Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Contest Begins
As one of the biggest events of the Song family, the purpose of the juvenile competition is as Song Yi guessed, mainly to show off his muscles to the outside world, so the appearance of the five hall masters is also very aura.
The five hall masters, including Song Qing, flew from not far away with light steps, and every time they jumped, they were able to send their bodies into the air nearly ten meters high, and what directly crossed was the dense crowd around the competition platform, and finally their landing place was the judge's bench on the side of the competition platform.
The five hall masters, the top combat power of the Song family, came to everyone at this moment, even if they were standing at the judging platform, they already gave people a majestic momentum.
"Meet the five hall masters!"
With the appearance of the five hall masters, the people around the martial arts platform, except for the people of the Yang family and the people of the Taiyun Martial Arts Hall, the rest of the people, whether they were outsiders, or the hundreds of teenagers who participated in the competition, all knelt down on one knee directly, and everyone's expressions were full of awe, not far away Song Yi looked at this scene, although they didn't have to go down to worship, but they were very emotional in their hearts, like the Song family's township forces, in a sense, the cohesion is still very good, from a sociological point of view, this is the natural basis brought by blood and geographical boundaries, and a larger range of cities or countries, unless they are facing a catastrophe, it is difficult for this phenomenon to occur。
At this time, at the judging platform, the five hall masters waved their hands to the people around them, and everyone got up, but when everyone got up, the five hall masters did not sit directly on their seats, but looked at the inside of the Song family not far away at this time.
The people who had just stood up, and Song Yuqing and the others in the special audience seat, all noticed the gaze of the five hall masters, and they looked in the same direction together, and then within everyone's line of sight, a black dot appeared, which quickly enlarged, and soon turned into an old figure and landed on the judging platform.
And when this person appeared, whether it was Song Yuqing and others in the special audience, or those onlookers, including hundreds of test participants, they were all slightly stunned.
Because the person who appeared turned out to be the old head of the Song family, Song Cang.
"Oh my God... That's the old master?"
"Hasn't he been presiding over many sessions? Why did he suddenly appear this time?"
......
Song Cang's appearance directly caused an uproar in the crowd, for this old man who has not appeared for many years, many people have almost faded his memory, so no one thought that Song Cang would appear in this juvenile competition, including Song Yuqing and others, which was also very unexpected.
Song Yuqing remembered that in the last junior competition, they were the participants, but at that time, except for the five hall masters, the head of the family, his old man, did not appear, and even the earlier Song Yan class, it seems that Song Cang did not come forward... And this time he actually came forward, how could this not surprise Song Yuqing, Song Yan and others.
And Song Cang's appearance, only Song Yi is not surprised, he has long heard Song Cang say that he wants to come to watch this youth competition, although he is just a bystander and does not host, but his appearance will still directly affect those young men who participate in the competition, after all, in front of a family owner, everyone wants to compete to show themselves, maybe they will get unexpected appreciation.
"Bye... Meet the head of the house!"
Coming back to his senses from the appearance of Song Cang, as soon as the people around him stood up, they immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Song Cang again, and this time everyone's expressions were no longer in awe, but admiration.
However, when everyone knelt down on one knee in front of them, in fact, most people didn't notice that Song Cangzheng was lowering his head at this time, holding a square wooden plate on his palm, and his other hand was constantly sliding back and forth on the top of this wooden plate.
The audience was silent, except for bursts of snapping sounds from Song Cang's hands, like the sound produced when wooden blocks collided together.
Some people looked up curiously, but they couldn't tell the things in Song Cang's hands, including the five hall masters behind Song Cang, they were also a little stunned at this time, they could see that Song Cang was in a state of concentration, and they probably didn't notice that there were thousands of people kneeling down on one knee in front of them.
At this time, in the special audience, Song Yi was also slightly stunned, and the expressions of Song Yuqing and the others beside him were as shocked and puzzled as those who knelt down on one knee, but only Song Yi knew what Song Cang's hand was.
That was the Huarong Dao that he gave to his old man two days ago.
Song Yi had an intuition, maybe Song Cang had been playing with this thing for the past two days, and he was addicted to it.
So it was very embarrassing, time passed, and a minute passed quickly, but when a group of people were kneeling on one knee, Song Cang was still lowering his head and playing with Huarong Dao in his hand, and it wasn't until more than two minutes later that the five hall masters behind him had to remind Song Cang.
"Huh?" Song Cang raised his head at the prompting of the five hall masters, and when he saw the thousands of people kneeling on one knee in front of him, he waved his hand directly: "Get up, do what you have to do, don't disturb me before the final final." ”
What Song Cang said was so simple and concise that the audience was stunned, and then Song Cang directly took the Huarong Dao plate in his hand, walked to the outermost seat of the judging platform and sat down, and then directly buried his head in playing with his unsolved situation, this scene made several hall masters around them look at them curiously, but when they saw Huarong Dao in Song Cang's hand, they were all at a loss, obviously no one had ever seen this kind of thing.
"Ahem!" Faced with such an embarrassing situation, Song Yuan, the master of the Heavenly Number Hall, had to cough dryly, in order to restore the excitement and popularity of the scene, he immediately cleared his throat and said to everyone around the martial arts:
"Now I announce that the Song family's biennial juvenile competition will start now!"
"The rules are the same as in previous years, the age of the participants shall not be less than thirteen years old, shall not be eighteen years old, and the cultivation level shall not be lower than the seventh vein of the Sense Spirit Realm, and then, the competition is divided into three stages, the first stage is the elimination competition, because the age gap will bring many variables, so the participants in the competition will play against those of the same age through the lottery, from thirteen to seventeen years old, and finally five of the best in their respective age groups will be selected. ”
"The second stage is a cross-age battle between the best five players in their respective age groups, using a cross-style duel, and the winner who wins three times will advance to the final of the third stage. ”
"Finally, after our discussion, there are three kinds of awards this time, but those who win in the same age group will receive a reward of thirty gold coins, and those who can accumulate three wins in the second stage will receive another fifty gold coins, and finally, win the junior competition champion This will be awarded one hundred gold coins, plus one Ning Yuan Dan. ”
Song Yuan's words fell, and it directly detonated the atmosphere around the competition platform, especially the last three big awards, because most of the contestants were children of outside clansmen, so even if it was the final award, that is, thirty gold coins, it would be a family income for several years for them, and as for the higher ones, let alone higher.
However, what people care about the most is the last Ning Yuan Dan, which is an extremely expensive pill, it is said that in the entire Northern Wilderness Dynasty, there are not many alchemists who can refine it, and in fact, the material of Ning Yuan Dan is not complicated, because it is purely an elixir condensed by the vitality of heaven and earth, this kind of pill is of little use to people who feel the spirit realm, but for those who enter the spirit realm, this is definitely a big treasure.
So, after Song Yuan announced the rules of the competition, Song Mumu and Song Puppet and others in the special audience seat were directly occupied, and Song Yi, as one of the participants in this competition, also stood up and prepared to go to the competition platform.
However, when everyone focused on the rich awards, Song Yi set his eyes on Song Cang at the judging table, looking at the old man who was still living alone a while ago, he suddenly became very enthusiastic and energetic for such a small toy, and he couldn't help but smile.
