Chapter 193: Ma Lao Er Shows His Might (I)
Six days later.
The group arrived at Shuichang City near noon. Seeing the huge city wall seventy or eighty zhang high from a distance, a vicissitudes of life rushed to his face, which made Zhang Hao's face appear a touch of shock.
Xihe City can be said to be the second largest city in the country of Xiran, the city wall is only 35 zhang, it is said that the city is the national capital, the city wall is only 40 zhang, but the Shuichang City in front of you is not even the top ten cities in the Tianshui Empire, but it has such a vast scale. It was only at this moment that Zhang Hao realized the reason why a country like the Xiran Kingdom was called the Northern Barbarian Country.
Slowly suppressing the shock in his heart, Zhang Hao's brows furrowed. It stands to reason that Uncle Ge and Ma Lao Er should have arrived in Shuichang City two days earlier than them, but they were not waiting for everyone outside the city at this time, which made him a little puzzled.
After a while, everyone came to the gate of the city, and after Wu Yan took out the Summoning Grandmaster Medal, the soldiers who blocked it respectfully let him go. Even in a superpower like the Tianshui Empire, summoning a grandmaster is a very respected existence.
Entering the city gate, I looked around, but I didn't see the shadow of Uncle Ge and Ma Laoer. Finding that many passers-by on the street in front of them gathered together, hurriedly converging in a certain direction, Zhang Hao turned his head and said, "Mother, you guys are here to rest a little now, and I'll go to the front to see what's going on." ”
"Fat brother also goes. The fat man in the back saw that there was a lively scene to see, so he hurriedly followed.
Entering a shop selling phantom beast eggs next to the crowd of onlookers, looking at the shop, Xiao Er looked out curiously, Zhang Hao followed his gaze and said, "Little Second Brother, is there something going on in Shuichang City today? How can so many people gather together with great interest?"
The shopkeeper squinted at Zhang Hao slightly, and said with interest: "You guys came from other places to participate in the college's enrollment, right?"
Seeing Zhang Hao nodding, the shopkeeper sighed and said, "I advise you outsiders, if you don't have some background, you must be low-key." No, many people have come to Shuichang City to participate in the college enrollment recently, and the inn is almost crowded. A day ago, two people offended the Zhou family, a big family in Shuichang City, because of renting a house. This week's family is not easy to mess with, they are ruthless characters from top to bottom!"
Seeing Zhang Hao nodding slightly, the shopkeeper said excitedly: "That house is the property of the Jinzhan Chamber of Commerce, it may be that the two outsiders rented it first, but then they were taken by Zhou Lei of the Zhou family." The Zhou family is one of the best families in Shuichang City, and they usually cooperate with the Golden Hairpin Chamber of Commerce. How could the latter easily offend him? It stands to reason that the two outsiders would give up, and the Golden Hairpin Chamber of Commerce would also return the deposit twice. But I don't know how Zuihou fought. One of them signed a life and death contract with Zhou Lei, the grandson of the Zhou family who was about to enter the academy, and they duel this morning. ”
"Tsk, Zhou Lei has not yet entered the academy, he has already reached the summoning master, and the phantom beast is a seven-star medium. Because the Zhou family is not small, this matter is boiling in Shuichang City, and anyone can see that the Zhou family wants to take this opportunity to make their juniors famous. Although the shopkeeper had some disdain on his face, he was actually very envious in his heart.
"Little Second Brother, do you know what the name of the outsider who signed the life and death certificate is?" Zhang Hao asked urgently.
"I don't know about this, go thirty or forty meters ahead, there is a notice posted there, you can go and see for yourself. The shopkeeper tilted his head and glanced outside, and said.
Hearing this, Zhang Hao nodded and thanked him, pulled the fat man out of the store hurriedly, and walked quickly towards the place where the flow of people gathered not far from the street.
Squeezed into the crowd, raised his head and glanced at the huge bulletin box in front of him, Zhang Hao's face couldn't help but change slightly, because the two big characters on the left of the life and death form were not Ma Er?
"Hey, last time in our Shuichang City Duel Arena, there were two illusionists who signed a life and death certificate to settle grievances, it's really amazing, as soon as the illusionist transformed, it looked very scary, and even the ground shook out big cracks when they fought. ”
"The person who signed the life and death certificate this time is a very good junior of the Zhou family's generation, and I heard that the phantom beast is a special sea demonic beast from the wasteland of the open sea, which is particularly powerful. ”
"Let's go, the duel will begin immediately. Let's take a look, I haven't seen an illusionist fight yet. This time, in order to make Zhou Lei famous, the Zhou family has chartered the entire gladiatorial arena of the Golden Hairpin Chamber of Commerce, and you can enter it for free. ”
"Then we have to hurry, I'm afraid we won't be able to get in if it's late." ”
There was a noisy discussion around him, and many people left one after another with excitement on their faces, in the eyes of ordinary people, the illusionist is not only a noble existence that marks his identity, but also that mysterious way of fighting can arouse people's strong curiosity. Therefore, the gladiatorial arena opened by the Golden Hairpin Chamber of Commerce in Shuichang City is very popular, and after a long time, it has also become a place for many people to settle personal grievances.
Squeezing out of the crowd, Zhang Hao's face sank, and he grabbed a young man who wanted to leave and asked, "Little brother, may I ask, how to get to the gladiatorial arena of the Golden Hairpin Chamber of Commerce?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? So many people are going there, and if you follow the flow of people, won't you just get there?"
Hearing this, Zhang Hao's face was stunned, he shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Fat brother, my mother must be very tired after such a long journey, you go and inform them first, let everyone go to Qingqing's uncle's house to rest for a while." ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Hao added: "Second brother, don't tell everyone in advance, they are worried about the province, let's go to the gladiatorial arena and have a look." ”
"Good!" Nodding, the fat man trotted back to the city gate, and after a short explanation, he returned again.
Seeing that as the fat man walked back, Zhao Lan and the others kept looking this way, Zhang Hao smiled and waved his hand.
"Mouse, go. Let me tell you that the affairs of renting a house in Shuichang City are handled by the Jinzan Chamber of Commerce, so let's go there to inquire about the news of my father and second brother. After returning, he hurriedly said a word, and the fat man pulled Zhang Hao and walked in the direction of the crowd.
After about a quarter of an hour of following the flow of people, a large building appeared in the line of sight, and the flow of people continued to gather from all sides.
With a faint strength on his body, Zhang Hao pulled the fat man, and where he passed, the crowded people were involuntarily pushed aside, but after more than a dozen breaths, the two came to the entrance of the gladiatorial arena.
Walking into the gladiatorial arena, the situation in front of Zhang Hao and the fat man made Zhang Hao and the fat man stunned, at this moment, the gladiatorial arena was almost full of people, including some students wearing school uniforms, at a glance, the square gathered afraid that there would be 10,000 people.
Looking at the crowded scene in front of him, while slightly amazed in his heart, Zhang Hao's eyes flashed with two essences. Scanning around the field, he must have a look in his eyes. Pulling the fat man towards the front of the gladiatorial arena, perhaps there were too many people, many of whom first wanted to occupy a seat, so there were still a few vacant seats in the corner of the third row near the competition platform.
"The duel will begin immediately!"
As soon as he sat down, and before he could even take a breath, Zhang Hao saw an old man with Huafa walk up to the competition platform, and with his announcement, the deafening cheers immediately resounded throughout the gladiatorial arena.
"Everyone be quiet! Next, I invite the dueling personnel, Zhou Lei, the magic summoner of the Zhou family's water system, to play. Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue was slowly quiet, the old man Huafa stretched out his hand and pointed to a young man in the audience and said loudly.
"I heard that Zhou Lei is very likely to go to our Zhongping Academy this time, and with his divine soul talent, even if he goes to the Magic Illusionist Academy, it will not be a problem. ”
"yes! He's very handsome, too. If you come, our Zhongping College is definitely the object of key training. After today's battle, it is estimated that Zhou Lei will immediately become a celebrity in our college. ”
"It's too early to say who wins and who loses, the Golden Hairpin Chamber of Commerce has already identified the strength of both sides, and the Ma Lao Er Phantom Body is also stable at the fifth level, and the Phantom Beast has been promoted to the seven-star low-level realm, although it is a power-type illusion master, but the strength is definitely not bad. ”
"If your strength is not good, don't talk about others, after two years of enrollment, aren't you still hovering at the summoning master level?"
Hearing the dispute behind him, he turned his head and caught a glimpse of a few students wearing the student uniforms of Zhongping Academy, and glanced at the on the faces of the girls and the obvious jealousy of the boys next to him, Zhang Hao turned his head slightly, it seems that Zhou Lei has made many people remember it in just half a day. It seems that this so-called duel method of fame really works.
On the stage, the old man who looked like a referee just finished speaking. A burly young man waved his hands and walked up to the dueling arena. Then the gladiatorial arena erupted in thunderous cheers again.
Seeing this, the old man's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Next, I will invite another dueling officer, the strength to summon the master Ma Er, to come to the field." ”
With Ma Lao Er walking towards the stage with a gloomy face, the cheers in the arena suddenly dropped a lot, compared to the children of the Zhou family who have great fame in Shuichang City, Ma Lao Er, a foreigner, obviously lost in popularity.
"Sure enough, it's the second brother. Looking at the familiar figure slowly walking towards the competition platform, the fat man exhaled softly.
With the appearance of the two, the atmosphere of the gladiatorial arena slowly fell silent after a short period of heat, and the referee spoke: "In the form of a life-and-death duel, one side will lose if he dies or is knocked out of the ring." Is there a problem?"
Hearing the referee's question, Ma Lao Er and Zhou Lei, who had a ruthless face on the opposite side, glanced at each other, and said in unison: "No!"
"Okay! Then the duel begins now!"
After the announcement, the referee stepped aside. When passing by Ma Laoer's side, he said softly: "Boy, the people of the Zhou family are all ruthless. Don't be reckless, if the other party is ruthless, just admit defeat immediately. I'll help you!"
Hearing this, Ma Lao Er glanced at the referee with some gratitude, and nodded without leaving a trace.
As the referee walked to the side of the edge of the competition platform, Ma Lao Er and Zhou Lei stared at each other and confronted each other. After a while, Ma Lao Er was shocked, and the phantom beast quickly attached to his body. Since he broke through the fivefold phantom body, it didn't take long for the phantom beast to be promoted to the seven-star low-level, and at this time, he completed his transformation, and the white light wrapped around his body was quite powerful. The two ape palms were also nearly one-third larger than before.
Feeling the oppressive breath from the opposite side, Zhou Lei snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the phantom beast did not lean over, but slowly condensed its body in the air. This monster is very strange, its body is coiled like a snake, it looks like a fish, its body is slender, its body is full of two rows of thin teeth on both sides, a blood-red tentacle on the top of its head, and it looks very scary.
"This is a tooth-rowing bloody beast that grows in the Seven Stars of the Water System in the open sea. The magic skill melts the teeth and roars, it is very strong, more than a step stronger than Ma Laoer's demonic beast, it seems that the latter should not have much chance of winning this duel. ”
Zhang Hao turned his head to see a middle-aged man beside him who kept shaking his head, and couldn't help nodding secretly. It seems that the people who came to the Colosseum this time were not all ordinary people, but there were also some people with good eyesight.
"Whoosh"
Zhou Lei seemed to be deliberately showing off at this moment, with a wave of his hand, the tooth blood touched the beast and spread his body in the air, and after screaming at Ma Lao Er, it turned into a streamer and rushed into his body.
Next, Zhou Lei's arms swelled around and turned into a mace-like existence, covered with fine fangs of different sizes, a half-foot-long blood-red tentacle grew on his forehead, and his body was covered with a light blue film.
As the two completed their transformation, the entire gladiatorial arena gradually quieted down, and countless eyes focused on the stage, waiting for the upcoming battle......
