Chapter Eighteen The Fundamentals of Life and Death
In the quarter-finals battle, Qianye won easily because he eliminated Song Zian in advance and the opponent he encountered was obviously low in fighting spirit.
However, Song Zining faced off against Song Zian's guest warrior. Due to yesterday's battle, the two sides were completely at loggerheads. The guest warrior attacked him as soon as he came up, and even traded injuries for injuries. It was obvious that he wanted to kill Song Zining.
However, Song Zining finally showed his amazing combat power in this battle. He used the secret combat skill of the Song Dynasty: the Beacon Fire Spear. This marksmanship is suitable for group battles on the battlefield. In his hands, he has broken the army.
With such power, the two sides did not fight for too long, and the guest warrior was directly strangled on the spot.
This was the first battle in this martial arts exam that cost lives, but no one criticized him anymore. Song Zian lost another general, and the loss was heavy.
The top four have now been formed, Qianye will face Song Ziqi, and Song Zining’s opponent is Song Zicheng.
Song Ziqi has just stepped into the threshold of a warrior, and his combat power is still a little behind Song Zian. Qianye has been promoted to the ninth level after drinking Tianfeng Jade Dew. There is no suspense in this battle. Qianye doesn't even need the Eye Technique: Control.
After arriving, with a flurry of swordsmanship, Song Ziqi was cut off and wounded.
If Song Tu hadn't been watching him with eager eyes, Qianye would have wanted to leave Song Ziqi with some disability. But now, Song Ziqi has to lie in bed for three to five days without being able to get off the ground.
A big war broke out between Song Zining and Song Zicheng.
As the eldest son and grandson of the clan leader, Song Zicheng has always occupied the first place in the line of heirs. His resources are far superior to Song Zining's. He should have had a comprehensive advantage in terms of force power, combat skills and weapons. However, as soon as the two sides appeared, everyone discovered that Song Zining had already changed
The equipment is actually all level six combat equipment.
Even the Song clan, who was famous for his wealth, was moved by everyone. Song Zian's only weapon was level six, and Song Zicheng only had two pieces of level six armor. Before the big exam began, Mrs. An Guogong gave Song Zining a level six in front of everyone.
The one-time defense ring is actually used to protect his life in the ring.
Because everyone knows that Song Zining's paternal and maternal lines are not obvious, and his future wife clan will still be a noble clan, with no accumulation at all. Based on his current ranking of the Song clan's heirs, the resources and profits he can allocate, let alone a set of six-level equipment, can
It’s already pretty good if you have enough level 4 armor and level 5 weapons.
Of course, all the elders also know that Song Zining has a private property called Ningyuan Group, but who among the adult members of the Song clan does not have a few factories and workshops? But if this set of combat equipment comes from that private property, it means that the scale has been reached
The gain is indeed not small. How many years has he been in charge independently?
In an instant, many elders felt strange in their hearts.
Mrs. An Guogong suddenly asked: "Zhongnian, Zining is also from your branch. What is the origin of those gadgets on his body?"
The leader of the clan, Song Zhongnian, was also looking at Song Zining. After hearing the words, he pondered for a moment and then said: "In my opinion, these weapons should be partly from the accumulation of private property in his name, and partly from connections."
Raising money is equivalent to borrowing money, but the elders of the Song clan nodded one after another. Being able to borrow money is also a skill.
"This kid Zining is getting better and better." As soon as the ancestor said this, the smiles of several elders immediately became stiff.
Song Zining's winning style in this battle was completely different from the previous one. Facing Song Zicheng's "Embroidered Clothes Sword Technique" that was both offensive and defensive, he opened up the field of "Three Thousand Floating Leaves Technique" as soon as he appeared on the stage.
At this moment, in the area with a radius of ten feet in the field, fallen leaves are flying, mixed with the slightest hint of rain, as if it is late autumn. Countless force manifestations as fine as cow hair appear in the void, densely woven into a network at one moment, and the defense is airtight, and the next moment they sense
The external force attack was turned into a wind blade and spun back to counterattack.
Few of the Song Clan disciples who were watching the battle had seen this secret technique that had been practiced for hundreds of years, but the elders had some understanding of it, so everyone had different expressions, but this time they all seemed to have their own concerns, and even the conversation was difficult.
Missing, there was silence on the high platform.
"Three Thousand Floating Leaves Technique", like many top-level secrets, is divided into three levels and nine levels. Generally speaking, most people will stop at the middle level throughout their lives. High-level ones can only rely on comprehension and chance, without any trickery.
No matter what kind of high-grade secret method, once you enter the high level, there will be no obstacles to breaking through the last few levels of the general, which also means that there is the possibility of attacking the divine general.
Song Zining's "Three Thousand Floating Leaves Technique" in front of him has actually reached the realm of "Twilight Autumn Mountain Tour", which is the fifth intermediate realm! In terms of the realm of secret techniques alone, Song Zining is already the first among the younger generation of the Song clan, and the following ones
Those few will not be able to catch up with him for at least a few years.
Song Zicheng's only advantage is the force. His combat skills are not weak. He is about to break through to the middle level, but Song Zining is evened out by Song Zining's superiority in weapons. Both sides have more than enough defense and insufficient offense, so a fight is inevitable.
protracted war.
This battle lasted for two hours, and Song Zining finally ran out of force and was defeated.
Although Song Zicheng could still help Song Zining, his face was as pale as paper when he came off the stage, his steps were sloppy, and he almost couldn't make it past the edge of the arena in the last few steps. If Song Zining could hold on for another ten minutes, he would be the first to fall.
Song Zicheng.
In the afternoon, the decisive battle will begin between Song Zicheng and Qianye.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, Song Zicheng simply said: "I admit defeat!"
He was too exhausted in the battle with Song Zining. Even after using a good medicine, he has not fully recovered from the force overdraft. Qianye defeated Song Ziqi with ease, and he was almost recovered after resting. This battle was completely useless.
beat.
When Song Tu announced the results of the competition, many elders of the Song clan looked strange on the high platform. Song Zhongxing sneered, which sounded extremely harsh. The rules of the martial arts test for the Song clan to select successors were extremely favorable to the children of the Song clan, and the result was that the leader
Instead, it was taken away by an outsider. If this matter was told, the Song clan would suffer some loss of face.
However, the elders had mixed opinions about Song Zicheng's admission of defeat. This is also a characteristic of the Song clan who is business-oriented. If you see something you can't do, just give up and find another way.
Mrs. An Guogong said at this time: "Ask the child and Zining to come up together. I will have a few words with them."
A moment later, Qianye and Song Zining climbed up to the high platform and stood in front of Mrs. An Guogong. Until this moment, Qianye had the opportunity to observe this legendary ancestor of the Song clan up close. He just glanced at it and quickly lowered his head.
Although Mrs. An Guogong has snow-like hair on her temples, her face is not as old as expected. If she dyed her hair black, she would probably think that she was a middle-aged lady, but her eyes full of vicissitudes of time quietly reveal her age.
's secret.
When Mrs. Anguo's eyes fell on Qianye, she only looked at him and did not use her senses to explore his force and body. This small detail made Qianye feel a little comfortable and relaxed.
After taking a look, Mrs. An Guogong said: "Yes, both children are good. Zi Ning can be friends with you, that is also his blessing."
Friend? Qianye felt a slight movement in his heart after hearing these words. He just said: "Thank you, Madam, for the compliment."
Mrs. An Guogong smiled at her left and right and said: "This child is very talented and can talk so well. I like it very much. Someone, please bring my box."
The maid standing aside brought a nanmu box inlaid with silver and opened it in front of everyone. There were three force bombs inside.
This force bomb is silver in color, but it is not as shiny as mithril, but has a rich and obscure depth. In addition, the pattern on the missile body is unique, and it looks like there are multiple layers of structures nested in it. From the design idea, it is consistent with
The works of the master from Dog Paw Town are similar in three aspects, but the workmanship is particularly superior.
At the signal of Mrs. Anguo, Qianye took the box of Force bombs from the maid's hand. After getting it in his hand, he was shocked. The force fluctuations emanating from the missiles were even stronger than the Mithril magic bullets.
Much more intense.
Mrs. Anguo Gong said gently: "This is the self-produced silver-refined sun bullet of the Song Dynasty. It is slightly different from those on the market. It is rare for you to win the first prize, and I don't have anything good at hand, so I will give you some gadgets.
Use it for self-defense."
The elders next to them were still able to keep their composure, but the Song clan disciples below were not so good at cultivating qi. Many of them had expressions of pain and envy, which was quite exciting.
The refined silver sun bullet is a killer weapon alongside the black titanium annihilation bomb, and the Song family's self-produced silver sun bullet has been significantly improved. Each glow is made by hand, requiring dozens of master craftsmen to work for several months.
.There is a slight difference in what Mr. An Guo said, but according to the standards of normal people, it is a huge difference.
This kind of silver-refined blazing sun bullet is a special killing weapon of the Song clan. Even with only a level 4 or 5 force gun, it can kill the Dark Viscount in one blow. They are usually exclusively used by the Imperial Guards. Occasionally, a small amount is leaked out.
It would cause strong men to rob them. Even Song Zicheng and Song Zian only had two of them as a means of survival, but Song Zining, with his previous status, had never obtained one.
Now Qianye is a warrior with a foreign surname, but he has obtained three of them all at once. How can the children of the Song clan not be envious or jealous?
Mrs. An Guogong waited for Qianye to collect the box, then looked around and said: "The greatest enemy of life and death for our human race is the dark race. So when it comes to the fundamentals of survival, we have to stay on the battlefield with the dark race. The Song clan established its clan based on business.
, in fact, it is also to provide support for the frontline battlefield.
Hold on. Don't think I'm giving you too much. These little things in the hands of this child are the lives of three Dark Viscounts. If they fall into the hands of you unscrupulous descendants, they will probably be exchanged for business capital and become
Is it hidden in some high-end weapons arsenal?"
This sentence revealed the thoughts of many people, and they broke into cold sweat at that moment.
Mrs. An Guogong sighed and said: "Martial arts can resist foreigners on the outside, but it is the foundation of a clan on the inside. The original intention of these ten years of great examinations is to reverse the weakness of our Song clan, but there are still people who don't understand.
This is the truth. I am accustomed to using power and tactics on weekdays, but I can't change my behavior in situations where real swords and guns are needed. If things go on like this, what kind of blood will there be? When it comes to life and death, can I still count on you?"
"The word "family" does not mean it is given to a certain family and will not be changed. Thousands of years ago, there were seven families in the founding of the country. In just two hundred years, the seven families became three families. When the empire was revived, it was once again promoted.
To the Nine Clan, how prosperous it was! But counting from the time when the Zhu Clan was downgraded, to today, it has been more than 300 years since the Four Clan were separated..."
Qianye held his breath and listened. This was the first time that he learned about the history of the changes in the clans. Such details of the evolution of the upper echelons of the empire were not available in military-dominated places like Huangquan and Red Scorpion.
But then Qianye glanced at Song Zining again. The latter was listening with his eyes down like everyone else, still looking gentle and harmless, looking no different from usual.
But based on Qianye's understanding of him, Song Zining was very worried at the moment, and he didn't feel much joy about getting good grades in the martial arts exam. It seemed that Song Zining's depression became very obvious after the battle between Qianye and Song Zian yesterday.
Thinking of what had happened in the past few days, Qianye sighed inwardly. Maybe he should find a time to talk to Song Zining. But after all, the Song clan and he were in the same blood and were connected by muscle and bone. No matter what kind of decision he made,
Even if Guo Jue is like Song Zining, it will be extremely difficult to do it, right?
