That night, Zhong Hou did not practice as usual, but accompanied Fu Bo to talk in the house. Because he found that Fauber had been frowning tonight, and he hadn't even eaten two bites of dinner, as a son, he must be concerned.

Fauber didn't hide it either, and told the story.

The matter is very simple, the head of the Situ family was killed that day, and many guards were affected by the pond fish, and there were heavy casualties.

With so many guards dead, the vacant positions naturally have to be topped, so there is a selection competition for this open recruitment of guards.

The selection competition is divided into registration, preliminary round, semi-final and final.

The registration stage is open, fair and voluntary, regardless of identity, whether you are a passerby, a descendant of the Situ family, or even a member of the Situ family, you are eligible to participate.

Of course, it is impossible for the Situ family to participate in this kind of competition with idle eggs.

After the preliminary screening in the registration stage, some age, height and weight that do not meet the requirements are eliminated, and then enter the strength test, as long as you reach the acquired level, you can enter the next round of preliminary rounds.

After the two rounds of elimination, the preliminary round and the semi-final, the final players can officially become a member of the Situ family escort team.

The final is not a knockout round, but the competition is the fiercest. Because the top eight can get additional rewards from the Situ family, the top three can even make an exception to enter the Situ family library.

If you want to continue to become stronger in the cultivation world, exercises, martial arts, pills, star weapons, and so on are indispensable, and the current opportunity is undoubtedly very attractive to some low-level cultivators.

Fu Bo had known the news for a long time, but he didn't tell Zhong Hou. And Zhong Hou works during the day and cultivates at night, and his relationship with other people is not so good, so he can't get any news at all.

But the strange thing is that Zhong Hou's name actually appeared in the registration list, and he has passed the registration and directly entered the next round of the preliminary round.

You must know that at this time, no one knows that Zhong Hou is already the second layer of the day after tomorrow, and everyone only thinks that he is an ordinary person, at most an ordinary person with a slightly stronger body.

How can an ordinary person enter the preliminary round by registering?

When Fauber got the news, he was still a little incredulous, so he personally found the person in charge of registration to confirm it.

But the fact is that Zhong Hou's name really appears on the list.

In fact, being able to become a guard, both in terms of status and treatment, is much higher than an ordinary handyman, but Fu Bo doesn't want Zhong Hou to participate.

There are no eyes in his fists and feet, in case Zhong Hou has three long and two short, how can he be worthy of Zhong Hou's dead father, and how can he be worthy of Zhou Bo's entrustment.

This is the reason why Fu Bo is sad, because he is just an ordinary person, and he can't see how strong Zhong Hou is at this time. In his opinion, when he really went to the ring, in the face of some contestants at the first level of the day after tomorrow, Zhong Hou was simply a character who was killed by one move.

Although he watched Zhong Hou cultivate every day, and also saw Zhong Hou's strength growing day by day, which father was willing to see his son take risks. Even though the two are not biological father and son, but after nearly two months of getting along, the relationship between the two has been no different from that of their biological fathers.

And Zhong Hou's name appeared in the list for no reason, which was weird, which made Fu Bo's worries even more than a few points.

After hearing the news, Zhong Hou thought for a while before asking, "Can the top three finalists really enter the Situ Family Library?"

Seeing Zhong Hou's question, Fu Bo understood Zhong Hou's decision, but he still dissuaded: "It is said that there are tens of thousands of people in this selection, and it is not easy to win the top three." Hou'er, you better give up. ”

"Since my name appears on the registration list for no reason, someone must be behind it, and I am afraid that I can't give up even if I want to. ”

Indeed, since the registration has been approved, if you are absent from the preliminary round without reason, the Situ family will think that you are a provocation to the Situ family, and you will definitely be held responsible. And with Fu Bo here, the monk can't run to the temple, and Zhong Hou can't hide if he wants to.

Fu Bo obviously thought of this as well, but he still shook his head and said, "I have been in the Situ family for so many years, and an old face is still a bit useful, let me think of a way to make sure that your name is removed from the list." We don't know what conspiracy is behind it, and we can't let the other side succeed. ”

"Father, don't worry, I'm confident in my strength, and I'll be fine. ”

Zhong Hou has his persistence.

First, there needs to be a place to verify the results of his cultivation these days.

Second, he needed an opportunity to increase his actual combat experience.

Thirdly, the attraction of the library was so great that he had a lot of questions to find answers.

Zhong Hou never revealed his revenge to Fu Bo, because the longer the contact took place, the more he realized that he couldn't find the answer he wanted from Fu Bo. Telling the story of revenge is only to add to the troubles of Fuber.

Fu Bo didn't understand why Zhong Hou insisted, but since he had made a decision, he didn't persuade him anymore.

There are still five days left before the start of the preliminary round, and since they know that there may be a conspiracy behind it, the father and son can't sit and wait and do nothing.

As a result, Fauber began to inquire about various materials about the tryouts through various connections.

And Zhong Hou simply took five days of sick leave and practiced hard at home.

After many inquiries, more than 13,000 players participated in the preliminary round this time, and only 500 were able to enter the finals.

Among them, there are two on the third floor and twenty-two people on the second floor, aged between 30 and 40. The others are all acquired first-level cultivators, aged between twenty and thirty.

Those over the age of 40 are not included in the Szeto family's enrollment.

As for those who are under forty years old and whose cultivation is at the fourth level or above the day after tomorrow, it is basically impossible for them to be a small guard.

In other words, the overall strength of this group of contestants is at the bottom of the day after tomorrow.

If it weren't for the poor background, poor strength, and no good way out, a small position as a guard was indeed not attractive.

For the sake of fairness, the rules of the preliminary, semi-final and final rounds will only be announced on the day of the competition. Except for asking how many people participated in the selection competition, and what kind of cultivation it was, Fauber couldn't find out any other information about the competition.

Zhong Hou has no idea whether the contestants are strong or weak, but he has confidence in himself. What's more, even if the other party is strong, will Zhong Hou give up?

The answer is clearly no.

It's a pity that Fu Bo didn't find out who was behind this scene, so he could only repeatedly tell Zhong Hou to be careful, put safety first in everything, and give up the game if necessary.

In order to comfort the old man, Zhong Hou could only show that he agreed. But when that moment comes, will Zhong Hou give up?

The answer is clearly the same no.
