Chapter 215: Okuben Martial Arts Hall (Volume 6 Martial Arts Hall Fights)
Ryan watched from top to bottom, one martial arts hall after another, and after a while, the reason was very simple, this martial arts hall was mainly taught heavy sword, and it was the highest ranked heavy sword martial arts hall in the rankings, ranking seventh.
From the rankings, I learned that the top ten martial arts hall masters are all level 7 swordsmen. And Oburn, the owner of the Auburn Martial Arts Gym that Ryan has a crush on, is also a level 7 swordsman.
It's just that the Auburn Martial Arts Hall is ranked seventh, which makes Ryan slightly dissatisfied, but there is no way, the top few in the ranking are all long sword martial arts halls, although the introduction of these martial arts halls shows that the martial arts halls also teach heavy swords, but Ryan still likes the martial arts hall that teaches heavy swords, so he has no choice but to choose this Auburn Martial Arts Hall.
After taking a closer look at the martial arts rankings, Ryan closed the book, and he wanted to go outside to inquire about the situation of the Auburn martial arts hall. Ryan wasn't entirely convinced of the leaderboard, and he needed to ask what others thought of Auburn.
Unexpectedly, when Ryan asked the waiter at the bar, he got a very unexpected answer.
"Auburn Martial Arts? They finished seventh last month, and this month's rankings haven't come out yet, and if they do, they'll definitely go backwards, maybe they won't even be in the top 20. ”
"Why?" Ryan is very weird.
"You don't know? This is what all of us in Saiyan City know. The waiter looked at Ryan in surprise and didn't answer right away.
"Oh! I've just arrived in Saiyan City, and I don't know what's going on, so tell me about it. Ryan shoved two silver coins into the waiter.
Now Ryan is not short of money, and he is a little more bold than before.
Sure enough, the waiter immediately said with a smile: "Just last month, the Auburn Martial Arts Hall was challenged by other martial arts halls, and then there was a conflict between the two sides, and the owner of the pavilion, Oben, accepted the other party's challenge and had a duel. Unexpectedly, in the duel, the owner of the Auburn Pavilion didn't know what happened, and he lost to the opponent and was stabbed in the chest by the opponent's sword. The next day, the owner of Auburn died of his injuries. ”
"I see." Ryan was immediately shaken by the choice in his heart, but he still inquired in detail about the situation of the Auburn Martial Arts Hall.
After the death of the owner of the Auburn Martial Arts Pavilion, the martial arts hall was managed by the three personal disciples of the hall owner, but due to the death of the hall owner who was a level 7 sword master, the martial arts hall no longer had a level 7 sword master to support the scene, and there were only three level 6 swordsman master disciples. As a result, the Auburn Martial Arts Hall plummeted, and in less than a month, many students dropped out of school and left to join other martial arts halls.
In addition, Ryan also heard that the daughter of the martial arts hall owner, who had studied in the Otto Empire, rushed back to mourn, and then also managed the martial arts hall with the three hall master disciples.
For these gossip news, Ryan just listened to it, and just when Ryan was about to change an academy, he suddenly heard the waiter's next words, and suddenly he changed his mind again.
"But since the owner's daughter came back, the number of students in the Auburn Martial Arts Hall has increased a lot, just like when the owner of the hall had not died before."
"Why?"
"I heard that the owner's daughter has spread the word that the Auburn Martial Arts Hall will fully open the mid-level sword skills secrets to the students, and those who perform well can even teach the high-level sword skills secrets of the Auburn Hall master."
As soon as Ryan listened to the waiter's words, he understood the method of the Auburn Martial Arts Hall. In this world, basically most people are self-cherished, even Ryan himself, and he didn't think of sharing his best secrets with others. Therefore, among the sword skills generally taught in the martial arts hall, they are basically low-level sword skills, and only those students who have made significant contributions have the opportunity to teach the secrets of middle-level sword skills. Only by becoming a personal disciple of the Pavilion Master will you have the opportunity to teach the secrets of high-level sword skills, or other housekeeping skills of the Pavilion Master.
The fact that the Okuburn Martial Arts Hall is now openly proclaiming that it will openly teach the secrets of the martial arts gym's mid-level sword skills shows how strong the temptation is for students, so it attracts many students to sign up.
However, such a move by the Auburn Martial Arts Hall will definitely greatly harm the interests of other martial arts halls, and it is estimated that there will be many martial arts halls coming to trouble the Oben Martial Arts Hall in the future.
After learning the news, Ryan thought about it. In the end, he decided to choose the Auburn Martial Arts Pavilion because he liked the mid-level secrets that the Martial Arts Hall promised to open. In addition, Ryan thought that there was no more level 7 swordsman in the martial arts hall, although there was one less high-level figure to teach him, but if he wanted to leave in the future, no one could stop him, and the three disciples of the hall master of the level 6 swordsman were not taken to heart by Ryan.
The next day, Ryan went to the Auburn Martial Arts Hall early in the morning, this time Ryan pretended to be an ordinary swordsman who had just been promoted to level 5 swordsman, so Ryan only kept the heavy sword armor and other equipment on his body, and all other eye-catching things were stored in the magic storage bag.
Under the guidance of passers-by, Ryan soon came to the Auburn Martial Arts Hall, a much larger building than the other martial arts halls. It's right to think about it, the Auburn Martial Arts Hall was previously the seventh-ranked martial arts hall in Saiyan City, so it naturally had a large place.
Like other martial arts halls, the outside of the Auburn Martial Arts Hall is surrounded by a five-meter-high wall. Ryan roughly estimated that the wall in front of the door was at least four or five hundred meters long, which showed how large the area in the martial arts hall was.
The gate of the Auburn Martial Arts Hall is also very large, wide enough to allow two two-horse carriages to drive in, the high steps in front of the door, the heavy wooden door, everything is not much different from other martial arts halls, some differences are that there is a large golden plaque hanging on the eaves of the door, which reads "Oben Martial Arts" several words, which looks extraordinary.
Ryan looked over and found that there were almost no people entering or leaving the entrance of the big martial arts hall. After thinking about it for a while, he understood the reason, there were ten stout swordsmen wearing heavy swords stationed at the entrance of the martial arts hall. The swordsmen who cultivate the heavy sword are generally strong men with large bodies and thick bodies, and these people naturally look more terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people. Therefore, although these ten swordsmen guarding the door did not show their hideous faces, they were enough for ordinary people not to dare to approach easily.
Ryan used ten people to guard the door of the martial arts hall, but there was no big surprise, and the martial arts hall in Saiyan City basically had a lot of people guarding the door. Even, Ryan was at the door of a martial arts hall and saw almost twenty people guarding the door. The reason why so many people are used to guard the door is very simple, it is to prevent people from other martial arts halls from coming to make trouble.
Ryan looked at the Auburn Martial Arts Hall a little more, and walked straight towards the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall.
Unexpectedly, before Ryan approached the door, a large strong man guarding the door stepped forward, stared at Ryan viciously, and asked, "What are you doing here?" This is the Auburn Martial Arts Hall, and people are not allowed to approach. ”
This big man is about the same size as Ryan, and Ryan originally had a good impression of him, but as soon as the other party spoke, he used such arrogant and vicious words, which suddenly turned Ryan's favor into a bad feeling. Ryan couldn't help but think in his heart, "Could it be that all the students in the martial arts hall are so arrogant and arrogant? ”
Ryan didn't answer for a while, and his face became slightly ugly.
Seeing that Ryan seemed to ignore him, the big man couldn't help but ask loudly again, "Boy, are you here to make trouble?" I'm telling you, the Auburn Martial Arts Hall isn't the place for you to make trouble. ”
Subsequently, Ryan suddenly thought of the situation that Auburn Martial Arts Hall was facing now, and the attitude of the big man as if he was facing a great enemy seemed to become understandable. So Ryan tried to make his voice as calm as possible, and said, "I'm here to sign up for the martial arts gym." ”
The big man was stunned for a moment, he first looked Ryan up and down with very surprised and suspicious eyes, and then said, "Come in and wait." ”
After saying that, the big man got out of the way, and Ryan didn't pay attention to the other party anymore, and stepped straight into the door of the martial arts hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Ryan saw six or seven people standing in the open space in the small courtyard inside the door, all of them waiting. Without saying a word, Ryan joined the waiting, ignoring the others and standing alone on the side.
Ryan looked around carefully, the area of this small courtyard was very large, enough to stand hundreds of people, and the layout was a bit similar to the layout of the martial arts training ground, except for the direction facing the gate, the other directions were surrounded by high walls, leaving only a long corridor on the side leading to other places.
This layout is very strange, but Ryan understands the purpose of this layout after thinking about it carefully, this courtyard is estimated to be a place for the martial arts hall to resolve disputes with outsiders, in addition to making outsiders wait. The real core of the martial arts hall can only be reached through this long corridor.
"I didn't expect the martial arts hall to be so cautious, and I didn't even let people go in to see it."
After a while, two more people came in from outside the door who looked like they had come to sign up, and then three people came out of the corridor, led by a middle-aged man with a slightly short head, two wisps of beard, and the appearance of a housekeeper, followed by two people who looked like servants.
The middle-aged man walked up to everyone and did not speak immediately, but looked at the waiting crowd one by one.
Ryan's appearance is very ordinary, so he didn't attract the special attention of the middle-aged man at all, and the middle-aged man just regarded Ryan as an ordinary member, and his eyes just swept Ryan, and then focused his gaze on the others.
Then, the middle-aged man spoke, his voice was very sharp, like an old woman's scream, which was annoying: "Hello everyone, I am Ekri, the housekeeper in charge of daily affairs in the Auburn Martial Arts Gym, and now I will sign up for the assessment, if you pass the assessment, you can join our martial arts hall." ”
As soon as the words fell, one of the stout big men in the crowd, with an angry face, stood up two steps and let out a very vulgar-sounding voice: "Why do you want to be assessed? Didn't you say that you can join the martial arts hall after paying the gold coins? ”
