now.

Tie Feixiong smiled calmly and said, "If Tie asks himself if he is not an opponent, he won't take it upon himself. As for Mr. Shentu's invitation, let's talk about it later."

Shentu Shengdong understood in his heart that he had to wait for the final result before deciding whether to make friends with him.

He didn't care about it at the moment, and actually got off the ring.

"It's probably because I'm not sure about winning, so I'm happy to be a favor and sell the Shentu family a favor. Hey, this Young Master Tie is also a well-rounded person."

Zhang Shan secretly paid attention to Tie Feixiong, and then jumped onto the ring.

Situ Qingyang was about to give up the game like Tie Feixiong at this time, but Zhang Shan looked at him, shook his head slightly, and signaled him to come on stage.

Situ Qingyang stepped onto the ring full of doubts, and stood not far from Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan cupped his hands and said, "I've always wanted to fight brother Qing Yang, today I just ask for advice."

After being beaten for three consecutive games, he had already absorbed almost all of his true energy, so of course Situ Qingyang could not be allowed to abstain without a fight. As long as he absorbed more of his true energy, he should be able to advance.

Although Situ Qingyang didn't understand why Zhang Shan did this, after making eye contact, he confirmed what he meant, so he nodded slightly to express his understanding.

Immediately launched the attack first, and when his body was intertwined, he asked in a low voice: "What's going on here?"

"Let's talk about it later, now you will try your best until you are exhausted." Zhang Shan quickly confessed.

Situ Qingyang's eyes flashed, thinking of these few rounds of competition, Zhang Shan has been fighting in this passive way, there must be a purpose, and it is impossible for him to hurt him.

So Situ Qingyang didn't hold back any more, and used all his strength to attack Zhang Shan.

"What's going on here? Isn't Zhang Shan from the Situ family? How do you think Situ Qingyang really looks like he's punching to the flesh?"

"I also thought it was just a formality for the good of the scene, but looking at it now, could it be an internal strife? Situ Qingyang must be out of his mind. Isn't this helping the Shentu family?"

"Could it be that the Situ family's idea is to let Zhang Shan be the pioneer, and the real intention is to escort Situ Qingyang to the final?"

"You pig brain, he is two levels lower than Shentu Shengdong. Even if Zhang Shan lets him enter the finals, is he still delivering food to others? I think there must be something hidden, this thing is weird."

The audience began to whisper, with weird expressions, and the supervisor Ma Qingyi also wondered secretly, frowning and thinking.

Half an hour later, Situ Qingyang finally exhausted himself and took the initiative to admit defeat. Zhang Shan won the place to advance to the final.

There is a two-hour break before the finals, so that the contestants who finally enter the finals can recover their true energy and fight with all their strength.

At this time, Zhang Shan had already returned to the practice room next to the martial arts field to rest.

After a while, the door opened.

Situ Qingwan walked in frowning, and immediately asked: "What the hell are you doing? I thought you used that tactic to hide your strength in the finals, but I asked my cousin just now, and he said that you asked him to go all out." fought against you?"

"Yes, I feel that I am only a little closer to the promotion, but I need some external stimulation, which has something to do with my body training."

Zhang Shan concealed the fact that Sen Luo Wan Xiang Jue can absorb the opponent's true energy, and avoided the seriousness and attributed the reason to his own body training method.

"So that's how it is." Situ Qingwan suddenly said, "Then how do you feel now? Can you make a breakthrough like the time on Rouge Street?"

"I'm going to try to hit the third level of the Spiritual Martial Realm now, two hours of rest should be enough." Zhang Shan said with a smile.

"That's great. If you can advance to the third level, you're sure to win Shentu Shengdong." Situ Qingwan became excited.

"However, I have a question in my mind. What happened to the supervisor Ma Qingyi? Given the relationship between your family and the sect, didn't you receive the news in advance?"

Zhang Shan changed the subject, Ma Qingyi's attitude made him feel uneasy, and he felt uneasy, so he hoped to figure it out before breaking through.

Situ Qingwan's face darkened: "We also just received a summons from the sect that something big is going to happen in Qingyang City..."

She began to briefly tell Zhang Shan the latest news she got.

Although Qingyang City is mixed with fish and dragons, it is basically under the secret control of two sects, one is Wentian Sect and the other is Xuanwu Sect.

Xuanwumen is a middle-level sect, but it has always been supported by Xuanming Palace, a major sect in the world, so it can be said to be a subsidiary sect of Xuanming Palace.

And Xuanming Palace and Wentianzong are mortal enemies, and they have always been incompatible.

The mountain gate of Xuanwumen is relatively close to Qingyang City, while Wentianzong's mountain gate is too far away. Therefore, the power of Xuanwumen in Qingyang City has been suppressing Wentianzong.

Like the academy in Qingyang City where the Xuanwumen is located, both the scale and the number of teachers are beyond the reach of the Wentian Academy.

Qingyang City Wentian Academy has only 500 disciples, which is the bottom among the eight hundred schools of Wentianzong, while the Xuanwu Academy in Qingyang City has [-] students.

However, just recently, Wen Tianzong had made a decision to completely control Qingyang City and expel the forces of Xuanwumen.

"If the Zongmen really controls Qingyang City, then secular affairs will generally be entrusted to the aristocratic families attached to the Zongmen. There are many elders in the Zongmen who prefer my Situ family to take this position, but there are also other factions in the Zongmen who want to take this position. Fushentu's family is in charge."

After Situ Qingwan finished introducing the situation, he looked at Zhang Shan and said, "Ma Qingyi is someone who supports the Shentu family, so..."

"I see!"

Zhang Shan was stunned for a while, and then he let out a long sigh of relief. Power struggles are everywhere, even the high-ranking sects outside the world are no exception.

"You have to win this entrance quota. In the past, it was related to the interests of our family and the Shentu family, but now it is related to the struggle above." Situ Qingwan sighed.

"I understand. It's not too late. I'm going to pass the customs right now. You stay outside and help watch."

Zhang Shan knew that the situation was dangerous in a flash of his mind, he had to be fully sure to win this game, and there was no room for loss.

"Father and fourth uncle are here, I'll ask them to come over to help you protect the law." Situ Qingwan nodded, and quickly left the room to make arrangements.
