Hearing Fatty's words, Yang Yan finally stopped reading, raised his head, squinted, and asked.
As if he had received a satisfactory answer, the smile on Fatty's face beca even more radiant.
He nodded heavily and continued to say:
"Not only have a lot co, but the ones who have co are all big shots. I recognize several groups."
Yang Yan asked with keen interest:
"Tell , who's here?"
Fatty counted on his greasy fingers and said:
"The Dragon Division of Huaxia's Eight Divisions, the Zhuge Family, Dragon Tiger Mountain, and even people from the Heaven and Earth Society have co."
"Hehe! These guys are never pushovers. Not to ntion the fact that the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram has appeared this ti."
"Honestly, even if you told people from Kunlun were here, I wouldn't be surprised."
Yang Yan shook his head, saying lightly.
"Wow, boss, you're really sothing!"
Fatty stared wide-eyed, looking at Yang Yan as if he were an alien, and asked in shock:
"How did you know people from Kunlun ca? Could it be that you're already strong enough to sense things at the seaside from here?"
"Did the Kunlun people really co?"
Hearing Fatty's words, Yang Yan was also taken aback.
"Yes! People from Kunlun have arrived."
Fatty nodded heavily and said seriously:
"Moreover, they are here as referees!"
"But, last night I saw a few young guys. I wonder if they're here to compete too."
"Whoa! That's quite a bold move!"
Yang Yan muttered to himself while closing the laptop in his hand.
"Boss, can you give a hint? Do you have confidence facing people from Kunlun?"
Fatty asked with eager anticipation.
"Guess."
Yang Yan gave Fatty a sidelong glance, then said:
"Have you finished eating? If so, we should get going. The competition is probably about to start."
In the center of the island, several grand structures similar to Roman amphitheaters had already been built.
And the stands around were already filled with people.
It's no wonder.
Although the ti since the leak about this competition wasn't long, these are people from the Hidden World.
They have many ways to reach a place quickly if they wish.
Moreover, with a full two days to travel, it's more than enough.
"Sir, there are still too many people here this ti. If anything unexpected happens, I fear with our manpower we won't be able to control the entire scene."
Outside the competition venue, a man in a tailcoat spoke to another man with a proud deanor, dressed in a black suit.
If Yang Yan were here now, he would imdiately recognize that the man at the forefront was Saraf, the head of the Blazing Angels.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Saraf also said with so helplessness:
"Originally, I wanted to retrieve the Lance of Longinus from the Heaven and Earth Society, but I didn't expect things to develop to this point. Just like the old Eastern saying goes, 'Man proposes, but God disposes!'"
The man standing behind Saraf suddenly snorted coldly and said disdainfully:
"Hmph! Those fallen creatures wanting a piece of the pie, how ridiculous!"
"If it weren't for the orders from above to get the Lance of Longinus first, we would have judged those fallen beings long ago."
In the distance, another tall and handso figure appeared:
"Don't rush, this era is not the sa as our previous tis."
"The current era is full of variables. Often, we think we are fully prepared, yet in the end, it becos difficult to control."
"Just like an ancient Eastern proverb—Gotta have patience. Rushing doesn't help."
Saraf waved his hand and said coldly:
"Alright, enough of the useless talk. Go and get ready! We must win this competition."
...
"Why hasn't that doctor arrived yet? Is he too scared to co?"
At the entrance to the competition venue, Chao Liang, Golden Cauldron, and Situ Tingting had already appeared at the draw lots area.
Having waited for a long ti, Chao Liang, who was already impatient, couldn't help but complain.
"Shut up! No one will mistake you for a mute if you don't speak. Also, if you hadn't been so disrespectful yesterday, Dr. Yang wouldn't have left."
Before Golden Cauldron could speak, Situ Tingting couldn't help but scold.
For so reason, even though she had only been with Yang Yan for a few days, she just felt that Yang Yan was not the kind of petty person Chao Liang described.
Moreover, Situ Tingting found herself increasingly disliking Chao Liang, whom she grew up with as childhood friends.
"Hey! Fatty, what's the situation here? It looks just like a small town!"
"Look over there, they even have shops. Are these guys planning to stay here permanently?"
Yang Yan and Fatty were walking towards the competition venue.
After seeing the surrounding buildings, he asked with so confusion.
"Hehe! You probably didn't know, but this competition won't be finished in just a day or two. It might take up to a whole week!"
"And those opening shops here don't have any other intentions, just trying to earn a living."
"You know, there are many people in the Hidden World who have a poor life."
"And recently, the Arbitration Committee wouldn't let them leave for the real world to make a living, which made their lives even harder."
"So, with such a great opportunity this ti, all these people ca here."
After Fatty's explanation, Yang Yan nodded knowingly and didn't ask further questions.
After all, he was present when the Arbitration Committee made this decision.
Moreover, although such restrictions also affected him significantly, deep down, he also thought the Arbitration Committee's decision was right.
"Here they co, here they co."
In the distance, Situ Tingting suddenly spotted Yang Yan's figure in the crowd and shouted while running toward him, overjoyed.
Golden Cauldron, seeing Yang Yan arriving, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't even notice Chao Liang beside him glaring at Situ Tingting with venomous eyes, his clenched fists trembling slightly.
"Why did you co so late? Do you know the competition is about to start? If it starts, we won't be able to register!"
As Situ Tingting ran closer, she seed to realize sothing and imdiately assud a dissatisfied look, puffing her cheeks in annoyance.
However, to Fatty, it just seed like she was being coquettish.
Of course, Yang Yan could also feel that Situ Tingting had no ill intentions.
He smiled lightly and said:
"Haha! Here I am, right? There should still be so ti before the competition starts, right?"
This made Fatty, who had suspected before, even more convinced that there was sothing going on between this man and woman in front of him.
So, he shouted smartly:
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
