Gently moving his steps, General Ling Feng led the people behind him and seemed to slowly greet Xiaoshan. In just a few steps, the many deacons behind him were thrown far away more than ten meters away, and only Ling Feng and the other nine current archdeacons walked towards Xiaoshan with a "slow" pace and a smile.

Xiao Shan's heart moved, and he could see that what Ling Feng and several archdeacons were performing was an extremely profound kung fu that shrank into inches, and people with slightly profound kung fu skills could also perform it as long as they practiced hard, but like the few of them now, it seemed to be casual and leisurely, which was far from being able to be exerted with profound skills.

Xiao Shan smiled slightly, his steps remained unchanged at all, but he suddenly surpassed everyone behind him, and instantly separated himself from Ling Shaohua and the others by more than ten meters.

At a distance of more than 100 meters, Xiao Shan and Lieutenant General Ling Feng and other nine archdeacons walked together in less than ten seconds. Lieutenant General Ling Feng took Xiao Shan's arm first, smiled modestly, and led Xiao Shan forward.

Shen Juntao, Huang Fu, Cao Qi, Cao Zhen, Cao Wei, Li Hongzhen, Li Hongjiu, Li Huanhe and other eight archdeacons all smiled and greeted Xiao Shan and followed alongside.

The dozens of senior, intermediate, and some low-level deacons who were approaching in front of them spontaneously separated to the two sides, and a two-meter-wide path appeared between them. After we walked over, many deacons followed, and the soldiers of the armed forces who had been escorting Xiaoshan were led by Major Hualing and stopped the reporters behind them.

In the vast antique deacon hall of the deacon's mansion, Xiao Shan stood in front of a large round conference table, around which sat nine archdeacons, one of whom was Lieutenant General Ling Feng. Behind Xiao Shan, on the side stood Ling Shaohua, who was standing straight and in a military posture.

Lieutenant General Ling Feng carefully read the special order issued by the military ministry in his hand, and then handed it to Shen Juntao next to him. After Shen Juntao saw it, he nodded and handed it to the emperor next to him, and in this way, the military order was passed between the nine people present and then returned to the hands of Lieutenant General Ling Feng.

"Do you have any objections?" Lieutenant General Ling Feng asked in a deep voice.

A natural majesty emanated from him.

"Nope. This is indeed an order from the military department, and there is no need to doubt the identity of Colonel Lai. Shen Juntao's old and bold voice sounded in the hall.

"I agree. Huang Fu smiled lightly and said.

Cao Qi, Cao Zhen, Cao Wei, Li Hongzhen, Li Hongjiu, Li Huanhe and other six archdeacons of the Cao and Li families also nodded calmly, after all, they have also met several times with the transfer order of this kind of "hidden man" military department, and they also have the means and ability to distinguish the truth and falsehood of the military order.

"That's good. Lieutenant Colonel Ling Shaohua, you can go out now, you can send those reporters away, if you really can't do it, hold a press conference, you will preside over it, and the specific answer will be told to Colonel Huangfu's assistant, Major Zheng Deng. Ling Feng waved his hand lightly and sent Ling Shaohua out.

"You may be seated, Colonel Xiao Shan, oh no, you should be called Deacon Li now. Lieutenant General Ling Feng stretched out his hand and said to Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan smiled slightly, nodded to the nine archdeacons present, and sat down on the last chair next to the round table.

"Lieutenant General Ling, Xiao Shan......"

"No, Deacon Li, from now on, you can call me Deacon Ling, or just call me Archdeacon. Lieutenant General Ling Feng interrupted Xiao Shan's words.

"Alright then, Deacon Ling, can you tell me why such a grand welcoming ceremony is being held for me today? Xiao Shan remembers that there has never been such a situation in the past when people from the military department came to take office, and the inauguration of the archdeacon should have been secret, and today's situation seems to be contrary to our purpose. Xiao Shan unceremoniously expressed the dissatisfaction and questions in his heart.

Lieutenant General Ling Feng didn't have the slightest expression on his face, but said softly: "This matter was raised by the Cao and Li families, and the six archdeacons Cao Qi, Cao Zhen, Cao Wei, Li Hongzhen, Li Hongjiu, and Li Huanhe all agreed, so let them explain it to Deacon Li." ”

With this sentence alone, Xiao Shan could hear that among the nine archdeacons in front of him, there was a lot of contradiction between the military faction and the Cao Li faction.

"I think it's up to Cao to explain it to Deacon Li. ”

Cao Zhen, who was smiling, hurriedly spoke. Li Hongzhen wanted to speak, eye

Seeing that Cao Zhen took the lead, he had to sneer at the corner of his mouth. His expression was taken in by Xiao Shan without revealing at all, it seems that there really seems to be irreconcilable contradictions and competition between the Cao and Li families as Ling Shaohua did, but Xiao Shan is not the time to care about these now, it is better to listen carefully to what exquisite explanations this Cao family archdeacon has.

"King Kong is not bad Dazhai Master"

So Cao Zhen pondered for a while and said, "That's the case, this kind of thing must first start from some systems within our China Martial Arts Society. You must know that in the martial arts society, from the lowest-level students, to the formal apprentices, to the introductory disciples, and then to the martial artists who teach the students, the stewards who teach the apprentices, and the deacons who teach the disciples, there is a very clear distinction between these ranks.

If the beginner disciples have good conduct and achievements, they can directly take up the position of martial arts master of the martial arts society, and the steward is promoted by the martial artist, and the deacon is promoted by the steward, and the archdeacon, of course, is promoted from the deacons at all levels.

Although the position of archdeacon is generally determined by the military department and our Cao and Li families, all the people who have served as archdeacons in the past, whether they are military or our Cao and Li families, have all served as senior deacons in the martial arts society, and even the nine of us here have served as senior deacons in the martial arts society before serving as archdeacons. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Shan faintly understood in his heart. may be because Xiao Shan was not born in the China Martial Arts Society, and it is estimated that the military representatives in front of him, Lieutenant General Ling Feng, Major General Shen Juntao, and Major Huang Fu Xuan, are all from the discipline class of the China Martial Arts Society.

The elites of the martial arts who favored the military joined the military, and finally were selected by the military department to be relocated to the military shrine with qualified and capable people, and after they gained prestige in the martial society, the military department appointed someone to serve as the archdeacon. Now it seems that Xiaoshan is missing the most important procedure.

Sure enough, Cao Zhen continued: "To hold the position of deacon in our martial arts society, you must have considerable prestige and strength, and the person who holds the position of archdeacon needs a high reputation and the support of many disciples. Although we all believe in Deacon Li's own strength, after all, you are not from the Martial Society, and no one in the Martial Society knows about it, which is very detrimental to Deacon Li's future work. What's more, Deacon Li is only eighteen years old this year, first of all, I sincerely admire Deacon Li for being able to reach the A-level upper-level warrior in the military team at such a young age, but Deacon Li's age is too young after all, and it is difficult to convince the public in the martial arts society, so our Cao and Li families decided to hold a grand welcoming ceremony to build momentum for Deacon Li, and at the same time notify many reporters to report on this matter, and strive to make Deacon Li a celebrity known to everyone in the whole China City in the shortest possible time......"

"It seems a bit grandiose to do this," Xiao Shan interrupted Cao Zhen's words and said funny, "Even if Xiao Shan is a celebrity, it doesn't seem to be helpful if he doesn't have considerable strength! ”

The last sentence was uttered by Xiao Shan in a low voice, but everyone present was a master of superior strength, and of course this self-chanting sentence would not hide from their sensitive ears, but Xiao Shan did not regret it at all. This sentence was deliberately heard by Xiao Shan.

Sure enough, different expressions appeared on everyone's faces. Lieutenant General Ling Feng only frowned slightly, as if he was pondering something. Major General Shen Juntao and Colonel Huang Fu also frowned, but relaxed their shoulders disappreciatively. Li Hongzhen had a sneer on his face. Li Hongjiu's eyes glared, and then nodded. Li Huanhe looked disappreciative. Cao Qi looked very convinced. Cao Wei smiled indifferently. Cao Zhen was interrupted by Xiao Shan and then heard Xiao Shan's words, but then he laughed and said loudly:

"The hero sees something the same! Our purpose in being so solemn this time is to let those disciples in the martial arts society see Deacon Li's true strength clearly, lest they be disrespectful to Deacon Li in the future. For this reason, we decided to let Deacon Li go through the three hurdles in front of many students, disciples and reporters of the Martial Arts Society, so that they could truly subdue them, so that they would not have any excuses about Deacon Li's inauguration as Archdeacon. This is also to avoid the existence of rumors in the society about the unfavorable China Martial Arts Society in the future. ”

"What? Sanguan?" Xiao Shan finally understood the intentions of the Cao and Li families. It turned out that they were embarrassing Xiao Shan, it is estimated that their three levels are definitely not so easy, what to establish prestige for Xiao Shan, Xiao Shan sees that it is right to completely suppress Xiao Shan, and at the same time use this to suppress the people of the military faction in the martial arts society. No wonder the three archdeacons, Lieutenant General Ling Feng, Major General Shen Juntao, and Colonel Huangfu Xuan, have always had a kind of melancholy in their eyes, and it is estimated that they are also worried.

"Yes, three passes. Li Huanhe took Cao Zhen's words and said solemnly. "But I also want to make it clear first, although it is to establish the prestige of Deacon Li among the many disciples of the Martial Society, these three levels are indeed not so easy. The so-called three passes are Wenguan, Wuguan and Xianguan. ”

"I still have some understanding of Wenguan and Wuguan, but Xiaoshan understands what it means. Xiao Shan asked puzzled. Since it is already inevitable, then we have to take a good look at it, after all, if you lose face in front of so many people, Xiao Shan can't bear it. Li Huanhe smiled slightly and was about to speak, when Cao Qi next to him laughed and said, "Brother Xiao, why don't you let me explain." In fact, the Wenguan in the three levels is that the ten senior deacons in the martial arts club will perform their best skills on the trial stone on the spot, and then Brother Xiao will guess and explain them one by one afterwards, without the slightest omission. In fact, this is the easiest level. The second is Wuguan, that is, Brother Xiao will challenge the three senior deacons alone, and Xiao Shan will not be difficult to pass with Brother Xiao's strength. As for this final offering...... , in fact, it is white, it is the meaning of performance, and it is also the meaning of dedication, and Brother Xiao will show his own skills, or Brother Xiao's self-created martial arts. This level is also the saddest level, because two-thirds of the disciples in the field must agree to pass the level. ”

In addition, Brother Li has to deal with various challenges. Li Hongzhen said with a smile.

"What, there are still challenges?" Xiao Shan couldn't help frowning. It seems that this is really an unusual difficulty!

"Yes, Brother Xiao Shan doesn't need to be angry, Brother Xiao is serving as an archdeacon at such a young age, even I am a little jealous, not to mention other people? In order not to let these people have any complaints against Brother Xiao, then simply let them challenge you, these people are generally prestigious senior deacons in the Martial Society, of course, as long as the other regular disciples in the Martial Society also have the right to participate in the challenge. I don't think Brother Xiao should take the challenge of these people to heart, after all, if Brother Xiao has no problem with three senior deacons, then it is even more difficult to deal with one senior deacon. Cao Zhen said with a smile.

Xiao Shan didn't have anything to say, and glanced at Lieutenant General Ling Feng, who was sitting there motionless and expressionless, Major General Li Juntao, who was a little angry, and Colonel Huangfu who was full of helplessness, Xiao Shan's heart suddenly brightened. Although the Cao and Li families have some contradictions, they seem to have noticed that something has come back to one camp, and now they are trying their best to suppress the military faction, and Xiao Shan is now their best target to suppress the military, so they are now sparing no effort to hope that they can see Xiao Shan lose face for the military faction. But this time it may disappoint these people, no matter what, Xiao Shan can't be embarrassed in front of so many people, it seems that Xiao Shan is going to expose some of Xiao Shan's hidden strength.

"Well, about your decision, Xiao Shan accepts it. I just don't know if there are any other problems?" Xiao Shan asked a little unceremoniously.

"Nothing else, it's just ...... Regarding the challenge, according to the regulations, before Brother Xiao officially took up the post of archdeacon, people from outside the martial arts society could also participate. And the challenge is before the three levels. Cao Qi and Li Huanhe glanced at each other, and said a little unspeakable.

"So, if someone keeps challenging me, Xiao Shan will fight endlessly?" Xiao Shan said with a calm face. At this time, Xiao Shan's heart was already very angry, and this difficulty was too much.

"Theoretically...... That is true. However, there is still a time limit. Li Huanhe said embarrassedly.

In fact, at this time, he and Cao Qi were also annoyed in their hearts, why did the elders in the family make such a request? Although the Cao and Li families were divided into two families, there was only one elder, and this elder council was in charge of the general direction of the two major families. The matter of such a troubled Xiaoshan this time was also instructed by the Council of Elders, so there is now a situation where the six deacons of the Cao and Li families have the same position.

Xiao Shan forced himself to calm down, carefully glanced at the nine archdeacons in front of him, stood up and said, "Okay, tell me, where to accept the challenge and accept the test of the three levels. ”

The nine archdeacons looked at each other and stood up.

"Come with us in the martial arts arena. Lieutenant General Ling Feng said in a deep voice.

Following the nine archdeacons, Xiao Shan walked out of the deacon's hall.
