In the palace of the city lord of the lonely city of the Great Wilderness, the city lord Lin Minghao sat behind a long table inlaid with gold wire reliefs, looking at a bowl of red liquid.

He touched the rim of the bowl with his fingers, shook the liquid slightly inside, and asked, "This is the wine of Ruthless Wine?"

There was an executor standing across the long table, it was Lin Zou, who had just returned yesterday.

Lin Zou not only went to the Qianyun Sect to check according to the city lord's order, but also deliberately squeezed out time to go to the Desperate Suixin Village.

He arched his hand and reported to Lin Minghao: "Mingkong Aoqing and Ge Ruthless's gambling contract was made in Ruthless Zhuang, when Ge ruthlessly invited Qianyun Sect to participate in the congratulatory banquet.

This is the wine at the feast, bought from a disciple who has kept it privately. ”

Lin Minghao didn't drink the wine, but pushed the bowl to the side and asked: "I have heard of wine, it is made from an extremely rare fruit, Ge Wuru is not a generous person, and the banquet is definitely not that simple."

Lin Zou, did you find out what happened at the banquet?"

"No, the entire disciples of the Ruthless Xinzhuang are silent about the content of the banquet, and I can't arrest and torture people. ”

Lin Minghao nodded: "Well, what is the situation on the Qianyun Sect's side." ”

"Back to the city lord, I took the portrait and asked in the way of visiting relatives, no one knew Zheng Qiu, but ......"

"What's the problem?"

"City Lord, but I can't get in touch with the disciples of higher rank, and the Qianyun Sect seems to have strengthened the management of disciples. ”

"It is estimated that Mingkong Aoqing is catching the rats in the sect. Lin Minghao knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, the surnamed Wang took Zheng Qiu to see Ming Zong, which shows that Zheng Qiu's cultivation has progressed.

You go and arrange a match for the Liesha Gladiatorial Troupe, and I'll see what Ming Zong has taught. ”

"Yes!"

In the teaching field of the Liesha Gladiatorial Troupe, Zheng Qiu practiced the fingering in "Cangcui Jue" day after day, and he had already practiced the part of folding his fingers, and the speed of his performance was getting faster and faster.

But other parts of it ran into problems.

In the other part, there are a total of 33 fingerings, starting from the first fingering, the more energy is released with the subsequent fingerings, and the consumption also increases exponentially.

Zheng Qiu could only perform the tenth fingering technique now, and after that, his fingers would not be able to withstand the impact of qi, and his skin would break and bleed.

He had expected that the energy released from his fingers would create pits in the stone in the same way that the other gladiators had released.

However, the result was a great disappointment for him, no matter what kind of fingering he used, the white energy spewed from his fingertips would shatter and scatter in an instant after touching the stone surface.

He also tried to change the lantern paper, but he couldn't even punch a hole, so he might as well poke it with his finger.

Regarding this situation, he asked Master Wang many times, hoping to find a solution.

However, Master Wang told him that the herbaceous exercises were like this, and the qi itself had no offensive power at all.

This answer made Zheng Qiu more and more confused, since the strength has no attack power, then why can the broken finger break the stone, it is inconsistent.

One day at noon, Zheng Qiu stayed in the stone house where he lived, leaning against the window to watch the gladiators enter the cafeteria.

He had not eaten for three days, but he did not feel the slightest hunger in his stomach, but on the contrary, his stomach was full, as if he had eaten something indigestible.

The Seven Senses still emitted white qi from time to time, and now he also figured out that this was the result of too much qi in his body.

Some time ago, he meditated and introspected himself, and entered the meridians to check, the originally empty meridians had already been filled with shining white clouds, and the location of the original sea of qi was an endless sea of clouds.

After wandering around the sea of clouds for a long time, he finally found the pale green cloud.

The pale green clouds are the same as before, with no changes. It's just that the white clouds around it are constantly surging and renewing, merging into the sea of clouds one after another.

Ahem, coughing out a cloud of white gas, Zheng Qiu saw the eared cat and Ma Peng hurriedly running out of the cafeteria and rushing towards the stone house.

The eared cat ran fast, stepped into the house first, and shouted loudly: "Zheng Qiu, big thing, big thing!"

Later, Ma Peng also entered the house and nodded with a serious expression: "It's really a big deal." ”

Zheng Qiu looked at Ma Peng, who was close to an adult, and then looked at the eared cat that was obviously stronger than himself, and asked, "What's the big deal, you two are so nervous." ”

The eared cat opened his mouth and added: "Not only nervous, but also scared, excited, anxious......"

Ma Peng interrupted him and explained, "The head of the Meng sect has received news from the gladiatorial troupe that there is a bounty gladiatorial competition in the Lone Proud Gladiatorial Arena, and the Liesha Troupe has already signed up to participate. Our opponent is the Tempest Wolf Gladiatorial Band. ”

Zheng Qiu blinked, not understanding why the eared cat and Ma Peng were so excited: "Oh, that's it." You two aren't betting money, are you? ”

"Where did we get the money!" Seeing that Zheng Qiu didn't understand, the eared cat hurriedly popularized his knowledge, "The three of us are also going to participate in the bounty gladiatorial competition!"

"Why are we going to participate? Aren't there so many gladiators in the regiment who are higher than us, where do we need to play? ”

Ma Peng sighed and sat down on the stone bench to explain to Zheng Qiu carefully.

Bounty gladiatorial tournaments, as the name suggests, reward money for winning the tournament, but participation in this kind of tournament is subject to special tournament rules, which are set by the person who pays the bounty.

In this bounty gladiatorial competition, the participating gladiators were required to go head-to-head, and the result of being disabled, unconscious, and incapacitated was determined.

The competition is in the form of team points, the two gladiatorial groups are each selected, the side that wins heads-up gets a point, and which side has fewer points in the end, which gladiatorial group is eliminated.

In addition to these common rules, the person who paid the bounty also had a special rule that one-on-one dues must be of the same age, and if one side did not have a gladiator of similar age, the other side would win.

The eared cat crossed his fingers next to him and calculated: "Zheng Qiu, you and Ma Peng are both in their early tens, and I am only ten years old after the New Year, anyway, they are both in the range of ten years old."

The head of the Meng sect said that there were five gladiators of this age, and there were five in the Storm Wolf Gladiatorial Regiment. ”

Ma Peng nodded: "Yes, that is to say, no matter how we come out, the three of us will play." ”

"Although I don't have to fight for life and death in this game, I will also be disabled, I don't want to lose arms and legs. The eared cat stuck out his tongue and asked his companion, "I should have reached the Imperial Qi Realm now, what about you?"

Ma Peng spread out his broad palms and replied, "I studied the beast refining body, and there is no such realm distinction, but according to my estimate, it should be okay to fight an opponent in the Imperial Qi Realm." ”

After listening to the narration of the two, Zheng Qiu couldn't help but feel nervous, not long after joining the gladiatorial group, he was about to go on the field to fight with people, and he didn't seem to have any tricks to use to beat people except folding his fingers.

He scratched his head and said, "I, I don't know, maybe I've reached the Imperial Qi Realm." I'll ask Master Wang, and he'll know for sure. ”
