CHAPTER 676: CHAPTER 168: HUNTING CORPS REUNITED

"Oh, what good ideas could you possibly have? Let’s hear them," Tianyidong asked curiously.

"Actually, it’s quite simple. The reason the audience is too lazy to watch the competitions is that the matches are too monotonous. If we could add some fun elements, maybe things would be different," Kong Fei muttered a few words into Tianyidong’s ear.

Upon hearing this, Tianyidong immediately perked up.

"Good, that really is an exciting idea. I will issue an order right away to get both the Yellow Wing and Xuan Yi Districts fully prepared."

After hearing Kong Fei’s suggestion, the Second Young Master pondered over it and thought it was a very good idea.

The next day, Tianyidong summoned the heads of the four major competition zones and announced a new decision.

"As the Arena’s performance has been continuously declining and the end of the year is approaching with the annual competition about to start, this young master has given it thorough thought and decided to adopt an entirely new format for this year’s annual competition," Tianyidong deliberately left a cliffhanger.

"What?! Merging the annual competitions of the Yellow Wing and Xuan Yi Districts, this is absurd!"

The maintenance work in the Xuan Yi District is much more challenging compared to that in the Yellow Wing District.

As Tianyidong’s order was passed down, several referees from the Yellow Wing District immediately became agitated.

Especially Tian Yiyu, who was quite opposed to the announcement made by Kong Fei.

Tianyidong’s new idea was to attract the audience by deciding to merge this year’s Yellow Wing and Xuan Yi annual competitions.

The competitors of the Yellow Wing District will challenge the Demon Beasts of the Xuan Yi District.

Tian Yiyu knew right away that this idea could definitely not have come from Tianyidong himself.

Tianyidong is just a reckless Martial Artist. In previous years, he had never thought of any ways to improve the performance of the Sky Wings Arena.

"We think this idea is feasible. On the continent, there has never been an Arena directly pitting Demon Beasts against people in a competition. This idea has a lot of talking points," the people in charge of the Sky Wings and Earth Wing Competition Zones immediately agreed with enthusiasm.

Tian Yiyu cursed inwardly, calling them two old nags; it’s not your competitors, so of course you’re happy.

"Big brother, this matter came up so suddenly, perhaps we should go back and discuss it with father," Tian Yiyu suggested.

"Suddenly? Tian Yiyu, father may have acknowledged your identity, but I have not. Speaking of sudden, what could be more sudden than me suddenly having an additional sister?" Tianyidong became displeased upon hearing this.

After Tian Yiyu was acknowledged and returned to the family, father had been extremely affectionate towards her, even allowing her to independently manage the yearly financial investments of the Yellow Wing District.

The Chu family mother and son were on the verge of monopolizing all of the Tianyi City Lord’s Mansion’s assets.

"Don’t say I’m being dictatorial; I’ll give you all a chance. The five people present, let’s vote. Whichever side gets the majority will have the final say," Tianyidong said impatiently.

Quickly, the results of the vote came out, and the annual competition for both the Yellow Wing District and the Earth Dark Wing District would be merged and held this year.

The decision was immediately published in the form of an announcement.

Regarding this announcement, most of the competitors did not take it too seriously, except for a few from the Yellow Wing District who were participating in the annual competition and had quite a few objections.

Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling both saw the announcement as well.

In the Sky Wings Arena, cross-grade and cross-district competitions have occurred, but those have been special circumstances when a competitor from one district is close to a breakthrough in strength.

"Flame Emperor" is the champion of the monthly competition in August, and according to the rules, will have to face the Demon Beast champion of the Xuanyi District in August.

Fighting against a person might be okay, but battling a Demon Beast is a different story.

"Can we refuse? I heard that the competitions in Xuanyi District are intense, and the Demon Beasts haven’t been tested lately. They are hungry and more ferocious than before," Donghuang Lingling, who had encountered some Demon Beasts while in the Eastern Capital, said.

In fact, among the nobility in the Eastern Capital, there is also a tradition of hunting, so Donghuang Lingling has more understanding of competitions between Demon Beasts and people.

"You can’t refuse. Otherwise, you will be stripped of your championship title for the August monthly competition, and the third place will automatically replace you. Moreover, all your past winning streaks will be reset to zero," Tian Yiyu came over and told Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling this overbearing rule with resignation.

Tianyidong is known for being tyrannical and unreasonable, and set this unfair rule just to force the monthly champions to agree.

The second place in the August monthly competition is "Liu Dao."

However, after the most thrilling final in the history of the August monthly competition, Liu Qingqing ended up with a dismembered fate, and Turtle Blade died, so the "Shuanglong" who ranked third had to be the substitute.

Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling have been competing for several months, with a winning streak that has reached over eighty. According to the rules of doubling the rewards in the annual competition, a single victory in the annual competition can be equivalent to ten matches in individual competitions.

As long as they can make it into the finals of the annual competition, it is very likely that they will achieve a hundred consecutive victories and thus secure the title of Fighting King.

Now, being told that their achievements are to be stripped away, both are naturally unwilling.

Moreover, once they obtain the title of Fighting King, they will also receive additional rewards from the Sky Wings Arena.

Most other competitors feel the same, and Tianyidong is taking advantage of their reluctance to refuse, which is why he made such a tyrannical decision.

Having no choice, Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling had to accept this arrangement.

In the blink of an eye, another two months passed, and time has entered November.

In the past few months, the trials of both the Mainland Magic Elite Camp and the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp were carried out smoothly and orderly.

During this period, there was no news from Ye Beiming and Feng Tian.

Chen Lianlian was grounded on the Skyship by Elder Helian, Gu Feng’s Defensive Sky Ball made greater progress, and Qi’s strength steadily improved.

It wasn’t until mid-November that Yun Sheng received a very surprising letter.

After reading the letter, Yun Sheng immediately showed a brilliant smile.

She happily told Donghuang Lingling, "My second uncle and the brothers from the Hunting Corps are coming."

It turns out, as the fastest-rising Hunting Corps on the continent in the past five years, "Sky Expedition" is coming to Sky Wing City to observe the competition and improve the Hunters’ cultivation.

Saying it’s for observation, in reality, it was specially arranged by Yun Canglang.

Yun Sheng had written home every few months to avoid her uncle and grandfather worrying about her, keeping them informed of her recent circumstances.

In a letter three months ago, Yun Sheng mentioned that she was training in the Mainland Magic Elite Camp for a year within Tianyi City.

Yun Canglang had not seen his niece in over two years and missed her dearly. After discussing with the brothers of the Hunting Corps, they unanimously decided to visit "the young master" in Tianyi City.

Of course, before they came, they all had no idea that Yun Sheng was also among the competitors in this year’s annual championship.
