A circle of fences has been erected on the wide circle of fences separates the onlookers from the group of warriors.
To avoid ordinary people disturbing the competition.
At the same time, it also prevents ordinary people from being injured by the warriors' moves.
A blast of sword or knife energy is enough to make ordinary people like them suffer.
At this moment, Duan Hanchuan just sat on the ground, leaning against the outer fence.
His sloppy appearance attracted a lot of people's attention.
Even the Lord of Qingsong City looked at Duan Hanchuan and whispered to the people around him.
Looking at the Jinjia Kingdom, Duan Hanchuan seems to be somewhat famous and attracts attention.
And the protagonists in these people's mouths.
Duan Hanchuan didn't care about other people's comments at all and continued to sit there.
His eyes were somewhat dull, and he seemed to have no interest in the competition.
Not far away, several middle-aged men in fancy clothes were also commenting.
"The white-clad guest has now become a slovenly guest"
"I don't know if there will be an end to his miserable life."
A group of people were chatting and talking.
Although there is an age limit for this competition.
But the core of each team is still middle-aged people in their forties.
Today's competition is also to see the young warriors show their strength.
In front of the City Lord's Mansion, an old man in official uniform took a step forward.
He was an imperial envoy sent by the Jinjia Kingdom's court and also the minister supervising the competition.
After the Lord of Qingsong City announced the rules, the imperial envoy officially announced the start of the competition.
Next comes the part of choosing an opponent.
If there is an odd number and the team is not selected, they will have a bye.
This opportunity of a bye will usually fall to teams with very poor strength.
No one worries about their strength or their accumulation of physical energy.
There are a total of thirty-four teams initially participating in the competition today.
The teams ranked higher will screen their opponents first.
The first three teams directly chose the teams with average strength and those at the bottom.
They all paid directly to register, so of course it was early.
And those teams that are truly strong are generally neither hurried nor slow.
It doesn’t matter if it’s seventh or eighth.
After the first five teams had chosen their opponents, a middle-aged man with a rather imposing manner stepped out.
He was holding a sword in his hand, and he was standing there very casually.
But everyone present seemed to be able to feel the pressure he brought.
"Gong Zhenye, one of the four heroes of Tianlin
I hope we are not chosen.”
Dongfang Yong, who was standing next to Su Chen, had an ugly look on his face.
Looking at his expression, it seemed that he was praying that the opponent would not choose his team.
And this one of the four Tianlin just walked over.
But his eyes did not look at Su Chen and the others, but walked directly in front of Duan Hanchuan.
"The fluttering white clothes reflect the bright moon, and the vast cold river is locked in the evening clouds.
Hasn't the white-clad guest from before completed this miserable road?"
Gong Zhenye stood in front of Duan Hanchuan and spoke calmly.
Perhaps because of his extraordinary status, even the Lord of Qingsong City gave him face.
If anyone else was so hesitant in choosing an opponent, they would definitely be scolded and urged to hurry up.
Duan Hanchuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, but just for a moment, then turned his head away.
"I am here to accompany my junior sister. If you want to choose an opponent, you should look to the side."
Gong Zhenye's expression did not change at all when he heard this.
"Among these five people, your junior sister can only withstand three or two of my attacks at most.
The other four ordinary people, if they can fight me without trembling, they are considered capable. "
After a pause, Gong Zhenye's face became more serious.
"Brother Duan, let's take this opportunity today to have a match.
Twelve years ago, you beat me by three moves.
You have always been the mountain in my heart.
I want to see if I have the ability to climb over this mountain."
These words aroused the interest of the spectators around.
If Gong Zhenye can fight with Duan Hanchuan, this competition will be really interesting.
After watching it, you can brag about it to others for another half a month.
Everyone had previously speculated that Gong Zhenye's team would have a high probability of winning these five places.
His fight with Duan Hanchuan is naturally exciting.
"I am not a mountain, but just a pile of mud on the ground.
You can just lift your foot and step right over me.
There is no need to compete or not."
Duan Hanchuan refused to accept the invitation to fight.
It was still leaning against the fence, and really looked like a pile of mud.
Hearing this, Gong Zhenye didn't seem to find it strange.
Duan Hanchuan's answer was exactly as he had predicted.
After hesitating, Gong Zhenye took a few steps towards him.
“Brother Duan, if you can beat me, I can tell you about Fairy Yueyao’s current situation.
Is this condition acceptable?"
When the words "Fairy Yueyao" popped up, Duan Hanchuan was stunned.
Hearing these words again, he felt a little strange.
But I couldn't help but think about it.
The next moment, Duan Hanchuan stood up.
Seeing this, the spectators around seemed to be even more excited than the protagonist.
One by one, they began to whisper to each other, discussing the possible scenarios that might occur when the two men fought.
Turning his head, Duan Hanchuan glanced at Su Chen and the others.
Then his eyes fell on Su Chen.
“You step back.
I want the qualification to compete today."
Probably because Su Chen had refuted him before.
At this moment, he wanted a qualification for the competition and came directly to snatch Su Chen's place.
Su Chen was a little speechless, as he had worked so hard to get the challenge spot.
Fortunately, with these, I can go and take a look at the secret place left by the immortal Jingbo.
Does Duan Hanchuan think that the world revolves around him?
If you want a spot, just say so and come?
Tian Lan, who was standing aside, had a gleam in her eyes, and she was speaking with some excitement.
Because her senior brother seemed to be regaining his spirits.
"Didn't you hear me? Back off."
Su Chen frowned and looked at Tian Lan and his senior and junior siblings.
“We earned the spot for this competition.
We were already generous of us by letting you pick one up, how dare you come and snatch another one away?
He is really shameless. Why should we give him the spot?"
Su Chen is not from this area and does not have that much time to waste here.
If you miss it this time, you will have to wait at least one day.
After a hard journey through the wilderness, there was basically not much to gain.
Su Chen didn't want to return empty-handed.
What's more, his place in the competition was snatched away by someone else.
Tian Lan did not expect that Su Chen would directly retort to her in front of so many people.
There was some surprise, but there was a more contemptuous smile on his face.
"Why?
Because my senior brother is stronger than you, more talented than you, and better than you.
Based on these, you should give up this place in the competition. "
Hearing this, Su Chen smiled.
“Then is he stronger than you, more talented than you?
Can you also give up this competition spot?"
Just a few words made Tian Lan so choked that she didn't know how to respond. "My strength is not that great, but my eloquence is quite good.
Since everyone has their own reasons, then ask the people of Qingsong City.
See what they think.”
As she spoke, Tian Lan jumped directly onto the fence and yelled at the people.
"Everyone, do you think this competition spot should be given to my senior brother?"
The people of Qingsong City never dreamed that they would have this kind of sense of participation.
They can even give their opinions.
"Yes, of course I have to.
This is an opportunity that the Venerable Zhenye has finally obtained. "
"A young man who doesn't know where he came from, and I don't know what he's fighting for."
“Why bother arguing with him? Just kick him out and let Duan Hanchuan take over.
What's the point of explaining so much?"
The people of Qingsong City all stood on Duan Hanchuan's side.
As a person who likes to watch the fun, of course I like to watch the biggest fun.
They don't mind making trouble.
The fight between Duan Hanchuan and Gong Zhenye was obviously much more interesting.
"Did you hear that?
I am not the only one who wants you to give up your qualification."
Tian Lan looked at Su Chen, with a more proud look on her face.
But Su Chen was still not sure about giving in.
“Do their opinions matter?
Could it be that our qualification for today's competition was given by you spectators?
If I got it myself, why should I listen to their opinions?
If the decision can be made based on everyone's opinions, then what is the point of today's competition?
Everyone, vote and choose five people."
Su Chen definitely doesn't want to give up this opportunity.
Although I don't have a thorough understanding of the warriors in this area.
But Su Chen still has some confidence in himself.
We’ll see later and we’ll basically be able to determine what level these martial arts masters in their forties can reach.
After hearing Su Chen's answer, Tian Lan became even angrier than before.
"I really want to tear your mouth apart for being so stubborn here.
Even if I let you go, can you handle the next move?"
Not far away, Gong Zhenye came out and waved his hand.
"Let me be fair.
According to the rules, the qualification should really belong to you.
But the reality is, you don't have the ability to fight us.
A defeat in a contest won't bring you any meaningful gains."
Su Chen shook his head slightly.
“Since there are rules, let’s follow them.
I know I lost the competition. "
Hearing Su Chen's words, Gong Zhenye seemed a little angry.
"If you don't listen to my gentle words, don't blame me for hitting you hard.
I won't hold back on you just because you're young.
If any of your foundations are damaged, don’t blame me.”
Without waiting for Su Chen to reply, Gong Zhenye saluted towards the City Lord's Mansion in the distance.
"City Lord, I would like to request an additional quota for the other party. Is this feasible?"
After hearing this, the Lord of Qingsong City also wanted to watch the fun.
There was a smile on his face.
"Zhenye, if you agree to let the opponent play with six people, then of course you can.
Just because you lost, don’t say it’s unfair.”
Hearing this, Gong Zhenye saluted again.
Then he walked in front of Duan Hanchuan.
“Brother Duan, there is nothing to hinder us now.
Please prepare for a while. I hope Brother Duan can be ready for the fight."
After saying that, Gong Zhenye walked back to his team.
During the whole process, he didn't look at Su Chen again.
The people around were cursing in low voices, and the target of their scolding was, of course, Su Chen.
Why are you fighting for something when you have no ability? You can't see the situation clearly.
I will be embarrassed back home later.
What Su Chen said just now made sense.
But it just touched the hearts of the onlookers.
Su Chen didn't care at all about what they thought of him.
If you want to get benefits here, you still have to rely on your strength.
The onlookers around may support or not support it.
It has no impact on one's most fundamental interests.
The process of selecting opponents is still going on, and the subsequent teams will select opponents much faster.
There's nothing else to say.
After the selection, the competition will begin in the order in which the opponents were selected.
The winners and losers of the teams ahead are still very clear.
The opponents they chose were weaker than the on-paper strength of Su Chen's team.
This competition is conducted in the form of a round-robin battle.
In other words, one side must defeat the opposing warrior and force him to leave the central martial arts arena.
That means you have eliminated one person, and then you can face the next one.
The gap in strength is too big.
One side can send out one person to take down all five on the other side.
This kind of game is not fun to watch.
These are all foreseeable results, no surprises at all, it's just garbage time.
While waiting to go on stage, Dongfang Yong looked at Su Chen and sighed several times.
"Brother Su, how did this matter become like this?
You have not only offended Brother Duan Hanchuan and his sister, but also Gong Zhenye."
Looking at Dongfang Yong who looked anxious, Su Chen smiled.
"It's okay, I know what's going on."
"Brother Su, this matter cannot be solved casually.
Gong Zhenye and his group are part of a group. From now on, you will not just be targeted by him."
After Dongfang Yong finished speaking, Xu Rufeng, who was standing next to him, also came over and raised his voice in a low voice.
"Brother Su, I think you should go and apologize.
They will hit you hard later and you won’t even have time to jump out of the border.”
These few people were pretty good. At least they didn't completely distance themselves from me because of what happened just now.
Dare to talk to yourself and give yourself some reminders.
Su Chen was relatively calm, waiting for the competition to begin.
The first five teams quickly finished the competition.
Next, it will be Su Chen's team's turn to fight against Gong Zhenye and his team.
Logically speaking, Dongfang Yong is the captain and he should lead the team.
At this moment, Duan Hanchuan picked up a branch from somewhere.
Holding a branch, he walked into the central martial arts field like a team leader.
The competition area is in the big circle in the middle.
In fact, it is a relatively large range, and it is unlikely that a person will fall outside the venue due to an accident.
If they fall out, it is usually because they are forced to fall out or they surrender of their own accord.
Not far away, Gong Zhenye also came out with his teammates.
Among the five people, three are middle-aged people in their forties.
There were two warriors in their twenties, and they also looked extraordinary.
"Brother Duan, is this the only weapon you use?"
Looking at the branch in Duan Hanchuan's hand, Gong Zhenye frowned slightly.
Duan Hanchuan looked at him and shook his head.
“The sword is not stained by dirty clothes.
It's not that I look down on you, it's just that I'm not worthy of using a sword in my current state.
I can only use this branch and see if it can help a little bit." (End of this chapter)
