"There's no need for the celebration party. After all, we still don't know who will be selected later, so let's get down to business first."

Just when the atmosphere was just right, a voice sounded.

Ying Lie's smile froze, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Others didn't expect anyone to dare to contradict the city lord in public, and they didn't think much of them.

He couldn't help but look towards the sound with a hint of annoyance.

But when they discovered that the person who had just spoken was the man standing at the head of the trial court, everyone immediately lowered their heads.

"I said the people in the trial court have such bad tempers, but it turns out it's Sui Gen."

Firefox muttered quietly.

But to Wu Ming's ears, why did he feel a little gloating about his misfortune?

The atmosphere was awkward for a while.

The leader of the Arbitration Tribunal, "Ice Demon", first looked towards the Night Watch Division.

After discovering the "magic arrow", he looked at his nose and his nose at his heart, acting as if it had nothing to do with him.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out to smooth things over:

"Ahem, the City Lord did this to encourage these brats, but what Brother Wei said makes sense. How about we select first and then attend the celebration banquet? What do you think, City Lord?"

The "Ice Demon" looked at the city lord Ying Lie carefully with his eyes open for questioning.

Unlike others, both the Night Watch Division and the Judgment Office could deny Ying Lie face, but he could not.

Because the supreme ruler of the arbitration tribunal is a member of the Ying family.

Just one word, and you will have countless little shoes for you to wear every minute.

Therefore, if you want to get along with others, you must not offend them.

After Ying Lie heard this, he said expressionlessly to the people under his hands:

"Go to the martial arts arena."

After saying that, he glanced in the direction of the trial court and hummed softly.

"Ice Demon" saw this and showed a helpless smile.

Soon, everyone was taken to an extremely spacious courtyard.

Wu Ming mingled among the team, his eyes habitually glanced around and landed on the huge arena in the center of the courtyard.

The entire arena is square in shape and is made of bluestone. It is 20 meters long and 20 meters high.

Fortunately, the city lord's mansion occupies a large enough area.

At this time, simple stands have been set up and tables and chairs placed high around the ring.

There are also plates of exquisite snacks, fruits and tea thoughtfully placed on it.

The city lord led the people who did not need to be selected and sat down at the main seat first.

The arena below is completely included in the eyes, and the line of sight is just right.

Due to limited space, only masters are eligible to sit.

Other arbitration tribunals, courts or night watchmen can only find a place to stand by themselves.

They have no dissatisfaction with this "differential treatment" and feel that it is natural.

In this world, if you want to gain the respect of others, you must speak with strength.

"Haha, I heard that the Arbitration Tribunal has produced many good talents in the past two years. It seems that Brother Ice Demon has a good eye for talent and has done a good job in cultivating them!

"I will report to the headquarters then and I will put in a good word for Brother 'Ice Demon'."

City Lord Ying Lie glanced at the people participating in the selection in the arena below, turned to look to his side, and regained his smile.

Not to mention that the other party just gave him a chance, the "Ice Demon" alone is worthy of his win over as the speaker of the Licheng Arbitration Tribunal.

Ying Lie knew very well that if he wanted to secure his position as city lord among many competitors, he must have reliable subordinates under his command.

"Thank you very much, Lord City Lord!"

The "Ice Demon" was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked him profusely.

While several big shots were chatting happily, the smell of gunpowder could not be concealed beside the ring.

Like the Night Watch Division, this time there were three members from the arbitration tribunal and the trial court.

The nine people stood clearly in three directions, looking at each other with hostility in their eyes.

"Oh, is the Night Watch Division here for a beauty pageant this year? I wonder if it's a silver-like pewter spear head, which looks good but is useless."

At this time, in the direction of the arbitration tribunal, a tall young man with freckles on his face smiled.

His eyes flickered back and forth between the faces of Wu Ming and "Yue Rabbit", with no trace of mockery on their faces.

Nicknamed "Wooden Puppet", the young man is second only to "Ripper" among all the elites in the Arbitration Tribunal.

However, in terms of age, "Wooden Puppet" is two years younger than "Ripper".

Therefore, in terms of talent, young people are still superior to each other.

No wonder he said that, mainly because Wu Ming and "Moon Rabbit" look so stunning.

Compared with a few others, he stands out from the crowd.

It's hard to stop feeling jealous.

Wu Mingzheng was thinking about how to take action later so that he could be selected without hurting others.

After all, with his current strength, he can almost kill a kid with one knife.

It would be funny if he accidentally beat someone to death.

When he heard someone provoking someone, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, then simply said two words:

"Ugly rejection."

Poof!

I saw three people standing in the direction of the trial court, two women and one man.

The leading woman looked to be in her twenties, with a graceful figure but an extremely ordinary face.

A pair of round and straight thighs is quite eye-catching.

Standing next to him was a short-haired girl who looked younger than Wu Ming and had lively eyes.

The young man had a dark complexion and was over 1.9 meters tall. He took off his white trench coat at some point and his arms were bare.

It was the short-haired girl who laughed out loud just now.

"Wooden Puppet"'s face darkened, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he sneered:

"Okay, okay, I hope you can say this again later."

Just as he was about to continue uttering harsh words, an old man wearing plain robes came to the ring and spoke slowly:

"The selection will begin soon. This year's selection method will be... defense."

"Defense?"

Wu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.

Others also muttered in low voices, as if they didn't expect it to be this way.

Without giving them time to think, the old man continued:

"As long as someone defends a game or wins a challenge, they can be successfully selected. There is no restriction on the use of magical items during this period. Of course, potions that can enhance strength in a short period of time are not allowed.

“The more wins, the better the results.”

Having said this, the old man paused and glanced at several people meaningfully:

"A reminder to you, this time the results will be recorded truthfully, which is related to the degree of attention you receive in the future, the degree of resource allocation and your future status.

"As for how big the gap is, I believe you will understand it when you arrive at the headquarters."

Those present were all smart people, so they naturally understood the importance of grades mentioned by the old man.

Maybe just by winning one more game, the treatment in the future will be completely different.

When the old man stepped down from the ring and announced that he could start at any time, several people couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Because whoever enters the ring first means that his or her trump card will be exposed prematurely and will be easily targeted by the next opponent.
