According to the unwritten rules of the imperial court, examiners are generally not allowed to participate in general-level martial arts examinations except for the literary examination. However, this does not prevent Yang Xuanlan from sending Yang Hu to investigate the situation.
"Has Yang Ji... already defeated Zhang Dang?"
There was no change on Yang Xuanlan's face, but there were bursts of chill in his eyes.
Zhang Dang is a disciple of the Silver Blood Sect, and Yang Xuanlan has met him. This man has extremely high martial arts skills, and his fighting style is extremely aggressive. Even famous disciples of many sects may not be able to match this man.
Yang Xuanlan was the examiner of the martial arts examination, and he was the one who arranged the match between Yang Ji and Zhang Dang. In Yang Xuanlan's plan, Zhang Dang was an extremely important part.
It is a touchstone to test Yang Ji's strength.
Therefore, Yang Xuanlan sent Yang Hu to sneak into the martial arts examination early to observe the outcome of this battle. For Yang Xuanlan, Zhang Dang's failure was an early warning.
It warned that Yang Ji's strength had reached a dangerous level and that he had to deal with it personally.
"I can't believe that this little beast has reached this level."
Yang Xuanlan pressed one hand on the brown armrest and stood up slowly. The expression on his face remained unchanged, but the robe on his body moved automatically without any wind, and a powerful breath slowly came from his body.
spread out.
"In this case, we can't keep him."
Yang Xuanlan raised his head slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his five slender and powerful fingers made crackling sounds in the red sleeves.
"The next one should be Sui Yiqiu. Let him play."
Yang Xuanlan folded his hands and said calmly.
(Attachment: It was previously written as Sui Yiqiu, but it does not affect reading, so I will not correct it one by one here.)
"Sui Yiqiu? But is this useful, Master? Sui Yiqiu's strength seems to be about the same as Zhang Dang's. Can he really defeat that kid Yang Ji? Otherwise, let's go think of a way and give him some medicine.
.”
Yang Hu clenched his fists as he spoke, with a sinister look on his face.
"No need!"
Yang Xuanlan waved his hand and rejected Yang Hu's proposal without hesitation:
"Don't mention the drugging thing again. The martial arts examination is a major event for the court. When you drugged Yang Ji, did you want me to talk about it and leave something for those in the court to attack?"
Yang Xuanlan glanced at Yang Hu as he spoke.
Whoosh!
Hearing this sentence, Yang Hu's expression changed. He was about to break into a cold sweat. Although King Taiyuan held a high and powerful position, he also had political enemies in the court.
The young master has just married Princess Chaoyang and serves as the examiner of the martial arts examination. If he is attacked because of this matter, then he will really die.
"But Young Master, Sui Yiqiu is not strong enough to deal with Yang Ji."
Yang Hu looked struggling and unwilling.
"Huh, can't you deal with it?"
Yang Xuanlan smiled when he heard this:
"Cunning Rabbit Sanku, if Sui Yiqiu really only had this ability, how could he have defeated Song Ba, who was as famous as Song Li?"
"Sir, you mean that Sui Yiqiu still has some means that he hasn't used yet?"
Yang Hu was shocked, suddenly blessed and blurted out.
"Oh, you don't have to get involved in this matter. I take care of everything myself."
Yang Xuanlan flicked his sleeves and said without any doubt.
"This,... is the young master.",
Yang Hu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
There are rules for the martial arts examination. It is almost impossible to change the opponent one challenges. However, for Yang Xuanlan, it is completely different.
Because the contestants and order of the martial arts examinations were determined by him.
In just a few breaths, an order was signed by Yang Xuanlan and sent to the captains in the Martial Palace ahead.
…
"0039 Sui Yiqiu wins!"
Amidst bursts of cheers, Sui Yiqiu walked down from the ring dripping with sweat. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and even his hair was wet.
"Senior Brother Sui, congratulations."
Several Shuiyi disciples rushed forward and surrounded Sui Yiqiu in the center with excitement on their faces. They were even more excited than if they had won the game.
The reputation of Shuiyi Sect in Langya County is far inferior to that of Iron Sword and Bronze Clothes. Sui Yiqiu was able to defeat the "elder brothers" of other major sects in the battle just now, which made all the disciples of Shuiyi Sect feel proud.
"Thanks."
Sui Yiqiu responded with a smile, but there was not much joy in his heart.
"Yiqiu, you also know the situation of the sect. It's not that the sect won't protect you, but the current situation, we can't afford to offend the Iron Sword Sect at all. At your current age, once you are a high school martial arts scholar, you must be one of those with amazing talents.
.You will have a bright future and endless glory. Even at the risk of offending the Iron Sword Sect, we, the Water Sect, will protect you..."
In the dark, what echoed in Sui Yiqiu's mind was what the sect elder said to him before setting off:
"But if you don't have high school, after three years, your talent will be nothing more than a passing talent. Even if you become a martial arts scholar, it won't help, and you are destined to not have much of a future. The sect cannot risk everything just for you.
It’s such a big risk to go against the Iron Sword Sect.”
"Therefore, for our Shui faction and for yourself, work hard!"
In the dim room, Sui Yiqiu clearly remembered that moment, Elder Geng's eyes were more dazzling than the lights.
Everyone only knew that Sui Yiqiu had great success after defeating Song Ba. But they didn't know that the Shui Yi faction and Sui Yiqiu were under tremendous pressure after this incident.
The reason why the sect has been supporting him despite the pressure from the Iron Sword Sect is because it firmly believes that he can become a "martial arts scholar" in this martial arts examination.
Without this premise, all of this would cease to exist.
Sui Yiqiu knew in his heart that this martial arts examination was more than just a martial arts examination for him. It was also related to his future future and the direction of his entire destiny.
Without the support of the sect, he will not be able to stand firm!
"No matter what, I will get the title of Wu Xiucai this time. I will never lose to anyone."
Sui Yiqiu walked to the corner of the crowd, closed his eyes, and said silently in his heart.
Lai!
Sui Yiqiu shook his fingers, and something the size of a thumb, shaped like a dice, slid down from his sleeve and swung back and forth between Sui Yiqiu's five fingers.
This thing was as black as ink. Although it looked small, it was obviously very heavy. When it moved back and forth between Sui Yiqiu's five fingers, it gave off an extremely powerful feeling.
Sui Yiqiu felt the slight coldness and hardness coming from his fingertips, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
This "mysterious beast seal" is Sui Yiqiu's biggest support.
From the beginning of the martial arts examination to the present, Sui Yiqiu has never used it, no matter how powerful the opponent is. Therefore, no one has ever known that Sui Yiqiu actually has such a magical weapon.
"The trump card that no one knows is the trump card, and the mirror that everyone knows is just a trick." Sui Yiqiu knew this deeply and believed in it.
"In the current competition, I don't need to use this magic weapon. I will only wait a few days later when I meet those disciples from Mount Paektu, and then I will suddenly use it and get the result with one fell swoop. Only in this way can I succeed in one fell swoop!"
Sui Yiqiu secretly made plans in his heart.
The foundation of the small sect is far less profound than that of the large sect. What's more, the opponents are disciples of the five holy places. Sui Yiqiu deeply understands that compared with the disciples of these holy places, he has no advantage at all.
Only in this way can I defeat the many strong people in this year's martial arts examination and jump into the final competition.
"0058 Yang Ji!"
"0039 Sui Yiqiu!"
"Come on!"
…
When the sound came from the ring, Yang Ji and Sui Yiqiu, on both sides of the north and south, were shocked, and they all opened their eyes. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
