Chapter Forty-Eight: The Martial God Test

Zhou Xiao asked the goddess again if she wanted to participate in the martial god test, and this time the goddess nodded.

"Great, with your strength to participate, there is a high probability of fighting for the first place, and it is even possible to defeat the last Martial God. ”

"Yes, I've seen the zombies of the Martial God in Jiazi Cave, and if I hadn't stumbled upon the mechanism, I wouldn't have been his opponent. ”

"You're talking about the legendary martial god Zhou Tongxuan, that martial god is not the same as this, it is a recognized martial god in martial arts, and this can be understood as just an official name. ”

"Then when will this Martial God test start?"

"It's about to start, and I'm going to go on the road to the capital in three days. ”

"Three days later? great, then we can go together." Zhu Xiang said suddenly.

"What's the matter? Miss Zhuxiang is also going to the capital. ”

"Well, you forgot, the Martial God Test and the Food God Conference are always held in the same year, in previous years, I didn't dare to go on the road because of the bandits in Bacheng, but now the bandits are in addition to, I want to try it, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking along the way." ”

"Ha, with Miss Zhuxiang, we can also eat hometown food in the capital, and we will definitely play better. Zhou Xiao said.

"yes, I can still practice my hands, which will help me compete. ”

"Miss Zhuxiang's cooking skills are obvious to all, and this year's god of food must be you. ”

"Zhou Zhutou has won the award, I mainly go to broaden my horizons, if you end early, you can also come to the scene to taste all kinds of food. ”

"Then it's decided, we'll leave together in three days!"

"Good. The goddess and Zhu Xiang replied in unison.

In the next two days, the goddess simply prepared her luggage, in addition to the Phantom Moon Sword, the incomprehensible martial arts mystery book, as well as the Body Explosion Pill and the Soul Spirit Stone, were all on her body. Although the king of thieves is excepted, she always feels uneasy about these treasures at home, especially when a villain like Cai Yong who forgets his righteousness and crosses the river and demolishes the bridge is also here.

Zhou Xiao asked the county magistrate for leave, and the county magistrate readily agreed, and even paid out of his own pocket to give the goddess dozens of taels of silver for her to do coiling on the road. Because he knows that with the strength of the goddess, it is conservatively estimated that he can also enter the top three, that is a five-grade official, although the martial god is only doing guard work after he tries out, but the people who protect him are all important members of the court and the level is higher than him, so he has already begun to tie up in advance.

Zhu Xiang prepared a series of cooking utensils and a box of all kinds of knives, more than the two combined.

The county magistrate hired a post carriage as a means of transportation for the three of them, and gave them permission to stay at the post station, so that they could travel along the official road and go to various post stations on the official road to rest.

Three days later, the three of them got into a carriage, stayed overnight along the official road, and went straight to Luojing, the capital of the Great Han Kingdom.

Along the way, Zhou Xiao explained a lot of knowledge about the martial god test to the goddess.

In the audition stage, the referee team will divide the contestants into seeded and unseeded players according to the applicant's resume and combined with their many years of refereeing experience. All participants are then divided into 32 teams, each of which is seeded with a player.

The audition adopts a single-round elimination system, and the seeded players can first choose any members of the group to compete, and the winner will directly sit on the throne of the group.

The others are divided into groups by the judges, and no matter how many people there are, until the last player is decided, they are eligible to challenge the group winner, and the winner advances to the next stage of the main event.

The main stage is also a single-elimination system, but there will be one more game between the three and four places to determine the third place.

In consideration of the safety of the players, shoes are not allowed during the competition, and no weapons are allowed, and the dress code is also required to be as simple as possible to avoid hiding hidden weapons.

Regardless of the audition or the main competition, you can use the martial arts of any sect during the competition, without banning, regardless of gender, and without rounds, until one side admits defeat, or the referee judges that it loses the ability to fight, and then the winner is decided.

"Because everyone likes to watch the Jedi turn the tables, the referee of the Martial God Test generally will not easily judge the loss of combat ability, even if you break your hands and feet, unless you faint or lose your ability to speak, and you can't admit defeat yourself. So this game is still more dangerous, don't be reckless when you meet a master, you must admit defeat when you should admit defeat, because you don't admit defeat in the ring, it is often happening to be killed and disabled by others. Zhou Xiao reminded the goddess to arrive.

"Well, I'll take notice. ”

"I believe that the goddess must be fine, and it should be her opponent who wants to admit defeat in time. Zhu Xiang said.

The three of them walked along the official road very smoothly, even if they passed by the territory of several other thieves, because it was a carriage of the imperial court, they would not rob it easily.

Because the game was approaching, the three of them just rested in the cities along the way, and did not make too many stops, and arrived at Luojing in just over half a month.

Because the county order gave enough entanglement, the three of them found an inn with good conditions to stay, and then went to the registration office.

There is a world of difference between the bustling capital and the remote city of Bacheng, with wide roads full of traffic, and any random house on either side is more luxurious than the county government. The residents of Luojing are in good spirits, with outstanding temperament, wearing gorgeous costumes and satin, showing the prosperity of the Han Empire everywhere.

After walking along the main road for a while, I came to the registration office of the Martial God Test, which was already surrounded by heroes from all walks of life on the rivers and lakes, although it was not as spectacular as the gathering of the seventy-two sects in front of Jiazi Cave, but it was also a huge scale.

There is an intersection between martial arts and temples, and there are also their own fields, many sects are out of the world and disdain fame and fortune, so naturally they will not come to participate, and the martial god is only a high-level bodyguard with a grade, and those famous families on the rivers and lakes are not interested. In addition to the 72 sects, the children of the ancestral martial arts families, the soldiers who specialize in martial arts in the army, and some masters who have become talented in casual cultivation are still relatively interested in the martial arts test.

Considering that the winning side may be retaliated against, the registration for the Martial God Exam allows the use of pseudonyms, as long as the experience is filled out accurately and there is relevant paperwork to prove that your experience is true, you have a better chance of becoming a seeded player.

Zhou Xiao had already planned to participate in the martial arts test, and the information was very complete, all the experiences were stamped with the official seal of the county government, and he signed up with his real name, which made his resume extremely credible.

After waiting in line for a while, his glorious resume of bandit suppression was handed over, and the recorder undoubtedly assigned him to the side of the seeded player, and then when the referee team reunited, he would become a real seeded player.

And when it was the turn of the goddess to sign up, it didn't go so smoothly.

"Name. The reporter asked the goddess.

"Goddess. ”

"Oh, another one with a pseudonym. ”

The counting officer wrote down a pseudonym: Goddess.

"Gender. ”

"Female. ”

Although it is very obvious, in order to prevent the women's clothing bosses on the rivers and lakes, the point officer still asked routinely.

"What about the resume?"

"Here it is. The goddess handed over the resume that Zhou Xiao had prepared for her.

"Hmm, suppress the bandit king Hu, Shi Ji, and arrest the thief king Sister Dafei...... Hey, you're not right, don't you have the same resume as him?"

The pointer pointed to Zhou Xiao on the side and said.

"Yes, these thieves were caught by us together. ”

Zhou Xiao said.

"Then who is the head catcher of the two of you?"

"I am, but she plays a much more important role. ”

"Okay, you don't have to say it, since you are a head catcher, your resume is true, and hers is invalid. ”

After speaking, the reporter threw the information of the goddess to the column of non-seeded players.

"Hmph, I don't think I can do it, even if you cheat your qualifications into getting your hands on your fine skin and tender meat? ”

Behind the goddess, a wheat-skinned woman in a leopard-print vest said to her.

This woman's muscles are very developed, different from the muscles full of feminine charm of Sister Da Fei and the goddess, her muscle contours are very obvious, and she is more inclined to masculine muscles.

The goddess glanced at her and saw that she didn't know her, but the pointer seemed to know her well.

"Mu Nuxia is here to participate again this year, and it's a pity that you quit halfway last time. ”

"It doesn't matter, I've caught a few more divine beasts in the past few years, and I've refined my martial arts a lot, so maybe it's a good thing not to participate that time. ”

"Okay, then Mu Nuxia, please hand over your resume. ”

The recording officer no longer cares about the authenticity of the goddess's resume, and motions to Mu Tianjiao to hand over the resume.

"Hey, the one in front of me who handed over the fake resume, hurry up and dodge, don't let me run into you in the battle, or I'll make you look good. ”

The woman known as Mu Nuxia didn't wait for the goddess to take the initiative to get out of the way, so she pushed the goddess away and walked to the order office, handed over her resume, and chatted with the point officer.

The goddess was about to let go, but she was rudely pushed away, which made the goddess a little unhappy, she just wanted to push back, but was pulled aside by a passer-by who was queuing next to her.

"You don't want to die, you dare to do something to her, do you know who she is?"

"Who is it?" said the goddess did not know.

"Look at you from the countryside, you don't even know the hunting queen Mu Tianjiao, half of the rare animal skins of the princes and nobles in the capital are supplied by her. ”

"But this is a contest, not a hunting contest. ”

"Hey, you won't do any homework when you come to the Martial God Test. Three years ago, in the martial arts test, Mu Tianjiao defeated Ye Haolong of the Ye family and advanced to the quarterfinals, but unfortunately the blue tiger suddenly appeared in the Nine Immortal Forest, and the prince Liu He heard that she was recruited to go hunting together, so he had to abstain and stop in the quarterfinals. ”

"Ye Haolong?"

The goddess muttered, she was a little familiar with this name, and thought to herself that it could not be the Ye Haolong who questioned herself in the Jiazi Cave and finally admitted defeat and bloodletting. If you just win him, it won't mean anything.

"Ye Haolong, haven't you heard of it, then you are too lonely and unheard, his ability to observe qi is unique in the world, he can see at a glance what weaknesses you have, but even so, he can't beat Mu Tianjiao, it can be seen that this woman has no weaknesses all over her body." ”

"If you don't have weaknesses, you should be a strong opponent. ”

"Woman, let me advise you, isn't it too hasty for you to come to the martial arts test without knowing anything? In your sect, because of your appearance, your senior brothers may let you, but when you go to the ring, it is a battle of life and death, and you have to sign a life and death certificate to go to the martial arts competition, and it is not a new thing to die a dozen people every time the martial god tries to die. ”

"Thanks for the reminder, I see. ”

"It's good to know, by the way, my name is Liu Guantong, and people in the rivers and lakes say that Liu Da understands, if the heroine doesn't dislike making a friend. ”

Zhou Xiao saw that the goddess was accosted by a stranger, and thought that the next time he brought the goddess out, he would have to bring her a veil, such a beauty was really attractive. However, making friends with a Jianghu Tong still has a lot of benefits for them who have lived on the border for a long time, Zhou Xiao was afraid of the goddess's upright refusal, so he took the lead and said:

"In the next week, Bacheng catches the head, this girl and I are together, I admire Brother Liu's erudition and talent, and I also want to make friends with Brother Liu. ”

"Okay, my best friend Liu, you wait for me to finish handing over my resume, and our brothers will talk again." ”

After speaking, Liu Tongtong also went to the registration office to hand over her resume, and at this time, Mu Tianjiao had already handed over her resume, and she glanced at the goddess standing aside. The goddess was looking at her with a cold face at this time, and with her own temperament, it felt like a god looking at a mortal.

For a long time, because the fur on Mu Tianjiao's hands is a strange commodity, even the princes and nobles in the capital dare not have the slightest contempt when they look at her in order to get good goods, but at this time, she was despised by an unknown woman from other places, and naturally she was very unhappy, so she turned her head and whispered something to the recording officer, only to glance at the goddess contemptuously, and turned to leave.
