“Aren't those five members of the Ultimate Boxing Dojo in Ninghai City?”

“To some extent, yes. Although information is not yet available, based on past instances, these people were born in Ninghai City. They subsequently followed their fathers and forefathers to other places or provincial cities, but their household registration records are still in Ninghai City. Therefore, they are eligible to participate in the competition.”

“Can't they ban them?”

“Yes, but it's not necessary. After all, all of us are collectively citizens of China. As long as they follow the rules and rely on their own capabilities to win, it is also considered a fortuitous encounter for them.”

At this point of the conversation, the ferocious-looking instructor shook his head at Lin Yao.

“What's wrong?”

“It's nothing.”

‘The foreigners are here to compete for resources, but people like you guys, who are groomed locally, may not necessarily stay here as well.'

This was the thought on Instructor Tu Hong's mind, but he didn't express it aloud.

At the same time, a thought suddenly popped in his mind, and he glanced in the direction of No. 1 High School. The corners of his mouth formed a smile.

“They can indeed participate in the competition, as they have registered households here. However, their roots are not in Ninghai City, and I'm 100% sure they won't stay here. Thus, the city won't be willing to give them resources.”

At that moment, Lin Yao also understood something.

‘No. 1 High School occupies most of the resources of Ninghai City. That school is also the one that has received the most rewards during past competitions, so they won't allow others to steal the food in their bowls. This also concerns the reputation of No. 1 High School. If they are beaten badly by foreigners, the rich people and aristocrats in the city will no longer send their children to No. 1 High School. We're in for a good show this time.'

While Tu Hong and Lin Yao discovered that something was amiss, everyone else also sensed that something was wrong. Soon, the information of the five players from the Ultimate Boxing Dojo was investigated and placed on the table of the leader of No. 1 High School.

“These five people are all from Tianyun City in the Yizhou Province, where the headquarters of the Ultimate Boxing Dojo are located.

“All five of them are advanced martial artists, but each of them has already increased their physical realm to beyond 100%.”

According to the information that Lin Yao got from the Internet, one would be able to advance to a Silver Person after one's physical realm reached Iron Person 100%.

After the advancement, the martial artist's physical body would become stronger and their life span would increase. The most talented people might even awaken some special abilities.

However, there was no guarantee that they would awaken special abilities after advancing to 100%. At the same time, in order to develop their foundation to the fullest, some people would choose to continue increasing their physical strength as they advanced.

This was an effective way. The deeper the foundation, the higher the chances of activating their talent would be. The greater they benefited from the advancement, the smoother their future would be.

The five members of the Ultimate Boxing Dojo obviously had this plan in mind. Wrong. Everyone would choose this path so long as the conditions were in their favor.

In addition, although they had not advanced or become a Silver Person, their physical strength had improved. They could certainly rely on their powerful basic attributes and the profound meaning of their moves to fight against individuals of higher levels.

‘Three out of the five are easier to deal with. Although they are strong, they are intermediate martial artists. However, the sibling pair, Du Ming and Du Zhuang, are different. They have defeated warlords before.'

They were martial artists, yet they had defeated warlords before. They could fight against someone of a higher level and thus shouldn't be underestimated.

However, these people didn't have anything to do with Lin Yao. They were something that No. 1 High School and the city leaders had to deal with.

After taking a glance at the five people from the Ultimate Boxing Dojo, Lin Yao stretched himself and waited for the outcome of the battle.

He didn't have to wait long. At around 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the team competition in the arena was finally over.

What left Lin Yao speechless was that another dojo had actually defeated the first one. This time, without Tu Hong saying anything, Lin Yao knew it was a dojo from Tianyun City again.

“10 people actually came. That's a fairly large number.”

As soon as he heard this, Tu Hong sneered.

“How can there be only 10 people?”

Upon seeing the puzzled look on Lin Yao's face, he explained with a smile, “Although they have household registers in Ninghai City and can participate in the competition, the team competition requires participants to form teams of five. Most of the foreigners are unable to find teammates. Therefore, many of the elite geniuses will participate in individual competitions on their own.”

“According to you, many people from our small city have become successful after leaving this place. We can call this a place propitious for giving birth to great men.”

“What nonsense. After hearing the news, most of these people utilized power and ways to obtain household registers so that they could participate in the competition.”

After all, everyone was a citizen of China. Ninghai City couldn't ban applications for household registers made by others, and the country would not specifically target them either.

Based on Tu Hong's words, Lin Yao had already figured out something. It was common knowledge and practice for elite geniuses to convert their household registers in order to participate in competitions in other places to obtain rewards.

At the same time, Lin Yao also discovered some hidden rules. Due to the requirements of the country, some time was needed to convert the household register, and the household register couldn't be changed repeatedly. Therefore, even rich people from big cities could only choose one place to participate in competitions. This was unlike Lin Yao's initial thought that they could convert their household registers and move to other places immediately after the competition.

‘Although they can only come to one place, this has increased the number of opponents for me.'

Upon seeing Lin Yao frowning, Tu Hong consoled him. “Don't worry, competitions between geniuses are typically held in every city. The foreigners from a city similar to ours won't come here. Those who come are usually from our provincial capital, but they have local competitions there as well, and the rewards are even greater than ours. The truly confident ones will join the provincial capital competition. They won't come to this small place.”

As soon as the instructor said this, Lin Yao understood that those who converted their household registers to join competitions were typically not powerhouses.

At the same time, Lin Yao also spied on the rewards of the provincial capital competition.

However, he was only slightly tempted by them. When it came to both the individual and team competition, Lin Yao was not confident about clinching the championship of the city competition, let alone the provincial capital ones.

Lin Yao also had a doubt in his mind. “Are all the places in China under territorial protection?”

“Of course not. This place is poor and doesn't have specialty products, so others are not willing to come here. We save all the good stuff for locals because we want to retain their talents. This is so that you guys will want to remain in your hometown as much as possible after you grow up.”

“But not all places in China are poor. Shanghai, Beijing, and Chongqing… You've heard of these big cities, right? People will either go to Beijing, places that have good connections with the outside world, or places with many mystic realms around them. There is no shortage of people in these places. As a result, these areas don't really care that much about territorial protection.” At that moment, Instructor Tu Hong seemed to think of something. He hurriedly said, “The three big cities, Shanghai, Beijing, and Chongqing, will also hold youth competitions annually, and their competitions are not restricted to that region. Anyone can participate in them as long as they are a Chinese citizen. If you are confident, you can participate in them in a few months.”

“There are no restrictions at all? Thank you for the reminder, Instructor. I won't forget you if I benefit from this.”

“You're still thinking of the rewards. This is a competition open to all the youths in the country and a great competition for the younger generation. There will be king-level rewards at such a competition. Thus, rich and powerful families, aristocrats, and royal heirs will participate in them. As for the rewards… It's good to widen your horizons even if you don't get any.”

Tu Hong obviously didn't believe that Lin Yao could get a ranking. His words were also very demoralizing. However, after pondering it for a moment, Lin Yao realized that Tu Hong was right. If the rich and powerful families, as well as royal heirs, were taking part in the competition, the odds of Lin Yao winning would be minimal.

While feeling dejected about the gap between him and the true geniuses, Lin Yao followed the team and walked outside.

As all of them lived in Ninghai City, the team parted ways once they exited the stadium.

Looking up at the darker sky, Lin Yao sighed. “What a pity. I can no longer practice today.”

When the sky turned dark, the energy stored in the Sun God Pattern on Lin Yao's chest was still full. He had been using the light energy stored in his body cells, as there was abundant energy there. However, this light energy had been dissipating. Simultaneously, the Light Adjustment had been functioning. While it was refining Lin Yao's body, it was also consuming the power of light.

If tomorrow was a bright and sunny day, Lin Yao wouldn't be bothered about the power of light. Even if he spent all his money, he could make a comeback. However, tomorrow was a rainy day. In order to conserve his combat power for tomorrow's competition, he didn't even engage in any vigorous activities, let alone train. He was worried that the light energy in his body would dissipate too quickly and he wouldn't be able to activate the Body of Light tomorrow.

Although he was cautious, he didn't skip the trip to the orphanage. After the competition, he returned to the orphanage to play with the children for a while… No, it was to study. Those children were being taught by the teachers hired by Lin Yao, while Lin Yao studied hard electromagnetism.

Now, Lin Yao could no longer regard the orphanage as a pure energy-harvesting machine but a spiritual harbor.

It was not that Lin Yao had given up on this place. Thanks to the financial investment, the orphanage was on the right track. However, there was not much else that Lin Yao could contribute. Since he couldn't help others, he naturally couldn't get any Avedhvasa energy.

Of course, it was not totally pointless. As a big brother comforting the hearts of those children, Lin Yao would also attain energy points, but the quantum was negligible. There were only about 10 points a day.

‘This orphanage is already on the right track. I'll have to go to other orphanages if I want to get more energy points easily. However, I don't have enough money, and it won't help much if I go to other orphanages. I'd rather prepare to win competitions and then cooperate with the dojos to strike it rich afterward.

‘Speaking of this, should I set up a charity organization?'

Restricted by the impending rain tomorrow, Lin Yao thought of setting up a charity organization. However, many people, including No. 2 High School and No. 3 High School, which had been inexplicably defeated, felt very troubled tonight. They felt that they were down on their luck. In addition, many of the instructors of No. 1 High School were analyzing the strength of the foreigners.

As the influential big shots of the place, subduing the talented and courageous foreigners was something they had to do. Otherwise, No. 1 High School might not be able to attract and recruit geniuses when the school reopened, and the school leaders would also be punished.

In addition to the major forces, many families and individuals also went to bed late. They were studying the videos of the participants and contemplating ways to defeat them.

Amongst them, the Yan Family was the gravest. The young miss of the family had been defeated by someone below her martial arts level. Furthermore, she had been beaten with a single move, which had made the entire family lose face.

Fortunately, Lin Yao's subsequent victories had saved them a lot of face. At the very least, the Yan Family could say that it was not the fault of their young miss. It was because Lin Yao was too strong.

In the middle of the night, the family head of the Yan Family was away from home. On the other hand, the beautiful young woman was waiting with her eyes closed in an upscale private hospital in the city.

Her daughter was being treated at this place. Although her daughter was seriously injured, this beautiful young woman had a cold, aloof expression on her face.

However, the gaze in her eyes was no longer that indifferent, and one could tell that she was not in a good mood.

The waiting time was not very long. 10 minutes later, Yan Yu'er, who had been hit in the chest by the sword and had suffered countless broken bones, had completely recovered.

Her sober face no longer had that calm, bubbly look she had sported during her conversation with Yan Yan. Her smile had also disappeared, replaced by a look of resentment and hatred.

“I want to kill him. I must kill…”

Bam—
