Two days passed by. During these short two days, Mo Wentian did not dare to relax at all, and he did not covet the scenery of the big city. Every morning he went to the outskirts of Chucheng to practice swordsmanship, and at night he put away his sword belt.
Returned exhausted.
In previous battles with Han Xing, Mo Wentian's progress was obvious to all, but such a rapid improvement also required time and energy to accumulate the gains. Now, Mo Wentian's sword skills have become more concise, and they can be used more smoothly. The whole set
The sword technique has reached the level of Xiaocheng.
Coupled with the strong internal force flowing in Mo Wentian's body, Mo Wentian was confident that no one at the same level would be his opponent, but this was still not enough.
Because the person Mo Wentian wanted to deal with was senior brother Li Yuanji, and as early as when Mo Wentian was trapped in the Waste Sword Mountain, Li Yuanji's strength had already reached the peak of the eighth level of body tempering. During this period, Mo Wentian
Wentian is making progress, and Li Yuanji will naturally not stand still.
On the first day, Chu Chen came to see Mo Wentian once, but at that time Mo Wentian was practicing swordsmanship outside the city, so he just asked the second brother to bring a message, saying that Mo Wentian should prepare well.
In the competition, the ranking is not important, the main thing is to increase your knowledge.
Chu Chen never came again after that. After Mo Wentian heard what the waiter told him, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He knew that Chu Chen was worried about his safety, but this time Mo Wentian's purpose was not to gain fame.
To achieve success, or to win a laurel crown or something.
The reason why Mo Wentian participated in this competition was to do his best to lure Li Yuanji into the water, and he also thought of a way out. Once he succeeded, Mo Wentian would immediately leave Chucheng. As long as Li Yuanji temporarily obtained
Without the upright support of the royal family, it would be beneficial to Mo Wentian.
As for what will happen in the future, who can say for sure? Perhaps after suffering this blow, it is not impossible for Li Yuanji to collapse and let Mo Wentian surpass him.
In this way, facing the morning light of the morning sun, the Chu State Young Heroes Meeting, which is held every five years, officially kicked off.
Mo Wentian woke up very early. In the inn room, he quietly circulated the internal energy in his body for several weeks. Mo Wentian felt that his whole body was full of strength, and then he tied the broken knife in a piece of linen cloth.
He tied it tightly behind his back and walked out of the room with a bundle in his hand.
Soon, Mo Wentian discovered that the entire Chu City had woken up in advance. Before leaving the city, it was already bustling with people and bustling. Today is the great day of Chu State that comes every five years, and because the Young Heroes Association has been suspended.
It has been held for three times, so this is also the first time this grand event is held after 20 years!
Not only the warriors have been looking forward to it for a long time, but even ordinary people also have great enthusiasm. On ordinary days, how can these ordinary people see a wonderful showdown between warriors?
There was no need to look for directions at all. Following the direction of the flow of people, Mo Wentian quickly found the martial arts field outside Chu City. This was originally the place where the Chu City garrison trained troops on weekdays, but this morning
Several competition stages have been completed, and many participating warriors have entered the martial arts arena.
Outside the martial arts arena, the people of Chu who came to watch the competition had erected a wall of people. Compared with the registration day, the lively atmosphere was many times better. It was like a grand festival celebrated by the whole world.
Mo Wentian was secretly speechless, marveling at the scale of this competition.
Before he could get closer, Mo Wentian opened the bag in his hand and put a wooden mask on his head, covering his original face. On top of the mask was a ghost-like shape, which looked a bit like a Rakshasa, but
Because the workmanship is rough, it is not lifelike.
After putting on the mask, Mo Wentian took out an ordinary steel knife from his bag, inserted it into his waist, and then strode towards the entrance of the martial arts arena.
With the wooden sign in his hand, Mo Wentian successfully entered the martial arts arena. Although it was still early before the start of the competition, many warriors had already come before Mo Wentian. Those who knew each other were greeting each other, and some casual
The disciples from various sword sects who were repairing or coming alone were scattered around, sizing up each opponent intentionally or unintentionally.
When Mo Wentian first entered the martial arts arena, many people focused on his weird mask, but after a while everyone turned their heads and ignored him. After all, Dabi did not say that he could not hide it.
own identity.
Several sharp-eyed warriors among them showed disdain after seeing clearly the four bloody marks of command spells on the back of Mo Wentian's hand.
"Tsk, why are you pretending to be mysterious? He's just a boy at the fourth level of body tempering. His strength is not much different from mine."
The speaker was a short, fat man named Chen Gong, who was an official disciple of the Duanyue Sect. His strength was also at the fourth level of body tempering. Naturally, he would not take Mo Wentian seriously, or even see Mo Wentian.
The ordinary steel knife on his waist made him sneer even more.
Mo Wentian didn't care about Chen Gong's provocation. After sitting down in a corner, he began to carefully observe the strength of these warriors.
It didn't matter. Mo Wentian was shocked to find that most of the people who came to participate in the Young Heroes Association were in the fourth level to the fifth level of Body Tempering. There were even two masters who were at the sixth level of Body Tempering and a seventh level of Body Tempering!
As for those who are below the fourth level of body tempering, there are very few of them. Even if there are a few, they have sad faces. Obviously, they did not expect that the contestants in this competition will be so strong.
This is probably also related to the rewards for the champion of this competition. Although the news that the champion can become the prince-in-law has not been announced yet, other rewards have been known to everyone early, and one of them is very useful to other disciples of the sect.
The attraction is that the sect to which the champion belongs can have the opportunity to challenge the status of the Xiaoyao Sect to protect the country!
This kind of thing, if it were put in the past, would have been something that other sects would never dare to think about. However, since the Xiaoyao sect caused a disaster more than ten years ago, it has not yet recovered its vitality. This is why a small sect like the Duanyue sect has failed.
Taking advantage of the trend to rise, it now has the capital to fight against the Xiaoyao Sect.
Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why Li Yuanji personally participated in the competition.
If Mo Wentian was still in the second realm of body tempering when he just crossed over, I'm afraid he would only be laughed at by others. Not to mention the primary selection, whether he could take the opponent's move is a question.
This discovery made Mo Wentian frown. It seemed that the fourth level of body tempering had just reached the threshold to participate in the preliminary competition. As a result, his plan was undoubtedly much more difficult.
Fortunately, Mo Wentian had something to rely on. First of all, it was the mysterious broken knife. The knife weighed 70 kilograms and the blade was extremely solid. Mo Wentian had a lot of advantages in weapons. Secondly, what Mo Wentian learned
According to his speculation, the nameless sword technique at least surpasses the Qingming sword technique, and its power is considerable.
The most critical point is that Mo Wentian possesses internal strength in advance that should never exist during the body tempering period! This is of great benefit to Mo Wentian's long-lasting combat effectiveness. Therefore, as long as he does not encounter an opponent who is too strong, Mo Wentian
Wentian Ziyu can still handle it.
Even if he encounters a warrior at the fifth level of body tempering, Mo Wentian is still capable of fighting!
"Now it seems that it all depends on your luck in the preliminary round. If you are chosen to be with those warriors who are at the sixth or seventh level of body tempering, there is nothing you can do."
Mo Wentian sighed softly, feeling his own lack of strength again. Of course, if he met Li Yuanji in the preliminary round, he would be considered a winner, which would give Mo Wentian more time to escape.
Time passed bit by bit, and Mo Wentian sat on the same spot, silently running his internal energy to circulate in his body. Strangely enough, since his internal energy had become a little bit acquired, this far superior internal energy was gradually replaced by
Although it can't be said to be used freely by Mo Wentian, it can at least be actively operated under Mo Wentian's thoughts.
While Mo Wentian was resting his mind, there were more and more warriors in the martial arts arena. Half an hour before the competition started, almost all of them were here except for two people.
Li Yuanji of the Xiaoyao sect and Xiao Xiao of the Duanyue sect.
Looking around, the huge martial arts performance field was not full, but seemed a bit empty. There were about a hundred or so warriors who came to compete, which seemed a bit shabby compared to the hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Chu State. Although this
There is a reason why most disciples of various sects stay or go out to practice. It also shows how difficult it is for ordinary people to become a warrior.
Outside the martial arts arena, there were already three floors outside and three floors surrounded by enthusiastic ordinary people. Even if there were garrison soldiers to maintain order, they still couldn't resist everyone's passion for this competition.
Just a quarter of an hour before the competition was about to begin, suddenly, two figures, one black and one white, came from the southeast. They were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they crossed the human walls outside the martial arts field and landed gracefully on the martial arts field.
In the center of the field, just this move caused the crowd to burst into deafening cheers.
"Good form!"
"It's so amazing. Compared with the two of them, the others are just foils!"
"Look, the one in white is Li Yuanji?"
"As expected of the direct disciple of our country's National Protector Sect, look at his momentum!"
As soon as he entered the arena, Li Yuanji easily focused everyone's attention on him. The figure of the famous tree, and just the words "the great disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect" were enough to gain everyone's support.
.
Who makes the Xiaoyao Sect the well-deserved No. 1 Sword Sect in the Chu State, and even more so the country-protecting sect in the Chu State?
"Eh? Look, who is the one in black?"
"Yes, yes, if you can match Master Li in body skills, you should be a master!"
"Bah! What a master. I see, that kid is faster. If we really fight, Mr. Li will crush him to death with one hand."
"That's nature, that's nature..."
Not only the crowd outside the martial arts arena, but also all the martial artists present were looking at the man in black next to Li Yuanji, and Mo Wentian was no exception. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be what Lao Ba said.
, Xiao Xiao from the Duanyue Sect.
Xiao Xiao's name is not famous among ordinary people, but all warriors in the Chu Kingdom know the existence of such a number one person, not only because of his powerful strength and outstanding talent, but also because of Xiao Xiao
His infatuation with Princess Chu Bing made him famous far and wide.
Different from Li Yuanji, who is chic and has a strong aura, Xiao Xiao looks harmless, with soft eyes and a faint smile on his lips. As soon as his feet hit the ground, he raised his hands and bowed to all the warriors present.
, seems extremely humble.
"It's true that he lives up to his name!"
Mo Wentian sighed silently in his heart, and saw Chen Gong, who had previously mocked him, look happy and trotted to Xiao Xiao's side with a diligent look on his face. Xiao Xiao did not put on any airs and was cordial with his junior brother.
During the conversation, from time to time, acquaintances of warriors came forward to strike up a conversation, and Xiao Xiao responded to them one by one. He seemed to be well-versed in all directions and at ease.
"That person is Xiao Xiao from the Duanyue Sect. He is the son of the leader of the Duanyue Sect. His strength is similar to Li Yuanji. He is both at the eighth level of body tempering."
Just when Mo Wentian's eyes moved to Li Yuanji and he secretly clenched his fists, a voice suddenly came to his ears. Mo Wentian looked up in surprise, and saw a handsome and handsome man.
The young girl in red clothes blinked at herself.
"I am Mr. Chu's man!"
Mo Wentian raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. He didn't expect that Chu Chen would recognize him even though he was wearing a mask. He suddenly felt uneasy and couldn't help but glance at Li Yuanji.
At this moment, a gong suddenly sounded on a high platform to the south of the martial arts field. Following the sound, I saw five figures standing on the high platform. One of them was the current Emperor of Chu!
Mo Wentian's heart tightened. The sound of the gong indicated that the Young Heroes Association had officially begun...
