Chapter 169 Martial Arts Conference 2

As soon as they heard that it was a group battle, the people in the warrior village began to talk about it again, and their minds were full of questions. Why did they have to fight collectively in terms of martial arts? Isn't this a personal test of martial arts attainments?

At this time, Mikal jumped out and explained to everyone as an expert proficient in this aspect:

"When everyone is quiet, let Mr. Mikal and I give you a round of lessons to explain why this martial arts conference has been changed to a five-person team-style martial arts competition."

"In fact, this is also my hearsay, but according to my understanding, it is probably right. First of all, let me tell you a sad news. In fact, with the passage of time, the original intention of this martial arts conference conceived by the founding emperor was indeed very good. However, just like the current kingdom, it has gradually been corrupted.

"In each session, the enthusiasm of the warriors is still the same, but unfortunately, this has gradually become a money-making tool for the people behind the scenes. Gambling, take every game as gambling, which is the way for the bigwigs behind the scenes to make profits. Although the organizer is the kingdom, for today's kingdom, it can be said to be full of the dark curtain of collusion between officials and businessmen and the trading of power and money. Secretly, there is a large organization in which acts as a banker and openly promotes gambling methods in the competition venue.

"Open odds for the two sides of each competition, take the victory or defeat of the martial artists on the field to gamble, and attract the people and merchants who come here to watch the battle to bet. The game was hot, and the people off the field were enthusiastic about gambling. In this way, a martial arts conference gradually turned into a gambling conference.

"Everyone present knows that in gambling, the other party has been preconceived for a long time. Most of the winners are experts, and most of them lose are ordinary people like us. A large amount of money has flowed into the other party's pocket. However, they are quite greedy, and even in some major bets, they will use despicable means to win one side. Alas, if only I had known it. Poor four years ago, I lost all the money for marrying a wife in the future.

Everyone was speechless: "..."

Mikal continued: "Oh, it's better to return to the topic. Due to the existence of behind-the-scenes, in most cases, they are often unpopular, and even the people who finally won the championship are not as good as us. However, this situation has changed dramatically in the session eight years ago.

"Eight years ago, martial arts competitions were still held in the form of individuals, and at that time, four of the people who signed up to participate rewrote the history of that martial arts conference. One of them is the person we just mentioned - the Void of the God of War.

"In fact, the 'God of War' Void is not his name. The name 'God of War' was personally granted by Emperor Hiloken, and the name of the Void was changed by himself. Wushen Void's real name Wang Yuanlong, his brother Wang Yuanhu, and their two apprentices participated in the martial arts conference together that year.

"The four of them swept the martial arts conference with unparalleled force. In each competition, only one move was used. No, it was so fast that people couldn't see how many moves were made. Their opponents were all knocked to the ground and could no longer stand up. Therefore, the gambling is a one-sided betting situation. No matter how low the odds offered by the organization behind them, no one has bet on them at all. As a result, the behind-the-scenes organization kept losing money.

"The many framings of the organization behind the scenes are useless. So this result lasted until the end, and it was very smooth. The top four were completely handled by the four of them. And it has always been the last few decisive battles with the most gambling money, but because the four of them are together, there is no need to fight, and the other person who is not as powerful as the other party will automatically admit defeat. As a result, in the final battle, the younger brother admitted defeat and gave it to his brother.

"Everyone expected this result, so almost everyone bet to win, and the organization behind the scenes suffered a big loss. Whoo-hoo, why was I just 12 years old that year? I didn't have any money at all. I missed such a good opportunity for nothing, woo-woo."

Everyone was speechless again: "..."

Mikal became more and more energetic: "So, in order to avoid such a big loss of money again, with the intervention of the organization behind the scenes, as a result, new rules appeared at the new martial arts conference four years later, which is the way of five-person team warfare. No matter how strong you are, what's the use? If you win three times in five games, you will be dragged back by your teammates and still have to be eliminated. As a result, that year, when the two disciples of Wushen Void wanted to participate again, they were not qualified and did not have the last session because there were only two people.

"After that, the result can be imagined. In this way, the winning and losing factors of the team game become much more complicated, resulting in frequent surprises. The originally recognized strong people can often only be eliminated with a record of one win and three losses. However, in this way, for the martial arts competition, the competition between the two sides became more wonderful and fierce, and for those audiences, they had no problem with it. Instead, they were happier with this form of martial arts competition. As a result, that year, the behind-the-scenes organization made a profit. Whoo, I lost... It's really sad. It's completely turned into a conference for entertainment and gambling.

After listening to Mikal's great explanation, the popularity of the people dropped, especially the people in the warrior village, who actually stained the sacred martial arts competition into a pastime for others to gamble. They were very dissatisfied and angry about this.

However, Sis thought it was good, so he put forward his opinion: "That's good. There is such a possibility that we can smoothly enter and exit the imperial city. There is indeed a value of a trial. Seeing that the momentum is not good, we can also directly abstain from defeat and leave, which is also nothing to us."

"It seems that this is the only way at present, so let's take this martial arts conference as an opportunity to sneak into the imperial city and go all out. We should show the world the true demeanor and pride that martial artists should have. We will not succumb to those evil people who manipulate everything behind their backs. We should correct the real martial arts conference with our own fists. In fact, Ai Wen was also very dissatisfied with this kind of dirty martial arts conference early in the morning.

The people on the field shouted in unison.

"Hahaha, that's right. Since everyone has agreed, we will arrange our must-win lineup, group our five most powerful people together, and go to the martial arts conference together!" Mikal finally reached the most critical point.
