While the two people on the stage were talking, Lei Xi had already taken the initiative to jump away. He also saw the situation clearly with the last dozen or so moves. When he used Beimang Gong, his true energy leaked out like running water, and had no lasting power, while the other party
It seemed that he was dodging everywhere, but his breath was still steady and long. If he continued to fight, he would only lose more ugly. Although he lost this battle, he benefited a lot, and the fight was smooth. There was no depression in his chest, so Qizhou clasped his fists with his hands and handed them over.
Said: "Thank you for your advice, I lost!"
He Qizhou sincerely returned the gift: "I accepted, thank you for your advice!" Lei Xi was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered on the battlefield. Through these fierce battles of more than a hundred moves, He Qizhou not only understood the martial arts of the Yunmen School, but more importantly
It is because he has adapted to the flow of true energy in the Yin Qiao channel, and he has found some control over his internal energy, and he feels a little more comfortable in sending and receiving it.
Regarding such a result, clues had already been seen on the high platform. Most people were discussing and dispersed to other locations to pay attention to other competitions.
Jiang Di was not surprised, but He Qizhou could easily resolve Bei Mang's magical skill, which had just entered the third level, which somewhat made him more vigilant;
Zhang Mufeng didn't look surprised, but He Qizhou was a little surprised. Did someone reveal his strength to the Quanzhen Sect, or was he extremely confident in himself? He didn't take it to heart at all.
What was really surprising were the dozen other candidates gathered around the fighting stage, especially the only woman, Urna from the Tianshan Sect! With her outstanding riding and archery and light kung fu, she ranked eleventh.
The first person she needed to pay attention to was Lei Xi, but she didn't expect that Lei Xi would be defeated by a silly-looking "white and tender" boy who was ranked more than 100 times!
The game is still going on. According to the regulations, the loser leaves the field, and the winner must still stand in place and wait for the next round of competition. He Qizhou sat down cross-legged and breathed in and out like other first-round winners, although he did not suffer any pain.
It's not an injury, but it took a lot of physical strength, and the pain in my right arm is also very strong.
The last few fights in the first round ended in a short time, incredibly fast, and not even one of the strong men's special moves appeared. The arrogant Jiang Di even received a punch from the opponent, and then
Hold the opponent's arm and throw him off the stage in one move. It's over in one move! It takes less time than walking onto the stage!
As the name suggests, Urna is really dark. She has big eyes, long eyelashes, small mouth and thin lips, and her teeth are as white as He Qizhou. Although her skin is dark, she is extremely pretty. The reason why He Qizhou can see so clearly is
Because after Urna pushed the opponent out of the battle stage with just her body skills, she deliberately circled around He Qizhou when she stepped down. Then, not knowing if she was provoking, she opened her mouth and smiled at Qi Zhou. How could He Qizhou show weakness?
Open your mouth and retaliate. No matter whose teeth are white, who should I, He Qizhou, be afraid of?
There was no pause in the second round of competition, and the previous round continued, again in the order of highest ranking and last appearance. This time He Qizhou appeared in the third group. The first two groups fought very fiercely, and the winner suffered a little.
Slightly injured, the candidate He Qizhou faced was from Zhili Province and ranked forty-three. He may have known that he was outmatched and was conserving his strength for the decisive battle with the loser in the afternoon. He actually admitted defeat without much resistance, which made He Qizhou quite unhappy.
The next few groups were exactly the same. The low-ranking candidates almost all came to the stage symbolically, and then quickly accepted their defeat. Although He Qizhou knew what they were thinking, according to the competition system, the losers of the second round would compete again in the afternoon.
In the duel, the winner can obtain the title of Jinshi and enter the armament hall. Therefore, instead of fighting to the death against the master, it is better to save your strength and give it your all in the loser's match in the afternoon. Although He Qizhou understands, he has a lot of contempt for this.
Why should we waste an opportunity to seek advice from experts and prove our strength?
Since the venue where He Qizhou was in the first round took more time, it was the last of the four venues to be completed. All the candidates who had finished the competition in the other three venues gathered together and watched the last few sets of competitions together. Tianxingyuan
The other four people who passed the first round came behind He Qizhou. Zhang Qingrou, Jiang Damin, Huang Zhendong and other three people had left the field one after another due to their defeat. Liu Junzhi seemed particularly excited. As soon as he ran over, he cheered to He Qizhou: "Master He, I won both rounds.
Win!"
When He Qizhou saw blood stains everywhere on his white training clothes, he couldn't help but feel worried and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, half of the blood is Wang Yan's! People from the military equipment hall have already helped treat the injury just now!" Liu Junzhi said with a smile.
He Qizhou felt his pulse. The injury was not serious, but not light either. Fortunately, there was no need to compete today, but he was still a little surprised and said: "You defeated Wang Yan of Tianshu Academy? Well done!"
"Liu Muzhi lost in the second round!" Liu Junzhi's voice suddenly choked, and he bowed deeply to He Qizhou. It has always been his dream to surpass Liu Muzhi, and now he has done it!
"No, no, remember to bring some money over tonight to buy medicine!" He Qizhou couldn't stand others being like this.
Among the four, Li Ruogu won easily. Yang Shan and Liu Junzhi fought hard to pass. Only Lin Chuan lost to the ninth-ranked Jinling sect master and suffered minor injuries. However, Lin Chuan was not depressed at all.
He Qizhou knows his temper best. What this kid lacks most is fighting spirit. If he takes a good rest at noon, he will still have a good chance in the afternoon.
He Qizhou asked Lin Chuan and Liu Junzhi to take the Shenling Pills he carried with him. He found that Xu Mu had also walked over at some point, and said to He Qizhou with a smile: "Brother He, are you barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes?"
He Qizhou looked at his feet in the snow and said with a wry smile: "Brother Xu, I am so naive without shoes - it's cold, there's nothing I can do about it."
"Would you like one for you?" Xu Mu asked, pointing to his leather boots.
"Thanks, it's just your little feet? I'm afraid they can't even fit into my hands. Oh, do you still have the little note?" He Qizhou asked softly.
Xu Mu did not comment, smiled and turned around to go to his fellow disciples.
When Zhang Mufeng was the last one to step off the fighting platform, several professors from the armament hall asked the candidates not to leave for the time being. After a while, the deputy priest Jiu Gequan, who had come down from the high platform at some unknown time, came to the rammed earth fighting platform and said:
With all the candidates in the audience speaking loudly, he said loudly: "Dear candidates, I am Ge Quan of the Military Academy. Those who have reported their names below please come up to the stage and line up in order."
After saying that, he took the still-unprinted list from the professor next to him and started reading: "Xu Mu, Jiang Zhu, Zhang Mufeng..."
When all thirty-two people came on stage, Ge Quan smiled and said: "Congratulations to everyone, welcome to the armament hall! But don't relax, go back and prepare for the competition in the next two days. Starting from this afternoon, all competitions will be moved to the indoor school field.
You can also watch the battle. Everyone in the audience, you still have to fight hard. The winner will be admitted to this hall. The competition will officially begin in the future. Please take the time to rest and heal!"
He Qizhou looked up and saw that almost half of the dignitaries on the high platform were gone. Except for the people from the Arms Hall and the four schools and six factions, almost no one cared about the afternoon competition.
Afterwards, the professor of the Military Academy announced the list for the afternoon match. By coincidence, the person Lin Chuan was competing against turned out to be Chen Zhifeng, the eldest son of the Chen family.
After having lunch in the cafeteria, He Qizhou carefully went through the Jincheng sect's martial arts with Lin Chuan. He Qizhou was sure that the other party would definitely propose using a sword. However, although Lin Chuan was slightly injured, with his current strength he was completely
Can easily win.
Several other people in Tianxingyuan said they wanted to take a look because Lin Chuan still had a competition, and by the way, they could get familiar with the venue for tomorrow's competition. Most of the other candidates who had advanced also reported the same idea, so almost no one went back after lunch.
Before the time was up, everyone sat down in twos and threes around the fighting platform.
Among the thirty-two people who were directly promoted, the Yunmen sect had the most people, six in total, followed by five people each from Jinling and Quanzhen, then four people each from Tianshan, Emei and Tianxingyuan, and two people from Tianshu Yuan, namely Chang Kai.
Among the victorious brothers, Chang Kai defeated Qiu Huan of the Huashan sect. In the end, Shanxi and Hebei each got a place. The Shanxi candidate was none other than Jiang Can!
He Qizhou discovered that because Xu Mu was a close disciple of Li Jichen, all the Jinling candidates called him uncle, and he was the natural leader among them. The strange thing was that Xu Mu was still chatting and laughing with the Emei disciples, and called him brother-in-law with Quanzhen Zhang Mufeng, Lianyun
Whenever Jiang Zhu and Jiang Di at the door met his eyes, they would nod in greeting.
He Qizhou sighed, it was all his fault that he had traveled so little in the world, and no wonder that guy knew the details of the candidates from each school! Just when he was eating, Xu Mu brought a pair of cloth shoes to Qi Zhou, saying they belonged to his senior brother, and He Qizhou took them.
After a while, it was a little bigger, and it still fit the foot, but there seemed to be something in one of the shoes. When I took it out, there was another small note: "Urna, the pinnacle of the four meridians, a beautiful woman, don't pity the beauty and cherish the jade." Although.
He secretly blamed Xu Mu for what he was thinking about? But he was still very grateful in his heart.
The confrontation in the afternoon was obviously much more intense than in the morning. If you win, you will be a Jinshi, and you will have a bright future. If you lose, there is almost no possibility of entering the armament hall!
When the Arms Academy was established, Yang Zheng made an agreement with Jiang Cong. Except for those selected in the martial arts examination, you can accept others with extraordinary talents or imperial orders. The Arms Academy would not accept them at all, and would rather sacrifice individual talents.
Absolute fairness must be ensured. After that, the Armed Forces Hall was indeed filled with more elites. Coupled with the talents sent by the four schools, the Qi army's combat power was significantly improved, and only then was the overall victory achieved in the early stages of the Third Qi-Zhou War.
, Therefore, this rule has always been an iron rule that the Arms Academy abides by.
Lin Chuan played in the ninth group. Both sides chose swords. Six of the first eight groups chose to use weapons. This rarely happened in the morning competition. After all, the risk of injury increased greatly after using weapons. Among the six groups, there were
The strength of the two groups was very close, and they even used moves that would kill them both. Fortunately, the referee on the field was very powerful and knocked down the weapons of both sides in time. In the end, the winner was decided with bare hands. After the first eight groups of sixteen people competed, there were actually twelve
People suffered varying degrees of injuries, and the rammed earth platform was stained with blood.
Chen Zhifeng, who was standing on the stage, no longer had the arrogance outside Jianghu Tower. He had seen Lin Chuan's performance in the four-school competition with his own eyes. Although he had made a step forward compared to the previous year, his ranking was due to his literary talent.
Although he was trying to get a higher ranking, he had no confidence at all when it came to fighting alone, and his younger brother Chen Zhiyu didn't even get into the 128th place.
Lin Chuan's heart was not at peace either. It wasn't that he was afraid of Chen Zhifeng, but what Shi Lan said when he walked past him just now made him feel more hesitant.
