Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 395

"There are 1, 458 competitors for Hailey, and they are..." It took the elder about 15 minutes to finish the roll-call of names for Hailey's suitors.

The martial artists present had an excellent cultivation base. So the elder assumed that the announcement of the names of all the competitors for Hailey was clear enough, and they all heard what he said.

However, at the mention of Darren's name, Hailey, who was slumped on the stage, clearly recognized his name and glanced down the scene looking for that familiar face. But to her dismay, there were just so many people. Aside from that, Darren had already put his mask on, so she didn't find him at that instant.

The martial artists who were going to fight for Hailey were way more than the other girls' competitors, causing the people to discuss what was with her to have so many suitors. Even the pretty girls standing beside her couldn't help but turn to look at her with jealous eyes.

Though the other girls were not as beautiful as Hailey, they were pretty good-looking and could make men drool. But there was just something about Hailey that made her unique and different among others. She was more elegant than them, too, especially now that she was dressed in pale green and stood gracefully on the high stage. Besides, one could not easily find out about her cultivation base. It rested as a mystery, which attracted the young men even more.

Then, finishing off with the roll-calls, the elder on stage announced the rules of the fight, and soon the competition momentarily began. Considering the arena, plus the fact that there were just too many martial artists who wanted to compete for Hailey, the competition for her was saved as the last event.

In every fight, there would be two martial artists who were competing for the same girl. So the group of people was divided two by two. Every pair would fight at the same time, and they could only use one skill on each other. The losers would be eliminated while the winners got the chance to fight again until there was only one winner left.

In that way, the competition wouldn't last for too long. Besides, they were only allowed to use one skill on each other so that they wouldn't be hurt badly. The rules were pretty reasonable, one would say.

The competition went fast, and after about an hour, the other 99 girls all got their final winner—their groom to marry.

As the competition commenced, Darren was sitting under the stage. He didn't really pay much attention to other martial artists, except when there was a pretty influential martial artist on stage.

"Sir, do you have the confidence to win over the prettiest girl on stage?" Governor Joshua Fang, who was just beside Darren, asked him curiously with a smile on his face.

Giving him a mocking smile in return, Darren just shook his head without saying a word.

Meanwhile, Governor Joshua's daughter couldn't even hide her disappointment. She had always seen herself as a rare beauty in the eastern land. But now, seeing the one hundred beautiful girls on stage who were as pretty as her, she finally realized that she was not that special at all. Not only that, the girls on stage were all way better than her when it came to cultivation base. She couldn't take it for now, and that was why she felt so devastated.

"Father, I'm going home with my cousin now. Please come home soon after you finish your job here."
