This move of retreating to advance indeed made Seventh Grandad a little anxious.

It was not easy to get to the main topic, but why did Zhao Yu give up just like that?

“It’s not that difficult, after all, if Li Tian Ba is dead. The Moon City is looking for trouble with the Wang Family and not you…”

“We will definitely support you in your conflict with Li Tian Ba…”

“If you really want revenge…”

“I want revenge!” Zhao Yu replied directly.

“Alright, since that’s the case, I can help. I’ll settle the matter of Li Tian Ba’s guardian. What you need to do is to find someone stronger than Li Tian Ba and kill him in the arena fair and square…”

“This way, the impact will be smaller and the risk will also be lower…”

“However, it’s best if the candidate is an old citizen. After all, this matter concerns Li Tian Ba. Few new citizens would dare to work for you. They might even betray you. I mind if you consider it carefully when you contact someone…”

“Alright, thank you, Seventh Grandad!”

Seeing how Zhao Yu concluded so quickly, Seventh Grandad was speechless.

He hadn’t given the Li family the candidate yet.

In Blackstone Town, there weren’t many people who were more powerful than Li Tian Ba and had the status of an old citizen. They had already chosen a few people and had contacted them in advance. It shouldn’t be a problem for Zhao Yu to negotiate with them.

However, looking at the current situation, if he said it directly, it would be too deliberate.

After hesitating for a moment, Seventh Grandad sent the recorded conversation back to Li Family.

A moment later, Elder Li sent him a message, saying that he had done the right thing. Regarding the issue of the candidate, they would think of other ways to spread the news to Zhao Yu’s ears.

The conflict between Zhao Yu and Li Tian Ba wasn’t known to everyone. Only a few people knew about it.

In Blackstone Town, most of the people’s attention was focused on the Immortal Medicine Convention.

“The reward has finally been announced…”

“The first place will be rewarded with a tier two immortal medicine…”

“The second to tenth place will be rewarded with a tier two Divine Medicine…”

“Additionally, the top ten still have the qualification to compete for the tier three Divine Medicine…”

“Hai, the top ten has nothing to do with us. Let’s talk about the rewards later on…”

“Starting from the eleventh place, all the way to the top hundred, there will be potion rewards of varying amounts…”

At the same time, Zhao Yu received the rules at home.

This Immortal Medicine Convention was divided into three competition systems: the finals of the top 100 and a knockout competition.

The first of all elimination round used a single-defeat system. The winner would be decided in one match, and they would be matched randomly until they entered the top 100.

The top 100 competition was a double-defeat system. The winner would advance to the winner’s group and fight in pairs. The loser would enter the loser’s group and retain the qualification to enter the finals.

There were only ten spots in the finals. Entering the finals meant that they were in the top ten. The challenge competition would begin. Everyone would randomly draw a number and challenge three times to determine the top ten. Zhao Yu received news that there were more than 800 people participating in the competition this time. Among them, there were more than 600 new citizens and the remaining 200 old citizens.

Martial Art levels ranged from beginner stage to advanced stage. When it came to championship favorites, almost all of them were new citizens. By comparison, an old citizen entering the top 100 was already highly regarded.

The main reason was the cultivation technique.

The cultivation realm only represented the level of one’s basic Vitality. What truly determined one’s combat strength was the degree of one’s Vitality attacks using cultivation techniques.

It was just like someone who had never cultivated an Earth Level technique. Although his realm had reached the advanced level of the second tier, perhaps any person who had cultivated an Earth level martial art technique even at the low level of second tier could take him down easily.

This was equivalent to the physical condition representing the upper limit, and the Earth Level martial art technique representing the lower limit.

As for Earth Level techniques, they were famous for being difficult to cultivate. They often required a very long time to enter the next progress bar.

Due to time constraints, the old citizens did not cultivate as long as the new citizens, and their corresponding combat strength was weaker.

The elimination round was a little slower than Zhao Yu had expected. Each round would take nearly five days to complete. More than eight hundred people would have to compete three times before they could enter the top hundred.

Zhao Yu’s first opponent had also been chosen by drawing lots. It was a new citizen at the his level. Coincidentally, it was someone he knew, Li Ping An.

Zhao Yu could not be bothered to waste any more time. He directly found Li Ping An and asked him to admit defeat when the time came.

As for him, he said he wasn’t going to fight him.

Li Ping An had been beaten up by Zhao Yu before. Coupled with his ruthless performance, he had long been afraid of Zhao Yu. Naturally, he expressed that it was not a problem.

Meeting an acquaintance in the first round could be said to have saved Zhao Yu some time.

This meant that he could return in the second round undamaged which was ten days later.

During this period, he could still raise his strength.

However, this time, other than the Seventh Grandad, the other four people accompanying him were all middle-aged men over the age of 50.

This was because Wang Yan Ran and the others were also participating in the competition, so they had changed people at the last minute.

The new middle-aged man, in terms of strength, wasn’t inferior to Wang Yan Ran and the others. Although the four of them were only at the intermediate level of the second tier, the cultivation progress of their earth level martial art was very high.

Their hunting speed was actually 30% faster than when Wang Yan Ran and the others.

However, even if time was tight, Zhao Yu still did not start hunting. Instead, he chose to finish the job.

He seemed to have made up his mind that he only wanted to push his level and not actual combat experience.

Little did the people around him know that these so-called experiences were not very meaningful to Zhao Yu. With the Super Brain, his combat skills were almost at the max level..
