"Fishing Guild, Chen Jiusi, please enlighten me!"
Chen Jie stepped onto the stage and assumed a starting pose.
Seeing Chen Jie actually take the stage, many people from the Fishing Guild side were surprised.
"He, he really dares to go up!"
The Third Ship Leader was shocked by Chen Jieâs bravery; it was clear on first sight that Yu Biao meant no good. With such a person, to fight him in a martial arts contest means preparing to be crippled or even to lose oneâs life.
There couldnât be a trace of hope for fluke; if flukes were really possible, they would have taken the chance to make a name for themselves long ago.
The Fourth Ship Leader slightly furrowed his brow and said, "Has he gotten dizzy from seeing the Hall Master sitting there, taking the stage at this time? Winning may indeed get you remembered by the Hall Master, but what if you lose?"
The Second Ship Leader had forsaken home and work to buy Blood and Flesh Pills, forcibly enhancing his strength to the Refining Body Realm, yet he had been beaten so miserably, not sustaining beyond two moves. Do you really think youâre stronger than the Second Ship Leader?
If you recklessly rush on now, and you canât withstand even one move, wouldnât you bring even more disgrace to the Fishing Guild?
Such actions wonât leave a good impression on the Hall Master; on the contrary, because of this incident, he might add you to the list of those never to be promoted, and your life will just be like this.
Thatâs young people for you, too impatient!
The Fourth Ship Leader shook his head, not optimistic about Chen Jie fighting in this match at all.
It just seemed like a young man trying to make an impression, and even he felt that Chen Jie was somewhat courting death.
How formidable Yu Biao is, with his Heart Shattering Palm. Even the Second Ship Leader, Li Sanding, could not withstand two moves; how could you manage? Your recklessness might just cost you your life.
At that moment Fifth Captain Zhou Chu also frowned, looking at Chen Jie who took the stage.
He shouted, "Brother, brother, come down, come down! This is no joke, it can be deadly!"
Zhou Chu had no understanding of Chen Jieâs strength.
He thought Chen Jie was at most on par with him, at the Skin Buff Realm!
But then Xiao Hu spoke up, "Fifth Captain, donât worry, my Jiu Si understands!"
"Understands crap. You saw how viciously Yu Biao strikes, and look at the frail frame of Jiu Si."
Zhou Chu was very concerned. Xiao Hu laughed in response, "You know nothing about Jiu Si!"
"Me! Fine, I wonât argue with you. Later, if we see something wrong, we rush up to save Jiu Si and concede the fight! Got it?"
Xiao Hu looked at Zhou Chu and seeing his genuinely worried expression, nodded, "Okay."
Zhou Chu then felt a bit relieved, but also felt resentful in his heart, why is Jiu Si showing off at a time like this?
Meanwhile, the surrounding members of the Fishing Guild looked at Chen Jie with skepticism. After all, since Chen Jie had joined the Fishing Guild, he was involved but stood out little, and upon arriving at the fishery, he would just greet them and then go down the river. Usually, aside from knowing that Chen Jie was a connection of Wu Zhong, they knew very little about him.
Now seeing him leap onto the stage, each one was dumbfounded. What on earth was this guy doing?
Making a fool of himself?
But Chen Jie had already jumped onto the stage â what else could they say?
Therefore, they all refrained from saying anything more. In their hearts, Chen Jie was just a connected family member with a slight amount of strength, and this strength, compared to ordinary disciples, wasnât much.
He wasnât even close to being compared with those at the ship captain level.
For a moment, no one had a good opinion of Chen Jie.
On the contrary, people from Guild Cao, seeing Chen Jie step onto the platform, were not too surprised. That day during the pig slaughter show of strength, Chen Jie dared to confront Yu Biao head-on; without some capabilities, would he dare to do that?
However, they didnât think Chen Jie would win.
Because the Second Ship Leader had been defeated, and the strength displayed by Li Sanding just now showed he was not weak, even somewhat extraordinarily strong.
The Manager had only lasted a few moves before retreating in a fight against him.
And they had all experienced the Managerâs strength.
Yet, someone like Li Sanding who defeated the Manager, couldnât last more than two moves in the hands of their own Manager, falling in defeat.
So what special abilities did this Chen Jiusi have that made him think he could take even one move from their Manager?
Even if he were stronger, could he surpass their own Manager or their Second Ship Leader? If he were stronger than Li Sanding, according to the rules of the Fishing Guild, a martiaux artist of the Skin Buff Realm could directly be promoted to ship captain, so he shouldnât be a River Patrol but a ship captain already!
Therefore, this Chen Jiusi, even if he had some abilities, was probably around the Skin Buff Realm martial artists.
At best, he was at the Skin Buff Realm, how impressive could that be?
Thus, they didnât believe Chen Jie could withstand even one move from their old master, perhaps getting blown away with a single palm.
The disciples of Guild Cao whispered to each other, discussing how badly Chen Jie would be beaten.
Meanwhile, the common folk watching the excitement also noticed Chen Jie, with someone who recognized him saying, "Hey, isnât that Chen Yongwangâs grandson, Chen Jiusi?"
"Chen Jiusi? That wastrel gambler who squandered half his lifeâs savings of the Chen family in just six months?"
"Thatâs him!"
"Whatâs he doing joining in the excitement?"
"Hey, you didnât know? I heard heâs reformed and even learned medical skills from Doctor Bai. Heâs now a River Patrol of the Fishing Guild, though I donât know if itâs true or not."
"Who cares if itâs true or not, with his frail body, wonât he just get slapped flying by Yu Biao?"
"Exactly, some half-baked doctor learning from Doctor Bai, whatâs he doing fighting in a martial contest? Isnât this downright ludicrous?"
Hearing this, the people around all chimed in, "Yeah, isnât this just nonsense?"
Amidst the surrounding discussion, the three big shots watching the fight on the high platform also turned their eyes towards Chen Jie on the stage.
