Chapter 17 What is Martial Arts?
Because of Liu Pan's admission of defeat, the new disciple competition meeting was also directly announced. The final ranking of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was confirmed as the first place Ye Ming, the second place Liu Ma, and the third place Liu Pan.
All three of them have the opportunity to enter the Zongmen Gongfa Building to choose an exercise for free. As for the first place, there is an additional reward, which is a barrier-breaking pill, which is an elixir that can help a cultivator of the ninth order of martial arts to break through to the martial disciple realm.
For Liu Mad, the Barrier Breaking Pill is completely dispensable. With Yan guiding his cultivation, it was not difficult for him to break through to the Martial Disciple Realm.
In Liu Pan's book, Liu Mad won the first place in the new disciple competition, but he did not take this elixir, but broke through to the martial apprentice realm under the guidance of Yan.
As for Liu Pan, he doesn't look down on this barrier-breaking pill at all. After all, as an extremely cold body, if even the level of a mere martial artist of the ninth order had to rely on pills to break through, then he would not need to cultivate martial arts at all.
As soon as the new introductory disciple competition was announced, a sturdy middle-aged man in his thirties sitting on the left side of Yang Jiangshui in the stands stood up.
"Everyone," the middle-aged man's voice was like thunder, and almost instantly suppressed all the voices in the square. And of course, this sound also attracted the attention of everyone in the square at the same time.
After sweeping around, seeing that the eyes of almost all the people in the square were gathered, the middle-aged man paused slightly, and then continued: "The new disciple competition has ended, and now, all the outer disciples are re-arranged. ”
The new disciples were stunned when they heard this, while the old disciples' eyes flashed slightly.
Without explaining anything, the middle-aged man sat back down at his table after speaking, and then picked up a list from the stone table in front of him and handed it to a young disciple behind him.
The young disciple respectfully glanced at the list of results, and then took two steps forward and read it out directly:
"According to the comprehensive evaluation of the results of the competition of the new initiation disciples and the results of the competition of the old disciples half a month ago, the current outer disciples are ranked with the following peaks and lists. ”
"First of all, male disciples. List of disciples living in Peak 9, Ye Ming, Zhao Chang, Liu Ma, Liu Pan, Jackal...... Twenty people in total. ”
"List of disciples living in No. 9 Peak, Zhao Fei, Yang Zijiang, Li Dan...... Forty people in total. ”
"List of Resident Disciples of Peak 10...... Seventy in all. ”
"List of Resident Disciples of Peak Eleventh...... A total of one hundred and two. ”
"List of Resident Disciples of Peak Twelve...... A total of one hundred and sixty people. ”
"List of Thirteenth Peak Resident Disciples...... A total of 213 people. ”
"The rest of the male disciples who didn't read their names are all people who have cultivated to the realm of martial apprentices, living in the eighth peak, and the list of disciples is ...... A total of 16 people. “
"Female disciples. List of Resident Disciples of Peak No. 6...... Thirty-four in total. ”
"List of Disciples Living in Peak No. 7...... Seventy-three people in total. ”
The list was read out. After the young disciple finished speaking, he put the list back on the table with both hands, and then bowed to the sect master and several elders before retreating.
As the young man finished reading out, the entire square was boiling in an instant, or rather, it should be said that the new disciples were boiling, and the old disciples were still silent.
"What's going on? What's going on with this mountain?"
"You ask me, how do I know? Oh my God! I'm ranked at Peak Twelve, one hundred and sixty people, how can I live here? That house is already ...... less."
"You're a fart! Labor and management have been ranked to the thirteenth peak, more than 300 people! Not to mention the house, even the eaves are not enough to sleep ......."
"I protest, why was my martial artist eighth-order cultivator arranged to be assigned to the thirteenth peak......"
"I also protest against ......"
............
The whole square was in a state of drench. Many disciples complained, and many disciples protested......
"Quiet!"
Just when the many disciples were in a lot of noise, a thunderous sound sounded, and at the same time, an invisible coercion also came down from the stands.
In an instant, many disciples were silent, and there was no more noise in the entire square.
The stout man got up, glanced at the silent crowd in the square, and then spoke, "The list of people who are ranked are based on your performance in the entrance competition. Some people think this list is unfair, saying why my cultivation is relatively high, but I am ranked at peak 12 or 13. Then I'll tell you right now, the list of mountains in this row is only based on your performance in the competition, and it has nothing to do with the level of cultivation!"
All the new disciples were silent when they heard this, however, the silence was only for a moment, and there were always some existences who were "not afraid of death".
"I protest!"
An abrupt voice stunned everyone, and then everyone turned their heads to look at the person who spoke out in disbelief.
This is a man dressed in brocade, with a fair face, even if the coercion from the high platform has made him tremble and sweat on his forehead, but he can still see a pride between his eyebrows. Come to think of it, this man must be a person who lives with his eyes on the top of his head on weekdays.
As if he didn't expect that someone would dare to protest under his own coercion, the strong man suddenly raised his eyebrows, and turned his eyes with some curiosity. However, in just an instant, the curiosity in his eyes disappeared without a trace, and he said lightly: "Tell me, what is your name?
"Elder Hui, the disciple's name is Zhao Fei, and he was ranked at the ninth peak. What I protest against is that Liu Pan has been ranked to the eighth peak!" Zhao Fei wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "The elder said before that the list of mountains is ranked according to our performance in the beginner disciple competition, and for the other disciples, the disciples have no objections, but for Liu Pan, although he won the third place in this competition, he directly admitted defeat in the last two competitions, which is completely contrary to the indomitable spirit of martial arts, so what qualifications does he have to rank in the eighth peak!"
As soon as Zhao Fei's words came out, it immediately caused a lot of discussion in the square. And this time, not only the new disciples, but also many of the old disciples bowed their heads and discussed, obviously they also felt that Liu Pan's ranking in the eighth peak was a bit unreasonable.
However, for Zhao Fei's objections, the strong man didn't seem to take it to heart at all. Looking down at the roster on the table, the stout man frowned slightly in an instant, and he also understood why the others did not protest against Liu Pan's entry into the eighth peak, but only this Zhao Fei protested.
Protesting naturally has a purpose, after all, no one will offend a person for no reason, let alone offend a person like Liu Pan, who has entered the top three of the new disciples.
And the reason why Zhao Fei protested was that on the surface, he probably really felt that Liu Pan was ranked in the eighth peak was a little unreasonable. But in fact, the reason for Zhao Fei's protest was that he was dissatisfied with his own ranking in the ninth peak.
On the list, Zhao Fei was the first person to be ranked into the ninth peak, and once a person like Liu Pan, who violated the indomitable spirit of martial arts, was expelled from the eighth peak, it was very likely that he would be ranked into the eighth peak. And this is the real reason why Zhao Fei protested.
"I can explain to you your protest. The stout man looked at Zhao Fei, and then said, "However, I want to remind you before I explain. Just now, your name has been drawn from Peak Nine to Peak Thirteen. ”
The strong man's voice was very calm, but after understanding the meaning of the words, Zhao Fei's face changed instantly, and his whole body suddenly failed to withstand the coercion from the high platform, and he sat down on the ground.
As for the others, when they heard that Zhao Fei just protested, he was directly assigned to the thirteenth peak, and he suddenly tensed up, and he didn't dare to talk about it again.
Ignoring Zhao Fei, the sturdy man raised his eyes and swept around, and then said, "I know that many of you are wondering why Liu Pan was ranked in the eighth peak. Now, then, I will tell you. ”
"What is martial arts?" inexplicably, the stout man asked such a sentence.
However, there was no answer, and everyone was silent.
"I believe that all of you know that martial arts is unstoppable. However......" The sturdy man said this, his words paused slightly, and he raised his eyes to sweep everyone again, and then continued: "You all know that martial arts are unstoppable, but who among you really understands what martial arts are?"
“......”
No one spoke up, and even many people felt a little inexplicable at this moment. Isn't martial arts just indomitable? Isn't this really martial arts?
"It's true that martial arts is indomitable, but indomitable shouldn't be blind. The sturdy man's eyes glanced at Liu Pan, and then looked at everyone: "For Liu Pan, why can he still be ranked in the ninth peak when he admits defeat in the last two competitions? That's because ...... He knows better than any of you what martial arts are!"
As soon as these words came out, many people were shocked, and suddenly looked up in the direction of Liu Pan, and even Zhao Fei, who was sitting on the ground, was stunned and looked in the direction where Liu Pan was.
The coercion emanating from the stands is still there, however, at this moment, it seems that many people can't feel it, they just look at Liu Pan in a daze, and even forget to tremble in their bodies.
Seeing the reactions of the disciples in the square, the strong man was not surprised, and a faint essence suddenly flashed in the depths of his eyes: "Do you think that admitting defeat in the last two competitions is because he is afraid, or because he feels that his strength is not enough?"
"Perhaps, some of you really think so, but I'll tell you the truth! The reason why he conceded defeat was not because he was afraid, nor because he felt that his strength was not enough, but because his purpose was just to get into the top three of the competition, and that's it. ”
"Martial arts should be indomitable, but it should also have a purpose and direction! And Liu Pan, the moment he admitted defeat, he had already shown that he knew martial arts more than any of you!"
"As for this conclusion, it is the judgment of the sect master and all our elders......"
