Chapter 793: Arena

A moment later, Jian Lingshuang gave an order, and the convoy marched towards the large arena in the south of the city. Sword City is really prosperous, the streets are brightly lit, passers-by are bustling, and the big night seems to be more lively than the day.

Wherever the convoy went, pedestrians avoided one after another, and some even pointed to the carriage of the City Lord's Mansion and exclaimed, "Look, that's the convoy of the City Lord's Mansion." There was a sense of admiration between the words.

It wasn't long before the convoy made its way to the entrance to the arena, and when they arrived, the carriage was already parked at the door.

"The City Lord's Mansion has arrived," at the signal of Jian Lingshuang, Lin Xuanzhong was about to get out of the car when a loud voice came from the door. Looking at the direction from which the voice came, it turned out that it was the personnel of the arena who shouted.

"General Lin doesn't need to be surprised, whenever a distinguished guest arrives, the personnel in the arena will inform the identity of the visitor to show respect," Xiaoxiao explained, and Jian Lingshuang got out of the carriage first.

When both of them were standing outside the carriage, a group of people came out of the gate of the arena, and they were walking towards them, and the people at the head were extraordinary. If you look closely, it is actually a high-level martial artist.

"See the City Lord and General Lin," after stopping in front of the two, the person directly recognized Lin Xuanzhong's identity, and Lin Xuanzhong was greatly surprised by that visit.

"General Lin, this is Lin Qingye, the head of the Peak Chamber of Commerce in Sword City, the majority shareholder of the arena. I have sent someone to inform Lord Lin that General Lin is coming, and Lord Lin must have come to greet me and others," Jian Lingshuang pointed at Lin Qingye and gave Lin Xuanzhong a brief introduction with a smile.

"I've seen Lord Lin," the next time, Lin Xuanzhong politely returned the salute to the other party.

"General Lin and Lin are still in their own family, and when they saw each other today, they didn't expect that the famous No. 1 murderer of the Night Army would be so young, and Lin really admired him. ”

Lord Lin smiled, he would have been younger, but he had been in the army for many years, "I don't know if it's because I've been a little impatient with Jian Lingshuang and the others for a night, and at this moment, when I don't want to be too modest, Lin Xuanzhong simply made up a lie that outsiders wouldn't know."

"Two please, generals, all family heads please," Without considering the authenticity of Lin Xuanzhong's answer, Lin Qingye nodded, and turned to look at the others who followed.

After entering the venue, according to Lin Qingye's suggestion, in order to prevent too much attention, Lin Xuanzhong and the others also changed into casual clothes. After that, everyone entered the arena in amazement, and did not stop until they reached the VIP area. The so-called VIP area is really just a few rows of seats closest to the ring. When everyone arrived, someone in the ring was jousting. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lin Mou asked someone to bring some tea," After arranging the seats for Lin Xuanzhong and the others, he smiled, and Lin Qingye left first.

"General Lin, this is the closest position to the ring, it can be said that the competition scene in the ring is clear at a glance, and the general can watch the competition to his heart's content," Lin Qingye had just left, and Jian Lingshuang took the initiative to introduce Lin Xuanzhong.

On the other side, Lin Xuanzhong had already looked at the entire venue, and it was not an exaggeration to describe the entire venue as overcrowded, but there were still some empty seats in their area. According to Lin Qingye's introduction, it was specially left by the athletic side, and in order to ensure their comfort, many vacant seats around them were not given to people.

Now the audience in the arena includes people from Sword City and people from other cities, but the participants are all concentrated in one area. Nodding at Jian Lingshuang, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to listen to Jian Lingshuang's introduction.

"In the days leading up to the end of the month, there will be people fighting in the arena every day, and if you win more than 10 times, you will be eligible to participate in the big competition. There are three levels of martial arts competitions in the Grand Competition, from the fifth-order martial arts to the seventh-order martial arts, and the participants are all the most outstanding people at all levels without exception. ”

"The source of income for the arena is the competition fee paid by the participants on the one hand, and the daily spectators on the other hand. "I didn't disappoint Lin Xuanzhong, because Lin Qingye was not there, and Jian Lingshuang said a lot of things related to the competition.

However, Jian Lingshuang's introduction was not comprehensive enough, and many things that Lin Xuanzhong cared about were all brushed aside, which made Lin Xuanzhong not very happy to listen to it, and it was not until Lin Qingye sent another person in charge of the competition that the situation improved somewhat. The person named Zhang Yuan is not very old, but he obviously knows a lot about the competition.

At this moment, while explaining the competition in the ring to Lin Xuanzhong and others, the identities of the contestants were introduced, so that everyone could watch the battle more easily.

It was very wise for Lin Qingye to send this person to cheer Lin Xuanzhong and them, and it really made the atmosphere a lot lively, otherwise the competition between the fifth-order martial cultivators would not seem to be interesting. According to Zhang Yuan's meaning, they usually hold competitions starting from the fifth-order martial cultivation level and ending at the seventh-order martial cultivation level, but tonight's rules have changed. There are three more competitions to follow, and they will start directly from the level of high-level martial arts.

To put it simply, in order to highlight the dignity of Lin Xuanzhong and others, they have to change the rules of competition. Zhang Yuan's explanation was very interesting, and he used a respectful tone from beginning to end, so that Lin Xuanzhong and the others could not have any dissatisfaction. Anyway, tonight's competition, they have to watch it patiently.

While thinking that what has come is safe, and thinking that Zhang Jiutian should think of a way to help him get out as soon as possible, Lin Xuanzhong's attention is actually rarely on the competition in the field.

Whenever he observed Jian Lingshuang and the others, Lin Xuanzhong also thought that although those people were kind, they might not have a good heart. The situation when passing through the three cities in front is still vivid, thinking of the hostility of the three cities to the night army, the kindness of Jian Lingshuang and the others is especially meaningful. In addition to wanting to find out their details more specifically, I am afraid there are other meanings.

Thinking about it, Lin Xuanzhong always felt that Jian Lingshuang and the others were playing something, and it was very likely to have something to do with him. If you care about the identity of the main general, the other party can indeed go to great lengths about it, but what the other party has planned, Lin Xuanzhong has never been clear.

As his mind gradually focused on some issues, Lin Xuanzhong was even less interested in paying attention to the competition in the ring. Of course, the competition between fifth-order martial cultivators didn't have any highlights for Lin Xuanzhong, it was just a fun.

When Lin Xuanzhong's gaze stopped on the ring, Jian Lingshuang and those family masters didn't say much, but just made eye contact with each other. At the same time, Zhou Wenfeng and the others, who were sitting on the other side, also looked at each other, and the more they looked, the more anxious they became. In fact, those people had already thought that if they were in Lin Xuanzhong's position, they would also be very warm, not to mention that Lin Xuanzhong was younger than them and was not good at dealing with such a scene.

Having determined that they could not take Lin Xuanzhong away, they now only wanted to do their best to ensure Lin Xuanzhong's safety.

Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, it was a high-level martial arts level competition. When the person in charge of another arena in the ring announced a change to the rules of the competition, there was an uproar in the venue. In the midst of discussions, soon everyone's eyes were focused on the VIP area. Whether it is those sons, young ladies, or ordinary audiences, they have all thought that the change in the rules of the arena must be related to the arrival of Lin Xuanzhong and others.

Earlier, many people knew about the night army's entry into the city, but they didn't expect that the city lord and the patriarchs of several major families in the city would be so hospitable to Lin Xuanzhong and the others, and they actually invited them to watch the competition. In the blink of an eye, the voice of criticism and questioning spread throughout the venue, and all those who hated the Night Army felt that Jian Lingshuang and the others had done something wrong.

When those voices reached the VIP area, Jian Lingshuang first asked everyone to be quiet, and then it was incumbent on him to advise everyone to let go of their hatred with the Night Kingdom and strive to repair the alliance. When Jian Lingshuang's majestic voice enveloped the entire venue, the huge venue fell silent.

Then, after many people reluctantly ceased to have prejudices against the Night Army, the person in charge of the ring announced the start of the competition. The next time, two jousting people walked into the ring. At the same time, Zhang Yuan, who was sitting in front of Lin Xuanzhong and Jian Lingshuang, immediately introduced it to everyone. From the identity of the participants, to the experience of participating in the competition in the past, to the personal strengths of the two, Zhang Yuan said it clearly, and only hoped that everyone would be interested in the next competition.

Zhang Yuan said very wonderfully, and the witty narration made Lin Xuanzhong unable to calm down and think about some questions, so he could only shift his attention to the ring.

"Is there a time limit for each competition?" The two in the ring had already fought, and the fierce battle scene aroused Lin Xuanzhong's interest.

"A stick of incense!" Zhang Yuan's reaction was extremely fast, and he seemed to be ready to answer any questions Lin Xuanzhong had.

"Time is too rushed, don't you give people a good time?"

"The general doesn't know something, usually the people involved in the fight have a full understanding of the other people involved in the game, so after coming to the stage, once the fight starts, you can avoid the time to test each other, and then each of them uses their own strengths and attacks the enemy's shortcomings, and they can quickly distinguish the winner and loser. Zhang Yuan's words were concise and to the point, and Lin Xuanzhong didn't quite understand what he said. It took a long time for Lin Xuanzhong to figure out what Zhang Yuan meant.

It turns out that the people involved in the competition know their opponents well, so there is no need to tentatively confirm each other's shortcomings during the competition, and from the beginning, the two can constantly attack each other's weaknesses with their strengths until they are separated.

Knowing each other can indeed shorten the competition time, and trying to understand what Zhang Yuan meant, Lin Xuanzhong no longer feels that the competition time is too short. Not only that, Lin Xuanzhong also thought of going up by himself, as long as he used his body technique to the extreme, and used it to deal with ordinary seventh-order martial cultivators, it might seem too long for a stick of incense.
