Chapter 686 - 686: Start Of The Competition!

Translator: Lordbluefire

518 was the leader of the Dark Web Organization and represented the peak of physical strength that a woman could achieve.

If 518 were here, wouldn’t it be easier for the women of Country A to improve their status?

Just as Luo Yan thought of this, she saw the Princess approaching.

She immediately slapped herself on the head.

How could she think of 518 in front of the Princess?

Could 518 be more powerful than the Princess?

That must be impossible… right?

Luo Yan mocked herself in her heart and then saw Shen Ruojing come to her and ask, “What are you arguing about?”

Luo Yan suddenly felt guilty and immediately said, “You must be stronger than 518!”

Shen Ruojing.”?”

With a puzzled expression, she was about to ask about it when she heard Yan Zixuan, Luo Jian—the young general of the Luo family, and Ji Shuai—the young general of the Ji family—all walk over with their mission cards.

As soon as the three of them arrived, the arguing among the soldiers ceased, and they all stood up straight, curious to find out where their competition would take place.

The expressions on the three people’s faces were not very good, and their steps seemed heavy.

Luo Yan looked at Yan Zixuan and Luo Jian first. “What’s wrong with you two? Your faces look terrible! Where are we assigned to?”

Yan Zixuan furrowed his brows.

Luo Jian immediately said, “Luo Yan, if you want to quit now, there’s still time.”

He didn’t want his sister to take risks either.

Luo Yan frowned. “What nonsense are you talking about? Where can I quit now? Hurry up and say where the competition venue is!”

Luo Jian clenched his jaw, his gentle face now showing a serious expression. “It’s Huyi Island.”

“What kind of place is that?”

Luo Yan looked at them with a puzzled expression, as did the other soldiers who clearly did not understand where it was.

Luo Jian briefly explained to everyone, “It’s an island in our Country A, but it’s different from other islands. This island has no trace of human civilization, and everything is the result of natural development. There are many tropical plants and animals on it. It’s said that a snake on the island can grow to half a meter thick and several tens of meters long…”

“Hiss!”

Everyone present gasped.

“Is it that terrifying?”

“Why would they choose this place as the competition venue for the martial arts tournament?”

“Yeah, I’ve heard of this place. I’ve also heard that there are many poisonous plants there that can kill you if you touch them!”

As a group of people was scared and their faces became serious, Ji Shuai, the young general of the Ji family, couldn’t help but speak arrogantly, “What are you afraid of? Isn’t it just a deserted island? Since they can go and place the flag, there must be no problem. What’s there for a group of grown men to be afraid of?”

Hearing these words, the soldiers became embarrassed.

However, the soldiers of the Ji family laughed. “Young General, it’s not that we are afraid. We just think that these delicate young ladies are scared out of their wits!”

As soon as this was said, the soldiers of the Ji family burst into laughter.

Some of the Luo family’s soldiers also laughed, but seeing that their young general didn’t speak, they didn’t dare to mock the ladies.

The soldiers of the Yan family, however, defended the female soldiers. “I think you’re just looking for an excuse, aren’t you? You’re afraid and you’re pushing it onto others! Are you even men? Don’t you even have the courage to admit that you’re scared?”

“Who says we don’t have…”

The soldiers immediately started chattering and arguing again. Even before the competition began, the tension between the three parties was already palpable.

The female soldiers didn’t seem to mind, after all, no one had heard of Huyi Island, and they were clueless about the situation there.

Luo Jian frowned. “Enough, stop arguing. The competition venue this time is very dangerous. The rules of the competition are that we will be air-dropped by helicopter onto the island, and the competition will end when someone retrieves the flag. Everyone should think about what they need to bring when entering the island.”

The crowd immediately began discussing.

Ji Shuai, however, disdainfully said, “Luo Jian, I think you’re just scared, aren’t you? You’ve explored other islands, but not this one, right? Haha, you make it sound so grandiose, and you even want to bring things…what, do you want to move your house over there too?”

After saying that, he waved to his soldiers. “Brothers, we can’t be scared by them! Travel light!”

“Yes!”

A group of soldiers immediately started making noise.

Luo Jian, who obviously appeared more mature and composed than Yan Zixuan and Ji Shuai, didn’t care about the verbal provocation and continued to prepare for the island with his soldiers.

After all, the air-drop would take place soon.

Seeing this, Yan Zixuan also waved for his people to pack their things.

Then Yan Zixuan went to Shen Ruojing. “Princess, how many days will the medicine powder you prepared last?”

The medicine powder provided by Shen Ruojing was very useful.

They had brought some specially for this occasion, even including some insect repellent powder.

Shen Ruojing thought for a moment. “If it’s deep in the mountains and forests, it should last for about five days.”

Yan Zixuan calculated. “That’s enough.”

While the two were discussing, they saw the person in charge of this martial arts tournament approaching, and it was actually Prince Jing Yi!

Jing Yi’s gaze swept across the various teams and finally landed on Shen Ruojing. A glimmer of darkness then flashed in his eyes.. “For the sake of fairness, the items everyone will bring will be uniformly distributed by us! Now, hand over all the things you have on you!”
