Chapter 22: The Tournament Begins

"Are you making progress too fast? Our family has never been good at swords, do you have someone to instruct?"

"Young Master, it's time for me to help out in the kitchen. Xiaoqing interrupted him, he kept his promise to Gu Xiaoyuan, and couldn't reveal that he taught it, so he deliberately avoided Gu Luyong's questioning.

Before Gu Luyong finished speaking, Xiao Qing turned his head to leave. He felt that Xiaoqing was weird, but it was difficult to catch up and ask. During this time, the disciples of the Gu family were all eating at home, and Xiaoqing had to find time to help in the kitchen every day, and he couldn't refute this reason.

Speaking of cultivation, Gu Luyong was depressed during this time. Although he was young, he was able to cultivate two yang fires. But recently, as soon as he started cultivating every day, the yang fire was restless, and he couldn't stop to suppress it. As the yang fire became more and more intense, it became more and more difficult to suppress. He consulted Gu Peng about this, Gu Peng is now in the country, and he has a large amount of pure vitality from Gu Xiaoyuan in his body, and the vitality will help him regulate the yang fire, not suppress it. So during this time, Gu Peng no longer needs to deliberately suppress the yang fire, and he can live well. But when his son Gu Luyong asked him how he did it, he couldn't say why. After being sick once, it was a blessing in disguise, but I can't let my son get sick like this.

Speaking of Gu Peng's illness, he asked afterwards. The key important ones are Gu Juan's two books, "Forty-six Methods of Acupuncture and Moxibustion" and "Shennong Baicao". He asked how Gu Juan knew, and it was just right. Gu Juan could only lie, saying that her father and mother used to read these two books the most, and she had been in contact with them since she was a child. Her father and mother have been dead for years, and it doesn't matter what she says. Because of this, the third lady felt that she was a good seedling for healing, and once wanted her to pour the medicine shop to help, but Gu Juan lied again and said that she was also allergic that night, and shirked it.

Gu Peng also heard that Gu Xiaoyuan used a secret method to graft his bones, and several ladies were present at the time, and they all felt that Xiao Yuan was serious. However, when asked afterwards, Xiao Yuan didn't answer anything, and he didn't know anything. Gu Peng once suspected that behind Gu Xiaoyuan, there was a master pointing out. Why is it so coincidental that the key people who saved his life are all in the same room. Later, when he saw that Xiao Yuan had returned to his stupid appearance, he slept when he was full all day, so he didn't mention it again.

Gu Zhonghuai was still like that, although he tried his best to practice, but every time the first yang fire was almost there, it dispersed. Talent is so.

Gu Xiaoyuan didn't work so hard during this time. After entering the country, the cultivation will naturally speed up, which is indeed worry-free.

The first and second orders of the Yuan Qi will be easier to cultivate. But when you start rushing to the third order, the ascent will be slow, and you won't be in a hurry. The second-order of Yuan Qi corresponds to the limited fighting skills, lost footwork, and formation that can be cultivated. Therefore, Xiao Yuan devoted all his attention to sword intent cultivation. I also thought that with the famous sword Seven Star Long Yuan, I would improve myself very quickly, because Xiao Yuan had already mastered the eleven sword intents. As a result, in the past twenty days, except for the Dao of Regret, the other sword intents have not been successfully integrated.

After many failed attempts, he found that it was his own problem, not the sword's. First of all, he was not familiar with the Seven Star Dragon Yuan and did not understand it. When the sword intent is integrated with it, if there is a deviation or misunderstanding in telepathy, it will lead to the failure of integration. Secondly, he underestimated the sword intent and the Seven Star Dragon Yuan, the reason why the sword intent can become the essence of the sword is because it condenses the vitality and will of the sword, which is evoked by the emotions or thoughts of human beings. Life force, will, emotion, and mind, when these elements are intangible and tangible, are sword intent. The Seven Star Dragon Yuan is a sword that has lived for thousands of years, it has a sense of historical mission, recognizes the Lord, is proud, and not everyone can summon it. To make it surrender, it is necessary to make it feel that the other person is powerful. At present, Gu Xiaoyuan is still too weak. It's not that Xiao Yuan can't use other swords to integrate, but in that case, the grade of the sword intent will definitely be discounted. The sword intent is not easy to come by, and once it is integrated, it will be fixed there, and there will be no way back.

In the end, Xiao Yuan felt that he lacked opportunities. The capture of sword intent was originally realized under very specific circumstances. For example, the sword intent of the emotion of "Xi", it took Xiao Yuan ten years to comprehend it. He always thought that being happy to the extreme was joy. Later, when a cave in the Qi Sect collapsed, he went to the rescue, and a disciple escaped death, pushed through the pile of stones with blood-stained hands, and crawled out. The moment the disciple saw the sun, he smiled happily. It turns out that after the great sorrow and great sorrow, the ordinary and precious life that you have experienced is the real joy.

The capture of sword intent itself is difficult, relying on emotional intelligence, IQ and chance. The integration of sword intent and sword, compared to others, is more complex and difficult. A sword has lived for thousands of years, and it has life and emotions. Emotions are the same as people, they change when they are affected, and sometimes they ignore them. For example, the emotion of "Humble", some swords are born to be kings, and Seven Star Long Yuan has never experienced it, and when Xiao Yuan took it to integrate it with the humble sword intent, Seven Star refused.

It is a famous sword, and naturally he has a reason to be strong. No matter what, you shouldn't give it up. Xiao Yuan took it with him every day, took it out from time to time, stroked it, and talked to it. In terms of sword intent integration, there were many failures, so he didn't try again.

The pressure on Zhou Qin's side is not that the game is about to start, but that his father Zhou Yangyu is nagging all day long. Father's relentless pursuit of the Seven Star Dragon Yuan. After the seven-star dragon yuan was in his daughter's hands, he never looked at it again. Every time Zhou Yangyu asked, the answer to her question was the same, and she hid it. But when her daughter was not at home, Zhou Yangyu turned her bedroom inside and out, and did not find the famous sword. If it weren't for the game just around the corner, he would have to die and not die without seeing the sword. It was not appropriate to ask directly, and when Zhou Yangyu was eating or having a meeting every day, he asked about the situation of the Seven Star Longyuan side by side. Zhou Qin lied a lot, so naturally it was not good. Even so, she didn't regret giving the Seven Star Dragon Yuan to Gu Xiaoyuan, was it easy for her to have a friend she wanted to make? So Zhou Qin gradually became uncaring about Zhou Yang, he could hide if he could, and if he couldn't hide, he would be noisy and coquettish.

The Gu family's side found that Miss Zhou didn't turn back to retrieve the Seven Star Dragon Yuan, and they were happy for a while. For a while, after Gu Peng arrived at the cultivation ground, he touched the famous sword under the guise of visiting Xiao Yuan. He thought that by touching it like this, through the memory of the family heirloom calligraphy and painting, the sword intent would surface, and the idea was a bit naïve. After that addiction, the Gu Luyong brothers are no longer rare, after all, they never practice swordsmanship.

The triennial martial arts competition of the Blue and White Gang has finally begun. What will be the result? Will Xiao Yuan play?

The ring is set up on Wuhan Street, the most prosperous street in Yunan Town. This makes it easier for distant gangs or families to stay and eat. At the same time, it is conducive to attracting local residents to watch the battle, see the power of martial artists, and let more aspiring people join the gang and strengthen their power. Therefore, this martial arts competition has another layer of significance, that is, to recruit new disciples.

The Gu family is the closest to the competition venue among the eight competition teams. Gu Peng, who is at the helm, allowed everyone to go to watch the battle without delaying their work, after all, this is a major event in the prosperity and decline of the family, and one more supporter will be more encouragement.

Let's talk about the rules of the game. This tournament has changed a lot because of the addition of ring matches. The competition is divided into two parts: the main competition and the ring competition. The main tournament is traditionally an official tournament with a total of 24 players for each gang and clan limited to three players. Each round is determined by drawing lots to determine the opponent and go directly to the knockout round. The top three in the main competition determine the ownership of the blue and white gang of incense masters. The Gu family's contestants in the main competition are Gu Luyong, He Zhu and Gu Luhuai. Although Lu He, the eldest disciple of the Gu family, is above Gu Luhuai, he can't participate because he is overage.

The Ring Tournament is a new addition that means Ring Battle. Due to the limited number of places in the main competition, there are not many disciples who can be selected. The ring competition is a chance to give the unsuccessful disciples a chance to correct their names or perform. In order to increase the excitement of the competition, the final champion is not only entitled to a generous prize money, but also has the qualifications to challenge the champion of the main competition.

The age limit for the main and ring competitions is 28 years old, and the required members of the gang are registered gang members, or the children of each hall master, i.e. princelings. People like Zhou Qin and Gu Luyong have not been registered in the gang roster. This rule is mainly to take care of the four major families.

On the first day of the tournament, the ring match was not played, because the first round of the main tournament reached as many as 12 matches, and it needed to be played in another day.

"Brothers and friends from all walks of life, fellow villagers and elders, I am Fan Dacheng, the leader of the Blue and White Gang. Today is a triennial event for our Blue and White Gang, and the Blue and White Gang wants to borrow your place to hold a martial arts competition. I believe that all gangs and major families have been preparing for this competition for a long time, and the players are all outstanding talents. I hope that the players in this competition can play their best, show their strength, and show their style. I won't say more, let's enjoy the game together. Now I declare the tournament officially open. ”

Fan Dacheng, the leader of the Blue and White Gang, said a few words on the stage, and the game officially began. This gang leader is deeply hidden, for so many years, no one dares to challenge his position as the gang leader, in addition to convincing management ability, the strength is also leveraged. Over the years, everyone hasn't seen him make a move, and I don't know what level of cultivation he has reached.

In the first round of the competition, there were many people, so the eight hall masters were drawn as representatives. Soon, the matchup of the main match was released. The Gu family is lucky, and the opponents drawn know the roots, and their strength is not strong.

The referee in the ring rang the gong and shouted loudly: "Please go to the ring to warm up the players in the first game, please Dong Wu and Zhou Qin." ”

The first game was Dong Wu of the Flying Eagle Gang, against Zhou Qin of the Zhou family. After hearing the scream, the two went into the ring.
