Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Contest Begins
"Lin Shen, here!"
As soon as he stepped into the playground, Lin Shen saw Zheng Hongsheng waving at him not far away.
Next to them stood Xu Yuan and Qian Hui.
Lin Shen smiled slightly, walked quickly to a few people, and said hello.
"You guys came early?"
"Not really!"
Zheng Hongsheng smiled.
"There must be a lot of people watching a competition like this, and you won't be able to get a good position if you don't come early!"
Lin Shen looked around and agreed with Zheng Hongsheng's statement.
In addition to the vacant space in the middle that is used as a competition venue, the playground has long been occupied by dense crowds.
It is crowded with people and noisy, much more lively than the vegetable market.
Not only the third graders, but also many first and second graders were there to watch the game.
Most of the students had excited expressions on their faces, and they were obviously looking forward to the next competition.
A corner of the playground.
More than a dozen teachers stood together and whispered to each other.
Kong Hong is also among them.
Seeing Lin Shen, he also smiled at the latter.
As soon as Lin Shen returned his head, he was interrupted by Zheng Hongsheng, who came over.
"Lin Shen, I've inquired clearly!"
"Including you, there are a total of 31 people participating in this competition, all of whom are students who have cultivated at the fourth level of pneumatics and above!"
Although there is no restriction on the cultivation of participants, as long as you are a third-year student, you can sign up for it.
However, it is impossible for the students who are below the fourth layer of pneumatics to get the top ten at all, and it is just a waste of time and energy to participate in the competition, so the applicants are all elite students of the fourth layer and above of pneumatics without exception.
"There are five of them you need to pay special attention to, their cultivation has reached the fifth level of pneumatics, and the blazing sun palms of three of them are all proficient realms like you, and their strength is not weak, if you encounter them, you must be careful!"
Before Lin Shen could speak, Qian Hui said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Lin Shen is so powerful, he will definitely be able to get the top ten!"
"Not to mention the top ten!" Xu Yuan answered with a smile, "It's not like you haven't seen Lin Shen's strength, it's definitely no problem to enter the top four!" ”
Lin Shen smiled faintly and did not speak.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd.
A few people followed the voice, and saw that the crowd on one side of the playground suddenly separated to both sides, vacating a passageway.
A group of people walked in through the passage with their heads held high, and went straight to the front of the crowd watching the battle.
Zheng Hongsheng suddenly sighed.
"They're here to watch the battle!"
The children of the family who suddenly appeared attracted the attention of most people for the first time.
Especially the leading Yan Xing and Zhao Xueying, they are like fireflies in the night, which is particularly eye-catching.
"It's Yan Xing and Zhao Xueying!"
"Why are these people here? It's hard to imagine that they will also participate in the competition! ”
"Impossible, I've inquired, among the participants in the competition, except for Su Nian from Class 5, who was born in Hanpu, there are no other children of the family!"
"So, they're just here to watch the battle?"
"Probably so."
The surrounding crowd was talking and pointing at the children of the family.
Lin Shen's gaze passed over Yan Xing and Zhao Xueying, and fell directly on Zhou Zhihai at the back of the crowd.
The latter happened to look at it at this time.
The moment they met their gaze, a touch of gloomy coldness flashed in Zhou Zhihai's eyes, and he immediately withdrew his gaze.
Zheng Hongsheng and Xu Yuan also noticed Zhou Zhihai.
Seeing Zhou Zhihai turn his head after a glance, Zheng Hongsheng couldn't help but grin.
"Hehe, that guy Zhou Zhihai is really afraid of Lin Shen, and he doesn't even dare to look at each other!"
"He's a guy who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard!" Xu Yuan echoed.
Lin Shen smiled noncommittally.
Only he understood that the reason why Zhou Zhihai reined in his malice at this time was only because greater malice was already brewing.
At this time, Lin Shen suddenly noticed another line of sight, and looked over according to his feelings, only to find that it was Yang Zhongyi.
He was also among the sons of that family.
Seeing Lin Shen coming over, Yang Zhongyi waved his hand at him with a smile, which attracted the attention of many children of the family next to him, but he didn't care at all.
Lin Shen smiled slightly, and also raised his hand to say hello.
More than ten minutes later.
A teacher walked to the middle of the playground, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and raised his voice:
"The competition is about to begin, and then the first round of competition will be held, and the students who read their names will stand in the center of the field!"
"Remember, this is just a competition, the two sides point to the end, and those who deliberately make a ruthless move to disable the opponent will not only be disqualified from the competition, but will also be severely punished by the academy!"
Looking around, the teacher nodded with satisfaction when he saw that the students were all listening quietly.
"Start the game, the students who played in the first round, Huang Weiqing and Shi Jun!"
As the teacher's voice fell, two boys immediately walked out of the crowd.
In full view.
The two walked quickly to the center of the venue and stood still, looking at each other menacingly.
The moment the teacher who served as the referee announced the start, the two immediately rushed towards each other, and in the blink of an eye, a fierce battle became a ball.
"Huang Weiqing is in the fourth class, Shi Jun is in the eighth class, both of them are pneumatic four-layer cultivators, and the Blazing Sun Palm is also in the entry realm, and the strength is almost the same." Zheng Hongsheng explained in a low voice on the side.
As he said, Huang Weiqing and Shi Jun are almost the same in strength.
The two sides fought for four or five minutes, and in the end, Shi Jun had a slight advantage, and knocked Huang Weiqing out with one palm, and fell to the ground for a long time unable to get up.
The referee glanced at Huang Weiqing and announced loudly:
"Shi Jun wins!"
Shi Jun's face was full of joy, he received a rejuvenating qi pill from the referee's hand, and walked off the field under the envious eyes of the people around him.
Huang Weiqing, who was relieved, got up dejectedly, and left the playground straight after getting off the field, not wanting to watch the connected games.
"Next game, Sun Jie, Qi Guangyuan!"
Two more people stepped out of the crowd and entered the playing field.
As the contestants came on the field one by one, the winners and losers were divided one after another, and the atmosphere of the scene gradually became high.
Especially when the first pneumatic fifth-layer cultivator appeared on the stage, the atmosphere on the playground climbed to the peak in an instant.
There were even screams of excitement in the crowd, as if fans were meeting idols.
Lin Shen was surprised at first why the people around him were so excited, but after seeing the faces of the people on the field, he suddenly realized.
The student who appeared on the stage was a boy, not tall, at most in his early seventies of one meter, with a thin body and a pale skin that could not be exposed to the sun all year round.
What do you say about her facial features, she looks like she can enter a women's bathhouse.
If it weren't for the boys' uniform, Lin Shen would definitely think that this was a beautiful girl at first sight.
In fact, there are quite a few boys among the people who shout excitedly.
"Who is this man?" Lin Shen turned his head to Zheng Hongsheng and asked.
Zheng Hongsheng said without thinking:
"He is what I told you, the only student among the contestants who was born in a Hanpu family, named Su Nian, from Class 12."
"Don't look at him with a thin appearance, it is said that he has already stepped into the fifth layer of pneumatic three months ago, and the Blazing Sun Palm has cultivated to the proficient realm early!"
"In this competition, he was the most popular contestant to win the first place!"
