Chapter 83 Iron Chains Across the River!
Inside the room, Qin Fangqiong looked at Chen Fan and asked, "Have you felt any pressure from Su Yu?"
"I didn't feel it!"
Chen Fan answered decisively, his chin slightly raised, still displaying the arrogance of a prodigy: "My disciple possesses superior talent; his path in martial arts is as high as the clouds. Although Junior Brother Su achieved a breakthrough by chance, his potential has been exhausted. Why should I care?"
Qin Fangqiong looked at Chen Fan and sighed inwardly.
He has now seen through his disciple Chen Fan, finding him lacking in character.
If she truly didn't care about Su Yu, she wouldn't have said such a thing.
He initially favored Chen Fan, given his superior physical constitution and greater potential than Su Yu. Taking Su Yu under his wing, if it could ignite his competitive spirit and lead to rivalry, might actually be a good thing.
However, Chen Fan's current mindset seems somewhat inappropriate. As Su Yu continues to catch up and improve, the pressure on Chen Fan will only increase.
"Chen Fan".
Qin Fangqiong put down her teacup, her voice turning serious: "Regarding this martial arts competition, I have my own judgment on you and Su Yu. Whoever ranks higher proves their greater potential. In the future, the resources I have will be tilted towards the winner!"
"I hope you won't let your teacher down!"
Chen Fan's pupils suddenly contracted.
Resource allocation?
What was once a sure thing is now going to be fought over by that good-for-nothing?
"Yes, Master!"
He lowered his head, concealing the panic and resentment in his eyes. His fists clenched tightly in his sleeves, his nails piercing his palms.
Su Yu—you damned roadblock!
Seeing Chen Fan leave, Qin Fangqiong also sighed.
I hope that the pressure I put on this apprentice will lead to a transformation in his character.
The next morning, at the Heihe ferry crossing.
Three massive iron chain bridges span the river, connecting a huge floating arena in the middle of the river. The arena is constructed of hundreds of iron floating logs, several meters above the water, as stable as flat ground.

"Second Challenge: Iron Chains Across the River!"
The examiner loudly announced the rules: "Three groups will compete in a free-for-all! After one incense stick's time, the group with the most members remaining on the stage will win, and the top twenty will advance! The next fifteen will advance, and the last five will advance!"
"Those who fall into the water are eliminated!"
"That's the Iron Chain Across the River. Go up and draw lots! Remember, this is a team battle, and the situation is unknown, so you absolutely cannot be careless!" Lin Wanzhu instructed.
"Don't worry, Sister Lin! This venue is perfect for my whip technique. I'm definitely advancing this time!" Lin Jing said confidently, then glanced at Su Yu and added, "Su Yu, if you're in my group, I'll protect you!"
Su Yu smiled. Although Lin Jing was a feisty girl, she wasn't a bad person at heart, especially since she didn't hold a grudge after he spanked her.
I usually get along quite well with her, so if we're really in the same group later, I can help her out if I can.
"Let's go draw lots!"
The three went to the registration desk to register. Soon everyone arrived, the lottery began, and the results were announced one after another.
"Lin Dong, Group A!"
5
"Chen Fan, Group B."
3
'
"Su Yu, Group C!"
5
'
"Lin Jing, Group C!"
Lin Wanzhu frowned upon hearing the result. The draw wasn't good; although Su Yu and Lin Jing were in the same group and could help each other, they were assigned to the weakest group, Group C.
As for Lin Dong, he's been placed in Group A, which is excellent. Because Cui Wanhe is in Group A, his chances of winning first place are very high.
The strongest player in Group B is Sun Yan, and his brother Sun Shi is also a good option.
As for Group C, Dai Xing, who only has one secondary acupoint, is powerful, but still much weaker than the other two.
"Waaah—"
'
A long, drawn-out horn sound rang out, and a group of martial artists put on their respective bindings and, displaying their unique skills, leaped onto the three iron chain bridges.
Lin Jing looked at Su Yu and shouted, "Let's go!"
The two of them leaped onto the iron chain bridge.
Su Yu suddenly felt a sway beneath his feet. At this moment, there were already dozens of people on the iron chain bridge. If everyone exerted even a little force, it would cause the iron chain bridge to shake violently.
Before they even get onto the platform to start fighting, one of their own is about to fall off.
At this point, someone needs to step forward to take the lead!
Everyone turned to look at the handsome man carrying the long spear, who was none other than Dai Xing, the strongest among them.
However, Dai Xing maintained his unchanging expression and didn't say a word. With a light touch of his toes, he rushed up the platform alone, completely disregarding the lives of his teammates behind him.
One of the other martial artists immediately muttered a curse, "Damn it, this guy is just as rumored, arrogant and looking down on people."
"He had no intention of teaming up with everyone; anyway, even the worst group would have five members advancing, so there was bound to be one for him!"
"Then let's forget about that and charge!"
"Charge!"
The iron chains swayed even more violently, and some people lost their footing and were immediately pushed down.
"Damn it! Who attacked me?!"
Before they even reached the high platform, their own people started attacking each other.
Human nature was laid bare at this moment.
Let's look at the other two groups.
On Group A's side, Cui Wanhe, wielding a knife in one hand, boomed, "Those who want to advance, listen to my command! First, clear out the other two groups, especially that bunch of loose fodder in Group C!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Cui!"
The members of Group A instantly found their leader and rushed towards the high platform on the water in an orderly manner, unstoppable.
On Group B's side, Sun Yan was even more brutal. He stomped on a large section of the bridge, breaking it in half, and roared, "Charge! Take them down!"
The bridge collapsed and shook violently. The people in Group B were even more unlucky, cursing and rushing towards the central platform.
Because of the fighting and scrambling, even more people fell off the platform before they even reached it.
Chen Fan was also among them. He had crippled the arm of a martial artist who tried to ambush him with a single punch, and his face was grim.
I am at the first level of the acupoint, and as long as I climb the platform, I have a great chance of staying there!
He must win this martial arts competition!
He cannot lose everything he has just gained. Anyone who stands in his way must die!
A chaotic battle erupted on the high platform.
The elite Group A plunged into the crowd like a sharp knife, and wherever they went, the stragglers from Groups B and C fell into the water.
"Lin Jing, hold the left flank!"
Su Yu gave a low shout, and Mo Yuan was drawn from its sheath.
"The ape emerges from its cave!"
The blade flashed like lightning, instantly sending two martial artists who were attempting a sneak attack flying.
Lin Jing was equally decisive, wielding her serpent whip with incredible speed and precision, repelling each approaching enemy.
The two worked together seamlessly and managed to occupy a corner amidst the chaos.
However, the others were also prepared. Although the group assignments were just announced, if anyone had said there hadn't been any discussion beforehand, then—
It is also impossible.
Soon, Groups B and C quickly formed seven or eight small groups and started fighting against Group A.
The entire water platform descended into chaos, with people constantly falling into the water and being eliminated.
With the help of the Ink Abyss in his hand, Su Yu easily held one foot of the high platform. As for Lin Jing, if she encountered any danger, he would casually throw out a flying locust stone to provide support.
With his help, Lin Jing also successfully defended the flank.
As the incense stick shortened, the pressure on the two of them also decreased.
Soon, the initial fighting between the various factions ended, and the weaker and isolated ones were almost all wiped out.
Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, another change occurred!
