Chapter 123: The Holy Land
readx;
On the 15th of the federal calendar, it was already early winter in the morning in Busan, and people were already wearing long sleeves and coats. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHowever, the Busan City Gymnasium is full of people, and the stadium with a capacity of 100,000 spectators is already full, and the first high school martial arts competition in Busan will be held here for six days. As a major event in Busan's martial arts world, the crowd of natural spectators has long since sold out 100,000 tickets, and there are still many people who do not have tickets outside the venue, and they refuse to leave for a long time.
As the first high school martial arts competition in Busan, the Busan City Government and the Busan Martial Arts Center attach great importance to it. At about half past seven in the morning, many big figures on the rostrum had already sat down one after another, and sitting in the center was a tall man wearing a silver-gray martial uniform, with a white face and beard, a ruddy face, and bright eyes, who was Wang Hong, the special envoy of the Tiannan Prefecture Martial Arts Hall.
Wang Hong's strength is not the strongest among the people seated, but he represents the Tiannan Prefecture Martial Arts Hall, and it is also the right thing to sit in the center. To Wang Hong's left is Yan Weiming, the owner of the Busan Martial Arts Center, and to the right is the mayor of Busan, Chen Wenguang. Other patriarchs of top families in Busan, such as Wang Yuanshan, the head of the Wang family, and Qi Zhiming, the head of the Qi family, also sat in the front row in turn.
The last few rows were mainly occupied by officials from the Martial Arts Guild and the government, as well as patriarchs or elders of other first- and second-rate families. It can be said that the most powerful people in Busan are basically already sitting, and if everyone present is wiped out, the entire city of Busan will be paralyzed.
"Special Envoy Wang, on behalf of the Busan Municipal Government, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for coming to Busan to attend the first high school martial arts competition in Busan," Chen Wenguang turned his head to Wang Hong in the spring breeze.
"Mayor Chen, you are so polite, it is a great honor for me to be able to represent the Tiannan Martial Arts Association to attend your first high school martial arts competition in Busan," Wang Hong also said with a smile on his face. Although he was the special envoy of the Tiannan Prefecture Martial Arts Hall and represented the Tiannan Prefecture Martial Arts Hall, in front of Chen Wenguang, he did not dare to put on the slightest show. The other party is already the head of a city at a young age, and he is also a child of the Chen family, one of the eight families in Tiannan, and the future is limitless.
Wang Hong and Chen Wenguang, one is an official of the Federal Martial Arts Association, and the other is an official of the Federal Government, they belong to two different systems, and they do not have much in common.
At this time, Yan Weiming turned his head and said softly: "Special Envoy Wang, I heard that this high school martial arts competition is very important to the top, I don't know if you heard any rumors?"
Yan Weiming knows that the federal government has always attached great importance to the construction of martial arts teams and has supported the holding of various competitions, but the specifications of this high school martial arts competition are obviously beyond the level of high schools. Not only did he have to be present to watch and supervise the whole game, but he also sent an envoy from the Tiannan Prefecture Martial Arts Hall to participate in it. Apparently there must be a reason in it that he didn't know.
As officials in the same system, they are all familiar with each other, and when Yan Weiming asked, Wang Hong was not sloppy, and said softly: "I don't know the specifics, but I heard that this high school martial arts competition within the whole earth star is related to the Holy Land." ”
"Something to do with the Holy Land, really?" Yan Weiming couldn't help but gasp, he already vaguely felt that something big was about to happen, but he didn't expect it to have something to do with the Holy Land.
The Earth Star Sacred Land is a place that any martial artist yearns for, and was founded by the famous Tianyi Martial Saint two hundred years ago, specifically to train the top martial arts talents in the Federation. And the one who can enter the Holy Land to study is undoubtedly the genius with the best qualifications in the whole earth star.
In the past, the Holy Land conducted a talent selection every three years, and the selection targets were basically college students from colleges and universities, and there was no precedent for direct selection from high schools, so Yan Weiming did not think about this aspect. Now hearing Wang Hong say this, he immediately connected with the upcoming Holy Land selection.
Yan Weiming suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the federal government attached so much importance to this high school martial arts competition, as long as it was related to the selection of the Holy Land, they could not afford not to pay attention to it. At the same time, it also made Yan Weiming feel that his news was a little blocked, and he didn't know anything about such an important matter in advance. This made him secretly vigilant in his heart, the talents of the Busan Martial Arts Hall have withered over the years, and the trend that they already have in the Busan Martial Arts Hall, if it is not changed, it is likely that the Busan Martial Arts Hall will fall to the end. If he really wants to go that far, then he Yan Weiming is the sinner of the Busan City Martial Arts Association.
"I have an acquaintance in the Holy Land, and the news was revealed to me by him, so I can't be wrong. Therefore, it is more appropriate to call this high school competition the Holy Land Selection Qualifying Competition," Wang Hong looked at Yan Weiming and said with some pride. In addition to personal strength, a person's energy is also an important part of status and connections. Being the first to know what others don't know is energy. This old Yan was originally a little reserved in front of him, but now the eyes looking at him have completely changed, which makes Wang Hong very proud.
"Special Envoy Wang, how are the qualifications for the selection of this Holy Land determined, and are they ranked according to their ranking?" Yan Weiming asked softly. If it is just a simple high school martial arts competition, it will be a successful end to rank and divide a champion and runner-up, and this high school martial arts competition will obviously not be so simple.
"I don't know exactly what to do, but as far as I know, this qualifying tournament is not entirely based on rankings. In addition to the current strength, the individual's qualifications and potential are also important reference indicators," Wang said.
"This person's qualifications and potential are too broad, how to determine who will determine it? Will there be a situation where the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable?" Yan Weiming frowned. There's too much room for maneuver, but don't let a high school martial arts competition end miserably. If there is really something, they will not escape the blame.
"Hehe, Master Yan and relax, this matter has nothing to do with our martial arts hall, and the special personnel of our own holy land are in charge," Wang Hong said with a smile.
"Are the people from the Holy Land here?Why didn't you receive a notice from above, and you didn't see their figures?" Yan Weiming was taken aback, and hurriedly looked around, but there were 100,000 spectators in the gymnasium, and there were people in the Holy Land hiding in the crowd.
"Don't look for it, so many people, if they want to deliberately hide, they can find out, we just need to do our own thing" In fact, as soon as he entered the gymnasium, Wang Hong had already secretly observed, but there were too many people, looking at this like looking at that and looking at that, he couldn't be sure at all, so he had to go with him.
Yan Weiming nodded and said, "Special Envoy Wang is reasonable, but I don't know how many places we have in the Holy Land Selection in Busan City?"
"I really don't know this, how many people will be shortlisted for the Holy Land in the end, the selection is completely in the hands of the people in the Holy Land," Wang Hong shook his head and said, "Let's just make sure that the competition goes smoothly." ”
Yan Weiming nodded and stopped talking, focusing on the playing field in the center of the gymnasium. The draw for the contestants has ended, and the official competition is about to begin.
In a corner of the stand directly opposite the rostrum, two men and one woman stood holding hands. The three of them are not very old, probably only in their twenties and thirties, looking at the three of them, they are faintly dominated by the fresh and refined woman in the middle. Listening to the conversation of the three of them, I could only hear the young man on the left, who was about one hundred and eighty centimeters tall and had a smile on his face, said: "Senior Sister Su Yue, I heard that your younger brother Su Li is also a contestant in the Busan City Holy Land Selection Qualifying Competition, how is his strength?"
"I said Shen Lian, your news is too backward. Senior Sister Su Yue's younger brother still needs you to worry, but he is an ancient demon clan bloodline awakener, a junior high-level martial artist. Even if this strength is placed in our holy land, it is not the worst, and the Busan City Holy Land Selection Qualifier is not yet easy to catch" The woman surnamed Su did not answer, and the man on the right said with some yin and yang weirdness, and the contempt between the words was undoubted.
The young man called Shen Lian didn't seem to understand the contempt of the other man, and said with a smile on his face: "Really, that's really because I'm too lonely and unheard, it seems that there is basically no suspense about the championship of the Busan Holy Land Selection Qualifying Tournament." Senior Sister Su Yue, your Su family is really talented, first there is Senior Sister You awakened the bloodline of the ancient demon clan, and now you have your younger brother Su Li. ”
"Senior Brother Shen Lian has won the award, my brother is still far behind, Busan City is just a small place, even if he wins the championship, it won't mean anything" Su Yue smiled faintly, but he couldn't hide his pride between his words. For this younger brother, Su Yue was also extremely satisfied, and at the age of sixteen, she awakened the bloodline of the ancient demon clan, three years earlier than her. With her brother's strength, it is a matter of course to win the championship in the Busan Holy Land Selection Qualifying Tournament, and it is strange that she failed to win the championship.
"Senior Sister Su Yue, you are a native of Busan, and you know more about the situation in Busan High School. How many of the high school students in Busan City do you think will be selected for the Holy Land in the end?" asked Shen Lian.
Su Yue thought for a moment and said: "Although the conditions for the selection of the Holy Land this time have been relaxed compared with previous years, and the number of places has also increased, it is still too difficult for high school students, even my younger brother Su Li, I estimate that it would be good to have one or two people, and it is possible to be unlucky and not have one." ”
Listening to Su Yue's words, Shen Lian and the other man couldn't help but nodded, they had also entered the Holy Land through the Holy Land selection, so they naturally knew very well the difficulty of the Holy Land selection. In the past, the Holy Land selection was for college students, but this Holy Land selection gave high school students a chance, but it was just a chance, if you want to stand out in the competition with many college students, the so-called genius is not enough to see, only a peerless genius like Su Li has some hope.
That's just hope, and it's very likely that you'll be unlucky to meet the strong early and knock you out halfway. So what Su Yue said was still very pertinent, and she didn't think that the other party would be able to do it because Su Li was her younger brother.
