Chapter 44: The Beginning of the Contest

"This young man, why don't you go up to compete?" Just as Qiushui was looking at the new round of martial arts competition in the ring, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 He looked back and saw a guy with a sharp beak and a thief's eyebrows standing behind him, showing two long buckteeth and smiling at him.

"Are you ......?"

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet, but my dad wants me to be well-read and a university scholar when I grow up, so I got this name. ā€

When Qiushui heard this, he almost didn't laugh out loud, thinking to himself Tu Boshu, groundhog, this name really matches his looks. However, he replied politely on the surface: "In Xia Qiushui, all the people in this ring are strong in martial arts, and I don't go up to offer ugliness with my three-legged cat kung fu." ā€

"Where is it, I see that the sword worn by the young man's waist is introverted, the red light is faintly dispersed, and it is absolutely extraordinary. And those who are worthy of such weapons are by no means idle people. The scholar shook his head, thinking that Qiushui was deliberately modest.

Qiushui was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this guy to look greedy, but his eyes were so vicious. Presumably he took the initiative to talk to him, and it was also because of the relationship between the crucian carp and the Tiansha Divine Sword, so he had an extra heart at the moment.

Yan Boshu looked at Qiushui with a wary face, and hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, young man, although this sword is a good sword, it is useless to me. I just think that the young man has a good face, thinking that in this kind of place, there is always no harm in making more friends. ā€

Qiushui nodded, and also felt that there was some truth in what Yan Boshu said, after all, relying on parents at home and friends outside, this is an eternal truth. At this time, there was a handsome man in white who looked like a boy in the ring, flying out upside down and slamming into the crowd, looking quite embarrassed. Seeing this, several guards hurriedly lifted him up from the ground.

"The girl is very capable, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite the girl to dinner?" said the man in white, dusting off his body.

"If you have that ability, let's go and practice well. The Snow Maiden said lightly. The man was swept away in front of everyone, and his face suddenly became gloomy, and with a cold snort, he walked out of the door with a few guards.

"This snow girl in the ring is really powerful, I have only been in for half an hour, and I have already seen her defeat four opponents in a row. And in my opinion, the strength of those people is not weak. Qiushui sighed.

"That's not it. This Snow Maiden, who is only nineteen years old, has reached the peak of the cultivation of ice divine power, and is known as a once-in-a-century genius, which is comparable to the demon of the escort team. She is said to be the most contender to win the tournament. That's not the point, you look at the skin, you can blow it, the facial features, it's like carving, and the figure... Gee. Speaking of this, Yan Boshu swallowed his saliva, and then continued: "It's just that she has an indifferent personality and is difficult for ordinary people to approach, so everyone calls her Snow Maiden." ā€

Qiushui nodded, thinking that people who are good-looking and powerful will inevitably be a little self-contained and tall, and it is not easy to get along. At this time, Lin Lin came over and said to Qiushui: "Zhu Jue is hungry, why don't we go eat something first...... Hey, who is this?" she suddenly asked suspiciously when she saw the book next to Qiushui.

"Oh, this is my new friend named Groundhog...... No, it's Tu Boshu, the meaning of reading a wide range of books. Qiushui accidentally said that he leaked his mouth, and his face looked a little embarrassed. He coughed dryly, then turned to ask Yan Boshu, "Would you like to go eat something with us?"

Yan Boshu didn't care about it: "Okay, I just didn't have breakfast today, and I'm already hungry." ā€

So the four of them walked together towards the door. Just as he was about to leave the arena, Qiu Shui suddenly felt the Heavenly Demon Divine Sword on his waist tremble violently. He frowned slightly, and looked back, but saw that there was no one behind him, and there was no one.

"What's wrong?" In the blink of an eye, Zhu Jue and the others had already walked ten meters away, and when they saw Qiushui stopping, they immediately asked loudly.

"No, nothing. Qiushui glanced at Tiansha, and saw that it was quiet again at the moment, thinking that he was probably hallucinating just now, so he stopped worrying and trotted all the way to follow.

After Qiushui and the others walked away, from the side of the gate, a long-haired woman in gray clothes suddenly walked out, looking at the people in the distance indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "Is it my delusion, it's been more than a hundred years, how could that thing fall on him?"

In the next few days, in addition to going to the arena to watch the competition, the four of them also visited Rain City. In addition to the palace located in the center, all other corners, especially the streets and alleys of the business district, have left the footprints of Zhu Jue and others. I have to say that Yucheng is worthy of being the capital of a country, just from the perspective of food, it brings together fine dishes from all over the country, even if it is a lady like Lin Lin, there are many dishes that have not even heard of the name. In addition, all kinds of gold jewelry, rare ores, such as crystal jadeite, jade agate, and red rock produced by Lin Lin's family, are all carefully carved into gorgeous ornaments, which are sold here. As a girl, Lin Lin has no resistance to these. After a few days, the wallet had dried up a lot.

And in the process, Yan Boshu also gradually got acquainted with the other three people, and even lived in the same inn with them. At the same time, he also introduced some of his own situation to everyone, what was born into a famous family, he didn't like to study and ran away from home, wandered the world to kill demons, and now he wants to join the escort team to serve the country, etc., but he doesn't know how much truth there is.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the opening day of the competition is coming. On this day, Zhu Jue and others got up early, and Qiushui was so excited that he almost didn't sleep all night. Several people came to the arena with great interest, and found that the outside was already crowded with people, rubbing shoulders and bustling, all of whom were people who came to watch the event. Zhu Jue and the others, under the guidance of the guards, entered the hall from the small door. They walked through a winding corridor, through an outer pavilion, and finally stepped into the fabled inner pavilion.

"Wow, that's spectacular!" Zhu Jue exclaimed. I saw a wide square in front of me, a 50-meter-square ring was placed in the middle of the inner hall, and all around it was surrounded by rows of seats, spread out in a radial shape, from high to low, and it was somewhat similar to a large gymnasium. The seats in the front rows are particularly conspicuous, and they emit a golden glow under the illumination of the lights, which are used to receive VIPs at first glance.

Several of them sat down in their assigned seats and waited quietly for the tournament to begin. In the process, a stream of people poured in from all sides, and although the entire interior hall was huge and had thousands of seats, it still could not meet the huge demand. Later, even the stairs were densely packed with people, and there were even many people who were stopped outside by the guards because they were late. At this moment, the entire inner hall was full of people, and from time to time some people looked at the players' seats here, and there were many discussions.

Zhu Jue was not used to being noticed like this, and felt uncomfortable for a while. Qiushui looked left and right, but at a glance he saw the Snow Maiden not far away, and he couldn't take his eyes off it. When Lin Lin saw Qiushui's soulless appearance, a nameless fire suddenly surged up from her heart, but she couldn't vent it, so she had to close her eyes. Yan Boshu enjoyed such a scene very much, leaning on the back of the chair there, crossing Erlang's legs, looking comfortable. Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of a gray-clad girl.

"Hey, it's so cold. He muttered, and was about to take a closer look, when suddenly there was a warm cheer in his ears, and the entire inner hall was boiling at this moment.

Looking along the line of sight, I saw a secret door slowly opening next to the ring. Immediately afterwards, dozens of men and women wearing blue uniforms and wearing the badge of the Rain Country on their chests ran out of the dark passage and stood in two columns under the gaze of everyone, looking very majestic. And Chen Min, who met that day, is standing at the front of the team at the moment.

"Wow, this is the Rain City Guard!"

"It's amazing, this momentum alone is different from ordinary people. ā€

All of a sudden, there were voices of discussion and admiration. In the middle of the queue, several gorgeously dressed dignitaries walked out and took their seats in the designated positions in the front row. And the last person to appear was to make the whole stadium stand up at the same time, raise their arms and shout.

"Long live the Rain Emperor!"
