Chapter 517: Before the Exam

When you open the door in the morning, the snow is full of snow, and the snow is clear and the sun is cold

Although it is already the cold winter season, today's Western Zhou Imperial Capital is extremely lively.

The noisy popularity has dispelled a lot of the cold in winter, and both ordinary people and princes and nobles are chatting with each other.

Because today is the official day of the annual martial arts examination.

According to the past practice, the martial arts examination will be held for three full days, and every martial artist participating in the examination will have a high-intensity fierce battle during these three days.

The previous martial arts examinations have been a painstaking tempering for the martial arts competitions they have participated in.

If you want to pass the martial arts exam, the final gold list title, and even become the champion in the final palace exam, you need not only to be strong enough to be outstanding, but also to have endurance and the ability to fight continuously far beyond others.

Because during the martial arts examination, there is no clear rest time!

A lot of times, if you're unlucky, you're likely to run into a back-to-back battle, and there's no room for you to take a break.

And this kind of situation, in the first two days of fighting, will be very common and frequent!

Any martial artist who can finally be named on the gold list must be the real leader in all martial arts.

Many times, those who are not strong-willed, even if they have an advantage in strength, will be eliminated in the course of such a tragic battle.

Because there are too many people participating in the martial arts, and the time for the whole examination is too short, it undoubtedly makes the whole process look extremely intense.

Of course, in the previous martial arts, there are also some people whose strength far exceeds that of Tongji, due to the great suppression of the realm, this kind of high-frequency combat has limited consumption for them, these martial arts are seeds before participating in the examination, and everyone will not only end up with the title of the gold list, but also will inevitably be among the best, becoming the top martial artists in the list.

If you want to become such a martial artist, you must at least break through to become a martial artist.

"Good...... That's a lot of people...... And...... And all of them have such a strong aura, there are very few fourth-grade martial artists, and they are almost invisible, and the weakest ones almost have the realm of fifth-grade martial artists......"

Peng Ziqi looked at the martial arts around him, and muttered a little sluggishly.

Under the leadership of Shen Linfeng, the ten martial artists who participated in the examination came to the venue where the examination was held, and went through the corresponding registration procedures, and then got their respective groupings for the first time.

Due to the fact that there are too many martial arts to participate in the examination, the first stage is a direct knockout round, and there is no round-robin to play.

In other words, as long as you lose one game, you will be eliminated directly and lose the chance to advance to the next round.

In the past, the students of the Linfeng Martial Arts Gym only had the best result of passing the fourth round in the knockout round, and as long as they passed one more round, they could enter the sequence of the title of the gold list and participate in the round-robin, but they met a seed martial arts in the fifth round, and finally lost without suspense because of the real difference in strength.

In this examination, Shen Linfeng had already put forward his expectations for the ten students he brought before he came.

At least all of them have passed the first round, and the strongest student has to work hard to pass the fourth round, as long as it can be on par with the previous best results, the recommended places in the Linfeng Martial Arts Hall next year will be correspondingly more generous.

From this point of view, Shen Linfeng is still quite pragmatic.

"Hey, sure enough, every time they are grouped, all the seed martial arts will be separated, and at the same time, all the martial arts that have reached the level of the eighth rank martial artist or above can apply to become a reserve seed in advance, and if the group conditions allow, let them avoid meeting in the knockout round in advance as much as possible...... Although such a rule does avoid the early encounter of the strong, it ...... We don't have any chance at all. ”

The strongest of the ten martial artists in the Linfeng Martial Arts Pavilion looked at the grouping list in his hand and said in a very melancholy tone.

He has the realm of a seventh-rank martial artist, but he has only just been promoted to a seventh-rank martial artist for more than a month, so his strength can only be regarded as the bottom among all seventh-grade martial artists.

Despite having the confidence to make it through the first two rounds, he wasn't absolutely sure that he would break through the four.

"Just do your best, every time you take the exam, there will be house slaves from various wealthy families to come to watch, select some new stars who have not been named on the gold list, but have potential, and hire them as family guards, which is also a good way out for you."

Shen Linfeng also said helplessly, then clapped his hands and continued: "Okay, according to your respective groups, go to the area of martial arts, enjoy this test, and show yourself as much as possible, which is your greatest success." Don't be disqualified because you're late, that's a great pity. ”

Hearing what the owner of his own house said, several people naturally dispersed immediately.

However, Peng Ziqi still walked with Xia Fan.

Because the two of them are in the same group, they happen to be next to each other, and the area where the martial arts are fought is also next to each other.

"Hopefully, my opponent in the first round must be a fourth-rank martial artist, so that I can have hope of winning. If I am eliminated in the first round, then I am afraid that no one will be willing to hire me as a family guard. ”

On the way towards the area, Peng Ziqi always thought about it in fragments.

Xia Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said, "Don't worry, as long as you remember what I taught you and fight by painting, then at least people below the Martial Sect level will have enough ability to defeat." As long as you have a little luck, you should be able to win the gold list in this exam, don't always look like you haven't seen the world. ”

"Xia Fan, I'...... I don't doubt that the method you taught me can defeat Senior Brother Dewu, I know very well that what you taught me is definitely a profound method. It's just that...... It's just that I don't have much confidence in myself. ”

Peng Ziqi explained with some embarrassment.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the area where they were going to fight, and there were martial arts discussions everywhere nearby, and they were talking loudly with each other, but they were all almost the same names.

"This time, the martial champion must be the 'Great Breaker' Meng Nan! It is said that Mengnan has reached the realm of the Five-Rank Martial Sect, and there is no opponent at all in this examination. ”

"Perhaps, 'Drunk Xiangjiang' Yu Minglou has already broken through to become a fourth-grade martial sect at the beginning of the year, and now almost a year has passed, maybe it has reached or even surpassed the realm of the fifth-grade martial sect."

"Have you forgotten the 'Dryland Flying Dragon' Zang Fuwei? Although Zang Fuwei's realm should only be about the second-grade martial arts, relying on the peculiarity of the exercises, the real combat ability will never be worse than the two you said. ”

"These names...... It's familiar......"

Peng Ziqi scratched his head, looked at the group list in his hand again, and then his face was completely bitter.

The tone of his voice was already crying: "Xia Fan...... Of these people they are talking about...... That Yu Ming Lou is my group. ”
