Chapter 36: The Contest Begins

Outside the martial arts arena, the flag is displayed, lively and extraordinary, different from the outside of the martial arts arena, at this time the martial arts arena is very quiet, a high attic stands in it, looking from the attic, the situation below is in full view, the field of vision is vast, it is an excellent place to watch the competition, but at this time the attic is exceptionally clean around it, no one approaches, even the four major families, and even the Zhao family in Qingguang Town, can only look from afar, not close.

Zhao Ming looked at the attic, very confused, it stands to reason that as long as there is a place where you can watch the competition, it should be full of people, but the attic with the best line of sight is now empty.

Seeing Zhao Ming's puzzled eyes, Tianbo explained: "During this period of Huiwu, it will become the temporary location of those transcendent sects in the Northern Regions, although there are no people on it at this time, but it has been listed as a forbidden place, and no one is allowed to enter. ”

"I see, when are they going to watch the joust?"

"When the final result is about to be decided, they will show up to watch, after all, they are only here to select the strongest disciples, and they disdain to watch ordinary martial arts competitions. ”

"The shelves are really big enough!"

"Xiao Ming, your thinking is not right, the disciples of those sects are all talented and intelligent people, and they are all busy cultivating, who will come here to watch the competition when they have nothing to do, if it weren't for the order of the sect, I'm afraid they wouldn't come here for the rest of their lives." ”

Zhao Ming shrugged his shoulders and did not speak.

"Bell, bell!" The ancient bell in Qingguang Town rang three times in a row, the sound was heavy, resounding throughout Qingguang Town, lasting for a long time, startling a group of young birds to fly up and sweep into the distance.

"Huiwu will start soon, the draw is about to begin, let's go over too. ”

An old man with a rickety back walked slowly and leisurely towards a martial arts platform, the pace was very slow, as if every step required a lot of effort, making people worry about whether the old man could successfully walk on the competition platform.

When some old people in Qingguang Town saw the rickety old man walking towards the competition platform, their faces twitched unconsciously.

The old people in Qingguang Town all know this old man, and the old man in front of him was a well-known figure when he was young, even in the Northern Regions, he made a lot of fame, but in his later years, he came to Qingguang Town to settle down.

This old man has presided over seven consecutive sessions of Qingguang Town's martial arts, which are held every ten years, and when the old man came to Qingguang Town, he was like this, he presided over seven sessions, and he was still like this, making people wonder how old the rickety old man in front of him was now.

Finally, the old man boarded the competition field, his cloudy eyes looked around the noisy crowd around the martial arts arena, and a smile squeezed out of his wrinkled face, saying that it was squeezed out, because there were too many wrinkles on the old man's face, and it was difficult for people to see clearly that the old man was laughing.

"Ahem!", glancing around again, the old man coughed lightly,

"Hum~" An amazing cool air swept around, and under the scorching sun, it suddenly made people feel much cooler physically and mentally, and the noisy crowd was also a lot quieter.

"Please listen to what the old man has to say, it's not too late for you to discuss after the old man finishes. ”

"Why" Someone in the crowd just wanted to say something, but before the person could finish speaking, the person felt like he was falling into an ice cave.

In an instant, a layer of frost actually grew on his body, his body was shivering, and this kind of thing happened under the scorching sun, which was really shocking, and everyone looked at the rickety old man on the competition platform in disbelief.

"I don't like to be disturbed when I speak, please listen. ”

"Ahem, for the sake of justice, Lao Yu was recommended by many families to preside over the decennial martial arts, and now he has presided over seven consecutive sessions, I believe that many people know me, but I still have something to say"

This seems to be an extremely weak old man, chattering for two hours, but with the experience of the past, everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak.

"Alright, that's all there is to it. ”

Hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that the scorching sun in the sky didn't seem to be so sunny, and it was much more cute.

"But," said the old man again, as if he had thought of something.

Suddenly, everyone's hearts suddenly tightened, and their faces were angry.

"What kind of expressions are you all on, okay, I won't say much"

Another half an hour passed

"Finally, I would like to say that as many as 64 people participated in the meeting, which is the largest number in the history. After nearly three hours, the old man finally talked about the game.

"I believe that this time it will be a wonderful battle of the dragons and tigers, and it will not disappoint everyone, okay, I'll go and see if they have all drawn lots, the game is about to start, everyone watch with their eyes open. ”

Something related to the content of the game, the old man just said a few words, and then walked off the competition platform with a slow step.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention the format of the game. Then the old man walked slowly and leisurely onto the competition platform.

Everyone under the scorching sun has a frosty face, if the eyes can kill people, I believe that the old man on the competition platform no longer knows how many times he has been reincarnated.

The old man ignored everyone's eyes and said slowly: "In the first battle of this martial arts, everyone will participate in the battle, sixty-four people will draw lots to determine the opponent, and then the winning thirty-two people will draw lots again, and the winning sixteen people will determine the eight winners on the second day." ”

"Well, please wait a minute, let me think about it, is that right? The old man on the competition platform actually fiddled with his fingers, and still looked at the soles of his feet from time to time.

The crowd sweated profusely

"That's right," he continued, "The winning eight will have a final battle, and there are only three places in this martial arts, so the last four will have an additional competition, and any of the four can challenge any of them, and the winner will be the first to enter the attic and accept the selection of the sect, and the loser will lose the opportunity to join the sect." ”

"Of course, if no one of the four initiates a challenge, then the four of them will compete one by one, until finally one of them can't stand up, then the three who win have an equal chance and enter the attic together, as for which sect is chosen, it depends on their own creation. ”

"Bell!" The bell rang again, echoing in the arena, and the old man finally stopped talking nonsense when he heard the bell, "Okay, the draw is over, and the game begins." ”

As the rickety old man's words fell, the atmosphere of the martial arts arena suddenly tensed!

Zhao Ming, who was holding the No. 6 lot, saw that there was already a player standing on the No. 3 competition platform, and the No. 3 competition platform was where he competed this time, and it seemed that the player was his opponent this time.

Zhao Ming was dressed in green clothes, the soles of his feet touched the ground, and his body jumped on the competition platform in a chic manner.

Today's opponent of Zhao Ming is a disciple of the Dongmen family, his name is Dongmen He Mu, this person's face is very strange, his head is small but his chin is large, and his peculiar appearance makes the crowd of people watching talk about it.

However, He Mu at the east gate was indifferent and unmoved.

The patriarch of the Dongmen family, Dongmen Gujian, was also watching at this time, with a faint smile on his face, obviously very confident in Dongmen He Mou, but when he saw that Dongmen He Mu's opponent turned out to be Zhao Ming, his face changed.

At this time, Tianbo also walked to the stage with his clansmen, with a rich smile on his face, and looked at the patriarch of the Dongmen family.

Tianbo nodded slightly at Dongmen Gujian, Dongmen Gujian's face was very cold at this time, and he did not respond, his favorite junior Dongmen Qi was unable to participate in this martial arts meeting because he had just become an adult, and his favorite son Dongmen He Mu actually met Zhao Ming in the first round, how could he make him happy.

"He Mou, the East Gate of the East Gate Family, please advise. The players on the stage were also stunned when they saw Zhao Ming, but it was only for a moment, and they said politely to Zhao Ming.

"Zhao family Zhao Ming, please advise. ”

Zhao Ming looked at the calm East Gate He Mu, and had some praise in his heart, a very good attitude, under the gaze of such a person, even he had a trace of excitement in his heart, this East Gate He Mu was so calm.

Dongmen He Mu stared at Zhao Ming with his eyes, he knew Zhao Ming's trickiness, and knew that he might fail in the first round, but as long as he had the slightest opportunity, he would not give up.

He has no parents since he was a child, coupled with his peculiar appearance, he has always been ridiculed in the family, but he did not become decadent because of this, but did not think about anything, immersed himself in cultivation, and became a young master second only to Dongmenqi in the family, and his heart is very tenacious, even in the face of Zhao Ming, he is also very calm.

The crowd watching looked at the two people on the competition platform, because Zhao Ming appeared in the first group, and there were no other popular players in the first group, so the competition between the two attracted the attention of most people present, although Zhao Ming had been abandoned for two years and had no cultivation, but everyone in this game thought that Zhao Ming would easily win.

He Mu of the East Gate looked at Zhao Ming who was standing casually in front of him, and his calm eyes were also hot, although Zhao Ming was very strong, he was not weak.

Calmed down his mood slightly, the vitality in his body was rapid, his feet slammed on the ground, his body burst up, his palms were slightly erected in mid-air, and his palms were glowing with heavy pale yellow vitality, agitating, faintly bringing the sound of whistling wind, and the power brought by powerful vitality made him no longer stay.

"Running thunder hand!" He Mou, the east gate in mid-air, shouted loudly and shot directly towards Zhao Ming.

Feeling the heavy pale yellow vitality fluctuations, Zhao Ming's slender palm instantly clenched, and suddenly shot forward, his fists continued to swing in the air, and the fierce fist wind left a faint shadow in the air.

"Bang bang!"

The fists and palms met, and the next moment the qi formed by the collision of the two energies blew the clothes of the two of them into a hunting sound.

Under the gaze of countless people, the two fought fiercely in the martial arts arena, and every punch and palm produced a strong air flow capable of smashing iron and stone.

"This East Gate He Mu actually fought with Zhao Ming but couldn't get the upper hand"

Looking at the two people in the field, everyone exclaimed, this was beyond everyone's expectations, Zhao Ming was the candidate for the championship this time, even if there were two years of silence, it did not shake people's minds at all, who let him just break through, he defeated the fourfold Yuwenji with the Kaiyuan Realm double.

However, Tianbo on the field still had a thick smile on his face.

The patriarch of the Dongmen family, Dongmen Gujian's face was not as cold as just now, although his brows had been furrowed, but his face was a little softened, and the result of this competition was at least not as bad as imagined.
