The Holy Sect Trials Competition, which had been preparing for a year and a half, finally began with the enthusiastic participation of many heroes in the late Han Dynasty and under the strong soldiers of all the participating young pulse masters.

The venue of the game was set for the match outside the South Palace of the Luoyang Imperial Palace. This field is very large and has a rectangular structure. Due to the large number of teams at the beginning, the field was temporarily divided into many small squares. As the tournament progresses, many teams will be eliminated and the playing field will be narrowed to the center of the field. The cells divided into different teams will gradually expand. This is done to make it easier for the players to perform, and for the spectators to be able to watch the game more closely.

In the center of the arena is a small round platform, on which a set of gongs, drums and sticks are placed, which is used to preside over the game. But at the moment, the round platform was empty, and the host still maintained his mysterious identity.

On the east side of the field, some low houses were temporarily erected. All teams were housed in a separate break room with water and food, and were only called out during the game. This is for the sake of fairness, to avoid the team that played first from being observed by the team that played later, and deliberately engaged in tactical targeting.

To the west and south of the arena is a huge auditorium. In the back of the spectator seat, there are a lot of chairs, which are obviously for those who are qualified to sit in them and watch the game. The outer layer of the auditorium is the ordinary people. The audience with a little strength sent someone to occupy the position early, and the civilians were not so lucky, so they could only wander around the outer layer to watch.

This Holy Sect Selection Contest was huge, and it was the first major event in the Han Dynasty and the pulse master world for many years, so it attracted a large number of Han people inside and outside Luoyang City to watch, and thousands of people were empty. Not only that, many foreigners or people of different races in fancy clothes are not far behind, and they do everything possible to fight for the top position.

In ancient times, the north was respected, so the seats of the emperor and important ministers were arranged in an open space not far from the entrance of the South Palace, directly north of the field. Although it is also a temporary high platform, you can see the traces of meticulous craftsmanship by craftsmen, and it is not sloppy at all.

On a high platform, seven chairs are placed in the middle. The chair in the center and to its right hand is smaller, and the carvings and woods are extremely elaborate and luxurious. The chair on the left hand side is larger than these two chairs combined, and those who are familiar with the government know at a glance that the two chairs in the middle are for the emperor Liu Xie and the saint Cai Yan, and the largest chair is for the Taishi Dong Zhuo.

Originally, only six chairs were prepared on the high platform, but because of Lu Bu's return yesterday, Dong Zhuo asked him to add one, so the remaining four chairs were reserved for Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Wang Yun, and Lu Bu, the only one in the Han Dynasty who had the identity of a general.

In the middle of the day, the lights in the Holy Church were already bright. The participating teams came out of the Holy Church Hall in an orderly manner. Everyone was walking silently, in different moods.

Shi Xin raised his eyes, and there was no shortage of familiar figures in the long line. There are the Yuan family team represented by Yuan Xi, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou, the Jingzhou team represented by Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu, and the Sun Quan, Tai Shici, and Gan Ning teams who met a year ago.

His gaze continued to look around the team, and he easily found Zhao Yun, who was imposing. In front of Zhao Yun, there was a heroic and upright figure, this person walked on his own, did not communicate with anyone, and looked arrogant and unruly.

Behind Zhao Yun, a man in black was quietly followed. He was really quiet, and even walked lightly, as if he was deliberately keeping a low profile. But he walked steadily, and the distance of each step was like a ruler, and there was not the slightest difference. Although he lowered his head, it was difficult to hide his somewhat abrupt neck. According to Shi Xin's estimate, when he turned his head to look back, he could definitely see his back. There is only one person in the Three Kingdoms who has this kind of anomaly, and that is Sima Yi and Sima Zhongda who are "eagles and wolves".

"The old thief has arrived at last, and he is mysterious, and he must be kept an eye on when the time comes. ”

Shi Xin didn't have a good impression of this usurper of Wei, and while he was secretly careful, his head was full of that treacherous and cunning film and television image, and the title was even more unceremoniously. However, due to the distance, his "Sky Eye Pass" talent failed.

When all the participating teams have finished lining up outside the stadium, it is close to the hour. At this time, the west and south sides of the competition have been surrounded by water, and the enthusiastic audience is judging the players, and some of the acquaintances of the players are shouting loudly, which is very lively for a while.

Shi Xin looked at the chairs in the west auditorium, in addition to Ge Xuan, Ge Hong, Lei Gang, Dong Feng and other old acquaintances, he also found several familiar figures.

Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su were here. Several of them were old acquaintances, and Sun Ce and the others had lived in the Lingbao Sect for a while, and they all greeted each other happily.

Ma Yuanyi, the head of the Heavenly Master Sect branch, Zhou Cang, a former member of the Heavenly Master Sect, and Liu Chan, who was white and chubby, were also inside.

When Sun Ce saw Shi Xin looking over, he smiled, stood up, and said loudly: "Shi Xin, although you will definitely lose at the hands of our Jiangdong team, I also hope that you will work hard, and it is good to go back with a runner-up, haha!"

Sun Ce shook his hand vigorously while shouting, full of enthusiasm. If it weren't for his words, others would still think that he was cheering for the Lingbao team.

Shi Xin didn't dare to speak loudly, only pouted at him, and looked like he didn't take the Jiangdong team to heart, and a smile already appeared in the corner of his eyes.

Zhou Yu next to Sun Ce clasped his hands to his chest, looking complacent. He smiled and said, "Hey, hey, Bofu. It's not right for you to do that. You should give your team encouragement first, and then suppress Shi Xin fiercely. ”

"Gong Jin is right......" Sun Ce took a deep breath, "Jiangdong team~~ Come on!"

Zhou Yu and Lu Su were caught off guard, and their eardrums were painful because of Sun Ce's loud voice, and they hurriedly covered their ears. Zhou Yu scolded with a smile: "Okay, save some effort, otherwise your voice will be hoarse before the game starts." ”

"Hehe, Brother Sun, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're very passionate!" a crisp voice sounded, like a heavenly sound.

Sun Ce's shouting stopped abruptly, and he looked back at the visitor in embarrassment, "Zhang ...... Miss Zhang is also here, don't come unharmed. ”

The people who came stood in place with a smile. She is dressed in red, with a yellow silk scarf tied in her right hand, who is it not Zhang Meiniang?

I haven't seen her for more than a year, Zhang Meiniang has grown a lot taller, and she exudes the youthful atmosphere of a young girl in the flower season. Guan Hai followed behind her step by step, much taller and stronger. He looked cold, and only arched his hand to Sun Ce and the others, but did not speak.

Sun Ce warmly beckoned Zhang Meiniang to sit next to him, and the two talked about their experiences for more than a year. Zhang Meiniang looked at Sun Ce, who was becoming more and more heroic, and said with a smile, "Brother Sun, how many levels of cultivation have you reached now?"

Sun Ce puffed out his chest proudly, "I'm almost fifth-class, fourth-class eightfold, what about you?"

"You're so powerful," Zhang Meiniang was taken aback, "I remember that when you left Julu, you were only more than two rank cultivators, why did you rise so fast? ”

"Alas!" Sun Ce sighed, recalling his experience over the past year, the corners of his mouth twitched obviously, "Since I lost to the Lingbao team in the final of the Heavenly Master Sect Competition, I have been scolded by my father. Even Gongjin and Zijing were implicated by me, and we were locked up together for a year. Every day, when I open my eyes, I cultivate, and I don't even have time to be in a daze. ”

Zhang Meiniang turned her head to look at Zhou Yu and Lu Su, and sure enough, they all looked like "the past is unbearable".

Sun Ce smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Alas, I don't want to mention it again." He changed his words, "By the way, which team is Miss Zhang optimistic about?"

"As a person from the Heavenly Master Sect, of course I am optimistic about the Heavenly Master Sect team, so I still need to ask?" Zhang Meiniang said with a smile.

"Hey, hey!" Zhou Yu suddenly sneered twice.

Zhang Meiniang frowned, and did not immediately question Zhou Yu, who spoke coldly. She has never had a good impression of Zhou Yu, and even deliberately avoided taboos. She felt that there was always a feeling of being seen through by Zhou Yu's side, and this feeling made her very uncomfortable.

Or did Sun Ce ask, "Why is Gong Jin laughing?"

"After the pulse master level reaches the fourth rank, of course, the luck and will during the battle will also account for a certain proportion, but it is more about the profound external and internal skills, and the application of special moves. Shi Xin and Zhou Tai were from a poor family, and their teachers were the Lingbao Sect and the Lei Gang Sect, with all due respect, they would suffer a big loss when they faced the team of famous families. Zhou Yu calmly analyzed.

Although Zhang Meiniang and Shi Xin had friction, it was all a matter of childhood, and as Zhang Meiniang got older, the more she felt that those things before were childish and ridiculous. Shi Xin is still nominally a person from the Heavenly Master Sect, and he also participates in the "Heavenly Master Sect Team", and there is his own sister in the team, Zhang Meiniang is a proud person, how can he admit that his team is poor?

Zhang Meiniang's temper came up, and she didn't care about avoiding Zhou Yu. She also sneered: "Master Zhou, don't forget, we were all defeated at the hands of Shi Xin and Zhou Tai, and they didn't become disciples of the Han Sect later, and they have never changed their sect. Besides, how do you know that they haven't learned advanced internal and external skills in the past year? Just by virtue of Shi Xin's swordsmanship to defeat you, coupled with the Taiping Mind Technique taught by our Heavenly Master, I think he is stronger than before. ”

Seeing that Zhou Yu and Zhang Meiniang were arguing, Sun Ce, who was usually hot, became a peacemaker for the first time, "Okay, okay." There's nothing to fight about, the next thing is the game, so we'll just watch and watch. Hey, it seems to have begun. ”

Sun Ce deliberately made a surprised movement, and the quarrel between Zhou Yu and Zhang Meiniang really stopped, and looked in the direction of Sun Ce's finger.

I saw a weak scholar who was dressed casually, but with an arrogant face, walked out. He lazily paced from the periphery of the arena to the round platform in the center, shyly pouting, swearing and saying something as he went. A pair of eyes squinted at everyone, nostrils raised, and the arrogant attitude only subsided when looking at the dragon chair.

"Alright, alright, everyone be quiet!"

The man walked to the round platform and shouted. He struck the gong and drum vigorously, making a deafening sound. Although the gong was loud, there was a strange rhythm that was quite pleasant to listen to, and the eyes of everyone in the audience were all focused on him.
