Chapter 156: On the eve of the competition
When the sage father and son heard this, their eyes were full of endless disappointment and regret, they did their best, but they complained that their skills were not as good as others, and they could only come with a pride and return with a disappointment.
"This eldest brother is right, rules are rules, and it should be so! It is indeed admirable that the Longyuan Dynasty can have such a loyal warrior!" Lu Suifeng said sincerely, then turned to look at the depressed young man, and said with a faint smile: "You have traveled thousands of miles to cheer for my Dragon Shiwei, how can you be disappointed like this? Don't worry! After a while, you will definitely be able to enter in a dignified manner." The young man was confused when he heard this, shook his head blankly, couldn't figure out the meaning of the other party's words at all, and looked at Lu Suifeng with a puzzled face, believing that the other party would never comfort himself without purpose.
Lu Suifeng flipped his hands, and a pink pill appeared in his palm, "Take this pill, and then go to the forest over there to refine the pill, and in less than half an hour, you can stand up and re-enter the pill." The young man took the pill in shock, and without thinking about it, he put the pill into his mouth without hesitation, and then rushed towards the forest not far away.
"Thank you Gongzi for coming to the rescue!" the sage bowed deeply to Lu Suifeng; "I don't know Gongzi's surname, you and I have never known each other, why do you want to help us?" "You have too many questions, and they are too boring! I only saved you in a single thought, and it has nothing to do with whether we know each other or not." As for who I am, I can ask your son later!" Lu Suifeng didn't like this kind of stupid person, so he dropped a sentence a little impatiently, and didn't want to deal with the other party anymore, so he turned around and left quietly.
Rumble!
There was a dull roar from the trees not far away, and a powerful force shook the surrounding trees, and the fallen leaves flew in all directions. Everyone could clearly feel a king's breath overflowing from the forest. An inconspicuous pill, in a moment, created a king, and everyone sighed. Look at the young man who gave the medicine, but there is no trace of him.
In the martial arts, each team has its own zone. There are only four daily tournaments, with eight teams from two groups competing separately.
The opening match of the martial arts competition is determined by the draw of the first group to which the host belongs, and which team draws the host will become the first match of the tournament.
Long Shiwei's side still sent Yi Feihong out of the lottery to draw lots, will he still have the same bad luck as last time? Although he faced it with a normal heart, even if he unfortunately won the host, no one would complain and blame him for this. But he still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, in short, the first game against the host's Longyuan team was by no means a good thing. According to the layout planned by Lu Suifeng in advance, when encountering the host, he must admit defeat.
Yi Feihong kept holding the drawn lot, and held it for a while before he mustered up the courage to open his eyes and look, the second place, Long Shiwei against the Qingfeng team. That is, the team that ranked ninth in the last edition.
Phew! Yi Feihong spewed out a mouthful of turbid air that pressed down on his heart.
Before dawn, all the teams entered the exclusive area of the martial arts arena, which is also a rule in the competition.
Lu Suifeng was also amazed by this large-scale martial arts arena, especially the geographical location was a must, out of curiosity about this martial arts arena, he casually came out to take a look around, but inadvertently rescued a fellow villager, and he was also a die-hard fan of Long Shiwei, everything seemed to be directed in advance, it was really a coincidence.
The design of the arena is in the shape of a garden-shaped pot, so you can see the whole picture of the stage from any angle. The stage of the martial arts exercise is also in the shape of a garden, 20 meters high, the size is almost the same as the area of a football field, and 2,000 people should be more than outstanding in the middle of the fight.
The whole martial arts arena can accommodate fifteen people without being too congested, and there is still an hour away from the opening time of the competition.
On the luxurious and extravagant guests, it was full of high-level figures of the Longyuan Dynasty, princes and important ministers, and even the Emperor Longyuan came to the competition in person. Lu Suifeng saw an acquaintance beside him, the Duanmu Hall Master of the Danshi Palace. He was also a distinguished guest specially invited by Emperor Longyuan, and he paid great respect to him.
The master of the Duanmu Hall should have been on the way back to the Danshi General Hall at this time, and according to the usual rules, all the eight-rank Danshi would be recruited back to the Danshi General Hall. The reason why the Duanmu Hall Lord delayed his return and deliberately stayed to watch this event was mainly because he came to land the Dragon and Lion Guard team with the wind. The Tianxiang Kingdom ranked twenty-seventh in the last session, and it was as weak as a pile of garbage. Lu Suifeng swore to him that in this competition, Long Shiwei was bound to advance to the top four and obtain the qualification to participate in the Central Continent. It sounds a bit fantastical, and it's even more suspicious of a fool's dream. If it is said that Lu Suifeng himself is the best of heaven and martial arts, he believes it, and he absolutely praises it. But when it comes to his Dragon Lion Guard team squeezing into the top four, it is 100% questionable. In the face of this great unbelief, you have to stay and watch the battle to see how the miracle was born?
"Duanmu Hall Master, I've seen Master Lu recently, is he okay?" asked Emperor Longyuan very casually.
He's been very busy lately, and he seems to be busy preparing for some kind of competition. In short, he rarely returns to the Danshi Palace. The Lord of Duanmu Hall blurted out.
"In this way, the others are still in Longyuan City?" asked the Emperor Longyuan with his eyes lit up and asked happily. These days, he is still sending people around to find the traces of this Master Lu, but there is still no news.
"It should be! At least I won't leave Longyuan City until the tournament is over. "The Duanmu Hall Lord's mind has never been so complicated, and he knows that there are people who are thinking about the elders of his Danshi Hall.
"Participate, in addition to this martial arts competition, there are other events in Longyuan City, how can this emperor not know?"
"The Great Emperor really doesn't know about this, Elder Lu didn't tell you?" The Duanmu Hall Lord shook his head in surprise and said, "No, didn't he ask the Great Emperor to help him?" "No, Master Lu has something to do with this emperor's help?" "Hehe! It seems that this kid is really a bit backbone, and he didn't even play the card of the emperor, and took advantage of the situation to cheat. It looks like you're quite confident in your team!" Duanben Hall Master muttered to himself.
"Clan, Duanmu Hall Master is saying that Master Lu is going to participate in this martial arts competition, and he is also the leader of the team?"
"It seems that the Great Emperor really doesn't know! To be honest, I was even more shocked than the Great Emperor when I heard the news! Because we are all the same profession, there are two completely different realms between Danshi and Martial Artist, how can they be mixed together? It's incredible!" Duanmu Hall Master suddenly remembered Lu Suifeng's perverted martial arts cultivation, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, this kid was constantly challenging and subverting his cognition.
"Then Master Lu is in command of the clan of that kingdom?" Emperor Long Yuan asked eagerly, he was worried about whether this Master Lu would personally put on armor, that bloody fight, the sword had no eyes, if something unexpected happened, then it would really be a big deal.
"It should be the team of the Tianxiang Kingdom, it seems to be called the Dragon Lion Guard, the name sounds very loud and powerful, but I don't know what the combat power is?" The Duanmu Hall Lord said with some worry: "He also claimed that the ultimate goal this time is to advance to the top four, isn't this a little too whimsical?" "The team of the Tianxiang Kingdom, ranked twenty-seventh in the last session, is too weak and unbearable, and it is purely the bottom in the eyes of all countries, and each team wants to compete for points on them, like a sad prey." No one will show sympathy and pity for the weak. Emperor Long Yuan frowned with a wry smile, "How could Master Lu bring such a garbage team to the competition, it is clear that he is humiliating himself and digging his own grave. "I deeply sympathize with the Great Emperor!" the Duanmu Hall Lord sighed with some sadness.
"Didn't you try to persuade the master to give up this competition with the harsh reality?"
"I tried my best to persuade them, but in the end I was persuaded that it seemed to be a bit like myself. The Duanmu Hall Lord said depressedly.
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Emperor Long Yuan was amazed.
He said eloquently: Fifty years of vicissitudes have changed, and the past rankings have become the dust of history. Count the romantic characters, you still have to look at the present dynasty!" The Duanmu Hall Lord repeated according to Lu Suifeng's original words.
"Good! There is momentum, and there is a great atmosphere! It is worthy of the words that came out of the mouth of the Eighth Rank Dan Master, and it suddenly made people's blood boil. Emperor Longyuan praised excitedly.
"Is it so powerful? I just think there is some truth to it!" "Duanmu Hall Lord thought for a moment, "According to common sense, Elder Lu is humble and resourceful like a sea, and we are all clear at a glance, how can he not see clearly? But he is still so determined to forge ahead, can he really turn a team of rotten wood into an iron-blooded hero who shocks the world?" "Yes! This emperor also thinks the same! The first game of today's tournament is my Longyuan team against the eleventh-ranked Lanyun team, and the next is the Dragon Lion Guard team of the Tianxiang Kingdom against the ninth-ranked Qingfeng team. Emperor Long Yuan said meaningfully: "I'm really looking forward to it! What kind of legend will Master Lu have in the Romance Scene?"
