Wang Gongzi and Feng Qianyue didn't expect that Zhang Jian and I would be in a group, but they didn't think about it as much as I did, and they didn't doubt the fairness of the grouping mechanism, they just thought it was a coincidence. The two of them had seen Zhang Jian's horror, so they were very worried about my safety, Feng Qianyue even said to me: "Wang Feng, if you can't beat it, don't force yourself, don't fight with that pervert!" ”

Feng Qianyue was afraid that I would die under Zhang Jian's knife, and then be cut off by Zhang Jian's knife, and that scene was even unimaginable. Wang Gongzi is not afraid of my death, he thinks that with my strength, it is still okay to protect myself, but it may be a little difficult to win, so he still advises me to admit defeat as soon as possible if the situation is not right.

This is also normal, Wang Gongzi's impression of me is still stuck in the fact that I am not the opponent of him and Zhou Hao. I didn't defend their advice, after all, they were also for my good. I'm still wondering why Emperor Li manipulated the grouping, is it to make the fight more beautiful and exciting?

That's the most benign reason I can think of.

According to the strength of Zhang Jian and me, we can actually be selected for the top 24, but because we met in advance, there will be a stop here. The audition contest of more than 100 people was actually quite boring, and although the cheers on the scene came one after another, none of the battles so far could really mobilize everyone's attention. It wasn't until Zhang Jian's names and I sounded on the radio at the same time that water suddenly filled the underground hall like an oil pot, boiling and exploding at once, and a steady stream of sounds came from all directions.

"South Wang Feng and North Zhang Jian, they met so quickly?"

"Hey, this is a battle that I'm looking forward to, take a look!"

"I've always wondered which of them is better, and finally I have a chance! I voted for Wang Feng, and I was able to escape from the hands of the Dragon King, and my strength can be seen! ”

"I support Zhang Jian, I think he should be more ruthless!"

Not only did the sound come from all directions on the ground, but people also kept flocking to the No. 6 ring, and after a while, there was a sea of people near the ring, which caused almost no one to watch the other rings, and the scene was very embarrassing. However, no one cared about the feelings of the other competitors, and everyone just rushed over in waves, surrounded the No. 6 ring, and excitedly waited for the bout to begin.

Zhang Jian, who got the news in advance, was already standing on the ring at this moment, holding a steel knife in his hand, looking majestic and full of fighting spirit. His eyebrows were raised, the corners of his mouth twitched into a nonchalant smile, and he exuded an air of confidence and strength, and it was clear that he was sure of winning this battle. What's more, after the last battle, his steel knife did not wash away the bloodstains, and there was still a trace of residual blood flowing down the blade, dripping to the floor, which added a bit of violence and horror to him, looking like a killing god who had just crawled out of hell.

His appearance obviously aroused the popularity of many onlookers, "This is too handsome", "Yes, it looks so cool" and other voices sounded frequently, and some people asked: "Wang Feng, why haven't you seen him coming, won't you be scared away when you hear Zhang Jian's name?" ”

Even Zhang Jian on the stage is very satisfied with this public opinion environment, his head is raised higher, and his chest is straighter, it can be seen that he is the type who likes to be touted very much.

But actually, I was already in the audience, because there were so many people around me that I couldn't squeeze in at all. I had no choice but to say to a man with blue spots on his face who was standing in front of me, "Hello uncle, can you let me in?" ”

The people on the road are generally bad-tempered, and so is this man, his eyes glared, and he said fiercely: "Why? I came here first, if you want to see the excitement, find another location! ”

I reluctantly said, "Okay, but if I don't go in, this battle won't start." ”

The man was surprised and said, "Why? ”

I said, "Because I'm Wang Feng." ”

The man looked shocked and hurriedly gave way to me, with a few words of sorry.

In this way, after saying good things to more than a dozen people, I finally came to the stage smoothly. After I came on the field, there was a lot of cheering all around, and there were many people who supported me, and of course it was not ruled out that they just wanted to watch a good fight.

I went on stage and stood face to face with Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian squinted his eyes and said, "Very good, I thought you didn't dare to come." ”

I really don't know where his self-confidence comes from, whether it is fame or status, I am on par with him, I don't look down on him, why does he look down on me? I straightened myself up and said to him, "You think too much, I won't run away because you're scared." ”

There was a lot of disdain in my tone, and since he was so crazy, then I had to be even more crazy than him, and it seemed that I didn't take him seriously at all. My words obviously aroused Zhang Jian's dissatisfaction, he frowned, and said coldly: "Okay, since you are not afraid of death, I will send you back to heaven today!" I'm going to cut off your flesh piece by piece!" ”

After finishing speaking, he couldn't wait to say to the referee next to him: "You can start!" ”

The referee also seemed to know that neither of us was easy to mess with, so he hid to the side early, and when he heard Zhang Jian urging him, he immediately raised his hand and prepared to announce the start of the competition. However, at this moment, a long voice suddenly sounded in the distance: "Emperor Li has arrived!" ”

Tonight's audition is to determine the top 24, more than 100 people elected more than 20 people, the participants are uneven, and the process is bound to be quite boring. Therefore, after attending the opening ceremony, the heads of major families and bigwigs from all walks of life went upstairs to chat and drink tea, or left the scene directly, and those who remained at the scene were some bastards at the bottom.

At this time, Emperor Li suddenly came, of course, everyone was shocked, everyone hurriedly gave way, and the scene became silent. In the crowd, eight men carried a simple sedan chair and walked slowly, and the white-haired and white-bearded Emperor Li sat on it, until he came to the stage, the sedan chair stopped, and Emperor Li walked down slowly, standing under the stage and looking at me and Zhang Jian with a smile.

Zhang Jian, who was still cold and arrogant just now, is now like a pug wagging his tail, and immediately rushed to the edge of the ring, with a smile on his face and said, "Why are you here?" The flattering posture was disgusting, as if Emperor Li was his own father.

However, since Emperor Li is here, I can't help but express it, so I also nodded at Emperor Li, which can be regarded as a greeting.

Emperor Li said with a smile: "You are now the two most powerful young people on the provincial road, representing the future and hope of the provincial city, of course I want to come and see!" ”

Zhang Jian nodded and said, "Thank you, thank you, I will definitely not disappoint your old man!" ”

Emperor Li nodded and continued: "Originally, with the strength of the two of you, let alone entering the top 24, there is no problem even entering the top 12. It's a pity that you have a narrow path, but you met it in the audition stage, maybe this is the will of God! Of course, your strength is obvious to all, even if one of them loses and fails to enter the top 24, it can still be famous in the provincial city! ”

Emperor Li is a little bit standing and talking without backache, but whoever comes here to participate in the competition, who doesn't want to get a good result? Say a thousand things and ten thousand, who can stand to the end, can laugh to the end, can enjoy the praise of everyone and the good name on the road, and the loser can only roll back to his own territory in disgrace. Especially for seeded players like me and Zhang Jian, who are favored and valued at the same time, if one of them is eliminated in the audition stage, I don't know how much ridicule and scolding will be received, and it will be difficult to raise my head again in the future.

However, Zhang Jian was not worried at all, he just felt that he had won, and said to Emperor Li conclusively: "Don't worry, I will win today's battle!" ”

Then, he lowered his head again, lowered his voice and said, "Thank you for helping me out of the siege before I was old, if it weren't for you, I would have died in the hands of the 'Iron Sword Hong Family'!" Don't worry, when I finish participating in the martial arts competition, I will definitely repay you! ”

Although Zhang Jian's voice was very low, because the surroundings were very quiet, his words reached almost everyone's ears. It wasn't until this time that everyone understood that the conflict between Zhang Jian and the Hong family before was finally reconciled by Emperor Li. Moreover, although Zhang Jian was thanking Emperor Li, he felt as if he was deliberately saying it to everyone, so that everyone would know that he was from Emperor Li's side, and there was immediately a whisper around him.

And Emperor Li didn't seem to mind that everyone knew about this, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I am the patriarch of the underground world of the provincial capital, and maintaining the harmony on the road is what I should do, just show all your strength tonight, no matter whether you win or lose in the end, it is the pride of the provincial city!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Jian stood up straight, his gaze unusually determined.

After Emperor Li and Zhang Jian finished speaking, he then looked at me again: "Wang Feng, how are you preparing?" ”

I nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”

Emperor Li laughed and said, "Okay, the competition can start, I will pay attention to the whole process in the audience!" ”

Although Emperor Li is also very good to me, he is a little less interesting than Zhang Jianlai, as if I am a godson, and Zhang Jian is his own son. This subtle deviation was also felt by the onlookers, coupled with the previous dialogue between Zhang Jian and Emperor Li, everyone naturally thought that Zhang Jian was the victor appointed by Emperor Li.

Even if there are people who support me, in front of Emperor Li, they don't dare to speak out; There were only a few mosquitoes, whispering oil for me.

Now Zhang Jian almost occupies the right time, place, and people, and the whole person is more confident and proud, and he is also surrounded by the pursuit and cheers for him; Compared to him, I was a little disgraced, almost no one cheered me on, as if I had been abandoned, and I waited for the fiasco to roll out of power.

This kind of differential treatment, even Feng Qianyue couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but say, "Uncle Emperor, are you too partial?" Anyway, I can help Wang Feng say a few words! ”

Emperor Li smiled and said, "How can there be eccentricity? Can I still tie their hands and feet and control the outcome of the game? ”

Having said that, Feng Qianyue was still very unconvinced, and immediately opened her throat and shouted: "Wang Feng, come on, we will always support you!" ”

Feng Qianyue's voice was crisp and pleasant, and she was very confident, no one was afraid of offending, and immediately overwhelmed many people at the scene, even Emperor Li could only shake his head and smile bitterly. I looked back at her gratefully, in this situation where no one was optimistic about me, her cheering was particularly valuable, which made my heart warm, and at the same time secretly swore that this competition must be won.

Zhang Jian and I stood face to face again, and the referee announced the start of the competition again.

Our battle attracted almost 80 percent of the attention of the audience, and even Emperor Li stood in the audience to watch, so you can imagine how eye-catching it was. With so many people paying attention, Zhang Jian's fighting spirit was even stronger, and he couldn't wait to win against me, so he immediately raised his knife and said to me: "What are you still stunned about, take out your weapon quickly!" ”

Instead of doing what he said, I asked, "What weapon do you want me to use?" ”

Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment, obviously didn't expect me to speak like this, and said inexplicably: "What weapon do you use, what does it have to do with me?" ”

I said seriously, "Since you're not my opponent, I can let you choose once, so that you can lose convincingly." ”

My arrogant words shocked the people at the scene, after all, Zhang Jian's last battle, many people saw it with their own eyes, and his ruthlessness and ferocity also left a deep impression on everyone. Everyone thought that the battle between the two of us would be a-for-tat and exciting battle, but I didn't expect that as soon as I opened my mouth, I decided that Zhang Jian would lose, and I didn't leave any room for myself. There was a murmur all around again, and many people suspected that I dared to boast that such a Haikou must have extraordinary strength.

Emperor Li in the audience still looked at us with a smile and muttered, "It's a little interesting, it's a little interesting." ”

In the face of my arrogance, Zhang Jian was of course furious and yelled at me: "Since you are so awesome, then fight me with your bare hands!" ”

I nodded, rolled up my sleeves unhurriedly, and said okay, come on!

My domineering and self-confidence instantly caused an exclamation, which was completely out of my eyes for Zhang Jian. Feng Qianyue was very excited, and kept shouting with her hands on the side of her mouth in the shape of a trumpet: "Wang Feng, you are so handsome!" ”

Seeing that the wind direction below was a bit reversed, Zhang Jian was so angry that he couldn't control himself, and after shouting wildly, he raised his knife and slashed at me.

In fact, the following discussion is correct, since I dare to boast of such a Haikou, of course I have the strength to match it. At my level, I can already tell from the other party's posture, words, movements, momentum and other details, how strong the other party is, this Zhang Jian is indeed very powerful, and he is already a leader among his peers, but there is still a gap compared to me, so I dare to fight him with my bare hands.

Soon, Zhang Jian had already rushed to my side and slashed at my chest, his momentum and powerful knife skills were indeed practiced, much stronger than my last opponent. I used my graceful footwork, lightly drifted sideways to avoid his knife, and then shook my head at him slightly: "No! ”

Zhang Jian was even more annoyed, and slashed at me again and again, as fast as a propeller on a helicopter, but it was still a fool's dream to hurt me. I kept dodging his steel knife, and every time I dodged, I had to say, "No! ”

And I was not in a hurry to attack, teasing Zhang Jian like a cat and mouse, going around the stage, and making his knife fall short.

Everyone around me can also see that I am playing Zhang Jian, because I am at ease, my breath is calm, and everyone is watching it. But even so, everyone still watched the duel between the two of us intently, for fear of missing any of the wonderful details, seeing that Zhang Jian, who was arrogant before, couldn't hurt me, many people's eyes shot out of excitement, if it weren't for the fact that Emperor Li was still on the scene, he would have shouted loudly.

Every time Zhang Jian splits, I have to say no, and there is a thick disdain in my actions and words. Zhang Jian became more and more angry, his face was flushed, and the green tendons on his face also flared up, and he yelled: "You coward, do you only hide, do you dare to attack?" ”

I sighed and said, "That's what you asked!" ”

With that, I dodged Zhang's slash to my shoulder again, and then punched him hard in the ribs. My punch is ordinary, there is nothing special, it was taught to me by Wang Datou by the lake, but because of the use of the power of the dragon vein, it became extraordinary, and directly blasted Zhang Jian with a knife, and his whole body hit the guardrail by the side of the boxing ring, and fell to the ground with a heavy fall.

Just kidding, I can't beat the Dragon King, I can't beat Zhao Tieshou, can't I beat a Zhang Jian?

Rumble!

Even if Emperor Li was present, even if everyone knew that Emperor Li was on Zhang Jian's side, but after seeing me blast Zhang Jian away with one punch, he couldn't help cheering, and the scene immediately applauded. Feng Qianyue shouted "oh oh oh", clapping and shouting: "Wang Feng, beautiful, handsome!" ”

Feng Qianyue really didn't hesitate to praise me, which made me a little embarrassed.

Emperor Li's face was gloomy.

I don't know if it's right for me to do this, but I know that I definitely can't lose, and if you want to blame it, it's Emperor Li who arranged me and Zhang Jian together so early. In the midst of thunderous applause, Zhang Jian, who was beaten and vomited blood by my punch, stood up again and pounced on me like an angry lion.

I admire his spirit, but he is really no match for me, and no matter how many knives he throws at me, he never hurts me; And I punched out punch after punch, at least seventeen or eighteen punches on Zhang Jianjian, Zhang Jian finally couldn't bear it, fell to the ground with a bang, and couldn't stand up again.

The referee lay beside him, counted down to ten, and finally announced: "The winner of this game is, Wang Feng!" ”

After the results were announced, Emperor Li sighed slightly, looked up and said hello to me, and then turned away with a disappointed face. Zhang Jian struggled to climb to the edge of the ring, stretched out a hand and said desperately: "Brother Emperor, give me another chance......"

But Emperor Li ignored him, didn't even look back, and hurriedly left the scene in a sedan chair.

After Emperor Li left, everyone at the scene had no scruples, and shouted loudly for me, and the cheers resounded throughout the underground hall. In the midst of cheers, I walked slowly to Zhang Jianjian, squatted down and said coldly in the tone of Qiao Feng in Tianlong Babu: "What kind of thing are you, and you are qualified to be on the same level as me?" ”

In fact, according to my usual style, I would not say such flamboyant words, but Zhang Jian repeatedly provoked me, and I am a clay man with a temper. He is a young man, and I am also a young man, who is not more imposing than the other?

He didn't respect me, and I certainly didn't respect him, so I took the opportunity to humiliate him as much as I could.

Zhang Jian glared at me viciously, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to devour me alive, but I didn't care at all, and got up and got out of the ring. Feng Qianyue, Wang Gongzi, as well as mosquitoes and old sauce, of course, surrounded me, cheering, cheering, and saying joy for me.

After the fight between me and Zhang Jian ended, the fights in the other rings were basically over, and the host announced on the stage the list of the top 24 players tonight, including me, of course. As for Zhang Jian, he was eliminated and was ruthlessly humiliated and ridiculed.

This means that the higher you hold it, the harder you fall.

Twenty-four of us stood on top of the largest ring in the middle of the hall, enjoying the cheers and cheers of the audience for a long time. Emperor Li also personally congratulated us, shook our hands one by one, and praised us as the future and hope of the provincial city.

When it was time for me, Emperor Li patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Wang Feng, you are very good, you did not disappoint me!" ”

Then, the host announced that tonight's competition ended here and will continue tomorrow night. In addition, in order to ensure the safety of our twenty-four people, we are required to stay at the royal nightclub tonight and not go out if we have nothing to do.

As for the others, they can leave this place and come back tomorrow night.

Although Feng Qianyue and Wang Gongzi didn't have to participate in the audition, they couldn't stay in the nightclub, so they could only say goodbye to me. Mosquito and Lao Jiang also left, leaving me alone.

At the end of the night, everyone reluctantly left the underground hall, while the twenty-four of us returned to our respective rooms to rest and prepare for tomorrow's battle under the arrangement of the staff.

It's not something to brag about to be in the round of 24, it's in my plan, so I don't feel that excited. Moreover, there are still many tough battles to be fought in the future, Zhang Jian is easy to deal with, it does not mean that others are easy to deal with, so it is still not to be taken lightly.

But it's nice to think that my uncle lives here and that it's not that far from me. After taking a bath, I lay on the bed to rest, thinking that since I entered the provincial capital, I started from scratch step by step to today, and finally got closer and closer to my uncle, and a sense of accomplishment and expectation arose.

Later, before I knew it, I fell asleep.

It was about two o'clock in the morning when I was woken up by a screeching ringing cell phone. I sat up and took out my phone to see that it was a mosquito calling, and I called so late, and I immediately had a bad premonition in my heart.

I picked up the phone, and there was an anxious voice of mosquitoes inside: "Brother Feng, Zhang Jian brought someone to call, saying that he wanted to wash our Golden Dragon Entertainment City with blood!" ”
