So they could only tell their disciples that as long as they were not the last one, it would be alright.

Pei Moning was discussing with Li Shan and other disciples of Jianghu Martial Club. After two sets, he had found out the weak points of the disciples of Weizhen Martial Club.

The martial skills of Weizhen Martial Club's disciples were tough and fierce. Other disciples would be affected by their aura more or less.

So, Pei Moning told them, "The disciples of Weizhen Martial Club have real abilities. Why we won the second set is because they are too arrogant. Their master will make an adjustment for this, but we don't have to be worried."

"Have you thought of the solution, master?" Li Shan asked.

Pei Moning nodded. He continued, "In the following competition, you make feints and attack them in somewhere else to disrupt them. As for other martial clubs, pay more attention to Huize Martial Club and just treat other martial clubs with your usual performance."

They nodded at Pei Moning's advice.

Yu Zhen, the owner of Weizhen Martial Club, went to his disciples with a bad look. The disciples who lost the second set lowered their heads.

Yu Zhen said, "I think you all know why I hold this competition. I want to expand Weizhen Martial Club and let them know our martial club is the best martial club. However, you fought against each other on the stage and were defeated by a martial club that was established less than a year ago."

Yu Zhen raised his voice.

He calmed down and continued, "The following set is the last one. You six must be serious about it anyway. If you lost, we will lose Weizhen Martial Club's reputation as well as our mental cultivation methods."

"Please rest assured, master. We won't hand our mental cultivation methods to others!" Xiao Ce said.

The other five disciples nodded.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, Shen Ping struck the gong again and took the lot pot.

Each martial club drew a lot. If a disciple drew his club, put the lot back and drew again.

Each disciple looked at his lot and handed it to Shen Ping.

Shen Ping looked at their lots and announced, "Jianghu Martial Club versus Xiaoyao Martial Club, Huize Martial Club versus Baisheng Martial Club, and Weizhen Martial Club versus Canglan Martial Club."

Shen Ping added, "There are a lot of participants this time, so three matches will be held one by one."

"Who's first?" Shen Ping turned around to ask them.

"We'll be the first!" Xiao Ce of Weizhen Martial Club replied.

Disciples of Canglan Martial Club kept silent.

Xiao Ce looked at the disciples of Canglan Martial Club and jeered, "You're afraid of us, aren't you?"

"You... we're not!" Canglan Martial Club's disciple hurriedly refuted Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce glanced at them and said, "Well, come on."

"Just wait and see." Canglan Martial Club's disciple replied.

They hated to see Xiao Ce's insolent face.

Xiao Ce turned around and spoke to Shen Ping, "Junior master, we are the first."

"Fine. The first round is Canglan Martial Club versus Weizhen Martial Club. Participants of other martial clubs please watch under the stage." Shen Ping said.

In the first round, Weizhen Martial Club won.

The next round was between Huize Martial Club and Baisheng Martial Club. Some people remembered that An Ze of Huize Martial Club suffered a blow of Xiao Ce in the first set, but now his inner strength didn't seem to be affected.

They threw doubt on it. Even Xiao Ce frowned and thought it shouldn't be like this.

When they were wondering, Huize Martial Club was declared the winner. When the Huize Martial Club's disciples went off the stage, Xiao Ce gave An Ze a good look. He felt like there was something wrong.

The last round was between Xiaoyao Martial Club and Jianghu Martial Club.

The winner was well-coordinated disciples of Jianghu Martial Club. Disciples of Xiaoyao Martial Club were sincerely convinced.

Now, there were disciples of three martial clubs on the stage: Jianghu Martial Club, Huize Martial Club, and Weizhen Martial Club.

Shen Ping went forward, "Now, you three draw lots, and one martial club will be given a bye."

He shook the lot pot. They drew the lots. Jianghu Martial Club was given the bye and the next competition was between Weizhen Martial Club and Huize Martial Club.

Xiao Ce went against An Ze at the beginning of this round. Xiao Ce thought that An Ze could not bear his blow and last out till now.

After a few exchanges of blows, Xiao Ce was more confused. He felt like An Ze wasn't an injured person and was more difficult to deal with.

So he used tough movements. Before long, he found An Ze paused for a moment. Xiao Ce caught this chance and gave An Ze a hard kick.

An Ze was kicked off the stage and his sword was thrown away in an arc.

The owner of Huize Martial Club hurriedly ran to him. "An Ze."

"Big brother, are you alright?" The rest of the disciples of Huize martial club rounded up.

An Ze said, "I'm... alright. Master, sorry, I've shamed you..."

He spat a mouthful of blood before he had finished speaking.

When An Ze was on the stage, the pill wore off.

Other people also stood up to have a look at An Ze.

Some people who were disdained Weizhen Martial Club said, "The disciple of Weizhen Martial Club is too fierce. It's so unkind of Xiao Ce to do so. Was he going to kill An Ze?"

"Yes, every movement of Xiao Ce targeted at his opponent's vital part on the body."

"What a shitty way to treat his opponents! It seems that Young Master An is badly hurt."

Everybody was talking about it.

Yu Zhen's face turned grey. He looked at Xiao Ce, secretly cursing, "Xiao Ce is so stupid that he never knows what's important!"

Yu Zhen had to get up and went to Huize Martial Club's crowd to show his concern, "What's the matter with An Ze? Has he hurt any vital parts?"

"Thank you for your concern." The owner of Huize Martial Club said. He turned to the disciples behind and said,

"Go and help An Ze away. Help him regulate his inner strength."

"Yes, master." The disciples answered and one of them carried An Ze on the back.

Yu Zhen said, "Your disciple suffered a bad injury. I'd like to fetch a doctor for him. What do you think?"

"I appreciate your kindness. He was injured because he is not good enough to win. His senior and junior fellow apprentices will help him regulate his inner strength. There's no need to bother you, Mr. Yu." The owner of Huize Martial Club replied.

He could not call a doctor for An Ze. Although the pill had worn off, its side effect was obvious. If other martial clubs knew that Huize Martial Club cheated in the competition, it would be extremely embarrassing.

Yu Zhen smiled, "That's no bother. You can always call me if you need anything."

"Thank you, Mr. Yu." The owner of Huize Martial Club saluted Yu Zhen.

After that, Elder Yan and Elder Hua declared the victory of Weizhen Martial Club.

Xiao Ce's complacency provoked other martial clubs' repugnance.

Shen Ping said, "The last round of the third set begins."

After Shen Ping spoke, disciples of Weizhen Martial Club including Xiao Ce looked at Li Shan and his teammates with disdain, as if they were sure to be the winner.

Xiao Ce went to Li Shan and lifter his mouth corner, "Come on, Young Master Li."

Li Shan smiled at Xiao Ce and drew his sword.

After several exchanges of blows, Xiao Ce and his junior fellow apprentices were caught flat-footed by Jianghu Martial Club's formation.

One disciple had just chosen his opponent and in the next moment, another person rushed over and overset his plan.

Fifteen minutes had passed. Disciples of Weizhen Martial Club were anxious.

Li Shan signed to other teammates and they began to fight with all their energies.

As they had expected, affected by their former performance, disciples of Weizhen Martial Club were about to prepare for their sudden jumping out, however, disciples of Jianghu Martial Club changed their ways. Disciples of Weizhen Martial Club were caught off guard.

Li Shan seized the chance and kicked Xiao Ce. Before Xiao Ce made a reaction, he had been kicked back forward a few steps by Li Shan.

When he was going to fight back, he found his teammates had all fallen into Jianghu Martial Club's trap.

Xiao Ce couldn't believe this. His team was defeated by a newly-established team. Thinking of the price they had to pay, Xiao Ce yelled, "This round doesn't count! Jianghu Martial Club cheated!"

"Young Master Xiao, you are out of reason. The rules didn't mention that we can't scheme. War allows deceit." Li Shan glanced at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce yelled more loudly, "That's your sophistry!"

"Sophistry? You can't afford to lose, do you?" Li Shan refuted.

Xiao Ce was provoked. He howled, "What do you think you are? This is Weizhen Martial Club. There's no place for you to throw your weight around."

The audience under the stage looked at Yu Zhen.

Pei Moning went over to Yu Zhen, "Mr. Yu, could you announce the result of the competition?"

Yu Zhen's face blushed with embarrassment.

"Mr. Pei. We admit the defeat." He went to the stage.

He went directly to Elder Yan and Elder Hua, "Elder Yan, Elder Hua, please announce the result of the competition."

"Fine." Elder Hua nodded.

They got up from the chairs and went to the front of the stage, speaking aloud, "Today, each martial club has taken part in the competition in State Bin. Jianghu Martial Club won two sets in the three sets of competition. The winner is Jianghu Martial Club!"

"Master, we can't..." Xiao Ce anxiously called Yu Zhen.

Yu Zhen looked at him with disappointment and anger. He shouted, "What a disgrace you are! Go down the stage!"

For fear of Yu Zhen's anger, disciples of Weizhen Martial Club pulled Xiao Ce and went off the stage.

"Mr. Shen, go and get our mental cultivation methods." Yu Zhen adjusted his mood and asked Shen Ping aside.

Shen Ping slightly frowned but obeyed his order.

In a few minutes, Shen Ping reappeared with a book, the unique mental cultivation methods of Weizhen Martial Club.
