Chapter Ninety-Five: Seven Firsts, Famous in the Capital
Only by really fighting each other, Zhu Jingtian can really feel Lu Fan's strength, which is much stronger than him.
This is still the case when the other side has fought many times in a row.
Otherwise, the gap will only widen.
Reluctantly cheering up, Zhu Jingtian swung his sword again and attacked Lu Fan.
He knew that his strength was not strong and he could not take it, so he could only use the subtlety of swordsmanship to deal with the other party.
I don't want to win, I just want to support it for a while and don't lose too ugly.
"Huh!"
Zhu Jingtian unfolded the swordsmanship and completely brought out the characteristics of the heavy sword.
Open and close.
Each sword is quite imposing, and it goes straight to Lu Fan's vital point.
Lu Fan just swung his sword at will, which seemed to be an understatement, but every time he swung his sword, he could easily defuse Zhu Jingtian's sword moves, and he still had the strength to fight back.
After a few moves, he took the initiative.
With only sword moves, he is also confident that he can win against the other party.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them made more than a dozen moves.
Zhu Jingtian was completely passive, blocking left and right, and was in a hurry.
"Poof!"
Lu Fan stabbed Zhu Jingtian's wrist with a sword, and with a bang, the sword fell to the ground.
"Good!"
The scene burst into cheers again.
"Lu Fansheng!"
As the referee announced, Zhu Jingtian picked up the sword, didn't care about the bleeding wrist, and arched his hand to Lu Fan, "Admire!" β
"Take!"
Lu Fan said politely.
"In the next competition, Lu Fan will play Sui Yang, and two players will be invited to the stage."
As soon as the referee's words fell, Sui Yang stood on the competition platform, he glanced at Zhu Jingtian and asked, "Are you okay?" β
"It's fine."
Zhu Jingtian patted Sui Yang gently, "Come on!" β
With that, he turned around and stepped down.
Sui Yang turned around and faced Lu Fan.
At this time, Lu Fan had already put down his sword and faced Sui Yang empty-handed.
This one is more than punches.
"Let's get started."
Sui Yang didn't want to give Lu Fan time to rest, so he took the lead in punching and attacking Lu Fan.
There is still a trace of luck in his heart, maybe Lu Fan is already at the end of his crossbow, maybe he can make a big bargain.
"Okay."
Lu Fan punched almost at the same time, but the last one came first, and in Sui Yang's stunned eyes, he slammed into the opponent's fist.
"Boom!"
Sui Yang's whole body flew out, and he fell hard under the competition platform, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
He lay on his back, his face pale and his heart full of frustration.
There is also a deep sense of frustration and powerlessness.
There is no comparison.
The strength of the two is not on the same level at all, no matter how much the other party consumes, he will never be an opponent.
It's really strong!
Terrible, even desperate!
"Lu Fansheng!"
The referee ended the game in time.
The gap is too big.
"Good!"
The crowd cheered.
Li Yongtai clenched his fists even more excitedly.
Six firsts.
There is still one last body method left, as long as Lu Fan can win, he can get the first place in seven items.
With such a record, he didn't dare to think about it.
"In the next competition, Lu Fan will play against Meng Yu, and two players will be invited to the stage."
As soon as the referee spoke, a flagpole had been erected on the stage, slightly thicker than the mouth of the bowl, about 100 meters high, with a flag hanging on it.
It was the banner of the Dragon Shadow Guard.
"Lu Fan!"
"Meng Yu!"
"Come on!"
In the cheers of everyone, Meng Yu stood on the competition platform, separated from Lu Fan by a flagpole.
"Game on!"
As the referee announced, Lu Fan jumped and rose into the air.
Many people's hearts, with his jump, instantly mentioned their throats and eyes, and they were hanging in the air, extremely nervous.
The last single competition, but you must win it.
Then they all lived.
Don't be surprised.
After all, the body method is not as good as other individual competitions, and relatively speaking, it is the least affected by strength.
Therefore, before the final result comes out, Lu Fan's supporters are still a little worried.
"Rub!"
Meng Yu also took off at the same time, his body as light as a bird, and flew towards the flagpole.
Both of them landed on the flagpole almost at the same time, kicked their feet at the same time, and continued to fly upwards with their strength.
"Rub it!"
Lu Fan and Meng Yu's bodies continued to rise, and their steps were almost the same.
There is no winner or loser.
"Come on!"
"Come on, Lu Fan!"
"Come on, Meng Yu!"
The stands were extremely noisy, and the cheers for the two came and went.
Even Lee Yong-tae began to get nervous.
He clenched his fists and shouted cheers to cheer for Lu Fan.
Seeing that Lu Fan and Meng Yu were getting closer and closer to the top of the flagpole, but they never pulled their positions away, everyone was even more nervous.
Lu Fan was not in a hurry.
He hadn't started to exert his strength yet.
The back-to-back battles did take a lot of toll on him, but it didn't stop him from winning this match.
"Rub!"
Lu Fan stepped on the flagpole and kicked hard, and his body rose into the air again.
Meng Yu was almost parallel to him.
When the two of them were about to run out of strength, Lu Fan did not use the flagpole again, but twisted his body, and his whole body was raised again.
In an instant, he surpassed Meng Yu and came to the top of the flagpole.
He reached out and jerked up the flag, clutching it tightly in his hand.
"Good!"
The scene burst into cheers and shook the sky.
Li Yongtai stood up even more excitedly, waved his fists vigorously, and applauded loudly.
Seven firsts!
Such a feat actually appeared in the Zhennan Army.
He, the commander of the Dragon Shadow Guard, not only has a light on his face, but also has great benefits.
Li Chengan on the side had a cold face and was unwilling.
Today, for the Dragon Shadow Guard of the Imperial Forest Army, it can be regarded as a fiasco.
I didn't even get a first place.
He, the commander of the Dragon Shadow Guard, is to blame.
Unexpectedly, in such an important competition, he was crushed by Li Yongtai.
No!
It was severely humiliated.
I'll have to find a way to get it back.
"Good!"
Liu Zhi also stood up, raised his hands high, and cheered for Lu Fan.
He never expected that by chance, he would be able to make such an excellent friend as Lu Fan.
not only used his strength to smooth out the gap between the two of them, but even made him proud!
The willow eyebrows on the side were silent, their brows furrowed, and they fell into deep thought.
The children of those families also behaved differently.
Some applauded and cheered for Lu Fan, and some looked calm.
Of course, many more have a sad face.
Lu Fan's birth made them feel a hint of threat.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Afternoon.
The post house dining room.
Eight large round tables, all full.
The Dragon Shadow Guards of all border armies are there, including the eight commanders.
Every table was filled with food and drink.
The wine bowls in front of everyone were full, and everyone was excited.
Although many people didn't get the results, they all felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Because they witnessed the birth of a miracle.
Seven competitions, seven firsts!
Such an achievement, shocking the past and the present!
"I'll start with a few words."
Li Yongtai stood up and looked around at everyone, "I'm really happy and excited today. Lu Fan really competed and won seven first places in one fell swoop. β
"This is not only the honor of our Zhennan Army, but also the honor of all our border troops."
"After all, we've been pressed by the Imperial Guards for too long, and today we finally have a chance to raise our eyebrows."
"Come, let's raise a glass together."
As he spoke, Li Yongtai picked up the wine bowl, "To Lu Fan!" β
"To Lu Fan!"
Everyone picked up the wine bowl together and signaled to Lu Fan.
"Thank you."
Lu Fan stood up and responded to everyone.
"Cheers!"
Everyone craned their necks and drank the whole bowl of wine.
"Lu Fan, congratulations."
"It's really the face of our Zhennan Army."
"That's amazing!"
Cao Ning, Meng Ran, Song Yu and others, who were at the same table, all cast admiring glances at Lu Fan and praised him a few words by the way.
"Lu Fan, I'll toast you alone."
After eating a few bites of food, Qin Yu was the first to get up and toast Lu Fan, "To be honest, before today, I was still a little unconvinced by you. But today, you have impressed me with your performance, and I am completely convinced by you. β
"Me too."
"Convincing."
Meng Ran and the others also chimed in.
In Li Yongtai's eyes, he was very gratified.
can convince Qin Yu, even he may not be able to do it.
But Lu Fan did it.
This is the most important potential of being an officer, serving the public.
It seems that even if Long Yingwei is handed over to Lu Fan in the future, it will be no problem at all.
"Lu Fan, I also toast you."
Ye Wuchen also stood up, faced Lu Fan, and said with a smile: "Although you won me today, I don't want to admit defeat yet, wait for the comprehensive competition, let's meet again, and I will definitely win you then!" β
"Good!"
Lu Fan responded with a smile: "It should be like this!" On the way to cultivate martial arts, you should have chased after me, and a momentary victory or defeat is nothing, we all have to look forward. β
"That's right."
Everyone nodded at the same time.
"Lu Fan, I'll toast you."
Qin Chuan came over with a wine bowl, "Thank you for your mercy today, so I wasn't injured." β
"Where?"
Lu Fan smiled: "It's your strength that is strong enough, I just won you by luck." β
"Don't be modest."
Qin Chuan came to Lu Fan's side and said, "If it weren't for the mercy of your subordinates, I would definitely end up with those people in the Royal Forest Army, and you didn't see it, they were more seriously injured than the other." β
"Haha!"
The crowd laughed.
"Well wounded!"
"Let them do the math again."
"And look down on people."
"Is this time alright?"
"Let Lu Fan teach a lesson alone."
"You deserve it!"
Cao Ning and the others had already had opinions about the Imperial Forest Army, and took the opportunity to vent it.
"Come on, let's have a drink together."
Lu Fan picked up the wine bowl and said, "Don't salute alone, I can't stand so many of you." β
"Haha."
Everyone laughed, got up at the same time, and picked up the wine bowl, "Cheers!" β
"Cheers!"
β¦β¦
The capital at this time.
Today's jousting is being discussed almost everywhere.
"Have you heard? Today, in the Dragon Shadow Guard competition, someone won the first place in seven items. β
"Of course I heard about it, I also know that that person's name is Lu Fan, from the Zhennan Army."
"Yes, his name is Lu Fan, and he is really a genius."
"It's not just a genius, it's a peerless genius!"
"Indeed, in the entire capital, I'm afraid there are few young people who can compare to him."
"That's nature."
"That's amazing!"
Not only the common people, landlords and wealthy businessmen, but also the official eunuchs, the families of the families, and the various sects, are also talking about Lu Fan.
Even in the palace, Lu Fan's name was mentioned again and again.
Through today's battle, too many people know Lu Fan's name.
Together with today's record, it was touted by everyone.
This battle can be described as a famous shock to the capital!
It is known that a peerless genius has emerged from the Dragon Shadow Guard.
Although he came from a humble background, he relied on his own efforts to trample a group of family and sect disciples under his feet.
Many people from poor backgrounds have been inspired by this.
I secretly swore in my heart that they would also be like Lu Fan, get ahead, and glorify their ancestors!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The next day, in the morning.
After breakfast, Lu Fan had been meditating in his room.
The comprehensive joust takes place three days later, so he has a few days to spare.
It's a good time to take the opportunity to consolidate your strength.
Yesterday's competition benefited him a lot.
Especially with Ye Wuchen and Yan Qing's tricks, even if it was him, he also benefited a lot.
Presumably the same is true of those two.
Open the Properties panel.
Name: Lu Fan
Lifespan: 17/770
Power: 139.87
Dexterity: 51.16
Mental Power: 50.24
Physical strength: 134.61
Repair: four products
Exercises: Vientiane Demon Suppression Skill is complete
Martial arts: The six imperial gods are perfect, the thousands of hammers are perfect, the gods and demons are perfect, and the nine turns of the golden body are perfect
Assignable stat points: 150.83
In more than two months, Lu Fan's various attributes have improved.
Now his true strength can defeat the master of the second-grade peak cultivation.
Even in the face of a first-grade beginner powerhouse, he has the power to fight.
But it's hard to say whether the winner will be or loser.
After all, the exercises and martial arts that you have learned are not used, even if they are also first-level cultivation, there are also superior and inferior.
But Lu Fan was not worried.
He also has 150 assignable attributes.
When it was really a last resort, he could add all these 150 attributes to his strength.
The strength will skyrocket in an instant.
At that time, even if he encounters a peak powerhouse, he is not false.
Go on!
Lu Fan closed his eyes and re-entered the cultivation state.
Ye Wuchen on the side was still lying down, closing his eyes and recuperating.
I don't know how long it took.
Lu Fan opened his eyes, got up and got out of bed.
He heard someone outside calling him, as if it was Liu Zhi's voice.
When he walked out of the post house, he saw that it was Liu Zhi, who was standing outside the post house, waving to him.
Just a wagon today.
Except for the teenager who was driving, there was no other entourage.
"Congratulations, Lu Fan."
Liu Zhi bowed his hand to Lu Fan from afar, "Yesterday, my sixth sister dragged me away, and I didn't have time to congratulate you." β
"Thank you."
Lu Fan smiled and said, "It seems that you are quite afraid of your sixth sister." β
"I'm too lazy to bother with her."
Liu Zhi pursed her lips, "The main reason is that she has a bad temper and is really crazy, even I can't stand it." β
"Really?"
Lu Fan joked: "Are you afraid that she will beat you?" β
"Haha!"
Liu Zhi was told that he was in his heart, and laughed awkwardly, "I really hope that someone can subdue my sister now, so that she can also taste the taste of being cleaned up." β
"That's not easy to find."
Lu Fan shook his head slightly.
Although Liu Zhi once said that his sixth sister Liu Mei is a second-grade cultivator.
But even if it is a second grade, Liu Mei's strength cannot be underestimated.
Just because she was born in a super family and was a closed disciple of the head of the Nebula Sect, the martial arts she learned must be extraordinary.
Just look at Ye Wuchen.
Liu Mei is a master of two schools, and he will only be stronger than Ye Wuchen.
"It's really not easy to find."
Liu Zhi glanced at Lu Fan and said, "By the way, I came to you today to invite you to my house as a guest." β
"Originally, I said that I would wait until you finished the big competition before I would celebrate your achievements."
"But today, I had to advance."
"It's my father who wants to see you."
Liu Zhi whispered: "He specially instructed me to invite you to his house no matter what today." β
"Huh?"
Lu Fan was surprised.
He has long known the identity of Liu Zhi's father and is the patriarch of the Liu family.
At the same time, he was also the former prime minister of the Great Zhou.
It seems to be called Yanagisawa?
It's just that because her daughter became a queen, she was afraid of arousing suspicion, so she took the initiative to resign, and now she is idle at home.
But no one dared to despise this person.
Not only because of the identity of the head of the Liu family, but also because this person's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and many of them are important ministers of the imperial court.
If you add the identity of the previous prime minister, you can be called the most powerful in the world!
Why do you want to see such a big man?
also took the initiative to send Liu Zhi to invite?
Lu Fan was very puzzled.
Even if he won seven firsts in a row, he still couldn't compare with Yanagisawa.
After all, he's just a creep.
Regardless of identity or status, he and Yanagisawa are far apart.
"I'm unprepared, I'm afraid it's okay to go empty-handed?"
Lu Fan didn't really want to go.
"It's fine."
Liu Zhi smiled: "My father said, you just come empty-handed, don't bring anything, otherwise he will not be happy." β
"Okay."
Lu Fan could only agree.
After all, Liu Zhi came to invite in person, and he was so sincere, if he didn't go, it would be too faceless.
It just so happens that he doesn't need to practice much now, so it's okay to go and see him sooner.
Save yourself the trouble later.
"Please."
Liu Zhi smiled and pulled up Lu Fan's sleeves, and when the two came to the carriage, someone had already lifted the door curtain and waited aside.
After the two got into the carriage, the young man lowered the curtain, sat down in front of the carriage, picked up the whip and shook it gently.
"Drive!"
The golden carriage was gone.
Outside Yanagifu.
Lu Fan and Liu Zhi got out of the carriage and walked into the gate side by side.
Soon came to the main courtyard, and the two entered the living room.
There was a man sitting in the middle of the hall.
He looked to be no more than fifty years old, and his body was slightly fat, and he couldn't tell how tall he was when he sat there, but he shouldn't be short.
That face is not fat, and despite his beard, he can still see that his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Liu Zhi.
Liu Zeming, the former first minister, is also the head of the Liu family.
"I've seen Uncle Liu!"
Lu Fan thought about it, it was better to meet as Liu Zhi's friend.
"Please take a seat."
Liu Zeming bowed slightly, and smiled at Lu Fan, "The virtuous nephew is really a talent, and his appearance is extraordinary." β
"Uncle has won the prize."
Lu Fan said politely.
The maid came and poured him tea.
"I invited you here today, I don't mean anything else, I just want to meet you and get to know you."
Liu Zeming smiled: "After all, today's capital, there are people talking about you everywhere, and I also have curiosity to see what this legendary person looks like?" β
"It makes you laugh."
Lu Fan dealt with it casually.
"What's that?"
Liu Zeming's face turned grim, and he said: "It's a good thing that young people have strength, and I can only feel relieved that a genius like you can emerge in the Dragon Shadow Guard." Also, it is his honor for Liu Zhi to be friends with you, you have to take him well in the future, if only he could be as good as you. β
"Don't dare."
Lu Fan said modestly: "Actually, Liu Zhi is already very good, I can't compare." β
"That's good!"
Yanagisawa praised: "It's rare to see a young man as modest as you. Liu Zhi really didn't mistake you, not only has strength, but also is humble and low-key, even if he achieves such results, he is not the slightest complacent. β
"My strength is really nothing, I know it in my heart."
Lu Fan was really not modest this time, that's what he thought.
After all, he is only a fourth-grade cultivator now.
In his opinion, at least he had to reach the innate realm in order to relax a little.
At that point, perhaps he will be able to be fearless of anyone.
For now, it's better to keep a low profile.
We can't relax the improvement of strength.
"I heard you're seventeen years old."
Liu Zeming picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then asked unhurriedly: "I don't know if you can get married?" β
"Not yet."
Lu Fan said truthfully.
"Do you have someone in mind?"
Liu Zeming asked again: "If so, which girl is it?" β
"Not at all."
Lu Fan was a little confused, thinking to himself why the other party asked about this?
Do you want to be a matchmaker for him?
No way?
The dignified prime minister, how can he care about such a thing?
"You're not too young, you have to hurry."
Liu Zeming put down the teacup and said with a smile: "When I was so old with you, I would have been married a long time ago." β
"There's no hurry."
Lu Fan hurriedly said, "Men should start a business first, and then start a family." I haven't made an inch of success now, and I really don't want to and don't dare to start a family. β
"You don't have a lot to do."
Liu Zeming waved his hand, "Destroying the Black Tiger Gang, fighting the Jinsha Gang, exterminating the horse thieves, and winning the championship in the big competition, these credits will not be obtained by others in a lifetime." β
"Uncle made me blush."
Lu Fan smiled: "My credit is really not worth mentioning. β
"I didn't expect you to be quite thin-skinned."
Liu Zeming smiled and asked, "Is it because of the matter of starting a family that makes you blush?" β
Lu Fan couldn't answer, so he shook his head.
"Don't worry, on your terms, I estimate that a matchmaker will come to the door soon."
Liu Zeming said with a smile: "I don't believe you wait and see, after the big competition is over, it is indispensable for a matchmaker to look for you." β
"I really don't want to think about marriage right now."
Lu Fan Zhengse said: "At least until I am twenty years old, I will not think about this matter. To tell you the truth, I'm not satisfied with my strength. In the past three years, I have to spend all my time cultivating, so that I can lay the most solid foundation, and in the future, I can make more achievements on the battlefield. β
No matter what the other party's intentions are, he must show his attitude.
This kind of thing must be resolute, and we must not be soft-hearted.
Otherwise, there will be trouble in the future.
"Okay, ambitious!"
Yanagisawa praised: "I really didn't see the wrong person, you will become a great weapon in the future!" β
"Uncle, don't praise me anymore."
Lu Fan smiled: "I really can't afford it." β
"Haha!"
Liu Zeming laughed, "You young man, you have a very good appetite for me. But I also know that you are not comfortable in front of me. β
"Then let Liu Zhi accompany you."
"It just so happens that I have something to do and need to go out."
As he spoke, Liu Zeming stood up and nodded slightly at Liu Zhi, "You accompany Lu Fan well and learn more from others." β
"Yes, father."
Liu Zhi happily agreed.
Lu Fan also got up and hugged Liu Zeming with a fist, "Uncle, farewell!" β
"Go ahead."
Yanagisawa watched the two leave.
Coming to Liu Zhi's residence, Lu Fan relaxed a lot.
When facing Yanagisawa, even he felt a little pressure.
"Lu Fan, my father has never praised a person like today."
Liu Zhi smiled: "You can really do it, you can make my father look at you differently." β
"Alright."
Lu Fan smiled and patted Liu Zhi, "You really want to kill me?" β
"Haha."
Liu Zhi laughed, "Others don't have such blessings. β
The two were talking when footsteps rang out outside.
A moment later, Wu Lingzhao appeared at the door of the living room, standing there without coming in, staring at the two of them.
Lu Fan and Liu Zhi frowned at the same time.
