Chapter Eighty-Nine: The First Day!
Reciting the golden list and saluting the imperial court, these are all standard ceremonies before the martial arts examination, and Yang Ji has experienced it once, and he is no stranger to it.
"Boom!"
With a huge roar, two fine iron gates weighing 10,000 catties rumbled open, and countless candidates were like carp crossing the river, passing through the palace gate.
Yang Ji stepped through the gate and saw at a glance the fine iron rings that were dotted with martial halls and spread out from far to near. These rings are all uniform squares, each side is more than 30 zhang long. Such a wide distance is more than enough for martial arts competitions.
"What a big deal!"
Yang Ji's eyes blinked, and he said in his heart.
The quality of refined iron is much heavier than that of cold iron and black iron. This size of fine iron is made into a ring, and each piece is afraid that it will not weigh tens of thousands of catties, even if Yang Ji wants to shake it, it is not easy, let alone others.
Obviously, the imperial court has fully taken into account that the strength of candidates at the level of Wu Xiucai has greatly increased, and it has done a good job of adequate protection.
The martial hall was heavily guarded, and each ring had a high-ranking captain who was heavily armed and proudly guarded above.
Around the ring is a dense array of elites, with their backs to the ring, standing in a circle, surrounding the ring in the center. Looking closely, these elites guarding the ring are actually at the rank of captain.
"In the end, it's a different level, and all kinds of grades have been improved a lot. β
Yang Ji was also secretly speechless.
Treat the captains and masters in the army as ordinary soldiers to maintain and guard the order of the martial arts examination. This fully shows the importance that the imperial court attaches to the martial arts.
This is something that Yang Ji has not seen in Wu Tongsheng's exam.
Wu Xiucai's exam was not separated by a steel baffle on the top, and Yang Ji held the waist card. Passing through the noisy crowd, I quickly found all my rings.
After about half a cup of tea, the game began.
A candidate kept stepping into the ring, and the competition at the level of Wu Xiucai far exceeded the children's test in terms of level and excitement.
However, with Yang Ji's current strength, there is still a lot of gap between these people and himself. And after experiencing the brutal battle of Langya and the battle of the evil way, basically except for the powerhouses of the martial arts fivefold Xiao Zhou Tian, the other martial artists are not in the eyes of Yang Ji.
"Next, 0058 Yang Ji, 0433 Li Kui!"
In the ring. The heavily armed Lieutenant Examiner stood proudly. finally read Yang Ji's name.
"Huh!"
I didn't see how Yang Ji behaved, and he appeared in the ring in an instant, but he frightened the surrounding candidates.
"This brother, be polite. β
Li Kui who came up was about twenty-three or four. People are rugged. But the attitude is polite.
"You're welcome!"
Yang Ji waved his hand. Unimpressed.
Sou!
At the moment when Yang Ji waved his hand, the blood light flashed, and a fierce knife light slashed down. The knife qi was sharp, and everywhere, the air sizzled, like cut tofu and divided into two halves, but it was this Li Kui who lowered his head and suddenly launched a sneak attack at the moment when Yang Ji spoke.
"Ahh
"Shameless!"
There was an exclamation all around, and the eyes that looked at the ring were shameless. On the surface, he is polite and polite, but he takes the opportunity to sneak attack, which is the most despicable.
"Bang!"
The light flashed, and between the lightning and the stone fire, a blood-colored wall of qi lay between Yang Ji and the sword qi. The sharp and incomparable sword qi slashed on Yang Ji's "blood qi shield", only to stir up faint ripples, and it was blocked below.
"Humph!"
Through the blood qi shield, Yang Ji just smiled coldly. How can such a little trick hide from him. He could even observe the subtle movements of his muscles, let alone this kind of sneak attack.
"Bang!"
Looking at the stunned face behind the blood-colored qi wall, Yang Ji smiled, and with a wave of his right hand, a huge force erupted from the blood-colored qi wall, directly stirring up this Zhang Kui's examinee and flying high above the crowd.
"Little Zhoutianβ"
With a burst of exclamation, the candidate named Zhang Kui finally reacted, and his body rolled in the air and flew out. Fortunately, his reaction was also fast, and when he was about to fall to the ground, he supported the ground with one hand, and several candidates helped him behind, and he didn't lose much face after all.
"Yang Ji wins!"
The heavily armed lieutenant had a cold face and announced the result of the game without hesitation.
"Huh!"
Yang Ji's sleeves fluttered, and he calmly crossed the railing on the edge of the ring, and easily returned to the stage.
"Boom!"
As soon as he landed, a terrifying scream erupted in the distance. Yang Ji's heart moved, and he turned his head to look, only to see that more than ten rings away, many candidates were clustered together, as if they were surrounded by someone. Several candidates looked at a young man in the ring wearing a black tight robe with a fierce aura on their faces.
While others were shocked and angry, but they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, looking jealous.
"Let's go, take him to heal!"
A group of people hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and rushed out.
In the confusion, an arm flashed above the crowd, and a faint blood-red glow appeared on his fingertips. Yang Ji looked carefully, it was a blood-stained palm.
Just touched it, and then touched it, and there was blood all over his arms and hands, and there was no doubt that the candidate who was sent away was very seriously injured.
Yang Ji raised his head again, and his gaze at the black-robed young man was suddenly completely different. The opponent who can be defeated lightly is seriously injured, and the ferocity and brutality of the opponent can be seen.
The induction between the strong is very powerful. Yang Ji stood in the crowd and looked at each other for a few seconds, and the black-robed young man on the table seemed to have a sense.
"Buzz!"
In a flash of cold light, the black-robed young man Huo turned his head, and through the heavy void and the crowd, his cold and skeletal gaze covered the sky and the sun, and actually obscured Yang Ji's entire vision.
Yang Ji's heart froze, and he immediately felt an invisible pressure in the void.
"What a strong cultivation!"
Yang Ji's eyes flashed.
There are more than a dozen rings and so many candidates around. He actually discovered himself at once. This kind of cultivation is simply amazing.
β...... This guy is also hiding his strength!"
Yang Ji's expression sank, and he immediately reacted.
"Humph!"
In Yang Ji's gaze, the corners of the black-robed young man on the stage curled up at the corners of his mouth, smiled disdainfully, and then stretched out a finger and wiped it on his neck defiantly like a blade.
"Wow!"
There was an uproar around, although he didn't understand that this pose was made to Yang Ji. But they were all stunned by this action in front of the other party's eyes.
Yang Ji's expression was cold, and he didn't expect that just by looking at him one more time, he would attract such a threat from the other party. There was a moment of silence. Yang Ji sneered in his heart. In the other party's stunned gaze, he first stretched out a thumbs up, and then quickly turned upside down.
In an instant, the consternation turned into anger, and the black-robed young man blushed. glanced at Yang Ji deeply. As if to remember what he looked like. Then he flicked his sleeves and jumped out of the ring.
The game continued, and the commotion caused only a ripple. It was quickly buried and no one noticed.
"Senior Brother Yang, you have to be careful. β
A faint voice suddenly came, Yang Ji turned around, and found that Ouyang Zishi appeared behind him at some point, his eyes were gloomy and his expression was solemn:
"I know that guy, he's from Blackwater. β
"Blackwater?"
Yang Ji was slightly surprised, he had never heard of this name. There doesn't seem to be such a sect in the sect of Langya County.
"Blackwater is one of the five holy places. β
Ouyang Zishi glanced at Yang Ji and only said one word, Yang Ji was suddenly shocked and reacted. Looking back, the black-robed young man had long since disappeared, but Yang Ji's gaze was completely different.
"No wonder ......"
Yang Ji's heart sank slightly. Although he didn't know about Heishuiya, he knew about the Five Holy Lands. Bai Yuanyuan is the "Baektu Mountain" from the Five Holy Lands.
"Black Water Place" can be as famous as Baitou Mountain, and it is one of the five holy places, and its strength is absolutely good. Yang Ji finally understood why the other party was so ruthless, and he had no scruples.
"Senior Brother Yang, in addition to the people from the sect, there are also many people from the Five Holy Lands participating in this martial arts examination. You have to be careful. β
Ouyang Zishi said with a cautious face.
"I see. β
Yang Ji nodded, looking thoughtful. There were actually a large number of people from the Five Holy Lands in the Martial Arts Examination, which Yang Ji had not expected before.
The people of the Five Holy Lands are powerful and have a deep background, and even the martial arts system is not the same. Compared with ordinary sect disciples, there is still a lot of gap between them and them.
β...... Whoever it is, though. Can't stop me!"
A thought flashed in Yang Ji's mind, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were shining, without fear, and burst out with a vigorous fighting intent.
This martial arts examination is very important to him, no matter who it is, he can't stop him.
The competition continues, and every candidate who falls out of the ring means elimination, and the competition is extremely fierce.
"Next, 0058 Yang Ji ......"
In the loud voice, Yang Ji flicked his robe and took the stage again.
"Bang!"
didn't even look at the opponent, Yang Ji's blood furnace was shocked, and the majestic blood directly enveloped half of the ring, shaking the opponent off the ring.
On the first day of the battle, most of the candidates in the Blood Furnace Realm were in the Blood Furnace Realm. With Yang Ji's current strength, these people basically don't have much chance.
The Xiucai-level martial arts examination basically does not have a "Xiao Zhoutian" level of cultivation, and it doesn't want to be on the list, but despite this, there is still an endless stream of people participating every year.
Whether you can be on the list or not is secondary, open your eyes, see the most powerful martial arts genius in the county, and prepare for yourself in the future is true.
"No. 0078 Zhou Zhen won ......"
A loud voice came from the nearby ring, and Yang Ji followed the prestige, only to see a young man of twenty-one and twelve, raising an arm, and accepting the cheers of everyone with great vigor.
"It's a disciple of the Water Sect!"
Yang Ji didn't know this young man, but he still knew the sectarian symbol on his clothes. The reputation of the Water Sect among the sects is not too prominent, and its status is not as good as that of the Iron Crown Sect.
But looking at the aura of this disciple of the Shui faction, he is obviously not an ordinary master.
"Could it be Sui Yiqiu?"
A light flashed in Yang Ji's mind.
The water faction is a little far away from Langya City, and the sect's sense of existence is not very strong. But just the year before last, a disciple named "Sui Yiqiu" under his name was in the limelight in the sectarian world.
It is said that the disciples of the "Water One Faction" and the disciples of the "Iron Sword Sect" met in Wanfenling and fought over a small matter. The strength of the Water Sect is not as good as that of the Iron Sword Faction, and it stands to reason that it should be the losing side.
But in fact, on the contrary, the disciples of the Iron Sword Sect were beaten to the ground by the Water Sect, and they were almost defeated. In the end, the Iron Sword faction strongly protested against the water faction.
A senior brother of the Iron Sword Sect who was not under Song Li wanted to clean up "Sui Yiqiu", but it is said that he suddenly came back after suddenly going out for more than ten days, without saying a word or anything to deal with Sui Yiqiu.
This matter caused a stir in the sectarian world, and many people said that the senior brother of the Iron Sword Sect not only failed to clean up Sui Yiqiu that time, but suffered a lot of losses.
Sui Yiqiu's strength and talent can be imagined from this. (To be continued......)
