Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1673

Among them, one group of people who followed Liza and Narumi were obviously the people who supported them. The other group followed closely behind Kento, so they were naturally the people who supported the Akao family.

Among those people, Fade even saw Genkiro, whom he had been investigating. He was the leader of the Hachi Clan of Osko City. Now that he had gone to Kento, it could be said that he had provided the Akao Family with an extraordinary boost of strength.

The third faction would be the neutral faction that had nothing to do with either of them. In other words, they would only decide on their stand after watching the performance of the ceremony that day. The people of all three factions entered the ancestral temple and they were clearly separated. People led by Liza and the Akao family glared at each other, and the atmosphere was tense, as if they could start a fight at any time.

The neutral faction seemed to be much quieter as they secretly observed the movements of both sides and schemed in their hearts.

After everyone stood still, the sacrificial rituals began.

An elder who held a variety of tokens in hand and spoke the Jopeno language, in which Fade didn't understand a word, ordered people from the three factions to kneel and pay respect.

The ceremonies went on one after another, and the ancestral hall was silent. Although Fade didn't know what they were talking about, he had a general understanding of what was going on.

The main purpose of the ceremony was to pay respect to all the chiefs and people who had contributed greatly ever since the establishment of the Hachi Clan 80 years ago. Of course, there were also various important events that needed to be commemorated.

It was already 11.30 AM after the complicated and traditional formal ceremony ended.

Everyone left the ancestral hall and had lunch together in the living room.

The atmosphere at lunch was quite solemn as well, and everything they ate was cold and vegan. The purpose of the lunch was not to enjoy food, but to show respect and commemoration. After a simple lunch, everyone returned to their rooms to rest for an hour at noon. They would gather at the martial arts arena located at the general headquarters in the afternoon. Gathering at the arena, all the important members of the Hachi Clan had also changed into their warrior uniforms worn in the morning, and the atmosphere gradually heated up. The members who were not in the Hachi Clan finally revealed a trace of excitement on their faces.

That was because everyone knew that the commemoration and sacrificial ritual in the morning were only ceremonies. The highlight of the day would be the duel in the afternoon. After all, it was an important battle that would determine the future master of the Hachi Clan.

After everyone arrived, the elder who was in charge of the morning ceremony appeared once again and explained the rules to everyone present. He then looked at Liza and Kento's factions, reminding them that it should only be a friendly match and a chance for the internal martial artists of the Hachi Clan to learn and improve.

However, everyone knew that these words were just insinuations on the surface. This duel was the best chance for the Akao family and Liza to show their strengths and attract the support of the neutral faction. After going through some general words, he officially announced the start of the duel.

Liza started off by sending an intermediate young warrior of the Black Level to enter the battlefield, and the Akao family sent a similar warrior to fight him as well.

The two of them fought a heated and intense battle; their skills and abilities were excellent. In the end, the warrior on Liza's side was defeated after nearly half an hour of fighting hard.

There was a sudden round of warm applause from the Akao family's side. At Liza's end, everyone's expressions changed slightly, but there were not too many disappointed faces.

That was because everyone knew that these little fighters were just testing the waters, and the real battle had yet to begin.

Next, both sides continuously sent their representatives to fight in battles. Almost all of those contestants were of the same age and on similar tiers. They initially started from the intermediate stage of the Black Level, and along with the increase in the contestants' strength, they slowly entered the peak stage of the Black Level.

It was actually a process where both sides competed and tested the young contestants and their strength reserves, which could also be regarded as a demonstration of the basic strength

of both sides.

There were a total of eight matches. In the end, the Akao Family had a slight win as they won five rounds while Liza's side only had three wins.

As the competition went on, the scene grew livelier.

That was especially true for those who were sitting on the fence in the Hachi Clan and the others from other underground organizations. They could gauge the strength of the two factions based on the contestants' performance, and thus choose a side.

Now, the result of the contest showed that the Akao family had the upper hand.

Thus, the smiles on Kento and Taira's faces could not be hidden.

On the other hand, Eichi had a gloomy face and a complicated expression. Narumi's face was devoid of emotions at this moment, and one couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

After eight rounds, Kento said, "Narumi, those were just small fights. Those who are not at the Earth Level can't be considered experts. Why don't we send out Earth Level masters? That would be interesting." As he spoke, Kento sent out a contestant who was at the early stage of the Earth Level.

Seeing this, Narumi slightly narrowed his eyes and said, "Happy to oblige."

Followed by that, their team sent out another early-staged Earth Level contestant.

As soon as the two Earth Level masters stepped on stage, the atmosphere was immediately stirred up.

That was because everyone knew that the real highlight was coming. The former Black Level experts could be said to be the power reserves of the two factions. The real decisive force was undoubtedly the Earth Level masters.

It was possible for an Earth Level master to casually deal with more than ten or even tens of Black Level experts.

Moreover, the number of Earth Level masters wasn't as many as the number of Black Level experts. The number and quality of the Earth Level masters of both sides would undoubtedly determine their true battle prowess.

The two Earth Level masters went into the ring and immediately began their intense fight without saying a word.

Dust flew in the air, and their strength rumbled. Their fight was particularly fierce. The strength shown was obviously more interesting than that of the previous experts in the Black Level. The atmosphere at the scene was brought to life in an instant.

After an intense battle, the representative from Liza's side finally won by a narrow margin.

The duel continued. However, what was different from the previous duel was that this time, the Earth Level masters didn't fight one on one. Instead, they fought in succession until one faction who didn't have enough contestants was forced to surrender.

Therefore, Liza's Earth Level master did not step down and continued standing in the ring to fight with the second Earth Level master from the Akao family.

This time the result spoke for itself. As Liza's contestant was too tired in the first round, he was soon defeated.

The second contestant immediately followed.

Just like that, both sides constantly sent their people into fighting. The fighting on the scene grew more vigorous and slowly turned tragic. In the beginning, the defeated contestants were only injured. But now, i was common for the defeated contestants to have fractured arms and legs; it was even possible for their dantians to be destroyed.

At this point, it could be said that both sides were truly enraged, and were fighting a bloody battle.
