Chapter 497: Make a Count

Cao Ang's arrival caused a commotion, and after the hustle and bustle, the lottery ceremony officially began.

There are a total of ten teams, which are exactly divided into five groups, and there will be no byes in the first round.

The first to be drawn out was Yuan Yao, and his opponent was Ma Chao.

"Alas, I definitely won't be able to beat him, and then it's up to you." Yuan Yao glanced at Ma Chao's direction.

"Childe, rest assured, this matter is on us, and we guarantee that Childe will enter the next round smoothly." Liu Xun patted his chest.

Ji Ling glanced at Liu Xun...... Lao Tzu didn't speak, you dragged a yarn?

Li Feng smiled and said nothing, anyway, this time they came over to play soy sauce, even if they passed the level of Ma Chao, they would lose when they met Liu Bei and Cao Ang later.

I think that at the beginning, Sun Ce was still working in the Yuan family! The Yuan family supported him to lay a big piece of land, and as a result, he broke away from the Yuan family and became independent. Yuan Shuqian shouldn't be called the emperor, otherwise now that Yuan Yao marries a Miss Sun, who would dare to fart?

However, against the Ma family in Xiliang City, they still have a glimmer of hope.

Yuan Yao will definitely lose to Ma Chao, but if Ji Ling defeats Pang De, Ma Dai, Liang Xing and others behind him will not be afraid.

Of course, if Ji Ling loses, then there is no need to say anything else.

After Ma Chao here heard his grouping, his face did not change.

The main purpose of his coming here was to brush up the presence of the Xiliang Ma family in the Central Plains, and to take the opportunity to understand the real strength of the current elite forces of the major forces in the Central Plains, and by the way, to have a relationship with Liu Bei and others, so as to jointly resist the pressure caused by Cao Cao.

With Liu Bei and Cao Ang here, the other forces basically don't have to fantasize about anything.

The second pair that was drawn out was Liu Bei, and his opponent was Liu Xun.

"The big-eared thief robbed me of Shudi, it's really hateful! My father and son can now only live in a small town. I don't expect to pass this time, as long as I can find a chance to beat the big-eared thief. Liu Xun secretly thought in his heart.

After Liu Bei heard that Liu Xun had won the draw, his face suddenly relaxed, and he talked and laughed with Guan Zhang Zhuge next to him. This time to recruit relatives, they are only worried about Cao Ang, and everyone else has nothing to fear.

The third pair was drawn out of Gongsun Xu, and the opponent Cao Ang.

"Well, it looks like we can only take a day trip, try not to get a clean sheet." Gongsun continued to think very openly.

The fourth pair was drawn first by Lu Bu, and soon his opponent was also drawn.

Yuan Shao's son Yuan Shang.

Lu Bu laughed wildly a few times, Fang Tian's halberd slammed on the ground, and then reached out and trampled an insect to death on the ground.

The meaning was obvious, Lu Bu obviously didn't put Yuan Shang in his eyes, and he could be trampled to death with one foot.

The rest of Liu Cong and Lu Chao formed a pair.

Lu Chao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he didn't need to show all his strength in the first round, he should be able to do it.

Liu Cong over there couldn't help but be overjoyed after he won Lu Chao, the other eight forces present were not easy to mess with, but he didn't expect him to pick up a big bargain and draw one to rub the heat, it looks like he can at least enter the second round.

When I go back, I can also blow it well at my father Liu Biao.

The final battle map of the ten forces was announced.

In the first game, Yuan Yao played against Ma Chao, in the second game Liu Bei played against Liu Xun, in the third game Gongsun Xu played against Cao Ang, in the fourth game Lu Bu played against Yuan Shang, and in the fifth game Liu Cong played against Lu Chao.

"I didn't expect us to travel back to ancient times, and it was so interesting to be able to witness the demeanor of these gods and generals of the Three Kingdoms, but it's a pity that we couldn't participate in person." Xu Shu's expression was very embarrassed.

"We can cheer for Lu Chao! He represents us. The catkins spoke.

"Lu Chaodou, these fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms? And he's alone, not even a subordinate. Yu Gang shook his head.

While everyone was talking, Lu Chao walked over to them.

"The organizing committee of the competition asked me to submit a list of three subordinates, and I have only found two so far, which of you is going to make up the number?" Lu Chao asked everyone.

"Go to the stationmaster, the stationmaster looks quite powerful." Liu Wu recommended Chen Wei.

"I'm not going to fight." Chen Wei shook his head.

"You don't have to play, you just have to make up the numbers." Lu Chao said to Chen Wei.

"Alright then, if I have to play, I'll throw in the towel." Chen Wei agreed.

"No problem." Lu Chao's three subordinates, Yiyi disguised herself as a man to fight, and then Gou Yulong, Chen Wei only signed up to make up the number of people and did not play.

……

The next day, the competition officially began.

In the first game, Yuan Yao played against Ma Chao.

Yuan Yao is a county-level cultivator, and Ma Chao is a peak cultivator in the Soul Refining Realm.

After playing, Yuan Yao voted directly.

Ma Chao got 40 points.

What follows is a duel between subordinates.

It mainly depends on who wins or loses between Pang De and Ji Ling, these two are both peak cultivators of the Pulp Cleansing Realm, but they have not officially faced each other before.

The Divine Weapon Manufacturing Industry in the Ancient Martial Continent is relatively developed, and these generals basically have their own divine weapons.

Pang De made a truncated broadsword, and Ji Ling made a three-pointed and two-edged knife, both of which were seven-turn divine soldiers.

The two fierce generals met in the ban, each made meritorious deeds for their masters, and at the same time showed their martial arts cultivation to everyone, so that they could increase their popularity in this troubled world, and after they went back, they could also find their bosses to ask for a promotion and a salary increase.

The two of them fought back and forth for more than half an hour.

When the internal force was almost consumed, Pang De became more and more courageous, not caring whether he would be injured at all, but Ji Ling was a little timid...... It's just a competition to recruit relatives, and it's like a life-and-death battle, is it worth it? What if you get injured and don't spend money to recuperate?

One side is very desperate, but the other side is hesitant and does not want to fight, and the final result can be imagined.

Because Yuan Yao had already lost to Ma Chao, and after Ji Ling lost to Pang De, Ma Chao got 60 points and was determined to advance, and the winner of this competition has been decided.

However, Ma Dai and Liang Xing still learned from Liu Xun and Li Feng, and the rare opportunity to practice and brush their faces, of course, should not be missed.

In the second game, Liu Bei played against Liu Xun.

There is no suspense in this competition, Liu Bei in the middle of the seven-turn marrow washing realm crushed Liu Xun in the early stage of the seven-turn marrow washing realm in terms of strength, and Liu Xun's goal of beating Liu Bei a few punches during the competition was not achieved.

The two fought for more than ten minutes, and Liu Xun could only take the initiative to admit defeat after his internal strength was exhausted, so as not to be injured by Liu Bei, and he would be even more angry when the time came.

Liu Xun's three subordinates faced Guan Zhang Zhuge who was at the peak of the Soul Refining Realm, and the three demons couldn't raise any courage at all, and directly admitted defeat after entering the game.

Ma Chao and Liu Bei won successively.

In the third game, Gongsun Xu's competition against Cao Ang was the same as Liu Xun's competition against Liu Bei, and there was no suspense.

Soon the winner was decided in the third game, and Cao Ang, Ma Chao and Liu Bei entered the next round of competition.
