Chapter 14 Qualifiers
The Martial Arts Championship is approaching.
Since Jinyulou is located in the center of Xingdu City, it is only a foot away from the venue of the competition, and all the guest rooms are almost full at this time.
"Lin Xiao, aren't you really going to participate in the Martial Arts Tianjiao Competition?"
In the room, Ling Anche asked.
"I just want to improve my strength as soon as possible and avenge my father." Lin Xiao replied.
"If you want to improve your strength, you should participate in the Tianjiao Competition." Ling Anche explained: "Those who perform well and stand out in the competition can not only join one of the three major forces, but also obtain a martial arts mastery of at least five grades. β
"The competition is divided into several stages, and each stage has various rewards, and the rules are different every year, but the benefits are countless."
"Is it really that good?" When Lin Xiao heard this, he immediately became interested.
"Of course, why would so many people come from far and wide every year?" Ling Anche continued: "Usually there is a team task every year, and we can still take care of each other when the time comes. β
"That's your main purpose, right?"
"Hehe, don't you see through it."
β¦β¦
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Martial Arts Tianjiao Competition.
On this day, Lin Xiao, Ling Anche, Xiao Siyuan, Xie Xiaoyi and his party left Jinyulou early and set off for the competition.
Han Zhong's leg injury is not a day or two, so he can't compete.
Early in the morning, the streets were full of people, and everyone was walking in one direction.
When the group arrived at the arena, it was already crowded.
The so-called arena is actually a stone platform, but although it is extremely simple, under Lin Xiao's visual inspection, it is the size of two football fields.
Directly in front of the stone platform was a high platform, where a group of people dressed in brocade clothes leaned comfortably on their seats.
At the front of these people were three more comfortable chairs, on which three sat with solemn and majestic faces.
I think they are the leaders of the three major forces.
The old man in the middle had a similar face to Luo Xian, but his face looked a little gloomy, it was obvious that he was the pavilion master of the Sword Heart Pavilion, Luo Chen.
"Among the three major forces, there is still a woman?" Xiao Siyuan looked at the old woman next to Luo Chen and said.
"She is the owner of Lanyue Tower, she has made a lot of contributions to the imperial court, and later the imperial court intended to absorb it, so she supported it all the way, and the Lanyue Building, which was backed by the imperial court, developed rapidly and became one of the three major forces." Ling Anche explained: "Today's Lanyue Tower is just a name, and they have already become members of the imperial court. β
Distance.
A shadow walked towards Lin Xiao.
"Is that you? Why are you there? Lin Xiao looked at Qin Xiang in front of him with some surprise.
"The Tianjiao Competition is the most lively thing every year, of course I want to come and see it."
Qin Xiang saw that there were still a few people around Lin Xiao, so he asked, "Who are these people?" β
"Oh, I'll introduce you to each other."
Lin Xiao first introduced Ling Anche, Xiao Siyuan, and Xie Xiaoyi, and then briefly introduced Qin Xiang to them.
"It turned out to be the deputy commander of Tianziwei."
Ling Anche looked up and down, his throat moved slightly, and his eyes showed a complicated expression, some admiration, some envy, but it seemed to be more admiration.
For some reason, Ling Anche, who had always been cold to strangers, seemed to be in a trance at this time.
With Ling Anche's handsome appearance, he has been liked by many girls since he was a child, and he can be regarded as a woman who has read countless women, and has seen many women with outstanding temperament and extraordinary appearance, but this person is as elegant as still water and bright moon, floating like clouds in the sky, warm as a spring breeze, and clear as a pine reflecting the cold pond.
It's not just beautiful, it's ever-changing.
Ling Anche thought of many words in an instant, but couldn't think of a suitable description of her.
"You're all here for the tournament?" Qin Xiang asked.
"Now that we've arrived in Hindu City, we have to join in the fun." Xiao Siyuan said with a smile.
"And you're participating?" Qin Xiang turned his head to look at Lin Xiao.
"Hmm." Lin Xiao nodded.
"Then I'll participate too." Qin Xiang said with a grin.
"You? As the deputy commander of Tianziwei, you still have to compete for resources? Lin Xiao said.
Qin Xiang disagreed.
A few people were chatting and laughing, waiting for the opening of the competition.
It's just that Ling Anche, who was originally silent in front of outsiders, has become even more silent at this moment.
However, the scene of talking happily here was seen by Luo Heng on the other side.
Luo Heng clenched his fists tightly, seeing his fiancΓ©e talking happily with other men, he couldn't bear it.
Because Long Yuanjian reappeared in the rivers and lakes, he originally secretly sent someone to investigate Lin Xiao, but the opening of the competition was imminent, and he was afraid of causing any trouble, so he never made a move against Lin Xiao.
"It just so happens that with this competition, I can get rid of you by the way!"
β¦β¦
At this time, a dull bell suddenly rang in the arena.
"Silence!"
A thunderous roar exploded on the high platform, and many people felt that their brains were buzzing.
This sound was compressed by Yuan Qi, and finally completely vibrated and amplified dozens of times.
Looking in the direction of the voice, on the high platform, Luo Chen hung a long sword from his waist, like a peerless master, majestic.
Everyone's attention was focused on him, and the originally noisy arena immediately fell silent, and the chaotic crowd became orderly in a short period of time.
Luo Chen took a step forward and said with a full sense of anger: "The old man is the current pavilion master of Jianxin Pavilion, and the two people around me are Ying Ci, the owner of Lanyue Tower, and Yuan Xing, the owner of the Sun Moon Gate. β
"The martial arts competition is a competition between the younger generation, we will not interfere with your competition, but the arena also has the rules of the arena, everyone must obey unconditionally, any disobedience, any disobedience, will be regarded as a violation, directly disqualified, if the circumstances are serious, directly on the spot! Do you understand? β
"Got it!"
"Wow, it's really worthy of the Pavilion Master of the Sword Heart Pavilion, so majestic and domineering!"
The contestants in the arena answered in a mess.
Luo Chen frowned slightly, returned to his seat, and didn't say anything more.
Immediately afterwards, the owner of Lanyue Mansion beside him, Old Lady Ying Ci slowly stepped forward.
"Next, I will announce the rules and content of this competition, which is different every year, and this competition is divided into four stages, namely the qualifiers, the main competition, the semi-finals and the finals."
"The qualifiers officially start today, for three days, these three days you have to go to the wilderness on the northern outskirts of Xingdu City to hunt demon beasts, after three days, the more demon beasts submitted and the higher the grade, the higher the ranking, in addition, in the wilderness, no food will be provided, everything will be obtained in the wilderness by your own hands."
"In the game, you are not allowed to kill each other."
"Don't deliberately seriously injure or disable the opponent, it's just a game."
"There are no other hard and fast rules, do you understand?"
Ying Ci finished speaking in one breath and asked loudly.
"Got it!" The contestants answered excitedly.
Most of the people here are young geniuses who are from rich backgrounds and have participated in the Martial Arts Tianjiao Competition before, and they are quite familiar with these hard rules.
Lin Xiao was amazed when he heard this.
Isn't this fucking just survival in the wilderness?
Moreover, this seemingly simple qualifier rule has a lot of mystery in it.
It's just enough to get your own food, but the rules also emphasize that everything depends on your own hands, which is intriguing.
In other words, without killing or seriously injuring others, it is completely possible to snatch the demon beast Neidan from others as their own trophies.
Therefore, if you want to rank higher, you must not only get more demon beast inner pills, but more importantly, protect the demon beast inner pills in your hands.
In contrast, the latter is more difficult.
After a while, Yuan Xing, the master of the Sun Moon Sect on the side, slowly walked out and said, "Everyone, if someone is injured during the competition, it is best to find my Sun Moon Sect disciple in time, and they will treat everyone as soon as possible." β
He then took out another bag from the bag.
"If the situation is urgent, you can use my Sun Moon Gate's special exorcism to disperse, open it at a critical moment, and the demon beasts below the fifth order will be dispelled immediately."
"This exorcism scatters a hand, if once used, it will automatically be regarded as elimination, and it is not allowed to open other people's tips without authorization, if it is because of this kind of thing, both sides will be eliminated at the same time, because the real strong do not need to play such tricks."
"After all, among the thousands of you, only fifty people can be selected to enter the main competition, so I hope you can rely on your own strength and seize the opportunity."
"In addition, my Sun and Moon Sect will also take this opportunity to recruit new disciples every year, and if you want to take the medical exam, there will be children of the Sun and Moon to lead you away."
When the leaders of the three great powers finished speaking, the crowd cheered again.
Immediately afterwards, after the organizer's identity interrogation and physical examination, the students who participated in this competition received the exorcism of the Sun Moon Gate and began to march to the wilderness in the northern suburbs of Xingdu City.
Along the way, Qin Xiang also followed Lin Xiao and his party.
After Luo Heng in the distance saw it, he was even more determined to kill Lin Xiao.
The northern suburbs were not far away, and soon everyone came to the wilderness and woodland of the northern suburbs.
"The four of us are definitely not very efficient together, and we can only find more by working separately." Lin Xiao said.
"Okay, Miss Qin, why don't you join me together." Ling Anche said.
"I'd like to be in a group with you." Qin Xiang didn't answer Ling Anche's words, and looked directly at Lin Xiao.
"Whatever."
Lin Xiao said casually, in the face of such a scene, it was difficult for him not to be embarrassed.
Ling Anche's face obviously flashed with a look of loss, he didn't speak again, and walked straight to the forest, Xiao Siyuan saw this, exchanged a look with Lin Xiao, and followed.
"I remember when I first met you, you weren't like that." Lin Xiao said.
"What?"
Qin Xiang asked with a wink of wide eyes.
"It's very cold, don't get close to people." Lin Xiao said.
"You also said that you should not approach the living, but you are not a living person now." Qin Xiang pouted.
It seems that he is still too handsome, alas.
Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly and walked towards the forest.
Luo Heng had been observing the movement here from a distance, and when he heard Qin Xiang's sentence "You are not a living person now", he was about to explode.
