Chapter 386: The Opening of the Gang Tournament (Part I)
Rakshasa Sect, White Lotus Sect, Tongtian Sect, Yuan Shimen, Guangfa Hall...... They are all well-known organizations in their countries, and their leaders also have heads and faces, and their identities are extraordinary. Compared with this, the name Chen Sheng is too unfamiliar. It is appropriate to say that it is not well known.
However, at the press conference, Jin Peng announced a video of the Huoyun Evil God breaking into the Gang Building, killing everyone in Longhumen one after another, and seriously injuring Jin Peng, but was knocked down by Chen Sheng. This was captured by a camera in Jinpeng's office. Although it is very short and quite vague, as long as he is also a martial arts master, after watching this video, he will naturally be able to understand Chen Sheng's strength. Needless to say, everything else.
In the afternoon of the same day, Dongfang Invincible, chairman of "White Lotus International Co., Ltd.", held another press conference and announced in a high-profile manner that he would participate in the competition. The situation immediately changed dramatically. For a time, the rivers and lakes were surging. The most direct reaction is that the international gambling group quickly opened a odds market for this competition, guessing who is the favorite to win the championship among so many invited masters.
Chen Sheng, as the only contestant launched by the Gang, is of course also on the list. But insiders can only watch the doorway, and laymen can only watch the excitement. Therefore, ordinary people are not very optimistic about Chen Sheng. His odds are about 100 to 120 times around Fudong. Most people think that Chen Sheng can only survive the first or second round at most. But it's certainly not going to be able to support a third round. 300 million US dollars, Zhenyuan Neidan, and the Emperor of Ginseng must all be in other people's pockets. Therefore, among the handicaps of gambling groups, the most people bet on Tongtianjiao Lao Tianzun - the personal odds are 3.5 times, and the Yuan Shimen Chiyou - the personal odds are 8 times.
Tongtianjiao and Yuanshimen are both extremely powerful groups in Thailand, and the business of the underworld and the white road is full of money, which can be said to be rich and rivaled by the country. The $300 million prize money is very attractive to others. But for the three of them, it's not a big deal. Zhenyuan Neidan is extremely attractive to martial artists, but ordinary people don't know what it is at all, and Jin Peng doesn't explain it. The origin and efficacy of the Wannian Emperor are clear, but this kind of thing is too mysterious for ordinary people, and many people will be suspicious of it. So will the Rakshasa White Lotus and the Three Sects of Tongtian be willing to agree to appear? Many media have questions about this.
With a skeptical mentality, a number of media went to Thailand to try to interview the three religions, and asked them if they were interested in participating in the gang competition. But after many attempts, it was always to no avail. Let all kinds of speculation from the outside world become more and more noisy. Even, some media think that the names of the three religions in Thailand are too real, but in fact, they dare not participate in the competition at all. Extremely cynical.
Regarding the question of whether the three Thai religions will participate, Chen Sheng has never had the slightest worry. Because he knew that the Wannian Emperor was a must-have for the three religions. In order to get the emperor, they will definitely come to the competition.
The ancestor of the three religions in Thailand is the ancestor of Tongtian Yu Tong. This person was born in the last years of the Qing Dynasty. He once assisted Shi Da, the winged king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty. After the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Yu Tong went to Thailand to avoid trouble. In his later years, he integrated his lifelong martial arts cultivation into a book of "Tao Sutra".
Yu Tong was partial to the little apprentice, and before he died, he handed over the Taoist scriptures to the little apprentice to take away secretly, and refused to pass them on to the three major disciples of his disciples, Manjushri Tianzun, Guangfa Tianzun, and Yuan Shi Tianzun. From the notes left by the master, the three days of Venerable then created the three great masters of Xuanyuan Shocking Heavenly Technique, Pangu Heavenly Extreme Earthquake, and Fuxi Wentian Urn. The three great masters have their own emphasis, but they all have the limit of the thirty-nine heavens, and their power is comparable to that of the Yijin Sutra Black-level Floating Slaughter. However, if it lacks the Dao Sutra Mental Method, it is not as good as a black-level war paint after all.
Not long ago, in the Tongtian Sect's 100th Anniversary Ceremony, the three schools exchanged their own knowledge of the Tao Sutra and copied one-third of their own Dao Sutra Mental Method (which was sold at a high price by the descendants of Tongxiao's apprentice), so that the Dao Sutra is expected to see the light of day again. However, after the descendants of the Three Sects obtained the full Taoist scriptures, they tried to cultivate, but found that the effect was greatly less than expected. The power is not as good as the three great masters such as Xuanyuan Shocking Heavenly Technique, Pangu Heavenly Extreme Earthquake, and Fuxi Asking Heavenly Jar. What exactly is the problem?
Under scrutiny, the leaders of the three sects all believed that although the mastery they practiced was from the Taoist scriptures, after all, they had their own emphasis, and over the years, it was inevitable that there would be some deviations. The Taoist scriptures, on the other hand, focus on balance. That's why it's so difficult. The solution to the problem is to improve the physical fitness with the help of the miraculous effect of the Ten Thousand Years Emperor and make up for the shortcomings, so that the due power of the Dao Sutra can be truly exerted.
Now that he has thought of the crux of the matter, the emperor has become something that the three religions are determined to obtain. So, now that it has been announced that the emperor is the prize of the competition, how can they bear not to fight?
Of course, in fact, what Chen Sheng really wanted to fight was not any one such as the White Lotus Sect, the Rakshasa Sect, the Three Sects of Thailand, or the Wudang Sect of the Shaolin Temple of the Ancient Martial Arts, but the invincible ancestors in the world. The old ancestor was invincible in the world, and he was the supreme master closest to the Broken Void Realm. In the face of him, absolutely no one in the world dares to hold him up. Especially the Firmament Treasure Book, one of the four great miracles of the ancestors, made Chen Sheng dare not ignore it.
I remember that Chen Sheng had a relationship with the mysterious King Yu by chance. In order to deal with the two enemies who were also 7 stars, King Yu took the initiative to take over Chen Sheng's body, and used the Firmament Treasure to extract the Qi of the Nine Heavens and temporarily strengthen this body. Then use it to push the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Fist to easily kill the enemy. Therefore, Chen Sheng was extremely impressed by the Firmament Treasure.
Although the Firmament Treasure Treasure displayed by the old ancestor would definitely not reach the level of King Yu, Chen Sheng still did not dare to slack off. Anyway, until the start of the conference, there are still about two months, so I just used this time to try my best to rebuild my strength. So in addition to continuing to practice Baquan in depth, Chen Sheng spent a few more days to quickly become a silkworm skill and a bully leg, and even began to study that style of Rulai Divine Palm.
At the same time, Jinpeng is not idle. He didn't expect to beat Chen, so he didn't plan to compete in the tournament. However, as the host, the participants of this competition may also need to take action in order to prevent possible emergencies. When the time comes, if you make a move but can't control the scene, won't the demonstration be successful, but a fool's errand? Where did the face of the gang go?
Although he has already practiced to gather the sun and return to one, after fighting with the Huoyun Evil God, Jin Peng knows that there is still a big gap between himself and the top master in the world, and he must not be complacent. It just so happened that Dongfang Invincible sent Yin Ye Ancestor and grandson, so Jin Peng pushed the boat down the river, used the antidote of the Ice and Fire Bliss Pill to obtain the Yin World Wonder Sutra from Yin Ye's mouth, and immediately practiced with Jing Bu Jing and the other three people.
On the other hand, Huqin was taught the secret of longevity by Chen Sheng, and he also worked hard to cultivate. Her qualifications were good, but she didn't have suitable martial arts in the past, so she has been hovering between the second and third rates. The longevity formula was just right for her, so in just a few days, she had already cultivated her innate pure yin true qi. The strength has grown by leaps and bounds. But even so, at most, she has only improved from the level equivalent to about three or four levels of the golden bell jar to about seven levels. In this conference full of masters, I was not even qualified to be a substitute, so I had to be an audience.
There is still about a month left before the opening of the conference. The three religions of Thailand are still keeping their tone very steady. On the contrary, in other aspects, news has come one after another.
The first is the half-host, the White Lotus Sect, which is also rooted in South Korea. During this period, there seemed to be something going on within the White Lotus Sect. Dongfang Wuji did not hesitate to spend a lot of vitality, and used his lifelong cultivation to help his nephew Dongfang Zhenlong open up the meridians and let him rush to the realm of the Eight Yangs. The hidden dangers within the White Lotus Sect have been completely eliminated, and its strength has reached a higher level. Therefore, according to speculation from the outside world, in addition to the sect leader of Dongfang Invincible, it is likely that Jin Shenglao, Dongfang Wuji, and Dongfang Zhenlong and other three people will also have a chance to make a move.
In terms of the Rakshasa Sect, after watching the video, the old evil god Xicheng Wang must have known that the fire cloud evil god Xicheng Yong had died. In anger, he mobilized his contacts and asked Japanese parliamentarians to make solemn representations to the South Korean side, demanding that Chen Sheng and Jinpeng be arrested on charges of murder and then extradited back to Japan for trial.
The fire cloud evil god died on the closed Han River Bridge, and no third person saw the scene at that time (the ancestor was an exception). In the video released by the gang, the Fire Cloud Evil God was just knocked out of the building. But then many people used their mobile phones to film the Huoyun Evil God standing up from the wreckage of the helicopter unharmed, and then following Chen Sheng to chase it over. Therefore, Jin Peng also mobilized his connections and flatly denied that the Fire Cloud Evil God had been killed. At the same time, he condemned the evil god of Huoyun as a terrorist and strongly demanded that the Japanese side hand over the murderer and extradite him to South Korea for trial.
All of a sudden, South Korea and Japan engaged in a war of words with each other, from the official president, prime minister, and members of the National Assembly, to various non-governmental media and non-governmental organizations. You come and go, and it makes even more noise. It turned into a diplomatic storm.
In the midst of all the attention, the days passed day by day. Finally, the day of the official unveiling of the martial arts competition has arrived. The venue is located at the foot of Seoraksan Mountain. In just two months, a huge building has been added to the sky, which is almost exactly the same as the Colosseum in ancient Rome, and can accommodate more than 50,000 spectators at the same time. In just over two months, it is a miracle that such a competition venue can be built.
The drums were noisy, the crowds were surging, and the seats were full. In the venue of the Gang Competition, there were not only tens of thousands of spectators at this moment, but also various media set up long guns and short cannons, aiming at the center of the venue. In the center of the venue is an open space about the size of a standard football field. Above the clearing, several huge screens hung on them, scrolling to play the information of the invited contestants such as Dongfang Invincible, Tie Linggong, Chi You, and Bai Wuya. From age, height, weight, good martial arts, and odds, they are all marked one by one.
Such detailed information seems to further stimulate the enthusiasm of the audience to bet. At this moment, through live betting sites and the Internet, the amount of money bet on this tournament has been at least billions of dollars!
At 7 o'clock in the evening of this day, the gang competition officially began!
