SWNOVELS Chapter 3286
Yarrow's expression stiffened, but he still explained, "Fade is quite talented in martial arts." "Not long ago, he defeated Lingo and Raul of the Loh family. Many people saw that scene."
Deniz shook his head and said, "Raul is only at Stage 6 of the Soul Refine Realm. He's not bad on normal days, but he's not good enough for the City Contest."
As soon as the words left his mouth, quite a few members of the Gu family nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, those who participate in the City Contest are all geniuses amongst the younger generation. Stage 6 of the Soul Refine Realm is nothing!"
"At the very least, he needs to be at Stage 7 of the Soul Refine Realm to be qualified to participate!"
"That is just the entry qualification. Everyone who participates in the tournament has reached Stage 8 of the Soul Refine Realm. For example, Tyreece Lu of the Martial Arts School of South Van Academy, Arian and Subhan of the Loh family, Madam Tu's granddaughter, Evelyne, and even Masie, the daughter of Mr. Goo, the number one genius of South Van City."
"That's right. Even Alyx, Uzair and Beatrice from our Gu family are all geniuses at Stage 8 of the Soul Refine Realm!"
Amidst the discussions, Deniz's face was filled with pride. He glanced at Yarrow and said, "Fade's strength is really not enough!"
"Therefore, I suggest canceling his qualification to participate in the City Contest on behalf of our Gu family. Please approve my request!"
After saying that, he bowed to Devin.
Devin looked thoughtful. After thinking for a while, he said slowly, "Yarrow, from all aspects, Fade is indeed not suitable for the City Contest. I think it's better to choose another person."
"Mr. Devin, this is the quota for my family tribe..." Yarrow was so agitated that he wanted to explain himself.
Devin waved his hand and said faintly, "I don't mean to deprive you of your quota. I just want you to change your candidate."
"You can choose other suitable martial artists to participate in the tournament. Of course, if there is no suitable candidate, you can still choose from within the Gu family."
His words sounded pleasant, but Yarrow knew what they meant.
It was clear that Devin wanted to take the opportunity to take back the quota and once again suppress the power of Talmon's family line.
After all, the City Contest was to begin the next day. They would not have the time to look for another martial artist who was suitable for the tournament.
"Mr. Devin, the matter of Fade's participation has been determined long ago. The tournament is approaching, I don't think it's right to cancel his participation at the last minute," Yarrow said. Devin snorted and looked displeased.
Deniz took the opportunity to sow discord. "Yarrow, are you
questioning Master Devin's decision?"
"I'm not..." Yarrow quickly denied.
However, at this moment, a loud shout came from outside the Gu family hall.
"So what if he's questioning him?"
A figure, like a phantom, entered the Gu family's hall.
In an instant, everyone looked at him.
When the crowd saw the man's face clearly, the expression on their faces became strange.
"Talmon!"
"Isn't he cultivating in seclusion? Why did he come out?"
"This guy has a weird temper. Something big is going to happen."
There was dead silence.
When Yarrow saw the arrival of Talmon, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a hurry, "Uncle, they want to terminate Fade's participation in the City Contest." Talmon nodded and replied, "I know."
Then, he looked towards Devin with a serious face and asked directly, "Is that your decision?"
Devin narrowed his eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "This is the result after the family's discussion."
"No matter how we look at it, Fade is not suitable to participate in the City Contest."
"Whether he is suitable or not is not up to you to decide!" Talmon said coldly.
Devin laughed softly and said, "Indeed, it's not up to me alone to decide whether he is suitable or not. However, it's not up to you alone to decide either."
"Just now, everyone had discussed Fade's abilities. He's indeed a genius when it comes to refining medicine, but unfortunately, the City Contest is about martial arts. Therefore..." Before Devin could finish, Talmon snorted and said, "Who said Fade is not capable in martial arts?"
"Everyone is well aware of this matter. Mr. Talmon, are you going to be persistent?" Someone questioned.
Talmon glanced at that person. After which, he snorted coldly and said, "I am not persistent. It's just that your information is too outdated."
"You're saying that Fade is not strong in martial arts, but you have no idea what happened just recently."
"When Fade was in South Yan Academy, he fought with five of the Martial Arts School's genius students alone. Recently, he defeated them all and returned after victory."
"How can you say that this kind of genius martial artist is not qualified? It's ridiculous!"
When these words were spoken, quite a few
Gu family members revealed looks of shock.
"One against five, and he still could win? Is this true?"
"Mr. Talmon, don't talk nonsense!"
"The students from the Martial Arts School of South Van Academy are not all that strong anyway."
Talmon snorted and said, "At that time, the students whom Fade defeated in the arena included Hamish, Rogin, Febriani, Leonard, and Bogdan. They are all top 20 students in the South Van Academy Martial Arts School, even in the top ten." "How can such Martial Arts School students not be considered as geniuses?"
When these words were spoken, the Gu family members once again revealed shocked expressions.
"Leonard and Bogdan are ranked seventh and fifth in the Martial Arts School. Their strength has reached Stage 7 of the Soul Refine
Realm, not far from Stage 8."
"If that is true, then Fade's strength should have at least reached Stage 8 of the Soul Refine Realm!"
"Being able to defeat these five people is not something that an ordinary Stage 8 Soul Refine Realm expert could do. I'm sure he is qualified to compete in the tournament tomorrow."
At this moment, everyone was discussing amongst themselves. Quite a number of people began to agree with Talmon.
A displeased expression flashed across Devin's face when he saw this. However, he was unable to refute.
It was because if Fade really did possess such a battle result, then there was no question about his strength. He was indeed qualified to represent the Gu family in the City Contest. However, this was not the result that he wanted to see.
At this moment, a servant from the Gu family hurried over and whispered something to Deniz in a low voice.
Deniz's expression changed drastically after hearing this. He became agitated and shot a look at Devin. He then stood up and said in a clear voice, "Mr. Devin, I have something to report." Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to Deniz.
Devin waved his hand and said, "Say it!"
Deniz hastily replied, "I've just received a report from a subordinate."
"Half an hour ago, Fade returned from his training in the forest. He has arrived at the city gate of South Van City."
Hearing this, Devin could not help but frown. He glanced at Deniz with a clear meaning.
Just now, when Deniz looked at him, he thought that there was some good news. Why did this happen now? This was actually good news for Talmon.
Deniz understood the meaning in Devin's eyes and hastily continued, "However, Fade was stopped at the south gate and was not allowed to enter the city."
"Those who stopped Fade included the head of Myriad Treasures Hall, Euan, and the Loh family's seventh master, Lucian Loh."
"The two personally led a team to stop Fade outside the city. They are confronting each other now."
When Deniz finished his words, Devin's previously puzzled and dissatisfied expression immediately turned into a smile.
Everyone present burst into an uproar and began to discuss it.
On the other hand, Talmon and Yarrow's expressions changed drastically and they became worried.
"Let's go and have a look!"
Regardless of the Gu family meeting, the two of them glanced at each other and directly rushed out of the Gu family and headed for the south gate of South Yan City. Seeing this, Devin smiled and said in a low voice, "Let's go and have a look too!"
In an instant, several more figures rushed out of the Gu family.
Almost at the same time, in South Van Academy, Natalia and Evelyne also received the news. Their expressions changed greatly as they put down their work and dashed out.
In the Martial Arts School, Tyreece and his grandfather, Eshaan, looked at Natalia's figure as she left in a hurry and smiled. "That guy is back, but he will be dead."
At this moment, Fade stood in front of the gate of South Van City. His expression darkened as he looked at the guards who were waiting at the gate.
These elite soldiers were obviously not ordinary city guards.
Judging from their clothes, Fade quickly recognized that they were members of the Loh family and Myriad Treasures Hall.
At this moment, the two people standing in the center of the city wall above the city gate attracted even more attention.
Fade recognized one of them. It was Jeremiah's father, Lucian.
The other person, dressed in
luxurious clothes, looked
distinguished. Although Fade had, never seen him before, he could roughly figure out that he was a
senior member of Myriad Treasures
Haff.
Their eyes fell on him. Almost at the moment they saw him, their eyes suddenly became cold and fierce. They looked at him with undisguised killing intent. "Stop right there!"
When Fade was about to enter the city, a group of city guards stopped him.
Fade raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you stopping me?"
The city guard snorted and said, "We need to inspect you before you can enter the city."
Fade spread his arms and said, "Go ahead."
The city guards pretended to inspect but they remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Fade asked coldly, "What is it?
Haven't you finished inspecting yet?"
elf
"Don't interrupt us when we have yet to finish our inspection." A captain snorted coldly and glared at Fade. see that your trail is suspicious and you need to be inspected thoroughly. Guards, bring him back forinspection. There is no room for any omission."
"Yes, sir!"
In an instant, several city guards surrounded Fade and were about to take him away.
However, Fade did not move. He even activated his positive energy to bounce off the city guards.
"How dare you! How dare you attack the city guards!" The captain shouted angrily, took out a steel knife in his hand and glared at Fade.
Fade's fingertips burst out a stream of positive energy and he tapped lightly.
Suddenly, with a sound of metal, the steel knife in the captain's hand directly broke and fell to the ground.
"You..." The captain's expression changed and he looked at Fade.
Fade glanced at him and said faintly,
"You're just a captain of the city guards There are some things that you can't interfere with. Leave now and don't make any decisions that you will regret."
After that, he looked up and glanced at Lucian and Euan, who were on top of the city wall. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and then he strode towards the entrance of the city gate.
