The death of Emperor Shun heralded the end of an era and the beginning of a new era.
In this new era, we will face countless setbacks and tribulations.
The battle for management rights is the first of countless setbacks and tribulations.
There is nothing worth arguing about in the arena, this is all tacitly understood.
Similarly, Ning Chen's Hundreds of Academies will fight on behalf of Wu Chao. This is also a tacit understanding that everyone has known for a long time.
So when the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters and the Buddhist Kingdom of the Western Regions proposed that hundreds of academies must participate in the battle.
Wu Zhao didn't bother with them and agreed directly.
Anyway, Ning Chen has made arrangements, so he can just wait and see.
Apart from the matter of who will fight, the rest is pretty simple.
All everyone needs to do is select a date and then set up the arena.
The date of the fight was set seven days after Emperor Shun was buried.
The arena is quite simple, so I chose the arena in Dongshi.
It was here that Ning Chen slapped the third prince and the others in the face last time.
But this time, Wu Zhao will not allow Wu Anghu to come.
All surrounding shops have been requisitioned.
Ning Chen’s previous fight was just a small fight, but this time it’s not a small fight.
And the matter is so important that no environmental factors are allowed to exist.
The reason why the arena was not set in the Wu Dynasty Palace was also to avoid the influence of environmental factors.
Since we want to win, we must win thoroughly, and we must win so that the demon clan and the Buddhist kingdom have nothing to say.
As for the events above the arena, they will be broadcast live nationwide using the magic circle.
This is Wu Zhao's first battle after taking charge, and he must show momentum.
Only a hearty victory can make Wu Zhao's throne a little more stable.
The list of names Ning Chen had given to Wu Zhao, and the two people Ning Chen wanted arrived in Fengjing five days after Emperor Shun was buried.
Goodbye Xu Muzhi is still such a coquettish guy, and he is still a loyal imitator of Kong Jijiu.
"Old Xu, your clothes look a little whiter." Ning Chen stepped forward and stopped Old Xu's neck.
Xu Muzhi pushed Ning Chen away in disgust and said, "Our relationship is not that close yet."
Ning Chen put his arms around Xu Muzhi's neck and said playfully: "Brother Xu, I heard that you are at the Great Wall of Integrity. You often say, 'I, Xu, have done what I have done all my life, why do I need to explain to others.'"
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Xu Muzhi left and denied, "I didn't."
"Brother Xu, don't be so nervous. It doesn't matter if you say it. As long as you help me win the next arena battle, this sentence will be your original sentence from now on. I will never say it again." Ning Chen said to Xu Muzhi.
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Xu Muzhi's eyes lit up slightly and he said, "Are you telling the truth?"
Ning Chen stretched out his hand and said: "We can high-five and swear that as long as you win the game, this sentence will be yours from now on. Even if someone asks me, I will say that this sentence is unique to you."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Xu Muzhi thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, it's a deal."
After the two high-fived each other, Ning Chen couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "Young man, I can't control you to death."
Ning Chen knows very well who Xu Muzhi is.
You can't beg such a person.
If you beg him, his butt will fly out of the solar system.
And once you ask him, you can't tell what will come out of his mouth.
The shortcomings of such people are also very obvious.
They are face-saving and need face.
So Ning Chen took advantage of this shortcoming and directly took advantage of Xu Muzhi.
Don’t you want face? I will give you face.
You must be willing to pay for my life.
After arranging Xu Muzhi, Ning Chen waited for a while in the teleportation array in the palace, and the teleportation array lit up again.
Then a little boy with a round face, a tender pink face, and a very cute face, wearing a blue robe, appeared on the teleportation array.
Ning Chen looked at the little Doudin in front of him for several seconds.
This is the disciple Yun Xuanzi said was extremely talented and could definitely win against demons and Buddhists.
After Xiao Douding stood firm, he looked around curiously and said in surprise: "So this is the palace. It's really big and beautiful."
Ning Chen coughed and said, "You are the disciple that Taoist Master Yun Xuanzi mentioned, right?"
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Xiao Douding looked at Ning Chen, performed a Taoist ceremony in a decent manner, and said to Ning Chen: "It's me, Xiaodao Huijing has met the head of Ningyuan."
Ning Chen carefully looked at the little bean in front of him, and he didn't think that she could defeat those big demons who were more than twice as tall as her.
"Tell me the truth, are you a young disciple who sneaked out to play?
If you tell me the truth, I promise I won't blame you.
But once you get into the ring, it's a matter of life and death.
By then I might not be able to save you in time." Ning Chen still expressed deep doubts about Hui Jing in front of him.
Hui Jing seemed to have expected that Ning Chen would be suspicious. She directly took out a picture stone and handed it to Ning Chen and said: "Ning Yuan Chief, in this picture stone, there is proof of my master. Ning Yuan Chief has seen me."
After Master’s message, you knew that I was genuine.”
Ning Chen took the shadow stone, and sure enough, there was a message from Yun Xuanzi in the shadow stone.
After reading Yun Xuanzi's message, Ning Chen believed that the little Douding in front of him was the candidate recommended to him by Yun Xuanzi.
Although Yun Xuanzi's words have already proved that the person in front of him is the person he wants.
But Ning Chen still felt unconvinced to let such a pretty little guy go on the ring to fight those big monsters with seven or eight tentacles.
"Ning Yuan leader, please rest assured. Xiaodao is still confident in dealing with the demon clan and those bald heads." Hui Jing seemed to see the doubts in Ning Chen's heart and took the initiative to say to Ning Chen.
Huijing had already said so, what else could Ning Chen say.
Although he planned to use this little bean curd, Ning Chen still had to explain some things clearly to this little bean curd.
"Okay, I will believe you for the time being. But I told you in advance that we can only win this battle and not lose. If we lose, your traditional Taoist sect may have trouble replacing the Changsheng Taoist Sect."
After listening to Ning Chen's warning, Hui Jing nodded again: "Xiao Dao understands, so Ning Yuan Head can just rest assured."
Xiao Douding said so surely that Ning Chen no longer thought about anything else.
Yun Xuanzi must know the deep meaning of this. Since he knows the deep meaning of this, Yun Xuanzi also sent people here, which shows that Yun Xuanzi still has great confidence in himself as his disciple.
In this case, Ning Chen also chose to believe her.
"You follow me back to my house later, and when it's time to compete, I will take you directly to the ring." Ning Chen said to Hui Jing.
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Huijing did not respond immediately. Instead, she was a little embarrassed and twisted her Taoist robe with both hands.
After glancing at Huijing, Ning Chen asked Huijing, "Want to take a stroll in Fengjing City?"
Huijing nodded directly as if pounding garlic.
"Can."
Before Huijing could become happy, Ning Chen changed the subject and said, "But you have to wait until after the arena. After the arena, if you win, you can wander around Fengjing City as you like, and I will pay for all the expenses."
Hui Jing was a little disappointed at first, but after hearing all the consumption, Ning Chen paid the bill.
He immediately smiled and nodded.
Looking at Hui Jing, Ning Chen felt that this little girl was much easier to deceive than Xu Muzhi.
Xu Muzhi just had to say a few words to him.
Little girl Huijing has to spend her own money.
After bringing Jing and Xu Muzhi home.
Xu Muzhi was immediately abandoned by everyone, and Hui Jing immediately became the favorite of everyone in the Ning family.
There is no way, there is really no comparison between an old man in his fifties and a pretty little girl.
Although the yin in the Ning family is strong and the yang is weak, even if those women want to see men, wouldn't it be better to see their own adults?
Huijing's mouth was quite sweet, and she deceived the four Xia Zhu sisters so much that the four sisters almost gave all their dowries to Xiao Douding.
By observing Ning Chen, he could also tell that this little Dou Ding belongs to the kind of little loli with a dark belly.
The appearance is very deceptive, but in fact it is really dark inside.
With such a personality, Ning Chen feels relatively stable about the upcoming arena competition.
Except for Little Fat Dragon, no one in the whole family dislikes Hui Jing.
The little fat dragon doesn't like Hui Jing because it feels that Hui Jing's arrival has taken away the love that belongs to it.
Of course, Bai Yaoyao doesn't like or dislike Hui Jing.
There were just a few people, not enemies. Bai Yaoyao didn't even bother to take a second look.
Little Fat Dragon didn't like Hui Jing, but Huijing approached Little Fat Dragon with excitement on her face.
"Here are the delicious foods for you." Huijing gave all the delicious foods that Xia Zhu and the others gave her to Little Fatty.
The little fat dragon looked at the snacks, swallowed, then turned his head stubbornly, and said in an honest voice: "I won't eat your food even if I starve to death."
Huijing waved a large piece of peanut candy made by Xia Zhu in front of the little fat dragon and said, "It's very fragrant. You don't want me to eat it all."
The little fat dragon likes to eat sweets the most. Faced with such temptation, the little fat dragon just rolled his tongue and put a large piece of peanut candy into his mouth.
"It's delicious. I'll give these all to you." Huijing said as she pushed all the snacks to the little fat dragon.
The little fat dragon had Hui Jing's mind, so he slurped it all up and ate it all in his mouth.
After watching the little fat dragon finish eating, Huijing said to the little fat dragon, "Are we considered friends now?"
The little fat dragon thought for a moment and said: "We can barely be considered friends."
Huijing smiled happily and said: "Since we are good friends, I have shared my good things with you. Shouldn't you also share some of your good things with me?"
As soon as the little fat dragon heard Huijing's words, he turned his head and walked away unsteadily.
Huijing turned around and stopped in front of Xiao Panglong and said, "Why are you leaving? Aren't we good friends?"
Little Fat Dragon said angrily: "We are not friends, I want to leave."
After saying that, the little fat dragon flew away directly.
Huijing was left alone and in a mess.
And Ning Chen watched the whole process.
Ning Chen was not surprised at all that Huijing would have such a result.
The little fat dragon has been around Ning Chen for a long time, and Ning Chen has almost figured out the little fat dragon's temperament.
It's okay to eat food, but if you want it as a treasure, don't even think about it.
Time passed by in a hurry, and it was time for the arena competition in a blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Ning Chen called Xiao Douding and Xu Muzhi together and once again confirmed with them the importance of this battle.
At the same time, he repeatedly confirmed with them that today's battle must be won but not defeated.
This must be emphasized because Ning Chen has already made a plan to lose first.
If you fail here, it means you have to win the remaining two games.
Xiao Douding and Xu Muzhi both solemnly assured Ning Chen that they would definitely win.
With such a guarantee, Ning Chen can rest assured that he will be the first to be defeated.
A group of four people sat together in Ning Chen's Masalais and headed directly to Dongshi.
Today the Wu Dynasty will fight the people from the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions, and then the next day they will fight the monsters from the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.
Of course, the people on these two days are allowed to be different. If you want to be the same, that's absolutely fine.
After entering Dongshi, Ning Chen saw that the streets had been completely cleared.
Dongshi, which used to be lively and noisy in the past, is now deserted.
Maslais arrived at the arena in Dongshi without any hindrance.
After Ning Chen and the others arrived, they discovered that people from the Buddhist Kingdom and the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom in the Western Regions had arrived earlier.
At the same time, Wu Zhao and the others also arrived early.
"Are you all here so early?" Ning Chen was a little surprised when he saw everyone arrived.
Normally, it was not too late for me to come out, so why did these people come so early?
Now that Ning Chen and the others have arrived, the arena competition can begin.
However, before starting, a series of competition rules still need to be announced.
These competition rules are really very long. The reason why they are so long is because Wu Zhao was worried that it would cause unnecessary trouble, so he made such long rules.
While the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites was reading out the rules, Ning Chen asked Wu Ang: "Why are you here so early?"
Wu Ang explained to Ning Chen: "The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons and the Buddhist Kingdom of the Western Regions asked to come to inspect the arena. My imperial sister was worried that they would take the opportunity to do something, so she came with them."
After a pause, Wu Ang reminded Ning Chen: "Both sides attach great importance to this battle in the ring.
According to the information I received, last night, people on both sides avoided the city defenses and entered the imperial city.
It should be the experts from both sides who were temporarily dispatched."
After hearing Wu Ang's words, Ning Chen frowned and said, "They don't take our Wu Dynasty seriously."
Wu Ang said: "It's not that we don't take it lightly, but we attach great importance to this matter."
"You didn't understand what I meant. Since you know that someone has bypassed the city defenses and come in, why don't you send people to arrest them, break their hands and feet, and throw them out of the city." Ning Chen said to Wu Ang.
