Chapter 20: The Contest Begins!
The next day, Gu Chen got up early to pack his things, he put his sword behind his back, dressed in white, he picked up the mirror and looked at it, looking at his plump and fair self in the mirror, he felt a little handsome, Gu Chen said narcissistically.
After everything was ready, Gu Chen came to the entrance of the village, which was the place where he gathered. He found out that the person leading the team today was Gu Wutou, Gu Chen was a little puzzled in his heart, according to the practice of previous years, it was always the village chief who led everyone to go, could it be because this year was the Sword Xuanzong's apprentice trial competition? Gu Chen had a faint guess in his heart.
After the people gathered, Gu Wutou said: "Today is the day of the competition, I will lead you forward, okay, let's go!"
The people who went this time were Gu Chen, Gu Dan, Gu Qing, Gu Chang and Gu Xingyu. Gu Xingyu actually lives in Qingshui Town, but his household registration is in Gujia Village, so he can only return to Gujia Village and represent Gujia Village to participate in this competition.
"Hey, Gu Xingyu, do you know who is more powerful in this competition?"
"Hmm~ As far as I know, the most powerful person in the surrounding villages is Zhao Wang of Zhaojia Village, whose strength has reached the late stage of the Warrior Triple Heaven and is a strong opponent, and Chen Fan of the Chen family in Qingshui Town is the early stage of the Warrior Quadruple Heaven, and is the first recognized place in this competition, as well as Sun Wen of the Sun family, it is said that he was in the late stage of the Warrior Triple Heaven as early as two years ago, and now the strength does not know how, maybe he has broken through to the Warrior Quadruple Heaven, so to speak, three places, these two people have occupied two of them. Gu Xingyu thought for a moment and said.
Gu Chang and Gu Qing both stretched their ears and listened to their conversation secretly, for the two of them, knowing the strength of others in advance also had a bottom in their hearts.
Gu Xingyu is the strength of the middle stage of the martial artist triple heaven, and he is at the middle level in the general participation in the competition, and the second egg has also successfully broken through to the middle stage of the martial artist triple heaven with the quenching grass given by Gu Chen, but if Gu Qing's strength is concerned, everyone does not know. Because he has a rich father, he has a kind of arrogant character. And Gu Chen and the others are not very good, so they don't like to be with him.
Soon, everyone arrived in Qingshui Town, and the guards at the town gate did not charge Gu Chen and others the entrance fee after hearing that they were participating in the competition, which was a special case in Qingshui Town, and those who participated in the competition did not need to pay the entrance fee.
"Wow! Gu Chang opened his little mouth wide and exclaimed.
Perhaps because of the competition, Qingshui Town seemed to be extraordinarily crowded today, and it was very crowded, Gu Chen and the others broke through the obstruction of the crowd and came to the venue of the competition, the competition ground in Qingshui Town.
There are a total of 36 people in this competition, including 8 people from the Chen family in Qingshui Town, 7 people from the Sun family, 5 people from Gujia Village, 6 people from Zhaojia Village, and 5 people from Lijia Village and Zhoujia Village.
The competition adopts a 1v1 elimination model, where the loser is eliminated directly, and the winner is promoted to the next round. Since it was not yet time for the game, Gu Chen and the others just took a number plate and left here, and casually found an open place nearby and began to rest.
"Brother Chen, I'm the 13th, what are your numbers?" Erdan picked up the number plate in his hand and waved it.
"I'm number nine. Gu Chen also took out his number plate and showed it to Erdan.
"It's a good thing we didn't run into each other, and if we did, I wouldn't have been able to beat you. Erdan patted his chest and said with a happy face.
"Hmph, if any of you touch me, I won't show mercy. Gu Qing held back everyone's glances, but stayed on Gu Chen for a while and snorted coldly.
Gu Chen felt inexplicable that he said such a thing, where did he offend this person? His speech was prickly, and he seemed to have great hostility towards him. Of course, Gu Chen would not spare people who didn't like him, and if Gu Qing became his opponent, then he would not show mercy to his subordinates, even if everyone was from a village.
"Okay! Everyone is from Gujia Village, so there should be no internal strife, we should unite and unite with the outside world. Gu Wutou stopped everyone's conversation, he now asked everyone to rest and show their best state to meet the afternoon competition.
At this time, the Sun family team passed by Gu Chen and the others, and Sun Wen, who was in the lead, looked at the people sitting cross-legged and mocked: "Where did this country man come from, why are they all listless, do you want to admit defeat before you compete?"
"Haha!" The young people of the Sun family were all amused by Sun Wen's words, and they all pointed at Gu Chen and the others.
"Erdan, have you heard a dog barking next to you, it's very ugly, which dog is so uneducated?" Gu Chen said to Erdan, who didn't seem to want to deal with Sun Wen.
Erdan understood and said: "When I heard Brother Chen, it was not only ugly, but also bad breath, eh, it smoked me." Erdan pinched his nose and looked disgusted.
"You!" Sun Wen pointed at Gu Chen angrily, and stepped forward to teach them a lesson. However, at this time, Sun Wu, the elder of the Sun family, pulled Sun Wen and stopped his behavior, and said leisurely: "Now is not the time to fight, wait until the afternoon competition." ”
Sun Wen snorted coldly after hearing this, brushed his sleeves away, with a warning in his eyes, as if to say: I hope that the people of Gujia Village will not meet me when they compete, otherwise you will look good.
The young people of the Sun family all looked at everyone, but Gu Chen turned a deaf ear to this, who was high and who was low, and he saw the real chapter in his hand, and it was useless to say more now.
"Brother Chen, these people are really arrogant, and we haven't had any conflicts with them, so they came over to mock us like this, do you have a problem with your brain?"
"Some people just think they are superior and think that others are weak, so they come to us to find a sense of superiority. Gu Chen said lightly. To be honest, the Sun family like Sun Wen was not worth mentioning in front of him on the first day, and he could be defeated with one finger. So for the mockery of the Sun family, Gu Chen thought that they were all jokes.
Gu Wutou closed his eyes without saying a word, from the Sun family to the present, he didn't say a word, just sat there quietly, as if none of this could arouse his interest.
Time passed quickly, everyone had lunch and took a short nap before coming to the competition field, which was already crowded, and many people watching the battle had already sat in their seats, and the seats were full.
After Gu Chen and the others found the position of the contestant exclusive to Gujia Village, they sat down, and the other five people also sat in their positions, quietly waiting for the competition to start. It seems that everyone is high-spirited and has a chance to win.
What Gu Chen didn't know was that a pair of eyes had already paid attention to him, starting from Gu Chen's entry into the city.
Soon, the mayor of the town came up and said something similar to the village chief, and then invited the host of this competition: Feng Mingcheng, an outer disciple of the Sword Xuanzong.
Feng Mingcheng is a young man of medium stature and ordinary appearance, dressed in green clothes, wearing a long knife at his waist, but he is majestic, I saw him standing in the center of the stage, and after glancing at the competition, he said: "I am Feng Mingcheng, a disciple of the outer sect of the Sword Xuanzong, and I am the host of this competition. Let's talk about the rules of the competition, after one party admits defeat, the other party can no longer hurt others, and it is not allowed to use hidden weapons and forbidden drugs during the competition, and it is eliminated under the ring, and no one can be put to death, so now, the competition begins!"
As soon as the words fell, the people watching the game in the audience cheered continuously, and the competition they had been waiting for for a long time was finally about to begin, and the contestants were all gearing up with their eyes fiery. They looked at the majestic Feng Mingcheng and were also very yearning in their hearts. Sword Xuanzong, the sect that everyone dreams of, even if it is an outer disciple, it is also an enviable existence.
Gu Chen looked at Feng Mingcheng on the stage, and as he spoke, Gu Chen felt bursts of sound waves penetrate deep into his mind, and the strength of the person in front of him was very strong, at least the strength of the Martial Artist Eight Heavens, or even the Martial Artist Nine Heavens.
"First of all, No. 1 vs. No. 36, please come to the stage. Feng Mingcheng said.
Soon, both of them were slightly nervous and got on the stage, they had never fought under the gaze of so many people, and their performance was likely to directly affect the image of this lineup, so they were all ready to fight.
No. 1 is Zhaozhou in Zhaojia Village, and No. 36 is Zhou Fang in Zhoujia Village. Both of them are the strength of the middle stage of the martial artist Triple Heaven.
With Feng Mingcheng's call to play, the competition began, and the two had a tacit understanding to rush together, punching and kicking, both sides used basic boxing techniques, and after fighting for a long time, no one could help anyone.
Gu Chen looked at the two people on the stage, very speechless... This level of competition really can't arouse his interest, for Gu Chen, who has killed the martial artist Wuchongtian, like this kind of child-like competition, if he was a week ago, he might still be full of interest.
The strength of the two is constantly consumed, and the strength is almost equal, if one side does not have unexpected martial arts, no one can really help anyone, if it just relies on basic boxing, both sides may not be able to fight until tomorrow.
"Angry Ape Fist!" "Bull Fist!"
Finally, the two deeply understood that if they kept their hands any longer, it was likely to end in exhaustion. You must know that there is no so-called draw in this competition, if both of them are exhausted, then according to Feng Mingcheng, they can only announce that both of them are eliminated. Those who do not have the strength to eliminate others can only be eliminated.
Zhaojiacun's signature martial art, Angry Ape Fist, is a yellow-level low-level martial art, and there seems to be an angry ape roaring on the fist under the condensation of strength, while Zhoujiacun's signature martial art Brute Bull Fist is the same, a brute bull seems to be possessed by it, and the formation is full of momentum.
The two fists collided, setting off a wave of air that swept away, and the smoke and dust were filled, and it was impossible to see the situation inside. Everyone was very curious about who won the competition, especially the people from Zhaojiacun and Zhoujiacun, who all held their hands tightly at this time, praying that their own people could win the competition.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and I saw that Zhao Zhou was still standing in the middle of the competition platform, while Zhou Fang fell on the edge of the competition platform, and it was clear who won and who lost.
Zhao Zhou's exhausting efforts to maintain himself from falling, in fact, the strength of the two is close, Zhao Zhou completely relied on perseverance to win Zhou Fang, he has only one belief in his heart, that is: win!
"Zhaojia Village Zhao Zhousheng!" Feng Mingcheng announced the results.
"Wow!" Hearing this, the people of Zhaojia Village cheered and celebrated this victory, this was the first competition, and it was also a very important competition, not only a victory, but also increased their morale.
"I won. Zhao Zhou muttered, hearing the result, he couldn't support it anymore and fell on the stage.
