Lu Zhan secretly wrote down these materials about Lu Xuan and the Third Young Master in his heart, and then asked: "Xiao Yan, last time you said that this year's 'Martial Arts Examination' was a combination of the assessment of the descendant line and the assessment of the external department, how could this be? ”

Xiao Yan replied: "The assessment rules have been changed this time, not like the previous elimination system of catching the right two by two, but changing to the way of big melee." Only two people in the Lu clan participated in the assessment, and the number of them was a little smaller, so they were allowed to participate in the assessment of the foreign department. However, their assessment rules are still a little different from yours, and Jinyantang requires that they must grab five apricot yellow flags before they are eligible to enter Jinyantang. ”

"Five apricot yellow flags?" Lu Zhanqi said, "What does this mean?"

Xiao Yan pursed his lips and said, "It's a shame that you are thinking about participating in the assessment, why didn't you even understand the rules of this assessment in advance." The alias of this assessment is called 'Flag Grabbing Competition', each person will be given an apricot yellow flag, after the start of the competition, you must not only keep your apricot yellow flag and not let others snatch it, but also try to grab other people's apricot yellow flag. After the end of the competition, the results will be calculated according to the number of apricot yellow flags in each person's hand, and the top ten with good results will be taken to enter the nursing academy, and if the results are particularly good, they can also get the elixir rewarded by Jinyantang and the opportunity to enter Jinyantang to learn high-level martial arts. My young lady and Lu Xuan are very powerful characters in the inner house, and it is definitely not a problem to grab five flags, you, first keep the flag in your hand from being snatched, and there is already a thirty percent chance of entering the nursing house. ”

Lu Zhan let out an "oh", thinking that this assessment method is quite interesting, and it is quite a bit of the flavor of the mountain hegemony mentioned in those legendary novels.

At this time, the gathering horn in front of the foot of the mountain sounded, and Lu Zhan said goodbye to Xiaoyan and walked to the gathering point.

I saw that seventy or eighty people had gathered here, all of them shining, strong and strong.

Most of them were in their twenties and thirties, and some of them were in their forties, and there were even several women in the mix.

The Huyuan Hall of Lu Mansion and the Jingwu Hall of Yan Mansion are two martial arts groups with the same name in the local area, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the team, the competition activities of recruiting members will naturally be a little harsh, but there are not too many restrictions on the age and identity background of the surname.

Several big men wearing the uniforms of the nursing hall issued a yellow pennant to each of these participants in the martial arts assessment, and there was a number on the flag, and Lu Zhan got the No. 58 flag, and they each sent a map with the terrain of Zixia Mountain drawn, and each map also marked the location of the corresponding "flag" with themselves.

Lu Zhan saw Yan Dahai in the team who had a relationship with him when he participated in the audition before, and the fat man's apricot yellow flag number was "twenty-three".

At this moment, four men walked to the front of the group and stood facing them.

Three of the four were wearing the uniforms of the Guardian Hall, and one old man was wearing a purple robe, and a golden swallow was embroidered on his chest, which was the symbol of the "Golden Swallow Hall".

The old man of Jin Yantang walked in front of the candidates, cleared his throat in a low voice, and let out a "hmm".

The old man's cough was not loud, but Lu Zhan only felt that his eardrums were "buzzing" for a while, and his heartbeat rate was chaotic several times, and he secretly applauded in his heart: "This old guy is so powerful in martial arts!"

The old man quietly showed his hand to shake the mountain's martial arts kung fu, and the chaotic examination room suddenly fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are welcome to participate in the 'Martial Arts Examination' in Lu Mansion, today's assessment rules are different from previous years, and the apricot yellow flag in your hand will be used as the test scoring standard.

There is a number on the apricot yellow flag in your hand, and that is your test number. You also have a topographic map with your test numbers on it, and that place is your respective test center. You will be given a maximum of four sticks of incense later, and you must arrive at your respective test center within the allotted time, where you will wait for the sound of the horn for the start of the test.

When the first horn sounds, you can act, the rule is to grab someone else's apricot yellow flag, and protect your own apricot yellow flag from being robbed, during which you can use various means, this assessment of swords, guns, blades, crossbow arrows, hidden weapons, and even poison and poison can be used. But there is a rule, if one party voluntarily surrenders and surrenders its apricot yellow flag, the other side is not allowed to chase and kill, let alone hurt people's lives.

We have the manpower of the Nursing Hall and the Jinyan Hall scattered everywhere to monitor the examination room, once this rule is violated, they will be kicked out of the examination room immediately, and if it is serious, they will be brought back to the Jinyan Hall, and we will be held seriously responsible by the family law of our Lu family.

And when the second horn cannon sounded, it meant that there was still time left before the end of the assessment, and those who had the apricot yellow flag in their hands had to hurry up and rush to the Qibao Pavilion on the top of the mountain.

After the time of the three incense sticks, the assessment is over, and anyone who fails to arrive at the Qibao Pavilion will be counted as elimination, and those who rush over but have no apricot yellow flag in their hands will also be counted as elimination.

Those who successfully pass the assessment will be ranked according to their results, and the top 10 will enter the nursing home. Enjoy a high salary and various other benefits, and can receive monthly guidance on pills and martial arts. ”

Saying that, the old man looked at everyone and reiterated solemnly: "The world is like hemp, the sword has no eyes, this assessment pays attention to the fight of real swords and real guns, and if you are not careful, you will have the risk of your life, if you want to quit and save your life, please get out of the queue now." ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one had withdrawn, he nodded, lit a incense stick, and said to everyone: "Okay, now please go to your respective departure test center and wait for the horn to sound." ”

All the candidates immediately scattered and climbed up the hillside, each showing their skills and rushing to their own test center.

Lu Zhan glanced at the topographic map in his hand, indicating that the location of the "58th" test center was located on the southern slope of Zixia Mountain, and hurried towards the southern slope.

With his current physical fitness, it is not a problem to run like the wind.

But he didn't want to expose his strength too much at the moment, so he deliberately slowed down, and by the way, he observed the body skills of the masters who rushed to their respective test centers along the way, from which he could slightly figure out the differences in the martial arts they had learned.

Some of them ran on the ground with big strides, looking a little clumsy, but their breath was long, and they ran wildly all the way without showing any fatigue.

Some people are elegant, stepping on stones and jumping, passing through trees, as light as swallows.

Lu Zhan couldn't help but think of the fat man surnamed Yan, and he didn't know how his fat body would behave in this body law examination. So he turned his head to look around, but he didn't see the fat man.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a big knife on his shoulder ran to him and greeted: "Hey, little brother, can I discuss something with you?"

Lu Zhan nodded: "Please say, what's the matter?"

The middle-aged man said: "I see that the number on your apricot yellow flag is 'fifty-eight', and mine is 'fifty-four'." ”

Lu Zhan was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

"This shows that we are very close to the test center. The test centers with a 'five' in the ten digits are all on the south slope. ”

Lu Zhan let out an "oh" and understood, it seems that this number number demarcates the test center area. Yan Dahai's number is "twenty-three", so he should be on the other side of the mountain at this moment, no wonder he can't be seen.

The middle-aged man said again: "I also saw your performance in the last audition, little brother, it is really very strong, why don't we join forces now." ”

"Join forces?" Lu Zhan's brows furrowed.

"yes, join forces to grab the flag. The middle-aged man didn't see his reluctant expression, and continued: "Let's join forces to grab other people's apricot yellow flags, so that the efficiency is higher and the more you can grab." There is no provision in the assessment rules that you can't join forces, so you can't cheat, and we will divide the apricot yellow flag we won, what do you think?"

Lu Zhan shook his head slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested." ”

This middle-aged man obviously wanted to have a strong companion as a guarantee, and when he saw this, he unwillingly persuaded again: "It will definitely be beneficial and harmless for us to join forces." Others will definitely join forces, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, you can fight alone, and when you meet two or three good hands, you will also lose the battle regardless of the future. ”

Lu Zhan firmly refused: "Then please go find someone who is willing to join forces with you, don't waste time on me." ”

Seeing him refuse like this, the middle-aged man had no choice but to walk away stupidly.

Lu Zhan came to the southern slope and found the test center marked on the map. He sat down on a rock and looked around, taking in his surroundings.

This is in a mountain col, there is a narrow mountain road next to it, and there is a thatched pavilion for visitors to rest on the side of the mountain road seven or eight zhang away from themselves.

At this time, there was a strong man dressed as a martial artist standing in the thatched pavilion, the strong man was holding a steel knife in his hand, looking at Lu Zhan with fierce eyes, while shaking his arms and legs to prepare for the fight.

"Bang-smack!"

With the sound of a trumpet, the martial arts examination began.

The strong man in the thatched pavilion jumped up in the first moment and flew towards Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan was still sitting on the stone, and since someone automatically sent him to the door, he was also happy to save some physical strength.

The strong man ran to Lu Zhan, shook the snowy steel knife, opened his throat and shouted: "Oh, obediently hand over the apricot yellow flag, spare you from death." ”

Lu Zhan stood up slowly, he thrust the apricot yellow flag into his waist, beckoned to the strong man, and said, "If you have the ability, take it yourself." ”

The strong man swooped out two beautiful knife moves, shaking the steel knife and roaring: "I said that the sword is not long-eyed, if you start fighting, you kid will not be able to protect yourself from being pierced with a few transparent holes, if you know each other, surrender yourself." ”

Lu Zhan can see it, this guy is very inward-looking, and he dares to be an empty shelf.

According to his own strength, one punch can knock him to his grandmother's house, but he is still ready to play two tricks with him, just in time to practice his newly learned "Black Tiger Heart Fist" and increase some actual combat experience.

He snorted coldly and said, "Where is so much nonsense, let's do it." ”

Seeing that he couldn't frighten the young man in front of him, the strong man had no choice but to let out a strange cry and swing his knife and slash over.

Lu Zhan leaned to the side, dodged the blade of the strong man, and his right hand went down, two fingers and one buckle, and the back of the steel knife was tightly buckled.

The strong man gritted his teeth and twisted the handle of the knife hard, but the knife was stuck between Lu Zhan's fingers without moving, and it was difficult to pull it back even if he used all his strength.

Lu Zhan abruptly let go of the steel knife, took two steps back, and made a "come again" gesture to the strong man with a flushed face.
