Chapter Ninety-Five: Roll Call Challenge
The night passed, and a lively and expectant day came.
The Wasteland Sect Competition, the Zhongnan Sword Mansion Selection Contest opened on this day.
The so-called selection in the government, in a narrow sense, is a nail in the coffin of middle-aged, unless there are great changes, there can be no changes. The list of three elder seeds is the final list, and even a challenger can't be found.
Therefore, the publication of the list is a formality and publicity.
In other sects, there may be very fierce competition in the youth file, because the talents of the Sword Mansion are not available, and there is no suspense. However, for the sake of fairness, a ring was set up in the sword arena, and any disciple of the Sword Mansion who met the age requirements could take the stage to challenge one of the three seeded players.
At the beginning, a large group of disciples gathered around the ring to see if a miracle would happen. However, after waiting for more than half an hour, no one put a fart, and gradually became depressed.
They know each other well, no one is a fool, who is willing to go up and bring humiliation on themselves, knowing that going up will cause people to laugh and make them disgraced?
In the ring, the three seed disciples sat steadily, bored. Long Xiangtian closed his eyes and recuperated; Wushan Yundong glanced at it and looked west; Leng Zhu'er simply held a book and read it with relish.
The typhoon here is calm and calm, and there is no excitement to watch. The onlookers shifted their attention one after another, and put their attention on the adjacent youth group ring, bustling and discussing.
In the ring of the youth group, three chairs were also placed on the side, and Zhang Jiangshan, Gu Chengyang, and Liang Qiufeng were sitting. The three of them had different expressions, Gu Chengyang was as cold and arrogant as ever; Zhang Jiangshan looked relaxed, and the smile on his fat face was cute, which made people feel full of joy when they saw it; as for Liang Qiufeng, he pursed his lips tightly, and looked a little nervous.
Set up a high platform, attract attention, and meet the challenge. This is the first time in Liang Qiufeng's life. Xiao Jihai's admonition was echoing in his mind at the moment:
"In life, heaven and man are at war, fighting and fighting, it is inevitable. In many cases, it is not only you who challenges others, but you also have to meet the challenges of others. There are some things that you have to fight for, and others have to fight for them even more. Where there is strife, there must be a war. As a martial artist, first of all, you must have a heart that is not afraid of challenges and competition! As for victory or defeat, it is still to come......
I remember these words deeply. At the same time, he understood that Xiao Jihai's painstaking arrangement to replace Luo Gang as a seeded player was to develop a fighting spirit and sharpness to meet challenges anytime and anywhere.
Regarding Xiao Jihai's suggestion, Zhang Xingkong and others did not veto. The trust between each other is one of the reasons, and more importantly, from the beginning to the present, Liang Qiufeng, whom Xiao Jihai is optimistic about, has never disappointed the Sword Mansion.
Xiao Jihai has proved his vision, and Liang Qiufeng has proved his potential, why do they contradict each other?
The person who presided over the juvenile selection competition was the internal affairs elder Wang Chongshan, he was a fat man, but compared to Zhang Jiangshan, his body was not as good.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he began to host with a smile, first said some encouraging words, and then announced that the selection had begun, and there were disciples who wanted to challenge them on stage.
There was a "whoosh", and the sound of the explosion in the audience was amazing. Eyes shuttled, to see who the first disciple to challenge the stage would be, and who would challenge?
Not surprisingly, they should all challenge Liang Qiufeng.
"Persimmon picks up soft pinching" is not only a joy to hear, but also a wise saying. Compared with Zhang Jiangshan and Gu Chengyang, Liang Qiufeng is "weak and bulliable".
Most of the eyes fell on Luo Gang.
Today, Luo Gang's whole body is full of brand-new sword suits, and his figure is even more upright. It's just that his expression is very strict, his arms are folded to his chest, and his sword eyebrows are slightly twisted, which is very solemn.
was "snatched" by Liang Qiufeng to confirm his own seed qualifications, which made Luo Gang very unhappy, unhappy to the top. He even felt that it was a shame, and when the list was announced, all the eyes around him seemed to turn into ridicule and mockery.
As one of the three leaders of the new generation of disciples of Jianfu, Luo Gang has always been a troika on a par with Gu Chengyang and Zhang Jiangshan, and he is tied for power. How could I have thought that a Liang Qiufeng suddenly appeared, and pulled himself off the horse in a way that was almost a slap in the face, who could bear it?
Besides, between Luo Gang and Liang Qiufeng, there were some conflicts and disputes a long time ago, and they were not on the right path with each other.
At that time, Luo Gang, relying on his identity and status, thought that a few words could deter Liang Qiufeng to obediently bow his head, and he didn't dare to turn over old accounts to his uncle Deacon Luo.
Later, someone accused Deacon Luo of being greedy for miscellaneous labor benefits. After investigation, Deacon Luo lost his job, was expelled from the mountain, and went to sell books in Zhongnan Town.
This matter was not done by Liang Qiufeng, but Luo Gang determined that there was definitely Liang Qiufeng's shadow behind it. If it weren't for such a variable, where would those miscellaneous servants dare to report their uncle?
Later, the friction between the two deepened, and the verbal conflict was intense. In the sword field, Liang Qiufeng said wildly, saying "In time, catch up and compete with Luo Gang".
At that time, Luo Gang listened to it and laughed, which was regarded as the most ridiculous joke in the world.
But, now, the joke has become a fact, and in another, more ironic way: it's not that Liang Qiufeng wants to challenge Luo Gang, but that Luo Gang has to challenge Liang Qiufeng!
How long has it been?
The status situation is a big subversion.
Some of the juniors and disciples who are close to Luo Gang have also become estranged recently.
Every time he thought of this, Luo Gang gritted his teeth, of course he knew what others thought, and he was implicated in Zhou Bo's matter. However, if Zhou Bo hadn't confessed the contradiction with Liang Qiufeng at the beginning, would he have gotten so close to the thief, and even his innocence was tarnished, is it difficult to explain?
It's all to blame on Liang Qiufeng!
His status, glory, and fame were all ruined and taken away by this son. It's just that I, Luo Gang, have just learned swords since I was a child, and I am brave and enterprising, how can I fall down so easily?
What I lost, I had to get it back.
Just today!
Thinking of the excitement, Luo Gang almost screamed and expressed his depression in his heart. It's just that he endured it after all, and he didn't take the stage to challenge Liang Qiufeng for the first time. The experience of these days has taught him to be patient and judge the situation. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens, so before the challenge, Luo Gang wanted to gain as much insight as possible into Liang Qiufeng's true strength.
He knew that in addition to himself, there would definitely be other challengers in the field, so just wait patiently.
Luo Gang's wait didn't last long, and half an hour later, a young disciple flew up to the stage and challenged Liang Qiufeng by name.
