Chapter 96 Rules and Official Beginning
The hall of the headquarters was extremely quiet.
After Zhou Tairan, the president of the Fuhai Provincial Martial Arts Association, appeared, the martial artists who were chatting and laughing, or arguing with red faces, all stopped talking and quickly returned to their seats.
Everyone here, even Shi Dazhuang, who knows nothing about the martial arts world, knows Zhou Tairan's name.
This is because photos and deeds of past presidents are hung on the walls in the lobby of the headquarters.
Zhou Tairan, 68 years old this year.
Thirty years ago, he became the president of the Phuoc Hai Provincial Martial Arts Association on the recommendation of the previous president.
At that time, martial arts was popular all over the country, and martial arts sects in various places had many disciples and were very powerful. They only responded to the various policies issued by the martial arts association on the surface, and did not care at all behind the scenes.
Even the branches of the associations in various places colluded with the martial arts sects at that time and worked together to make ends meet.
The association headquarters is like a polished commander.
When Zhou Tairan took office, the situation had reached its worst point.
But only for one year.
Zhou Taiquan relies on a set of extremely powerful Bajiquan.
He forcibly defeated all the sects in Fuhai Province.
Do you listen to the tune but not the propaganda?
beat!
pick a quarrel?
beat!
Collusion between inside and outside?
beat!
I'll fire you after the beating.
that's all.
During the previous two presidents of the Wushu Association, they failed to integrate the martial arts in Phuoc Hai Province.
Zhou Tairan was forced to do it within a year with his fists.
This is what Zhou Li once said before,
A genius who possesses unparalleled military power even when the high tide fails to come.
Such people, once the high tide begins.
The speed of progress is unimaginable to ordinary Qi sensers.
therefore,
When Zhou Tairan stepped into the hall, a ferocious aura like a wild lion swept over him instantly, quickly suppressing the noise in the venue.
Even if they were sitting at the front of the hall, the heads of the sect who always looked like they were old gods were quietly adjusting their sitting postures so as not to look too lazy.
When Zhou Tairan swept the Fuhai martial arts world, they were one of the participants.
More precisely,
He was one of the group that was beaten.
therefore,
When they saw Zhou Tairan, they felt the old wounds on their bodies aching again.
"Hello, President Zhou."
But even so, they immediately managed to smile.
An old man wearing a long coat, with white hair and a childlike face stood up slightly and nodded to Zhou Tairan.
only,
Zhou Tairan just glanced at him lightly, then looked away without any intention of responding.
Fortunately, the white-haired old man was already familiar with his temper, so he smiled calmly and didn't pay too much attention to it.
Boom boom.
Zhou Tairan came to the red cloth table and tapped the microphone twice.
Sound waves instantly echoed in the hall.
His sharp gaze swept across all the sect members present one by one.
The people caught by the gaze stood up to pay their respects.
But Zhou Tairan didn't stop.
But when he saw Zhou Li alone, sitting alone on a wooden chair.
There was a faint flash of strange color in his eyes.
Zhou Li quickly turned his head away and pretended to look around.
The acting is so poor that it is unbearable to watch.
Fortunately,
Zhou Tairan had no intention of exposing it in public.
After glancing around, he looked away.
"Let me tell you the rules of martial arts."
The voice was calm, powerful, and full of vitality, completely unlike an old man who was nearly 70 years old.
"You all know the classification system of martial arts in the martial arts association."
"The participating sects this time include seven A-level sects, 10 B-level sects, 12 C-level sects, and 22 D-level sects, for a total of 51 sects."
"The competition is divided into two rounds, the first round promotion match and the second round battle match."
"The first round of promotion lasts for one day, starting at 2 o'clock this afternoon and ending at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
"The association will divide each level of sect into different residential areas."
"Within one day, you can challenge any sect disciple of the same level, and the other party cannot refuse."
"Among the sects of the same level, as long as you win more than half of the battles, you can pass the verification of the staff and go to the next level area."
"For example, in Level D, if you defeat more than 11 sects, you can enter the Level C area."
"In the C-level area, if you defeat more than 6 sects, you can go to the B-level area."
"After fighting all the way to Class A and defeating half of Class A martial arts gyms, you can successfully advance to the competition."
Wow——
As soon as this statement came out,
There was some commotion in the hall.
Although the sect members did not dare to make any noise.
But subtle whispers were heard one after another in the venue.
"What a joke."
"In just one day, those of us in Class C have to play nearly twenty games in a row and maintain a half winning rate?"
"We are not perpetual motion machines, so we don't need to recover our physical strength?"
"Which bastard thought up the rules of the game with his feet?!"
Boom boom.
However, not long after the whispers began, Zhou Tairan tapped the microphone again.
"Shut up, everyone."
His voice is not loud.
But it seems to have magical power.
Wherever his voice passed, all whispers were lost.
Zhou Tairan looked at the head of a C-level sect.
"I thought of this rule, do you have any objections?"
He looked to be in his prime, with a burly body and a body of bronzed muscles that was very intimidating.
It was he who had just whispered angrily, saying that these rules were simply thought up with his feet.
"No no!"
Under Zhou Tairan's gaze, the man waved his hands repeatedly with a sarcastic smile on his face.
The originally tall and tall body shrank down like a trembling chicken, looking as funny as possible.
Only then did Zhou Tairan look away.
"fair?"
"It would be unfair for me to put people from the Class A sect on the same starting line as you."
"As warriors, what you want and do is to win every battle."
"If you don't even have this little confidence, go back to where you came from."
"If anyone is still dissatisfied with my rules, you can apply to challenge me."
"If you win, I'll let you decide the rules."
Say it.
Zhou Tairan's eyes glanced around the hall.
Everyone he saw lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
Seeing this,
He nodded slightly.
"In addition, those who fail to advance to the duel competition are not without gain."
"If you stop at Class B, then after the martial arts competition is over, your sect's level will be raised to Class B, and your salary will also increase."
"Similarly, if a person from the A- and B-level sects has less than half of their winning rate in battles, they will be automatically demoted."
"Okay, now that the rules have been explained, there will be staff who will take you to the living areas of your respective levels."
"Now, I declare."
Speaking of which,
Zhou Tairan paused for a moment before speaking again.
"The martial arts meeting has officially begun."
After all,
Zhou Tairan didn't stop, turned around and left towards the side door.
Before the people from the martial arts schools could react, the glass door of the hall opened.
Several staff members filed in.
Four of them were holding a sign.
A, B, C, D.
"Everyone from the Grade A sect, please follow me."
Under the guidance of the staff, sects of all levels left in an orderly manner from the back door of the hall and headed to their respective living areas.
for a time,
It gives the illusion of being at a primary school sports day.
The Eagle Body Sect is a D-level sect.
That is the lowest level.
Zhou Li followed the staff in charge of the D-level sect and left from the back door of the hall to the rear of the martial arts association.
The martial arts association covers a huge area.
Behind the association is a training ground comparable to a school playground.
There are several buildings on both sides.
A large number of people from the D-level sect, led by the staff, headed to the oldest building at the end.
Zhou Li looked to both sides.
Many people from martial arts sects no longer had the friendly atmosphere they had at the beginning, and even when walking, they subconsciously kept a distance apart.
Some are gearing up and staring eagerly at the people around them.
Some of them had calm faces and were observing the situation of the people around them. Their eyes were filled with strange colors, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
But there are also people who are different.
Zhou Li could see at a glance that Shi Dazhuang was looking around in the crowd, as if he was on an outing.
The other party also saw Zhou Li and waved his palms happily to say hello.
Neuropathy!
Zhou Li rolled his eyes and hid himself in the crowd with his hands behind his back.
But what he didn't find was,
Alone, wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket, and walking very frivolously, I had already been stared at by others.
"Senior, are you participating alone?"
at this time,
A young man with long hair, fair face, and wearing training clothes came forward to talk.
His eyes narrowed and he vaguely looked at Zhou Li.
"I'm at the Snake Fist Sect. During the day, I met my senior."
During the day, B had a smile on his face and an inexplicable coldness about him.
Just being close to him immediately made Zhou Li, who was afraid of the cold, shiver.
"Is something wrong?"
Zhou Li's heart tightened, but he still pretended to be indifferent and turned towards the other party.
But his subtle movements were still seen by Bai Tianyi.
Deep in his eyes, a strange color flashed immediately.
His guess was correct.
This old man's strength is extremely poor, and he may not even be a Qi sensor.
Very suitable for brushing up scores.
If you cripple it first, you will be disqualified from the competition.
You can successfully win a victory, and others will no longer be able to get results from the old man.
Thinking of this,
During the day, B immediately prepared to inquire about Zhou Li's information.
"I failed to notice the senior's entrance before and didn't pay me a visit in time."
"I'm here to apologize."
He pretended to be polite.
However,
Zhou Li is not stupid either.
He immediately saw what the other party was planning.
"Ah."
He sneered.
"I think you think the old man is alone and easy to bully?"
"Then you are dead wrong!"
"Just come, the old man will let you know what terror is."
Zhou Li looked confident, which made Bai Tianyi a little surprised.
Is this old man pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?
It doesn’t look like it either.
It's better to ask him who his sect is and then make plans.
Thinking of this,
During the day, Yi waved his hands repeatedly, looking humble.
"Senior has misunderstood, junior just wants to get to know senior-"
However,
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Li raising his hand.
The little old man looked arrogant and looked down on everyone equally.
"okay!"
"If you want to come, just come."
"The old man's name is Shi Dazhuang, and he is the head of the Shi Fist Sect."
"If you dare to come, I will let you come in vertically and go out horizontally!"
