Chapter 317: Genius Competition Begins
After Wang Yufan completed his registration, Wang Li, supported by two attendants, limped back towards the Prince’s Mansion in Bright Moon City.
At this moment, the Prince’s Mansion was filled with laughter and joy.
"Master, come catch me!"
"My little darling, here I come! You won’t be able to escape this time."
"Master, I’m here too, I’m over here!"
...
The laughter of the middle-aged man and the maids echoed through the mansion, but just as they were enjoying themselves, the gate of the Prince’s Mansion was suddenly crashed open.
Several maids recoiled in fright.
As they slowly raised their heads, they saw the corpulent Wang Li returning, supported by two attendants.
At this moment, the lewd middle-aged man, whose eyes were covered with a black cloth, slowly took it off.
Upon seeing his son return, he should have been happy, but seeing Wang Li’s face bruised and swollen, his expression immediately changed.
Wang Li was his only son, so how could someone dare to publicly attack his child in Bright Moon City?
Wang Gang quickly walked up to Wang Li and his attendants, asking with concern, "Li’er, what happened to you? Tell Father who did this."
Upon hearing these words, Wang Li, who was already in his twenties, could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
"Father, you must uphold justice for your son! I was beaten terribly!" Wang Li cried. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
The two attendants following him also covered their faces and said in unison, "Yes, Father, you must uphold justice for the young master!"
Hearing this, Wang Gang’s eyes turned cold.
His mind began to race, trying to figure out who could make him uphold justice, unless the three of them had provoked someone they shouldn’t have.
But in Bright Moon City, besides the Imperial Palace, who else would dare to oppose him, Wang Gang?
"Were you bullied by a prince of the imperial family?" Wang Gang asked uncertainly.
Hearing this, Wang Li quickly shook his head and said, "It wasn’t a prince of the imperial family.
You warned me not to provoke anyone from the imperial family, and your son has always listened to you."
"Hmm? If that’s the case, then who exactly beat you all like this?" Wang Gang asked.
"Master, it was a participant from Qingcheng this time," Wang Li’s attendant said.
"What? A participant? Does he not know that you are my son, Wang Gang’s? Even if we don’t cultivate, we are backed by the Mingyue Empire.
How dare he be so presumptuous?" Wang Gang exclaimed.
"Yes, I told him, but that kid didn’t care at all and directly attacked me, beating your son like this.
You must uphold justice for me!" Wang Li said.
Looking at his son beaten so badly, Wang Gang narrowed his eyes and said, "Don’t worry, Li’er.
The Mingyue Empire has a rule that no one can touch the participants of the annual competition.
However, tomorrow is their competition day, and I happen to be the overall person in charge this time, so I will make good arrangements.
Li’er, what’s the name of the person who beat you? Tell your father, and your father will avenge you."
Hearing his father speak like this, Wang Li hurriedly said, "His name is Wang Yufan."
"Wang Yufan... Wang Yufan, what a Wang Yufan.
This time, I will make sure you don’t live long; I’ll have someone break your legs first.
I still have some impression of Qingcheng.
If I’m not mistaken, Qingcheng has always been at the bottom of the annual grand competition.
This time, even if I make a move, no one will care," Wang Gang said.
"But Father, that kid’s strength doesn’t seem weak.
When you make arrangements, you must assign him a powerful opponent," Wang Li said from the side.
"Hahaha, Li’er, go down and rest to recover from your injuries.
Don’t forget that someone from our Prince’s Mansion is also participating in this grand competition," Wang Gang said.
Hearing this, Wang Li covered his bruised and swollen face, his eyes suddenly lighting up as he said, "Father, are you talking about my cousin Yang, Yang Jue?"
"You are indeed my son; you got it right with one guess.
That’s right, it’s your cousin Yang Jue.
His strength is at the late stage of the Life and Death Realm.
Although he might not be as good as those monstrous geniuses, his strength is already not to be underestimated.
I believe he will definitely avenge you," Wang Gang said.
"Father, I want that kid to win a few matches first tomorrow.
Then, when he thinks he’s about to win, we’ll arrange for my cousin Yang Jue to go up and give him a heavy blow.
We must break that kid’s arm then.
If it weren’t for the rule that there shouldn’t be life-threatening injuries in the competition, I would really want cousin Yang Jue to kill him!" Wang Li said.
"Alright, alright, that’s enough.
You two go back and heal your injuries first.
Later, I will invite the best physician from the Mingyue Empire to treat you," Wang Gang said, then gestured for the butler to come.
Wang Li and his attendants also left the place.
"Master, are we still playing?" a maid asked uncertainly.
"Playing? Of course, we are.
I’m going to have a good time playing with you all today!" Wang Gang said with a lewd expression.
Soon after, inappropriate moans could be heard from the backyard of the Prince’s Mansion.
...
After returning, Wang Yufan sat in the tavern and inadvertently sneezed.
He knew that the people who registered him today were definitely talking bad about him behind his back.
Wang Yufan just shook his head, then his thoughts immersed themselves in the Nine Absolutes Tower, comprehending the lower part of the first layer of the Taiqing Demon-Slaying Sword Canon.
For Wang Yufan, the lower part of this first layer was indeed a bit difficult and hard to comprehend all at once.
As time passed little by little, the Mingyue Empire’s Grand Genius Competition officially began.
The Eastern Training Ground of Bright Moon City had already been taken over by the imperial family.
People entering here had to pay fifty Yuan Stones to enter, while participants could enter directly with their registration information.
This also became a major source of income for the Mingyue Empire each year.
The training ground was divided into four major areas.
The first major area was for the imperial family, seated in the due east of the training ground.
The other three areas were the participant area, the spectator area, and the invited guest area.
These four areas were clearly demarcated.
No one could enter without paying Yuan Stones.
At this moment, Wang Yufan was sitting in the participant area.
Here, he suppressed his aura.
Because as soon as he entered, he saw a familiar figure: Wanru of the Ice Moon Sect.
Wanru was still wearing a veil and a plain white gauze dress.
And Wanru, when she arrived here, also felt a strange sense of familiarity.
She knew that person must be here.
Wanru kept scanning the participant area with her divine sense but still couldn’t find him.
Finally, she gave up.
Anyway, she knew that since Wang Yufan had participated in this competition, he would definitely be on stage.
There was no use in being anxious.
She only hoped that she would meet that shameless person in this grand competition so she could teach him a good lesson.
