If you think about it, 2017 was indeed a long and extraordinary year, a lot happened in this year, and I got to know a lot of people. I have tasted joy, anger, sorrow, sourness and bitterness.

"Before I knew it, a year had passed." After being stunned for a moment in the memory, I couldn't help but sigh.

Time is such a magical thing. While you feel like you are living like a year, you can recall the past, but the scenes of the past seem to be in your mind, so that you remember it vividly.

At this moment, I have this feeling, obviously the voices and smiles of my junior high school classmates are vivid, as if it was just yesterday, but there is a feeling that I haven't seen it in several years.

Sometimes it feels like I've had a long dream. When I woke up, I was still sitting in that familiar classroom, surrounded by classmates who had been with me day and night.

Unfortunately, this is not a dream after all, and the peaceful days no longer exist. As one of the lucky ones who survived, I still have to face the cruelty of reality and move forward.

"Ye Yan, what are you thinking, why did you run into the yard alone." Jiang Chen walked up to me at some point, and said with a strange expression.

"Huh?" Hearing the sudden voice around me, I came back to my senses from my memories, and when I saw that it was Jiang Chen, I couldn't help but laugh and said: "Isn't this tomorrow the martial arts competition, I'm a little excited, I can't sleep." ”

"Haha, I'm also excited, and I'm also looking forward to what ranking I can get in the competition." Jiang Chen laughed, paused, and persuaded again: "However, it's not too early, we have to maintain a good mental state tomorrow, so let's go to bed early." ”

"Well, I understand." I nodded, grabbed my stool and headed inside. Maybe it's because of the banquet just now and tomorrow's martial arts competition, everyone is more excited, and they haven't slept yet.

Zhang Xinyu, who had drunk too much, was talking in the mirror, Lin Wei and Ye Yuyou were discussing with He Li about tomorrow's martial arts competition, and Xie Zhen had already collapsed on the sofa and began to snort thunderously, and he slept the fastest.

Looking at this lively daily life, I smiled, although we have experienced countless hardships, and there is still an unknown in front of us, but at least...

At this moment, it is very warm and happy.

It's not that bad, is it? The dark days, we have spent hand in hand, the new year, we are greeted by a bright future.

Thinking of this, I smiled and said to everyone, "Let's go to bed early!" “

In order to protect this hard-won warmth, I want to become stronger, strong enough to protect the tranquility of the moment, for this reason, I must achieve a good result in this martial arts competition!

It symbolizes the night of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and under my full anticipation of fighting spirit, it passed away in a hurry.

When the morning light of the new year tore apart the winter night of the old year, the Spirit Bureau suddenly burst out with amazing vitality, and a strong aura escaped from all corners of the Spirit Bureau.

While the spiritual adjustment bureau was gradually boiling, I also opened my eyes after resting all night.

Feeling the domineering aura scattered everywhere, a look of anticipation appeared on my face, this was the first time I had such a formal competition.

"I'm really looking forward to it..."A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, although the opponents were all the most outstanding people in Yang Province, but I also had enough confidence in my own strength, and a scorching battle spirit also surged up from my chest!

"This is among the top ten, I'm going to make a decision on Ye Yan!"

......

The competition is the highest standard, the highest honor and the highest reputation in the entire Yang Province, and this event that countless members of the Spirit Bureau are looking forward to officially starts today!

This event attracted almost all the influential figures in Yang Province, in addition to the members of the Spirit Adjustment Bureau, this event also attracted a large number of bigwigs in the political, military, and cultivation circles, it is conceivable how great the influence of the martial arts competition is.

For the participating members, the competition is also an excellent opportunity to show their strength, and there are many people who are usually unknown in the previous competitions, taking this opportunity to show their strength and become a dark horse, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Even if you don't have the strength to compete for the top ranking, you can show your face once in front of tens of thousands of viewers and increase your popularity.

If it performs well, or is lucky, and is favored by a certain bigwig, it is even more a carp jumping over the dragon gate and soaring up to 90,000 miles.

In fact, over the years, there have been many cases of grassroots people with ordinary backgrounds seizing the opportunity to successfully counterattack.

Even those members who are not eligible to participate in the competition are mostly full of anticipation for this tournament. After all, with such a high-profile competition, even if it is simply to enjoy a visual feast, it is a sure-fire business.

Because of this, the martial arts arena is extremely popular at this time, and the huge martial arts arena can be said to be crowded with people and extremely lively.

"In the end, it's the biggest event of the Spiritual Investigation Bureau, it's really lively."

I couldn't help but sigh, before I even entered, I already felt how lively the martial arts arena was.

"It's good that we're contestants, otherwise we'd have had to work hard to squeeze in." Jiang Chen said to us, "Let's go directly to the lounge." ”

"That's it."

There is a runner's tunnel in the lounge, and we, the contestants, can walk through the runner's tunnel and go directly to the spectator seats.

We bypassed the crowds and walked into the lounge, which has to be said to be very soundproof, and the noise outside was almost inaudible.

Sun Zimo was busy in the lounge, and when he saw us coming, he smiled and said, "Come on, sign in first, and then go with me." I've got a good spot for you guys, and the view is amazing! ”

After several of our contestants signed in the register, they followed Sun Zimo to a contestant channel. As soon as we walked out, we appeared at the top of the auditorium, and from here, we had a panoramic view of the entire arena.

Standing here, I really felt the heat of the martial arts competition, what caught my eye was the black crowd, the previously empty auditorium, at this time the opportunity was already full, if it wasn't for the martial arts stadium built big enough, the audience was afraid that they could squeeze directly into the ring!

"Well, it's a good location." Sun Zimo said with a smile.

"Pretty good." I replied with a smile, looking down from here, I could say that I could see it at a glance.

"You guys just stay here, I'll be back in a minute, I'll go down and get busy first." Today is really busy, the Spiritual Bureau is a little short of manpower, and even I, a two-star powerhouse, have been called to do coolies..."Sun Zimo's voice gradually faded away, and there seemed to be some resentment in his voice.

Withdrawing my gaze from Sun Zimo's distant back, I looked down at the lively scene, and the fiery color in my eyes became even stronger. This conference can almost be said to be a competition between the most outstanding cultivators below the second star level in Yang Province, and I really want to know what level I belong to in this group of people.

"I think it's tens of thousands of people, tsk, showing your face in front of tens of thousands of people, it's exciting to think about." Xie Zhen said excitedly, he is also participating in the martial arts competition for the first time, so the mood at this time must be the same as me, full of fighting spirit and fighting spirit.

"Hopefully we don't meet in the ring at the beginning." Jiang Chen looked at a few of us and said with a wry smile.

"I guess it's not so unlucky." I smiled and said, "However, if it's really that unlucky, I hope everyone doesn't leave it alone." ”

"That's nature." Everyone is serious and authentic, and everyone understands that going all out is the greatest respect for opponents, especially between friends.

Ye Yuyou blinked, and said in a dangerous tone: "If you meet, then I will settle the account that you always bullied me when I was a child!" Just the light counts! ”

"Hey, hey, I don't seem to have done anything to bully you except steal your snacks, snatch your toys, and pinch your face..."

"Looking for a fight!"

"Hahaha."

After a while, it ended with me admitting it, no way, now my sister is too strong, she has to be cowardly, take a step back and open the sky, otherwise this girl should bite me again.

"Good men don't fight women." I was humble in my heart.

"Hehe, Ye Yan, the relationship between your brother and sister is still as good as ever, it's really enviable."

At this time, a hearty voice sounded from behind us, and when we heard the words, we immediately cast our gazes, only to see Sun Wei walking over with a smile on his face.

Behind him, followed by Sun Chengqian and a group of children of the Sun family, there were more than a dozen people, in the end, it was a big family, and the contestants alone could break double digits.

"The mental state is good, how is it, are you sure to get the top three this time?" After seeing Sun Wei, I couldn't help but ask with a smile

"The first three, no matter how easy it is to say, are not fuel-efficient lamps." Sun Wei smiled bitterly and said, "I'll do my best, I just hope we don't meet in the arena, it will be too uncomfortable." ”

"yes." I nodded approvingly.

After talking to everyone in the Sun family for a while, my eyes swept over the audience, and when I swept to the high platform opposite, my eyes paused slightly. I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if it's specially arranged, the people of the Zhou family and the Zhao family happen to be opposite us.

As if sensing my gaze, Zhou Da also raised his head and glanced at me, after seeing me, he sneered, and then he made a gesture to wipe his neck, the meaning is self-evident.

Seeing this, I smiled faintly, raised my index finger and shook it at him, and said "You can't do it" in his mouth, I guess he understood what I meant, because his face was directly ugly.

After retracting my gaze from the opposite side, I looked at the leadership seat again, at this time, there were already many people sitting in the leadership seat, except for a few familiar high-level leaders of the Spirit Adjustment Bureau, the rest were some people I didn't know, I guess they should be all bigwigs from all walks of life in Yang Province.

"The crowd is almost here, and it is estimated that the conference is about to begin." I thought to myself, at this time, the arena was already overcrowded, and the time was about to reach ten o'clock.

Sure enough, as I expected, soon, with a majestic voice sounding, the originally noisy martial arts arena instantly fell silent.

"Please remain silent."

"I announce that this competition has officially begun!"
