The temptation behind gentleness

Chapter 1303 1303

As the host, Su Fan personally went to Yangcheng Airport to pick up Master Dawuti.

The two are opponents in the competition, but not enemies.

As the Underground Emperor of Yang City, Su Fan has enough grace.

Seeing Dawuti, Su Fan curiously asked, "Master Dawuti, why did you come so quickly?"

Dawuti smiled a bit awkwardly and said, "I have been closed-door practicing with Martial Arts Grandmasters from various places."

"This time, I happened to be in Yudi, so I flew straight here."

"Shall we spar today or tomorrow?"

Dawuti's Mandarin wasn't very good, but it was still understandable.

After he asked, Su Fan immediately said, "Today, I'll first welcome you, Master Dawuti, with a banquet. How about we spar tomorrow?"

Dawuti nodded and then said, "Master Su Fan, I prefer being alone, so there's no need for a banquet."

He came this time only wanting to have a fight with Su Fan, not to make friends with him.

Hearing this, Su Fan did not insist.

Su Fan said, "In that case, I'll escort Master Dawuti to the hotel for some rest."

The sparring between him and Dawuti is semi-public.

Anyone with an invitation can come to watch when the competition begins.

Su Fan left the task of sending out invitations entirely to the Yang City Martial Arts Association.

Many Martial Artists in Yang City and various local elites have basically all received invitations.

Compared to being well-known as the Chinese Medical Masters Competition, the Chinese Martial Arts Grandmasters Exchange's fame is relatively lower.

Among over seventy billion, even eighty billion people globally, the number of Martial Artists is only one percent or even less.

The affairs of Martial Artists are not very relevant to most ordinary people.

Thus, most ordinary people are unaware of this martial arts event.

Even so, as the president of the Yang City Martial Arts Association, Su Fan was about to face another Grandmaster, and the audience was still packed.

Those who received invitations, even if they didn't come personally, had other relatives present.

The Chinese Martial Arts Association also sent a Grandmaster to serve as the competition's referee.

The Martial Arts Grandmasters Exchange only divides by victory and defeat, not life and death.

Since it's a competition, not a life-or-death struggle, three matches in total will be fought.

When Su Fan and Master Dawuti arrived on the competition stage, the referee came between them and began to explain the rules.

This referee, named Lu Hao, is from the same clan as Grandmaster Lu Wusheng.

Lu Hao took out two palm-sized nameplates and said to Su Fan and Master Dawuti:

"Gentlemen, today's competition will consist of three matches, with no time limit, and weapons may be used."

"During the match, capturing the nameplate behind your opponent signifies victory."

"The first to win two matches is considered the overall winner."

"If I foresee any Grandmaster making a lethal move, my assistant and I will take coercive measures."

"Violating regulations will result in sanctions from the Chinese Martial Arts Association and the World Martial Arts Association, and a lifetime ban from competition."

"Do either of you have any questions?"

Su Fan had no questions regarding the rules of the martial arts exchange.

The same went for Master Dawuti standing next to him.

Generally, in martial arts exchanges, Martial Arts Grandmasters hold back force but not techniques.

During sparring, both sides may cause some damage, but it won't be fatal.

With no issues from Su Fan and Master Dawuti, the competition officially began.

In the first match, Dawuti did not use a weapon.

With him not using a weapon, Su Fan naturally wouldn't either.

However, this isn't a rigid rule; some Grandmasters specialize in weapons.

Without weapons, their combat effectiveness greatly decreases, so the martial arts exchange doesn't prohibit weapons.
