The four seasons change, the cycle goes back and forth, spring goes to autumn and comes again, and it is time to hold a martial arts competition.

Although he is now over sixteen years old, only after passing the coming-of-age ceremony can he really be regarded as an adult.

This competition has a special significance to Shi Yu, and when the time comes, the Shi family's family will also be present to witness the changes in Shi Yu's life.

This ring is about to be held not only a martial arts competition, but also a ceremony, through which the children will show their martial arts to everyone and let everyone witness their coming-of-age ceremony.

The person who stands in this ring for the first time in the martial arts competition, whether he wins or loses, is worthy of recognition, loses, is ashamed and courageous, wins, and makes persistent efforts, this is the meaning of the coming-of-age ceremony.

The competition has its own specific rules, in addition to stipulating that people who are too old and too young cannot participate, they are also divided into two groups according to age, 16 to 26 years old for one group, more than 26 years old for the other group, the older the person, the experience, martial arts are slightly higher, such a group, can make the competition more fair.

At the end of the competition, the person who wins all the opponents is called the leader, and there is a reward, and this reward is a weapon created by Shi Yu's uncle, Shi Zhenlin. Because it is divided into two groups, two rare weapons are produced from them every year.

In the village, Shi Zhenlin's name is almost universally known, in recent years, every time the village holds a martial arts competition, it is the use of weapons made by him as a reward, as long as people see it, the weapon is engraved with a special hammer logo, they know that this is from the hand of Shi Zhenlin.

As we all know, knives and swords are made of iron, and iron has a high value in the village, plus this knife and sword came from Shi Zhenlin's hand, once people get it, they will divide it at home and keep it for good collection.

In this year's competition, Shi Zhenlin, as the producer of the rewards, made his own wishful thinking.

This year, it is Shi Yu's coming-of-age ceremony, so the rewards he made are biased towards Shi Yu, from the past with his nephew, he can see that Shi Yu has a few catties and a few taels, he estimates that Shi Yu is at least fifty percent sure that he can win the leader, if Shi Yu can really win the leader, and the power to make weapons is in his hands, then why not make a weapon for Shi Yu that is needed.

It is precisely because of this calculation that he specially created a hunting knife, carefully made, the knife body is covered with fine and dense lines, beautiful, delicate and generous, which is Shi Zhenlin's confidence in Shi Yuduo.

In the village, hunting is a family tradition, but also a certain dangerous activity, so children are forbidden to participate in hunting until they are minors, but when they reach adulthood, all men must participate in hunting, this is the village custom, is the rule set by the ancestors.

Shi Yu had long been looking forward to hunting, but he also knew that he could only try it when he was an adult, and when the time came, his father would teach him the experience and skills of hunting.

Hunting takes place in dense jungles, and a good hunting knife is needed to chop trees, sweep away thorns, or to cull prey, just in case.

Shi Zhenlin spent a lot of time and carefully crafted this hunting knife, which was made for Shi Yu, but it depends on his ability to obtain it, and everyone has a chance, so it is not a violation.

Autumn is the harvest season, but also the season of the fattest prey, as soon as the tournament is over, the people of the village begin to be active, to the jungle around the village, looking for prey, when the prey is in hand, and then carry it to the village, living a simple and simple life.

In the first round of the competition, the opponent is determined by drawing lots, and then the winner is determined in turn, and then the winner is determined in the next round, until there are only two people left in the final round to determine the winner.

After the draw, Shi Yu's opponent in the first round was named Zhang Hu, a young man a few years older than Shi Yu. As the name suggests, he has a tiger head and a tiger brain, but there is a resolute gaze in his eyes.

It is a martial arts competition, the first thing is respect, and the point is so far, you must not be angry with others, and you must not hurt the killer. These are the rules and regulations that Song Renyi read out before the competition. Every year, he is the referee invited by the villagers.

When the audience was already in place, the two people on the stage gave each other a fist salute, opened the posture, beat the gongs and drums, and the competition officially began.

The competition is free to play, you can use weapons, you can also test the fists and feet, in order to prevent accidental injury, the weapons are wooden, made of blunt weapons, point to the end.

In the two sides of the competition, when one side does not choose to use weapons, the other side generally does not use them, which seems to be a victory.

Shi Yu and Zhang Hu boarded the ring in the seventh game, there was a ladder on each side of the ring, and one of the two sides of the competition went up from one side, and then in the center of the ring, under the bottom of the foot on the huge word "Wu" converged.

Shi Yu stepped into the ring, looking at a large number of people in the audience, he was a little stunned, he was standing in this ring in front of so many people for the first time, he looked in the direction of his family, and could roughly see the familiar faces, grandfather, grandmother, father, mother...... Seeing them, some nervous feelings relaxed.

The two sides of the competition stood at both ends of the word "Wu", and first exchanged a fist salute, and then Shi Yu said: Brother Zhang, admit it. Zhang Hu also said: Don't dare, don't dare. These are polite words before the competition, although it is red tape, but the rules still have to be followed.

"Do you want weapons?" Old Song on the referee table asked. The referee's table is much higher than the ring, and standing on the referee's table, the whole ring is at a glance.

Zhang Hu said: "Xie Song, I don't need it." Zhang Shiyu also replied in a proper manner: "Xie Song, I don't need it." ”

"Okay, the competition begins!" Song Lao pulled out his old and somewhat hoarse voice and shouted loudly, and then a gong and drum sounded, and the competition began.

Zhang Hu put on a posture, took the lead in launching a fierce attack, fists and legs were used together, split fists, swept legs, bounced kicks, straight punches, Zhang Hu's every blow was fast and powerful, the basic skills were quite solid, and he had practiced martial arts for more than ten years, and all the results of hard training were revealed today.

However, Shi Yu is not a vegetarian, dodging left and right, one is fighting, the other is hiding, no matter how many moves Zhang Hu has, he has failed to hurt Shi Yu at all.

"Good! good!" Someone in the audience shouted hello, while shouting good, while applauding again and again, the others were also driven by him, and suddenly, the applause in the ring was thunderous, and there was a cheer.

Zhang Hu was encouraged by this applause, and shouted: Ha! I was full of energy, accelerated the offensive, and wanted to win this contest in one go, but although his offensive was a lot faster, it was still difficult to move Shi Yu at all, at this time Shi Yu was like a hidden master, in the face of the opponent's sharp attack, simply and neatly dodged all the moves, which made Zhang Hu a little annoyed, the kid in front of him, I don't know whether he had reservations, or he couldn't free up his hand to fight back, blindly and passively beaten, but the angry thing is that he has not hit him.

"Trick up," Zhang Hu said softly.

In fact, in Shi Yu's eyes, Zhang Hu's moves are flawed, just taking into account the feelings of his opponent, he doesn't want to knock Zhang Hu off the stage too early, and when necessary, he will make another move to defeat the enemy, which is the ultimate expression of self-confidence and the characteristics of his martial arts.

Seeing that the time was almost under control, Shi Yu found the right opportunity, clasped Zhang Hu's shoulder with one hand, held his right wrist with the other, stepped on his joint, and grabbed Zhang Hu alive, Zhang Hu struggled hard, but unfortunately he was already kneeling on the ground, pinning one hand to his back, unable to use his strength, he screamed angrily, and struggled despite the pain, but still couldn't break free.

"Don't fight, Shi Yusheng!" Song Lao sternly stopped the competition, Song Lao's words were the verdict order, when Zhang Hu was captured, he was already angry, but there is a common saying in the village: The stage is better than winning or losing, and the audience is talking about brothers.

He patted the dust on his body and said: Brother Shi is really good at martial arts. They all got out of the ring in the direction of going to the stage.

Next, Shi Yu also competed with Hong Yuan and Su Tianming twice, with the gradual elimination, Shi Yu could obviously feel that the opponent was getting stronger and stronger, and he was much older than himself, but after defeating Su Tianming in the end, he also successfully advanced to the final round of the competition.

This is an impressive record, the first time to participate in the tournament to the last round of the people, in the village is very rare, just the adult grade, but have excellent martial arts, this kind of people have been a rare village since ancient times, in the history of the village for hundreds of years.

However, Shi Yu didn't feel satisfied, he felt that since he participated in the martial arts competition, he should win the championship, and he had a natural desire for the championship in his heart, so this last competition made him a little excited, and he felt that the blood was surging in his body.

There was only one opponent left for him: Murong Xia.

According to the Murong family, their ancestor was the famous Murong Dugu in the Central Plains martial arts, Murong Dugu was so majestic back then, the masters of the major sects in the Central Plains were defeated in his hands, and when the major sects united to encircle and suppress him, he was never heard from, leaving an undefeated legend in the rivers and lakes.

It is rumored that Murong Dugu used his left hand to hold a sword back then, and now the family swordsmanship passed down by the Murong family is a set of left-handed swordsmanship, fast, accurate, ruthless, extremely tricky, and has earned a reputation in the village, which coincides with Murong Dugu's left-handed sword.

Shi Yu's opponent: Murong Xia is the leader of the younger generation of the Murong family, his appearance is handsome, his appearance is extraordinary, and his majesty and righteousness are revealed between his eyebrows. He had won the battle of the leader last year, but he didn't expect this year's opponent to change so quickly, becoming a person named Shi Yu, this name he heard for the first time, the village said that it was not big, it was not small, through a martial arts competition every year, he already knew young people of his age, but he didn't know this called Shi Yu, so he came to a conclusion, after a little thought, he came to an astonishing conclusion: Shi Yu just turned sixteen this year and is experiencing a coming-of-age ceremony.

"No way. When such a conclusion was reached, Murong Xia's first reaction was to overturn such a conclusion, he was not arrogant, but as a frequent guest in this ring, as a leader of the younger generation, when he participated in the martial arts competition for the first time, he only played in the second round.

Sixteen years old, this is an embarrassing grade, in Murong Xia's eyes, sixteen years old is just a child, usually the first time to step into this ring to experience the coming-of-age ceremony, the child is just going through this process, in his impression, no one has ever been able to compete for the top spot for the first time.
