Chapter 441: The League And The First Victory

"I think you would understand what I mean." Liu Rou looked at Chen Heng with a solemn expression as she spoke.

Chen Heng naturally understood what she meant. To obtain a good treatment for Chen Heng, Liu Rou had previously been under a lot of pressure. The Black Dream Group wouldn't invest for no other reason, and it would be even more impossible for them to do charity. Instead, they needed to obtain sufficient profit.

Therefore, Liu Rou would be under great pressure. If Chen Heng's performance were not outstanding enough, others would most likely question her within the Black Dream Group.

Therefore, this league was important to Chen Heng and Liu Rou. To a certain extent, in this league, Liu Rou was more concerned about the final result than Chen Heng. After all, if Chen Heng lost this league, it's not a big deal to come again next time. At most, he wouldn't be as admirable as before.

However, for Liu Rou, the outcome might be even grimmer. Hence, she spoke to Chen Heng about it.

"I understand."

Hearing Liu Rou's words, Chen Heng smiled and nodded without saying anything. He naturally knew what Liu Rou said, but he didn't care too much.

Liu Rou's request wasn't too high to achieve. If she wanted Chen Heng to win this league and become the ultimate victor, naturally, Chen Heng couldn't do it.

However, if she only expected him to win a match or two to prove his strength, Chen Heng was still confident that he could do it. After all, it was not too difficult for him to achieve it with his current strength.

After such a long period of healing and recovery, Chen Heng's strength improved and reached a higher level. If converted to the standard of the world of G.o.ds, the current Chen Heng could be a Third Ring. As for this world, he did not know what level he was.

Usually, Chen Heng came into contact with the strongest experts from the academy. Qi Lin and Yang Ke were at the top, yet, they were nothing in Chen Heng's hands.

He had no idea what level his current strength was in this world, but it didn't matter. Even if he couldn't achieve any outstanding results, winning a match or two shouldn't be a problem. He smiled and nodded, then he left, walking to the side.

In the next few days, everything was peaceful. Chen Heng did not go out during this period as the compet.i.tion was about to start. Instead, he did not do much, just hid in his room to rest.

Time pa.s.sed slowly. The day of the league finally came.

"Please come in."

Chen Heng sat on the sofa quietly in the quiet room and said casually as he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside. Soon, the door was opened, and a woman walked in. It was none other than Liu Rou.

Her face was a bit sour compared to before. She used to be in high spirits, but her state of energy seemed to change a little, and she looked exhausted now.

"I have some bad news that I need to inform you at the last minute..."

She walked into Chen Heng's room and looked at Chen Heng before sighing deeply, "The match details were released. I've found out the ident.i.ty of your opponent."

"From the looks of it, it should be very tricky?"

Chen Heng revealed a surprised expression while looking at Liu Rou before speaking softly. "Yes."

Liu Rou nodded and said directly, "The student that the other party, Storm Group invested in seems to be your senior And he's powerful. He held a record of defeating three second-ranked martial artists in a head-on fight. His strength should be the top among second-ranked martial artists."

She looked at Chen Heng in front of her and added, "He's a formidable opponent, and his strength is much stronger than Rui Te, whom you had defeated before...."

She seemed to be in a bad mood, as she initially thought that Chen Heng would only be encountering an ordinary opponent this time. She did not expect him to meet such a ruthless character.

Without a doubt, the other party was very outstanding, even among the many contestants. He could be a strong opponent, so Liu Rou's mood was somewhat heavy.

Listening to Liu Rou's words, Chen Heng was silent for a moment, then he nodded, "I got it."

The strength of a second-ranked martial artist was already very outstanding among the martial artists of this world. Even if it was converted to the World of G.o.ds, it was comparable to a First Ring Knight.

According to Liu Rou, the other party's strength was definitely at its peak among the second rank martial artist, far above that of an ordinary second rank martial artist. This level of strength was probably comparable to a Second Ring Knight.

Even within the Dragon City Academy, there were only very few such figures, which was pretty good.

Of course, for Chen Heng, that's actually what it was. His current strength had already reached the third rank.

It didn't matter whether this person's strength who was about to face him head-to-head was at the first or second rank.

"I understand."

Chen Heng nodded and said, "I'll pay attention."

Liu Rou wanted to say something, but in the end, she held it in, sighed, and said, "Be careful. If you really can't do it, then just lose. No matter what, you are the most important one."

"Yes, I know."

A smile appeared on Chen Heng's face, and he wanted to continue saying something, but sounds were coming from the outside world. Chen Heng was stunned, then he reacted, "It seems that I should go up."

He said softly, and then he walked forward. Behind him, Liu Rou watched Chen Heng slowly walking out and could not help but sigh. Her expression became extremely complicated, and she did not know what to say.

Outside, the stage was up, and everything was ready. The island in front of them was huge, but the venue for the compet.i.tion was completely enclosed.

Many instruments were scrutinized, wanting to capture every detail and every movement of the match and then transcribe it.

Outside, the commentators and people from the television stations were also ready, just waiting for the match to start.

The Qika League was a tournament with the highest standard of rules and took place every once. Everything in this league would be reported to the outside world in real-time through various forms and broadcast to outer s.p.a.ce. Countless people were watching this program live, including the few planets nearby.

This was also why this tournament had such a high standard of rules. When one achieved a good ranking in this tournament, one could have everything, including wealth, reputation, or other things. The prerequisite was that one had to achieve a good result in this tournament, which was very difficult.

This tournament was different from the others. Those who could partic.i.p.ate in this tournament were undoubtedly true geniuses. Even the most elemental ones, those who were here as extras were rare geniuses in their respective places. Hence, one could imagine how difficult it was to achieve a good result and stand out among such a group of people. This was undoubtedly extremely difficult.

Walking out of the room, Chen Heng soon arrived at the arena. People were waiting for him there. Chen Heng finally saw his opponent, a valiant and burly-looking young man. He looked tall and had an inexplicable majesty at a glance that was soul-stirring and frightening. It's like seeing a ferocious tiger, which was exceptionally terrifying.

Chen Heng walked into the arena and met him. As if sensing Chen Heng's arrival, the young man slowly opened his eyes and stared sharply at Chen Heng as if he was thinking about something. At first glance, there was a hint of surprise on his face.

'He is so young.'

The Qika League was originally a league held for youth, competing with the strength of the younger generation. According to the rules, only youth under the age of 25 could partic.i.p.ate.

But even so, Chen Heng still looked a little too young in front of him, at most 16 or 17 years old. This age still made people feel a little young even within this tournament.

'Is he a young genius?'

The youth looked at Chen Heng, but the thought in his mind gradually dissipated. His whole mind slowly concentrated and became the only a.s.sembly, like a longsword that was about to fall off and leave his body. Without a doubt, this was a sign that he was about to make a move.

Even though Chen Heng looked very young, it was clear that the young man did not have the slightest intention to slacken. Age could not represent everything, and going all out was the best way to achieve victory.

Therefore, he did not have the slightest hesitation, nor was he confused by Chen Heng's youth. He focused his mind and prepared to make his move with all his might.

However, compared to the young man, Chen Heng looked very calm. He stood on the ground and silently looked at the other party. The surrounding lights were flickering and were exceptionally bright and beautiful.

They were in the enclosed arena, but at a glance, it was as if they were still in the outside world. There was not much difference.

As time pa.s.sed, the important match officially began. When the sound came from afar, both figures pa.s.sed by simultaneously, leaving an afterimage on the spot.

Bang!
