Jiang Ling secretly helped, and at the critical moment, he cast the Nine Turns of Flame and finally helped the sword idiot complete the sword casting when a stick of incense was about to burn out.

The four elders saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts, and secretly praised Jiang Ling for being decisive, the purpose of the first competition was not to let the players really cast swords at all, and in the time of a stick of incense, even if the players in the platinum group followed the rules and cast swords according to the requirements, they might not be able to complete it, let alone the players in the gold group, they couldn't finish it at all.

In fact, the meaning of the four elders is to let the contestants use their brains more and test their adaptability when they are unable to perform tasks in a normal way.

The game tacitly allows players to use additional substances and borrow external forces.

At the end of the first adaptability competition, only a dozen people remained on the field. In a competition of thousands of people, only these dozen people were promoted in the end, and the result was really unexpected.

The sword idiot's tense nerves relaxed, and he sighed slightly, his face showing joy: "Thanks to the master's assistance, I finally made the cut." ”

After the first competition, the Martial God Academy announced the content of the second competition in the afternoon: the ring match.

In the ring match, the platinum group players stand in the ring to meet the challenge, and the gold group players come to the stage to challenge, if the gold group players win the direct promotion, if the platinum group wins three sets in a row and then accepts one against three, the winner will advance directly.

The list was announced, and in the first adaptability competition, the brass group was wiped out, and no one advanced, and the gold group was promoted to fifteen people.

There were a total of five players in the platinum group who took on the challenge, and in addition to the respective apprentices of the four elders, there was one who surprised everyone.

Lin Jiang, a name that had never appeared in previous competitions, appeared in the platinum group.

The crowd was talking, speculating about who this Lin Jiang was, who could actually be ranked in the platinum group alongside the four elders' respective big apprentices.

"I heard that Lin Jiang is amazing, not only was he appointed by the King of Yue to be a mighty general, who was responsible for escorting Princess Ling Yao into Chu, but also directly skipped the first round of the competition. ”

"I met Lin Jiang, a sixteen-year-old boy, when he was eating at Chunmanlou that day, he also taught the ruffian black charcoal a hard lesson. ”

"I also heard that when I signed up that day, Elder Niu Li, who had always been serious, was also polite to Lin Jiang, quite a mysterious young man. ”

"It's just that he is too young, let him escort Princess Ling Yao, I'm afraid he will be robbed by barbarian bandits before he enters Chu State. ”

"In the afternoon game, Lin Jiang is going to play, and when the time comes, I will see how good this Lin Jiang is. ”

Jiang Ling walked in the crowd and ignored these comments, he once said that he would win the championship by strength, his words must be done, his deeds must be fruitful, and he must do his best to do what a man says.

He took a closer look at the morning competition, and the golden players who were promoted were not very strong, so he didn't care too much, and his target was on the big apprentices of the four elders who were highly praised by the people.

Of the four elders' respective big apprentices, Jiang Ling had seen two, the first was Elder Xuanfeng's big apprentice Tie Tou, and the second was the black-faced strong man Black Hammer who had formed a beam in Chunmanlou.

The iron head alone has the triple strength of the Earth Spirit Mirror, and Jiang Ling estimates that the strength of the other three is not low, and it will definitely not be lower than the Earth Spirit Mirror if they can enter the platinum group.

After the game, Jiang Ling kept looking for the sword idiot, and after looking for a while, he finally found the sword idiot in the tavern.

"Brother Sword Idiot, why are you drinking alone and have something on your mind?" Jiang Ling saw that the wine table was full of empty jars, and guessed that the sword idiot must have drunk a lot of wine.

When the sword idiot saw Jiang Ling coming, he put down the wine jar and smiled, and said, "Little brother Lin Jiang, are you ready for the challenge in the afternoon ring match?"

The sword idiot knew that Lin Jiang had been assigned to the platinum group, so he specially greeted him.

Jiang Ling replied lightly: "The strength of the finalists in the gold group is average, I'm not worried, it's mainly because of the four elders' respective big apprentices, it's a bit troublesome." ”

The sword idiot was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Elder Xuanfeng's eldest apprentice is full of brute strength and strong physique, but he has always been fair, Elder Niu Li's eldest apprentice, Black Hammer, Wu Guoren, relying on family power, is very domineering, tall and thin elder and apprentice little scholar, polite and polite, short and fat elder and big apprentice butcher, cunning and changeable, these are their basic situation." ”

After listening to the analysis of the sword idiot, Jiang Ling knew that the black-faced strong man who had formed a beam in Chunmanlou at that time was the apprentice of Elder Niu Li.

"Hmph! Jiang Ling remembered what he said in Chunmanlou, and his fighting spirit suddenly rose.

The sword idiot seems to have something unspeakable, and he drinks hard and is unhappy.

Jiang Ling noticed the change in the sword idiot's psychology and asked, "Brother Sword Idiot, do you have something to know?" I guess it should be the fire eagle that appeared in the sky in the morning that made you unsettled. ”

The sword idiot stared at Jiang Ling as if he had seen a ghost, looked up and down, and said in surprise: "Lin Jiang, how do you know that I am worried about the matter of the fire eagle in the morning?"

Jiang Ling naturally wouldn't say to the sword idiot that he was using the Nine Turns of Flame to help the sword idiot complete the sword casting, he picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "Fire Eagle, I'm afraid the entire audience has seen it, and it's not strange that I know." ”

The sword idiot thought that this Fire Eagle was related to Jiang Ling, and after getting such an answer, he continued to drink, and said helplessly: "I know my strength, if I don't have the help of that Fire Eagle, I will definitely not be able to pass the competition, it is a fluke." ”

"Hey, in the afternoon ring match, I didn't have such good luck. ”

The sword idiot sighed three times in a row.

Jiang Ling looked at the sword idiot, a little melancholy, and remembered that if it hadn't been for the sword idiot's eldest brother who saved him that day, he would have drowned in the Xuanshui River a long time ago, and it would be impossible for him to sit in the tavern and drink.

He knew that the sword idiot was crazy about swords, and he wanted to help the sword idiot.

The sword idiot has been born in the Southern Spirit Domain since he was a child, and he has always set up his ambition to work hard for the South Spirit Domain to get rid of the Yue Kingdom, but there is a younger sister at home who can't bear to leave.

Later, with the help of Jiang Ling, he was rewarded with a large sum of money by King Yue, so he made up his mind to settle his sister Heya and sell the sword casting workshop to participate in the martial arts competition of the Martial God Academy, hoping to obtain an official and a half position to guard the frontier for the Southern Spirit Domain.

In order to obtain a higher evaluation, he spent money to buy precious pills and forcibly improved his strength before he was assigned to the gold group.

However, he knew how many pounds and taels he had, and he was worried about the next competition.

Jiang Ling whispered into the sword idiot's ear. The sword idiot's eyes lit up, and he was interested.

"Have you really entered the Flame Tower?" the sword idiot looked at Jiang Ling in disbelief.

Jiang Ling didn't hide it either, and 1510 told Elder Diqing about it in detail, and handed over the first three moves of the Haiyuan Sword to the sword idiot.

The sword idiot was overjoyed and hugged his fists to thank him.

Time passed quietly, and it was afternoon in the blink of an eye.

The sword casting furnace in the martial arts arena of the Martial God Temple was all removed, and it was replaced by five large rings, which were fifteen meters long and wide.

A person walked over in front of him, the black hammer raised his head, walked into Jiang Ling with a heavy sword on his back triumphantly, glared at him, and sneered: "Boy, I didn't expect you to have the courage to participate?"

The afternoon wind was hot on the face and the sky was cloudless.

The audience was constantly calling, the three monarchs had already sat on the most important audience platform, Princess Ling Yao's face was ruddy, and when she saw Jiang Ling's name in the list announced by the Martial God Academy, the stone in her heart finally fell.

"Captain Ironhead, you're the best!"

"No, butchers and scholars are not bad, they are more likely to win. ”

"Support Black Hammer to win. ”

The captain of the iron head is from the Yue country, and the voice he gets is the highest, the black hammer is from the Wu country, and the calls he gets are basically people who have traveled thousands of miles from the country of Wu to watch, and the butcher and scholar are from Zheng Guo, and the call is not low.

Only no one called for Lin Jiang.

The Black Hammer waved his fist defiantly and demonstrated: "You see, no one supports you, you are doomed." ”

Jiang Ling gritted his teeth, blew out a breath, and said disdainfully, "Really?"

Jiang Ling turned his head, waved his hand at King Yue and Princess Ling Yao in the audience, and shouted, "The champion is mine." ”

King Yue laughed with undoubted belief and ordered: "The people of Yue Kingdom cheer for the mighty general." ”

As soon as King Yue spoke, the audience shouted Lin Jiang loudly. Princess Ling Yao even took off her veil, revealing her alluring appearance and cheering for Jiang Ling.

Princess Ling Yao waved her hand and responded to Jiang Ling, which immediately caused a sensation, whether it was the Yue people or the people of the other two countries, they all turned to support Jiang Ling, and shouted vigorously: "Lin Jiang will win!"

King Wu and King Zheng stared blankly at Jiang Ling, who was about sixteen years old on the field, and couldn't understand why this young man had a deep friendship with King Yue and Princess Ling Yao.

Elder Xuanfeng squinted, carried the wine jug, and remained silent, and the other three elders were also silent.

The black hammer stretched his face, his face was pale, and he couldn't see the cyan, it was too black, like coal, he didn't expect the momentum to reverse, he really lifted a stone and hit his own feet.

"Wait and see! I will definitely let you know what strength is and teach you to be a good man. ”

Jiang Ling waved the Bloodthirsty Nether Sword and said sharply, "Accompany you at any time!"

Jiang Ling ascended to the challenge platform, and the first one to come up to challenge was a yellow-level mid-level swordsmith.

The swordsmith was menacing, raised the white sword in his hand, poured spiritual energy, roared for a while, and accelerated towards Jiang Ling, with a great determination to defeat the other party.

Jiang Ling was not in a hurry, counted the other party's steps, and whispered: "Since you want to defeat me with one move, then I will not show mercy." ”

At the moment when the sword blade was about to stab Jiang Ling's chest, Jiang Ling mobilized his aura and opened the ghost shadow trace step with all his strength, avoiding the sword blade as fast as lightning, and then his body flashed and reached behind the swordsmith.

"Peng!"

Jiang Ling kicked heavily on the swordsmith's back and kicked directly out of the ring.

The swordsmith didn't understand how the other party ran behind him until he fell to the ground, and the speed was so fast that he was kicked away before he could put away his sword.

"What a fast pace, a strange pace. ”

"Lin Jiang will win. ”

The audience stared at what had just happened in the blink of an eye, and they were all shocked by Jiang Ling's quick and lightning reaction.

The envoy of the State of Chu was even more surprised, he recognized that the one standing in the ring was the arrogant young man who was angry with him in the palace of King Yue that day.
