Chapter 367: Recruiting Relatives in Competition
Today is the day when the Tang family's martial arts competition is held, and from dawn, the square of the entire Tang family city has been full of people.
These people are all people who want to watch the competition to recruit relatives, the reason why they arrived so early, look at the square that is now overcrowded, and the later people can only gather outside the square, looking enviously at those who came early, to know the reason why they are so early.
These envious eyes make people proud, and for a while, the feeling of exhaustion that was originally born from occupying the position in the early days has long disappeared under the envy of others.
It wasn't until the hour was approaching that everyone turned their attention to the center of the square.
Today's square is different from yesterday.
Although yesterday's high platform is still there today, I don't know when four rings were built around the high platform.
These rings are not small, they are enough to be seven or eight feet in diameter, and they are enough for the monks to compete.
At this time, there is one person standing in each ring, and it is obvious that these four people should be the referees in each ring.
As for the high platform in the center, that is, the position of the rostrum, it was already full of people at this time, and as for Tang Yiyao, the protagonist of the entire martial arts competition, he naturally sat in it.
With the arrival of the people on the rostrum, the hour has arrived, and a person immediately walked out of the rostrum.
This person is none other than Tang Zhongzhong, the head of the Tang family.
"First of all, on behalf of the Tang family, I would like to thank you for coming!"
With a smile on his face, Tang Zhongzhong looked around and made a fist clenching pose.
The identity of the head of the Tang family is not small in the entire Zhongzhou.
A person of such an identity, facing the people around the square, actually put on a posture of bowing down and clenching his fists, which naturally caused a burst of cheers from all the people.
This cheer made the smile on Tang Zhongzhong's face even thicker.
It wasn't until the voice gradually weakened that Tang Zhongzhong's voice continued to come.
"Today is the day of the next brother's daughter's competition to recruit relatives, here, I wish that the mainland elites who come here to participate in the competition can become our Tang family's sons-in-law, and even become the future masters of our Tang family!"
Becoming the master of the Tang family, his status in the entire continent was instantly improved.
Such an opportunity is not a small opportunity for anyone, which is why this competition will attract so many people.
"Okay, no more gossip. ”
Hands raised, Void pressed down.
Such an action was made, and the voices of the people in the audience instantly quieted down.
"There were a total of 1,000 and 8 players who signed up yesterday, and today you are going to compete here. ”
Ling Fan said as he glanced around.
"If more than 1,000 people play a round-robin tournament, or even a knockout round, it will consume too much time, so I decided today that the first way to compete in martial arts is to compete - melee!"
The so-called melee is when all the contestants take the stage together and compete at the same time.
This method is the fastest way to decide the winner, but it is also the most likely to have an accident.
Even if it is the player with the highest cultivation in the group, in such a melee, there is a possibility of failure, after all, they are all monks of similar age, even if they are strong, they can defeat ten with one, but can they still defeat one against hundred?
This way of playing is surprising, but after the surprise, whether it is the contestants or the onlookers, excitement or anger wanders in the square at the same time.
Those who are excited are naturally those monks who have no confidence in one-on-one battles, and those who are angry are naturally those who think they are qualified to compete for the championship.
However, regardless of whether they are satisfied with the way of the competition or not, after all, this competition is held by the Tang family, and the purpose is also to marry the young lady of their own family, so the rules can only be done according to their requirements.
As for Tang Zhongzhong, he still had a sincere smile on his face, as if he hadn't heard the discussion from the audience, and after half a ring, he said loudly: "We will divide the registered monks into four groups for competition, and I will draw people from each group below." ”
As soon as the words fell, Tang Zhongzhong already had an extra box in his hand.
This very ordinary-looking box is the one used to sign up yesterday.
As soon as the box appeared in his hand, he saw him push it upward.
When the box flew in front of him, his hands suddenly trembled.
This shaking seemed ordinary, but after the shaking was over, the whole box actually trembled, and the trembling became more and more violent.
Bang!
Although this box is extraordinary, its greatest function is only to block the sight and spiritual detection of others.
The wooden box was broken and sawdust was scattered.
And as the wooden box burst open, the dense jade pieces were revealed.
These jade tablets are exactly what all the monks signed up for yesterday.
I saw more than a thousand pieces of jade hanging in the air at the same time, and it was very gorgeous to reflect the eyes, as for Ling Fan himself, he was also here.
As soon as the jade piece appeared, Tang Zhongzhong immediately waved his hand.
After waving it twice in a row, the dense jade plaque suddenly split into four parts.
Each of the jade plaques moved slowly, and after a few moments, they were neatly arranged.
In the sky at this time, more than a thousand jade plaques were divided into four phalanxes, neatly arranged in the sky, like soldiers waiting for review.
As soon as these jade plaques stopped moving, they saw Tang Zhongzhong's fierce breath spitting into the sky.
This true qi was like a violent wind, instantly sweeping through all the jade plates, and although these jade cards did not move at all, they absorbed all the true qi.
When they absorbed these true qi, streaks of blue light shone on the jade plaque.
These blue lights are the positions where the names are engraved on the jade plates, which makes the names clearly displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
"The four squares of this jade medal correspond to four rings, all participating options can be on the ring according to their own names, only one player wins in each ring, and after half an hour, the competition officially begins!"
Tang Zhongzhong's loud voice came, but even if everyone heard it, they were still stunned, just because the way of drawing lots was too terrifying.
This is not only the first time that this kind of grouping has been seen on the mainland, but also because of its momentum and splendid scene, which is shocking.
Of course, this shock was only a moment's work, as the participants reacted, there was still half an hour before the competition was about to start, and they hurriedly suppressed the shock in their hearts, raised their heads in the shining jade plaque, and looked for their names.
"Hey, I found it, I'm the number one ring!"
"Hey, how can I be in the second ring with Gu Yun, it seems that there is no hope of advancing this time.
"Haha, we are in the third ring with Ling Fan, isn't he called a genius? I like to stifle the pleasure of a genius!"
In the process of searching for his name and running to his ring, there are voices of surprise or sadness everywhere.
Although this square is large, thousands of people move at the same time, which also makes this square seem chaotic.
Fortunately, these people were not slow, and just two-thirds of the time half an hour had passed, and the whole square had fallen silent again.
"Hey, why didn't Ling Fan come?"
Whether it is the relationship between Ling Fan and Tang Yiyao, or because of his Nine Dragons locked vein physique, he has become the focus of many people's attention.
The focus doesn't appear, and of course it's easy to be noticed.
"Did he think he couldn't pass the test and gave up?"
Among the onlookers, there were all kinds of discussions, but in the ring, the content of the discussions was different.
"He must have seen himself in the dark in the same group as me, a genius killer, and he didn't dare to go on stage and ran away!"
Such a voice rang out in the ring.
The voice was so loud that when everyone heard it, the square fell silent, and all eyes were turned almost simultaneously in his direction, and the same voice appeared in most people's hearts.
Who is this? so arrogant, and how dare you claim to be a genius killer?
However, surprise is surprise, but no one thinks that this person is just an arrogant and weak person with no strength, after all, the monk who participated in the competition will face such a scuffle, as long as he is not a fool, he will not be established as an enemy of everyone, and a person who can become a monk, how can there be a fool?
Only one player in each ring advances, and letting others know how strong they are will naturally become the target of everyone's attacks.
"Ling Fan is here!"
Just when everyone was curious about the arrogant man's cultivation, several rapidly flying figures had already appeared in the distance in the sky.
The speed of these figures is extremely fast, the first glance is still far away in the sky, and the next glance has already appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
These figures, of course, are Ling Fan and the Void Ring.
At this time, there was still half an hour before the start of the competition, and the time to take the stage was enough, but except for Ling Fan, everyone who participated in the competition was already standing in the ring.
"It's really arrogant, it's only here at this time, does he think that with the Nine Dragons Lock Vein, he will be invincible in the world?"
For Ling Fan's tardiness, in the eyes of everyone, it has become his arrogant performance.
In this regard, although Ling Fan heard it, he didn't care about it, but after seeing the distribution of the jade plates in the sky, after inquiring about the way of grouping, he ran directly to the third ring.
Of course, Ling Fan didn't hear what happened in the square before, and went straight to the third ring, only then did he raise his eyes and glance at everyone in the third ring.
This glance was as calm as water, but everyone felt that Ling Fan's gaze stayed for an extra moment when he looked at the man known as the 'genius killer'.
In such a situation, it was obvious that Ling Fan felt a threat from this man.
After briefly glancing at everyone, Ling Fan turned his gaze to this man again.
This man was eight feet tall, with a strong body, almost bursting the cyan robe he was wearing, his facial features were sharp and angular, and although his eyes were small, the fierce gaze in it was staring at Ling Fan.
"You're Ling Fan, the one who locks the Nine Dragons?"
The man's arrogant voice sounded, and Ling Fan frowned slightly when he heard it.
"It's under you, I don't know who your friend's surname is?"
Ling Fan spoke softly, his voice like a breeze blowing, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"I am Shangguan Shengyin, who is known as a genius killer!"
"Shangguan Sage?" Ling Fan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously repeated.
"Hmph, it's not a human, it's a groan, a dragon and a tiger!"
