He said he believed us. Although it was a few short words, the meaning was very simple and clear. Meng Zhiqiu must have been placed in the death group, and the result could not be changed.
"Oh, I knew it. After we came back from the night banquet, grandpa re-invited the six departments back to the main hall. It must be to implement your suggestion of dividing the qualified candidates into three groups. You know. The six departments are together and we must implement this
The proposal must go through intense discussions and political exchanges. It would be great if grandpa could make the proposal as he wished. As for your helping Meng Zhiqiu, how could the Xinglike Department not know about it? So throwing you in the death group is to put you to death and live.
"Grandpa's trust in you is also the reason why he compromised!" Zhu Daoqing sighed, and then looked at me seriously: "If I didn't believe so much in your strength, I wouldn't even be sure whether Meng Zhiqiu could qualify this time, but you can
Be careful. When the time comes, the ten qualified people may choose to cooperate and kill you first."
A chill ran down my spine. Playing nine of the same order at one time was quite fatal.
But now that it was confirmed, it was useless to say anything. After comforting each other for a while, we returned separately.
The next day, the competition was indeed held as scheduled. The list was indeed divided into three groups, each group consisted of ten people, and the result was the same as last night's discussion. Han Shanshan, Gu Fanfei and other Shenxiao Mansion's designated talents were in one group, and Meng Zhiqiu
Sure enough, he was assigned to Qian Xiguang and Li Zhongmou and became a member of the death group.
Because I wanted to help Meng Zhiqiu test the sword, I did not go to the viewing platform, but stood here in the ring.
Looking around, the stands were crowded with people, probably tens of thousands. Among them, on the side of the Zhu family, Chu Yan brought Zhu Daoyun and Zhu Daohe to the venue, and the head of the family, Zhu Junyu, was not involved because he wanted to file a court case.
Did not show up at the venue.
Prince Chang Sheng stood in the venue and after a few simple words, announced the start of the game.
After the words fell, three officials of the second grade of the Warehouse Supervisor entered the venue at the front of the queue. They came out holding three maps of mountains and seas respectively, and placed the pictures on the stage. If I guessed correctly, this should be
In order to ensure that each group will not be affected by the three groups of competition venues, each group will enter a mountain and sea map space competition. In this way, who can come out will become a suspense.
The next person to appear was the weapon supervisor holding various unblessed weapons. The materials used in these weapons were undoubtedly of the third grade, but depending on the person who blessed them, they would have different effects.
Therefore, the suspense of winning or losing depends largely on this.
The only ones left to enter were the qualified candidates and the members of the self-help formations they led. Except for Han Shanshan and Meng Zhiqiu, as well as some qualified candidates with strong connections in the six divisions, those who made it to the finals basically did not choose the third-grade sword test recommended by the director of weapons.
After all, officials will be more trustworthy if they use people they know personally.
Han Shanshan led Zhu Daoqing into the venue and turned around to say hello to me. I stood behind Meng Zhiqiu and nodded in response to them. Soon, we each found the small workshops with our names on them.
Meng Zhiqiu is a professional talent and immediately prepared the materials without saying a word. The host also asked us sword testers to choose weapons and add rune formations to our partners.
Everyone seems to have the same starting line, but the quality of the material selection is also very critical. In order to better support Meng Zhiqiu with the rune formation, first of all, we cannot choose weapons that are too strong in order, so I came to the sword area and chose
I picked up a sword that seemed to be quite soft among third-grade swords, and tried it on the spot.
"Haha, if I guess correctly, this sword tester should be the famous Xia Yitian, right?" The person who chose the sword with me was a man who looked about my age.
The eyes are full of energy.
"It's me. Forgive my blindness, which heavenly official are you?" I looked him up and down.
"I am Feng Jiande, have you heard of Xia Guan?" The young man proudly announced his name, and also looked at the other woman who was choosing a sword, and introduced: "This is Gai Chunzhen Gai.
Tianguan, your Excellency, you must have heard of it, right? He is also among the top ten swordsmen in the central third-grade Taoist body."
Gai Chunzhen picked up a thin sword and shook it lightly. The sword made a sharp buzzing sound. It looked like it was indeed very strong. Moreover, this sword was considered among the twenty various sharp swords.
One of the best quality ones on the market.
"I don't know you." I smiled faintly and put down the sharp sword in my hand, because the sword was made of too fine materials, and Meng Zhiqiu, who only had a fourth-level Taoist body, would definitely have difficulty with this sword.
"Haha, it seems that no one in Xia Guan's eyes can catch his eye. Even if he doesn't know us, he has seen the list, right?" Feng Jiande laughed. Although his words were still polite, his eyes were already showing a hint of contempt.
dissatisfied.
Only then did I remember that these two were indeed on the list. Moreover, they were the two sword test officers for Qian Xiguang and Li Zhongmou in the Death Group, so I couldn't help but take a closer look at Feng Jiande and Gai Chunzhen.
As a result, Feng Jiande took my glance as a provocation, sneered, and prepared to ridicule him verbally.
However, after Gai Chunzhen, who was silent, confirmed the rapier in his hand, he happened to see me giving up a good sword and picking up a crude sword, so she asked, "Why didn't you choose the sword just now?"
"Why choose?" I asked.
Gai Chunzhen snorted and did not answer me, but Feng Jiande said: "You are arrogant. You will choose the worst sword in a row, don't you know it?"
I saw him pick up the sharp sword I just dropped, and said with a smile: "You think it's good to pick up what others left behind?"
"You!" Feng Jiande glared at me angrily, as if he saw us arguing, and the officer in charge of the equipment supervisor looked at us. Because it was not easy to argue with me anymore, Feng Jiande could only turn around and leave in anger, taking his sword with him.
Qian Xiguang is given to talents recommended by the Executive Branch.
After all, I have used many good swords, so I can distinguish them clearly. I didn't spend too much time choosing the worst sword and sent it to Meng Zhiqiu.
Meng Zhiqiu stroked this second-grade sword and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Xia, why did you choose this one? Does it have any profound meaning?"
"This sword is more ethereal and the blade is slightly wider, making it easier to inject rune formations." I smiled.
Meng Zhiqiu looked at me gratefully and said, "But I see that Emperor Nu is not a sword that opens and closes like this... Will it be awkward to use?"
"Don't worry, as long as it's a sword, I can use it well. The key is you." I patted her arm and encouraged her.
Meng Zhiqiu nodded and started processing the broad sword using the rune formation method.
Because it is processed in thirty small workshops in the open air to enhance the viewing experience, checking the opponent's modified weapons has become the key to victory for all sword testers. After all, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles.
I looked at Han Shanshan. Zhu Daoqing undoubtedly picked a powerful gun, and Han Shanshan also started her processing. The materials she used were the lapis lazuli jade obtained in the previous game, and a transparent golden color.
The mucus seemed to surprise Zhu Daoqing and he started dancing.
And many contestants also exclaimed about this golden slime called "Chaos Gold". I thought about it, the prisoner cow used to live on the Chaos Iron, could this Chaos Gold have the same effect? What if?
Really, that would be awesome.
Of course, apart from Han Shanshan, there are also famous experts in refining and making weapons. They all used lapis lazuli and jade as the external refinement of the weapon, and also put a lot of effort into the construction of runes and formations.
Kung Fu, of course, I'm not good at Taoist runes. I can at most get some clues from the formations.
Han Shanshan's algorithm was obviously different from others, and the rune construction she adopted stunned many sword testers and weapon makers. Many people even had a sense of frustration in their eyes, which made the group in Shenxiao Mansion more suspenseful.
It has to be ordinary.
"Maybe I didn't do that well...Brother Xia, you won't blame me, right?" Everyone's eyes were on Han Shanshan, and Meng Zhiqiu seemed to feel embarrassed.
I shook my head and comforted: "She is the blazing sun in the sky, so dazzling that it illuminates everything. Although you don't have the same radiance as hers, you are still eye-catching, right?"
Although I don't care how well she did it, after saying this, my eyes really lit up because of the sword she made in her hand!
