After dawn, Long Zun went out of the city gate alone to the ring outside the city.

The hour is still that hour, but as soon as the others arrive at the place, they ...... As far as the eye can see, there are already a lot of people near the ring, especially the bamboo huts where the families are stationed, which are full and crowded with people.

Naturally, the subordinates and the family are not qualified to enter the bamboo shed, lead the horses, take the carriage, and go to other places to rest, but they will not leave too far.

Walking into the special shed of the contestants, Long Zun looked inside, and most of the contestants came, and almost the contestants from the three major families had not yet arrived.

The tension before the big battle permeated the shed where the contestants were staying, and the solemn looks on everyone's faces made the air seem to be a little heavier elsewhere.

In the direction of Tiancheng County, a team of people came and slowly approached, and when they were about to reach the ring, they suddenly divided into two teams, the team with a small number of people walked in the direction of the contestants' sheds, and the team with a large number of people went in the other direction.

"The people of the Zhao family are here. ”

I don't know who said it, Long Zun looked up, and a team of five people was walking in the direction of the shed where he was, and the young man led by it was Zhao Wuhua whom he had met once.

He didn't see the big nose and Zhao Qian's eyes that he had seen, so he shouldn't have come, and Zhao Wuhua was surrounded by some strangers he had never seen, but from the words of the people around him, he knew that these strangers were all young children of the Zhao family's generation.

Soon, Zhao Wuhua led people into the shed, and went straight to a place in the middle of the shed, and five people, including Zhao Wuhua, occupied it, as for the contestants who were there before, they couldn't afford to provoke Zhao Wuhua and others, so they had to change to other positions.

Not long after the Zhao family arrived, another team appeared from the direction of Tiancheng County and slowly walked towards the ring.

This time, there is no need for others to say, Long Zun saw Chen Laohan in front of the team with his mother's click-eyed eyes, no need to ask, this team is the team of the Chen family, one of the three major families.

In Chen's family, a team of five people was also divided into the contestants' sheds.

As soon as he entered the shed, Chen Laohan saw Zhao Wuhua sitting in the middle of the shed, his eyes narrowed, and several thick and deep wrinkles on his forehead were unusually clear, and they were clearly on his forehead.

As soon as Zhao Wuhua came in from Chen Laohan, he only skimmed slightly, and then stopped paying attention.

Chen Laohan greeted a few people around him, drove away a few contestants in the corner of the shed, and led people to occupy this corner.

It may be that the big war is coming, the children of the Zhao family led by Zhao Wuhua and the children of the Chen family brought by Chen Laohan did not do any radical behavior, and each occupied a place in the shed, and all sat on the mat with their eyes closed.

Two of the three major families of Tiancheng County came, and the remaining contestants of the Li family did not come.

Long Zun was thinking about when the Li family would arrive, but he saw that the direction of the gate of Tiancheng County was dusty, as if a horse team passed by, bringing up a burst of dust.

After a moment's effort, a procession of carriages composed of gorgeous carriages stopped a mile away from the ring, and a large number of people walked down from the carriages.

"Hmph, the Li family put on such a big show, swaggering through the market all day long, and those who don't know think that Tiancheng County is their turn for the Li family to have the final say. ”

Among the contestants of the Zhao family, some people spoke sneeringly, and no matter how they listened to it, they had a sour taste.

The Li family contestants soon came to the shed, led by a young man whom Long Zun had never seen before, the other party looked like a crown of jade, a pair of bright eyes like stars in the night sky, and a faint pride on his face.

Li Gan who followed him, Li Jing and Li Houzhong, and two strangers that Long Zun had never seen before, I think they should be the leaders of the younger generation of the Li family, otherwise they would not be able to reach the top twenty-five positions of the Martial Arts Association.

The number of participants in the Li family team is seven, when Long Zun looked at the last person in the Li family's team, his eyes suddenly stopped, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes, the last person walking in the Li family's team was actually Sun Dewang of the Sun family.

Although he knew about Sun Dewang's promotion to the top 25, he didn't expect Sun Dewang to get mixed up with the Li family.

He clearly remembered that on the day of Mrs. Li's birthday banquet, the pock-faced middle-aged man of the Sun family killed a servant of the Li family in the Li family, and later the Li family was furious and strictly investigated the murderer. Although I don't know if the murderer was found, looking at the appearance at that time, there should be a conflict between the two families.

But he saw the intimacy of the conversation between the two sides, and it was obvious that Sun Dewang and the Li family had a close relationship.

Sun Dewang was the last to walk into the shed, and he also saw Long Zun standing at the door of the shed, and when he passed by, he snorted.

After taking a few steps, he stepped back and whispered in Long Zun's ear, "Unless you don't go on stage, I will let you know the fate of offending me." ”

Without waiting for Long Zun to answer, Sun Dewang turned to leave, walked into the position occupied by the Li family in a few steps, and bent down to sit on the cushion next to Li Chongzhong.

"The competition began, and the contestants went to the ring. A black-clothed Tianlong guard walked outside the shed, standing outside, shouting into the shed.

The twenty-five contestants in the shed got up one after another, walked out of the shed one by one, and headed to the ring.

When they arrived at the ring, there was a black-clothed Tianlongwei who announced the rules of the competition, twenty-five contestants, who were willing to go to the ring to defend the ring, as long as they persevered to the end, or defeated all the challengers, they would be the top ten in the Tiancheng County Martial Arts Association.

After announcing the rules, the black-clothed Tianlongwei left the ring, leaving the ten empty rings for the twenty-five contestants under the ring.

Twenty-five people, you look at me, I look at you, no one has boarded, and they all know that the first person to climb the ring suffers the most.

After a while, no one was in the ring, Zhao Wuhua turned around and glanced at the two Zhao family disciples beside him, one of them nodded, turned over and jumped into the No. 1 ring.

Chen Laohan of the Chen family made the same move behind him, and a young man walked out of the Chen family and jumped into the second ring.

The third ring was Li Jing of the Li family, jumped up, and as a defender, stood in the ring and looked at the other contestants who were eager to try below.

Ring 4, Ring 5, Ring 6, Ring 7, Ring 8, Ring 9, and Ring 10 all have contestants jumping up to defend in turn.

Long Zun looked at the defenders above the ring one by one, the fourth to tenth rings were all people outside the three major families, and basically the number of challengers under these seven rings was the largest.

The first to defend the battle suffers, the further back the advantage, Long Zun is ready to wait a little longer, and when the challenger is almost done, he will pick the weakest defender to challenge.

There were many people with this idea, and no one was willing to challenge it for a while, leaving the defenders in the ring, standing alone in the smooth bluestone ring.

"No one has boarded the challenge within fifty breaths, and the defender automatically succeeds in defending and advances to the top ten of the martial arts meeting. The black-clothed Tianlongwei saw through the careful thinking of the contestants and announced another rule.

After this rule was announced, the lethality was not insignificant, and the contestants under the ring began to be restless, and some people were about to hold back and give up the idea of picking up the bargain at the end.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally someone couldn't bear it anymore and jumped into the ring to challenge the defenders on the ring.

At this time, who cares who is from which family, who doesn't want to be promoted to the top ten, or rewarded, and more importantly, the top ten can go to the royal capital and accept the guidance of Wu Zong, who was born in the royal family of Tianlong Kingdom.

The children of the three major families in the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 rings also began to be challenged.

However, most of the people who challenged them were people from the other two families of the three major families, and the three major families competed with each other, and neither of them wanted the other party to get the top ten in the martial arts meeting first.
