CHAPTER 675: CHAPTER 167: THE TOURNAMENT APPROACHES

Thinking back, Yun Sheng also felt it was essential; she never imagined that one day she would apply modern medicine in this manner.

"Naturally, even if the City Lord does not appoint me as the head of the Yellow Wing Competition Zone, I would still increase the schedule for Zone 9. You two just prepare for the annual doubles competition based on your strengths," Chu Yu said with confidence.

Having become the head of the Yellow Wing Competition Zone, Chu Yu felt an even greater responsibility on her shoulders.

She knew Kong Fei and the Second Young Master wouldn’t easily let things rest; they would definitely stir up trouble during the annual competition.

Chu Yu’s prediction was correct.

The Sky Wing City Lord indeed held a ceremony of recognizing ancestors on the next day.

He also specially invited several main stewards from the Treasure Pavilion, several heads of the major competition zones in the Sky Wings Arena, as well as some powers within Sky Wing City, announcing Chu Yu’s identity.

The Sky Wing City Lord also announced on the spot that Chu Yu would be renamed Tian Yiyu, and from now on, the administration of the Yellow Wing Competition Zone would be handled by her.

Facing this sudden decision, the Second Young Master Tian Yidong had some reservations, but there was nothing he could do.

This news, once released, made some joyful and others sorrowful.

The one who was the most devastated was Kong Fei.

Speaking of Kong Fei, his luck was really bad.

Originally, he wanted to make a big profit from the last monthly competition, but who knew he himself would get knocked out during the combat competition.

That day, after the competition ended, Kong Fei did not wake up until the next day.

The first words he uttered upon waking were: "How did the competition go?"

"Flame Emperor made a comeback and won," Tian Yidong didn’t really care much about who won or lost, as he and the Dark Night Pavilion didn’t collaborate closely.

Whether Liu Qingqing wins or the Flame Emperor does, it’s all the same, as long as it creates buzz. The lost money can still be recovered during the annual competition.

But Kong Fei was different.

This poor guy’s heart was bleeding and twitching; Liu Qingqing actually lost, and not only that, he soon learned that his cousin, the Yellow Night Envoy, had also been killed.

With the Yellow Night Envoy’s death, Kong Fei truly lost both his wealth and his people.

Earlier on, the Yellow Night Envoy boasted that it was almost certain that the "Liu Dao" team would win.

Kong Fei, greedy for money, thought of such high odds and bet a Million Gold Coins on "Liu Dao".

The worst part was, this million was not his own money.

Kong Fei was too extravagant, having no spare cash on hand. This Million Gold Coins were borrowed from his cousin, the Yellow Night Envoy, who diverted funds from the Dark Night Pavilion for him.

With the death of the Yellow Night Envoy, the Dark Night Pavilion immediately put pressure on Kong Fei, forcing him to use the income from the previous few months in Zone 1 to fill this gap.

He thought the matter would be resolved that way.

After all, the income from Zone 1 was high, and he could soon earn it back; with some accounting adjustments, it would eventually go unnoticed.

But what made Kong Fei even more devastated followed; after recovering, he went to Zone 1, and was shocked on arrival. Zones 1, 2, and 3 were all flattened, to rebuild these zones properly would take at least two to three months.

Two to three months! Doesn’t that mean his zone will have no income for these two months?!

Not only that, the competitions originally scheduled in Zone 1 would now all be distributed to other zones.

Since Zone 9 usually had the least scheduling, Chu Yu ended up receiving the most competitions.

What upset Kong Fei was that Chu Yu somehow managed to raise a large amount of funds to expand Zone 9.

The current Zone 9 is twice as large as before, capable of accommodating three thousand spectators for the matches.

Not only that, the first thing Tian Yiyu did upon becoming the head of the Yellow Wing Competition Zone was to thoroughly investigate its accounts.

She quickly discovered that Kong Fei had embezzled funds for gambling.

Tian Yiyu immediately demanded that Kong Fei repay the money, otherwise, he would be expelled.

Upon hearing this news, Kong Fei felt a surge of blood rush to his throat, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood.

In the end, it was the Second Young Master who stepped in and covered the deficit of one million Gold Coins.

Because of this matter, Tian Yidong harbored even deeper resentment towards Tian Yiyu.

After changing her name to Tian Yiyu, both Kong Fei and the Second Young Master behaved themselves for a while.

Under Tian Yiyu’s management, Zone 9’s revenue soared, much to Kong Fei’s envy.

He racked his brain and finally thought of a way to stop Chu Yu from continuing to profit.

Since the Yellow Night Envoy’s death, Kong Fei’s status in the Yellow Wing Zone had plummeted, and now with Chu Yu in charge, Kong Fei hated her even more.

One day, Kong Fei approached Tian Yidong again, flattering him, "Second Young Master, have the recent monthly competitions been underperforming? Allow me to give you a suggestion?"

Tian Yidong was indeed worrying about the declining revenues at the Arena.

The four main competition zones of the Sky Wings Arena, the Heavenly and Earth zones, were performing as usual.

However, the Xuan Yi Zone had to be closed for adjustments due to an incident involving a Dark Beast escaping.

As for the Yellow Wing Zone’s monthly competitions, aside from a surge in August during the ’Flame Emperor’ event, both September and October’s monthly competitions saw a decrease in attendance and audience enthusiasm compared to before.

It was only Tian Yiyu’s zone that excelled on its own.

Ultimately, it was because the match between ’Flame Emperor’ and ’Liu Dao’ that day was too thrilling; subsequent matches couldn’t live up to that excitement, and people’s enthusiasm waned.

As the end of the year approached, the Sky Wing City Lord usually asked both his sons to present their accounts.

To compare the performance of the Treasure Pavilion and the Sky Wings Arena.

In the past, the Treasure Pavilion and the Sky Wings Arena had their wins and losses.

Tian Yidong hadn’t been very concerned about it, but he received news a while ago that the Treasure Pavilion had refined a Holy-grade Treasure Saber for someone a few months back.

Not only that, it seems the Treasure Pavilion also hired an Artifact Refining Master recently and has launched a large number of well-received Magic Artifacts and weapons of high Rank.

Thanks to these developments, business at the Treasure Pavilion greatly improved.

Tian Yitu was initially annoyed by the issues with Tian Yiyu, but seeing the performance of the Treasure Pavilion, his mood instantly brightened.

He even sat in the hall every evening, delightfully tallying how much money the Treasure Pavilion had made that day.

Even the City Lord, who usually disdained Tian Yitu, rarely complimented him a few times.

Rumors even began to circulate that the City Lord intended to pass on his position to Tian Yitu.

This put pressure on Tian Yidong, forcing him to focus on the Arena’s performance.
