Chapter 1 Every second counts
The midday sun swayed on the gravel path. A carriage was swaying.
There was a teenager in his twenties sitting in the carriage.
The shaky bumps along the way couldn't take away the smile on his face.
The boy is very happy, he has never been to school, and today, it is the day when he is ready to enter school.
"We're almost there, young man. β
The elderly coachman shouted, but the whip in his hand never stopped.
It's almost there, Penglai.
There are no airports or stations in this isolated country, and all the fast-moving facilities are built 100 kilometers away.
The boy wanted to go here, so he had to take a ride from someone else.
"Speaking of which, haven't you asked the lad your name yet?"
The innocent smile still hung on the boy's face, and he put one arm on the fence of the wooden carriage and looked up at the blue sky.
"There's no need, right? Anyway, we met in Pingshui, and even if we say it, we'll forget it soon, and if we meet again next time, I'll tell you what my name is at that time." β
It seems that the teenager did not take this 'driver' to heart.
Groov.
The wheels of the carriage ran over a somewhat large rock, causing some bumps in the carriage.
"Don't say such cold words, young man, didn't you go to school in Penglai? It's rare to get to meet such a person, just take it as the fare, tell me......"
Watching the coachman entangled, there is nothing unspeakable that cannot be told.
The boy put his arms between the railings of the carriage and tilted his head to look in the direction of the coachman, the direction in which the road was going.
What appeared in front of me was a huge wall, as if the two worlds were being separated.
β...... Long Jianming. β
"Huh?"
"Name, my name is Long Jianming. β
Calling ββββββββ
As soon as Jianming's words fell, the carriage stopped.
His face was surprised, and his heart was even more uneasy and excited.
When a person leaves his hometown and goes to study in an unknown country, it takes an extremely strong heart to do it.
But no matter how powerful Jianming is, he is uneasy, and he will always hide in a corner.
In an unknown environment, people will constantly doubt their own judgment.
"Here it is...... Penglai?"
The coachman waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, young man, this is just the national border, and Penglai is still ahead!"
Jianming was puzzled, if Penglai was still ahead, then why stop here?
The coachman's next sentence completely erased Jianming's doubts.
"Then goodbye~ Long Jianming~ Do you want to work hard to pass the immigration review?"
After speaking, he pointed to the small door next to him with his finger.
"The entrance of the warrior is over there, let's go. β
With that, he waved his whip again and went through the gate to the interior.
Jianming turned his head and looked in the direction of the small door.
At the door, there were several men standing, some tall and mighty, some with uneven appearances, and the only thing in common was ...... They are all physically better than the average person, and they all seem to have some muscles.
"Next!"
The man at the doorknob shouted, and then a man who was still in line answered the door and entered the door.
Grunt, Jianming swallowed a mouthful of saliva, remembering what he had said to him privately before he set off.
At that time, Shensuan's expression was solemn, like a parent who saw his child go out alone for the first time.
He said: "If you want to enter Penglai to study, before the entrance exam, you have to pass the entry examination, you have to pay attention to this, there will be a simple test of your martial arts ability, I don't know the specifics, but ......"
"But almost all the martial artists there can master and use 'qi', which is what we call spiritual power, which is nothing, but ......"
"But you can't let them discover that you're circulating your spiritual power through your body. β
At that time, Jianming was very surprised when he heard this.
"But...... As soon as I move, I will unconsciously start the cycle!?How do I ...... Can you stop?"
Hearing this, the eyebrows of the god twitched slightly, as if he was blaming someone in his heart.
"What's wrong...... is there anything inconvenient?"
Shen Xuan exhaled a breath and soothed the sorrow between his brows.
"Penglai is always thirsty for a large number of powerful martial artists, if they find that you can circulate 'qi'...... They will probably do whatever it takes to get you, study you......"
"So, you have to be careful......"
Gollum swallowed another mouthful of saliva, Jianming had silently made up his mind.
(Bosom friend, I went...... οΌ
"Next!"
Just as Jianming was about to open the small door in front of him, his hand froze directly.
Because the door has opened on its own.
The man who opened the door was a man who was much taller and heavier than Jianming, and after he opened the door, he immediately removed his hand from the doorknob and pressed it to his arm.
A pained expression on his face.
Jian Ming was slightly shocked in his heart, this person was the person who had been in front of him just now.
What exactly is the test...... Will such a fierce man come out with his arms covered?
Now there is a most direct way to find out, go in and have a look!
Without the slightest hesitation, just pure curiosity, Jianming walked into the small and somewhat dimly lit room.
It's really strange, it's noon, but the lighting in this room is surprisingly poor.
After taking two steps down the corridor, Jianming finally adjusted to the light inside.
In front of him, there was nothing superfluous in the dim space, only ......
One person, one chair, one teapot.
The man looked to be in the prime of life, but the expression on his face was old.
The chair was not square, round, low, like a wooden pier.
The teapot was placed next to the strange man.
Thorny.
The man took a sip of tea and spat out a few more tea leaves in the cup.
With a sip of tea, I opened my mouth.
"Sit down and play a game. β
Jian Ming looked at the strange person in front of him with interest.
"What game?"
The man beckoned and motioned for Jianming to sit down first.
"Push hands. β
After Jianming sat down, he raised another finger and put it on his chest.
"One minute, one minute, you'll be sitting in this chair with your ass, and I'll let you pass. β
After speaking, he turned his palm into one hand, held it flat in front of his chest, the back of his hand was facing Jianming, and the other hand was placed on the alarm clock next to him.
Jianming already understood what this person meant, to put it bluntly, it was just an exam.
Can be ...... in a minute It's too underestimated, isn't it?
But the first person to lose his temper was not Jianming, who was underestimated, but the old man in the prime of life.
"What are you waiting for?
(Come on, who's afraid of whom?)
At this time, Jianming directly pushed the back of the man's palm against the back of his palm, so that the momentum of a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.
Click.
The man's other hand immediately pressed the timer, and the red neon icon stood out in the dimly lit room.
00οΌ59
The two intersecting hands immediately made a move.
In ordinary competitions, competitions, it is etiquette for the two to bump fists first, but it is just etiquette.
Therefore, after touching, the two should immediately separate and look for an opportunity to launch an offensive.
But a minute, every minute counts.
What's more, Jianming doesn't want to be underestimated, he wants to win.
So neither of them withdrew their hands and went back.
The preemptive strike is also a preemptive strike.
It was too late, it was too soon, and his open palm immediately clenched into a fist, and his ass was still sitting firmly on the chair, and the fist was already straight into the man's left chest.
The strange man who didn't withdraw didn't have time to parry, but he reacted immediately.
The alarm clock at this time, however, ......
00οΌ58
Between this lightning and fire, the man sensed Jianming's intentions, and even took his wrist as the axis, sticking to the back of Jianming's fist, his fingers were interlocked, and one by one he coiled on Jianming's wrist.
γHand Wrappingγ
After the man used this hand, he directly pulled Jianming's wrist behind him, intending to directly destroy Jianming's balance and pull him directly off the chair with his punch.
At the same time, he thought to himself......
For several years, people who have experienced it have basically coped passively, avoided fighting, and just avoided this minute.
Today is an interesting kid who wants to fight me from the beginning......
Pity...... But that's it.
No, Jianming is not the one who will stop here.
He immediately sensed the other party's intentions, and then he used all his strength to tilt back and adjust his center of gravity, and at the same time, he kept rubbing his feet against the ground, trying his best to maintain his butt without leaving the chair.
But it's not enough to just maintain it, if you just wrestle like this, your opponent will always be in the driver's seat.
In a short moment, Jianming had another idea.
In the next moment, he threw another punch, ready to shoot down the opponent's hand that was still clasped on his wrist.
I saw him exert force with his legs, drive his waist, and twist his shoulders again.
While pulling back that hand with all your might, you can use the power of the rotation to strike your left fist.
The target is the hand that the other person is holding onto him!
Touch!
Jianming, who sensed that it didn't feel right, didn't have time to think about what was going on.
It's just an effort to stabilize the body.
Receiving a huge thrust, his center of gravity was rapidly receding.
Fortunately, Jianming's posture is very stable, and his ability to adapt to emergencies is very good. The reflexes are also fast.
He steadied himself and understood what was going on.
At the moment when he had just struck his own left hand......
The man seized the opportunity to let go of the hand that was still holding his wrist, and at the same time unleashed a hook from the blind spot below, which just hit Jianming's fist, returning the force of his own hand and punch at the same time.
It's no wonder that his center of gravity has shifted back to such a large extent.
Jianming left a drop of cold sweat and looked at the alarm clock next to him.
00οΌ39
Just...... It's just a few tens of seconds.
