Chapter 34 The Great Comparison Begins
"It doesn't matter if it's on my head, I killed the second young master of the Luo family, and the second young master of the Qin family, maybe I can become the second young master's terminator in the future." Qin Luo half-jokingly.
After the two returned to Luo's house, Qin Luo returned to his room in the Qingyou Courtyard and directly entered the cultivation state. Although this kind of competition in a small place, Qin Luo should not be under pressure in the realm of self-identification. But it's better to underestimate some of your own. It is true that he is a regenerate, and he has many things that he does not have than others. But he is not the only one who has adventures, there is Luo Qi who has obtained the inheritance of Emperor Wu's mastery, and there is a mysterious person who holds the "Five Elements of Shinto" far away.
In the future, whoever dominates the ups and downs of the world, the more strength there is, the more he can cope with it.
Overnight, although there was no major improvement, Qin Luo was completely stable in the Eightfold Realm of Body Refining, faintly touching the threshold of the Ninefold Body Refining, just waiting for an opportunity to open up the final spiritual vein.
He got up and moved a few times, practicing his martial arts for a while. Soon the sun was rising, and he had breakfast. went to the martial arts field of the middle courtyard to find Luo Qi.
A group of Luo family children also gathered one after another, and finally Luo Zhongtian, the head of the Luo family, came to the martial arts field with Luo Qi and the elder head of the Luo family, Luo Qi smiled at Qin Luo, which was regarded as a greeting, and then stood there silently.
Usually at this time, the leader is going to speak. Sure enough, Luo Zhongtian began his impassioned pre-match encouragement speech.
After finishing speaking, a group of people marched towards the square in the center of the city.
The square in the center of the city is actually the martial arts field of the city lord's mansion, which is here when the government soldiers are usually trained. Today's New Year's Feast is held here.
There are a large number of government soldiers guarding the edge of the square, and today the city lord's mansion can be said to be pouring out of the nest except for the guards and patrols and other personnel on duty, and everyone is doing what they can for this feast.
The square covers an extremely wide area, with a high platform in the middle, stone and wood seats on all sides, the highest place in the north, a banquet place for the city lord's mansion, but the invites are naturally all people with heads and faces in Snow Spirit City.
The people of the four major families arrived at the square at about the same time, they still came relatively early, and then the flow of people from the east, west and south directions converged one after another, they were all ordinary people in this city, and it was impossible to participate in the banquet, so there was only one purpose - to watch Dabi. In the mindset of a bystander, this is nothing less than entertainment.
After Qin Luo and Luo Qi and the other Luo family children arrived, they all sat on the stone steps in the front row of the east. As for Luo Zhongtian and the elders of the Luo family, they went to Beitai, and they were the ones who were eligible to participate in the banquet. The other three families are all in a similar situation.
In addition to the four major families in Xueling City, there are also many indisputable forces, which seem to be unknown, but in fact they are also representatives of one party, such as the Treasure Pavilion branch master representing the Baili Chamber of Commerce, the head of the branch of the four major professional guilds, etc., these people are all invited to the banquet of the City Lord's Mansion.
"The city lord is ......" shouted with a shout, which not only quieted the venue but also attracted everyone's attention. Everyone stood up.
The city lord of Xueling City is a middle-aged man with a majestic temperament, with short eyebrows and goat's beard, a knife face that is quite resolute, and his temples are slightly frosty. Surrounded by several guards, he walked into the venue with a high spirit.
After he took his seat in the middle of the north, the others sat down one after another. At that moment, a young man and a woman walked up to him and sat down under his left head.
A gleam flashed in the eyes of many people, there were no tables and chairs in that place, and even the heads of the four major families were not qualified to sit there, because they represented being on an equal footing with the city lords.
In the Tianxuan Continent, all individual forces, no matter how powerful you are, must be inferior to the official forces of the same level to show their submission to the ruler. If there is no bad rule to sit on an equal footing, then it means that the individual power itself is one level higher than the official power, so it can be on an equal footing.
The identity of the young man and woman can be guessed by many people who don't know itβthe people of the Origin Sect of the Domain Protection Sect.
Especially those who are going to participate in the big competition, many people are already a little eager to show off on stage.
The city lord of Xueling City waved his hand, and suddenly a person who looked like a housekeeper walked to the high platform, took out a piece of paper, and read it out loud. It is a year-end prayer to pray to the heavens for good fortune in the coming year.
When the sacrificial text was finished, all the people at the feast, led by the lord of the city, raised their wine glasses and sprinkled the wine in the cup on the ground.
"Everyone, please be seated, thank you very much for participating in the year-end banquet held by the official representative of the city lord. It's useless to say more, I'll first toast you with a glass of water and wine and then sit down, come, I'll do it first. After saying that, he drank it all.
"Lord of the Castle, please. Everyone stood in return.
"Come, sit down, sit down, don't be restrained. City Lord Qiu Kunlin took the lead in sitting down.
"This year's banquet is the same as in previous years, the only difference is that in order to cope with the ranking of the domain sect, this year, the Shangyuan Sect will select five of the best people in this big competition and bring them into the sect to cultivate. β
"Five people............ This year, five places were booked at once. β
"In previous years, only one or two people were taken by them. β
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
"Everybody be quiet. Qiu Kunlin opened his mouth and said: "So the city lord has decided that this year's Xueling Dabi will also have a ranking competition, as long as you enter the top five, you can get one of these five places nine times out of ten." β
"The rules of Dabi are the same as in previous years, and the cultivation of participation is limited to the fivefold refinement of the body to the fivefold condensation of the spirit. It is not advisable to see blood at the end of the year, the point of winning and losing, except for missing hands, it is not allowed to deliberately hurt people's lives,"
The battle platform in the middle was divided into five parts, each of which was isolated by the true qi shield condensed by the formation, even if the two people fighting against each other were five levels of condensation, the space was just enough.
At this time, the butler came out again and said, "There are ten boxes here, each box is marked with a corresponding realm, and all the people who participated in the big competition should write their names on the note, and then put them in the box corresponding to their realm. Please think carefully before deciding, once the name is put in the box, it cannot be reversed, and the troublemaker will be severely punished. β
"Let's go. "Although there have been some cases before, such as writing a name and waiting for the sign up to go on stage, but then disappearing, or deliberately writing someone else's name on a slip of paper. This kind of tricky event. But after a thorough investigation and severe punishment by the City Lord's Mansion later, this phenomenon would hardly happen. However, it is still customary to warn at the beginning of each time.
"In this big competition, there is no limit to the types of weapons, but the grade must be below the five-grade treasure weapon. Dabi was selected by the City Lord's Mansion and the four major families to each select a master of the Xuan Realm to serve as the referee of the five arenas. β
When he finished speaking, the voting in the audience was basically over. Three of the boxes were still empty, which meant that no one from the three realms of Dabi-Na participated in this time.
