Chapter 514: The Knockout Tournament Begins (Asking for Flowers)
At this time, it has been an hour since the incident, and the originally lively rest area of Mingjian Villa has become crowded, only occasionally one or two people from the Duanmu family pass by, but there is a good show left here that people talk about, and at the same time, these martial arts people remember one person, that is Liu Fan, a character who dares to argue with a wealthy family, as for the unlucky Tang Jue, in addition to carrying a little more infamy, he is full of injuries and a waste hand.
At the same time, in the back mountains of the famous sword villa is very lively, but see that the terrain here is flat, the space is open, there are dozens of acres of mountainous land, it is not a problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people, the martial arts competition has set up a total of nine rings, of which the eight-sided small ring is for the knockout, and the largest ring in the center is enabled during the one-eighth final.
There are three days in this martial arts conference, the first stage is in the form of a knockout match, a one-on-one fair duel, three wins in a row can enter the next round, rotate in turn, and finally each ring to determine the top four to enter the top 32.
The second stage is the qualifying match, one-on-one heads-up, the top four in each ring catch heads-up, and the winner enters the top 16 to compete for the top ten.
The third stage is the quarterfinals, grab the right heads-up, the winner enters the quarterfinals, and the remaining eight losers can only enter the repechage melee link, eight people compete for two top ten places, and the two strongest make up the top ten, of course, it is not that the top ten can sit back and relax, because there is a challenge after that, this is the time of the real test, it can be said that it is prepared for some people who have strength but are eliminated in the knockout round, of course, the top ten players are not endlessly challenged, everyone only accepts one challenge, If you defeat it, you can become one of the top ten, and at the same time, you will get the ticket to participate in the Chinese Martial Arts Conference of the Double Ninth Festival in September, so it is said that this is the time to really test your willpower.
The next is naturally the quarterfinals, eight people catch each other, the winner enters the semi-finals, and so on until the final finals, but before the finals there is a decisive battle of three or four places, don't look at it is just a ranking competition, but the two are completely different, the organizer of this martial arts conference, Duanmujia, has prepared prizes for the top three, the champion is a famous sword, the runner-up is a small Huandan who can increase the strength of half a Jiazi, and the third place is a high-level martial arts cheatbook, everyone in the martial arts knows, The sword of the Famous Sword Villa is definitely extraordinary, and the elixir with power is even more striking, as for the high-level martial arts cheats for some small families, it is equivalent to the existence of family heirlooms, so the battle for the third place is equally fierce.
At this time, from time to time, many people on the field were shouting, shouting "Come on!" "This is a strange thing, but this time the family martial arts conference has begun.
Now the first stage of the knockout round is underway, the number of participants this time is about 200 people, large and small martial arts families as many as 30, it can be seen that the Chinese martial arts have a long heritage, plus other personnel, at this time Dabi gathered a total of nearly 1,000 people, but compared to more than a billion Chinese people, this person is just a drop in the ocean.
Without further ado, the knockout round has quietly started under the referee's declaration, but there is no Liu Fan in the crowd, which is not surprising, he came to see the excitement instead of coming to participate, but Ouyang Shengnan is also missing, it is a bit too much to say, in fact, after Liu Fan beat Tang Jue before, the alliance between the Tang family and the Ouyang family has cracked, and Ouyang Shengnan, who is the fuse that destroys this relationship, will inevitably be questioned by the elders of the clan, and it is inevitable to be scolded.
However, Ouyang Shengnan was also tough, he actually endured his grievances, and was trained by the patriarch in the rest area of Ouyang's house for more than half an hour, and finally let her leave when the time of the conference came, and the reason why Liu Fan did not appear at the conference was to wait for Ouyang Shengnan, of course, Liu Fan was not waiting alone, at this time he was still followed by a small tail, a sixteen or seven-year-old girl, wasn't it the little girl who followed Ximenhao.
This girl is Ximen Hao's cousin - Ximen Rou, who also came to participate in the martial arts conference, don't look at people's young age, but she has the strength of the peak of the human rank, but she looks very weak on the outside, she doesn't like to talk and looks introverted, speaking of which, she still has a little relationship with Liu Fan, Ximen Rou is the granddaughter of the late Liu Laolang's life and death brother Ximen Xiao, Ximen died for Liu Fan to steal "Zixia Divine Skill" on Huashan, Liu Fan also felt guilty for Ximen Rou, and did not take her away from Ximen's house earlier, You can also suffer less for her.
According to Ouyang Shengnan's introduction, since the death of Ximen Xiao's father and son, only Ximen Rou's mother and daughter were left, this orphan and widow are naturally not treated by others in Ximen's family, and there are even many rumors that are not conducive to the mother and daughter, saying that both mother and daughter are ominous people, Ximen Rou's mother is a child of an ordinary family, and the Ximen family is not appropriate, the household is not right, at that time, there were people in Ximen's family who strongly opposed this family business, but Ximen Xiao liked this daughter-in-law very much, but unfortunately the second year after marrying, Ximen Xiao had an accident, At this time, there were some rumors in Hou Ximen's family, and on the day Ximen Rou was born, her father Ximen Jie was poisoned and died for no reason, which made the Ximen family more sure of the fate of the mother and daughter broom star.
Losing the protection of men, the status of Ximen Rou's mother and daughter in the Ximen family has declined even more sharply, and even the subordinates can call them around, it is conceivable that Ximen Rou survives in an environment where people are bullied everywhere, and her childhood is almost spent in fear, which also causes her autistic and weak character.
Listening to Ouyang Shengnan's words, Liu Fan was eager to destroy the Ximen family, but in the end there was no action, a harmonious society does not just rely on fighting and killing, so there is also dry heavenly harmony, so for Ximen Rou, Liu Fan is both guilty and pity, no matter what the reaction of the Ximen family is, he took Ximen Rou away from Ximen Hao, of course, there is also Ouyang Shengnan's persuasion to Ximen Rou, at this time Ouyang Shengnan's identity plays a great role, Ximen Xiao was originally friendly with the Ouyang family in the capital, Usually, Ouyang Shengnan often goes to visit Ximen Rou's mother and daughter, which is recognized by Ximen Rou, otherwise it is impossible to accept Liu Fan easily with Ximen Rou's character.
"Little ...... Brother Xiaofan, do you think Sister Ouyang will be scolded by her family! I'm really worried. At this time, Ximen, who was sitting on the stone bench, said to Liu Fan timidly.
"Huh? How could Xiao Rou think that? Liu Fan put down his hands holding his chest, turned his head and smiled at Ximen Rou, and then said with a comforting smile: "You can rest assured that your sister Ouyang will be fine, and if there is really anything, isn't there still a brother!" If anyone dares to bully her, I will beat his little ass and see who dares to say a word. ”
"Flutter ......" Ximen Rou smiled when she heard this: "Brother Xiaofan, I'm not a child anymore, what you said is obviously coaxing a child." ”
"It's right to be able to laugh, young people should be energetic, smile less than ten years, smile more and people will be more beautiful, you can't always strain your face with a sad face, you must know that depression can also become a disease." Liu Fan didn't answer positively, but looked at Ximen Rou's smiling face, and couldn't help but be old-fashioned.
"Really?" When Ximen Rou heard Liu Fan's words, she couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart, and then raised her head slightly, flashed her innocent eyes, and said happily: "Then I will only smile at you in the future, is it okay?" ”
"Yes, of course you can, it's absolutely no problem, haha......" At this time, although Liu Fan smiled brightly, but looking at this somewhat innocent little girl, his heart was empty, so he had to haha to transfer the words.
"It's so good, giggle......" Ximen Rou didn't care whether Liu Fan was weak or not, as soon as he got Liu Fan's approval, he immediately jumped up with joy, but when he looked up, he saw Ouyang Shengnan coming out of the room, so he hurriedly trotted over, and said as he ran: "Sister Shengnan, Brother Xiaofan said that if someone scolds you, he will help you beat that person's little ass." ”
Ouyang Shengnan was nothing when he heard this, but Liu Fan was careless and almost fell to the ground, fortunately his waist was strong enough, otherwise this embarrassment would be lost.
"Really? As soon as I went out, I heard you laughing so happily, talking so happily! Ouyang Shengnan didn't think much about it, and said with a smile, but the moment she raised her eyebrows, the haze between her eyebrows disappeared in a flash, and it was just Liu Fan who saw it as a truth, and Liu Fan knew that he must have been educated by his family as soon as he thought about it.
"Of course it's true, you don't know that Brother Xiaofan is good." When Ximen Rou faced Ouyang Shengnan, she showed a little girl who had no scheming at all, that kind of heartfelt trust was undoubtedly revealed, maybe in Ximen Rou's weak heart, I am afraid that in addition to her mother, Ouyang Shengnan is the only person she can trust, but now there is another Liu Fan, in fact, the reason why Liu Fan can be recognized by Ximen Rou is also thanks to the breath leaked from the dragon divine power in his body, the dragon divine power is also the aura of heaven and earth, but the level is relatively high, and innocent people are particularly sensitive to the aura of heaven and earth, This can arouse Ximenrou's favor, so that he trusts Liu Fan unconditionally.
Liu Fan will not be as simple as Ximen Rou, he came to Ouyang Shengnan in a few steps, patted her fragrant shoulder gently, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Is it the Ouyang family that is embarrassing you? Do you need my help? ”
"I'm fine, it's not the first time I've been trained! I'm used to it. Ouyang Shengnan heard Liu Fan's sincere concern, and suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart, immediately waved his hand and smiled, and then took Ximen Rou's hand and said: "The conference has begun, let's go quickly, I still have a game in a while, you two will cheer me on off the stage!" ”
"Good! All right! Sister Shengnan, you are the best, Brother Xiaofan and I will definitely cheer for you! As soon as Ouyang Shengnan's words were finished, Ximen Rou shouted happily.
"Giggle...... Xiaorou is still the most well-behaved! Looking at the smiling Ximen Rou, Ouyang Shengnan couldn't help laughing, gently pinched her little Qiong's nose, and told affectionately: "At that moment, my sister is going to go up to the game, you remember to follow your little Fan brother closely, don't get separated." ”
"Then let's go......" Liu Fan took the lead and walked out, while Ouyang Shengnan and Ximen Rou followed closely behind, and just like that, the combination of a dragon and two phoenixes walked towards the back mountain.
