Chapter 49 Pre-War Preparations

Anyway, he was entangled in wealth, and Zhou Xiao simply invited Liu Daming to have a meal at the Parkway Building in the capital.

"You are from Bacheng, I have heard of that place, the bandits are very serious, it is said that the leader of those bandits is a female bandit, and she is good at martial arts, and some people have even boldly speculated that her strength and Mu Tianjiao should be about the same. ”

"Is that Mu Tianjiao really that strong?" the goddess asked.

"Of course, the ancestors of the Mu family are famous hunters, and Mu Tianjiao has been hunting all year round thanks to his father's inheritance. Since her opponents are all ferocious beasts, she has comprehended a unique set of beast punches from constant actual combat, and has developed super attack and resistance skills, as you can see from her well-developed muscles. So the people assigned to the group with her basically have no hope of counterattacking. ”

"Then are there any other masters who came this time?" Zhou Xiao also asked.

"According to my on-site observations, the more famous masters from the seventy-two sects are Ye Haogu of the Ye family, Guo Ju of the Dazhu faction, and Zou Meng of the naΓ―ve faction, and outside the seventy-two sects, there are the hunting king Mu Tianjiao just mentioned, the cold-blooded killer Falcon, and the gold medal fighter Xu Dong of the Fancheng underworld. ”

"I don't seem to have heard of these people, how powerful are they, and how does their strength compare to that of the four major sects?"

"The eldest sister is the first to enter the rivers and lakes, these people have been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and the scope of the four major schools is too large to generalize, but with the skills of these people, they will definitely be able to rank in the middle and upper among the four major schools. ”

"If they can rank in the middle and upper ranks of the four major sects, then their strength should not be weak!" The goddess couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the strength of the four major disciples of the four major sects, Wu, Mo, Xu, and Long.

"Of course not weak. Liu Da clearly showed a smug expression, as if he was one of them.

"Then it's strange, why didn't I see them when the cave opened. ”

"Have you been to Jiazi Cave?" Da Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly became interested.

"Yes, we've been to both. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"Hey, don't you understand Liu Da, how can you still let others talk about such a big thing in Jiazi Cave?" Zhou Xiao said.

"Ahem, the reason why this big understanding is a big understanding is not all because of diligent inquiries. ”

"Well, for the sake of what you've told us, I'll tell you about it too. ”

Zhou Xiao briefly told Liu Tongtong about the events in Jiazi Cave, until they subdued Sister Dafei.

Liu Da, who listened, was dumbfounded.

"Brother Zhou, come on, you braggart, isn't Sister Da Fei the king of the southwest bandits?

"What he said is true, I have fought Sister Da Fei many times, she is indeed very powerful, and I did not defeat her until the last time. The goddess said.

"Good girl, I didn't expect you to not only have good looks, but also have such high martial arts, but I always think you are bragging. Forget it, anyway, the martial god test will start in three days, and you will know if it's true or false at that time, let's have a drink first. ”

The three of them toasted together and continued to talk about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Zhou Xiaojiu is in Bacheng, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the Central Plains martial arts, and the goddess doesn't know anything.

After talking for a long time, the only thing he didn't tell was his own story, so Zhou Xiao said:

"Brother Liu really deserves the title of Daqing, since you know so many things, you must be good at kung fu. ”

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of Brother Zhou's jokes, I, Liu Da, understand that everything else is fine, just this kung fu is almost a problem, so I came to the martial god to try to show my face, and it is good to ask for an errand if I have this experience. ”

"Isn't it true that the martial god test can only be an official if you enter the top three?" said the goddess.

"I don't dare to think about entering the top three, I just hope that the seeded players in the first round will not pick me, let me play a few rookies to win a few rounds, and then I will be content to find a rich businessman landlord or something with the record list. Why do you want to take the Martial God Test?"

"Small places should be caught quickly, the development space is limited, and they are controlled by others everywhere, since the bandits in Bacheng have been eliminated, I want to come out and give it a go. ”

"Brother Zhou is determined to be lofty, and I admire it, but I still have to kindly remind you that the Thief Alliance is not only a force in the southwest, assuming that the Southwest Thief King is really eliminated by you, then you have to be careful, the Yama Lane in the northwest corner of the capital is the territory of the Bandit King Baitou Immortal Bai Chong. This person eats both black and white, not a simple character, it is recommended that Brother Zhou report a pseudonym like this goddess girl when you compete. ”

"I Zhou Xiaoxing doesn't change my name, I don't change my surname, as a head catcher, how can I be scared by a thief king?"

"Okay, Brother Zhou, you Niu X, I'll do it first as a respect. ”

The three of them ate and drank all the time, supplementing the consumption of the past few days, and after eating, the three of them went back to the inn to rest, this Liu Da understood that there was no money, and he lived in the most advanced inn, so he would not go with Zhou Xiao and them.

Back in the inn, Miss Zhuxiang was sitting in the courtyard waiting for them, and today she also successfully signed up for the God of Food Competition.

"Lord Zhou, have you gone out to eat?"

"Well, I made a friend when I signed up, so we went to have a meal together. ”

"How does that meal compare to me?"

"It's decent, if you want to talk about it, Miss Zhuxiang, your food is more flavorful, it's just that the environment is suitable for meeting friends. ”

"Then leave your meals to me, the God of Food Contest is about to start, and it happens to give me advice. ”

"Okay, I'm okay, what about you, goddess?"

"I don't have an opinion, I really wanted to learn to cook from Miss Zhuxiang. ”

"Then it's decided. Zhu Xiang said.

Three days later, Zhu Xiang prepared a sumptuous breakfast for the goddess and Zhou Xiao, because they were going to participate in the Martial God Test this morning.

After eating the hometown meal, Zhou Xiao and the goddess came to the martial god ring where the martial god tested.

The martial god ring has the reputation of the world's first ring, the ring was built a hundred years ago, the overall ring area is very huge, the length and width are nearly 100 meters. The floor is made of fine Huanghuali pure solid wood, and carefully polished by the craftsmen of Beijing. After a hundred years of martial arts competitions, countless martial arts people have shown their mastery and clever tricks to defeat the enemy, making this wooden floor become as bright as jade under countless frictions.

In the audition stage, the entire ring is divided according to the nine-square grid, with the referee group seats in the middle and the eight venues used for martial arts.

Before the game began, the thousands of seats around it were already full.

The cheapest seat for the Martial God Trial is on the outermost periphery, which can be bought for only two taels of silver, and the further you go, the more expensive it becomes. In the first three rows, there are many wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials.

From the perspective of these big shots, on the one hand, it is because they want to choose some bodyguards for themselves, but more importantly, they want to participate in gambling boxing. They usually have a lot of money and like to gamble with each other, and they have someone to provide them with everything from betting to information consultation, for them, all the players' resumes are completely public, and even some people who use pseudonyms have access to their real names.

There is an open space between the three rows in front of the audience and the ring, which is the preparation area for the players, and at this time, Zhou Xiao and the goddess have passed the inspection and are already waiting there.

"Congratulations Brother Zhou, you have successfully obtained the qualification of the seeded player, it seems that you are not bragging about catching the bandit king. ”

Liu Da clearly shook his big head and walked over and said.

"Of course it's true, but it's a pity that the goddess didn't qualify as a seeded player. ”

"Hey, it's okay, the unseeded players can play a few more games, it's a good opportunity to make a name for themselves. ”

"That's true, but if you're aiming for the top three, the less physical energy you need to spend in front, the better. ”

"I don't care, just look at the characteristics of each family's martial arts. The goddess said.

"By the way, I understand that I am the seeded player in the seventh group, and I will pick an opponent to compete in the first game, who do you think is better?"

"You are asking the right person, everyone in this group may think that the short Wu Dayang is the weakest, but in my opinion, Pan Feng, a muscular man, is the most vain. ”

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Because I heard that the reason why Wu Dayang is so short is because of the family inheritance exercises, their martial arts will come from the heart, so the requirements for the heart are extremely high, and if the height is too high when punching with all his strength, it will cause difficulty in blood supply to the brain. And that Pan Feng was often bullied because he was thin when he was young, and later he became obsessed with exercising, and he became like this by taking various tonics. ”

"It's really true that Liu Da understands that I have inquired about these things, so I will choose Pan Feng as the first-round opponent. Zhou Xiao said.

"Haha, in fact, this information is specially inquired by me Liu Daming for you, Brother Zhou, after you win, you have to invite me to dinner. ”

"No problem. ”

Zhou Xiao was chatting, and the first round of the competition began soon, and the top eight seeded players took the stage to choose their opponents in turn.

Standing in the No. 7 ring, Zhou Xiao looked down, and there was really a big one among the more than a dozen players, with very developed muscles and a fierce face, which made people feel bad at first glance.

According to the previous plan, Zhou Xiao still chose this big man Pan Feng, and immediately won bursts of applause.

After the selection, the players stood in the ring, and the betting handicap at this time was also closed at the same time and the betting stopped.

In the VIP area, the gambling agency's staff began to report the odds, and the general area spectators also checked the final odds from the odds boards around them.

The odds board shows that Zhou Xiao's odds against Pan Feng are 0.9 to 1, which is only a slight advantage.

Generally speaking, seeded players will be favored, and there will not be such close odds, but Zhou Xiao is participating in the test for the first time, and he doesn't look as tall as Pan Feng on the outside, so there are many viewers in the ordinary area who bet on Pan Feng to win.

As for Liu Da, he naturally bet on Zhou Xiaosheng, but he was a poor man, and he only used one or two silver to bet.
