Chapter 122: On the Day of Final Victory, Each Demonstrates His Abilities
The damn competition is finally over! If I had to introduce Wang Rong’s plot, I really don’t want to write about this competition.
But in fact, it is precisely because of this competition that Xie Xin has accumulated some connections, which will make it much easier to travel in Han Dynasty in the future.
One update of 4,000 words will be sent tonight! There will be three updates tomorrow. If the standard for additional updates is met, it can be appropriately increased to five updates.
Finally, thank you all for your continued support of this book.

Another day of competition was announced and the contestants left the venue one after another and returned to their respective residences.
Different from the previous two days, there were no celebrations for each team tonight. Everyone returned to their residence silently, had dinner and went to their rooms to rest.
Tomorrow is the most critical day. Once the two competitions are over and the awards are received on the podium, everything will be settled.
But precisely because it is the last day, there will be more conspiracies and tricks devised than in the previous two days.
In order to avoid being infected, it is fundamental to go out less often, and paying careful attention to all equipment is the most important thing.
When Xie Xin returned to Zhuangzi, he did not make love to his two young wives. Instead, after having a meal, he returned to his room and began to practice.
It's not true to say it's training. After all, it's the critical moment of the competition, and all kinds of distracting thoughts are constantly coming. Under such circumstances, forcing yourself to practice can only lead to an obsession.
What Xie Xin needs is to slowly refine the resentment absorbed by the soul-searching technique before. In order to prevent this thing from lurking in the deepest part of his consciousness, it is time for him to take the opportunity to break out once his guard is exposed and let him
Enter the path of magic.
Anger is originally one of the seven human emotions, so as long as it is refined slowly, it will only blend into it and there will be no side effects.
Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no such thing at all. The only sequelae is that after Xie Xin refines this strong resentment, he will get angry more easily, and when he gets angry, he will lose his mind more easily.
But similarly, once you get angry, you can explode with twice the combat power while your rationality is still there; if you completely lose your rationality, you can directly explode with ten times the lethality, but Xie Xin is not sure what the side effects will be.
After a night of refining, Xie Xin finally absorbed the resentment. And after refining, he decided not to use the soul-searching technique to kill him in the future unless necessary.
The two daughters, Wang Rong and Bian Linglong, came to Xie Xin's room after his retreat, and personally served him to bathe, change clothes, and enjoy breakfast.
After a warm moment, I sent a letter of thanks and left.
"Teacher, beat them down hard!" Before going out, Mao Jie and others came one after another and shouted to Xie Xin.
"Of course!" Xie Xin smiled and walked out of Zhuangzi directly.
Along the way, Xie Xin encountered three waves of assassinations. From disguised assassinations to poisonous powder, and finally cold arrows, Xie Xin had seen three types of assassination methods under normal circumstances.
He didn't leave any of those who dared to assassinate him, and got rid of them all.
It's a pity that these assassins don't have anything to prove their identities. Otherwise, with Xie Xin's violent mood, he might find an opportunity to sneak into the home of the person behind the scenes and kill him.
It's just that at this stage, he doesn't have so much time to waste on this matter.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Xie Xin arrived at the competition site smoothly, and other contestants who also participated in today's competition also came here one after another.
About half an hour later, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty belatedly entered the venue and reached the rostrum.
At the same time, the start of the game was officially announced.
The first item is still policy analysis. The question is to take a small county in Xiliang as an example. If the answerer is the magistrate of the county, how to govern this county. After the question, various data of the county are also attached to facilitate the contestants.
Better answer.
Xiliang is a barbaric land, and Qiang people from the north often go south to plunder. And because the land is barren, agriculture is not suitable in Xiliang, at least the harvest and the effort are never proportional.
The small county given in the question, including the surrounding villages, has a population of only 20,000, of which nearly half are Qiang people who were attached to the Han Dynasty.
There are no special minerals nearby, but just in the northwest of the small county, a tributary of the Weishui River happens to pass by. Because of this, although the land here is equally barren, there is no problem in farming. At most, it is better than other states and counties.
We need to reduce production by 20 to 30%.
The question has been given, and the contestants naturally sit down and answer it.
Because there are only two competitions today, and there are only six people competing in the ring, the contestants will have two hours to sort out their thoughts and then write down their answers.
In this exam, there were four contestants from the Lu Zhi family, one from the Eunuch family, and the remaining five were all from the Yuan family.
Both the prince server and Sima Fang signed up for this event, but the prince server was rejected in the preliminaries, but Sima Fang still stubbornly got one of the places.
However, what made Xie Xin couldn't help but sigh was that his disciple Huang Shang was actually among the ten places.
Usually in the academy, the most dazzling students are naturally Li Feng, Gongsun Du, Mao Jie, Ji Ling, Lou Gui, and Xie Yi. Although the other students are not bad, they seem a bit shorter than them.
Feel.
However, in this competition, Huang Shang, who was seconded to Lu Zhi's first team, and Zhang Ming, who was seconded to Huangfusong's first team, actually successfully passed three preliminaries. On the contrary, Ji Ling and others failed in all three preliminaries.
Was brushed off.
This may not be entirely their fault. After all, the first three competitions were about teamwork. They may be god-like warriors, but they have a bunch of pig-like comrades, and even encountered god-like enemies. Even so, they were not defeated. This
It’s not justified anymore.
The thank you letter was a sigh of relief, but the game still started on time.
The students immediately prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones, confirmed that there were no problems, and checked their body and clothing. Then they breathed a sigh of relief and settled down to their seats.
According to their view, these are the only ways to do evil.
As for whether the Huangmen who collected the papers would use tricks, they were not worried about this, because since the incident that happened the day before yesterday, the Huangmen has been closely monitored. If they dare to act again, they are afraid that their lives will be in danger again.
.
Even though the contestants felt that the competition should be fair this time, an accident happened.
Three of the contestants from the Yuan family and two contestants from the Lu Zhi family suddenly became upset and finally couldn't hold on any longer and went to the toilet to relieve themselves.
But since they left, they never came back.
Later, according to rumors, they spent a whole day squatting in the toilet...
"Unexpectedly, everyone thought of the same move..." Yuan Shao, who was struggling to write, whispered to Lu Zhi beside him.
"Each other..." Lu Zhi wrote quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Apparently, the leaders of these two teams sent people to the contestants' residence last night, and took chronic laxatives in their breakfast last night or this morning, and the attack happened to be now.
I have to say that this move is indeed very powerful, but Zhuangzi, who is grateful to Xin, is protected by several of their cultivators. No one can expect to enter smoothly. It is precisely because of this that Huang Shang can sit next to Lu Zhi, and slowly
Write your own strategy.
Two hours later, all five contestants present successfully handed in their test papers.
At this time, Huangmen, who was collecting the papers, actually went against the wind and committed the crime!
This time he did not change the paper, but insidiously let his fingers take up ink, and then soiled the test paper.
Imagine being an examiner and seeing that the test paper you received is stained with ink and you can barely see the content. How can you possibly get a high score with this test paper?!
But in the blink of an eye, Huangmen had stained two contestants from the Yuan family. Just as he was about to stain Huang Shang's test paper, a golden light suddenly hit him and rubbed it on the back of his hand.
Here, a burnt mark appeared on the back of his hand.
Huang Men had something in his heart, so he immediately restrained himself after being hit so hard. He knew that if he dared to continue taking action, the next golden light would penetrate his head.
"Teacher, what is that move called?!" Huang Shang handed in the paper and immediately ran to Xie Xin's side.
He also noticed just now, Xie Xin's amazing golden light on his finger.
"It's called Yiyang Finger, which is a kind of martial arts that can kill the enemy at medium range." Xie Xin said proudly.
"Then, can you leave it to me when you return to the private school?!" Huang Shang asked excitedly.
"This move is too insidious, and its power needs to increase with the increase of internal strength, so even if it is passed to you, whether you can use it and whether it can kill the enemy are all two-way." Xie Xin explained directly.
.
"That's it...what a pity!" Huang Shang simply refused to think about it if he couldn't learn.
The test paper was handed to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and he also officially announced that the morning competition was over, and the rankings of this competition would be announced before the start of the competition in the afternoon.
After all, he had to read the papers slowly, and even weigh them before choosing the most suitable paper to rank first.
The lunch break was only about half an hour, and it passed in the blink of an eye.
In the afternoon, there will be a competition in the ring, but before the competition, there are obviously still two quarters of an hour for the contestants to warm up.
Two quarters of an hour later, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty returned to the rostrum and officially announced: Lu Zhi won the first place, Huang Shang won the second place, and the eunuch civil servant won the third place.
From this, Xie Xin could see that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty fully intended to help Lu Zhi rise to power and then ask him to help suppress the Yuan clan.
He was even afraid that Lu Zhi wouldn't be able to handle it, so he helped the eunuchs up again.
Obviously, Yuan Shao could see the clues, so after the ranking was announced, his face has not been good.
After the rankings were announced, Emperor Ling also officially announced that the final round of competition had officially begun.
So, after another flurry of excitement on the stage, it was the turn of Xie Xin and Wang Yue from the Yuan family.
Xie Xin is no stranger to this strange hero of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At least this ranger entered the Helan Mountains on horseback at the age of eighteen and returned alone with the head of the Qiang leader. Now that I think about it, it was only more than ten years ago.
But what he didn't expect was that Yuan would actually snare him.
Wang Yue fought with swords all over the world, and at the age of thirty he was already an invincible fighter. Now when he saw him, Xie Xin could tell at a glance that the hero in front of him had reached the foundation-building stage, which is the so-called innate warrior realm.
.
"Yanshan Wang Yue!" After entering the ring, Wang Yue raised his hand towards Xie Xin.
This hero, since the beginning of the preliminaries, has not cheated once. He has knocked his opponents off the stage purely based on his strength. He waved the sword in his hand, but he has never killed anyone from the beginning to the end.
In this life-and-death competition, his behavior can be regarded as "benevolence and justice".
"Nanyang thank you!" Xie Xin still had enough respect for Wang Yue.
"You don't use weapons?!" Wang Yue looked at the thank you letter and couldn't help but ask.
Weapons are not prohibited in the arena competition, but they must all be replaced by wooden ones. Wang Yue was holding a wooden sword, and when he saw Xie Xin's empty hands, he couldn't help but ask.
"No, all I learned was bare-handed kung fu." Xie Xin replied with a smile.
"In this case, I won't take advantage of you!" Wang Yue smiled and threw the wooden sword in his hand.
"Can a swordsman without a sword still be called a swordsman?!" Seeing this, Xie Xin couldn't help but ask.
"As long as a swordsman has a sword in his heart, then flowers, plants, or even a palm can be used as a sword." Wang Yue compared his palms and said to Xie Xin.
Seeing this, Xie Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly: Others have entered the realm of innate warriors and naturally have a certain understanding of martial arts, let alone whether they have weapons in their hands.
I was an idiot for asking that before.
Following the referee's order, the battle between the two sides began immediately.
Wang Yue's realm was indeed very high, but with his amazing footwork and clear sword moves, a mere hand seemed to turn into a sharp long sword, and he shot towards Xie Xin.
As for Xie Xin, he was a dignified monk and was even close to entering the Golden Core Stage. His strength was naturally not comparable to that of Wang Yue.
But this competition is a contest between mortals, so Xie Xin will naturally not use immortal magic, but will use the martial arts he has learned to fight against the enemy.
Therefore, Xie Xin first used the Lion's Roar Kung Fu to knock the opponent away, and then struck directly at the opponent's shoulder with one move and one finger.
But Wang Yue was not bad either. He still felt a little dizzy, but he managed to get over it smoothly.
But would Xie Xin let him go? After a fierce attack, Wang Yue was knocked out of the ring with a Tai Chi single whip. Wang Yue almost didn't see Xie Xin's movements clearly, and was beaten out like this.
From then on, the game ended.
In the arena competition, Xie Xin deservedly won the first place; Wang Yue failed, but after another competition, he won the second place; Hua Xiong lost to Wang Yue and had to settle for third place.
After some statistics, everyone knows that this so-called statistics is probably unfair.
The so-called justice lies in the heart of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, according to some statistics, the Lu Zhi team won the first place, the Dong Zhuo team won the second place, and the Xie Xin team won the third place. None of the three rankings were shared by the Yuan family.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty personally went on stage to present awards and present trophies to these three teams.
At the same time, it was announced that Lu Zhi would be appointed as Beizhonglang General, Huangfu Song as the Northern Prefect, Dong Zhuo as the Western Region Wuji Colonel, Huang Shang as Huang Menlang, and Sima Fang as the Yingchuan Prefect. Finally, he asked for a letter of thanks again.
, are you interested in becoming an official?
In the end, Xie Xin still said that he liked to be a private school teacher, and his ambition was to turn the private school into an academy and become the dean of the academy. After hearing this, Emperor Ling shook his head helplessly.
At the same time, Huang Shang also declined the expedition, saying that he had not yet started his military career and needed to study under Xie Xin for a period of time.
Emperor Ling was not unhappy about this, he just asked him to study hard and contribute to the Han in the future.
Compared with the letter of thanks, Huang Shang, a native-born man, was flushed with excitement at this moment. He almost knelt down immediately, knelt three times and kowtowed to the Ling Emperor, and shouted "Long live the Emperor."
But despite this, he still bowed politely and then thanked Emperor Ling for his kindness.
After the trophies were awarded, Emperor Ling made a brief summary and officially announced that this competition has officially ended!
