Song Que returned to the inn after Ling Hua asked him to go back while she handled the rest. Inside his room, Song Que closed his eyes, trying to relax his chaotic mind. After calming himself under the influence of the world around him, he swallowed the remaining Spirit Pill from his victory during the clan battle in Green City earlier. Tomorrow was the day the competition would begin. It was said that there would be many experts, and he was the youngest participant. No matter what, this battle concerned someone’s life and death. Each city was required to send five representatives who had reached the Earth King level as a condition. Anyone below that level would be disqualified. Meanwhile, Song Que was still at the peak stage of the Energy Core. That requirement forced him to release his third shackle and advance to the Earth King level. If he ignored it, he would not be recognized as a participant. This was a decision that had to be made. Ideally, he should have reached the

“Bastard!” The First Elder was furious when he realized that the one lying right in front of his feet was the Third Elder. This death would shake the very foundation of the Hundred Poisons Sect’s stability. “Second Elder, let’s take him down together!”“Yes, First Brother!” The Second Elder could no longer suppress the storm raging in his heart, ready to smash against the rocks.The two of them glared at Song Que, then began moving in an unusual pattern.The Second Elder leapt and passed over Song Que, the two of them intending to make sure their prey would not escape.They attacked simultaneously, blue energy gathering in their hands, ready to deliver fatal blows. The attacks from both directions carried deadly poison—even if it did not strike directly, merely inhaling it would cause the blood to malfunction and eventually stop flowing. Once that happened, the opponent would surely be defeated.Both of them were extremely confident.Hiyaaa!…Bam! The palms of the two elders from the

Sai Kun looked at Song Que in front of him with disdain. He spoke to Sai Ziyan,“Look at the strength of your uncle’s subordinates. They’ve already reached the Mid-Earth Realm. Both of them are my right-hand men. Just watch how they break that man’s bones!” Sai Kun shouted.Song Que waved his hand and caught the fist aimed at his head, then pulled it forward. The man was startled, but in the next second, a painful shock struck him.Bam! Song Que drove his knee into the man’s stomach.At the same time, the other opponent’s arm came swinging in. Song Que blocked it with a spinning kick. The kick landed squarely on the man’s face, sending his body spinning several times before he crashed onto the ground.Both of them howled in pain. In just two seconds, they were already lying on the floor.At this moment, Han Nian turned to look at Sai Kun and spoke loudly,“I don’t care whether the Sai Clan is big or small. You’ve annoyed me enough—at the very least, I have to break one of your legs!”

Five representatives from Greenleaf City stepped onto the arena. They looked extremely fierce, filled with older men who could no longer be considered youths. They were around thirty years old and above, some even already reaching forty. Meanwhile, in Green City’s group, Song Que was the youngest and did not appear to possess any strength. He became the one most ridiculed when he stepped up alongside the other four. “Why did Green City bring such a useless person to a competition like this? Are they not taking this seriously, or perhaps they no longer have any fighters left who can represent them?” Comments came one after another from the spectators, as well as from the rows of mayoral seats. Ko Yong, who was accompanied by Hong Soon, only smiled calmly. He knew how Song Que would become a terrifying dark horse. “Let people say whatever they want. What matters is the result!” In the past, he had not been this confident, but now he murmured those words with bold certainty. Mockery

Those who were there were quite surprised by Song Que’s arrival. But it was not a problem—in fact, it made matters easier.The younger brother of Patriarch Sai Ruyan—Sai Kun’s elder brother—was Sai Saiki. He stared at Song Que with a sharp gaze, filled with deep hatred. There were around two hundred people behind him, enough to intimidate the figure standing before them. In his opinion, although Song Que was a genius who could defeat opponents easily in the arena, facing two hundred people at the early Earth King stage at once was impossible.This difference in numbers was the absolute strength of the Sai Clan.“I feel honored by the welcome that the Sai Clan has given me. I knew sooner or later you would come to capture me,” Song Que said with complete confidence. For him, all these people were merely training material to test the limits of how far he could go when fighting many opponents.“You! I wonder what makes you so confident to walk around after killing my younger brother and
