Chapter 409: Martial Examination
Hundreds of people participate in the triennial martial arts examination, except for a few people who directly enter the semi-finals because of special recommendations, most of them have to compete from the preliminary round.
Chen Ning is a quota recommended by the royal family, so like Li He and a few others, he directly advances to the semi-finals and does not need to participate in the preliminary round.
The time of the preliminary round is one day, hundreds of people draw lots to catch the right competition, and finally select 10 people, and then play a semi-final with Chen Ning, Li He and other 6 people, and then select the martial arts champion from 16 people, the number of martial arts champions is the most simple and rude, and the direct military rank is promoted by one level.
The next day, the preliminary round of the martial arts examination began, basically the registered contestants are a one-day trip, I eliminated you, he eliminated me, and in the end all of them were eliminated, and 10 of the lucky ones were able to enter the semi-finals.
Entering the semi-finals is already the top 16 of the martial arts examination, and as long as you win one more game, it will be the top 8. According to the rules, the top 8 already have good rewards.
In the preliminary round, Chen Ning did not come to the scene because he did not have to participate in the competition, but visited the butcher, Qin Que, Duan Canglong and others respectively. Chen Ning has discovered that the higher his position, the better he has to have a good relationship with all kinds of people around him, it is useless for a person to be strong, only when a force is strong, can really do a lot of things.
The next day was the rematch of the martial arts examination.
If the audience of the martial arts examination on the first day was mainly civilians and low-level soldiers, then today's final gathered the attention of all the upper echelons of the empire, the cabinet governor, the four generalissimos and the eight generals, as well as the queen mother and several important members of the royal family, all appeared on the scene to watch the game.
Even the butcher, Duan Canglong, Luo Hu and other middle-level generals also appeared at the scene, and there were countless children of wealthy family lords.
As for the civilians, they were only able to watch the game or watch live TV from the periphery.
In fact, in a martial arts exam like this, the champion is usually predetermined.
And this time, the designated champion is Li He!
There are many reasons why Lee Ha can become the champion of the interior, first of all, he is the son of Lee Tae-hee. In addition, the Li family and the Fu family have been married, and Fu Tianlong naturally wants to further enhance the power of his camp, so he wants to take this opportunity to help Li He upgrade to one level, then the empire will be the ninth general, and the Fu family's voice in the cabinet will be greater!
Many people know this inside story, so the butcher and Luo Hu, Duan Canglong and others did not participate, Mu Tian, Zhou Qianghui, and Wang Boting's real powerhouses did not participate, and everyone didn't want to join in the excitement and serve as a foil.
So in today's finals, Chen Ning found that among the top 16, there was only one face he was familiar with, Qin Que.
Qin Que naturally knew that Li He was the designated champion, but her goal in participating in the martial arts examination this time was not to be the champion, and the reward for the champion was good, but under normal circumstances, she would definitely not have a chance to get involved. What's more, in terms of real strength, Qin Que felt that he was still a little inferior to Li He.
So Qin Que locked her eyes on the reward for the second place in the martial arts examination, an incomparably delicate and sharp platinum command knife, she fell in love with this command knife, which was also the reason why she came to participate in the martial arts examination.
At ten o'clock in the morning, 16 players began to draw lots on the spot and compete, and the game will be continuous, and the top 8 and top 4 have been champions and runners-up one after another.
When the lot was drawn, Chen Ning finally met Li He, Li He was taller than Chen Ning, he had just been transferred back to Qinglong City from the Xiyuan War Zone, and he exuded a domineering and domineering aura unique to the warriors outside the Saiwai.
When Li He saw Chen Ning, he directly snorted coldly, lowered his voice and said, "Boy, it was you who bullied my sister the night before yesterday." My sister is so big that my father and I are reluctant to beat her, how dare you do it? Don't touch me in the ring, or I'll just kill you. ”
Chen Ning said lightly: "Don't worry, we will definitely meet it." ”
Li He was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he understood what Chen Ning meant. thought that Li He's strength was basically able to enter the finals, and Chen Ning also felt that he would definitely enter the finals, so Chen Ning would say that the two of them would definitely meet!
Li He said coldly: "You are even more arrogant than the rumors, but I hope that you must have arrogant capital, otherwise your end will be miserable." ”
After Li He finished speaking, he went over to draw lots.
At this time, Qin Que appeared beside Chen Ning and said softly: "He is the internal champion, why should you provoke him?"
Chen Ning said calmly: "The champion is determined, hehe, I didn't come here to be a green leaf to set off others, I won't let this champion, I will definitely do my best." But General Qin, how did you know that Li He was predestined to come to this troubled water?"
Qin Que smiled slightly: "The reason is very simple, my goal is to be second. ”
Chen Ning smiled when he heard this: "Then there will be a battle between us and Li He." ”
Qin Que was stunned when he heard this, and then thought that this was indeed the case, Chen Ning wanted to win the championship with Li Hezheng, which meant that Chen Ning and Li He were going to enter the finals, and if they wanted to be runners-up, they could only enter the finals. Only two of the three people can enter the finals, which means that she, Chen Ning, and Li He must have been eliminated before the finals!
When the draw was made, Chen Ning drew an opponent in the early stage of level 10.
officially started the first game, Chen Ning shot mercilessly, blasted through the opponent's defense with a few punches, and then kicked the opponent away with a lightning kick, won the first game cleanly, and directly advanced to the quarterfinals.
When eight into four, Chen Ning drew an opponent in the middle of level 10, and Chen Ning did not hesitate at the beginning of the game, giving full play to the clean and neat fighting style in the army, and it only took a few minutes to defeat the opponent, causing the surrounding audience to exclaim.
Many people finally remembered at this time, this man in front of them is known as the god of war in the southern provinces!
Fu Yunfei sat with Li Shuitong, Fu Tianlong, Li Taixi and others to watch the game, Li Shuitong was naturally most concerned about Chen Ning, she saw Chen Ning easily defeat the two opponents in the early and middle stages of level 10, and was a little shocked: "Oh my God, is Chen Ning so powerful?"
As soon as her words fell, Fu Yunfei's gaze fell on her coldly.
Li Shuitong was suddenly shocked in her heart, she, Brother Fu, hated others the most for saying that Chen Ning was powerful!
So she hurriedly said: "I mean Chen Ning is a little strong, I'm worried that my brother won't be able to win against him!"
Fu Tianlong also frowned and said: "This Chen Ning's combat power has a deep potential, if it is a competition, it is estimated that Li He will definitely be able to win against Chen Ning, but if it is a real fight to the death, I can't say which of the two will win." General Lee, what do you think?"
Li Taixi said proudly: "Chen Ning is used to fighting in the occupied areas of the southern provinces. But my son is in the Xiyuan War Zone, and he is not idle, the zombie power in the Xiyuan War Zone is much more powerful than the zombies in the southern provinces, and my son's experience in fighting in the battle is definitely richer than Chen Ning. In addition, my son is already in the late stage of level 10, and if he wants, he can break through level 11 at any time, but he has been pressing the level and has not broken through. Over the years that my son has been pressing the level, he has polished the lit martial vein node very solidly, and the powerful force energy output by the martial vein is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary level 10 powerhouses, so I think that Chen Ning has no chance of winning compared to my son. ”
As soon as Li Taixi's evaluation ended, the draw for eight into four ended.
The opponent Chen Ning drew was Li He.
Fu Tianlong smiled slightly: "It seems that the show is going to appear in advance, let's see if the son of the in-laws is more skilled, or Chen Ning is more ferocious, everyone will wait and see." ”
After Chen Ning and Li He drew lots and found that each other had become opponents in the next game, Li He sneered and said to Chen Ning: "Hehe, you kid finally hit my hand, now surrender and admit defeat, and run away with his tail between his legs, it's still too late." ”
Chen Ning squinted his eyes and said, "I heard that you are the internal champion. ”
Li He's eyes flickered twice, and he seemed to be a little weak-hearted, but he quickly calmed down: "Hehe, I don't know if it's determined or not, but I know that I will defeat all the opponents in the arena and win the martial arts championship in a dignified manner." ”
Chen Ning: "Hehe, your father and Fu Tianlong spread the news that you are the internal champion, which made the butcher, Luo Hu and other strong people stop one after another. Only some ordinary generals came to participate in the martial arts examination, and you are embarrassed to say that you won the championship with pride?"
Li He's face sank, and he just wanted to speak, but Chen Ning had already continued: "You say, a predetermined champion was eliminated in the top 4, will it be a joke?"
Li He's face turned pale: "Wait on the battlefield, I will let you understand who is a joke!"
