Yunshui City, the gladiatorial arena

The sun has not yet fully risen, and some faint sunlight shines into the interior through dozens of pillars, forming countless dark and interlaced tracks on the gladiatorial arena, and the ground that is originally different from the old and new is even more gloomy at the moment, and the new and old colors of the stone slabs are enough to see how many great battles this gladiatorial arena has experienced.

This gladiatorial arena is usually only used for duels between those who are from famous families or sects, the only exception is the selection of the martial arts, but so far the people who have entered the gladiatorial arena through the selection of the martial arts are all people from the four major sects, Bai Chen, it can be said that he has broken a routine in the past.

Bai Chen's success undoubtedly greatly inspired the majority of civilian warriors, which is why Bai Chen was so enthusiastic in Yunshui City. The four major sects, which were originally unattainable, seemed to have become no longer so sacred at this moment.

In the eastern part of the gladiatorial arena, a group of teenagers of the same age gathered here, they were the leaders in this martial arts selection, representing the highest level of talent among the young generation of Yunshui City, Bai Chen, was impressively listed!

The crowd of figures, the noisy conversation, all become less annoying because of the vastness of the gladiatorial arena. Although the sun has not yet filled the earth, nearly half of the people in Yunshui City have already awakened, and the place where their hearts want is naturally this gladiatorial arena.

How many people in Yunshui City don't want to meet Bai Chen, who defeated Ouyang Luo? What's more, there is no ticket to enter the gladiatorial arena, which means that except for some nobles, the rest of the people are fair competition positions, if you want to win a seat, you must first have enough strength, if you are under the strength, you always get up on the third watch, and you will be snatched away by others after dawn.

For such a situation, the major martial arts have never disdained to discipline them, in their eyes, this is just a group of ugly people fighting for ugliness. It is precisely because there is no one to discipline them, so some people with some strength are bred to occupy seats in advance, and then sell them at a high price to make a fortune.

And some business people will not worry about them because of this little money, after all, they can save trouble by spending a little money, but they can also be idle, and the people who occupy the seat are also grasping their psychology and becoming more and more rampant, so although this gladiatorial arena does not need a ticket, the price paid to find a seat is often much higher than the price of a ticket.

The light of the sun finally shot into the gladiatorial arena like a trapped beast's cage, and the surrounding area of the gladiatorial arena was completely occupied by spectators who had not grabbed seats, once again encircling the originally closed gladiatorial arena.

In the eastern part of the gladiatorial arena, the group of genius teenagers may also have been affected by this gladiatorial arena, and none of them spoke, among them, Nangong Xue'er was no longer wearing that kind of tight-fitting plain clothes, but wearing a looser robe, which was a little less cold and majestic than before, but a little more lazy and charming. Nangong Xue'er still covered her face with a veil, but her gaze swept over a man from time to time, and there was a little worry in her eyes.

At this moment, the violent bell rang, and the entire gladiatorial arena seemed to tremble because of this bell, which showed the strength of the shock caused by the bell, but it was such a bell, when it came to everyone's ears, there was no discomfort in the slightest, but it made the listener feel refreshed.

Bai Chen also sensed the abnormality of this bell, so he asked Xiao Xing, "Master, why can this bell mobilize the spiritual power of my whole body, and I don't feel the slightest discomfort?"

Xiao Xing's almost unchanged contemptuous words sounded in Bai Chen's mind again, "That bell should be a Buddhist thing." ”

Bai Chen silently replied "Oh", in fact, Bai Chen's first thought was also Buddhism, because Bai Chen had heard Grandpa Lin talk about various exercises in the world, and the three major categories were Buddha, immortals and demons, and Buddhism was the least powerful among them, but it could be in the first place, precisely because Buddhism can correct people's hearts. And the comfort just now is very similar to the Dharma in Grandpa Lin's mouth.

Seventy-two sounds, implying the seventy-second martial arts selection.

After seventy-two rings, the figures that had been crowded completely stopped, and no one spoke, all staring at the center of the gladiatorial arena, waiting for the person who could announce the beginning.

At this moment, a figure rose into the air and whispered in a voice full of majesty: "Everyone, in Xia Lu Changsheng, Elder of the Blazing Sun Martial Mansion, today I Lu will preside over this final feast, Ling Yun's cultivation is a little lacking, and it may not be enough to support this grand scene." ”

The words fell, and the quiet crowd became noisy again. At this time, Lu Fusheng, who was beside Bai Chen, said in a low voice: "The previous martial arts selections have not been fair, and the martial arts have never been involved, and this Lingyun has already been very unruly, and now, this Blazing Yang Martial Mansion seems to want to directly take over the selection of the martial arts." ”

Lu Fusheng's words undoubtedly solved the doubts in Bai Chen's heart, at the beginning of the selection of the Martial Mansion, Bai Chen felt that the Blazing Yang Martial Mansion had a strong hostility towards the rest of the Martial Mansions, like a demonstration, and now it seems that they are all preparing for the present. What is the purpose of not hesitating to be the enemy of the Martial Mansions? Is it really just to compete for the talents selected by the Martial Mansions?

Bai Chen shook his head slightly, because over the years, Bai Chen had heard of the strength of the Blazing Yang Martial Mansion countless times, and in a small fishing village like himself, he knew that Blazing Yang was the head of the Martial Mansion, how could others not know? If he really just wanted to compete for talents, he only needed to beckon at the end, and then promised some benefits, then six or seven out of ten of these talents would definitely defect to Blazing Sun.

Just as Bai Chen was still thinking, Lu Changsheng's voice sounded again, "Lu Qingchen and Bai Chen stepped forward. ”

Bai Chen and Lu Qingchen got up at the same time, and looked at each other at the same time, there was no distraction in their eyes, only war intent. I saw Lu Qingchen's white clothes move slightly, and in the next moment, he was already in the ring, and the holy step under Bai Chen's feet slowly opened, and then took a step forward, and the place where the footsteps landed was the ring.

The final duel of the martial arts selection finally kicked off, and it was the top talent duel among the youngest generation in Yunshui City. When this moment came, the audience applauded thunderously, at this time, everyone didn't care about Lu Changsheng's violations, they were only here to see the demeanor of the genius.

On the ring, Bai Chen and Lu Qingchen were dozens of feet apart, and the green mangs flashed, and the two swords of Youlong were already in their hands.

Lu Qingchen, who was originally gentle and elegant, was like a sword at the moment he held the sword, sharp, cold and murderous intent. With a low shout, the green sword light bloomed instantly, and the sound of breaking the sky rose from the ground, and then there was a muffled sound, and the flying dust shook, only to see that Lu Qingchen's dragon double sword in his hand had submerged nearly half of the ground at this moment, and where it was inserted, there was not even the slightest crack.

Although Lu Qingchen's sword was out of his hand, his intention was one step better. The sword intent pointed directly at Bai Chen, and said: "Before the selection of the Martial Mansion, my father once said to me that in this selection, except for Xue'er, I have no opponent, and I have repeatedly warned me to be careful in the face of Xue'er, but my answer is that my opponent is only myself from beginning to end, and what I am pursuing is also the ultimate of the sword, if I can't even defeat the genius in the corner of Yunshui City, how can I talk about the ultimate of the sword?"

"But now it seems ······" Lu Qingchen took a deep breath, and the battle intent in his eyes strengthened again, "I have to admit that your talent has surpassed me, if I am the same age as you, I will definitely not have your strength today, and if I give you another year, maybe I will not have the opportunity to share the stage with you." But even so, I will definitely go all out today, because the growth of a peerless powerhouse requires a huge stage, and this small Yunshui City is not worthy of our ambition at all. ”

"Bai Chen, you may be my destined opponent, your talent is far higher than I imagined, maybe you are more qualified than me to be the protagonist of this era, but the more so, the more my fighting spirit will be. Bai Chen, don't let me down!"

Bai Chen's fighting spirit was completely ignited, in the whole selection, Bai Chen only felt intrigue, and now Bai Chen has finally found a real martial artist, and the martial artist is more cultivated, this is the sentence that Lin Lao has said to Bai Chen the most, and it is also a sentence that Bai Chen remembers.

Lu Qingchen has his own ambitions, but he doesn't want to snuggle up to others, all he has now is what he has with his sword. He is eager for challenges and is not afraid of fighting, which is the heart that a warrior should have and the heart that he should cultivate.

Bai Chen said slowly: "A year ago, I learned the news of the death of my parents, I have been taking care of me, Grandpa Lin, who treats me as a child, made me make the first choice in my life, he asked me if I choose to step into the martial arts, he said that if I step into the martial arts, then the enemy I will face will be far stronger than I imagined, but I still choose to fight in the martial arts." I don't want revenge, because I know that this is what my parents want, I just want to be stronger, as long as I can protect my loved ones, and I don't want to be helpless when disaster strikes, and I don't even have the qualifications to fight for my life. ”

"But even so, after I stepped into Yunshui City, I encountered one injustice after another, and I gradually understood the meaning of the background, Yunshui City is full of people who have been oppressed by you magnates, many of them are just civilians like me, just because they have no background, Hu Niu was abolished on the spot in the selection, and she may stop forging bones for the rest of her life. From the day Tiger Niu was deposed, I vowed that one day, I would definitely climb to the top of this martial arts peak, and I would break the shackles of these fates, so that everyone in the world could control their own destiny. ”

"Now, I want to ask you, Lu Qingchen, if you don't have your current background, can you still say the so-called ultimate in swordsmanship? If I am your destined opponent, then I have to say that I will not let you down. If it had been me three days ago, I might not have the qualifications to say this, but now, you can't keep up with me!"
