Chapter 13 Domineering Sideways Push (5,000 words, thanks to the "Dream Daqian" book friends for their rewards)

After all five sets of competitions were over, the remaining time was reserved for the remaining one hundred and six archery testers.

The archery test requires you to shoot ten arrows in the bullseye of an arrow target eighty steps away in twenty breaths, which sounds not difficult, but few people can do it when it comes to actually getting started.

Ordinary people's arm strength is limited, and if you want to shoot an arrow eighty paces away, the bow basically has to be full, not to mention the time requirement. In a short period of time, the bow is continuously opened, and the more you go to the back, the weaker the arm muscles become, the weakness of the arm will be unstable, and the quasi-head will also fall.

More than half of the one hundred and six men shot five or six arrows, and the accuracy of the arrows plummeted, and the last two arrows simply missed the target, and both arms trembled when they lowered their bows.

In the end, only Gai Yuntian did it meticulously as required.

After he went up, he did not use the previous technique of one bow and multiple arrows, but first inserted ten selected arrows into the ground in front of him, and then shot one arrow without looking at it, and immediately drew out another arrow and continued to chase one arrow after another like a meteor catching the moon. After all ten arrows were fired, only twelve breaths had passed, and it took an average of just over one breath to shoot an arrow, and all the arrows he shot hit the bull's-eye.

Such an amazing bead archery technique once again amazed the onlookers who ate melons.

After the ten arrows were shot, the expression on Gai Yuntian's face was very calm, as if it was not himself who shot the arrows just now, and the admiration of the people outside the field did not make him show a smug look, this psychological quality made the Iron Bull instructor quite appreciative.

Gai Yuntian successfully passed, and he was qualified to enter the last competition. He can compete with the others, or he can wait until the results are out and choose one of them to challenge him, and if he wins, he can take the place of the opponent.

............

After one night, the 27th year of the Yuanwu calendar, the Dingshan Army recruit Dabi entered the last item.

Only 51 people remained.

The Iron Bull Instructor announced the rules for this one:

It's the same ring fight, but it's no longer a scuffle, but a return to the traditional one-on-one. There are a total of ten rings, and those who have aspirations can take on the stage as the champion to accept the challenges of others, and if they can keep going, they will win. Those who come to power can do whatever they want, as long as they don't put people to death, and the blades are no longer wooden, but all are real. As for the ranking of the final ten winners, it is up to the Iron Bull instructors in the stands to decide. If you are not satisfied, you can come forward to challenge, and as long as you win, you can replace the opponent.

The rules are simple, the purpose of this competition is to select the ten strongest recruits.

If you want to be an officer in the army at this time, you must first have a hard fist, and then you are qualified to talk about things like strategy. Your fists are not hard enough to even suppress your subordinates, and even if what you say makes sense, no one will listen!

To be able to stand out from more than 3,000 people, such a person's fist must be hard enough, so there is nothing to worry about granting him an official position.

After announcing the start, Cheng Kun and Gai Yuntian each occupied a ring, waiting for the challenge of others.

But soon, an embarrassing scene appeared.

Basically no one went up to these eight rings.

In yesterday's melee in the ring, the combat effectiveness of Cheng Kun's seven people has been fully demonstrated, and the other people's heads are not stupid, so there is no reason to hit the stone with their own egg.

Gai Yuntian didn't see many people when he made a move, and there were two people who tried to go up and challenge. But when Gai Yuntian shot two arrows into the knees of these two people, making them kneel immediately, there was no one in his ring.

It can only be said that the gap among this year's recruits is too big, and the others can't see any hope of winning compared to these people, so it's no wonder that there is such a scene.

Correspondingly, the other two remaining rings are very fiercely competitive. In just one stick of incense, each of them changed four champions.

Forty-three people are vying for two spots, which is low enough.

Basically, each of these forty-three people has learned a little kung fu, so the competition is not too ugly. At least it's not all moves like "Black Tiger Digging Heart" and "Monkey Stealing Peach".

Finally, the two rings decided the final champion. The two people who persevered to the end were named Lei Fang and Hou Xuan.

Lei Fang is a burly man who is comparable to Hong Chao, born in Dai County, and Hou Xuan was born in Liaoxi County and has a thin figure. According to Cheng Kun's observation, Hou Xuan should have practiced a little simple horizontal kung fu, and there were several times when other people's guns pierced his chest or back and did not break the defense, but he seized the opportunity to step down. It's just that he may not have practiced his true qi yet, and he doesn't dare to resist like this every time.

The ringmates of the ten rings are all determined, and if nothing else, this time the big competition is over. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the real show has just begun.

Who is the number one among the ten?

No matter who Instructor Iron Bull has in mind, this guy will have to face challenges from others.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. If you want to be the first recruit, you asked me if I had a sword (sword) in my hand!!

The Iron Bull Instructor glanced at the ten people in the ring, and then announced in a low voice, "This is the end of Dabi." 1st place: Cheng Kun, 2nd place: Luo Rongjun, 3rd place: Tian Huayu, 4th place: Xue Ren, 5th place: Ling Zhen, 6th place: Fang Han, 7th place: Duan Feipeng, 8th place: Gai Yuntian, 9th place: Hou Xuan, 10th place: Lei Fang. ”

After announcing the rankings, the Iron Bull Instructor paused, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly on his face: "If you have any objections, if not, I will continue to announce your respective rewards." ”

As soon as his words fell, Fang Han, Luo Rongjun and a few people plus Gai Yuntian immediately spoke in unison, expressing disbelief: "Instructor, why did you choose Cheng Kun as the first place in the competition?"

The look in the eyes of the Iron Bull instructor was a little playful: "Why, of course, it is by fists." In my opinion, this kid Cheng Kun is stronger than several of you, and he is much stronger, so I ranked him first. If you have an opinion on the outcome, challenge him. As long as you win, the first seat will be yours. ”

This remark can be said to have helped Cheng Kun stabilize his hatred value, Cheng Kun was a little suspicious that he had offended this black-bellied guy somewhere before, otherwise would he have "killed" himself like this?

However, it was too late to say anything now, just looking at the eyes of Fang Han and a few people looking at him, he understood that this battle was inevitable.

But then again, what was he afraid of!

Instructor Tie Niu has a sentence that Cheng Kun agrees with: he is very strong, and he is stronger than these people. If anyone doesn't want to admit it, he's happy to help them realize it.

After listening to the words of the Iron Bull instructor, several people felt that it was very reasonable, and if they were not satisfied, they would have a fight.

But a new question arises: who will go up to challenge Cheng Kun first?

This is really just a trivial matter, but several people are fighting over it, as if whoever goes up first will definitely be able to knock Cheng Kun down. In the end, Cheng Kun was impatient and said a sentence directly, which made several people stunned:

"What's there to quarrel about, if any of you are not convinced, let's go together. I'm too lazy to waste time figuring them out one by one."

After saying this, Cheng Kun felt secretly refreshed.

I read a lot of web novels when I was fine in my last life, and many of the protagonists in them have said this. He felt forced at the time, and today he finally had the opportunity to try it himself.

Fang Han's eyes widened, a little unsure if what he had just heard was true; Luo Rongjun clenched his teeth, he had a domineering temperament and a very high opinion of himself, Cheng Kun's words were simply a great shame for him. The rest of the people also shook their heads one after another, in their eyes, Cheng Kun was afraid that something was wrong with his head.

Fighting against several people at the same time alone, and winning the battle, this must at least be completed in the pulse period, and one of the two pulses of Ren Du can be done, and Cheng Kun is still far behind.

Luo Rongjun didn't care about the other people, and jumped directly into the ring, pointed his long knife at Cheng Kun, and his eyes were full of anger: "Cheng Kun, you have to pay the price for your wild words." ”

Cheng Kun raised his eyebrows: "It's okay, I'll solve you first, and then try their catties." ”

Luo Rongjun stepped out in one step, as if shrinking into inches, he stepped out a foot away and came directly in front of Cheng Kun, a thick-backed long knife slashed down, and the Shaoyang True Qi in his body was a little more violent than usual under the urging of anger.

This knife is like a great sun falling from the nine heavens to the earth, about to set off a drought disaster, and the true qi of the sun circulates in the knife. Before the blade arrived, Cheng Kun first felt a wave of heat coming.

In the face of this angry knife, Cheng Kun did not retreat a step, the spear flicked, the head of the spear hit the back of the knife, pressed a belt, and Tai Chi rotated, so that Luo Rongjun's knife was completely deformed. Cheng Kun then shouted violently: "Give me back!" The spear was used as a stick, and the "sweeping thousands of troops" was beaten by the waist, and the air was immediately convulsed, making a loud sound.

If you are domineering, I will be more domineering than you!

Luo Rongjun caught this shot with a horizontal knife, but he couldn't resist the majestic force that followed, rubbed it, took three steps back, and returned to the original point. He raised his head suddenly, and his eyes were full of disbelief when he looked at Cheng Kun.

Fang Han, who was paying close attention to this battle, all gasped when they saw this. Although he only changed his move, Luo Rongjun was obviously at a disadvantage, and it seemed that the gap between the two was much larger than several people expected.

They couldn't figure it out, why did Cheng Kun suddenly become so strong, could it be that he had hidden his strength before?

Ling Zhen was very reluctant to believe this, if this speculation was true, then what about him, the person who had personally admitted that he was not defeated by Cheng Kun before?

But that's exactly what happened.

Cheng Kun really didn't use all his strength in the previous melee.

Now that he has achieved the iron-clad technique, he also cultivates the Xuanqi technique of refining true qi, and in terms of true qi alone, he is equivalent to a master of opening up the four strange scriptures during the pulse period. In terms of national arts, after he practiced dark energy, his limbs and back could all be sprayed like needles according to his mind, and he also vibrated the bone marrow with the two sounds of "hum" and "ha" all the year round, and washed the strong physique of the viscera. How strong he is when he shoots with all his might, even he doesn't know very well.

And Luo Rongjun is very unlucky, and now he has become his touchstone, and he has been hit hard.

Luo Rongjun's face was cloudy, and he was a little unsure of what to do. From the trick just now, he was already out of the gap between the two.

The Shaoyang True Qi he relied on was rejected by Cheng Kun's pure True Qi. And although his sword skills are good, it still seems to be a little worse than the opponent's marksmanship. And what made him most helpless was Cheng Kun's extremely arrogant strength, which made him have no temper at all. I really don't know how this person cultivated this huge body, could it be that he is talented?

He couldn't help but think of the record of Taizu Xiang Yu in the literature of this dynasty, the legend is that Taizu is talented, born with the power of the top, after practicing martial arts, it is a thousand miles a day, domineering in his life, never defeated, so the world is called "overlord"!

He immediately shook his head, how could Cheng Kun Xiao'er be compared to Taizu, he was really crazy to think so. But he vaguely realized in his heart that he was shaken in his mind, and subconsciously thought that he couldn't win, so he would make all kinds of excuses for failure.

He found the problem, but there was no way to solve it. Winning is not winning, and forcibly going up is just looking for abuse, and he is not stupid, of course he will not do such a stupid thing. But when he stepped down like this, he was unwilling, and he stopped there for a while, and it was difficult to ride a tiger.

Several people in the audience also saw his embarrassment, and after being silent for a while, Fang Han suddenly walked into the ring with his sword and stood beside Luo Rongjun, and said to Cheng Kun: "Brother Cheng can be said to be famous in a battle today, but I am still unwilling, since you said that we can join forces, then I will give it a try." If you can still win, then I will be convinced and admit your name first. ”

Luo Rongjun struggled a little on his face, but after all, he did not object, and acquiesced in joining forces with Fang Han.

Cheng Kun nodded: "Very good, what I said is not counted, if the two of you can defeat me together, then I will withdraw from this battle for the first place." ”

Fang Han raised his sword to attack first, the tip of the sword trembled and stabbed Cheng Kun's waist and kidneys, he only had this sword in his eyes, and he fused all his essence and spirit into it, and there were hidden changes in the rapidity, ready to change his moves at any time according to Cheng Kun's response.

And Luo Rongjun followed silently behind him, the long knife was not triggered, but the invisible qi machine made Cheng Kun's hair slightly fried. The setback just now has changed Luo Rongjun's mentality, he is no longer as domineering as before, and even his sword skills are more restrained, and the threat is greater than before.

Cheng Kun's expression was much more solemn, and in the face of the siege of the two, he didn't dare to take it seriously.

But after all, the two had never shot together before, and they were reluctant to cooperate at this time, and it was inevitable that there would be flaws. Cheng Kun's two lives combined with a hundred battles, his eyes are vicious, he quickly found a flaw, and then transported the iron coat trick, the true qi passed through the limbs and bones, twisted the waist and bones, raised the bones and tendons, and forcibly pulled the body up an inch, the horse stood firm under his feet, slightly undulating, the whole person seemed to be riding on the back of a fierce horse, the man and the horse were one, and he exhaled and sounded: "Hmph", with a force, the spear burst out, from top to bottom, straight to the head of Luo Rongjun's Liuyang.

Ancient spearmanship, high exploration horse!

This gun Cheng Kun has already used all his strength, the explosive power is beyond Luo Rongjun's imagination, the gun head formed after many forgings of fine iron rubs violently against the air, so that Luo Rongjun smells the fishy smell of steel!

Luo Rongjun, who was facing the gun, smelled the breath of death at this moment, dense goosebumps bulged on his temples on both sides, and his hair was also stimulated to stand upside down, how could he think of cooperating with Fang Han. The instinct for survival drove him back frantically, a long knife wrapped around his neck to protect his head. This style of simply "wrapping the head and wrapping the brain" is the foundation of the knife technique, and it is just right to use it at the moment.

Fang Han was completely ignored by Cheng Kun, and when the tip of the sword stabbed Cheng Kun's waist, it was blocked by Cheng Kun's tough membrane, leaving only a white spot. Facing Cheng Kun, who seemed to be completely defenseless, Fang Han finally subconsciously kept his hand, otherwise Cheng Kun would inevitably be injured under this sword.

But Cheng Kun had already expected this, what he was fighting was psychological warfare, and he would retract his strength when it was critical to bet on Fang Han. Because after all, this is just a competition, not a fight to the death.

In the battle between Fang Han and Luo Rongjun yesterday, he saw that Fang Han didn't have much actual combat experience and was not ruthless enough, so he dared to gamble like this. If you are a person, it doesn't matter if you are a competition or not, you can directly stab it with a sword and see if you die!

And Luo Rongjun was behind Fang Han, his vision was blocked by him, and the two lacked tacit understanding, when he encountered a life-and-death situation, he dared to settle down and bet that the two would cooperate tacitly, and bet that Fang Han would save himself in time?

Of course he didn't dare.

Cheng Kun saw this, so he made a decisive move, breaking the tacit understanding that the two had just formed. This shot seems simple, but behind it is the essence of Cheng Kun's martial arts.

After Luo Rongjun withdrew far away, he came to his senses and realized that he was forced to retreat by Cheng Kun with a shot, and he didn't even care about his "teammates", his face changed suddenly, and his face was like ashes, which was too big a blow to him.

After this battle, he doesn't know how long it will take to regain his confidence.

Fang Han and Luo Rongjun went up, but they were still amazingly defeated, and everyone in the audience was silent when they saw this scene, and they couldn't speak anymore.

Cheng Kun, who won the battle, confirmed the name of the first place in the big competition. None of the remaining people dared to say that they could deal with the siege of these two people at the same time, and they could win the battle so neatly.

But Xue Ren and Duan Feipeng still came to the stage to compete with Cheng Kun one after another, not to win, but simply to confirm what they have learned.

Duan Feipeng's broken jade fist is strong, the gold and broken jade are indestructible, and his attainments in boxing are also quite good. Cheng Kun was also happy to see the hunt, threw the spear aside, and only responded with Baji Boxing. The head, shoulders, elbows, hands, tail, hips, knees, and feet of the whole body are exerted to the extreme, and the offensive is like a torrential rain and a wind, and thunder is thunderous.

Duan Feipeng barely supported twenty rounds before being broken by Cheng Kun's crotch, and then was restrained by Cheng Kun's small grappling and fell out of the ring.

In contrast, Xue Ren supported it for a longer time. His Eight Great Styles of Swimming Dragons were unfolded, and his body was like a swimming dragon, advancing and retreating freely, which made Cheng Kun, who had not learned the body method, quite a headache. In the end, Cheng Kun changed to Bagua Boxing, and only then intercepted Xue Ren's retreat with the Nine Palace Bagua Steps, forcing him into the hand-to-hand combat that he was not good at, and unfortunately lost.

After the two of them came to power, no one challenged Cheng Kun anymore. Ling Zhen had already competed once before, while Tian Huayu had a lazy personality and claimed that he was not interested in fighting openly looking for abuse. And Gai Yuntian is very self-aware, he has not even practiced a martial art, even if his archery skills are superb, it is difficult to break Cheng Kun's horizontal kung fu.

In this way, Cheng Kun can be said to have subdued all these masters with his own strength, which is simply domineering. Deng Xiaoxian, Hong Chao and others under the ring were also very excited, they were very proud, they knew that Cheng Kun was very strong, but they didn't expect it to be so strong!

Instructor Tie Niu was also a little surprised by Cheng Kun's performance, and muttered to himself: "This kid grew up eating something since he was a child, so fierce, it seems that I personally went on the field to clean him up, and it is estimated that it will take a lot of effort, and if I don't do it, I will be injured." If this continues, if he becomes stronger in the future, knowing that the secret book that he once held him was not given to him immediately, then things will be a little bad......"

He immediately decided that after handing over the cheats to Cheng Kun, he would bury this matter in his heart and say nothing to anyone!
