The Five Academies Martial Arts is not only a grand event of the five academies, but also an opportunity for ordinary residents of Tianyi City to "get rich overnight".

With the start of the battle of the top eight, the Great Qin royal family set up a lot of "handicaps" in various places in Tianyi City under the banner of enjoying with the people. Before the start of each competition in the quarterfinals, people can choose a student to play against in the "handicap" to "bet".

To put it bluntly, this is the official bet. It's just that the official gambling is not good, so the Great Qin royal family has a special name for this kind of activity: Bo Cai.

The so-called small gambling pleasure, for the royal family to open this kind of gambling activities, ordinary people also support. First, the five academies will meet once every five years, and the grand event is rare, and ordinary people can be regarded as participating in this way, adding some fun to the ordinary life.

Second, since it is an official event, people naturally do not have to worry about their money being wasted. Of course, the premise is that you have to bet on the right bet. However, there is a minimum and a maximum limit for official events, with each person wagering a minimum of 10 silver coins and a maximum of 10 gold coins. People can choose to bet according to their actual situation, so that even if they support the student to lose, they will not end up in a bankrupt situation.

The officials have set up a game to gamble, and the underground black market will naturally not be without movement. It's just that the black market gambling will not be as blatant as the official one, and the black market gambling has neither a lower nor an upper limit. Participating in this kind of black market gambling, it is not without people who get rich overnight, but more people are people who go bankrupt and even lose their lives. Even so, gambling on the black market is still very hot, after all, there is no shortage of gamblers in this world at any time.

The stands in the central square of Tianyi Academy are already full at this moment, and the people who can enter Tianyi Academy to watch the battle at this time are naturally some people with heads and faces, including many palace nobles, wealthy businessmen, and many nobles and ladies from Western Xinjiang.

In the VIP seat, a young man became the center of attention. Not only did he sit in the main seat, but the other people in the VIP seat seemed to be quite in awe of this young man, and they were all talking to him consciously or unconsciously, it seemed that his identity was not simple.

Among the five colleges participating in the battle of the top eight, Tianyi Academy accounted for three. Needless to say, she is a popular candidate to win the championship. Not surprisingly, the last "first" title of the Fifth Academy of Martial Arts this year is probably none other than her.

The other two students of Tianyi Academy who entered the battle of the top eight, one was from the fire department, named Ao Qianqiu. Although this person does not have a prominent family background, his conduct and appearance are all the best choices, and his cultivation is even more unfathomable.

Although Ao Qianqiu is not as famous as Emperor Wufang, but within Tianyi Academy, he is an existence on the same level as Emperor Wufang. The students nicknamed the two golden boys and girls, but no one knew what the relationship between the two was.

Another student from Tianyi Academy who entered the top eight was from the soil department, and his name was also very earthy, called Tian Qi. This person is not good-looking, and he has not been conspicuous before, if it weren't for the big competition within the Martial Arts Academy, even the soil department would not know that there was such a figure among them.

In the top eight, there are two people in Fengyun Academy, Xiaoshan and Feng Wuxiang. Xiaoshan drew a lucky lot, and Feng Wuxiang broke the "Wind Breaking Knife" of the moon and the sky, and made it to the quarterfinals.

Each of the other three academies had one student enter the quarterfinals, which made everyone in those three academies feel extremely heavy. After the quarterfinals, I don't know if they will be able to advance to the top four, let alone the final showdown.

The one who reached the top eight of the Southern Star Picking Academy was a female student, like Emperor Wufang, who was also from the ice department, and her name was very weird, called Yuluo Yanran.

This rain fell Yanran was also an unknown figure before, but she was different from Tian Qi, her obscurity was intentional by the Star Picking Academy, and she thought it was a "killer feature" specially cultivated by the Star Picking Academy.

After the first few competitions, Yuluo Yanran's reputation has gradually spread. is not only because of her strong force, but also because Yuluo Yanran is a light veil every time she fights with others, making people unable to see her true face. Therefore, many people are talking about the true appearance of Yuluo Yanran.

Some people say that Yuluo Yanran should be ugly, otherwise he won't cover his face. Some people also say that Yuluo Yanran's appearance is not inferior to the Ice Phoenix Emperor's flawlessness, she chose to cover her face with a light veil just because she didn't want people to pay too much attention to her appearance, and should pay more attention to her cultivation.

If Yuluo Yanran's fame is now raised by good deeds, then the other person who entered the top eight, Adi Taihua from the Falling Moon Academy, is a veritable existence on the same level as Emperor Wufang. Daqin has such a saying: There is an ice phoenix in the east and Adi Taihua in the west.

Adi Taihua became famous at a young age, and in Western Xinjiang he was called "the son of the sun". He was handsome, wise, selfless, fratern... The people of the West seem willing to praise him with all good words.

Adi Taihua is so famous in Western Xinjiang, not only because of his noble background and profound cultivation, but more importantly, he is also the successor hand-picked by the Pope of Western Xinjiang. Adytaihua was elected to the Holy Knights of the Holy See at a young age, and now, although Adytaihua is still practicing at the Falling Moon Academy, he is already the youngest leader of the Holy Knights in the history of Western Xinjiang.

There is also a saying about Adi Taihua in the Eastern Continent: it is said that the reason why Adi Taihua has a high reputation in Western Xinjiang is completely "made" by the Holy See, and its purpose is to compete with the Ice Phoenix Princess Emperor Flawless. The Holy See didn't want to see the edge of the ice phoenix even covering the western frontier, so it "created" a "son of the sun".

Although not everyone agrees with this statement, it is not groundless. Just imagine: if there is not even a person in the younger generation of Western Xinjiang who can be compared to Emperor Wufang on the surface, then what qualifications does the Holy See have to secretly use means to restore the countries of Western Xinjiang?

Now, Emperor Wuflawless and Adi Taihua participate in the martial arts together, not only competing on the same stage, but also faintly representing the Eastern Continent and the Western Frontier.

The last person in the top eight is a military rival from Yaori Academy, and he is still Xiaoshan's "old acquaintance". On that day, the military enemy fought with Bella on the stage, and at the last moment, if Xiaoshan hadn't rushed to the stage to help Bella, Bella almost "died of incense" at the hands of the military enemy.

The curtain of the battle of the top eight is about to open, and this time the old dean of Tianyi Academy did not go to the stage to make a tirade, but sent Meng Lang, the tutor of the wind department, up.

Meng Lang briefly talked about the rules of martial arts on the stage, and directly announced the battle list of the top eight battles to everyone, and then moved his eyes to the young man sitting in the VIP seat.

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, do you have anything else to say?"

The young man known as the Second Prince shook his head with a smile, and only said one word: War!

"Haha, the second prince is really bold! In this case, I announce: the battle of the top eight has officially begun. In the first battle, Tianyi Academy Ao Qianqiu will face Tianyi Academy Tian Qi!"

"It's a 'cannibalism' situation, it seems that Tianyi Academy is good to use!" Xiao Shan sighed looking at the two people who came out of the camp of Tianyi Academy.

"You still have the heart to care about others, have you figured out how to deal with that martial enemy?" Feng Qianyu on the side glanced at Xiaoshan angrily.

Xiaoshan shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Didn't you promise Bella to teach him a good lesson, just in time, the opportunity has come." ”

Feng Qianyu frowned, and just wanted to remind Xiaoshan to make him serious, but Yang Songbai spoke.

"Qianzhong, I'm not worried, but I'm unphased..."Yang Songbai said and set his eyes on Feng Wuxiang, his face was worried.

"Hmph, I met Emperor Wuflaw in advance, didn't this just fulfill his wishes, anyway, he came for Emperor Wuflaw. Feng Qianyu glanced at Feng Wuxiang, and said indifferently.

Seeing that Feng Wuxiang looked at the two people who were preparing to fight on the martial arts stage without saying a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, Yang Songbai sighed slightly and said no more.

On the martial arts stage, Ao Qianqiu, who stood proudly, was handsome and detached, only to see Ao Qianqiu arch his hand to Tian Qi and smiled: "Brother Tian, please!"

Tian Qi just nodded without saying a word, and then started the stance.

"Xiao Xuankun, which of the two of them do you think will win?"

On the VIP stage, an old man in Chinese clothes asked Di Xuankun who was sitting on the main seat with a smile.

Emperor Xuankun did not answer the question of the old man in the Chinese costume, but asked with a smile: "What does the imperial uncle think?"

"You little Xuankun, I asked you what you wanted, why did you ask me again?" Hearing that Emperor Xuanli returned the question again, the old man in Huafu was a little unhappy.

Emperor Xuankun said helplessly: "I said Uncle Huang, you don't know that since I left Tianyi Academy, I have been running around all these years. I rarely see even your old man, and I don't know anything about other people. It's like you, either listening to your confidantes singing and playing the piano, or talking freely with those young talents. ”

"If you don't say anything else, let's just talk about this meeting. Originally, the emperor wanted you to watch the battle on his behalf. But it's good for you, it's rare for me to go back to this city once on this day, so you dragged me out, and asked me to deal with all kinds of forces for my father and his old man. You..."

"Okay, okay! You're not done yet, and you're holding a grudge for such a trivial matter until now! It's a big deal that I'll take you with me the next time I listen to music. I can tell you that a new music workshop has recently opened in Tianyi City, called 'Xianyintai'. There is a Liu family in this Xianyin platform, and the piano is playing, tsk..."

As soon as he talked about the matter of the wind and snow, the old man in Huafu became interested, and he forgot about the question he had just asked Emperor Xuanli. And Emperor Xuanli listened to the imperial uncle next to him with a wry smile and told him some anecdotes, but he was helpless, who made his imperial uncle a well-known carefree prince, everyone knows that this "carefree king" has not loved the country and loves beauty since he was a child. is such a prince who "doesn't learn and doesn't know", but he has the best relationship with the emperor, and I don't know why.

While speaking, Ao Qianqiu and Tian Qi on the stage had already exchanged hands. Xu is because the two of them came out of Tianyi Academy together, and they didn't make a ruthless move as soon as they came up, and they were still in the stage of testing each other.

After a few more moves, the two had a general understanding of each other's cultivation, and then they were about to get to the point.

The first to attack was Ao Qianqiu, only to see Ao Qianqiu's whole body of fire soaring, his palms were red, and the flames were churning, which was Ao Qianqiu's famous stunt - molten gold hand!

"Brother Tian, be careful!" As soon as Ao Qianqiu's words fell, his figure flashed and he raised his palm and slashed towards Tian Qi.

Tian Qi was not to be outdone, he saw Tian Qi snort coldly, and between the flow of earth system Yuan Li, a layer of pale stone armor covered Tian Qi's body, and the hands that clenched his fists were even thicker, as if he had brought a pair of stone fists.

Ao Qianqiu's gold melting hand claimed to be able to smelt iron and gold, but when he encountered Tian Qi's strange stone fist, he didn't take advantage of it at all. Not only that, although Tian Qi looked bulky and slapped Ao Qianqiu a few times, he didn't care, it seemed that Ao Qianqiu's gold melting hand didn't hurt him at all, and he would punch Ao Qianqiu when he saw the opportunity. However, Ao Qianqiu did not dare to resist Tian Qi's stone fist, so he could only dodge it with his dexterous body, which gave Ao Qianqiu a headache for a while.

From an outsider's point of view, Tian Qi seemed to have been passively beaten, but Emperor Xuankun, who was also an earth cultivator, was a little surprised when he saw the layer of stone armor on Tian Qi's body. He didn't expect that someone in Tianyi Academy would cultivate this kind of exercise that almost completely gave up attacking and only pursued extreme defense.

"Uncle Huang, how much do you know about these two people?"

The old man in the Chinese costume saw that Emperor Xuankun's expression was different, and when he heard Emperor Xuankun ask himself, he knew that he should have discovered something.

"I haven't heard of that one called Tian Qi, but I've had a few encounters with him about this Ao Qianqiu. ”

"Oh, Uncle Huang, why don't you tell me about this Ao Qianqiu? I heard that he is as famous as Flawless, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

The old man in Huafu nodded when he heard this: "This Ao Qianqiu does have some skills, and his character is also good, and the imperial brother is also very fond of this person." I've been in contact with him a few times, and he's really a wonderful person. But to say that he is as famous as Flawless, but he is also a little exalted, it should be deliberately arranged by some good deeds, and his cultivation should not be as good as Flawless. ”

Emperor Xuankun looked at Ao Qianqiu on the stage and nodded: "If he only has such a little ability, let alone flawless, I'm afraid he won't even be able to deal with this Tian Qi." ”

The old man in the Chinese costume was shocked when he heard this, and said, "No, although Ao Qianqiu is not as flawless, it should be more than enough to deal with this little-known Tian Qi." Xiao Xuankun, do you see something?"

Di Xuankun saw that the other people in the VIP table also turned their eyes to him, obviously wondering what he had seen.

"This Tian Qi cultivates a technique that almost completely abandons attack and only pursues extreme defense, called 'Xuanwu True Gong'. This technique is cultivated to the extreme, and it is said that it can achieve an eternal and immortal body. ”

"Now, although Tian Qi has not yet cultivated these exercises to the Mahayana, if the proud gold melting hand cannot break Tian Qi's stone skin, it will be a matter of time before he is defeated. ”
