The King of Urban Mercenaries

Mid-stage Nascent Soul, simply can’t match Lin Fei, was directly punched by Lin Fei, retreating incessantly until crashing into the iron cage, finally stopping.

"We surrender!" The burly man immediately shouted, then hurriedly checked on his demon beast.

Defeating this demon beast, Lin Fei nearly swept all challenges in Aotian City. After all, Lin Fei had already observed that this demon beast was currently the most powerful, unmatched by ordinary people, so victory was in sight for Lin Fei.

In the final match, Lin Fei won. The three slots were, indeed, all occupied by familiar faces: Yurong, Li Kuang, and Lin Fei. Li Kuang was just defeated by Lin Fei, the master of the ape. Although Yurong’s demon beast was heavily injured, Yurong had a more formidable beast, a bear, though he wouldn’t dare act rashly in front of Lin Fei.

These three will represent Aotian City to proceed to the Imperial Capital of the Kingdom of Aolai for the final selection. Three people will be chosen; the winners will compete in beast fighting at Qianhuang Peak and possibly become the pride of the nation, paving the way for greater prospects. Many are eagerly anticipating this.

At this time, Li Kuang approached Lin Fei, speaking, "Brother, are you confident in getting a slot this time?"

Lin Fei smiled, "There will surely be a slot for me, as for the others, you can fight for them however you wish."

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s domineering response, Li Kuang gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Brother, you’re indeed impressive, then I can only fight for the other two slots. Hope I succeed."

"Hmph! Such ignorance, the palace is full of experts, I fear none of us will get a slot," Yurong said coldly.

Lin Fei directly ignored this, while Li Kuang smiled, "Let’s not be too pessimistic; after all, we are the elites chosen by Aotian City. We shouldn’t lose heart first."

Hearing Li Kuang’s words, Yurong didn’t wish to say more, snorted coldly, and ignored Li Kuang.

Since that’s the case, Li Kuang also said nothing more. After all, what’s needed now is a competition of strength, not words.

Soon, several people were summoned by the City Lord, but it was just for a meal, and then the City Lord left, busy with his matters. In the City Lord’s eyes, although these people were impressive, they weren’t yet worthy of a proper reception.

Afterward, the three were sent to the Imperial Capital.

Upon arriving at Aolai City, the Imperial Capital of the Kingdom of Aolai, Lin Fei and his companions marveled at the grand and magnificent city walls. Once inside the city, they were greeted with a bustling scene.

As the saying goes, there’s no harm without comparison. Seeing this scene, Lin Fei realized that Aotian City was at least three to four times inferior to Aolai City.

Finally, upon reaching the Imperial City, their treatment wasn’t very favorable. It seemed that the people in the Imperial Capital of the Kingdom of Aolai had a natural sense of superiority, appearing to look down on people from other cities.

Lin Fei didn’t feel anything from this; as long as he could secure a slot, that was enough for him. Lin Fei had no other requirements, so no unpleasant incidents occurred.

Finally, after some time, the day of the competition began. The King of the Kingdom of Aolai personally watched, which indeed excited the heart, for the King himself spectating was an extraordinary fortune.

However, Lin Fei and his companions did not expect that they weren’t allowed to compete?!

The official in charge of them said, "You few wait until after the competition to leave the Imperial Capital."

"What? What do you mean?!" Li Kuang asked.

"You know what it means. People from Aotian City are not qualified to participate in this competition; it’s reserved for the royal family. Your presence is merely for show, to create a positive image among the people of both cities. Everything else is irrelevant," the official said.

Hearing this, the three instantly understood why the City Lord was indifferent to them. It turned out that they were just an excuse, a motivation for the people, to forge a good image between the two cities. Everything else was insignificant.

So the royal family had its own agenda, ensuring their descendants moved towards a more promising future, considering no one else. They certainly didn’t want their commoners to surpass their status.

This created the current situation.

The official closed the door, and Lin Fei fell into thought, while Yurong sighed, "Just as expected, everything the predecessors said was true. Perhaps a hundred years from now, someone will be like us. But..."

At this moment, Yurong looked at Lin Fei, "Didn’t someone say a slot was already reserved? Why not stay put right here?"

"Yurong, can’t you say less? We’re in this together now, no need for sarcastic remarks. We should think about what to do, can’t go back empty-handed, right?"

"Why not? We’ve indeed come for nothing, better to let it be. Obey the orders, maybe the royal family, in a good mood, will give us a small reward. Let’s leave it up to fate," Yurong commented.

Li Kuang had no more solutions; he looked at Lin Fei and said, "Seems like that’s all we can do."

Lin Fei smiled helplessly, then stood up and walked into the distance.

"What are you going to do?" Li Kuang asked.

Lin Fei smiled, "Of course, I’m going to compete. Why else are we here? Certainly not to sit here waiting to leave, right?"

"But, the King has given orders!" Li Kuang said.

Lin Fei shook his head, "The King did order so, but what order did we receive? To compete, not to hide here and let them look down on us."

Hearing this, Li Kuang fell silent, but Yurong said, "You alone want to oppose a country? That’s suicidal!"

Lin Fei nodded, "You guys don’t follow, or you’ll get implicated. Not good." After saying this, Lin Fei walked directly outside, but found the door locked upon reaching it.

"Indeed, they really locked it, meaning they truly don’t want us to participate," Lin Fei sighed.

Yet, the more it was like this, the less Lin Fei would retreat. He stretched out his hand, True Qi flowing, and then struck fiercely at the door.

Boom!

The entire door was blasted away by Lin Fei’s palm, landing in the distance, alerting other guards who began rushing over.

"Let’s go, Hou Qitian, Xiaodao," Lin Fei said to the two standing nearby.
