39 · First Contest (Part II)
["Hand...... Under...... Stay...... Love ......"]
"Who's that......"
Chen Jian, who was sitting in the stands, suddenly muttered to himself.
"What's wrong?" Cai Gong chewed on beef jerky that he got out of nowhere.
"Ah...... Nothing, it feels like seeing acquaintances. ”
Chen Jian narrowed his eyes. Because they were facing the sun, they couldn't see the specific faces of the visitors on the other side.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much. His eyes hurt and he gave up.
"The people sitting in the stands across from us are all prominent people. Cai Gong said vaguely.
"You can see it. ”
Chen Jian thought of the box on the second floor of the opera house, where those rich people could always buy the best seats.
"I didn't expect there to be a childish competition on the first day. ”
"It's the same every time," Cai Gong said, "the favorite to win the championship must be the first game, but—"
"Just what?"
"There was never a winner in the first game, and it was like a curse. Cai Gong said, "Just like this year's Zhiwei and Xi Que Xian, I don't think they are likely to win the championship." ”
"Oh, why do you say that?"
"Even if you are a genius, you can learn the mental methods of the people of Middle-earth, and their exercises are outdated, and it is precisely because of this that they will always be suppressed by our Wudang. Cai Gong is quite proud.
"The mental method is also outdated?"
"Of course. Otherwise, everyone will be complacent, how will martial arts develop?" Cai Gong finally swallowed the beef and said fluently, "Just like Wudang's mental method, it has been continuously improved over the years, and if you want me to say, those stubborn elders may not be as good as the young Dharma protectors." ”
"But Childish Weeping has also improved the Middle-earth people's mind, and maybe it will make people's eyes shine. ”
"I don't know, let's wait for the official competition to make a judgment. ”
As a loud bell shook the audience, the spectators fell silent. Zhang Shenghan, the head of Wudang who was sitting in the seat, walked out slowly, he didn't show any light skills, just walked with the most ordinary way, but his aura was overwhelming, and everyone held their breath to understand the majesty of this unknown Wudang head.
"The Yellow River is flooding, the locust plague is full of disasters, and being able to meet with the monarchs at such a time is full of the fortune of the Son of Heaven. Zhang Shenghan, the head of Xia Wudang, welcomes all of you to participate in this martial arts conference. ”
His words quickly caused a whisper.
Saying these things at the beginning of the conference was somewhat unlucky, and people couldn't help but question whether he could speak.
"The rules of the martial arts competition of this martial arts conference, I think you have already known it, but according to the usual practice, the next general will make a formal introduction before the competition - the number of participants in this martial arts conference is a total of 167 people, including 83 people in the north district and 84 people in the south district. In the first half of the conference, there will be a two-to-two competition in the region, and according to the ranking of qualifications, the first place in the group will have priority in the second place in the other group, the third place in the group will have priority in the fourth place in the other group, and the fifth place in the group will have priority in the fifth place in the other group. ”
1st place against 2nd place, 3rd place against 4th place, 5th place Civil War. It's to balance the strength of both sides to improve the excitement of the competition. Chen Jian thought to herself.
"At the end of the intra-district competition, the top six martial artists with the most wins in each district will advance to the next round of inter-district competition. ”
It turned out to be a points race.
"The inter-district competition is also the first in the region against the second in the other district, the third against the fourth, and the fifth against the sixth, and the six winning warriors will draw lots to face each other, and the final three will compete in a melee. ”
Scrimmage?
This statement immediately caused an uproar.
There has never been a precedent for a three-person melee in a martial arts conference! Moreover, when the rules were announced a few days ago, it was not said that it would end up in a scuffle.
"This is Your Majesty's will. Zhang Shenghan said lightly, "Your Majesty believes that a warrior who can win the bronze stone crown must not only be strong himself, but also have insight into people's hearts and know the way of cooperation and competition, so in the end, there will be a three-person melee." ”
He raised his voice and suppressed the noise in the arena: "The way of the competition is: no limit to the means, leave the ring first and lose." ”
Chen Jian already knew about it, but after listening to Zhang Shenghan talk about it with his own ears, he still felt terrified.
There has been no shortage of life-threatening duels in previous martial arts conferences, and everyone is accustomed to this, and some martial artists even bring personal grudges to the competition, just to kill the enemy in this area that cannot be covered by the law.
It is hard to imagine that such a fair fight would be allowed in this peaceful country.
"Don't say much," Zhang Shenghan didn't seem to want to stay in the martial arts arena any longer, he quickened his speech, "This martial arts conference has officially begun!"
The brass drum shook the sky, and a strong man shouted loudly.
"The first round: the people of Middle-earth are crying;
The preparation room on the north side and the preparation room on the south side opened at the same time, and the two men walked into the ring from opposite directions.
The blood-boiling atmosphere stirred Chen Jian's nerves, and unconsciously, his heart was beating fast.
"Hey, weep, weep!"
"Xi Que Xian! Xi Que Xian! The first game in these years is a North Victory!"
The sound of gambling was endless, and the whole venue became a greedy blood fight.
"It feels different from what I saw before," Cai Gong looked at the childish cry, "His zeal is so strong." ”
"Definitely. ”
Chen Jian also felt it.
In these days, he got to know Ze Qi again. Although Huang Fuqing's previous explanation was also correct, it was not comprehensive. Zeqi is roughly divided into five inheritances, in fact, each inheritance can be refined into four stages: peak, into the body, into sleep, and at the beginning of the formation.
Take Chen Jian as an example, he could feel his Ze Qi hovering between the peak of the five inheritances and the two realms of entering the body, he guessed that Chen Jian in the past would definitely be able to reach the peak of the five inheritances, but because of amnesia and various reasons, he could only get away with it.
When a martial artist who has reached the beginning of the four inheritances uses Ze Qi, a unique color will appear around him, and the color will be more obvious when Ze Qi is leveled up. This color is closely related to the character and experience of the warrior himself, Chen Jian is golden pink, most likely because Princess Tilting Lotus likes rose gold.
And the childish cry standing in the ring exudes an ominous black all over his body, showing the strength of the five inheritances.
Chen Jian was surprised, Zhiqi has always behaved very aggressively, looking like a sunny and cheerful infatuated teenager, but he didn't expect Zeqi to be depressed gray and black.
Ze Qi can't lie to people, what has he experienced before...... What kind of face is behind the cheerfulness?
Chen Jian suddenly felt that it was the wrong choice for him to cooperate.
He doesn't know much about him, and falling in love with the princess guard is only the tip of the iceberg, maybe it's still a childish lie.
But it didn't seem necessary to drag the princess guards in.
"Looking at his zeal, he can also become a glorious knight. Cai Gong frowned.
For a person like him who only has four Cheng Qi, Wu Cheng Ze Qi is cheating when he participates in the martial arts conference! The same is true for Chen Jian next to him, but he is his own savior, and he is a subordinate of the princess, he will not have any objections, but Zhiqi is a complete outsider.
"It seems that Xi Que Xian is more than lucky, but it's a pity that she is a beauty. ”
"Not necessarily. Chen Jian said seriously, "Although Xi Que Xian has not shown her strength yet, she is not an idle person. This first battle has to be watched. ”
"Really?"
Cai Gong looked at Xi Que Xian seriously.
She has a slender figure and delicate appearance, and her long hair is wrapped around the hairpin, which is incompatible with the martial arts arena full of rough mine savagery.
She was staring at the childish weeping, and there was not the slightest wavering or nervousness in her eyes.
"It seems to be really interesting......
Cai Gong admired the woman's calmness, if he faced a martial artist with the strength of the five inheritances, I am afraid that his hands and feet would have trembled a long time ago.
"The first battle of the martial arts conference——"
Brass drums roared.
"Let's go!"
Before the drum shook was over, the two of them started at the same time, and the dust in the entire field suddenly flew into the air, and everyone covered their mouths and squinted their eyes.
I saw the weeping blue and white robes mixed with the black qi, breaking through the mist in the field.
Only then did Chen Jian realize that neither of them had any weapons! No wonder he felt strange when he saw them appear.
The smoke and dust were everywhere, and when the scene was restored, everyone fixed their eyes and saw that the ten fingers of the childish cry and Xi Que Xian were facing each other, and they were competing with the palm technique.
The layman and the martial artist with a lower level of Zeqi couldn't hear the doorway, but Chen Jian could hear it clearly, and these voices seemed to have become a sharp sword, stabbing at Xi Que Xian along the place where the palms of the two met.
This is the "Musical Blade Method" of the Middle-earth people, turning the body into a musical instrument, and the breath blows the body like a breath, and the resonance of the instrument becomes a sharp blade. These are all the things that Chen Jian learned in the imperial court.
Zhi Wei actually controlled the Le Blade Mind Method to the point of his fingertips, and he was indeed a veritable genius.
Chen Jian secretly manipulated his Qi in order to imitate his moves.
A shout of surprise interrupted him.
As if she had been pushed away, Xi Que Xian's whole body suddenly flew out of the ring, and blood spurted out of her mouth at the same time.
"Sister!"
The shouts of the spectators on the opposite side reached Chen Jian's ears.
Sister? Is that the alchemist named Xi Que Yi? I heard that she is Liu Xingjue's apprentice, maybe she knows something.
Chen Jian planned to stop by to meet her after the competition.
"What did he just do?" Cai Gong looked puzzled.
Using his fingers as a medium, he pressed Ze Qi towards Xi Que Xian. Chen Jian explained.
"It's amazing......" Cai Gong was praising Chen Jian and childish weeping.
Before the competition was over, Xi Que Xian fell back to the ground before she was about to fly out of the ring, only one step away from the field.
She panted and wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth.
"It seems that she is a person who does not admit defeat. Chen Jian said.
"How do you see that?"
"The rules of the game are very simple, as long as you win more, you can advance. Twelve out of more than 160 candidates, with Xi Que Xian's strength, she could have given up the fight against Zhiwai and defeated her weaker opponent. In this way, the points should also be enough-"
"Points?"
"Ah, it's a win. Chen Jian pouted.
"Is this a word for the North?"
"Uh...... I don't know where I heard it - let's go back to the competition. She chose to compete with Zhiwai when there was an obvious gap in strength, instead of conserving her physical strength, which shows that she is competitive, or does not accept defeat. ”
Cai Gong looked at him with admiration: "You are worthy of being a person from the capital, Chen Jian, you are really amazing! I only know how to watch martial arts, and I have never thought of thinking about their character." ”
Chen Jian smiled.
He analyzed that Xi Que Xian was also to get closer to her sister. If he asked about Gu Jingmen as a stranger, Xi Que Yi would probably not tell him the truth, and he had to have a good relationship with her first.
"Don't talk about it, just keep watching. Chen Jian pointed to the childish tears.
The childish eyes did not focus on Xi Que Xian, but raised them to the viewing seat.
Zhi Wei also heard Xi Que Yi's voice calling out to her sister.
He was familiar with the voice, so he looked curiously, only to find a figure that wasn't supposed to be there.
Why is he here?
Thinking that he was dazzled, he blinked and found that there was indeed Zhang Huangfuqing's face in the seat.
"Childish crying, please respect this competition!" Xi Que Xian was furious when she saw that the young man was distracted.
Childish weeping took her words as a deaf ear. He was still watching Huang Fuqing.
Huangfu Qing's mouth opened and closed, as if she wanted to say something to him.
Childish weeping imitated his lips and read out what he wanted to say little by little.
"Hand ...... Under...... Stay...... Love ......"
"What did you say?" said Xique.
"Nothing. ”
The childish figure flashed, and instantly narrowed the distance between him and Xi Que Xian. In the next second, Xi Que Xian was grabbed by his collar, followed by an over-the-shoulder fall, and she was flipped out of the ring.
"Hey, what just happened?!"
"It's too fast, he doesn't even seem to use Zeqi!"
The audience couldn't accept such a result, and Zhiwai threw Xi Que Xian off the field like a play, and the fierce clash between the palms before suddenly became a kind of irony.
"Victor - Middle-earth people cry!"
