Chapter 1411


    Fade wouldn''t call him that. It was inappropriate to address an elder by his name. Instead, he


    thanked him with a smile, "Thank you for your help before, Master Zhu."


    Galeno said, "Well, kid, since you refuse to call me that, then I''ll not force you to. By the way, how''s


    your preparation for the Martial Arts Convention? How confident are you in winning?"


    "Not too bad," Fade smirked as he replied.


    "Not too bad," Galeno repeated what Fade said andughed heartily, "You sound confident. I am


    looking forward to seeing you take the crown home!"


    Someone snorted from behind and said, "Winning is not easy!"


    Everyone shifted their attention towards the voice. A man in his sixties swaggered towards them


    with both hands behind his back. He had a smug look. He wore a green robe, and the edges of it


    fluttered in the air as he moved.


    Several young men stood behind him. Among the leaders of the group were Faxon and Leighton.


    Fade''s eyebrows raised in amusement as he recalled their recent fight.


    Lucille muttered to Fade, "Mr. Chen, that man over there is Cannon Shao. He''s a senior official of


    the Martial Arts League, but he often disagrees with my master. By the way, he is also Leighton and


    Faxon''s master."


    Fade narrowed his eyes as he nodded. He finally understood why Cannon and his people were so


    hostile towards them.


    "Winning is not easy. However, I have faith in Fade," Galeno squinted his eyes at Cannon and said.


    The corner of Cannon''s mouth curled upward when he heard that, "Is that so?"


    Then, he took a step forward and leaned towards Fade, "So you''re Fade Chen? I have heard so


    much about you from Leighton and Faxon."


    "Really?" Fade replied faintly, keeping his face neutral.


    However, he seemed arrogant to Cannon.


    Leighton and Faxon quickly stepped forward and red at him disdainfully. They couldn''t be


    bothered to hide their resentment towards him.


    "I haven''t got to kick your a*s for bullying my brother thest time. Just you wait this time," Leighton


    shot daggers at him as he threatened him.


    Fade didn''t flinch, "Are you talking about the time I broke Thomson''s legs? Well, bring it!" He replied


    calmly.


    "You..." Leighton was on the verge of attacking him.


    Lucille, who was watching silently at the side, suddenly stood up and defended Fade, "Leighton,


    what are you doing? Are you nning to start a fight with Fade in front of my master?"


    He paused when he heard Lucille''s warning. Galeno was a powerful man, and Lucille was


    comparable, so he did not dare to act recklessly in front of them. He red at Fade and stepped


    back.


    At this moment, Frodo stepped forward to warn Leighton, "We are here for the Martial Arts


    Convention. If you have any disagreements, settle them outside."


    Leighton snorted angrily, but he didn''t say a word.


    Faxon moved beside Leighton. His gaze shifted from Hoce, Lucille and finally fell on Fade. "They


    can protect you for now, but they can''t protect you forever," he seethed.


    "I don''t need anyone''s protection," Fade retorted.


    "Really? Just you wait," Faxon sneered. "I will never forget what happened at the auction."


    "Then don''t forget it. Well encounter situations like that in the future," Fade replied.


    Faxon''s expressions turned dark. He red at Fade and snarled, "Aren''t you a piece of work..."


    His energy erupted from his core instantly. He was about to attack Fade.


    Galeno snorted and warned, "Thepetition hasn''t started yet. What are you doing?"


    He let out a powerful wave of energy, and it crushed Faxon effortlessly. Clenching his teeth, Faxon''s


    face turned white from exertion.


    Cannon immediately stepped forward as he saw Faxon''s terrified expression.


    Attempting to rescue Faxon, he forced an equally strong wave of energy and went against Galeno.


    "Old Zhu, there''s nothing to be proud of for attacking someone less than you," Cannon eximed.


    Galeno replied with a low voice, "He is a disciple of the Martial Arts League. It is my responsibility to


    teach him a lesson if he does something inappropriate."


    "Whatever Faxon did wrong, I''ll teach him myself because I''m his master. You don''t have to worry


    about him," Cannon defended.


    "I''m worried that you won''t teach them well."


    "Ugh..." Cannon''s face darkened, and a look of anger painted across his face.


    The tension between the two masters grew as they stared at each other intently. Just then, the


    sound of loud drums interrupted them, followed by a clear voice announcing, "Wee to the


    Martial Arts Convention opening ceremony!"


    Rustling sounds filled the scene as everyone scrambled to take their seats. Their gazes were


    focused on the fighting ring in the center of theke.


    The host didn''t use a microphone. He projected with his natural, resonant voice. His voice was as


    deep as thunder, and it spread throughout the venue.


    The host quickly introduced what the Martial Arts Convention was about. Then, he exined the


    rules of thepetition before announcing the rewards.


    The guests were familiar with this information. They lost interest in his speech and began to murmur


    amongst each other.


    Of course, they were discussing the conflict between the two Martial Arts League masters, Galeno


    and Cannon.


    At the same time, Halge and the group were also talking about the incident enthusiastically.


    However, they were more interested in Fade.


    "No wonder Fade was so arrogant. Apparently, he


    has Galeno backing him."


    "Perhaps it was Master Zhu who helped him toe in first on the Dragon List! Otherwise, how


    could a nobody suddenly appear first on it?"


    "Even if he really has the ability and strength to be number one, who cares? Now that he has


    offended Leighton and Faxon, he will definitely suffer the consequences."


    "That''s for sure. Leighton is eleventh on the Dragon List, and Faxon is second. Both of them are


    very powerful."


    "Naha! Let''s see if he dares to be this arrogant when thepetition begins!"


    Tom was annoyed by what they were discussing, but he wasn''t in the mood to defend his views or


    refute their ims. At this moment, all he could worry about was Fade''s odds of winning. Faxon and


    Leighton were both reputable martial artists. Even if Fade ranked first on Dragon List, it would be


    challenging for him to fight against them.

    Besides, it looked like Fade had formed a wedge with the two. Now that they despised him, they


    would not hesitate to fight dirty. When the timees, he could end up badly injured, or even


    disabled.


    Besides, this was the Martial Arts Convention, not a performance. Someone getting hurt was


    inevitable. There were even contestants who were killed at the scene.


    Everyone turned their attentions back to the main arena in the middle of theke as the host


    finished announcing all the information and finally went off the stage.


    Thepetition began.


    The Martial Arts Conventionpetitions were ssified into three categories ording to Kungfu


    Levels. They were the Yellow Level, the ck Level, and the Earth Level.


    However, the highest level, Heaven Level, was not included in thepetition. Since all Heaven


    Level martial artists already reached the highest state of cultivation, they were regarded as


    prominent figures in the martial arts world. To participate in such apetition would only waste


    their time and effort.


    Hence, there were only three categories in thepetition.
