Yarrow's expression stiffened, but he still explained, "Fade is quite talented in martial arts."
"Not long ago, he defeated Lingo and Raul of the Loh family. Many people saw that scene."
Deniz shook his head and said, "Raul is only at Stage 6 of the Soul Refine Realm. He's not bad on normal days, but he's not good enough for the City Contest."
As soon as the words left his mouth, quite a few members of the Gu family nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, those who participate in the City Contest are all geniuses amongst the younger generation. Stage 6 of the Soul Refine Realm is nothing!"
"At the very least, he needs to be at Stage 7 of the Soul Refine Realm to be qualified to participate!"
"That is just the entry qualification. Everyone who participates in the tournament has reached Stage 8 of the Soul Refine Realm. For example, Tyreece Lu of the Martial Arts School of South Van Academy, Arian and Subhan of the Loh family, Madam Tu's granddaughter, Evelyne, and even Masie, the daughter of Mr. Goo, the number one genius of South Van City."
"That's right. Even Alyx, Uzair and Beatrice from our Gu family are all geniuses at Stage 8 of the Soul Refine Realm!"
Amidst the discussions, Deniz's face was filled with pride. He glanced at Yarrow and said, "Fade's strength is really not enough!"
"Therefore, I suggest canceling his qualification to participate in the City Contest on behalf of our Gu family. Please approve my request!"
After saying that, he bowed to Devin.
Devin looked thoughtful. After thinking for a while, he said slowly, "Yarrow, from all aspects, Fade is indeed not suitable for the City Contest. I think it's better to choose another person."
"Mr. Devin, this is the quota for my family tribe..." Yarrow was so agitated that he wanted to explain himself.
Devin waved his hand and said faintly, "I don't mean to deprive you of your quota. I just want you to change your candidate."
"You can choose other suitable martial artists to participate in the tournament. Of course, if there is no suitable candidate, you can still choose from within the Gu family."
His words sounded pleasant, but Yarrow knew what they meant.
It was clear that Devin wanted to take the opportunity to take back the quota and once again suppress the power of Talmon's family line.
After all, the City Contest was to begin the next day. They would not have the time to look for another martial artist who was suitable for the tournament.
"Mr. Devin, the matter of Fade's participation has been determined long ago. The tournament is approaching, I don't think it's right to cancel his participation at the last minute," Yarrow said.
Devin snorted and looked displeased.
Deniz took the opportunity to sow discord. "Yarrow, are you
questioning Master Devin's decision?"
"I'm not..." Yarrow quickly denied.
However, at this moment, a loud shout came from outside the Gu family hall.
"So what if he's questioning him?"
A figure, like a phantom, entered the Gu family's hall.
In an instant, everyone looked at him.
When the crowd saw the man's face clearly, the expression on their faces became strange.
"Talmon!"
"Isn't he cultivating in seclusion? Why did he come out?"
"This guy has a weird temper. Something big is going to happen."
There was dead silence.
When Yarrow saw the arrival ofTalmon, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a hurry, "Uncle, they want to terminate Fade's participation in the City Contest."
Talmon nodded and replied, "I know."
Then, he looked towards Devin with a serious face and asked directly, "Is that your decision?"
Devin narrowed his eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "This is the result after the family's discussion."
"No matter how we look at it, Fade is not suitable to participate in the City Contest."
"Whether he is suitable or not is not up to you to decide!" Talmon said coldly.
Devin laughed softly and said, "Indeed, it's not up to me alone to decide whether he is suitable or not. However, it's not up to you alone to decide either."
"Just now, everyone had discussed Fade's abilities. He's indeed a genius when it comes to refining medicine, but unfortunately, the City Contest is about martial arts. Therefore..."
Before Devin could finish, Talmon snorted and said, "Who said Fade is not capable in martial arts?"
"Everyone is well aware of this matter. Mr. Talmon, are you going to be persistent?" Someone questioned.
Talmon glanced at that person. After which, he snorted coldly and said, "I am not persistent. It's just that your information is too outdated."
"You're saying that Fade is not strong in martial arts, but you have no idea what happened just recently."
"When Fade was in South Yan Academy, he fought with five of the Martial Arts School's genius students alone. Recently, he defeated them all and returned after victory."
"How can you say that this kind of genius martial artist is not qualified? It's ridiculous!"
When these words were spoken, quite a few
Gu family members revealed looks of shock.
"One against five, and he still could win? Is this true?"
"Mr. Talmon, don't talk nonsense!"
"The students from the Martial Arts School of South Van Academy are not all that strong anyway."
Talmon snorted and said, "At that time, the students whom Fade defeated in the arena included Hamish, Rogin, Febriani, Leonard, and Bogdan. They are all top 20 students in the South Van Academy Martial Arts School, even in the top ten."
"How can such Martial Arts School students not be considered as geniuses?"
