My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1523: Embroidery Needle?

Upon hearing that the Martial Arts Tournament is to begin the day after tomorrow, Xiao Zheng was slightly startled. It seems that the Great Sound Buddha Sect has been plotting this conspiracy for a long time, otherwise, it wouldn’t have proceeded so swiftly.

"Who are the participants? Also, what are the rules of this Martial Arts Tournament?" After some thought, Xiao Zheng asked.

"The rules are quite simple." The Futu leader smiled and said, "The entire Martial Arts Tournament is divided into two stages. The first stage is to select candidates for the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch."

"On the Sealing Altar, the Great Sound Buddha Sect will set up nine arenas. Anyone can go on stage, and as long as one can hold the position from morning until sunset, they succeed. During this process, anyone can challenge the arena master. If they defeat the opponent, they become the master of the arena."

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this and said, "These rules are a bit brutal, unfair to those who act first."

The Futu leader laughed and said, "As for the so-called Martial Arts Tournament, electing the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, not everyone can participate. Those confident enough to run for the position aren’t many. Going in the morning or evening is about the same."

Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "That’s true."

"Speaking of the masters participating in this Martial Arts Tournament," the Futu leader smiled and said, "there are indeed many true experts among them."

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but sneer and said, "During the previous East-West war, few of these experts acted. Now that they’re vying for the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, they’re all jumping out."

The Futu leader said, "That’s all thanks to you. Your battle directly ignited the courage in the entire Huaxia, and from another perspective, it also fueled many people’s ambitions and desires. Many hope to be like you, the backbone of Huaxia, cheered by thousands."

Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "That’s not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes the burden is so heavy it almost crushes oneself."

The Futu leader laughed and said, "But others won’t think like that. People always see the glory, not the hardships behind the glory."

Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "Let’s not discuss this, tell me about those experts."

The Futu leader said, "The first noteworthy person is the Flying Swordsman. Legend has it that he has a thin, sharp, and fast sword, and he always strikes with just one move, which no one can dodge."

Xiao Zheng’s eyes flickered with surprise and said, "I’ve heard about this person before — it’s said that he once killed the Sect Master of the Sword Dao faction Qingshan Sect with one strike and then retreated unscathed."

The Qingshan Sect, within the Huaxia Martial Arts World, is a first-rate martial arts power second only to the eight major Martial Saint places; its strength is formidable, not something ordinary people can contend with.

"Indeed," the Futu leader nodded and said. "And that was just a small incident from when he was young. Now, decades later, no one knows to what extent his swordsmanship has reached."

Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "Hearing you say this, I’m somewhat anticipating the Martial Arts Tournament; it seems I’ll be able to see many formidable figures."

The Futu leader shook his head and said, "How many among them can compare to a monster like you?"

Xiao Zheng merely smiled.

The Futu leader continued, "The second noteworthy person is called Tu Lanhua. It’s a woman’s name, but he’s a man. Moreover, his attacking methods are chilling, for he uses embroidery needles!"

Xiao Zheng was a bit astonished and said, "Embroidery needles?"

"Yes!"

The Futu leader nodded and said, "Tu Lanhua’s skill with embroidery needles has reached a transcendent level. A needle as thin as a cow’s hair, under his hand, can easily pierce steel!"

"Interesting." Xiao Zheng evaluated, "Then who is the third person?"

"The third noteworthy person is called Copper Stick Long Tao. His weapon is a thick copper stick. The copper stick is not ordinary, rumored to have been obtained by Long Tao in an ancient relic, powerful enough to let one exert strength far beyond one’s level," the Futu leader said, with a slight seriousness on his face.

"He is indeed someone worth noting." Xiao Zheng nodded.

Ancient relics.

These four words carry immense power within the Martial Arts World; anything emerging from ancient relics, if usable, possesses vast power.

Previously, in the war between Xiao Zheng and the Demon Shield Bureau, the Red Giant became so powerful because of mysterious genes merged from an ancient relic. The final self-destruction even injured the Evil God at that time!

The lance Kun Gu Ni’er in Xiao Zheng’s hand, capable of nullifying all technological weapons, was also excavated from an ancient relic. But Xiao Zheng even saw a giant dragon in that ancient relic!

"Are there others?" Xiao Zheng asked.

The Futu leader said, "Of course, there are. The above three are all loose cultivators; they might already be strong among the Martial Saints."

"The rest mostly come from some ancient sects, and there are even hidden elders from the Martial Saint places."

"Oh?" Xiao Zheng showed an interested expression.

The Futu leader said, "For example, Sword King Han Jun of the Divine Saber Hall, Fairy Yue You of the Dongling Sect, Immortal Bai Hu of the East Sea Fangzhang Immortal Island, and even hidden elder Zhou Yuan from the Hushan Sect, hidden elder Qi Yue from the Medicine King Valley, and so on."

Hearing these names, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but shake his head and said, "Since these people dare to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament, I think they should all possess Martial Saint Level combat power. I didn’t expect Huaxia to have so many experts."

The Futu leader heard the sarcasm in Xiao Zheng’s words, smiled slightly, and asked, "How do you plan to disrupt this Martial Arts Tournament?"

Xiao Zheng’s eyes narrowed, a cold gleam flickering within them, and he said, "Doesn’t the Great Sound Buddha Sect want to elect a Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch to control the Huaxia Martial Arts World? In that case, I’ll take on the role of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch."

The Futu leader asked surprisedly, "Are you going to be the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch?"

Xiao Zheng nodded, "Yes."

The Futu leader laughed and said, "Now this is interesting. But how will you deal with your identity?"

Xiao Zheng laughed and said, ’At that time, using some small tricks to hide my real face should be enough, right? Huaxia is so large, no one can know everyone. Isn’t it normal for a new martial arts expert to suddenly appear?’

The Futu leader took a sip of tea, looked in the direction of Taishan Sealing Platform, and smiled leisurely, "Now I’m really a bit looking forward to that Martial Arts Tournament."
