My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1543: The Election Begins!

On the enormous Sealing Altar, it was already a sea of people, so crowded that there wasn’t enough space. Surrounding the entire altar, a semi-circular five-tier grandstand had been built, encircling the central few arenas.

The various people who came here to watch the competition sat on these five-tier stands. This scene was quite reminiscent of the arenas in Ancient Rome.

Right inside the Sealing Altar, however, was the space for the notable figures to observe the battles. Xuanyin Monk sat in the center; he was the host of this Martial Arts gathering.

When Xiao Zheng entered Song Mountain, he was immediately noticed, and then respectfully led to the arena beside the Sealing Altar. There were seats there, very tall and luxurious, even more upscale than the stands where Xuanyin Monk and the others sat.

Before the battle, the eight Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch candidates temporarily sat here.

When Xiao Zheng arrived, Yue You, Copper Stick Long Tao, and other candidates were already present.

Xiao Zheng nodded at them lightly, then sat down, closing his eyes to relax.

Yue You sat beside him, her beautiful eyes blinking with curiosity towards Xiao Zheng. She smiled gently and asked, "Xiao Leng, you seem very calm."

Xiao Zheng kept his eyes closed, ignoring her completely.

With battle approaching, he didn’t want to be distracted.

Yue You felt a bit disappointed, only able to glare angrily at Xiao Zheng, but even so, her expression was full of a captivating allure. Many people, upon witnessing this, couldn’t look away.

Clang!

Suddenly, at that moment, a deep bell rang from the Sealing Altar.

Originally, the more than ten thousand martial artists on the altar were chatting noisily, but as the bell rang, the place quieted down, so silent that breathing could be heard on the expansive altar.

Excitement was subtly visible on everyone’s faces.

They knew the combat was about to commence!

Even Yue You, Copper Stick Long Tao, and the other Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch candidates grew noticeably more solemn, only Xiao Zheng remained calm, with closed eyes.

On the grandstand, Xuanyin Monk saw the audience quiet down, stood up, and revealed a slight smile, saying, "This Martial Arts assembly is unprecedented in Huaxia Martial Arts World history, such a scale can be deemed the largest."

Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly. This Martial Arts assembly saw hundreds of martial forces join, all declaring their allegiance to the future Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch.

These forces ranked among the top in Huaxia Martial Arts World, representing the entire Martial Arts world without question.

Even more surprising, Hushan Sect, Medicine King Valley, Qingcheng Mountain, Kongtong Palace, and the Great Sound Buddha Sect—these five Martial Arts sanctuaries—also joined, agreeing to follow the command and leadership of the future Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch.

Such influence far surpasses those hundreds of martial forces, as the Martial Arts sanctuaries are the foundation of Huaxia Martial Arts World.

Therefore, whoever truly conquers strong foes at this Martial Arts assembly and becomes the Alliance Hierarch will soar to prominence, becoming Huaxia Martial Arts World’s most influential individual!

Far more terrifying than the previous Evil God.

Xuanyin Monk continued, "I believe everyone is eager, so I won’t waste words. Now, announcing the rules."

Everyone held their breath to listen.

Xiao Zheng opened his eyes.

"This time, we have eight candidates for the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch. We will hold three rounds of combat, eliminating four in the first, two in the second, and choosing the Hierarch in the final round."

"As for the opponents, they will be chosen by drawing lots. This iron box contains eight paper slips, each pair having matching numbers. Those who draw matching numbers will be opponents."

With that, Xuanyin Monk brought out an iron box, smiling at Xiao Zheng and the others, saying, "Now, please step forward to challenge your respective opponents."

Xiao Zheng immediately stood up, walked to Xuanyin Monk, and reached into the box, taking out a paper slip with the number one.

The others followed Xiao Zheng, drawing their slips one after another.

Afterward, a disciple from the Great Sound Buddha Sect stepped up, respectfully checked the numbers in their hands, and then announced the matchups.

Xiao Zheng’s opponent turned out to be the woman, Yue You!

Copper Stick Long Tao’s opponent was an elder from Qingcheng Mountain.

Among the remaining four, all were top masters, some from Martial Arts sanctuaries and others top Loose Cultivators with formidable power.

Boom!

The moment the Sealing Altar erupted with buzzing sounds, everyone started talking excitedly.

Which four individuals among these teams will prevail and enter the second round?

Amidst the anticipation, Xuanyin Monk announced the start of the battles. Hearing that, each of the eight candidates jumped onto their respective arenas.

On the arena, Yue You stared at Xiao Zheng, her expression complex, and said, "I didn’t expect you to be my first opponent. Seems my luck isn’t great."

Three days ago, Xiao Zheng’s impressive stance had left an indelible mark on everyone’s hand, universally acknowledged as the most terrifyingly powerful candidate among the eight.

Xiao Zheng smiled lightly and said, "You can choose to concede."

Yue You’s face showed a trace of confidence; she laughed, "Though you’re tough, you might not be my match. I’m quite formidable."

Coming here to compete for Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch naturally requires terrifying strength; Yue You, as a woman, reaching this step is even more fearsome.

Xiao Zheng nodded, "Then let’s start the battle."

Yue You gritted her teeth, a tinge of annoyance towards Xiao Zheng surfacing in her heart. She was a beauty, and due to Martial Arts training, a more enchanting aura enveloped her, charm almost irresistible. But in front of Xiao Zheng, it seemed nothing worked; no matter what she did, he remained calm and composed.

Yue You retorted coldly, "Fine, let’s go!"

Boom Boom!

At that moment, from the nearby arenas, rumbling sounds suddenly erupted, terrifying aura soared into the sky, accompanied by audience exclamations and shouts, evidently the battles on the other three arenas had commenced.

Bam!

Yue You lightly landed on the ground with her toes, her supple but powerful waist swaying like a water snake. Her body then transformed into a dark shadow, gliding across the arena.

In just a moment, Xiao Zheng found himself unable to lock onto her position; her movement technique was too elusive and swift.
