Chapter 19 Qualifiers

The fighting trend set off by the fighting tournament not only made countless martial arts halls in the private sector spring up like mushrooms, but also attracted the interest of many large enterprises and consortia around the world, so they jointly sponsored the tournament to be held.

Therefore, compared to previous years, this year's fighting tournament is larger in scale and more participants, and under the overwhelming publicity, martial artists who want to be famous, for huge prize money, or looking forward to fighting the strong have gathered one after another.

Before the start of the official competition, the purpose of the qualifiers is to screen out those who are really qualified to participate.

Except for those who entered the finals of previous competitions and some celebrities who did not participate in the competition for various reasons in advance, the rest of the people, regardless of their strength, have to pass all the way from the qualifiers to be eligible to stand on the world's attention stage.

As a big country famous for martial arts, the qualifiers in the Huaxia Division also attracted a lot of attention, and the week-long selection competition was crowded with people on the first day of the large gymnasium where the venue was held.

In the name of participating in the qualifiers, Kexia, who had fallen into the state of a deep boudoir girl who had been shopping since that day, was finally dragged out by Zhang Lin.

Among the group, Fengyan, who made the request to participate and actively completed the registration, seemed to be the most excited, and had been in a state of excitement since the night before, knowing that this was only the qualifier.

As for why Feng Yan is so concerned about this matter, in addition to her own love for martial arts, another point is that she wants to take this opportunity to complete her breakthrough by challenging the strong and become Emperor Nian.

Although it is said that the qualifiers have to face contestants from all over the world, there is a lot of pressure on physical strength and spirit, and there is no guarantee that they will overturn in the process, but about this, Zhang Lin is not worried about his girls at all.

In the previous competitions, Athena, who formed a superpower team with her master Zhen Yuanzhai and her senior brother Shibiquan Chong, took Zhang Lin and her party directly from the staff passage into the gymnasium.

Due to Master Zhen Yuanzhai's status in the Huaxia martial arts world, his team naturally became the caretaker of the selection point here.

Under the leadership of Athena, everyone soon met the old man who was proficient in various martial arts, especially drunken boxing, in the lounge in the gymnasium.

Judging from the image alone, this martial arts master not only does not have much of a strong demeanor, but even looks a little sloppy. The wine gourd that never left his body was pinned to his waist, and under the white hair that almost completely covered his eyes, a red rosacea was exposed, and when he smiled, his mouth with a few teeth missing was exuding the smell of wine.

Another young boy who followed the old man, with a middle head and a blue jacket, was obviously the guy who loved to eat steamed buns, Shishiken Chong, who had always had a good impression of Athena, saw the arrival of his junior sister, and hurriedly ran up, as if he wanted to give a warm hug.

"Hello senior brother~"

However, Athena just said hello and skipped the other party, trotted to the drunken Zhen Yuanzhai, patted the other party's back and said, "Master, I miss you so much!" ”

"Ahem," Master Zhen Yuanzhai, who had just poured a sip of wine into his mouth, was directly choked by his lovely female apprentice, and it took a while before he pretended to be angry, picked up his hair on one side, blew his beard and said, "Why did you come here and didn't come to see me for so many days?" ”

"Anyway, I know that Master will definitely come over, so I don't have to run back and forth." Athena stuck out her tongue.

Shen Lan, who followed, stepped forward and bowed her hand to Zhen Yuanzhai and said, "Master, long time no see." ”

"Oh, I'll just say why this girl didn't come to the master when she arrived in Huaxia, it turned out that she went to Miss Shen again," the old man laughed, "It's really bothering you, my apprentice didn't let you worry about it, right?" ”

"Don't bother, Cortana, this girl is still very obedient." Shen Lan looked at Athena squeezing her eyebrows at her, and said with a smile.

The conversation between the two sounds like a conversation between the two people.

"Did you hear that, Master, I'm not as unbearable as you say." With Shen Lan's words to support her waist, Athena became a little proud.

"Miss Shen is preparing to participate this time? I remember that Cortana invited you twice before, but she was turned down, did you change your mind this year? ”

Shen Lan shook her head, "No, I still didn't plan to participate this time, the two younger sisters and my housemother are going to participate." ”

"Oh, it sounds like Miss Shen is really from a certain family, I don't know if it's your master?" Zhen Yuanzhai looked at Zhang Lin and his party curiously, in his opinion, Shen Lan is young, but her martial arts have reached the peak, so she doesn't know what kind of existence is behind her.

"I've seen the old man, under Zhang Lin." Zhang Lin stepped forward and saluted the old man.

Suddenly, a stream of essence shot out from the old man's eyes, as if he wanted to see Zhang Lin through with penetrating power.

At first, Zhang Lin still had a feeling of being on his back, but in just one breath, this feeling subsided, allowing him to look at each other calmly.

"You young man, I can't see through it." Zhen Yuanzhai shook his head and said, took off the wine gourd on his waist and poured it into his mouth, sighing, "Although I don't want to serve the old, but the young people are really getting worse and worse now." ”

"Master, don't you often say that you are still on active duty, why are you talking about this now? Could it be that Master, you are too old to lift your waist? Athena interjected.

"You little girl, Master sighed, you actually arranged Master, don't look at your Master, I'm old now, I can fight for another ten years, no, fight for another twenty years!" Zhen Yuanzhai glared at her angrily, then took out a cigarette gun and struck her on the head.

"Yes, yes, Master, you are the best." Athena, holding her head, said flatteringly.

Subsequently, the three girls who were preparing to participate in the competition also stepped forward to greet the old-timer, but Alice wanted to learn from Shen Lan to hold her fists, but not only did she move backwards, but also a little nondescript, which caused everyone present to laugh.

"As soon as I came, I heard you laughing, what makes you so happy?" An old voice rang out from outside the door.

I saw a bald old man in a white Tang costume walking in with two young men.

"It turned out to be Brother Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time, you don't take apprentices in Nanzhen, how can you have the leisure to return to China."

"This is not a new two little guys, take them out to increase their knowledge, after all, the roots of Chinese martial arts are here." The bald old man said with a smile as he pushed out the two children behind him.

"This is what Master often tells you, Tang Fulu, Old Man Tang, Terry of the Hungry Wolf Team was taught by him." Zhen Yuanzhai introduced him to his own apprentices.

"Sugar gourd? Does the old man also like to eat sugar gourds, and Alice likes to eat them too! ”

"I'll just say that old man, you don't get a good name, it sounds like food." The green-haired teenager with headphones pouted.

"Well, I really want to go back to sleep." Another white-haired teenager holding a large pillow yawned with eyes open as if he hadn't woken up yet.
