Chapter 7: Darkfire Dragons and Snacks

The Dragon Slaying Conference ended "smoothly", and after saying goodbye to Luo Xuanwei and Ye Longming, Qin Xin and Zuo Ling took a walk in the nearby neighborhood for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In winter, the imperial capital was warmer than the winter prefecture near the northern border of the empire, the wind was not so strong, and the streets of the residential area under the street lamps were sparsely populated, and the two of them silently rolled the road against the wall for a few minutes.

Got to the fast corner.

Zuo Ling stopped and said impatiently: "Can we quickly end this kind of behavior that seems to enhance feelings but is actually meaningless?" Aren't people who walk around the streets idly like mites that slowly wriggle on their skin? ā€

Qin Xin didn't speak, his hands in his pockets and looked at the cold stars in the night sky.

The fourth-order butterfly no longer has to choose clothes according to the season, he is still wearing a thin jacket of black tracksuits, coupled with the action of looking up, which makes him look a little lonely.

This lonely appearance made Zuo Ling feel a little strange.

He suddenly said: "Long Ming, she is still so powerful......"

"Huh?"

"You are not a martial artist, so you can't see it, if your qi and blood were like a whirlpool spinning at high speed in the last competition, it was obvious that it was terrifying, but now she is as quiet as the calm sea, but it is even more terrifying.

If I lose to Long Ming and still don't win the last tournament I played......"

"Shut up, I'm not interested in hearing your grievances." Zuo Ling interrupted him, "Even if you are beaten like a dog by her, I will cure you, I once took a veterinary course last year, whether it is a monkey or a dog, it is no problem." ā€

"Now you go and hail a taxi." Around the corner, she kicked Qin Xin's calf.

"Hurry up!"

December 1, 72 of the Butterfly Calendar, the first day of the Imperial College Kendo Competition.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the contestants and entourage of the Winter Great Kendo Club have been assembled, and they all took a bus to the outside of the Guanyue Gymnasium in the middle of the imperial capital, which is a silver-white circular building built in imitation of the ancient Colosseum.

A hundred participating teams from all over the empire were waiting outside the Guanyue Gymnasium at the moment, they all came to the imperial capital after the fierce competition in the qualifying round, representing the highest level of swordsmen in the imperial academy kendo, the air was filled with invisible gunsmoke, and the fragrance was enough to make the sword wielders intoxicated and enthusiastic.

As soon as His Majesty the white-haired and somewhat confused old man who was speaking in the Guanyue Gymnasium at this moment finished his long and slow speech, the contestants in the preparation area would directly enter the battlefield of the individual competition and start fighting.

In the preparation area of Mount Kinabalu University, the twelve contestants all wore ordinary competition-standard black protective gear, which was dwarfed by the custom-made protective gear of several teams not far from each other.

Feng Zhimu, who still looked lazy in protective gear, asked Li Zhi beside him, "Why does the protective gear of other schools look so different from ours?" ā€

Li Zhi replied: "Those kendo schools are all ordered in advance with special sensor protective gear, and then sent to the competition organizing committee for review. The tournament organizers have a very strict review of items, and any items that may affect the balance of the tournament and unrelated items will not be passed.

The last time our school was shortlisted for the national competition was 50 years ago, this time the lottery was not expected at all, there was no time to order protective gear, and our school will definitely not spend a lot of money to order protective gear from professional institutions, we can only wear this standard protective gear called 'miscellaneous fish black'. ā€

Feng Zhimu looked at the gorgeous and dazzling protective gear of the other teams in the distance, and then looked down at the black and featureless protective gear on his body, is it black and black? It's a fitting name.

"By the way, I haven't seen your bamboo sword yet, I've been hiding it in the sword bag, and I can't take it in with the sword bag in the next game, I'll take a look first, is it a secret weapon?"

Feng Zhemu's expression changed greatly: "Stop!" Li Zhi had already taken out the sword he had hidden for a long time from the sword bag.

This is a bamboo sword with a black background, the top of the hilt is engraved with a butterfly badge, the surface of the sword is outlined with golden-red lines of delicate and complex magic runes, and the name of the sword is written in an extremely arrogant red font on the sword: "Dark Flame Dragon!! Yes, the writer also added three exclamation points in order to increase the momentum.

If it weren't for the light blue label on the gauntlet, no one would have believed that this shameful sword that looks like a children's toy or a cosplay prop would pass the national competition.

Feng Zhimu covered his face in shame and said, "This is what my uncle prepared for me, the man who still has King Solomon's magic array printed on the sheets at an old age...... And he said seriously, if you summon the power of the Dark Flame Dragon, you can triple your attack and defense, damn it, damn it! ā€

"In a sense, it's a secret weapon, this dark flame dragon that my uncle prepared for you, poof......"

Li Zhi kept an expression that wanted to laugh and endured it, and returned the Dark Flame Dragon to him.

The prep area on the other side of the gymnasium.

Surrounded by more than a dozen staff members in orange and black uniforms, a middle-aged professional woman wearing tortoiseshell glasses walked towards the gymnasium, her long brown hair was dyed in a bun, her face was dignified and beautiful, but her solemn expression was awe-inspiring.

While passing by the team of Dongming Forestry University, the middle-aged woman with tortoiseshell glasses suddenly stopped, and more than a dozen staff members around her stopped at the same time.

In the preparation area of Dongda University, among more than a dozen players wearing blue and white elegant protective gear, Qin Xin, who was still in black sportswear, was particularly eye-catching.

Qin Xin saw her gaze, and said in his heart, that woman was the assistant officer who he had seen in the Imperial Capital Central Butterfly Affairs Hall, who was humiliated by his domineering father, Qin Ye, because of fulfilling normal regulations.

Since she had been staring at it, it was impossible for Qin Xin to pretend to be blind and not see it, so she had to step forward and say hello: "Ge ...... Hello Aunt Ge. ā€

Katsuraghiro Mei replied half-lukewarmly: "Isn't this the son of Executive Officer Qin Ye, can't Ling Zun let you go directly to the finals?" It seems that the prestige of the so-called Jingshan Qin clan is nothing more than that. ā€

Qin Xinzheng didn't know how to answer, and a young woman's slightly hoarse voice came from behind Katsuragi Mei: "You can also use that tongue to say again that Jingshan Qin clan is just like that, after this it can enjoy a wonderful retirement life, I will freeze it and store it carefully, it will definitely be much happier than in your rotten mouth, Katsuragi Mei Assistant, I promise." ā€

When Katsuragi heard this, she snorted unhappily, and walked away quickly with the people around her, her high heels collided with the ground, and she disappeared at the end of the entrance of the Guanyue Gymnasium in a blink of an eye.

"Dude! Sister Zuo Ling! ā€

Qin Xin followed the voice and looked, his sister Qin Li, who was wearing the dark blue autumn uniform of Jingshan City No. 1 High School, waved her hand and ran over, Qin Li was followed by a tall woman with a coffee-colored ponytail, she was wearing a black and gold butterfly hall uniform, holding a large bag of snacks in her arms, and the fiery red maple leaf stud earrings in her left ear were particularly eye-catching.

Qin Xin patted his sister's shoulder: "Xiaoli, don't you have to go to class today?" ā€

Qin Li put his hands behind his back: "There is a final exam, but I am a female high school student who wants to dominate the country by skipping classes, I originally planned to skip class and watch the live broadcast of your game at home, but then I simply asked Sister Zilong to take me over to watch it live, how about it, isn't it very moving." ā€

Qin Xin looked up at the tall woman with coffee-colored ponytail maple leaf stud earrings behind her sister, she held a big bag of snacks and bent down slightly and said, "Li Zilong, I've seen the young master." ā€

Between her eyebrows and eyes, she was vaguely similar to Li Bailong and Li Qinglong that Qin Xin had seen before.

Qin Xin said: "Li Zilong? Then Li Bailong and Li Qinglong are you......"

Li Zilong said: "We are four brothers and sisters, I am the last in line, and there is an elder brother named Li Jinlong, but he is not very much on the side of the imperial capital." ā€

"Thank you just now, that Katsuragi Mei thing."

"This is also my responsibility, that woman is the chief executive of the butterfly affairs of this competition, young master, you have to be careful."

At the mention of this, Li Zilong's expression became unhappy, and he complained in a low voice: "The twelve big competitions actually let outsiders interfere, and I don't know what the people of the Du family think." ā€

"Huh?" Qin Xin didn't hear what she said.

Li Zilong hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I wish you a smooth competition and prosperous martial arts." ā€

Qin Li, who was chatting with Zuo Ling, came over at this time: "Sister Zilong and I are going to the audience, brother, you have to come on, this pack of fairy shells will be eaten for you when you play." As she spoke, she took out a pack of fairy shells from the big bag of snacks Li Zilong was holding and stuffed it into Qin Xin's hand.

Qin Xin took the fairy shell and helplessly explained to his sister: "Items that have not passed the review are not allowed to be brought into the battlefield, and the fairy shell is not good, you can eat it yourself in the audience." ā€

Qin Li said: "I know." She pointed to the back of the senbei package, "But this one has passed the audit." ā€

Qin Xin followed her fingers and looked over, and on the back of the bag of fairy shells, there was really a translucent light blue label that had passed the competition.

Qin Li took out two packets of potato chips from the big bag of snacks Li Zilong was holding and showed him: "Look, these have passed the review, just give them all to you, bye." She took the bag of snacks from Li Zilong's arms, stuffed them all to Qin Xin, and left with Li Zilong.

"They really all have labels......" Qin Xin looked at the various snacks in the bag, each bag was labeled.

"Senior, young master or something, are you from a big noble?" A second-year student on the side asked cautiously.

"It's a setting, a setting." Qin Xin smiled wryly, not knowing how to explain to him that he had a father who had exploded in the middle and second grades.

At this time, a staff member in orange uniform ran over and announced loudly:

"His Majesty the Emperor's speech is over, and the contestants are ready to enter!"
