<h4>Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: Xiang Yu to Participate in the Grand Competition</h4>


    "Are you talking about Leng Chan under themand of Poison Rose from Dumei Hall?" Jin Guozhong asked.


    Hong Jinbao nodded with a meaningful smile.


    Jin Guozhong shook his head helplessly and said, "After all, she’s a woman. If she can defeat Fang Xiaoming and be a candidate, our Hong Sect will be aughing stock."


    Hong Jinbao chuckled indifferently, "Who says a woman can’t be the boss? I think she’s quite good."


    Jin Guozhong shook his head wearily, "Even if a woman can be the boss, she’s no match for Fang Xiaoming. I’ve investigated this Fang Xiaoming, and he’s quite a character."


    Hong Jinbao nodded, "That’s right, this kid has some skills. But you shouldn’t underestimate Leng Chan, I see she walks withposure; her body coordination is excellent. She shouldn’t be a simple person."


    The two discussed some matters within the sect before going to rest separately.


    The next day, thepetition still followed a draw-to-match format. Leng Chan drew number three, advancing directly again without a fight.


    Fang Xiaoming still drew number one, defeating his opponent effortlessly, as expected by all.


    Now, only three people remained, one of whom was from Purgatory Hall. These three would have a round-robin match in the afternoon to determine who was the strongest among them.


    This afternoon will decide who bes the candidate. Everyone is looking forward to the battle this afternoon.


    Everyone wants to know who’s more formidable: this Fang Xiaoming or the silent Leng Chan.


    But they believe Leng Chan is not a match for Fang Xiaoming, not even for one move. After all, she’s just a woman.


    No matter how powerful a woman is, there are limits. She’s definitely not a match for a man.


    In the afternoon, after his meal, Jin Guozhong sat in his room to rest when his phone suddenly rang.


    "Who is it?" Jin Guozhong asked in a bad mood.


    "How’s it going?" Yuan Huai suddenly asked.


    Hearing Yuan Huai’s voice, Jin Guozhong felt relieved and then sighed, exining the current situation.


    "You say someone from Sky Thief Rat will likely be the candidate?" Yuan Huai asked suspiciously.


    "That’s right. Judging by strength now, Fang Xiaoming is likely to be the champion." Jin Guozhong sighed, "If you return to your previous state, he certainly wouldn’t be your match."


    Now Jin Guozhong also knew about Yuan Huai’s current physical condition. He wouldn’t be a match for Fang Xiaoming, and he probably wouldn’t even be able to take on a generally strong person.


    "Can Xiang Yu still participate in this election?" Yuan Huai suddenly asked.


    Jin Guozhong was stunned to hear this, shaking his head with a bitter smile, "Has he woken up?"


    "He has." Yuan Huai replied directly.


    "Let him rest properly then." Jin Guozhong said.


    Even if Xiang Yu has woken up now, it’s no use. His leg is injured, and he simply can’t participate in such intense activities.


    Even if he could participate, in the end, it would still be a failed oue. It would be better not to participate to avoid embarrassment.


    "He doesn’t want to rest. I’m just asking, is there still time if wee now?" Yuan Huai insisted.


    Faced with Yuan Huai’s persistence, Jin Guozhong felt helpless and said, "That’s not for me to decide. I need to discuss it with the Sect Leader."


    "I’m waiting for your message." Yuan Huai said and hung up the phone directly.


    Jin Guozhong held the phone in a daze for a while. He didn’t know what Yuan Huai intended because Xiang Yu clearly couldn’t participate.


    With no other options, Jin Guozhong went to Hong Jinbao’s room and told him about the situation.


    "What, Xiang Yu wants to participate in this match?" Hong Jinbao asked, somewhat in disbelief.


    The stab Xiang Yu received was very deep, and it’s a miracle he’s alive now. And now he wants to participate in the match; this is absurd.


    In the past, when invited, Xiang Yu didn’t want to participate. Now, when no one is forcing him, he insists oning.


    "No, he’s acting out of spite. Let’s not let hime." Hong Jinbao said.


    Jin Guozhong wanted to say something but held his tongue. In his view, even if Xiang Yu is a reckless person, Yuan Huai wouldn’t be reckless. Yuan Huai must have a reason for agreeing.


    At precisely three in the afternoon, the match officially began. Before it started, Hong Jinbao stood up and said, "You might have all heard of Xiang Yu before, and some have even met him. He has just informed me that he wants to participate in today’s match..."


    Before Hong Jinbao could finish, Sky Thief Rat interjected, "Great, if he wants to join, let hime quickly. Even though he missed the first two rounds, we don’t mind."


    The others nodded to indicate they had no objections. Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi had already be legendary figures in Hong Sect, and they all wanted to see what Xiang Yu was really like.


    As for Xiang Yu’s current injuries and whether he can participate in today’s match, those are minor concerns.


    Most of the halls have lost the ability topete, so they don’t care who bes the candidate.


    "I’ve already rejected him. The match has gone through two rounds. If he joins now, it would be unfair to the others." Hong Jinbao said.


    "Come on, Sect Leader, we don’t mind. Just let hime over, don’t you think so?" Sky Thief Rat said to the other hall masters.


    To Sky Thief Rat, Xiang Yu must be here out of anger, joining impulsively.


    Given Xiang Yu’s leg injury, it wouldn’t make sense if he didn’t lie in the hospital for a few months.


    It’s only been ten days, his leg surely isn’t healed. Even if hees, he definitely won’t be a match for Fang Xiaoming.


    Moreover, now Xiang Yu’s fame within Hong Sect is very high. Everyone knows someone named Xiang Yu who has defeated Sky Thief Rat and others decisively.


    Today is a perfect opportunity to teach Xiang Yu a lesson and let Hong Sect know that Xiang Yu is absolutely no match for Fang Xiaoming.


    "Sect Leader, since Xiang Yu has signed up, he can’t note. What does he think this is? A ce he cane and go as he pleases?" Sky Thief Ratined.


    Hong Jinbao then looked at the others, "What do you all think?"


    Everyone chose silence. The atmosphere was tense, and they didn’t know what the Sect Leader thought, so they said nothing.


    At this moment, Yu Honghao, the Hall Master of Purgatory Hall, coughed and said, "I support Sky Thief Rat’s view. Since he’s signed up and has agreed toe, let’s just let hime. As for the two rounds he’s missed, none of us mind, so it doesn’t matter."


    The others quickly nodded, showing agreement with Yu Honghao’s statement, even though they didn’t speak.


    Jin Guozhong sat there without expressing his view. He didn’t know why Yuan Huai wanted Xiang Yu toe. Yuan Huai was usually a sensible person, but this seemed to be getting out of hand.


    Seeing everyone agree, Hong Jinbao finally said, "We all agreed beforehand, so let’s allow him toe. But if Xiang Yu actually wins, don’t regret it."


    Since Xiang Yu is willing toe, let’s fulfill his request. In any case, with Xiang Yu already injured, his participation won’t significantly impact the match...
