Chapter 447 447 [Shaohaos Trial (Large Chapter)](1/2)
With Xue's command, the competition officially began. "Museum Wishes" Shaohao stayed in the venue and read it out.
"The first game, the Black-clothed Guard Fang Iron Palm, against Master Tan of the Shousi."
The first person to appear was an acquaintance, Commander Fang, who led the black guard to attend the martial arts competition. He was wearing black clothes and empty hands, and his opponent was a big-bellied monk wearing a monk's robe in the monk's robe of the Soap Temple and holding a stick. He seemed to have a good status.
Angma was quite interested in the competition among the monks. She returned to the front row of the audience, sat down in the seat beside Xueqiu, and held her cheek and observed it with concentration.
"Master Tan."
"Commander Fang."
Two panda monks walked onto the venue and saluted each other.
Angma couldn't help but glance at the big-bellied monk called Master Tan.
According to his understanding during this period, the word "Master" is the supreme title among monks, representing extremely profound martial arts cultivation and is highly respected. Looking at the huge Pandaria, there are less than twenty monks who have this title.
According to the total population of the Panda people, perhaps those with master titles have the strength of legendary level or quasi-legacy level. There are more than ten legendary powerhouses in a clan and less than twenty legendary powerhouses, which is more in line with the general situation of the mainstream Azeroth tribe in later generations.
But this is the most shocking thing.
You should know that the other tribes have to add up all the research and major professions that control different origin forces to achieve this number, but the legendary powerful people of the Panda people are all monks. Although this is a closed living environment, it is enough to be surprising that only the factors that can be carefully studied.
Take humans and high elves who represent two different directions as examples.
High Elves have outstanding magical talents, quick and agile. At their peak, they have more than ten legendary and quasi-legendary mages, several legendary rangers and a legendary warrior. It doesn't sound like many, but their long life allows them to polish their skills to perfection over the long years. Therefore, although many people cannot enter the legendary field because they do not have the talent of no one in thousands, they can gradually become the strongest people under legends in one or two thousand years of training, such as those veteran magicians with real talents and knowledge. These people are the real mainstays of Quel'thalas.
Although the human race is often underestimated, it has two talented talents.
As we all know, humans originated from the Vicu people. During the civil war, during the Titan Guardians, a group of Vicu people who were infected by flesh and blood curses and migrated to the southeast with Tyr, Azadas and Ayronnaya. The Vicu people are one of the most good creatures in the Titan creations. Even though they were greatly weakened during the degeneration process, humans also inherited the combat instincts of their ancestors to a certain extent.
Therefore, no matter at any time, a large number of legendary warriors who left a lot of highlights in the history of Azeroth have emerged, from Soladin, the founding emperor of the Araso Empire, to Lothar, who saved the Eastern Continent from the orc frenzy, and King Varian Wrien, who died in later generations, but his cry was always pointed out the way for the heroes who were determined to defend Azeroth, and even the Paladin, who used the power of holy light to fight in melee battles, but was comparable to the warriors, all benefited greatly from this.
In addition, the bloodline of the Titan Creation also gave humans an extraordinary magical talent. This is one of the main reasons why Dalaran was able to become a spellcaster group in a very short time under the guidance of the higher elves. In the later magic war, he became the top group of mortal spellcasters in Azeroth because he received all the unparalleled magic knowledge of the Blue Dragon Legion.
Although they do not have a long life, their strong reproduction ability gives them the cornerstone of the birth of legendary strong men. Warriors and mages form the main body of human legendary strong men, and their number is even slightly better than immortal species such as high elves and night elves...
The reason why night elves are not used as an example is that this clan is too special. If you simply compare the number of legendary strong men, the night elves in ancient times were more than all the mainstream clans in later generations combined. However, after the war of the ancient times, the lessons of this war were too heavy, and the truth about why the fallen Titans attacked Azeroth at that time has not been revealed, and the cognitive level is limited by the times, which led to the Night Elf Club, which holds the mainstream view that "arcane magic is the culprit for the demons."
An overcorrect mistake will occur, completely abolishing the use of arcane magic, completely destroying the most powerful talent of the clan. In the following ten thousand years, the number of legendary powerful men has not returned to the ancient times. This situation of choking is truly regrettable, but it cannot be said to be an absolute mistake. After all, at that time, demon invasion was generally regarded as a result of the abuse of arcane magic. This is a regret of the times, and the finger should not be pointed at the druid group with original intentions.
But no matter what, these tribes are essentially different from the Panda people. Panda people are not like high elves. They have both magical talents and sun wells as companions. However, the legendary strongman in the profession of monks alone is twice as good as the latter's legendary wizard...
The life of the Panda people is relatively closed, at least until the fog dissipated after ten thousand years. Arcane magic, holy light, and naturally... These original powers that have been studied by mainstream tribes to enhance their strength are too far away from the Panda people, and it seems that they have never shown "miracles" on this closed land. However, there are evil demons inside, and there is a threat of a hundred-year cycle of reincarnation on the outside, which leads to them being able to specialize in the monks.
Or that's the final answer to the question.
As one of the limited and few professions that do not use the six major original powers and rely solely on tapping their own potential to practice, the monks learn a variety of practice methods. They have amazing strength when they reach the extreme on any path.
Melee combat is not inferior to warriors, and the ability to hide and stealth is not inferior to that of thieves and stalkers. His proficiency in ranged weapons is comparable to that of hunters and rangers. What is even more rare is that the life energy, true energy, and healing others that are derived from the natural realm are sufficiently effective as healers such as Paladins and Priests who control the power of holy light, which is really rare.
This also indirectly confirms that at least within the framework of the existing strength system, the potential of mortals is no less than that of other individuals who use the six major original powers to enhance their strength. In other words, the potential of mortals - mortals living on Azeroth, a planet that nurtures the Titan Star Soul - should not be underestimated.
While meditating, the two below had already started fighting.
The big-bellied monk's moves opened and closed, showing the endless fighting characteristics of Xuanniu Wanshou. Angma has been able to confirm that Master Tan is indeed a legendary strong man. Just by just watching him step out of the bluestone floor of the competition venue with a random kick, he can draw this conclusion.
Although Commander Fang was quick in his body and moved around the field like a ghost, he could only passively dodge, and could not even face Master Tan head-on. Regardless of strength, agility, or the exquisiteness of his moves, he was far inferior to Master Tan. It seemed that it was only a matter of time to lose. After all, no matter what, he was not a legendary powerhouse, and at most he had the strength of a high-level epic.
The gap between legend and non-legacy is as insurmountable as a chasm. Unless there is an extremely powerful magical tool assistance, non-legacy will definitely not be able to defeat the legendary powerful. This is a recognized view. Even with Angma's current vision, there is no possibility of overturning this cognition.
What's more, Commander Fang is good at hidden weapons, and he will be subject to many restrictions in such an open and upright game and will not be able to exert his due strength at all.
But as time went by, Angma's brows became deeper and deeper.
Commander Fang quickly adapted like he was learning from experience in battle, his movements became more and more proficient, and his body movements became more and more agile. Although he was still inferior to his opponent in absolute strength, he gradually achieved the goal of guessing the enemy's moves, as if he had solved all the opponent's moves. Before Master Tan made a move, he used the most perfect method to resolve it...
The gap between the two has gradually disappeared!
How is this possible?
Most of the audience in the audience had the same expression, and some were even stunned. Only Xue was angry and smiled.
Suddenly, after avoiding Master Tan's long fist that was straight into his chest like a prophet, Commander Fang jumped up, raised his palms to form a knife, and slashed towards the opponent's left shoulder...
This is a big taboo in melee fighting!
The force starts from the ground. In this kind of game with similar strengths, not only the monks, but also the warriors who know a little about fighting skills will never risk leaving the ground. If the opponent catches the flaw, because there is no place to borrow power in the air, the ending will only be defeated.
But Commander Fang seemed to have absolute confidence and be able to decide the outcome with one blow.
Under the attention of everyone, this left palm knife turned into a clever way, and bypassed Master Tan's defensive action of raising his elbow to protect his right cheek, gently grabbed the latter's head.
The whole audience was in an uproar.
"I lost."
Master Tan smiled bitterly and admitted defeat with great grace. He competed with martial arts and talked until the end. If it was placed on the battlefield where you were born and died, the opponent's catch would not be so light, and he could even directly shake his eardrums and make him lose his combat ability in a short period of time. So, he lost.
It was not unjust to lose, Master Tan knew that he had given his all. And all the audience also knew that Master Tan was the well-deserved No. 1 monk in Fengzao Temple. The title of Master was not at all, and there was no intention to let go of water in full view of everyone.
Who is the unknown leader of the black guard?
"Mr. Fang opened my eyes. After today, my martial arts will definitely be able to make a breakthrough. When Wan Wang comes to Canyang Pass as a guest in the future, Commander. Fang will be able to give me some advice." Master Tan said with no master's airs, which makes people respect it.
The two saluted again and each left the venue.
The audience did not recover from the shock until the next competition began.
But these monks were not as shocked as Angma.
Because he watched a high-level epic individual defeat his opponent with absolute strength and steadily defeating his opponent for countless years, breaking the iron law recognized by all legendary strong men and all ethnic groups...
Who would believe it if you say it?
"I'm afraid I'll be eliminated in a few rounds..." A few months ago, Commander Fang's words were still lingering in his ears. Angma now knows that it turns out that this is just a humble word.
The game continues...
The monks from each lineage came on stage separately.
The fog-weaving man in Qinglong Temple is not good at facing the front, but he is good at using his true energy to defend the enemy. Once the fight lasts for a long time, the fog of spiritual energy that sounds like a spring portrait will be filled with, which is pleasing to the eye.
The monks in Zhuhe Temple are quite crane-shaped, with a very fast and agile body, and never lose their will toward the enemy at any time.
The monks of the Jiuxian lineage have to pour a few big mouthfuls of wine into their mouths before they go on stage. Although the rules are limited, they cannot spit out flammable wine to burn their opponents like usual, but they still use their drunkenness to exert their strange and ethereality that outsiders can't understand the rules. This lineage focuses on being moved by their will and attaches the most importance to talent. I am afraid that even the drunk Jiuxian monk himself will not know what his next move will be. He runs around in the field, let alone an opponent who cannot predict it...
The most shocking thing are the masters of enlightenment from the Shadow and Trace Temple.
The enlightened one...
After Shaohao formed the Shadow Sect, he absorbed masters from all walks of life and formed this faction. There were quite a few monks in this lineage, with only seven or eight, but they were all well-deserved leaders in their respective fields. They learned from the strengths of many families and studied martial arts, representing the highest achievement of monks.
After the establishment, the monks only knew that those who enlightened the truth were extraordinary, but they did not have an intuitive understanding because they rarely showed up.
Today, they opened their eyes.
No matter whether you fight against any lineage of monks, no matter whether your opponent is a master or a high-level warrior, monk masters from the Enlightenment faction can take the initiative, use exquisite tricks, absolute advantage, and invincible posture to win consecutive battles, turning the entire martial arts competition into a performance of the Enlightenment lineage.
But there is another special case here - Commander Fang.
Commander Fang came to the end without any suspense. No matter who the opponent was, even the masters of enlightened people would be in the same situation as in the first competition. Although he failed in the early stage and was at a disadvantage, he could always learn quickly in the battle, and in a very short time he found the weakness of the martial arts that the opponent had practiced for decades of hard work, and then defeated it and won with one blow...
The audience deeply remembered this black-clothed guard commander with a round face, looking simple and honest, but extremely sharp. From today on, the name Fang Iron Palm will surely become famous as Pandaria and become a milestone in the history of monks.
he……
It's really too strong.
Today's scene caused a storm in Angma's heart.
Bai Huxue beside him angrily saw the doubts in his heart, looked at the panda emperor Wang Shaohao on the sidelines and said with a smile:
"After healing from paralysis, Fang Tiezhang practiced in seclusion for a year in Qingrifeng. He was the only monk who successively eliminated the doubts, confusion, fear, anger, and four negative thoughts arising from evil, and achieved perfection in his mind. He had a clear state of mind that ordinary people could not reach. For him, time no longer mattered. If he eliminated the three evil spirits of hatred, madness, and arrogance, and passed all the trials of the state of mind, he would become the second master after Kang in time."
A state of mind trial...
Angma opened her mouth but couldn't speak.
Regarding why Commander Fang changed his body after being seriously injured, from an ordinary guard monk at Panlong Ridge to the commander of the Black Guard, and finally put on the last piece of the puzzle. This special experience led him to a completely different path...
Angma smiled bitterly and cut off all negative thoughts... In the last life, he would probably reach the state of extraordinary and unification of man and nature. It is a bit funny to say, but the fact that Commander Fang's almost disabled body with his left hand and successively defeated the legendary strongman with his level of successive level has truly shown that this is not false. In terms of mental state and cultivation, I am afraid that only Emperor Shaohao, who had killed six negative thoughts except "arrogance", can defeat Commander Fang?
From the corner of his eyes, he suddenly glanced at the "Miao Zhu" Shaohao walking into the venue.
etc……
At the other end of the competition venue, Commander Fang was standing. This seemed to be the last duel and will directly decide the champion of this year's competition.
Angma looked around, but did not find the opponent of Commander Fang. He had a guess in his heart and asked in disbelief:
"Can... His Majesty Shaohao also participate in the competition?"
This is a bit... He clearly remembered that Shaohao had not received professional training from a monk. Even though he had practiced for a period of time while sealing the evil demon, it was not enough to give him the martial arts skills to go on stage to fight the enemy.
Xue laughed furiously and stood up facing the venue. In an instant, all her eyes gathered on the supreme god.
"In the last competition, the black-clothed guards' iron palms are against..."
"Shaohao."
As soon as the words fell, including those master monks who had met Emperor Shaohao and knew the true identity of the temple Zhu who hosted the martial arts competition, the audience's expressions were all frozen. They had never expected that the emperor of the Panda Empire, who had just ascended the throne not long ago, would actually participate in this competition in person...
"Your Majesty." Commander Fang frowned slightly, "You...?"
To be continued...
