[Hmph, look at Lord Ning Hao since he came to the martial arts arena, he hasn't said a word. Those who don't know the inside story may not understand, but those who know the inside story know that the county lord Ning Hao wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the three-city martial arts competition this time, and then use the power of Blackwater City to suppress Tianyu City. 】

On the viewing platform outside the martial arts arena, a group of middle-aged martial artists in rough clothes gathered together, and their eyes were fixed on the direction where Ning Hao, the county lord of Brahma County, was sitting upright at the moment, and there was no respect in their words.

[Brother Zhang is right, in the previous three-city martial arts competitions, the organizers of Brahma County evenly distributed the number of matches and opponents according to the strength of the contestants in the major cities, but this year is very unusual, to put it bluntly, it is a game deliberately set up by Brahma County, so that Blackwater City can face the people of Tianyu City in the first round of the competition. 】

Halfway through the words, the speaker paused in his tone, turned to look at Brother Zhang, who had spoken out earlier, and then continued: [As long as according to the arrangement of Brahma County, the people of Blackwater City should chase and intercept the contestants of Tianyu City in the first round of the competition, and it is impossible for the people of Tianyu City to advance to the second round of the competition. If this goal is achieved, as soon as the county lord of Ning Hao comes, he can support Blackwater City to become bigger and stronger, and he no longer has to worry about the views of the forces in Brahma County that still have some friendship with Tianyu City. After all, although Tianyu City dominated one side in the early years, but the younger generation now has no successor, if the county lord Ning Hao really moved Tianyu City, it would be easy to move, and no one dared to say anything. You must know that the earth is connected to the continent and martial arts is respected, and in the sphere of influence of Brahma County, as long as Lord Ning Hao can eradicate the disobedient Tianyu City, then he can be regarded as a true earth emperor in the entire county boundary. 】

[Shhh, you scheming fool, just know this kind of thing in your heart, but don't dare to say it casually. 】

Everyone was listening energetically, but Brother Zhang kicked the man who spoke coldly, and reminded, [This is more than the people in the martial arts field, even if we support Tianyu City again, you can't say bad things about the county lord so blatantly, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth. 】

Hurriedly made a silent action, and the middle-aged martial artist who was called Brother Zhang muttered: [It's just that Brahma County and Blackwater City are probably miscalculated this time, although Tianyu City has declined a little over the years, but I see that the younger generation of martial artists in Tianyu City have performed very well in the few battles they have just participated in. Especially Han Yixin, the daughter of the city lord of Tianyu City, and the Yin Yao girl of the Yin family, they are really women who don't let their eyebrows go. 】

His eyes lingered on Xuan Yue, who was unable to play in the first round of the game, and Brother Zhang sighed and said uncertainly: [Shang Yang of Blackwater City and Flame City Lieyan, which we are optimistic about, both have the talent to win the championship, and looking at Tianyu City, I am afraid that only the Xuan Yue who has never made a shot can compete with it. 】

At this point, Brother Zhang suddenly sighed, as if he was a little regretful.

Seeing Brother Zhang's reaction like this, the person who spoke earlier hurriedly asked: [Brother Zhang, are you worried that the young man from Tianyu City who won the blank lottery will be the opponent of Shang Yang of Blackwater City and Flame City Lieyan? In my opinion, although that kid was directly promoted in the first round and did not participate in the competition, he was the Tianjiao of the upper grade tenth-level spirit root in the spirit testing stage, and he grabbed the blank sign in one fell swoop by virtue of his strength, and his strength cultivation should not be bad! I'm still very optimistic about that boy. 】

[That's right, but I'm still a little worried, after all, he is a member of the Tianyu City Xuan family. If I'm not mistaken, the Xuan family of Tianyu City has been absent from the Three Cities Martial Arts Competition for several consecutive sessions, and it is rare that the Xuan Family has an outstanding young generation qualified to participate in the conference competition this time, but if he wants to win the championship in one fell swoop, this is probably still a little difficult, even if he is a cultivation talent of the top tenth-level spiritual root. 】

At this point, Brother Zhang stopped talking, and everyone who heard this suddenly fell silent.

For the Xuan family in Tianyu City, everyone is no stranger, and the people of the Xuan family will definitely be the favorite to win the championship in this grand event ten years ago. But since the accident in the Ghost Mansion Realm ten years ago, this family has suffered a lot of vitality, and there have never been any outstanding young disciples.

At this point in the conversation, the last game on the martial arts field has kicked off, and when everyone is watching and watching, the two contestants on the field are very indifferent.

The two contestants who represented Flame City this time were Qu Defei, who was a topper-grade eighth-level spiritual root, and Zhao Guangfu, who only had a top-grade seventh-level spiritual root.

Looking at the two people standing on the stage who had no intention of making a move, Xuan Yue knew that this was a competition without suspense, and the winning side would definitely be Qu Defei.

As for Zhao Guangfu, although his strength is not weak, his cultivation is still a cut below Qu Defei after all.

What's more, both of them belong to the contestants of the forces of Flame City, and they can be said to have the same root and origin, and if the two really fight desperately in the martial arts arena, it will be simply cannibalism.

There was a lot of discussion on the martial arts field just now, and this was what they were talking about, and in the face of such an embarrassing situation, Qu Defei and Zhao Guangfu's faces were very bitter and helpless.

Just when the crowd was ready to watch the battle, Zhao Guangfu, who was slightly weaker, suddenly made an astonishing move, and everyone saw that he untied the weapon on his body, and threw it in front of him with a bang.

[I abstain and admit defeat!] 】

Looking at his move, even Qu Defei, who was also a player in Flame City, was slightly stunned and said in surprise: [Guangfu, what are you——? 】

[Senior Brother Qu, although your strength cultivation is stronger than mine, we are only a small realm gap. If I really fight to the death, if you want to defeat me, I'm afraid it won't be easy! 】

Embarrassed and helpless, Zhao Guangfu glanced enviously at Xuan Yue, who had won the blank lot, and said with a wry smile: [It's a pity that I don't have as good luck as Tianyu City Xuanyue, and I can directly advance to the second round of the competition. Otherwise, I won't meet you in the first round, Senior Brother Qu, you must know that you and I not only represent the younger generation of martial artists in Yanhuo City, but also learn from the same family, today's three-city martial arts competition is not as good as the usual martial arts competition, not only is it related to the image of our Yanhuo City and Shimen, but also if it really affects the performance of Senior Brother Qu in your next game because of the competition with me, I am afraid that as soon as I return to Yanhuo City, even if the master and his old man don't scold me for not knowing the general situation, I am afraid that the little junior sister who likes you will also peel off a few layers of my skin! 】

Sighing again in desperation, Zhao Guangfu spread his hands, and encouraged as if resigned to his fate: [In this case, then I am not as good as an adult, as long as I abstain and admit defeat, then Senior Brother Qu, you can directly enter the promotion competition of this round like Xuanyue of Tianyu City. 】

[Senior brother, you-you ————]

Hearing this, Qu Defei was greatly moved, Zhao Guangfu knew that he was uncomfortable, but he couldn't stand Qu Defei's mother-in-law and mother-in-law, so he waved his arm and hurriedly asked Nongshan to announce the results of the game.

Nong Shan looked at the pair of affectionate brothers, although he had some regret for Zhao Guangfu's abstention, but finally showed an approving smile on his face.

As long as it is the younger generation of martial artists in Brahma County, there is almost no one who does not know the importance of the three-city martial arts tournament, as long as you have the strength, the three-city martial arts tournament is an opportunity for young martial artists to emerge and make a splash.

Giving up the competition not only means giving up the opportunity to show their strength, but also means that the person competing gives up the possibility of competing for the Xuan-level martial art [Three Thousand Kendo] that any martial artist in Brahma County will be crazy about.

[The seventh game is over, and Qu Defei, a player from Flame City, wins! ] 】

When the seventh match ended, the crowd of onlookers in the arena was immediately relieved, and when Nongshan announced that the first round was completely over, everyone was looking forward to the production of the top four players after the second round.

Half an hour after the intermission, the teams of the contestants from the three major cities, under the arrangement of Nongshan, quickly entered the rest area in turn.

It was a long corridor outside the martial arts arena, and there was a lotus pond around the outside of the corridor, and the sun was shining at the moment, and under the refraction of the sun, the water surface was as silver as fish scales.

Occasionally, a dragonfly flew down on the lotus flower, and when it was seen by girls such as Han Yixin, Zhang Die, and Yin Yao, it immediately caused bursts of chase and laughter.

Under this comfortable atmosphere, Xuan Yue followed the team all the way, and finally the Great Elder of Cold Shock found a pavilion with a good scenery to rest.

Xuan Yue looked around, but did not see the teams of Blackwater City and Flame City, and after inquiring with Xuan Yong and Xuan Haoran, he knew that Brahma County deliberately separated the three teams.

First, after the first round of preliminary rounds, the contestants in the three cities were injured, and whether it was the young Tianjiao who participated in the competition, or the leader and elder who led the team this time, they would inevitably protect the calves, so they were a little angry in their hearts.

If the enemies really meet, I am afraid that they will be very angry, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts and contradictions, Brahma County deliberately arranged the participating teams of Tianyu City, Blackwater City and Flame City separately.

Second, Brahma County arranged this way, which also has another meaning, after all, the results of the first round of preliminary rounds have come out, and there are a total of eight finalists, that is, the top eight players.

The strength and power of these top eight players are different, and it was only during the break for the teams of the three major cities that Brahma County was able to arrange the next match.

During the adjustment of the participating teams of the three major cities, the county lord of Brahma, who had been silent, was looking at Nongshan with a black face at the moment.

Nongshan naturally didn't know why Ning Hao's county lord was angry, until someone sent the list of players who advanced to this round, looking at the list in front of him, Nongshan, who had always been familiar with Ning Hao's county lord's temperament, suddenly realized, and finally understood where the county lord's anger came from.

It turned out that among the eight players who advanced to this round, Tianyu City actually occupied four places, and Nong Shan glanced at these four places, the first one was Xuan Yue, who was automatically promoted by drawing a blank lot, and the remaining three were Shangguan Sheng, Han Yixin and Yin Yao.

On the other hand, Blackwater City and Yanhuo City each occupy two places, the two players who advanced to the quarterfinals of Blackwater City are Shang Yang and Wang Jun, while the players who advance to the quarterfinals of Yanhuo City are Lie Yan and Qu Defei, who just won the seventh game.
