Chapter 51: Advance to the Knockout Round

Shi Luosheng's opponent in the morning competition was a disciple of Qin Guoyun Luoshan Villa, that person was not very old, one year younger than Shi Luosheng, and the main purpose of this competition was also to increase knowledge. Shi Luosheng faced the battle with the kung fu of the Heavenly Sword Gate, and the Heavenly Sword Knife Technique was also a first-class sword technique, Shi Luosheng deliberately hid his strength, and it took more than 20 rounds to defeat the opponent.

Liu Zixuan, Jiang Huan Chu, Jiang Wan'er and Xiao Che in other games also defeated their opponents smoothly, and Jiang Huan Chu also used the Great Sumeru Palm of Hou Yingjiao. There are not many highlights in the remaining games, it is worth mentioning that Ye Qun, the participating disciple of the Hidden Star Sect, is said to be Shen Nanxing's personal disciple, he defeated his opponent with only one move, and he is the one with the highest call to win the championship in this competition.

In addition, Xie Daoxuan, the young owner of Qin Guoyun Falling Villa, and Ning Buyuan, the son of the deputy master of the Ghost Shadow Gate of Yan Kingdom, also defeated their opponents within three moves, and they are also the top three popular candidates.

The remaining Jiang Huanchu, Jiang Wan'er, Liu Zixuan and Xiao Che are also favored by everyone as the leaders of the younger generation of Qi and Song. Only Shi Luosheng did not show the mountains and water, and it took more than 20 moves to deal with an ordinary disciple of Yunluo Mountain Villa in the first round, so naturally no one paid attention to it.

After the game, Shi Luosheng went back to the room to practice the newly learned Yueyan silently, and if there was something he didn't understand, he would go to Hua Haoxuan for advice at night.

In this way, ten days passed in a row, and the group stage of the Young Hero Competition also ended, Ye Qun, Xie Daoxuan, Ning Buqu, Jiang Huan Chu, Jiang Wan'er, Liu Zixuan, and Xiao Che all advanced as the first in the group, and only Shi Luosheng lost to Ning Buqu in the same group and advanced as the second in the group.

looked at the opponent he faced in the next knockout round, he was lucky, facing a disciple of Tianqi Sect in the next round, he also qualified as the second in the group, and he was not a particularly strong player, if this round was successfully promoted, the opponent he met in the quarterfinals could be Jiang Wan'er. Liu Zixuan's opponents in the next round are also average, but in the quarterfinals, he was able to meet Xie Daoxuan of Yunluo Villa, Xiao Che's luck was worse, the opponent in the next round was Ning Buqu of the Ghost Shadow Gate, and in the quarterfinals, he met the popular Hidden Star Sect Ye Qun, Jiang Huanchu's luck was the best, the opponents in front were very weak, and it was not until the semifinals that he met Ye Qun or Xiao Che and Ning Bugui. Then their winning side will meet the winner between Shi Luosheng and Jiang Wan'er in the semi-finals.

Shi Luosheng practiced in his room when he didn't compete during the day, and Xiao Che, the third prince who hadn't looked for him all the way that day, suddenly knocked on the door.

"Mrs. Shi, I didn't have a good chat with you along the way, but today I brought two jars of good wine to you for a good drink." After Xiao Che entered the door, he poured two glasses of wine as he spoke.

The whole room was suddenly filled with a pure aroma of wine, and Shi Luosheng had no choice but to stop cultivating, pick up the wine glass and drink with Xiao Che.

After a few glasses of wine, Xiao Che got to the point: "I don't understand one thing and want to ask Taifu for advice, Taifu is not only the general's righteous son, but also the prince's teacher, the prince and the family have obviously different tendencies in the country's selection of talents, I don't know which view Taifu you prefer?" Xiao Che deliberately did not say that it was Xiao Daocheng and the family, but that he was the prince and the family.

As we all know, the difference between Xiao Daocheng and the family on the surface is in the selection of people, Xiao Daocheng wants to promote a group of children of the poor family to weaken the influence of the family in the court, and the family wants to firmly control the power of the election of officials in the court.

Shi Luosheng didn't answer directly when he heard Xiao Che's question, but asked, "I don't know which point of view the third prince thinks is better?" ”

Xiao Che saw Shi Luosheng asking himself, so he had to say: "The differences in employment are not a secret in the Great Song Dynasty, even the people in the fields often discuss this topic, and I asked Taifu because I was curious." ”

No matter how Xiao Che asks, Shi Luosheng will not answer this sensitive topic directly, he is both a Taifu and a general, and it is these two different identities that can keep him in neutrality temporarily, once he accidentally breaks this neutrality, it is never a good thing for himself. But now the third prince asked himself aggressively, Shi Luosheng had no choice but to answer: "Actually, Luosheng feels that this is not a black and white question, what is said on both sides makes sense, the cold family has the advantages of the cold family, the scholar family has the knowledge of the scholar family, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong, employing people is nothing more than putting the right people in the right place." ”

Hearing Shi Luosheng's ambiguous answer, although Xiao Che was not satisfied, it was not good to continue to ask, in order to ease the atmosphere, Xiao Che turned the topic to this Young Hero Competition: "Taifu, do you think who is more likely to win the championship in this competition?" ”

Shi Luosheng said: "Judging from the ranking of the knockout round, the three princes met Ning Bu Qu in the top 16, although Ning Bu Qu defeated Luo Sheng in the group stage, there should still be a gap with the three princes, and it should not be difficult for the three princes to win the game, but it will be hard to meet Ye Qun in the quarterfinals." Ye Qun is Shen Nanxing's personal disciple, not to be underestimated, if the third prince can pass this level, then it will naturally be easy to win the championship. ”

Xiao Che said with a smile: "I would like to meet him with this Ye Qun, as for Ning Buzhu, Taifu rest assured, I will definitely defeat him and vent my anger for Taifu." ”

Shi Luosheng smiled and didn't answer, the two chatted for a while, Xiao Che couldn't detect Shi Luosheng's tone, so he had to say goodbye and leave.

The first round of the knockout round was relatively smooth, there was no upset, Ye Qun, Ning Buyielding, Xie Daoxuan, Jiang Huanchu, Liu Zixuan, Jiang Wan'er all advanced smoothly, only Shi Luosheng won more difficult, and he was the one who took the most time among all the promoted players, until he played more than 100 moves with the other party before he was lucky to win.

After the game, Jiang Huan Chu and Liu Zixuan couldn't stand it and came to accuse Shi Luosheng of being too good at acting, and even Jiang Wan'er couldn't hide her smile when she saw Shi Luosheng. Jiang Huan Chu said: "Is it necessary for you to act so exaggeratedly, that kid still uses more than a hundred tricks, isn't this a waste of time?" ”

Shi Luosheng said with a smile: "I don't know if it's an exaggeration, anyway, I can't let people notice me now, especially on this Tianzhu Peak, the way to save my life in troubled times is to be incompetent." ”

Jiang Huan Chu knew that he meant something else, and sighed and said, "If you feel that it is difficult to deal with the relationship between the royal family and the family in the Song Kingdom, then come to Daqi, our door will always be open for you." ”

Jiang Wan'er also looked at Shi Luosheng with expectant eyes, Shi Luosheng shook his head and said: "Although it is difficult, it has to be faced, and escape is not the way." Huan Chu, the problems you have to face in the Qi country are no smaller than mine, we have no choice but to move forward. ”

Jiang Huan Chu felt empathy and didn't say anything anymore, Shi Luosheng suddenly said: "I still want to go to the Hidden Star Pavilion again, I must get the vast stars, Uncle Hua said that only by practicing the martial arts of the three sects of the sun, moon and stars can you comprehend the Tianluo Heart Sutra." ”

Jiang Huan Chu said: "The Tianqi Sect also wants to get the vast stars, and this time the Dharma King followed us up the mountain, one of the purposes is also to see if there is a chance to steal the vast stars." ”

Shi Luosheng was surprised: "The Tianqi Sect also wants it?" The vast stars are the kung fu of the Tianluo Sect, and they can't be allowed to spread to the Tianqi Sect. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Luosheng thought that Jiang Huan Chu was also caught in the middle in this matter, on the one hand, he was a disciple of Zu Qingzhi, and on the other hand, he had also followed Hou Ying to learn art since he was a child, and now it is not good for him to help anywhere.

Shi Luosheng said: "Huan Chu, you are also caught in the middle, don't worry about it, I will take care of it." ”

Jiang Huan Chu patted Shi Luosheng's shoulder and didn't speak, Liu Zixuan said: "Luosheng, since it's inconvenient for Huan Chu to go, then I'll accompany you." ”

Shi Luosheng said: "Don't worry, I'll ask Uncle Shi at night to see how much he knows about the Hidden Star Pavilion, even if we go and steal the vast stars now, we won't be able to leave." Such an important thing, if it is stolen, the Hidden Star Sect will definitely know about it as soon as possible, and we will participate in the competition next, if we don't participate in the competition, we will leave directly, wouldn't it be a self-recruitment, stay and continue the competition, there are so many days of competition, it is difficult not to be found out by the Hidden Star Sect during this period. ”

Liu Zixuan said: "That's what I said, then tell me when you decide to do it." ”

In the evening, Shi Luosheng proposed to Hua Haoxuan to go to the Hidden Star Pavilion to steal books, but Hua Haoxuan didn't know much about the Hidden Star Pavilion and couldn't give any advice. Shi Luosheng thought that he had to find an opportunity to sneak in and see the situation inside before making plans.
