One hundred and twenty-eight chapters, twenty years of talents

On the morning of January 15, the weather was fine.

Since the day before yesterday, the heavy snow has been rising, just after last night's time stopped, today go out to see, all around the white expanse, under the morning glow, red makeup wrapped, very good-looking.

Qingshi went out energetically and came to the east gate of the college, he cherished the snow scene, and performed the wind shadow footwork all the way, without leaving half a footprint on the snow.

Although the agreed time had not yet arrived, seeing that Chen Tianye and Zheng Fangyi had already arrived, Qingshi stepped forward to greet the two of them, and saw that Elder Qi Changzheng had also arrived. This time, there are sixteen places in the Tianlong Continent, and the academy is three, it is Qingshi Chen Tianye and Zheng Fangyi, and the team leader is Elder Qi.

Although Zheng Fangyi has already graduated and become a teacher, he meets the requirements for the competition, so he is also designated as a contestant by the college.

After the three of them and Qi Changzheng finished saluting, the group of four people each rode the horses prepared by the academy, and walked in the snow towards the direction of the palace, and the venue of this competition was in Tianlong Square outside the main gate of the palace.

The delegation of the Heavenly Eagle Continent had arrived in Chaoge as early as a year ago, and was received by the Ministry of Rites and arranged in the State Guesthouse, although their calendar was the same as that of the Heavenly Dragon Continent, but they did not attach as much importance to the New Year's Festival as the Heavenly Dragon Empire, so the Ministry of Rites and even the royal family did not have special arrangements for them, allowing them to travel around.

The tournament begins on January 15, with 16 matches on the first day, 8 16-in-8 matches on the second day, 4 8-in-4 matches on the third day, two semi-finals on the fourth day, and the final on the last day.

The sixteen contestants representing the Tianlong Continent this time are all from their backgrounds, four from the royal family, three from the Tianlong Academy, three from the military, and one from each of the six major Chaoge families.

A group of four people came to the square, only to see that the huge square had already been arranged, and on the white ashlar ground in the center of the square, a square area about 20 zhang long was drawn with a thick red line, which was the competition area.

There are more than five zhang apart from the spectator seats around the competition area, and there is an area marked by green lines in the east and west compartments, and more than 20 wide seats with armrests are placed in each side, which is the rest area for both participants.

Around the competition area, a tall viewing platform was set up around it, except for the subjective platform on the north side, which is a three-step platform built of giant trees more than two feet high, the other three audience platforms have dozens of tiered seats. It seems to be able to accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, but now except for the north viewing platform, which is empty, the auditorium on the east, west and south sides is basically full.

Entering the rest area in the venue, Qingshi found that everyone else on his side had already arrived except for the royal family, including Qi Changzheng and the other three team leaders.

Most of the people knew each other, so they all smiled and said hello, Qingshi also knew several, Shen Feiyun of the Shen family, Xiang Wuji of the Xiang family are all excellent brothers, Duan Xiaoyu of the Duan family naturally needless to say, Qi Yu of the Qi family is also relatively familiar, but Zhou Wuhao of the Zhou family and Xu Bangguo of the Xu family do not know each other.

In addition, the three people in the military didn't know each other, but these three people knew Shen Feiyun, Qi Yu and others, and they all greeted each other.

Chen Tianye was recognized by everyone, and after greeting for a while, he pulled Qingshi to the three military representatives, and said with a loud smile: "A few big brothers and sisters have always been good!" ”

The three of them greeted with a smile, and they all greeted Mo Sihai, and when they heard the tone, it turned out that they had all studied in Tianlong Academy as a military special student, so they naturally recognized Dean Mo's high feet.

"Little Uncle," Chen Tianye said with a smile, "Let me introduce you to these three big brothers and sisters of the military, this is Brother Mu Ziming, this is Sister Xin Leiqiong, and this is Brother Glenn." ”

Bluestone and the three of them saluted each other.

Glenn is obviously a barbarian, he looks five big and three thick, and he said angrily when he opened his mouth and said, "This brother is surnamed Xiao Mingshishu?" It looks a bit bookish! ”

Chen Tianye laughed and said: "This is bluestone, cyan blue, stone of stone, he is my little uncle!" ”

Mu Ziming was shocked and said, "I heard me right, right? Amano, are you saying that this bluestone brother is your uncle? ”

Not only Mu Ziming, Xin Leiqiong and Glenn were also shocked, but at the same time, other people around were also shocked, Chen Tianye spoke loudly, including Shen Feiyun, Xiang Wuji and everyone around him.

"That's right!" Chen Tianye said, "Qingshi is the closed disciple of my ancestor Ou Changzhi, my master's junior brother, and naturally my junior uncle!" It's been a few years since I entered our Xuanmen. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone around couldn't help but be stunned, staring at Qingshi with wide eyes.

Qingshi smiled slightly and did not speak.

After a while, Shen Feiyun walked over and patted Qingshi on the shoulder, shook his head and smiled: "I always thought that you would be accepted as a disciple by Dean Mo, but I didn't expect you to become a disciple of Dean Ou Lao a long time ago, this is really ......."

"Brother is so good!" Xiang Wuji also walked over and patted Qingshi with a smile, "It's just too low-key, why didn't you tell me earlier!" ”

"That's it!" Duan Xiaoyu also said with a smile, "Brother Qingshi is still keeping it a secret!" Yanran smiled and turned to Chen Tianye and said: "I see that Brother Tianye has always been obedient to Brother Qingshi, and I thought it was to take care of the little junior brother, but I didn't expect it to be only the little uncle who is the head of the horse!" ”

Chen Tianye smiled awkwardly.

"Thanks to Master's mistaken love," Qingshi naturally wanted to be modest, "I didn't mean to deceive everyone, but my own cultivation was too low and I didn't want to lose Master's reputation." Today's identity is also on the orders of the teacher, indicating that this battle not only represents the academy, but also represents the meaning of Xuanmen. After speaking, he looked at Shen Feiyun, Zheng Fangyi, Qi Changzheng and others and nodded in apology.

After understanding the identity of Qingshi, Wu Dingshan, the leader of the military team, and Shen Qiangfeng, the leader of the six major families, also came over to talk to Qingshi, and their expressions were more respectful, and they did not dare to regard themselves as elders. Shen Storm is Shen Feiyun's uncle, a master of the Immortal Pill Realm, and he also has an official position and title.

Even Zhou Wuhao of the Zhou family and Xu Bangguo of the Xu family also took the initiative to come over to greet Qingshi, and Qingshi was neither humble nor arrogant.

At this time, the five members of the royal family came over, the leader of the team Jiang Zhenli Qingshi did not know, but the four contestants knew two, it was Jiang Chenying and Jiang Chenliang, seeing them coming, several team leaders had to greet the people of their own team, and came to greet the royal family one by one.

Qingshi Chen Tianye Zheng Fangyi and the three of them finally stepped forward with Qi Changzheng, and after some introduction, Qingshi Fang knew that one of the other two royal players was Jiang Chenlian, and the other was Jiang Zhenyun, this Jiang Zhenyun seemed to be younger than Qingshi, but his generation was a generation higher than Jiang Chenliang and others.

Suddenly, three penetrating horns sounded on the north viewing platform, and the audience around them let out bursts of cheers, Qingshi raised his eyes and saw that the subjective platform covered with a big red carpet was already full of people on the lower two steps of the platform, and nearly a hundred wide seats were already full of people.

The horn sounded again, this time with a long one, and after the horn stopped, a loud male voice said in a voice that could be heard by the whole audience: "His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Empress of the Great Heavenly Dragon Kingdom have arrived!" ”

As the cheers around sounded, the horn sounded again, and I saw a large group of people flying from the direction of the palace, the first one had a noble temperament, short beard and black hair, wearing a bright yellow robe and wearing a golden dragon crown, and a woman beside her had a graceful face, wearing a purple and gold robe and wearing a jade phoenix crown, it was the emperor and the queen.

After the emperor and empress flew to the podium, they each waved around, and then walked to their respective thrones and sat down, followed by dozens of gorgeously dressed men and women, standing on both sides.

The male voice of Shicai continued: "In this competition, His Royal Highness Prince Zheng of the Sky Eagle Empire is leading a team to come in person, let us extend a warm welcome to His Royal Highness Prince Zheng and the friends of the Sky Eagle Country delegation!" ”

The cheers rang out again all around, naturally much smaller than when the emperor and his wife appeared. In the center of the viewing platform on the second floor, a tall man with a long beard raised his hand to greet the surroundings, which was naturally Prince Zheng of the Eagle Dynasty.

The male voice continued: "Welcome to the 20-year Young Talent Competition of the Tianlong Continent and the Tianying Continent, this competition is hosted by the Great Tianlong Kingdom of the Tianlong Continent, I am the host Qi Huang, now please invite the contestants from both sides to appear!" ”

The host was also standing on the subjective stage, and then flew to the middle of the arena with two women, this is a middle-aged man with a brocade coat and a short beard, tall and dignified, Qingshi knows that he is Qi Changzheng's father, Qi Yu's grandfather, and the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Qi Guogong Qi Huang.

Next, 32 players from the two continents appeared on the stage, Qi Huang's two female assistants introduced their names one by one, Qi Huang read out the rules of the competition, and said a lot of games to show the demeanor of young talents from the two continents, showing the friendly diplomatic relations between the two continents, and a series of glamorous official words.

Subsequently, the two female assistants reported the results of the draw for the first round of the match. Finally, Qi Huang asked His Majesty the Emperor to announce the start of the competition, and after Jiang Yulong spoke and announced, the competition would officially begin.

In the first round, sixteen Tianlong Continent players and sixteen Tianying Continent players played one-on-one, but the specific opponent was determined by lot, and Qingshi's opponent was a man named Ma Yiwei, who was ranked in the eleventh game.

The first person to appear in the Tianlong Continent was Xiang Wuji, his opponent was called Long Dongping, and the referee was a cold-faced old man. The two exchanged names and agreed to use weapons, and the referee announced the start of the game, and the two immediately went to war.

Qingshi often and Xiang Wuji study the formation, but he doesn't know much about his martial arts cultivation, at this time, looking at him fighting, he knows that his combat power is excellent, and he sees that the true qi cultivation is the high section of Yuandan, and the weapon is a long-handled straight knife, the handle of the knife is half the length of the blade, his knife technique is very unique, sometimes holding the knife with both hands, the slashing power is full, and the momentum is mighty; Sometimes holding a knife with one hand, the stabbing moves are exquisite, agile and changeable, and in addition to the attributes of earth, it also has the attributes of water and wind.

Long Dongping's true qi cultivation is also a high-level Yuan Dan, making a pair of iron whips, strong and heavy, taking a fierce path, and the soil metal is obvious.

The two fought quickly after a hundred moves, Long Dongping slowly seemed really angry, Xiang Wuji began to gain the upper hand, and after more than a dozen moves, Long Dongping found that it was not good and began to want to change his skills and skills, but he didn't think that Xiang Wuji's knife technique was impermeable, and he didn't leave a chance to breathe to Long Dongping, and Long Dongping couldn't do it when he wanted to change his moves several times, and after a few moves, he already understood that the opponent's strength was above him, so he shouted: "I admit defeat!" Jumping away a few steps and no longer making a move, Xiang Wuji put away his knife and stood still: "Agreed!" ”。 This first battle was won by the Celestial Dragon Continent.

In the next three battles, Mu Ziming, Xin Leiqiong and Xu Bangguo, who played on the Tianlong Continent, were all defeated. In the fifth game, Jiang Chenliang won, in the sixth game, Jiang Chenlian lost, in the seventh and eighth games, Zhou Wuhao Zheng Fangyi lost and won, and in the ninth and tenth games, Jiang Zhenyun and Qi Yu won and lost, so far, in the first ten games, Tianlong Continent won four and lost six. Both sides were restrained, and no one was seriously injured. Then it's bluestone to play.

Qingshi walked steadily into the center of the battlefield and stood still, only to see that his opponent Ma Yiwei was a tall and beautiful man with a pale face, handsome but slightly thin. And Qingshi is tall and straight, with clear and handsome eyebrows, and as soon as he appeared, he caused cheers from the audience in the Tianlong Continent, especially the female audience.

Ma Yiwei hugged his fists and said: "Heavenly Eagle Empire Qingshan Sect, Ma Yiwei!" ”

"Tianlong Academy of Tianlong Continent, Xuanmen Bluestone!"

"Do you use a blade or a fist?" Ma Yiwei said.

"Blades with swords," Qingshi said, "fists and feet are also fine, horse friends are guests from afar, you choose!" ”

"Good!" Ma Yiwei said, "Then let's compare fists and feet!" ”

"Listen to me," Qingshi said, "please! ”

The referee signals the game to begin.

"Qingshan doesn't move, be careful!" Ma Yiwei broke off with a snort, and stepped out with both palms to slap the bluestone.

Qingshi unfolded the fire fist method, and it was a fierce flame that hit the sky hard, and the fists and palms intersected, and the two of them shook their bodies slightly, and then they each showed their fists and palms to fight.

Qingshi has studied a lot of boxing, but there are very few real cultivators, except for the Thor Fist that has only recently begun to practice, the highest level and the most familiar is the Agni Fist, at this time, the Bluestone Agni Fist is rigorous and moderate, both offensive and defensive, and it is difficult to distinguish between time and Ma Yiwei.

That Ma Yiwei's true qi cultivation is the eighth stage of the Yuan Dan Realm, three stages higher than Qingshi, and his palm technique Qingshan Fudao is a Xuan-level high-grade martial art, and it is also higher than Qingshi's Fire Fist Technique, but after dozens of moves, he can't have the upper hand at all.

Ma Yiwei felt a little puzzled, it was just that the advantages of true qi cultivation and martial arts could not play a role, which could be explained that the opponent had a better grasp of martial arts and a more ingenious use of true qi.

However, Ma Yiwei felt that his greater advantage was the quality of the true qi, his Qingshan Immovable Palm was driven by the Yin attribute true qi, and the Yin attribute true qi was a high attribute, which was obviously stronger than the Five Elements Fire attribute true qi, Qingshi used a fire fist, and his fists and feet carried a blazing wave of qi, which was obviously driven by the fire attribute true qi, but his fist strength was actually overpowering his palm strength, which made him incomprehensible.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them have exchanged fists and palms for more than 100 moves, and the blazing wind mixed with Qingshi's fists and feet is getting stronger and stronger, which has obviously overwhelmed Ma Yiwei's cold palm wind, Ma Yiwei secretly thinks that he has an advantage in any aspect, but the actual combat effect is gradually declining, and under the puzzle, he suddenly changed his move and used another martial art, Phantom Claw.

As soon as this skill came out, Ma Yiwei's figure suddenly became weird and floating, he turned his palm into a claw, and his moves became extremely weird, and he no longer had a hard time with Qingshi. In this way, Qingshi's fist strength has nowhere to focus, and he can't suppress his yin energy.

The reason why Qingshi can gain the upper hand is very simple, his Agni Fist is not triggered by fire attribute true qi, but by two kinds of true qi, yin and yang, yang attribute true qi can be regarded as an upgraded version of fire attribute, so there is no problem with using it to promote fire fist, while yin attribute true qi is hidden and not obvious, which not only offsets Ma Yiwei's yin attribute true qi, but also complements Yang attribute true qi to have a more suppressive advantage.

At this time, Ma Yiwei changed his moves, and Qingshi also improvised to meet the enemy with a set of Tianlong Fist, which is the basic boxing method of the Martial Arts Institute of Tianlong Academy, and there is no requirement for true qi attributes, which belongs to the martial arts that every student must learn.

Therefore, as soon as Qingshi's punch came out, the players of the Tianlong Continent, including many viewers, felt incredible. However, Qingshi's boxing technique is extremely solid, although it is a basic boxing technique, it is used with a strong bearing, and there is no sign of defeat.

In fact, Qingshi didn't want to use this boxing technique, but his fist palm martial arts skills were too few, and it was obviously inappropriate to use the Fire Fist, but it was too ostentatious to use the Thor Fist, so he reluctantly used this fist.

However, there are also advantages to using this kind of fist technique that does not have the attribute of true qi, that is, Qingshi can perform the Xuanjin hand martial arts at the same time, and use the five elements true qi to urge the two martial arts, and continue to deal with the opponent.

Ma Yiwei saw that the power of the martial arts used by Qingshi was obviously not as good as the Fire Fist, and his spirit lifted up and accelerated his body moves and attack speed, and Qingshi was not in a hurry and also launched the Wind Three Absolute Footwork to fight against it, and for a while, the figures of the two were so fast that most of the audience couldn't see the battle situation clearly.

After a dozen more moves, Qingshi felt that there was no need to consume it any longer, Ma Yiwei's strength had basically been figured out, and he should be able to defeat him at any time.

Qingshi has a lot of high-level martial arts, and there are countless hole cards, but Ma Yiwei has already used his own tricks. Qingshi wanted to defeat Ma Yiwei to end the battle, and Ma Yiwei believed that he had won.

Ma Yiwei's claw method is faster, and the move is not far from the key point of Qingshi, Qingshi simply punches directly, pretending to close the fist and not giving him a claw to grab his arm, Ma Yiwei was happy in his heart, and shouted: "Go!" "The phantom yin claw erupted, and it was necessary to insert five fingers into the bluestone arm to break bones and tendons.

Unexpectedly, Qingshi's arm was like steel and iron bones, Ma Yiwei's five fingers could not be inserted at all, and in shock, Ma Yiwei had to exert his strength to insert it again, where would Qingshi give him a chance, the wind under his feet was launched, and he stepped forward, and his right arm shook and bounced off Ma Yiwei's phantom claw, followed by an elbow fist that hit Ma Yiwei's abdomen.

Xuanjin's hand was stronger than gold and iron, like an iron rod hitting Ma Yiwei's body, Ma Yiwei was in pain, flew out upside down and fell to the ground more than a foot away, and it took him half a day to get up.

He was secretly lucky, and found that he was not injured, so he immediately clenched his fists and waved at Qingshi and said, "Xuanjin hand!" Good martial arts, good tactics! After a slight pause, he said, "Thank you for your mercy!" ”

Of course, Qingshi didn't win by tactics, and he didn't refute, but said quietly: "Accept!" ”

The referee declares Bluestone the winner.

Next, Glenn and Shen Feiyun both won, but then there was a wonderful duel between women, Duan Xiaoyu, the first inheritor of the Heavenly Dragon Empire's Auxiliary State Mansion, faced Princess Sheng Yinghua of the Royal Family of the Heavenly Eagle Empire.

Duan Xiaoyu is one of the top ten beauties of Tianlong Academy, her figure and appearance are impeccable, that Sheng Yinghua is extraordinary, it is no worse than Duan Xiaoyu, Duan Xiaoyu is dressed in red, and there is a heroic spirit in her beauty, Sheng Yinghua is dressed in white and Shengxue, delicate and refined, two points less heroic than Duan Xiaoyu and three points more soft.

The two stood in the center of the battlefield at the same time, and their slim demeanor made the atmosphere of the entire arena boil. The battle between the two is also extremely good-looking, Sheng Yinghua makes long and short double swords, the long sword mainly attacks and the short sword is mainly defended, the long sword is elegant and agile, and the short sword is fierce and changeable; Duan Xiaoyu used a sword and shield, the sword in his right hand was long and short, and the round shield not only sometimes grew spikes and sometimes serrated teeth, but sometimes flew out of his hand to attack the enemy and flew back into his hand on his own.

The two of them are also light and elegant, moving extremely fast and wide, and leaping up and down, like two butterflies flying up and down, the huge battlefield seems to be a little small, the audience is feasting their eyes, and the cheers continue to sound for a while.

Looking at the second daughter in the field, Qingshi thought about it in his heart, Duan Xiaoyu had always been in love with him and had confessed, but he always regarded her as a sister, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, but the strange thing was that looking at Sheng Yinghua who was dressed in white and Shengxue, Qingshi had a sense of déjà vu, as if she was the goddess of his dreams, but his intuition told him that he was definitely not a Si person, but there were only three points of similarity.

Qingshi shook his head, secretly laughing that the goddess of his dreams may be too difficult to find, most of them really exist in dreams, but he wondered when he had the shadow of a perfect goddess in his heart.

was thinking about it, only to hear Zheng Fangyi beside him exclaim, Qingshi raised his eyes, and saw that the two people on the stage had already stopped fighting with their swords, Duan Xiaoyu's right hand sword fell to the ground, and blood was dripping from his forearm, obviously losing.

Sheng Yinghua said: "Sister, I'm sorry, it's because I don't have anything on hand!" ”

Duan Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "My sister has already shown mercy to her subordinates, it's because my skills are not as good as others, my sister is very capable, I am convinced!" ”

Sheng Yinghua stepped forward and took out a white silk scarf from his arms to bandage Duan Xiaoyu's wounds, with their cultivation, this little flesh wound naturally does not need to be like this, Sheng Yinghua's move is obviously to sympathize with Duan Xiaoyu and express kindness. The two looked at each other and smiled, and the four hands pulled together.

The referee declared Yinghua victorious, but the audience cheered the two beauties.

In the last two matches, Jiang Chenying and Chen Tianye both won relatively easily.

At this point, the first day of the game was over, and the Tianlong Continent had a record of nine wins and seven losses, and most of the audience was satisfied.

Jiang Yulong and his wife only watched a few battles, and after Jiang Chenliang won the fifth game, they retired and left, and they will not come back to the field until the final.
