Chapter 82: Qingzhou Federation of Military Affairs
The so-called Qingzhou United Martial Arts.
It is a competition held every five years by all the sects in Qingzhou under the arrangement of the Holy Land.
The results of the competition will be used to determine the sect’s level for the next five years.
There are billions of people and hundreds of sects in the entire Qingzhou. Among them, the number of top sects is fixed, with only twenty places.
The following high-level sects, intermediate sects, and low-level sects are graded according to the comprehensive score.
Each level represents a huge gap in reputation and interests.
This also leads to every joint military attack being extremely cruel!
And the sect martial arts competition is the arena for the true disciples of the sect.
They represent the potential of the sect and the future of the sect.
This is why every sect spends a lot of resources to cultivate true disciples. One of the most important reasons is that true disciples are the main force of the United Martial Arts and determine the future of the sect!
Except for the disciples who were promoted as a result of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, all the true disciples of the sect are top experts in the Linghai Realm.
Now, Elder Sun actually proposed to let Jiang Heng participate in such a cruel competition, obviously to send him to death.
So, when Elder Sun’s words came out, everyone was stunned.
A middle-aged man with a long beard couldn't see it anymore and frowned and said:
“The Joint Martial Arts Competition is the battlefield for Linghai Realm warriors. If you let a disciple who has just entered the Xiantian Realm take the field, wouldn’t that mean you’re going to die?”
“Since it is a test, it must be consistent with his age and strength.”
"You, a dignified core elder, are trying to persecute a talented disciple with such despicable means. I think you are a bit unworthy of your position."
Elder Sun’s expression changed and he shouted in a deep voice:
“Wu Hao! Are you provoking me?”
The long-bearded middle-aged man named Wu Hao glanced at him coldly, then looked at Bai Haocang and said calmly:
“Sect Master, I have a proposal to deprive Elder Sun of his position as core elder.”
“In addition to his cultivation barely reaching the standard, his temperament and ability are completely unworthy of his status as a core elder. What qualifications does he have to participate in discussions? He can only make noises.”
Hearing this, Elder Sun immediately slapped the table and said angrily:
"Wu Hao! As a core elder, how dare you insult me like this! I want to..."
"Shut up!"
Bai Haocang suddenly shouted coldly, and the whole place fell silent.
Elder Sun's movements stagnated and he sat down silently.
Bai Haocang's expression returned to calmness and he said softly:
“I agree with Elder Sun’s opinion and let Jiang Heng participate in this joint martial arts competition. Please express your opinion!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled.
Elder Sun looked at him in disbelief.
"Jiang Heng has already enjoyed many resources of the sect. If he still cannot show enough potential, it is indeed necessary to demote him to appease the dissatisfaction of some people."
Bai Haocang continued to speak calmly.
“However, although there is no limit to the number of true disciples participating in the competition, he has just broken through to the Xiantian realm after all. If he participates in the martial arts competition, he will not be able to make any contribution at all, and his life will only be in danger.”
Someone hesitated and said: "Whether he is worthy of being treated as a true disciple or not, Jiang Heng is a top-notch genius. It would be a waste of the sect's resources to die in vain."
Elder Sun laughed at this time.
Although he didn’t know why Bai Haocang agreed to his proposal, he didn’t want to be disturbed by others, so he quickly said:
“Elder Huang, you are worrying too much. Jiang Heng has always been famous for his leapfrog challenges. Now that he is in the Xiantian realm, he can just leapfrog and defeat the Linghai realm. When the time comes, he will definitely make a name for our Daluo Sect. Don’t worry!”
Wu Hao, who was sitting diagonally across from him, frowned and said coldly:
“Can this level challenge be the same as before?”
“Each of the true disciples who participate in the United Martial Arts is a peerless genius, invincible among their peers. Some of them have even entered the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and possess the terrifying strength to challenge higher levels.”
“You are now asking Jiang Heng, who has just broken through the Xiantian realm, to challenge them beyond the level?”
“This is pure nonsense!”
Bai Haocang tapped the table, and after everyone's discussion gradually stopped, he said:
“As Jiang Heng’s master, I know his strength very well. You can rest assured that he is strong enough to participate in the battle.”
“Let’s vote by a show of hands!”
“Hands raised in favor of his participation in the war.”
Elder Sun immediately raised his right hand, and one after another the other elders also hesitantly raised their hands.
“13 votes in favor.”
“Then, the proposal is approved!”
“One month later, order Jiang Heng to participate in the Qingzhou United Martial Arts Competition!”
Bai Haocang's gentle voice echoed through the conference hall.
…
Outside Jiang Heng’s house.
Two servants were guarding the gate with solemn expressions.
A young deacon wearing a blue shirt came from a distance and said politely: "Hello, the sect master sent me to invite Senior Brother Jiang Heng to come over. Please let me know."
One of the handymen nodded, picked up the copper ring on the door, knocked it lightly, and said softly:
“Senior Brother Jiang, the sect leader has sent someone to invite you!”
"knew!"
After a while, a voice came from the quiet house and echoed in the ears of the three people.
The young deacon politely held his hands across the courtyard and said:
“Senior Brother Jiang, I’ll take my leave first, please be sure to get there as soon as possible.”
After speaking, he turned around and left.
In the training room.
Jiang Heng opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
“Sect Master? What is the purpose of inviting me over?”
He frowned and thought about it for a moment, then stopped thinking about it.
In any case, no one in the sect can do anything to him, so what if he goes to see him?
Thinking of this, Jiang Heng smiled, got up and walked out the door.
Not long after, we arrived at the sect leader’s training hall.
“Master!”
Jiang Heng still greeted him with respect as before.
"sit down!"
Bai Haocang didn't behave any differently than usual, and his tone remained calm and indifferent.
The two of them sat cross-legged facing each other.
“Next month is Qingzhou’s joint martial arts competition. Originally, you were not required to participate in this competition, but some people have expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that you have always occupied the status of a true disciple, but have not shown the corresponding talent.”
“So I propose that you also participate in this joint martial arts competition.”
“It was approved by the Council of Elders.”
Bai Haocang's eyes are as gentle as water, calm and calm.
Jiang Heng felt baffled in his heart.
The matter of promoting the disciples of Zhenchuan was not requested by himself, but the initiative to propose Zongmen.
Now you actually think that you are not behaving in a manner that is consistent with your true identity?
Jiang Heng secretly shook his head, and then said calmly: "No problem!"
He had read about the Joint Martial Arts from books, and it was clear that the participants were all true disciples of various major sects.
Each of them is a top genius in their sect, and each of them is a strong person in the Linghai Realm.
Let alone the Xiantian realm, even the slightly more ordinary Linghai realm cannot make any waves in it, but it is very likely to lose one's life.
But Jiang Heng was not worried at all.
Although there is only one month left.
Although his current strength has not improved much compared to two months ago.
However, he focuses on improving the [Swallowing Heaven Creation Skill] and is now able to obtain a full 2 million potential points every day!
In addition, as many as 18 million potential points have been accumulated so far.
In one month, his strength was enough to undergo earth-shaking qualitative changes!
At that time, he will not be afraid of any strong person in the Linghai Realm.
