The great hero, from nine to five

The rain didn't last long.

By the time the official game started, the rain had stopped.

In fact, even if it was really going to rain all the time, some people present would not care about such details.

For the vast majority of rivers and lakes people traveling north and south, whether it is wind or rain, it is a common occurrence, and there is no need to make a fuss. Xun Wu has been in the rivers and lakes for three years, and he has been exposed to rain.

After all, in this world, Xun Wu does not have a mobile phone to receive weather forecasts, and weather is something that even the most knowledgeable astronomers cannot accurately predict the daily situation in this era.

"Have you started yet?"

There is a tall building hundreds of meters away from the venue.

This is the "Wanbao Building", where the third prince's men attacked the prince. Because it is extremely high compared to other places, it can glide to their destination in a short distance with light work, so it is a place that many assassins prefer.

It's just that since the outbreak of the prince's attack, this place has been completely taken over by the imperial army, and no one else is allowed to enter. After a while, it should be owned by the royal family and transformed into other things.

However, at this moment, on the roof of the Wanbao Building, there is another person that no one else has noticed.

This person is already very old, wearing a worn Taoist robe, with some messy divination items and some cloth beside him, he looks like an ordinary quack warlock.

But if someone gets close and looks carefully, they can find some strange things.

The old man sat on the top of the building, but he didn't touch anything upstairs. The traces of rain on the upper floor were as usual, and there wasn't any area where there was no rain and was covered by an "umbrella".

However, although the old man's clothes were worn out, he didn't look wet at all, and the things beside him were all clean and hadn't been touched by the rain at all.

A person, a car, and a mess of things just floated on top of the tall buildings, clearly covering a large area, but the rain did not affect it at all, as if people and things were illusory.

Such methods, not to mention ordinary people, even famous people who have been immersed in martial arts for decades, will call them the methods of the immortal family when they see them.

And if you really want to say... If this person really wants to call himself a "immortal" or "true person", no one will object.

The world's number one expert——Shang Shanruo Shui Zhenjun.

Although it was hundreds of meters away, it was enough for him to observe clearly.

Although this martial arts competition was different from the ones he had participated in back then, it was also very lively. After careful calculation, there were probably more than 400 to nearly [-] young talents participating in it.

Even with his calculation ability, it is enough to calculate who can be the first based on these people's daily performance, martial arts performance, personality performance, reaction ability performance, and quick-witted performance. Not sure what the final direction will be.

There are four arenas in the entire venue. According to the competition system, all more than 400 people were divided into four groups, and the top one hundred and two people were competed. Afterwards, the random draw was re-divided into four groups again, and finally the top sixty, top thirty, Top three...first.

In terms of the number of people, in fact, the number of participants in this martial arts exam is not large. For example, in Xun Wu's memory, in the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 800 people admitted to the martial arts exam.

Even in this world, more than ten years later, the last martial arts event was far more numerous than the current number.

It stands to reason that after more than ten years of recuperation, there should be more people participating in the martial arts exam. In just a few months, less than 500 people are qualified to participate in the examination.

But in other words, 500 people get the top 800, after all, the chances of [-] people getting the top [-] are much greater.

Xun Wu's lottery is not bad, in the afternoon, the C ring in the afternoon.

So he has plenty of free time to observe.

I don't know whether it was a good lottery or an official design. In the first few rings, the kung fu of the contestants...was relatively average.

Perhaps it was really taking care of those "Bingons". Most of the initial competitions were very ordinary warriors.

This is actually quite strange.

You know, there are a total of about 480 "juren" participating in the martial arts this time, and there are nearly a hundred first-class masters among them.

If it is only about realm, the martial arts are not comparable, just recruit all the first-class masters and it will be over.

But on the other hand, even if some of these first-class masters just want to be famous, or want to meet Emperor Shengwu and ask the master's mysteries, or want to test how strong they are, they don't want to be officials anyway. It stands to reason that the design should be dispersed, so that these first-class masters do not accidentally exit before entering the top 120.

Xun Wu watched the performances of several Bingons, and then asked Zhang Bumo which arena he was in. After hearing that it was B, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it's still quite strange - the vast majority of Bingo matches are in Ding, so Zhang Bumo, the person who was specially called to ensure that Bingo does not advance, seems to be a bit useless, but at least there is no need to be so early with Zhang Bumo Even being right is a good thing.

Finally, after a while, Xun Wu finally saw an acquaintance.

Ji worry.

B arena.

Unexpectedly, it started in the morning.

Xun Wu sat with the other two brothers of the Ji family, watching Ji Chou on the ring.

Ji Chou's opponent was also a first-class expert.

This is a little strange in the ranking of the competition rounds. After all, although there are more than 100 first-class masters, the specific situation must also be considered.

Indeed, there are less than 500 people in this martial arts competition, and there are about [-] first-class masters.

But among the hundred or so first-rate masters, he didn’t come out of the ground. Except for those who have something to do, are too late, are not interested, and are in retreat, almost all other first-rate masters under the age of 35 have come. In other words, These more than 100 first-class masters are basically the most elite part of the young generation in the Central Plains.

If some evil alien force blows up the entire venue under such circumstances, not to mention killing half, even twenty or thirty, the Central Plains will have to be out of gear for a while.

However, since it was already like this, Xun Wu would not suspect that Zuo Yanhan deliberately put on small shoes for Ji Chou.

After all, this is not Zuo Yanhan's style.

Ji Chou and his opponent stood on both sides of the ring, and according to the rules, they cupped their fists and bowed to each other.

This is the oldest and most sacred "Ritual of the Ring". According to the ancient rules of the Central Plains, it is the most serious "disrespect" if you do not even bow to each other on the ring, even if you don't sign the certificate of life and death, even if The opponent has already surrendered, and no one will say anything if he is beaten to death.

Xun Wu stroked his chin, wanting to see how Ji Chou would fight.

The arena is actually not small. Compared with the boxing arena in Xun Wu's previous life, the arena in Central Plains is actually much bigger.

According to Sheng Jin's calculation, the ring is five feet long and wide, which is 16 meters long and wide. Compared with the four-meter-wide and five-meter-long boxing rings in Xun Wu's previous life, it is actually several times larger.

But the 16-meter-long arena is simply not enough for knights, especially for the snitches of the Ji family.

If there are many obstacles in the arena, or there are some pillars on the vertical plane, then the Ji family may be able to perform better, but it is actually difficult to perform at such a distance.

Because for the vast majority of first-class experts, this distance is enough for them to conduct long-distance interception recording.

If you occupy the central point, unless you keep running, it will be very difficult to exhaust your opponent's internal energy, and you may even exhaust your own internal energy first.

What's more interesting is that Ji Chou's opponent this time is not an ordinary Jianghu loose man, but a sect that is very good at long-range attacks, even though its style is very different from Ji's - Jingxianmen.

The disciple of Jingxian Sect is surnamed Zhang Mingjue, he is 32 years old, two years older than Ji Chou.If he is lucky, he should be able to participate in the next martial arts competition. However, as a 32-year-old "senior" Jianghu man, he is about to withdraw from the front line of the arena and is ready to start training disciples. In a few years, he might not be interested Participate in martial arts, and start to learn the work that elders need.

As a person who uses a "bow", he is tall and big, with bulging muscles that make his clothes a little thin. Standing opposite Ji Chou, who also looks extremely wild, he doesn't look like two people at all. People who are good at long-range attacks are like two wrestlers.

Zhang Jue carried a one-meter-long bow on his back. It was made of some kind of wood. I feel that I will take a bow and hammer someone's head at any time.

"Fifth scene, closing ceremony—

start! "

On the outside of the arena, a forbidden soldier stood on a high platform, holding a flag, looked around, and slammed the flag.

Immediately afterwards, the two took a few steps back almost simultaneously, and stood at the edge of the ring.

The two were subconsciously taken aback, and the few people under the ring were also subconsciously taken aback.

After all, the vast majority of people have never seen two people do it, they can only judge from the first impression, and these two people are very few strong men like Xun Wu who can lift the test stone above their heads. With this muscular appearance, even if one person is carrying a bow and the other is holding a crossbow, it's hard to believe that the two of them wouldn't hammer each other at close range.

But obviously, the audience thought so, and the two people on the ring naturally thought so too.

Even if he is not weak in melee combat, he would be stupid to fight head-on with the tough guy on the opposite side. Wouldn't he be stupid if he was knocked down by a backhand punch?It's better to experiment a little bit.

"It seems that the Ji family's assassins are even better." Suicune half-sat on the tall building, stroking his long beard and observing.

Although far away.

Although the actions of the two are the same.

But that doesn't mean he can't see things.

Although the two had exactly the same strategy, when the flag fell, Ji Chou stepped back first, while Zhang Jue was a little slower.

It's just that both of them are also good at speed, so others seem to have exactly the same effect.

But the first moment of the ring battle is usually something that the two of them have thought about in their minds. When they have already thought about it, they haven't reacted yet, and instead let the opponent react first. This is tactically already. Lost half.

As a "martial champion" who has fought all over the world, and a madman who has fought all over the world, Shui Jun's fighting experience in the ring is unmatched. Sure enough, just as he expected, the next battle between Ji Chou and Zhang Jue During the battle, Ji Chou often seized the opportunity and accumulated more and more advantages. In the end, she even guessed what Zhang Jue was thinking in advance, and interrupted it first, forcing Zhang Jue to use his trump card.

"A person who is a shocker, his boxing skills are no different from decades ago."

Jingxianmen is not considered a big school in Jianghu, at most it is similar to Badao Mountain Villa, but its history is quite long, and it also manages the business of bows and arrows, making various special arrows for the court, so it has been They are all doing well and can afford enough students.

In addition, people who practice bows are generally more powerful, and the Jingxian Sect itself has more money, so most of them will spend some extra resources for their disciples to learn other kung fu as well. It would be nice to have a little magic.

Things like boxing and palm techniques that don't require additional weapons and are relatively easy to learn are Jing Xianmen's favorite.

But this Jue, when he was doing his fists, he still didn't change his thinking in the fight, and fought according to the Jingxianmen's tactics, which seemed very stupid.

After all, the boxing technique learned by the people from the Jingxian Sect is a killer weapon in the first place, and what they pursue is to win with one blow. Relying on the physique of the people from the Jingxian Sect, if they seize the opportunity, it is not surprising that they can defeat their opponents with one punch. It is the same way of domineering as the broadsword.

It's a pity that this person is still limited to his own martial arts, and has no idea of ​​​​breaking the shackles. He obviously has a strong physical fitness, but this punch was released from a distance, instead of seizing the opportunity to hit the Ji family's cub at close range.

This is lost.

Sure enough, it was half a cup of tea time, and Zhang Jue was helpless, so he could only raise his hand as a signal to admit defeat.

After all, he has already seen that the opponent has several chances to kill him, but because of the same friendship, he is not a life-and-death enemy, so he didn't completely ruthless, and he didn't have to prove anything, If he persisted, he would still be the one to be ashamed, so he just voted.

"That's right, it's much better than the one I disabled back then." Seeing Zhang Jue admit defeat, Shui Jun nodded.

He thought for a while, and further speculated: "If I remember correctly, Xun Wu will now face the [temptation] of the three members of the Ji family, right?

Although Ji Chou used the same tactics as Zhang Jue, his actions changed from time to time, which meant that he had a variety of fighting methods available, not limited to one at all.

Look at him kicking arrows with his feet, bending the direction of bows and arrows with flying knives, and the stability of his final punch... I didn't expect that the Ji clan, who specialize in long-range assassination and tracking, has a talent who is good at close combat. "

It's quite boring for most people in Jiang Hu, but the battle between two people shooting arrows at each other, throwing hidden weapons, and running around the ring is very interesting for Shui Jun.

At the same time, another battle came to an end.

Duan Bielai relied on his courage and successfully defeated his opponent.

At this time, Shui Jun also commented by the way: "It's also cat cat boxing. This boy from Siam is much weaker than Xun Wu."

"good good good good!"

Suicune heard a burst of excited shouts.

This is a person downstairs from him.

His name is He Jing.

It seems to be that Duan Bielai's biological father.

Hiding secretly in this Wanbao Tower, he just wanted to see the situation over there. Although he was not as strong as Suicune, it was enough to recognize the direction of the flag and know that Duanbie had won.

"If you want to break through the master with your feelings, you have a chance."

Suicune had no interest in him.

It's just a guru, it doesn't mean anything.

To him, continuing to observe those who might become Xun Wu's opponents, continuing to observe Xun Wu, was something worth concentrating on.

After all, for him, the inheritance of Tao is the top priority.

Others, he is really not interested at all.
