Why does everyone seem so excited and in high spirits?” Tangyu asked.
Rao Yuanzhi smiled and said, “Of course they’re excited; I predict you’ll be all fired up soon too.
It’s basically a friendly sparring competition on the Martial Platform, where anyone interested can go up and challenge others.”
“It’s just a martial arts contest; what’s so special about it?” Tangyu asked with a raised eyebrow.
Rao Yuanzhi shook his head with a smile and said, “If it were just a martial arts contest, there wouldn’t be anything special, of course.
But today’s competition has a lot of new twists to it—it’s quite different from the usual.
Anyone who wants to issue a challenge on the platform must offer something precious they own as a prize.
All the treasures will be collected and assigned random numbers.
Each winner from a contest gets to draw a prize.
The more victories you have, the more prizes you get to draw, until no one else comes up to challenge.”
The approach was indeed novel, albeit a contest on a platform nonetheless.
I love watching that!
Good brother, you should also go play; with your skills, you’re sure to win a lot of treasures,” Zhao Yaya said excitedly.
Seeing Tangyu’s indifference, Rao Yuanzhi continued, “You mustn’t underestimate this competition, Tangyu.
It’s quite meaningful for many people.
Just talking about those treasures, they’re enough to be very enticing.
For example, some offer a favor as a prize, others might offer a valuable artifact, and some even put forward a check for ten million.
In short, there’s nothing you can think of that isn’t offered as a prize.
Besides the contestants’ offerings, others willing to contribute will also present corresponding treasures.
Of course, the Five Young Masters of Donglin are no exception.
Three of their prizes are randomly drawn, leaving it to luck.
The other two are reserved for the two with the best performance on the Martial Platform tonight.
Just so you know, the Five Young Masters of Donglin are never stingy with their rewards.
The prizes alone are enough to make anyone envious.
Additionally, it’s all in good fun.
On the Martial Platform, you can also make friends—’no discord, no concord,’ that’s exactly the idea.”
Tangyu smirked and said, “While it does sound a bit interesting now that you’ve explained it, I’m still not that interested.
But it seems nice to just watch the fun.”
“Haha right, it’s quite nice to watch the excitement.
I, for one, am not going up there to embarrass myself; I’m just here to enjoy the show,” Rao Yuanzhi laughed as well.
The Five Young Masters of Donglin were also discussing something, and it took a while before the five reached a consensus.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for the highlight of our Dragon and Phoenix Banquet, a fierce competition.
Although it’s called a fierce competition, the premise is friendly matches and to stop at the right moment, all in the spirit of entertainment.
We hope no one gets seriously hurt.
This time, we five have decided to offer the same reward—a favor from each of us.
Whoever wins our prizes can redeem them for a favor.
We’ll oblige any request, big or small, as long as it doesn’t go against our principles.
If it doesn’t violate those, we can help with almost anything.
All right, anyone willing to contribute a prize, please get ready to put it into the prize box.” Two staff members carrying a box walked out.
The competition had ignited everyone’s passion, and many people eagerly placed their prizes into the box.
Those who wanted to challenge on the Martial Platform were required to contribute a prize,
Feng Tian and Fang Yishui were particularly excited, both having contributed prizes, eager to show off their skills on the platform.
As for their actions, Tangyu simply let them be.
“Senior sister, since you’re already so amazing, you shouldn’t go up anymore.
Give your junior brother a chance to shine.
I want to win more prizes,” Feng Tian said with a grin, full of confidence.
His strength indeed made his confidence well-founded.
Fang Yishui replied, “You know your senior sister is formidable, so it would be a waste not to showcase my skills, plus, it would dishonor our master’s teachings.
I must go up there today.
But don’t worry, you go up first, and when it’s almost time, I’ll take over for you.
That way, you won’t run out of energy and let others take advantage, tarnishing our master’s reputation.
I’m fully prepared to cover for you and not disgrace our master.
Forget about the prizes; they’re too mundane.
Just don’t end up with a ‘good buddy’ as your reward.”
“If I really end up with a ‘good buddy,’ I still wouldn’t be at a loss,” Feng Tian said.
Yang Xiaoyu approached and said, “Brother Tangyu, don’t you want to go up and show off your skills?
I feel like if you went up, you’d steal the show.
Today would truly be your main event.”
“I’m not interested,” Tangyu shook his head and said.
“Come on, just relax and have some fun.
Nobody’s really serious about competing; it’s all in good fun.
Winning some prizes could be interesting.
You may even win a few favors, something money can’t buy,” Yang Xiaoyu said.
