Qin Fang, however, just smiled and, looking at Ding Song being taken away in handcuffs by the two police officers, spat out two words—"Idiot!"

At this point, it didn't matter who was conspiring against whom anymore.

Even if Ding Song knew the truth, it was all his own doing; if he hadn't intended to deal with Qin Fang, how could he have ended up being taken away by Qin Fang for no reason?

"Despicable!"

"Shameless!"

"Bastard..."

Such contempt from Qin Fang toward Ding Song immediately sparked a strong backlash from the brothers behind Ding Song, some of whom seemed eager to try, itching to pin Qin Fang to the ground and give him a severe beating.

But the problem was that with two police officers backing up Qin Fang, even Ding Song, who came from the Ding Family, was arrested on the spot; they, with their inferior status, knew the police officers would care even less about them.

Assault the police?

Qin Fang almost wished they would really do it, given that any one of these people could easily take out the small-time cops, but the problem was that the consequences weren't something they could bear.

"We'll see about that..."

Ding Song's handsome face had turned extremely fierce. From the moment the handcuffs were placed on him, he knew he had been calculated by Qin Fang, or rather, Qin Fang had already planned it all out, just waiting for him to fall into the trap.

Now that Qin Fang had even brought the police without any concern for the Ding Family behind Ding Song, taking direct measures, it was clear that Qin Fang's backing was far stronger than he had imagined.

In the face of this situation, Ding Song could only show a considerable amount of helplessness, but inside, he was filled with hatred for Qin Fang, already secretly plotting revenge.

"I'll be waiting..."

Qin Fang, on the other hand, appeared very calm. In fact, from the moment Ding Song had definitely made a move against him, they had been on opposite sides, so since that was the case, he might as well hit back harder and teach him a lesson.

"Hmph..."

Ding Song just snorted coldly, then left with the two police officers. As for Ding Song's brothers, although they were all extremely angry, not one of them dared to act rashly. Mainly it was because they couldn't grasp Qin Fang's connections, which left them in an uncomfortable and helpless predicament, like being wary about hurting the mouse while breaking the vase.

However, Qin Fang acted as if he didn't see their indignation at all, as if their clamor was nothing more than the sound of firecrackers, entirely negligible.

"You really are an assassin from Tian Nan Four Shows..."

Watching Ding Song being escorted away by the police, Luo Xi's expression was quite odd, and only after quite some time did she speak softly.

"Err... are you complimenting me or insulting me?"

Qin Fang was immediately taken aback, touching his nose and muttering with a weird expression.

Of the Tian Nan Four Shows, Qin had now encountered two. Su Yang had a big fight with Qin, which ended in a draw despite his far superior strength, and he lost a lot of face. He didn't even participate in the Martial World Conference afterwards, returning to his sect for cultivation.

Ding Song was even more extreme, the two of them couldn't even be considered very acquainted, merely having met once. Yet Ding Song had tried to deal with Qin in secret, even resorting to a robbery scheme.

But quite carelessly, not only did the robbery not succeed, but the robbers ended up being caught. Then, using some tactics and in order to save themselves, the robbers sold out Ding Song. Thus, Qin along with his plots, just gave a push from behind. He wanted to see how Ding Song, faced with such accusations, would manage to shirk the blame—though the likelihood of that was extremely low.

Without a doubt, Ding Song being taken away this time, although he might not be charged with attempted robbery, there was no hope for him to participate in this Martial World Conference anymore.

Not to mention that the police were on Qin's side, which meant they might act somewhat biasedly, so Ding Song would end up in a sad state.

But the Ding Family was after all a local Serpent—they wouldn't let Qin get away with such a setback so easily. Obviously, they would find a way to exonerate Ding Song; such an exceptionally talented individual couldn't be ruined by such a trivial matter.

Of course, by the time Ding Song came out of the police station, the Martial World Tournament had already concluded successfully, and it was destined to have little to do with him.

Besides, under the watchful eyes of all, Qin Fang's exquisitely timed kick had caused Ding Song to lose face significantly. Even if his skin were as thick as could be, making an appearance at such a crucial moment would likely result in being ridiculed behind his back. So, he might as well not show up at all; at least this way he would save some face.

"It's just a coincidence..."

Although Su Yang's departure had a lot to do with Qin Fang, Ding Song... well, that was entirely his own fault. To say that Qin Fang was picking a fight for no reason would truly be too unjust to Qin Fang.

"I suddenly have a premonition that the remaining two will also not escape from your grasp…"

Luo Xi fell silent for a moment, then spoke with certainty, despite it being just a guess; yet, she seemed very confident about it.

Qin Fang rolled his eyes and didn't bother to continue entertaining her speculation; he headed straight to their reserved area. The competition on the stage had already begun, and he had no intention of wasting a lot of time on meaningless arguments.

He had taken down two of the Tian Nan Four Shows, a fact indeed. But as for the remaining two, he didn't even know their names yet.

To say that these two would also not escape his grasp, where did that come from?

The others, upon hearing Luo Xi's words, couldn't help but laugh. With two of the Tian Nan Four Shows gone, the impact was truly formidable. If the remaining two also suffered the same fate, Qin Fang would indeed become the assassin of the Four Shows.

By the time Qin Fang and his companions arrived in the VIP area, it was considered quite late. Basically, everyone who could enter had already done so. Those who couldn't come in might as well give up trying.

Apart from Ding Song and others who had used a backdoor to get in, the rest were people with significant backgrounds or special status who were not acquainted with Qin Fang and his group, so there was no need for interaction.

Meanwhile, Ding Song's fellow sect members were quietly standing near Qin Fang, silently staring at him as if they were eager to catch him alone and give him a severe beating in the restroom.

The remaining two members of the Tian Nan Four Shows clearly weren't in the VIP section, or else Luo Xi would have recognized them. Moreover, when Ding Song got into trouble, they probably wouldn't have just stood by and watched.

It was the first day of the Martial World Tournament, and the excitement of the platform battles wasn't very high. The tournament was still at the knockout stage. Both the Northern and Southern Martial Arts Worlds had selected one hundred young experts to participate in the battles. The format was a random draw free-for-all. Fifty people formed a group, competing in one-on-one battles until sixteen finalists emerged, i.e., the top four of each group.

A total of two hundred young experts, nominated by various sects and clans, were known to each other in this circle. The strengths and weaknesses were very clear, and it was evident who qualified and who didn't. A shameless grab for face would only lead to one's own embarrassment, so the selection for qualification was decided quite easily.

Initially, Cai Pingyuan had an eligibility spot, but he chose to give it up.

Cai Qing's strength was quite good, but only relatively speaking. Any of the top one hundred experts in the Southern Martial Arts World could be considered an expert, so in comparison, Cai Qing was still a bit weaker.

Since she couldn't compete with the top hundred experts, clinging to a spot would be somewhat unappreciative. Who knows what people might say behind Cai Pingyuan's back.

And thus, Cai Pingyuan decided to gracefully give up the qualification, earning him significant goodwill. Also, the qualifications for the next Martial World Tournament were now firmly his, with no one having the right to question this decision.

You couldn't expect Cai Pingyuan to voluntarily give up the spot twice in a row. If there were truly no promising successors, that would be one thing, but clearly, this wasn't the case. Qin Fang's sudden emergence ensured his participation in the next Martial World Tournament.

As for this edition of the Martial World Tournament, Qin Fang was merely a spectator; officially taking part was certainly not his turn.

His battle with Su Yang had indeed slightly showcased Qin Fang's exceptional talent, but his strength was still relatively weaker. If he used Tiger's Rush, he would only be on par with Cai Qing and still quite far behind those Level 5 experts.

Last night, he used Tiger's Rush in a Sneak Attack to take down a Level 5 expert, but that was just due to surprise; the other party never expected Qin Fang to be so formidable, and thus caught off guard.

As for the second Level 5 expert, Qin Fang did not resort to a Sneak Attack again. Such a tactic might succeed once, but a second time was not guaranteed, which was why Qin Fang decided to use a gun…

The battles on the platform were incredibly lively. Qin Fang was quite engaged as a spectator.

Just as he anticipated, those who could participate were all experts. Qin Fang kept throwing his Scouting Skill onto the platform, checking the strength level of every contestant. They were almost uniformly Level 5 experts, with not a single one below that level.

This left Qin Fang feeling frustrated—how could young experts be so undervalued?

Two hundred competitors took part in the martial arts battles, ranging in age from the youngest at twenty-two to the oldest at thirty-two, all falling within a prime age group for cultivation and in their peak physical condition. To have attained Level 5 strength at such an age meant all had a promising chance of reaching Level 6 Grandmaster Level...

Undoubtedly, these individuals would become Qin Fang's rivals. If he wished to make a name for himself in the Martial World, they were destined to be the stepping stones on his path.

However, Qin Fang himself had yet to realize that he was already gaining some fame. Luo Xi's phrase "assassin of the Four Shows" was already spreading quietly... (To be continued.
