The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 1186: Chapter 1203: Knockout Tournament [First Update]

In just half a day, a name had spread throughout the martial arts world of M Country, with all the major news outlets reporting it.

He is Ye Feng! At this moment, everyone knew that at the Light Boxing Association’s grand tournament, a Martial King emerged — a youthful Martial King, young and already a strong fighter of Martial King caliber, successfully advancing in the elimination rounds!

Almost everyone was discussing Ye Feng: ”Did you hear? In the tournament, a young Martial King in his twenties appeared, rumored to be from Dragon Country, extraordinarily powerful, and even took away the billion-dollar fortune of Guyun Chamber of Commerce’s president!”

”How is that possible! A young Martial King, you must be kidding, right? Even the president of the Light Boxing Association, Lord Karloff, only has two Martial Kings under his command, and they’re over seventy years old. How can there be a Martial King in his twenties? It’s impossible, I absolutely won’t believe it!”

”It’s true, with just one punch, relying on just the force of the punch, he obliterated fifty-four warriors at Innate Level. If such a person isn’t a legendary Martial King, then what is he?”

”What! The punch’s force killed fifty-four warriors at Innate Level, this... this...”

Ye Feng’s name spread far and wide, almost everyone was talking about the young Martial King from Dragon Country, Ye Feng.

Yet, Ye Feng was not worried about being delisted or having his identity exposed. This time, Ye Feng represented himself in M Country, with Dragon Country’s higher-ups taking no action or having any connection with Ye Feng’s movements.

Ye Feng’s identity was the highest secret of Dragon Country, so no matter how much M Country investigated, it would be ineffective, as long as Ye Feng didn’t interact with the warriors from M Country’s high-level combat zones, he wouldn’t have any problems; he’s perfectly fine being active in the business world.

In a blink of an eye, it was the second day of the Light Boxing Association’s grand tournament. Today’s competition venue was the largest martial arts arena in the Light Arena, with seating for up to twenty thousand spectators. Before the competition even started, the seats were filled, and the venue was already a sea of people, with the atmosphere reaching its peak.

At that moment, the sound system in the venue started playing, explosive music echoed throughout the arena.

The entire audience cheered, and as a helicopter flew overhead.

A fiery woman stands atop the helicopter, holding a microphone, enthusiastically shouting: ”Ladies and gentlemen, I am the host of this tournament, your most familiar friend, Alyssa. I’ll be hosting this tournament; the match is about to begin. Let’s give our warmest applause and cheers, shall we?”

Instantly, applause thundered through the venue, cheers like waves cascading one after another, everyone was driven to the extreme, and their eyes revealed a crazed look, with everyone’s emotions reaching the peak.

At that moment, Alyssa loudly announced: ”Now, let’s welcome our panel of judges, and the organizer of this tournament, president of the Light Boxing Association, Carlos, to enter!” As her voice fell, the atmosphere in the venue became even more enthusiastic.

”Carlos! Carlos!” The entire audience fervently shouted Carlos’ name.

On the road to the judge’s seat, an elderly man with white hair, accompanied by thirty martial artists dressed uniformly, walked over. That elder was none other than the president of the Light Boxing Association, Carlos.

And those powerful fighters beside Carlos, every one of them had at least reached the late-stage Innate level.

At Carlos’ sides were two individuals whose presence was overwhelmingly powerful, having reached the legendary level.

Their thirty individuals formed Carlos’ guard, the Light Messenger Group, standing together with blood Qi transformed into a vast aura, engulfing the entire arena, making everyone feel as if the venue instantly turned into a massive furnace, oppressing everyone to the point where even breathing became difficult.

The crowd’s eyes were filled with frenzy, loudly chanting Carlos’ name with reverence.

Afterward, Carlos led his subordinates to sit at the judge’s seat.

Following this, Alyssa loudly announced: ”The judges are in place; now let’s welcome the contestants of this Light Boxing Association tournament’s elimination rounds to appear!” As her words fell, contestants began walking out from the entrance.

At the entrance to the competition grounds, Ye Feng and a group of elimination round contestants walked into the arena.

The entire audience enthusiastically cheered loudly, with expressions showing anticipation.

After a short while, someone noticed something was amiss; at that moment, there were thirty-three people in the competition arena.

Everyone’s eyes showed confusion; someone murmured, ”That’s not right; shouldn’t there be thirty-two people for the elimination rounds, using the format of thirty-two to sixteen, sixteen to eight, eight to four, four to two, and finally crowning the champion?

How come there’s an extra person now? With an extra person, how can the following matches proceed?”

Everyone nodded, feeling quite perplexed; even the host curiously directed her gaze at Carlos: ”Mr. Carlos, the elimination rounds should have thirty-two people, but there’s an extra person now; how will the tournament proceed?”

At this moment, Carlos picked up the microphone and casually said: ”Originally, according to the tournament rules, anyone with a history of reaching the top eight can bypass the preliminary selection and directly enter the elimination rounds. Originally, Shengshi Electronics wasn’t going to participate this year, so there were twenty-four people directly advancing to the elimination rounds.

Adding the eight contestants from the preliminary, there should be thirty-two people. But just yesterday, Shengshi Electronics suddenly decided to participate. According to the tournament rules, any company with a history of reaching the top eight can decide whether to participate in the tournament before the elimination rounds start, leading to an extra contestant when Shengshi Electronics joined yesterday!”

After hearing Carlos’ words, everyone suddenly understood, while the host curiously asked Carlos: ”Mr. Carlos, since there’s an extra contestant in the elimination rounds now, how will the tournament proceed?”

All the spectators had confusion in their eyes.
