Beautiful CEO's Top Martial Expert-Chapter 2025 - 2023: Hunter Valley Competition (Plus Two Extra - s)
Xiao Yifeng and his group were getting closer to the Holy City, while they were increasingly witnessing the vastness and bustle of the East Province.
They also realized the large number of strong individuals in the East Province, a stark contrast to the South Desolation.
In East Province, within a city built around a mountain range, Xiao Yifeng and his group entered.
"There are so many bounty hunters from the Hunters Alliance here!"
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu commented.
Xiao Yifeng scanned his gaze around, indeed spotting numerous blood-stained individuals exuding a fierce and evil qi along the street, obviously bounty hunters from the Hunters Alliance.
Lately, Xiao Yifeng and his group entered an inn to take a rest, when a conversation erupted from a nearby table.
"Who do you think will come out on top in this Hunter Valley competition? I heard that Lord Mark is offering a set of Sacred Level Martial Arts Techniques as a prize to attract many hunters to participate."
"To win this Sacred Level Martial Arts, surely everyone qualified within this eastern region will join, but I think that newly risen Mu Lishang has a great chance of coming out on top."
"Rumor has it that he’s now at the Divine Soul Realm, and his combat ability with the Hateful Empyrean Spear is very strong. Just the other day, he killed a Spirit Beast with Fourth Level Divine Soul Realm might; chances are high."
"Yes, I also think he has a big chance!"
At this moment, the seated Xiao Yifeng heard the mentioned name of Mu Lishang, and his eyes narrowed.
"Brother Xiao, isn’t that Brother Mu?"
Both Liu Xuaner and Beiming Shuang were shocked upon hearing Mu Lishang’s name and looked at Xiao Yifeng.
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes were flickering, about to inquire further when a roaring sound erupted.
A terrifying force shattered the table before the discussing group, startling them, who then cursed with an angry expression.
"Who is it? Looking for death, huh?"
This group cursed while scanning around, seeing several figures standing before them, led by a man wearing a black robe with a cold expression.
Two sinister eyes gleaming with chilling light, with four middle-aged men in black tight outfits radiating thick evil qi standing behind him.
"Do you want to kill me?"
The man stared coldly at the group.
"Young Master Ma, we’re sorry, sorry, Young Master Ma, we didn’t know it was you!"
The group looked at the man, their expressions changed, quickly putting on a fearful face.
"Who did you say will come out on top in the Hunter Valley competition?"
The man’s gaze fixed the group.
"It’s Mu..."
"Of course, it’s Young Master Ma, you’re the strongest among the young generation within the eastern branch of the Hunters Alliance; the first place must belong to you!"
One person in the group almost mentioned Mu Lishang but was quickly interrupted by another who flattering looked at the man.
"Humph, you’ve got a good eye. That silly Mu Lishang is nothing but trash in my eyes. If he dares to participate in the Hunter Valley competition, I’ll make sure he loses awfully!"
The man snorted arrogant and left immediately.
"What a worthless thing, depending on his father being the eastern branch chief of the Hunters Alliance to flaunt his power!"
As that man left, one of the discussing group cursed unwillingly.
"It’s because he has a good father, just bear it!"
Another person commented.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yifeng watched this scene with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"It’s you!"
A voice suddenly sounded beside Xiao Yifeng, seeing a man with First Level Divine Soul Realm standing in front of him with a surprised look.
This person was none other than Zhao Yi, the bounty hunter whom Xiao Yifeng had met twice before in the South Desolation.
"It’s you, how are you here? Your strength has increased so much!"
Xiao Yifeng looked at Zhao Yi with a light smile; when they first met, Zhao Yi was only at the Second Level of the Hollow Void Realm, but now he’s a Divine Soul Realm expert.
"I didn’t expect to meet you here either!"
Zhao Yi said while looking at Xiao Yifeng.
"By the way, are you familiar with this Hunter Valley competition?"
Xiao Yifeng asked.
"Hunter Valley competition? I know, it’s a contest organized by the eastern branch chief of the Hunters Alliance, open to the young generation bounty hunters in the eastern region."
"They say the winner can obtain a Saint-level technique, attracting many young bounty hunters to participate!"
Zhao Yi remarked.
"Are there many regions within the Hunters Alliance?"
Xiao Yifeng asked.
"Because of the wide territory of East Province, and frequent conflicts among bounty hunters over the same task, the Hunters Alliance later divided East Province into four branches: east, south, west, and north."
"Bounty hunters in East Province are allocated to these four branches, hunters can only complete tasks within their own branch’s territory."
"This has reduced excessive fighting and conflicts among bounty hunters, while Hunter Valley is the headquarters of the eastern branch of the Hunters Alliance."
Zhao Yi explained.
"Can you take us to this Hunter Valley!"
Xiao Yifeng spoke.
"You’re going to Hunter Valley? To watch the competition?"
Zhao Yi asked in surprise.
"Yes!"
Xiao Yifeng nodded, he’s heading to Hunter Valley obviously for Mu Lishang.
Previously Mu Lishang came with Tian Tu to the Ancient Realm and got separated. Now upon hearing news about him, of course, Xiao Yifeng wants to find him.
Then Xiao Yifeng and his group followed Zhao Yi to head towards Hunter Valley.
Hunter Valley is located thirty miles outside the city, a large valley transformed into a branch of the Hunters Alliance.
Now a few hundred bounty hunters have gathered in this Hunter Valley, some are here to compete, others to watch the contest.
As Xiao Yifeng and his group followed Zhao Yi here, they entered the valley, randomly choosing a place to watch.
Then, from the building inside Hunter Valley came a group of people, led by a middle-aged man in a tiger robe, full beard, exuding a pressure, his eyes gleaming with evil light, producing a chilling feeling.
This was Mark, chief of the eastern branch of the Hunters Alliance, a strong figure at the Third Level of Life and Death Realm.
Beside Mark was a proud young man, the previous Young Master Ma, Mark’s son, Ma Liang.
"Everyone, to boost the enthusiasm among all bounty hunters in our eastern branch, and to provide a platform for the young generation bounty hunters to showcase their strength, I specially organized this Hunter Valley competition today."
"All bounty hunters aged twenty to thirty can participate, the winner will receive a Saint-level technique."
"Moreover, this Saint-level technique is specifically for spear techniques, which I obtained from completing a task previously, and it’s specially brought out today as the reward."
Mark addressed the crowd.
