"David. We've received a message from the Red Butterfly; they insist that you prioritize completing the mission, and avoid playing around."

"Hmph, what is Red Butterfly to me? If it weren't for the mutual benefits, do you think I would listen to them?"

"David, we need the help of Red Butterfly, otherwise, we cannot justifiably enter Huaxia. Moreover, headquarters has also issued a warning: if your men cannot eliminate Ye Dahe on time, we will commission the people of Red Butterfly to assist. By then, you will be dealt with by the Military Affairs Bureau."

"John, don't threaten me. I know what to do. Huaxia's Kung Fu is nothing special anyway. Rest assured, once I take the championship, it will be the end for Ye Dahe."

Yes, this free combat tournament was initiated by these foreigners. And when the outside world questions Huaxia martial arts, it attracts so much media attention and the concern of the Huaxia public.

Meanwhile, these foreigners are making exorbitant profits in the open, while a conspiracy unfolds in secret. The objective of this plot is aimed at Ye Xiaofan's uncle, Ye Dahe.

Currently, Ye Dahe holds the position of Executor Level One at the National Supervision Bureau. The title of Iron-faced Judge isn't given casually; Ye Dahe's impartiality is well recognized within the circle. Nine out of ten officials investigated by him eventually fall from power, and because of this, there are many who wish for his downfall.

Inside the Yanhuang Soul at this moment.

"David George, a citizen of M Country, came to Huaxia twelve years ago and stayed for ten years. He once apprenticed under numerous Huaxia martial arts masters but ultimately betrayed each of his mentors in a short span, injuring them severely before leaving. This person has done extensive research on Huaxia martial arts, and this time returning to Huaxia might be to prove that his skills surpass Huaxia martial arts."

"What is his status in M Country?"

"A farm owner, nothing else has been found."

"Closely monitor him and his associates' specific movements. If he is merely here to challenge our Huaxia martial arts then let him, and let him experience the power of Huaxia martial arts. Use this competition to demonstrate the prestige of Huaxia martial arts to the whole world. If there's any irregular behavior, immediately terminate the match, and keep him in Huaxia." Fan Lingtian sternly instructed.

"Yes."

Meanwhile, our classmate Ye Xiaofan was sipping on a small drink, slowly reviewing the profiles of competitors that Chen Mei'Er had brought him for the competition.

Of course, looking at profiles won't reveal the competitor's strength. Actually, Xiaofan's purpose in joining this competition was to make money. If he were to find a job after graduating from university, even earning ten thousand a month, it would take over ten to twenty years of hard work to achieve anything. However, if he could win a few rounds in this competition, coupled with the influence of Chen Mei'Er's family, he could potentially earn a significant amount of money in less than a week.

Additionally, Xiaofan also wanted to test his abilities in front of a large audience to see what level he had reached. In case of encountering an opponent as strong as the Five Ghosts in a one-on-one duel, whether he could handle it.

The competition's venue was a makeshift martial arts stage set up in a gymnasium. Participants were arranged to stay at a large hotel less than two kilometers away from the venue. Naturally, Xiaofan was one of them.

Seeing the bizarre competitors, Xiaofan's nervousness also turned into exhilaration. Until which stage could he reach with his strength?

The number of participants from across the country exceeded five hundred. Ultimately, from these five hundred plus participants, one hundred and twenty-eight will be selected through preliminaries to enter the knockout stage.

Every participant had to sign a waiver before the contest. Since there are unforeseen accidents in fights, it implies consent to let the game continue under extreme instances without legal repercussions.

Although some people of poor character might see it as the perfect cover for murder without consequence.

After signing the waiver, Xiaofan moved into the hotel. That evening, Liu Siyan delivered three sets of clothing to the hotel, each adorned with the big logo of the Liu Group.

When he tried them on, they fitted perfectly.

"Xiaofan, be careful. I feel that fighting isn't very good."

"It's nothing, don't worry. I'm really good at fighting, and when I earn some advertising fees, I'll buy you a gift." Xiaofan giggled.

"I don't want any gifts, I just want you safe and sound." Liu Siyan hadn't smiled since she arrived; she didn't desire luxury but knew she couldn't interfere with Xiaofan's decision.

'Knock knock.' At this moment, a knock sounded on the door.

Xiaofan slowly walked over to open it, and a man in a neat suit, wearing glasses, greeted him amicably: "Hello, I'm an employee of the Millennium Group, my surname is Huang. May I speak to Mr. Ye Xiaofan?"

"Yes, that's me, is there something I can help with?" Xiaofan nodded.

"May I come in?"

"Hmm. Please do."

Ah, they came to offer advertising opportunities to contestants. Similar individuals have visited three or four times before. However, none of those discussions concluded successfully because their offered price was too low and Xiaofan's demands were too high, so of course, they wouldn't agree.

"As for the advertising fee for the first match, we offer three thousand yuan. If you advance, the advertising fee will double, doubling for each match won. Does this proposal present any issues for you?"

"Three thousand is too low," Xiaofan replied without thinking.

"Then what do you propose, Mr. Ye?"

"At least thirty thousand. Why would others get tens of thousands while I only get a few thousand?" Xiaofan said unhappily.

"Ahem, Mr. Ye, actually, three thousand is the highest price our company offers. If you disagree, we have no further adjustment, sorry to disturb you."

"Hey, wait." Just as the other party was about to leave, Liu Siyan spoke up.

"Hmm? Miss, do you have something to say?"

"The first match appearance fee can be three thousand; let's set it as such, but the advertising rate for the second match will be decided by us, and whether you accept it is up to you." Liu Siyan said calmly.

"Very well. I will amend the contract immediately, we can proceed to sign right away."

After Liu Siyan spoke, the other party swiftly amended the document, promptly placing three thousand on the table.

Upon finding no issues with the contract, Liu Siyan handed the pen over to Xiaofan.

Though Xiaofan was reluctant, how could he refuse when Liu Siyan had already told him to sign, even if it was for a mere three thousand?
