Chapter 32: Martial arts start
Chapter 32 Martial arts begins
The chirping of birds in the morning ushers in the beginning of a new day.
Mo Qingkuang also woke up from the long night of training.
He rolled over and got out of bed, his bones crackling. He took a deep breath, and a stream of pure true energy floated out of his mouth, lightly hitting the wooden table not far in front of him, making a well-proportioned incision.
"Thank you, ancestor protector." Mo Qingkuang gave a deep bow to Mo Fan who was floating in mid-air.
"It's the second grade, not bad, go." Mo Fan nodded, turned into a curl of light smoke and returned to Mo's frivolous ring.
The martial arts of the Tianxuan Empire have always been held in the martial arts academy of the Imperial College.
Guozijian has two courtyards. The Wenyuan is located in the city of Kyoto, occupying almost half of the eastern half of the city, where the literary examination is held.
The Martial Academy is located in the Fulong Mountains outside Kyoto City, covering a very large area. Surrounded by mountains and forests, there are countless wild monsters and elixir, which is a very suitable place for cultivation.
The training method of the Martial Arts Academy is simple and straightforward, survival of the fittest, and private fighting is never prohibited in the academy, so there are many arenas in the academy, and students can fight duels anytime, anywhere.
The civil examination is closed, but the martial arts examination is open.
Following the millennium, the Tianxuan Prosperity held every three years has attracted a large number of people to watch the game, and various betting odds have already been prepared.
Every three years, only this time the Martial Academy will be open to the outside world.
In the Martial Arts Academy, the white clothes fluttered, and Zheng Tao, who was as handsome as a jade, stepped on the air, as if climbing up the stairs, step by step towards the midair.
"Look, it's President Zheng of the Martial Arts Academy!"
"Fly in the sky! King of Martial Arts!"
"President Zheng is mighty! I have met President Zheng!"
The people are very familiar with the reputation of the golden generation, Zheng Tao aroused warm cheers as soon as he appeared on the stage.
"The old man is not young, and he likes to show off." Mo frivolously slandered secretly. There is still deep envy in my heart, the appearance of the strong Wu Wang is really cool, I don't know when I will be able to reach this level.
Zheng Tao pressed the palm of his hand, and the crowd quickly quieted down obediently.
"This martial arts exam, I, Zheng Tao, will still be the examiner! Hundreds of instructors from the Martial Arts Academy will be the examiners!"
"There are hundreds of arenas in the arena. The first test starts from now and ends at sunset. Select a hundred ring masters to be qualified to enter the martial arts academy!"
"These 100 champions will enter the re-examination, draw lots two by two, and decide the top 16 to participate in the palace examination!"
"The final sixteen will compete for the titles of No. 1 Scholar, No. 2, and No. 1 Flower in the Palace Examination in front of the No. 1 Tianxuan, the Empress! The top three will be directly qualified to enter the inner court!"
Zheng Tao spoke softly, but his voice clearly reached everyone's ears.
"I wish every candidate can achieve excellent results! Here, I announce that this martial arts competition will officially begin!"
The audience is boiling! The real curtain officially opened with Zheng Tao's announcement.
As soon as Zheng Tao finished speaking, there was a young man in a fine attire who was the first to jump onto the ring with a sword in his hand: "I am Liu Xuan from Nanzhou, who dares to fight?"
The corners of Deacon Lin's eyes twitched involuntarily when he saw this. This Liu Xuan was neither easy to tolerate nor low-key, and only cared about showing off.
I really don’t know if he grew up in the inner sect since he was a child and drove him crazy!
He turned his head and said to Lin Yang and the others: "Don't be the first to go on stage like him, save your energy, and try to avoid wheel battles!"
"Yes!" Lin Yang and the others nodded.
Although Liu Xuan is rebellious and behaves perversely, his strength is outstanding.
Shooting the top bird, he, the top bird, pecked off several bugs that came to challenge him in just a short while, with a calm look.
Han Yan'er watched from a distance, narrowing her beautiful eyes: "A third-rank martial artist, this should be the inner disciple of Yuan Jianzong!"
"Amazing!" Gu Hongyi exclaimed. She didn't expect that Yuan Jianzong's inner disciples were so different from them, and they were about the same age, but they were as many as two ranks.
"You stinky fish and rotten shrimps in the capital, is this the only thing you can do? I'm not good enough to warm up the young master!" Liu Xuan said frantically, flying a challenger lightly.
This is already the fifth challenger he has defeated in a row, all with one move, nothing fancy.
Chen Shi looked at Liu Xuan who was showing off his power in the ring, his eyes were blazing with fire, and he was about to challenge him.
But was held back by Mo Qingkuang: "Don't worry, someone will take care of him."
While speaking, a young man with a giant hammer jumped onto the ring.
"Hugh is crazy! I, Yan Xiu, will meet you!"
This young man has a big shoulder and a round waist. He is a second-rank martial artist, and he is holding a huge hammer. According to visual estimation, it hits hundreds of catties. One can tell at a glance that this is a martial artist with amazing strength.
"Huh? Stupid?" Liu Xuan glanced at the young man casually and said with a sneer.
"you wanna die!"
Youdao means swearing at others without revealing shortcomings. That young man has a big body and a huge head, how can he not be angry when he is ridiculed as a simple and big head.
Dancing with a sledgehammer and yelling, he threw it at Liu Xuan. This hammer, coupled with the strength of the warrior, might be powerful.
Liu Xuan didn't panic when he saw this, he turned sideways lightly to get out of this powerful and heavy blow.
The sledgehammer fell to the ground, creating a daunting deep hole.
But Liu Xuan stepped on the giant hammer and looked at the burly young man with his elbows and knees: "It's so powerful, I'm so scared."
The burly young man was so furious that he was about to pull out the sledgehammer and strike again, smashing Liu Xuan into a pulp.
However, he found that under the unfit Liu Xuan's feet, the giant hammer seemed to be nailed, no matter how hard he exerted, it would not move.
The burly young man stepped forward, holding the hammer in both hands, trying to pull out the hammer with all his strength. It's a pity that even though his face was flushed and his veins were bulging, the giant hammer under Liu Xuan's feet remained unmoved.
Liu Xuan smiled jokingly, and said in an exaggerated tone: "What? Want to take it back? You should have said earlier, I will return it to you!"
His feet loosened, and the sledgehammer that the burly young man was pulling with all his strength finally loosened, but due to the burly young man exerting all his strength, he suddenly lost the point of force.
Staggered back a few steps, lost his balance, took a few steps backwards, and dropped out of the arena with a sledgehammer, fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The audience was in an uproar! I thought this burly young man was extremely powerful, and being able to drop ten with one blow would teach Liu Xuan some lessons, but he was being played around like a child.
Liu Xuan stood proudly on the stage: "I've always heard that there are many talents in Kyoto, is this your talent?"
When everyone saw this, the second-rank martial artists were all defeated. Who dared to challenge them, and everyone dared not speak. They only hoped that the genius in Kyoto would stand up and defeat this arrogant person.
On the high platform in the distance, Zheng Tao watched the scene while sipping tea.
A middle-aged man beside him whispered: "Dean, this person should be the inner court disciple of Yuan Jianzong, do you want to..."
Zheng Tao shook his head slowly: "No need, shoot the top bird. Let them be proud for a while, and take a closer look at those people from Yuan Jianzong."
"It doesn't matter in the group arena. It's time to take care of them in the top 100 knockout rounds."
