Chapter 39: The Competition
Li Fan naturally wants to take this opportunity to stand out, if he can be ranked in the top fifty, then Zhao Yi's juniors and disciples will at least not come to trouble again, and they will be able to be peaceful for a while.
At the bottom of the martial arts arena, many people were talking, and some even took the initiative to find Li Fan to talk, most of them just wanted to listen to the reality and have a good way to deal with it.
Not long after, a team of people and horses came from a distance, and a sedan chair was surrounded by countless armor soldiers.
Then someone shouted, "Your Excellency Prime Minister has arrived!"
Immediately in awe, Li Fan was even more surprised, he didn't expect that such a newcomer selection prime minister would actually come in person! Li Fan clenched his fists, and his mind turned sharply.
"It's really unexpected, I actually met Yan Chihou so quickly. Li Fan sighed in his heart, he was not as excited as others, and he was more worried in his heart.
Sun Yu laughed and said, "It seems that this competition is very important, even the prime minister has come in person!"
And Li Fan didn't care about this, his eyes stared at the sedan chair, at this time two teams of soldiers quickly ran in from the gate, and then stood on both sides of the aisle, more than a dozen soldiers carried a sedan chair and walked in steadily and then stopped under the ring, countless generals accompanied by the left and right, at this time another sedan chair followed closely in, and someone shouted: "The hall master has arrived!"
The sedan chair came in and stopped on the left.
And Li Fan's eyes were staring at Yan Chihou's sedan chair, at this time the sedan chair opened, and a man walked out of it, with thick hair like a lion's head, his face full of stubble and tiger eyes, he took a step out of the sedan chair in a black robe, without any expression on his face but not angry and arrogant.
And out of the sedan chair on the left is also a middle-aged man, named Wei Yuan, he looks kind with a smile on his face, but because of this, it would be a big mistake to think that he is an amiable person, this person was ruthless to the enemy when he was conquering the territory, and he was a well-known smiling tiger.
Wei Yuan stood respectfully behind the prime minister and said to everyone: "The prime minister personally came to review this competition, which is enough to see that the prime minister attaches great importance to you, you have to behave well." ”
At this time, the prime minister had already walked towards the upper position, and he inspected the place for a week with an expressionless face, sitting on the seat.
I don't know who suddenly knelt down, and then everyone knelt down, Sun Yu was clever and quickly held down Li Fan and Ding Yu with both hands and knelt down.
Li Fan had only forbearance, and everyone shouted for Prime Minister Chitose, and only stood up again after a while.
At this moment, the high platform is already full of people, the first ten seats are the ten tigers of the inner hall, they are the judges, there are only two people sitting on the back floor, the middle is the prime minister, and the right side is Wei Yuan, the master of the martial hall.
At this time, someone is explaining the requirements and precautions for the competition, and one side admits defeat or falls into the ring is considered a loss, and the competition is arranged according to the list of last night's statistics.
As for whether it's fair or not, no one knows, but everyone is a congenital martial artist after they come in, and there is nothing unfair in this one-on-one situation.
Li Fan's eyes kept staring at Yan Chihou, he wanted to know what kind of cultivation Yan Chihou was, and at the same time, he looked at Wei Yuan again, and withdrew his gaze with a cursory glance.
Ding Yu looked at Li Fan and said, "Do you think you can be in the top ten?"
Li Fan shook his head: "Didn't I say it? How can someone like me who walks through the back door enter the top ten." ”
Li Fan then sighed again, then patted Sun Yu's shoulder and said, "You better come on, I won't waste my strength." ”
Even if Li Fan has that strength, he won't fight for it, if the light is too dazzling, he will be noticed by Yan Chihou, and if this old fox finds out to Muyang Town, he will inevitably be suspicious.
In the ring, a soldier in a black armor begins to read the names one by one, and the person who is read takes the initiative to enter the field, and a match is limited to ten minutes, and even if the fight is not finished, the winner will be selected by ten judges.
And there is no rematch in the whole competition, which means that everyone only competes in one game, and the judges have a ten-minute vision to select the seeded players who are eligible to challenge the top 50 in the outer court.
The competition began soon, everyone was a congenital martial artist, the competition was skill, some people practiced strong martial arts, and had the upper hand in the battle, the opponent was infinitely suppressed for three minutes, and the judges immediately stopped.
Li Fan also paid attention to the game while standing in the audience, thinking about who he would meet and how to get out of the game.
Li Fan glanced sideways slightly, and found that someone had been watching him, this person was wearing a red robe, and when he saw that Li Fan had also looked over, he actually stretched out his thumb to make a gesture of contempt.
"Idiot. Li Fan snorted coldly.
As soon as the martial artist stepped down, suddenly, the soldier shouted at the top of his voice.
"Long Fan!" "Tianheng!"
Li Fan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect it to be his turn so soon, his eyes looked at the crowd, and once again met the red-robed man's eyes, since the cafeteria, this man was very interested in Li Fan.
I saw him walking towards Li Fan, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly and said, "Don't disappoint me." After finishing speaking, he jumped into the ring, looking down on Li Fan.
"It turns out that you are Tianheng. Li Fan frowned, isn't this a clear black-box operation? Why did he meet him, it would never be such a coincidence.
Li Fan jumped on the stage, his face was expressionless, his eyes were not looking at Tianheng but Zhao Yi, and at this moment, Zhao Yi was also staring at Li Fan, the corners of his mouth showed disdain.
Tianheng squeezed out two words from his mouth: "Teach." ”
The game has already begun, and he rushes straight ahead.
Li Fan was very entangled in his heart, he was thinking about whether to defeat him or not, this person should also be regarded as the right-hand man of Dean Chu's junior disciple, his martial arts skills must not be weak, after defeating him, I am afraid that Zhao Yi will be stared at, and even Yan Chihou will notice.
Sure enough, the first collision, you can see Tianheng's sense of battle, the first move is he is testing, every action can be advanced or retreated, and the power used is very small, to test whether Li Fan is good at dodging or making moves.
Judging from this judgment, he has surpassed many people, maybe he may squeeze into the top ten, Li Fan smiled bitterly in his heart, this time he must be defeated as soon as possible, and if he admits defeat after a long time, he will be suspected of deliberately releasing water.
After Li Fan made a decision in his heart, he began to be serious, and the two of them collided quickly with their fists and feet in the ring, and several punches Li Fan deliberately released water to let him punch his fist in an inconsequential part, and then retreated towards the edge of the ring to find the right time to retreat.
Sure enough, the opponent is also a person who will find the right time, he saw Li Fan retreating, and immediately chased after him, the offensive was getting faster and faster, and the pace was almost close to Li Fan's footprints, he guarded Li Fan around him firmly, and there was no way to dodge on the left and right sides.
Li Fan was also happy to do so, his brows were furrowed, his hand speed slowed down, and he was hit in the chest by Tianheng's punch, and fell heavily under the ring, Li Fan exhaled, thinking that this was the end, who knew that Tianheng grabbed Li Fan's arm and dragged him up directly.
Li Fan stood in the ring and was furious in his heart: "Ya, Lao Tzu let you win, what else do you want to do!"
At this time, Tianheng smiled and said: "I thought you were so powerful! It turned out that you were so bad, it was really a waste of my mind, since this is the case, then I will cripple you!"
Tianheng took a step with his right foot, his hands swinging up and down, and the phantom of the fire leopard actually appeared behind him, looking at the posture to be a killer move.
Li Fan hurriedly shouted to the soldiers in the distance: "I admit defeat!"
The corners of Tianheng's mouth showed disdain, and he rushed over: "You coward!
Tian Heng rushed over with the leopard phantom, his fist swung forward, and the leopard immediately opened his bloody mouth, but the fist was suddenly clenched by others, and the leopard phantom immediately dispersed, and in front of him was a soldier with a stomach, he looked at Tian Heng coldly and said, "He has admitted defeat." ”
Although Li Fan admitted defeat, his face was not pale at all, obviously he was not afraid, he couldn't pretend if he wanted to, so he could only jump off the stage immediately and hide in the crowd.
Tianheng waved his hand, stepped off the stage, and said angrily: "What a waste of time, it's not a pleasure at all, garbage!"
Li Fan was already expressionless, as indifferent as water, even if he heard this arrogant voice, even if the people around him had strange eyes, Li Fan still didn't care.
Sun Yu leaned over and frowned and said, "Is he very strong?"
Li Fan could only nod, in fact, he was indeed very strong, and it was difficult to really fight with him, but this game was very short-lived, and Li Fan stepped down directly in two minutes, still admitting defeat, and even in the eyes of outsiders, after being knocked down by others, he was kindly pulled up, and he actually lost.
The people around him began to gossip, but Li Fan turned a deaf ear.
Finally, it was Sun Yu's turn again, and the opponent was actually Tianheng's junior brother, Tian Chong, which was obviously arranged in advance.
However, after a game, Tianchong still lost to Sun Yu, and soon after it was Ding Yu's turn to play, Li Fan closed his eyes and knew that it would be that woman, sure enough, her opponent was the woman next to Tianheng, called Tianyin, she and Ding Yu are also a rare women's duel, it is said that there are only ten women in the martial arts, and Ding Yu and Tianyin are the only two new women, the duel between the two of them naturally attracts attention, but it is difficult to see the difference!
In the end, the judges called a stop, as for who won and who lost, the result would be a tie, which was also shocking, Prime Minister Yan Chihou also stood up and puffed up for this, saying that women don't let the eyebrows be bearded, and they are really heroes among women.
Ding Yu returned to the same place, she saw Li Fan looking at Yan Chihou with anger in his eyes, thinking that Li Fan was angry, so she comforted in a low voice: "As you said, this is just an ordinary game, the road ahead is very long, maybe one day ten Tianheng will not be your opponent?"
Li Fan was slightly stunned, because she saw Ding Yu sighing, I don't know why, my intuition told him that this sigh was related to him.
