Tang Lang was stimulated by the spirit wine, and he didn't leave any emotion for Wen Yuyu in his speech, which made him angry and annoyed: "It's obvious that you are in the limelight, and everyone will be targeted, and now you dare to speak strongly! City Lord, if you don't punish severely, just ask how to give orders in the future!"

Feng Honglang looked at the two of them repeatedly for a long time before he said quietly: "Tang Lang's actions tonight have raised the face of Yuanshui City, but it has also buried hidden dangers. So I decided that if Tang Lang didn't show up in the group stage tomorrow, I would double the tax rate of Duobao Villa, and if it was really like what Wen Yuyu said, causing the whole army of Yuanshui City to be wiped out, then the tax rate of Duobao Villa would be doubled again!"

Seeing Tang Lang's extremely dissatisfied expression, Feng Honglang continued: "But if Tang Lang can stand out from the group stage, no matter how many county guard medals he wins, I will award the same number of medals, and if he can finally enter the top ten, I will give additional rewards, and the same will be true for the other two!"

Only then did Tang Lang calm down the resentment in his chest a little, Feng Honglang waved his hand and said, "Wen Yuyu and You Ning, you two go back to rest first, I still have a few words to explain to Tang Lang!"

When the two left, Feng Honglang smiled bitterly: "Tang Lang, I hope you don't mind! As a superior, many times you can't act according to your own preferences, you have to balance all aspects of the relationship, do you understand?"

"Hmph!" Tang Lang snorted coldly unconvinced: "Isn't it just to consider the Wen family and the Wind Sect behind it? Give me a little time, my Chamber of Commerce will be easy to surpass the Wen family! I have nothing to blame for the city lord's approach, but if Wen Yuyu deliberately targets me again, don't blame me for fighting back!"

Feng Honglang said: "Tang Lang, I will warn him, but you can't deliberately stir up trouble, you can compete moderately within Yuanshui City, but when it comes to the outside, you must act in unison, and no one can be an exception!"

After the exchange, Tang Lang returned to the room, and was thinking about how to deal with it tomorrow, when Cheng Bao, the apprentice who had been recruited back a few days ago, came to him again.

"Boss, I really couldn't help it in the past two days, I tried to build one with some of the materials I bought that day and the design of the butterfly knife you gave me, but I didn't expect it to succeed in one time!

Cheng Bao was full of excitement and held a short blade with a cold light, the shape was similar to the butterfly knife used by Tang Lang, but it was even smaller and more exquisite, only half a foot long.

Tang Lang happily took the short blade and injected spiritual power into it at will, and the blade spewed out more than half a foot of light, which was the same as the spiritual weapon he had tried in the artifact shop before: "Great! You didn't say that in the apprenticeship stage, it would be good to succeed once out of ten, how could you succeed once!"

Cheng Bao said embarrassedly: "Boss, in fact, when I don't go to work every day, I carve out one weapon formation after another in my mind, and the most basic of them can already be sketched with my eyes closed, so I can do it in one go." ”

"The most basic is fine! I don't even have a spiritual weapon now, let's use these most basic formations to build first, and when you become more proficient, let's study more complex ones, I'm optimistic about you! These days, you can let go of refining, regardless of the success rate, it's always right to practice your hands, and if you don't have enough materials, you can buy it!"

Tang Lang took out all the remaining spars on his body, the number was almost two thousand, and he stuffed them all into Cheng Bao, which moved the other party beyond measure.

Looking at the three sharp blades in front of him, two long and one short, Tang Lang had several different tactics in his mind, after tonight's banquet, I believe that now his information has been placed in front of many city lords, how to use the accidentally added spirit weapon short knife to surprise others, Tang Lang fell into deep thought......

The night was fleeting, and the next morning, Tang Lang was woken up by the noisy sound in the city, pushed open the window and looked out, the streets and alleys in the city were all lit up, the decoration was joyful, and the residents were all dressed neatly, rubbing shoulders and walking towards the outside of the city.

Because the rules of this annual meeting have changed, the venue is deliberately arranged in an open place outside the city, and residents in the city can go to watch it if they are interested, so it is the scene in front of them.

When Tang Lang arrived at the real competition venue, he realized that his judgment of the matter just now was still insufficient, and tens of thousands of city citizens arrived at the scene, filling a huge circle of stands without friends, and there were already six fields in the middle of the stands, each of which was also a hundred zhang in size.

Even Feng Honglang was frightened by the battle in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "What happened to Lord County Guard this year?

Wen Yuyu was surprised and delighted: "What a glory it would be to win in front of so many audiences!"

Tang Lang deliberately echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, being beaten in front of tens of thousands of viewers will definitely be memorable!"

Seeing that the two were about to pinch each other again, Feng Honglang glared at the two of them fiercely before giving up: "If you have the strength to play the game, don't fight here! Tang Lang, you remember for me, if you can't pass the preliminary round, your villa will have to double the tax!"

"Don't worry, Lord City, you have enough medals, I'm going to do a big job!" Tang Lang was already gearing up, and he couldn't wait to go down.

It didn't take long for all the candidates from all cities to participate in the competition to arrive at the scene, and the county guard Yin calmly appeared in the center of the ring stand, only to see his hands waving again and again, and an invisible force lifted his body to a height of dozens of zhang.

"When you reach the sect level, you can get rid of the shackles of the earth and soar in the air as you like, it's really desirable!" Tang Lang looked up at the county guard, and a wave of envy arose.

"Everyone!" Yin Tairan's voice resounded through the heavens and the earth, and there were countless formation light curtains magnifying his image dozens of times, so that every audience present could see it clearly.

"Everyone must be a little curious, why is this year's annual meeting so bothersome?" Yin Tairan looked around, and the entire grandstand became silent: "It's all because our Tianlan is about to start a war with Dark Flame again!"

The news seemed to throw a boulder on the still lake, which immediately caused an uproar, and the entire grandstand was in chaos.

"Why? Why do you want to go to war again?"

"Our Shao'an County is very close to Dark Flame, will it be dangerous?"

......

"Quiet!" Yin Tairan pressed his hand down, and the powerful power of the Six Rank Mantra Sect was undoubtedly revealed, restoring silence to the stands.

"When I first heard the news, I was also a little dazed. Dark Flame invaded Tianqing before, and we didn't make a move, but according to the latest battle report, five days ago, Dark Flame's troops pointed directly at the Hongxu Principality and the Bibang Kingdom, if Tianlan continues to sit idly by, Dark Flame will soon be able to form an encirclement of us!"

Tang Lang was also surprised when he heard the news, it turned out that the dark flame was plotting

It is so big, not only does it want to annex Tianqing, but now even Hongxu and Bibang are in the bag, and the last few parties will attack and have a decisive battle with Tianlan.

He thought of the killer he had encountered before, could there be any connection between this......

Yin Tairan's speech continued: "Tianlan and Dark Flame have clashed several times, and every time in the past, they were defensive, although they beat Dark Flame back, but they were always a little passive. This time, the top echelons of the empire unanimously approved that Tianlan should take the initiative to attack, and when the Dark Flame Division was divided into four forces, he would send a large army to directly attack the Yellow Dragon and directly attack the Dark Flame Mainland!"

"That's why I have made this annual meeting so powerful, because this is also the clarion call for the dark flame!" Yin Tairan waved his hand, and part of the formation light curtain switched the picture to the six fields in the middle of the stands.

Only then did everyone realize that the six fields were also very mysterious, all of them were expanded by using space formations, and each field had a range of several miles, and different scenes such as forests, grasslands, streets, and mountains were also arranged, all of which simulated the real combat environment.

"Shao'an County has not seen sword soldiers for many years, and even a clan-level powerhouse lacks a murderous aura. Therefore, from the beginning of this competition, it is necessary to let the forty-two most outstanding young masters of Shao'an County experience real battles and get stained with blood!"

When You Ning heard this, his blood had already become spurting, and his whole person was in a state of excitement: "I can finally fight! I have been in the army for so many years, and I have always looked forward to one day being able to go into battle to kill the enemy, haha......"

The rest of the contestants also had different expressions, some excited, some panicked, and some dazed......

"The annual meeting competition starts now, please forty-two players to enter, and they have been distributed according to their personal strength and the city they belong to! Before everyone enters, they will get three county guard medals, and each time they meet the loser, they will be given a medal, if the medal is zero, they will be eliminated until there are three people left in each venue!"

All the formation light curtains above the stands were spliced into six large light curtains, each of which had the names of seven people, Tang Lang took a closer look and found that his name was on one of the light curtains:

Tang Lang, Six-Rank Spell Warrior, Yuanshui City;

Xin Chen, Wupin Martial Master, Shuangyancheng;

Zhuo Yiran, six-rank martial artist, Dongtiancheng;

Hua Haochen, a five-grade martial artist, such as Suicheng;

Nie Tianlu, Six-Rank Martial Artist, Yangyucheng;

Yu Mingda, eight-grade spell master, Liaochang City;

Ivy, the seven-rank spellmaster, Ninghe City.

Tang Lang's group was a little dangerous, and he was divided into two Shao'an Bajie, namely Yu Mingda and Ai Wei.

Yu Mingda, with a capable face, is not an easy person at first glance, and although Ai Wei is one of the few female players, she must be extraordinary if she can be selected as the eight heroes of Shao'an;

The background of the light curtain where Tang Lang is located is a ruined wall, which should simulate a city destroyed by war, and the terrain is complex and abnormal.

At the same time as Tang Lang looked at the opponents in the group, Zhuang Tianrui came from behind: "Tang Lang, you can't fold in the group stage, I still look forward to fighting with you!"

"Okay, you wait for me, I will definitely let you get your wish!" Tang Lang replied confidently.

"A little samurai, if you dare to speak out here, you will definitely be beaten to your knees and beg for mercy after entering!"
