Chapter 2910: The opportunity to change your fate against the odds
"Why is it so busy in front?"
Looking at the noisy crowd gathered on the street, Illya couldn't help but asked curiously.
But Zhuma just stared into the distance blankly, her eyes blurred, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Knowing that Fat Cat followed Yin Tian and left her, which was a big blow to her, Illya sighed secretly and said nothing more.
"I gonna go see!"
But the fat man had already rushed forward enthusiastically, twisted his butt, and easily squeezed into the crowd.
After a while, it hurriedly came out again, with a hint of excitement in its brows and eyes.
"What, what's going on?" Black and White asked casually.
"It's a notice from the selection meeting."
Fatty stretched out his front hooves and pointed at the crowd behind him.
"Selection?"
Illya asked again, "What to choose?"
"Palace Guard."
Fatty's answer was obviously beyond her expectations.
"The palace guards are responsible for guarding the palace, and their requirements for cultivation and strength are quite high."
Illya looked puzzled and asked, "Why don't you go to the major forces to recruit? Instead of going to the streets to post notices?"
"My little brother doesn't know either."
Fatty shook his head and said, "But these people of Hanyue Kingdom seem to be in high spirits and seem to be quite excited."
"Aren't a few of them locals?"
A man's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"Uncle, are you...?"
Illya looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a middle-aged man with a half-white beard and simple clothes, who looked to be in his early fifties, looking at her with a smile.
"People here like to call me Uncle Gong."
The man replied with a smile, "I heard you talking just now. It seems that you don't know much about the palace guards. I guess you are not my Hanyue Kingdom's subjects."
"good."
Illya nodded and answered truthfully, "We are just passing by here and don't know much about the situation in Hanyue Kingdom. Is the title of palace guard very important?"
"In the eyes of those who are truly strong, it may not be anything."
Uncle Gong pointed to the bustling crowd, "But for ordinary people like us, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Opportunity?" Illya followed his words.
"good."
Uncle Gong nodded, with a hint of piety in his eyes, "This is an opportunity to change your destiny."
"Get promoted and make a fortune?" Illya seemed to have some realization.
"It's more than just getting promoted and making a fortune."
Uncle Gong shook his head, "The cultivation system of Hanyue Kingdom is different from other places. People here all cultivate an energy called 'Qi', but most of them only have superficial skills. The truly superior Qi cultivation methods are in the hands of the imperial court."
, it will not be spread at all, and the only opportunity available is to work in the palace, and palace guards are the best way for private practitioners to work in the palace."
"in this case."
Hearing the word "qi", Zhuma suddenly came to his senses and subconsciously interjected, "Did those powerful men who reached the sky level also obtain the superior qi cultivation methods from the imperial court?"
"No."
Uncle Gong's eyes wandered back and forth between Ilia and Zhuma, making no secret of his admiration for the two women's looks. "There are about twenty Tongtian strongmen in the entire Hanyue Kingdom, and only four of them are serving the imperial court."
I don’t know how those other people have cultivated to such a level. Maybe this is the so-called extraordinary talent, which ordinary people like us cannot envy."
Extraordinary talent...?
A genius in cultivation is as pure as a blank sheet of paper emotionally.
Recalling the incident between Sha Mao and A Zhu, Zhuma couldn't help but look gloomy and unhappy, and was no longer interested in talking.
"Uncle Gong, as you say..."
Illya patted her shoulder gently to express comfort, turned to look at Uncle Gong and said, "Is everyone so interested in the notice just to get the best Qi cultivation method?"
"In addition to the cultivation methods, the salary of the palace guards is also very high. Compared with being paid to kill people outside, it is countless times better to lick the blood with the tip of a knife."
Uncle Gong shook his head again, "Better secrets, higher income, more prestigious status, but the selection is open to ordinary people, so I said this is an opportunity to change my destiny."
"so good?"
Illya covered her lips with her hands, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, "For ordinary practitioners, it may not be easy to be selected, right?"
"If I were a girl, you would probably think so."
Uncle Gong couldn't help but laugh, "But what you don't know is that the selection of palace guards in Hanyue Kingdom is different from the competition of outside practitioners. Every battle will be held in a special space, and both sides of the battle will
Unable to use energy, one can only rely on pure skills to determine the outcome, and many people will be recruited every time. Therefore, even ordinary people with no cultivation skills may not have a chance to soar as long as they practice diligently.
"
"Can't use energy?"
??????55.??????
Fatty suddenly interjected, "Doesn't that mean that even if a powerful person at the level of Tongtian participates in the selection, he will most likely die at the hands of a weakling?"
"It's not impossible."
For a wild boar to speak, Uncle Gong seemed very calm and didn't seem surprised, "So those real big guys will not come to participate in the selection. Of course, this is also a good thing for us. After all, the powerful Tongtian is not only
Their cultivation is advanced and their combat experience is far beyond that of ordinary people. If we were to encounter him, ordinary cultivators would have almost no chance of winning."
"I see."
Illya nodded slightly, a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face, and suddenly the conversation changed, "Uncle Gong knows so much about the palace guards, does he also plan to participate in the selection?"
"I'm quite old."
Uncle Gong had a bit of melancholy on his face, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "How dare you have such extravagant hopes?"
Illya opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Don't hide it from the girl."
As if he saw her dilemma, Uncle Gong laughed and said, "I also participated in the selection when I was young, and I passed nine levels in a row. I was only one step away from success, but it was a pity that I fell short."
"It turns out that Uncle Gong is also a hidden master."
Illya also laughed and said, "I admire you."
"Who am I?"
Being praised by an alluring blonde beauty, Uncle Gong couldn't help but puff up his chest and said somewhat triumphantly, "It's just that I have experienced more, but I set up my own training center in order to pass on my experience to
I wonder how many young people who want to participate in the selection are interested in supporting us?"
"Training hall?"
Illya was stunned for a moment and said with a puzzled face, "We are not citizens of Hanyue Kingdom, can we still participate in the selection?"
"It wasn't allowed before."
Uncle Gong replied with a smile, "But this time, for some reason, the imperial court has relaxed the restrictions. As long as the family background is clean, all are eligible to participate in the selection, regardless of whether they are citizens of the country or not."
"Is this the first time?"
Illya and Fatty looked at each other, and for some reason, they felt a hint of conspiracy in this new policy.
"good."
Uncle Gong didn't know what she was thinking, so he nodded and replied, "It seems that the imperial court is not satisfied with the quality of the guards in recent years, and plans to expand the selection scope and recruit talents from all over the world."
"Mr. Gongshu."
Fatty suddenly thought of something, "I wonder if creatures other than the human race might participate in this selection?"
"Can."
This time, Uncle Gong answered very decisively, "There are spiritual beasts like you among the palace guards today."
"So good."
Fatty was delighted when he heard this, "I wonder how much your training gym charges..."
"It's not expensive, it's a small business."
Seeing it move, Uncle Gong immediately became energetic, with a smile on his face, "One person...a cultivator only needs two magatama, and the first five rounds will be covered, but the fee will be refunded."
"First five rounds?"
Fatty was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you just say that you had gone through nine rounds..."
"Every candidate must defeat ten opponents to pass the selection."
Uncle Gong's face turned red and he hurriedly explained, "It's just that the further you get to the back, the stronger your opponents will be, and they will rely more on talent. I can help you pass five rounds here, which is already better than 98% of the training gyms on the market. After that,
I just have to leave it to fate."
"That makes sense."
Fat Fat thought for a moment, then he readily took out two magatama pieces from somewhere and handed them over, "In that case, please give Mr. Gongshu some advice."
"It's easy to talk about."
Seeing the magatama, Uncle Gong's face immediately lit up, and he reached out to take it happily, his smile getting brighter, "Just call me Uncle Gong, sir or something like that. It sounds awkward. Let's go, we don't have much time."
Let’s go back to training right now.”
"Fat Fat, you..."
Unexpectedly, Fatty would actually spend money to participate in training. Illya instinctively wanted to ask out loud, but was stopped by its look.
"I want to participate too."
Before she could figure it out, Zhuma beside her suddenly opened her right hand, and in her palm, there were two magatama lying quietly.
"This girl."
Uncle Gong was taken aback, but did not reach out in a hurry. Instead, he kindly advised, "Participating in the selection is not a fun thing. As I just said, you can't use the energy in your body during the battle. You are so pretty.
A bright girl, if she gets raped by those rough guys..."
"I want to participate."
Zhuma interrupted coldly. The magatama in his hand suddenly changed from two to twenty, "If you don't want to teach me, I will find someone else."
"Okay."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Uncle Gong stopped trying to persuade her. Instead, he picked out two magatama stones from the twenty and said, "Without further delay, come with me."
He didn't even look at the remaining eighteen coins.
