Huang Shang is not a person who likes taking risks, and the reason why he decided to participate in the Fire Lotus Competition this time was not only because he was worried about being suspected by the scholars of the Ink and Wash Academy and Chen Shouyi, but also had another purpose.
Because according to the information Huang Shang got from the scholars' chats, the Fire Lotus Competition, which takes place once in decades, is not only about fighting for the Fire Lotus, but also a battle between light and darkness between the three major kingdoms.
The overt aspect is naturally a competition between the younger generations of the three major countries, while the secret aspect is that the three major countries take the opportunity to exchange what they have, exchange some strategic materials or intelligence, and even exchange each other's captured intelligence personnel.
Nowadays, the three major kingdoms are searching for "devil species descended from the sky", and this Fire Lotus Competition will definitely be related to it. It is even very possible that the "devil species" from the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Yan are among them. Come here to look for other demon species. Firstly, you can check the intelligence and know yourself and the enemy. Secondly, you can also seek cooperation to fight against the three kingdoms.
And Zhuge Youlong and others are very likely to be among them!
At least it's possible to get their information!
Therefore, Huang Shangming knew that there would be certain risks in participating in this Fire Lotus Competition, but he still decided to participate.
Of course, this is also because of his skill and boldness. With his current strength and the preparations he will make in the next ten days, he will be sure to escape unscathed even if his identity is exposed, at least not involving Yu Rou. et al.
…
Therefore, in the next few days, Huang Shang spent a small amount of time with the scholars and spent most of the time in Wenxiang Tower, pretending to be indulging in wine and sex.
But this is not surprising. Scholars these days are extremely enthusiastic about romantic affairs. What's more, Wenxiang Tower is the best building in the world, not to mention Huang Shang. Even many of their fellow scholars are also here. Lingering and indulging in the gentle countryside, coupled with Huang Shang's character as a "lecher" who first took the initiative to ask about Wenxiang Tower, and Yurou and others' support inside Wenxiang Tower, this will not cause any confusion. the suspicion of others.
As for those people inside Wenxiang Tower, they had already been controlled by Yurou using the "Illusion of the Sky", otherwise they would not have hidden their corruption here for so long without Chen Shouyi knowing about it.
The so-called illusion of space is actually a very special blood inheritance, and it is the innate ability of Chen Shouyi's lineage. Their bloodline is called [Huan Kong Bloodline], and it can awaken illusions or space techniques. Chen Shouyi relied on his powerful space secret techniques to repeatedly kill enemies and capture flags on the battlefield, creating a miraculous record.
And Yurou is even more blessed with the ability to awaken the dual abilities of illusion and space. Although she is not as good as Feng and Huang Shang in frontal combat, she is more useful when dealing with ordinary strong men.
Otherwise, even if Chen Shouyi helped hide the news, Yurou would not have been able to hide in Wenxiang Building for ten years so smoothly without anyone knowing.
It was also with the help of Yurou's illusion of space that Huang Shang appeared to be addicted to having fun in Wenxiang Tower, but in fact he slipped out of Wenxiang Tower quietly and grew up in this huge Tai'an. There are many restrictions in place. Once these restrictions are fully activated, even if they cannot break the city defense restrictions of Tai'an City, they can definitely delay him for a period of time, thereby creating opportunities to escape or defeat the enemy.
In this way, after almost ten days of preparation, the Fire Lotus Competition is about to begin.
…
On this day, Senior Brother Wen gathered all the scholars early in the morning to prepare for the Fire Lotus Competition.
As Huang Shang expected from the beginning, it was absolutely impossible for this group of young and energetic scholars to miss this opportunity, so no one withdrew from the Fire Lotus Competition.
This also made Huang Shang feel a little lucky. Under such circumstances, if he really quit the Fire Lotus Competition, he would definitely be suspected by Chen Shouyi. Then Chen Shouyi would not let go of this "demon that brought disaster to the country"!
After all, he is not Chen Shouyi's son!
"Okay, be quiet. The City Lord's people will be here soon."
After gathering everyone together, Senior Brother Wen first said something coldly, making the originally playful crowd quiet down a bit, then shook his head and sighed: "This time Fire Lotus competes for the reputation of Xieguan Academy and Senior Brother, even It is also related to the prestige of our Kingdom of Darkness. As contestants, can you be more serious with me? Don’t think I don’t know. Many of you are indulged in drinking and sex these days and have simply forgotten the tasks handed down by the City Lord. Your mission, even if I hadn't reminded you of it, senior brother, I'm afraid some of you would still be staying in the Wenxiang Tower today and not thinking about Shu, right?"
Speaking of this, Senior Brother Wen couldn't help but glare at a few of them, and Huang Shang was naturally among them.
"Senior brother, you don't go less often than us..."
Hearing what Senior Brother Wen said, a scholar couldn't help but murmured.
Indeed, if we were to talk about who among them ran to Wenxiang Building the most diligently, it would be none other than Senior Brother Wen. At least other scholars went there every now and then, but Senior Brother Wen simply seemed to be working in Wenxiang Building. No matter which group of scholars went there to have fun, they could still see this senior brother.
"Senior brother, I am not participating this time. I have worked hard for so many years and done so many things for the academy. What happened to my enjoyment this time!"
Hearing the scholar's muttering, Senior Brother Wen immediately glared at the man, ready to say something.
But at this moment, a knock on the door suddenly rang, and at the same time a hoarse voice came from outside the door: "Dear students, the Lord of the City asked me to take you to participate in the Fire Lotus Competition!"
"it's time!"
Hearing the knock on the door, Senior Brother Wen and everyone present looked solemn.
It's all fun, they don't dare to be careless about the Fire Lotus Competition, which is about their own future!
Then, Senior Brother Wen led everyone to open the door, and at the door a veteran with a missing left arm and wearing black armor was waiting for them.
"Please follow me!"
The veteran glanced at these young scholars, said indifferently, then turned around and walked out.
Only then did the scholars notice that the veteran not only had a broken arm, but also had some problems with his left foot. He was walking with a limp and looked a little embarrassed.
But at the same time, everyone could clearly feel the cold and chilling aura on the veteran's body. The aura was so intense that it was as if the person walking in front of them was not a lame veteran with missing arms, but a slightly mutilated hand. But it's still as sharp and deadly as an edge!
Feeling the cold aura on the veteran's body, the scholars did not dare to say anything, and even stopped playing. They followed the veteran in silence, and soon came to a huge building in the center of Tai'an City. !
ps: Here’s an update, okay!
