Chapter 125: One person is missing
Liang Zihu saw that Haochen did not refute his words again, so he continued: "Very good! Since there is no rebuttal, then I declare that Hu Yun won the first round of the competition! Haoran is not sorry to die because of violating the qualifications of the game, let's start the second game!"
Although Haochen was very uncomfortable when he heard this, because Liang Zihu was much stronger than him in terms of strength and status, he didn't dare to say anything.
But not saying it doesn't mean that he doesn't resent it. He is a strong person in the middle, so he naturally knows that it is absolutely impossible for him to fight against Liang Zihu, and Hu Yun seems to have the ability to kill, so he naturally has the idea of killing Hu Yun.
"What do you want to do?" Liu Qing also noticed his movements, so he hurriedly warned: "Let me tell you, the county magistrate is watching now! If you dare to make a move, our Liu family will be implicated, because you are now our Liu family's housekeeper." ”
"But I can't let my son die in vain!" Haochen wanted to continue, but after seeing Liu Qing's eyes that wanted to kill, he didn't say more: "Okay! I won't do it in the arena, I'll do it at night!"
"It's okay! Remember not to make too much noise! If it affects tomorrow's plan, you can look good!" Liu Qing did not object, but agreed.
The first round was easy, almost all four except for Hu Yun passed smoothly, and after a fierce battle, the sixteen players for the next round have been established.
Among these sixteen people, all the people of the three major families were selected, and there were ten in total. And the rest are the elites of those small families.
It's not that the descendants of the three major families are talented, but because they were born in a big family, and they are born to enjoy better resource training than others. In this case, even if they are a waste, they can still be cultivated to become a strong person, which is why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
You must know that the most important thing on this continent is strength, and the stronger the strength, the more noble the status. And the higher the status, the more money, resources and honor, and with resources, the younger generation can be cultivated and the younger generation will be stronger. In this way, as long as there are no accidents, a strong family will gradually grow stronger in this virtuous circle.
The weak will only be endlessly suppressed and exploited on this continent, they may be able to get resources, but they can't keep them for themselves, so they can only gradually die.
However, the whole game was still very smooth, except for the first game after Hu Yun killed Hao Ran, there was no death of any contestants. Although injuries occurred from time to time because of the game, they wanted to hide their strength in the first game, so they didn't make heavy moves, so that both sides were not seriously injured, and they were still able to get better in one day.
Because the strength content of the first game is not high, most of it is a crushing game, so by the time the competition is over, some people in the audience have fallen asleep, and even some people who are standing have fallen asleep.
In order to wake up these people who had fallen asleep, Liang Zihu raised his voice: "Very good, the first round of the competition is over, please go home and have a good rest." Tomorrow is a very important game, and I don't want everyone to have a fight like today, so it's better for me to give it my all!"
Liang Zihu's words were indeed grandiose, and even the bird that had fallen asleep in the tree was woken up by him, and the people around him naturally did not need to say anything.
Seeing that everyone was already sober, Liang Zihu knew that his effect had been achieved, so he began to talk about the key content: "Tomorrow in this game, other colleges will also come, as long as you advance to the top eight, you can join the academy other than Tongtian Academy, so everyone do a good job!"
Liang Zihu's words undoubtedly gave another shot of chicken blood to the people present, originally thought that only the top four would have a chance to enter the academy, but now I didn't expect the top eight to be fine. Although these academies are certainly much worse than Tongtian Academy, they are at least better than none. Of course, the top four entered the Tongtian Academy, that was for sure.
Then Liang Zihu said something that made those young people's blood boil: "For the fairness of the game, the rule of drawing together with the same family is canceled." Tomorrow's game will be scrambled with the number plate, and whatever is drawn is what it is, whether it is your own family or not, in short, only one of the two can be selected!"
As soon as these words came out, the people of the three major families were all worried, you must know that they were not willing to let a junior of their family not be able to enter the academy.
Among them, Weng Fan's face was the most ugly. Although only his daughter was the original descendant of their Weng family who could compete, there were four young people from the family who came to the family except Zhao Yulong, so the chance for them to meet was the greatest.
However, because of Liang Zihu's face, Weng Fan was not embarrassed to say it, so he left sullenly when the meeting was announced.
In the evening, Weng Fan gathered the six juniors together and walked with a worried face: "How is this good! Our Weng family has four participants, what if this happens?"
"Four, the patriarch seems to be five!" Although Zhao Yulong didn't want to hit Weng Fan, he still said this.
"Five, haven't you already obtained that qualification? Where did you get five?" Weng Fan was a little surprised, in his image, the juniors of the Weng family plus Zhao Yulong were a total of five, and excluding Zhao Yulong, wasn't it four?
After listening to this, Zhao Yulong also realized the problem. Yang came later, and he didn't talk much, so it was estimated that he was ignored by Weng Fan. But at the moment, he can't openly remind Weng Fan that he missed Yang Zheng, otherwise it will embarrass Yang Zheng. So he spared a bend and said, "Patriarch, our brothers add up to five, did you miss the eldest lady?"
"How is it possible, my daughter ......" Weng Fan didn't understand the meaning of the words at first, but after halfway through the words, he suddenly understood that he had missed Yang Zheng among the five people in Zhao Yulong's party, so he quickly changed his words: "It seems that it was really missed? How is this good! Now that there are no more places, then one of the five of you must not be able to enroll." ”
"Patriarch, don't worry too much! as long as you enter the top eight, you can join other academies, so that all five of us will have a chance to enroll, but one of us may not be with us!"
"I don't think it's going to be like this! Anyway, I don't know you very well, and when I enter the top eight, I will take the initiative to withdraw from the competition and go to other academies, so that you won't be separated!" Yang Zheng saw it more openly.
"But there's one more game before you get into the top eight, what if you do?"
"I said patriarch, don't worry about it! The chance of meeting sixteen people is too small! Besides, isn't there Brother Long? As long as Brother Long goes to find that old man Liang, we will be stable in the top eight!" Hu Yun's personality was completely opposite to Weng Fan, but his words changed the solemn atmosphere.
"Hu Yun can't talk nonsense! Others are county magistrates, beware of losing your head!" Zhao Yulong replied to him half-jokingly.
Hu Yun naturally knew that he was joking, so he became a little rampant: "Cut! Who is afraid of losing his head! You must know that Brother Long is going to rule the mainland in the future, and he is a little county magistrate is a ghost?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yulong couldn't hold the teacup in his hand and fell directly to the ground. Hu Yun also realized that he had said the wrong thing the moment the teacup landed, Zhao Yulong had told him before that the matter of his life experience must not be passed on. Although Hu Yun didn't say this explicitly, if he said that whoever has the ability to rule the continent in this world is Emperor Wu, it is none other than Emperor Wu, so this indirectly says that Zhao Yulong is the reincarnation of Emperor Wu.
However, Weng Fan didn't think so, in his opinion, this was just a joke from Hu Yun, after all, he didn't believe in ruling the mainland. However, when he saw that the teacup in Zhao Yulong's hand fell to the ground, he hurriedly swept it with cleaning utensils.
"What's the matter, sir? Could it be that the teacup is hot?"
"Not really. Zhao Yulong heard from Weng Fan's tone that he didn't notice anything, that is, he understood that he was too worried, so his mood eased a lot, but he still pretended to be heavy and said: "I don't know why? I always have a bad premonition, as if someone is watching outside the window." ”
"Really, then I'll take a look outside the door!" In Weng Fan's impression, what Zhao Yulong said was generally right, so he chose to believe it this time.
He decisively pushed open the door and saw a dagger that wanted him to cut it, but fortunately he had prepared before opening the door, so he easily dodged it.
The man was obviously an assassin, and when he saw that the sneak attack failed, he stopped pestering and fled.
Weng Fan wanted to catch up, but found that he couldn't catch up with him at all, so he turned around and came back.
Although the assassin didn't catch it, Weng Fan was very happy: "Sir, you are really a god!
At this time, Zhao Yulong didn't know how to answer him, but smiled awkwardly. In fact, how did Zhao Yulong know who was out there? He just broke the teacup for himself to cover up, but he didn't expect to really say it!
This made Zhao Yulong himself have to admire himself, wouldn't it be that he casually pointed out a place where there were treasures?
However, Zhao Yulong didn't have time to take care of this, because he hadn't answered Weng Fan's words yet. So he casually said a few perfunctory words: "This! is because of ...... Forget it, I'll go to the county magistrate first and try not to explain the five of them meeting together in tomorrow's game, and I'll tell you when I come back, otherwise others will sleep when I go late. ”
After speaking, Zhao Yulong hurriedly went out and ran towards the inn where Liang Zihu lived. In fact, Zhao Yulong was not in a hurry, because he knew that no matter when he went, Liang Zihu would be waiting to see him. However, Weng Fan's words made it difficult for Zhao Yulong to answer, so he found this excuse and ran out.
Outside the Weng family's mansion, an assassin was panting. Although his body was already very strong, because he had accumulated too much spiritual power on his feet when he escaped just now, he was inevitably a little unbearable now.
Now he was resting against the wall outside the Weng family's house, and he didn't forget to curse and scold: "Damn! Why Weng Fan's guy is also there! Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise it would be strange if I was caught by Weng Fan and I wouldn't die! Forget it, let's go back to the city lord first!"
With that, he got up to leave. But at this moment, he saw a person coming out of the Weng family's house. This person is none other than Zhao Yulong.
After seeing Zhao Yulong close the door of Weng's mansion, he immediately became excited: "Yo! Isn't this the alchemist of the Weng family? If I kill him, I don't know if the city lord will reward me?" After speaking, he quietly followed with the knife.
He walked very lightly, in order not to let Zhao Yulong find out. And he also looks for cover from time to time to hide, all of which is done very professionally. This made him very proud of himself, and he gradually approached Zhao Yulong, and it seemed to him that his plan was about to succeed.
However, Zhao Yulong had already noticed him, and also knew that he was Haochen. To be honest, Zhao Yulong could think of him with his toes. Because his son has just died today, and the Weng family who came here is another assassin, who else can there be?
However, Zhao Yulong was not in a hurry to clean him up. Because Zhao Yulong thought the same as him, wait for him to get closer before making a move, so that the movement will be smaller. And the first move will not only make a big noise, but it is also very likely to fail.
So both of them were waiting to get closer to each other, so Zhao Yulong's pace slowed down, while Haochen's pace accelerated.
Finally, the distance was getting closer and closer, and Zhao Yulong was already in Haochen's attack range, which made Haochen very happy, because he was about to succeed. So Haochen was a little excited, and his heartbeat was a little faster.
He didn't know why, but he was so excited when he was so well trained. As usual, his heartbeat would never have increased when he assassinated someone. But he didn't care too much, it was all because the person he killed this time was more important, so he was just happy.
But there was one thing he didn't know, and that was that his heart would involuntarily beat faster when his prey was close to the hunter, and he was in this state now.
But a person who has been confused by excitement will not perceive the danger, so he naturally does not know that the Grim Reaper has already swung a knife behind his back.
His heart was beating faster and faster, and he even had some feelings of fear. However, he still felt that this was the excitement that he wanted to succeed, so he did not hesitate to knife Zhao Yulong.
Just as his knife was about to fall, Zhao Yulong suddenly laughed weirdly. Then behind Haochen, a giant beast swallowed him in one gulp.
Haochen naturally didn't know what was going on, he didn't know that Kui was following behind him. He didn't know that Zhao Yulong could do illusions, and it was even more impossible for him to know that Zhao Yulong's illusions could still make people feel something. In short, he didn't even know how he died.
Kui naturally doesn't eat people, so after making sure that Haochen has been bitten to death by himself, he spit it out.
And after Zhao Yulong confirmed that Haochen was dead, he took Kui back and walked straight to the inn where Liangzihu was located.
