() Capital Guards Military Academy.

In the afternoon, the west side of the school field was crowded with people. Nearly 500 guards maintained order throughout the school grounds. Compared with the morning, there were not a few dignitaries from various countries, but the audience watching the battle was more than double, and the whole scene was lively and chaotic.

At this moment, seven or eight competitions have been held on the four wooden platforms, and the battle situation on the stage is tense and exciting, and the applause and curses of the audience are even higher and higher. The applause is naturally thought to be a wonderful trick by the players on the stage, while the swearing is made by the person who lost the bet because of the gambling money.

Ten days before the start of the conference, the two major business groups in the Carol Kingdom, the Li family and the Bai family, jointly opened the winning and losing rates of each contestant, and there were many patterns. There is a companionship rate for the final winner, and there is also a companionship rate for the winner or loser of each competition. For a time, it attracted a large number of gamblers to participate.

According to the report sent by the second uncle Li Qiu yesterday, the funds involved in the gambling game this time are enough to 10 million silver coins.

This number really scared Li Yuxuan. You must know that one gold coin is enough for a month's living expenses for a family of three, and even a giant merchant family like the Li family has a commercial income of only 300,000 gold coins a year. And the amount of money involved in the gambling game this time is almost the income of the Li Mansion for nearly three years. According to preliminary estimates, both the Li and Bai clans could earn about 200,000 or 300,000 gold coins from it this time. It can be said that the biggest winners of this conference should be the two major business families of the Carol Kingdom.

And Li Yuxuan and the three of them were also mixed in the audience at the moment, looking at the tables of the contestants on the stage. Not far from them, another teenager of about the same age was also watching every move on the competition platform with full attention. This person is none other than Zhao Ling, the imperial brother of the Heavenly Dragon Empire and the head of the Third Knights of the Empire.

At this moment, in a ring on the left, an eight-foot-tall giant man wielded a long-handled copper hammer with both hands, forcing a handsome young man with a rather thin body to the corner of the ring, and he was about to be forced off the ring. It was at the moment when the giant man used all his strength to sweep the young man's waist. The young man unexpectedly flew up, breaking through the hammer shadow of the giant man at once, and landed behind the giant man instead. The giant man was shocked to find that he had lost the trace of his opponent in front of him, and hurriedly withdrew the copper hammer to protect his whole body. But it was too late, and a sharp long sword pierced through the heavy hammer shadow and rested on the giant man's neck.

"Dangchang!"

The copper hammer in the giant man's hand fell to the ground, his face was gray, and he turned around and stepped down the wooden platform. The referee on one side stepped up and announced the handsome boy as the winner.

Soon, another competition kicked off.

There is no chance for Li Yuxuan and the three of them to get off the field today, so the three of them can watch the martial arts competition on the stage in the crowd so leisurely. In fact, today they all noticed that many of the players who had not been scheduled to play today were also mixed in the crowd, concentrating on observing the martial arts moves and routines of the contestants.

As the afternoon passed, sixteen competitions were held on each of the four wooden platforms, and a total of 64 contestants were determined to advance to the next round.

Just when the audience on the school field withdrew one after another, Li Yuxuan and the three of them were already sitting in the Xuantian Pavilion of the Li Mansion, leisurely tasting the best Longjing that had just been shipped from the East yesterday. For a while, the fragrance of tea overflowed the entire Xuantian Pavilion, and the three of them were immersed in a distant and mysterious atmosphere of oriental classics.

"Tang Xu, did you notice anything in the school field today, or did something catch your attention?"

Li Yuxuan put down the oriental tea set in his hand, paced to the window, turned his back to the two behind him, and broke the silence first.

"Boss, you should know that the only thing that can catch my attention is such a lively scene! ”

"Really, let's talk about it!"

Li Yuxuan's face facing the sunset outside the window showed an expectant expression.

"When we first entered the school field, I always felt weird about the competition between the giant man with the copper hammer in the ring on the left and the handsome young man. Tang Xu looked pensive, and said to himself.

"Really?"

Although Li Yuxuan didn't have any special expression on his face, his tone showed that this was not the answer he wanted.

Li Yuyang, who was sitting on the other side at the moment, interjected.

"Boss, I don't know what happened today, from the moment I entered the school until we left just now, I had a very strange feeling. In the school grounds, even though it was very noisy and crowded, I felt like my surroundings were quiet several times, and it seemed as if I was the only one left in the whole school grounds. Li Yuyang looked puzzled after speaking.

That's not right!

Li Yuxuan withdrew his gaze from a distance, turned around and paced back to his position, and when he passed by Tang Xu's side, he inadvertently glanced at his old friend who was looking down and contemplating.

Tang Xu has always been more sensitive, and his martial arts cultivation has always been half a step higher than Li Yuyang. Today, even Li Yuyang felt the abnormality of the surrounding atmosphere, there was no reason why he couldn't feel it. Something must have distracted him.

Li Yuxuan thought so, but he didn't stop talking to his younger brother.

"Does that feeling make you feel uneasy, even dangerous?"

Li Yuyang stared at Li Yuxuan's back, and his surprised eyes showed that what he said was not bad.

"That's because someone noticed us, or we got that person's attention. There was an inexplicable excitement in Li Yuxuan's tone.

"Who?"

Short and crisp, Li Yuyang undoubtedly had a trace of fear and uneasiness in his heart at the moment. Even Tang Xu, who was meditating alone on the side, noticed the uneasiness in his tone and came back to his senses. At first glance, I saw the uneasy look on Li Yuyang's face and the cold smile on Li Yuxuan's face.

Tang Xu's first feeling was to sue himself, there must be something wrong. According to his previous experience, every time this kind of cold smile appeared on Li Yuxuan's face, it meant that someone or something caused the innate competitive nature in his personality.

"He watched us three times, and each time when I sensed something was wrong and searched for his gaze, he hid his whereabouts with the help of the clutter around him. But I believe that he is not a hunting dog that stalks, but a tiger who chooses to devour people, agile and aggressive. ”

"Why?" Tang Xu's interest at the moment also began to shift to the conversation between the two Li Yuxuan brothers.

"Because every time he looks at us, I don't feel any sense of being spied on, but vaguely aware of the momentum in his eyes!"
