Early in the morning, the morning bell of the Zhaoxian Pavilion rang again, and Mr. Peng Da summoned the sages. Murong Qianshan held the roster in his hand, and this time, only seventy-two Jinshi were counted.

Mr. Peng Da paced over and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the eighth martial arts examination will be held today, according to the announcement on the wall, everyone has seen the competition process, and it will be divided into three rounds of competitions to select eighteen candidates for the title of Emperor Kuiyuan, you must do your best." The rest of the unsuccessful candidates went to watch. Alright, let's go!"

After Mr. Peng Da finished speaking, he walked forward, and the wise men followed. When I arrived at Wukao Square, sixteen examiners had arrived, and the watchtower God was in the future.

Emperor Gou Chen asked Mr. Peng Da to rest, walked to the seventy-two jinshi, and said: "This eighth competition, two rounds will be held today, as for the competition procedures, everyone should know. In the first round of the competition, the personnel were all decided by ōu signing, and the three invigilators were also present yesterday. For the first time in the first round, there were six people in each group, two people in one group, and twelve examiners were the judges. Okay, I'm going to read the list now. ”

The Jinshi listened attentively. After Emperor Gou Chen finished reading the six people, they were taken away by an examiner, and in a moment, the twelve examiners took away all the jinshi and went to the designated place for the competition.

In the Piao Ranzi group, examiner Deng Zhong is the referee. Deng Zhong led the six people to the competition venue, spoke a few words, took out a note, and read the list of the competition matches: "The first iǎ group, the Red Tiger Ghost King vs. Master Tianji, the second iǎ group, Chu Piaoran vs. Wu Dreadnought, the third iǎ group, Jiuyangzi vs. Huangtangzi." Did all the Jinshi hear clearly?"

"I hear you. The six jinshi replied.

"Okay, please prepare and hurry up to compete. Deng Zhong said. "The candidates of the first iǎ group, the Red Tiger Ghost King, Master Tianji, let's get out. ”

The Red Tiger Ghost King and Master Tianji walked into the martial arts circle and began to compete, and Deng Zhong watched carefully from the sidelines, so that he could judge.

Piao Ranzi had no intention of watching the battle between the Red Tiger Ghost King and Master Tianji, and looked at the fearless son beside him, his heart was numb. Dreadnought glanced at Piaoranzi, but he looked calm.

In the next competition, the two will have to divide the winners and losers, the winners will then take the second test, and the losers will go to the second round of retest. Chu Piaoran knew that Wu Wei's spear was obtained from the true inheritance of the Huaguang Heavenly King, and he was able to draw with Nezha, and he was not sure that he would win him, so it was better to let him win and go to the second round of the repechage match by himself. He thought about it, yes, it was the idea.

Piao Ranzi stabilized his mind, and remembered the entrustment brought by the Zhenwu Emperor's Destiny Rat Dian, gritted his teeth, and had to go all out to fight for the second round of the competition.

Dreadnought moved two steps to Piaoranzi's side. Piao Ranzi took the opportunity to extend his thumb to him, which means, you win this time. Dreadnought shook his head slightly, and pointed his thumb at the fluttering child.

Piao Ranzi hurriedly shook his hand, anxious in his heart: he really let Du Ping guess it.

Last night, Du Ping came to visit again, and before Dreadnought went out to practice marksmanship, the four of them chatted and talked about tomorrow's martial arts exam.

Du Ping said: "Tomorrow, seventy-two Jinshi will compete, and the two will face off, and we will meet a member of the JĪNG Zhonghui, and we will definitely go all out to win." But what if your own people meet your own people?"

"It's such a coincidence. Recklessly. "Of the seventy-two Jinshi, fifty are members of the jīng Zhonghui, and only twenty-two are not members.

"Don't guard against 10,000, just in case. Du Ping said. "I did the math, ranked eighteen, and it took three exams to win all the way, and I was eliminated for the first time in the first round, and I had to take three more exams for a total of four exams, and I had to take two more exams for the second elimination in the first round, for a total of four exams. Whether it is to win all the way in the first round or to be eliminated in the first round, there will be at least three games, and in these three games, it is inevitable that we will meet. According to the rules of the competition, the winner must be decided, what should I do then?"

"What should I do?" recklessly listened for a long time, but still didn't understand, confused, "Fight, win with your ability!"

"I'm afraid that's not good. Du Ping shook his head. "There are twenty-two Jinshi who are not in the jīng Zhonghui, and I have lined them up according to the strength of their martial arts in the previous games, and there are about ten people with super skills. ”

"Which more than a dozen?" asked Piaoranzi.

"The three of you are all highly skilled, and you are expected to win the champion. Du Ping said.

"Brother Du, don't praise me. Piao Ranzi smiled. "Brother Mang, Wu Wei, martial arts are not bad, but I have no bottom. ”

"It's not praising you. "Du Ping is fighting with Emperor Guan that day, I can see that your martial arts foundation is good, and your internal strength is good, and you have fought more than 1,500 rounds, and your strength is not weak at all. Not under recklessness and fear. ”

"Yes, Brother Chu, we are counting on you to win the championship. Recklessly.

"In addition to the three of you, there are also Jiuhua Fairy, Huawaiye Immortal, Jiuyangzi, Infinite Ghost King, Red Tiger Ghost King, Murong Qianshan, Zhao Chang, Wang Sheng, Murong Qianshan, and Humble Jing Zhongmei. Du Ping counted them, plus the three of them, a total of thirteen.

"What about you? I think you should be counted as guilty. Piaoranzi said.

"My martial arts skills are mediocre, and I am very content to be admitted to the Jinshi. Du Ping said. "To tell the truth, I'm not as good as Sister Jing Zhong, she is Zhong Kui's sister, and she has the true inheritance of her brother-in-law. ”

"Brother Du is humble. Piaoranzi said.

"Tomorrow is the martial arts exam, it's not the time to be modest. Du Ping said. "We have to compete with Jīng Zhonghui for the champion, and now the important thing is to enter the top eighteen kuiyuan. ”

"Oh, I get it. Recklessly. "You're going to get all of us to get the Kui Yuan. ”

"Winning the Kuiyuan is still secondary, mainly for those who have the ability to compete for the champion, and get the Kuiyuan. Du Ping said. "I think there are three people who have the strength to compete for the champion, in addition to the three of you, there are also three such as Jiuhua Fairy, Jiuyangzi, and Huawaiye Immortal. ”

"Brother Du has a good analysis. Piaoranzi said. "But then again, what if we meet in the first three?"

"Then I have to give up the car to protect the handsome. Du Ping said.

"Who is the car and who is handsome? Piaoranzi said.

"The three of you, as well as Jiuyangzi, Jiuhua Fairy, and Huawaiye Immortal are handsome, and the remaining seven are Che, and the rest are all iǎ pawns. Du Ping said.

The three of them were silent.

"If you don't meet the ten jinshi mentioned, three of them will try their best to win. If I meet them, I'll let them back down. Du Ping said.

"Wouldn't there be any suspicion of fraud in doing this?" said Piaoranzi, expressing her worries.

"No, in fact, now the examiners have some bottom in their hearts, and they can roughly understand who is higher in martial arts. Du Ping said, and expressed his worries: "This is not what I am most worried about. ”

"What is Brother Du most worried about?"

"It's the third round of competition, if all the thirteen of you compete with each other in the third round of the final test, then all the previous efforts will be wasted. Du Ping said.

"Are you saying that, for example, we are all competing with our own people, and only half of them can be Kuiyuan?"

"Yes, in the third round of the final test, if you meet the Jiuhua Fairy, you can only leave one, then there is no way. Du Ping said.

"Yes, it is not easy to do the crucial competition in the end. Wu Weizi, who had never spoken, spoke at this time.

Piao Ranzi thought for a while, "I don't think there is a way to avoid it, so I have to resign myself to fate." ”

"There is another way that is not a way, that is, we all twenty-two of us will compete in the third round, and all of them will enter the final test, and there will be at least eleven left. Du Ping said.

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's impossible. Piao Ranzi smiled bitterly.

The four of them sat speechless for a moment, and finally Du Ping said: "It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." Three, take your leave. When Dreadnought sent out Du Ping, it was already late at night, and he went to practice marksmanship again.

I didn't want Du Ping's worries last night, and the first competition in the first round today made Piao Ranzi catch up - he met Fearless. A
