the next day.
The Xia Shou Organization issued a supplementary announcement, officially announcing that five people, Cang Tian from the Kunlun Sect, Jiuxiao from the Kyushu Sect, Gu Daozang from the Gu family, Qi Dongxue from the Qi family, and Chen Ye, were the seed contestants of the Xia Kingdom to participate in the global martial arts competition.
One month later, all the major martial arts forces in the Xia Kingdom who are under the age of thirty-five and above Huajin can go to the Xia Kingdom Martial Arts Hall to participate in a fair selection and challenge the five Chen Ye.
Five seeded players including Chen Ye will accept the challenge unconditionally.
If they are defeated in the challenge, they will lose their place in the global martial arts competition and be replaced by a martial artist who wins the challenge.
This announcement was a response to Chen Ye's post on the Xia Guowu Martial Arts Forum, and it also caused quite a shock in the Xia Guowu Martial Arts community.
For a time, the eyes of all the major forces in Xia Guowu's martial arts circle focused on Chen Ye again.
However--
What no one expected was that in the next month, Chen Ye acted as a worker in the hot summer every day, taking Qin Miaoyan to and from get off work on time, assisting Qin Miaoyan in handling some affairs, and giving people the impression that he did not pay attention to participating in the global martial arts competition at all. The feeling of open selection for quotas.
Whether it is the warrior represented by Lin Heng, who is eager to challenge Chen Ye and other five seed players, or the four of Cang Tian, Jiuxiao, Gu Daozang and Qi Dongxue, they are all practicing in seclusion and trying every means to improve their strength.
As the saying goes, if you sharpen your weapon in battle, it will be useless.
Chen Ye formed a sharp contrast with them!
It's not that Chen Ye doesn't want to improve his strength.
But Chen Ye knew that with his current situation, there were only two ways to improve his strength. Either take special medicinal materials and absorb the mysterious energy in the medicinal materials, or find a place with abundant mysterious energy and retreat for a long time.
Under such circumstances, whether he sharpens his skills before battle will have little impact on the open selection or even the subsequent global martial arts competition.
"I'm curious, doesn't King Chen Hell need to practice?"
"Chen King of Hell is so lazy. Does he have enough confidence in his own strength, or does he choose to lie down?"
"I really look forward to the open selection of places for the Global Martial Arts Competition, but this time the selection does not allow spectators to enter, which is a pity."
On the eve of the open selection of places for global martial arts competitions, the Xiaguo Martial Arts Forum became lively again.
Chen Ye's "weird" performance in the month before the selection aroused heated discussion.
Finally, with the anticipation of warriors from all over the Xia Kingdom, the open selection of places for participation in the global martial arts competition arrived as scheduled.
The day before the open selection.
The leaders or elders of the major well-known martial arts forces in the Xia Kingdom came to Yanjing with their heirs who met the public selection requirements and stayed in a hotel near the Xia Kingdom Martial Arts Hall.
The open selection will be held at the martial arts arena of Xia Guo Martial Arts Academy.
"The King of Hell Chen is here!"
In the afternoon, Chen Ye came to the hotel where the major martial arts forces were staying, and the news instantly spread to all the descendants of the major martial arts forces in the hotel!
"Brother Chen Ye!"
Ye Kunlun, Li Jiuzhou and Gu Hetu were sitting in the hotel lobby, waiting for Chen Ye.
They contacted Chen Ye through the communication software and knew the approximate time of Chen Ye's arrival at the hotel. When they saw Chen Ye walking into the hotel lobby, they all stood up to greet him.
"You are here too."
Chen Ye greeted Ye Kunlun and the others with a smile.
On the day he killed the martial arts genius Sato Ichiro of the Ninja Kingdom, he got acquainted with Ye Kunlun and the three of them, and they have always kept in touch.
"Yeah, let's challenge you."
Li Jiuzhou joked with a smile.
Because the Global Martial Arts Competition changed the rules and raised the age to thirty-five, their places in the Global Martial Arts Competition were replaced by Cangtian, Jiuxiao, and Gu Daozang.
The three of them came here with the sect elders and family elders to watch and learn, not to challenge Chen Ye.
"We welcome discussions at any time."
Chen Ye knew that Li Jiuzhou was joking, so he answered with a smile, and then, accompanied by the three of them, went to the hotel front desk to check in.
One minute later.
When Chen Ye completed the check-in procedure, a group of people had gathered in the lobby.
They were all descendants of major martial arts sects. When they learned that Chen Ye had arrived, they all came down to watch.
Even Cangtian from the Kunlun Sect, Jiuxiao from the Kyushu Sect, and Gu Daozang from the Gu family are here! !
"Brother Chen Ye, let me introduce to you. This is my senior brother Jiuxiao, this is the senior brother Cangtian of the Kunlun Sect, and this is Gu Daozang, the eldest son of the Gu family. Like you, they are all from the Xia Kingdom. Seed contestant in the global martial arts competition!"
Li Jiuzhou took the initiative to introduce Jiuxiao, Cangtian and Gudaozang to Chen Ye.
"Ninth Master, Master Cang, Master Gu, hello!"
Chen Ye smiled and greeted Jiuxiao and the others.
At the beginning, the martial arts genius Sato Ichiro of the Ninja Kingdom held a martial arts tour in the Xia Kingdom and swept the martial arts geniuses under the age of 30 in the Xia Kingdom. Ye Kunlun, Zhao Jiuzhou and Furukawa Tu came out to fight.
This was instructed by the three major martial arts forces of Kunlun, Jiuzhou and Gu Family, which shows that the three major martial arts forces are extremely concerned about the dignity and glory of the Xia Kingdom's martial arts community. Compared with the Lin family who closed the mountains to avoid the war during the Anti-Japanese War, they are as different as clouds and mud!
Chen Ye had a good impression of the three major martial arts forces. At this moment, he was very polite when facing the three senior brothers Zhao Jiuzhou.
“I’ve always heard of Chen’s reputation as King of Hell, but when I saw him today, he was truly a hero from a young age.”
"Yes, Ninth Brother, compared with Brother Ono, the name of genius above us is not worthy of the name!"
"Brother Xiaoye, at such a young age, he has such attainments in the field of martial arts, and has promoted our country's prestige several times. It is really a blessing for the Xia Kingdom's martial arts community, and he is also a role model for us!"
Jiuxiao, Gudaozang and Cangtian expressed their appreciation to Chen Ye one after another.
Among them, Cang Tian, who was wearing a long robe and looked like an ascetic, spoke in a refined manner.
"The three masters have received the award, I still want to learn from you!"
Chen Ye continued to smile, keeping his posture very low.
Because he could feel the enthusiasm of Cangtian, the three people, and even the people around him for him!
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly said:
"Lin Heng and Qi Dongxue are here too!"
Swish, swish, swish...
As the man finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to the door of the hotel and saw a young man and woman walking into the hotel.
Lin Heng has a handsome appearance and a tall figure. He wears a luxurious purple robe and has long hair. He follows the ancient method of pulling his hair together with hairpins. His whole person gives people an extraordinary feeling.
Qi Dongxue has an alluring appearance, a graceful figure, a waist like a willow branch, and black hair flowing down like a waterfall. She is wearing a light green dress, looking like a fairy walking out of an ancient painting.
Lin Heng and Qi Dongxue walked side by side, smiling and saying something.
Qi Dongxue reacted coldly, barely responding, and instead turned her gaze to the crowd.
This scene is very similar to the scene where the great tengu pursues the goddess.
And indeed it is.
In the past ten years, Lin Heng has been pursuing Qi Dongxue and wanted to marry Qi Dongxue.
In addition to the fact that the Lin family wants to marry the Qi family and join forces to join the first echelon of Xia Guo's martial arts world, it is also because Qi Dongxue is so outstanding, whether it is appearance, body, temperament, self-cultivation, or martial arts talent. Xia Guowu is second to none in the martial arts world.
However--
Qi Dongxue is devoted to martial arts and has been in seclusion all year round. She doesn't care about Lin Heng's pursuit at all.
She and Lin Heng met outside the hotel. It was a chance encounter.
As for whether this encounter was intentional by Lin Heng or it was really an accident, Qi Dongxue didn't think about it and just showed a very cold look.
Um? ?
Suddenly, Qi Dongxue saw Chen Ye's figure in the crowd. Her eyes lit up immediately, excitement emerged between her brows, and she immediately quickened her pace towards the crowd.
Lin Heng noticed something strange about Qi Dongxue, and then he looked away from Qi Dongxue's face and looked at the crowd.
next moment.
He clearly saw that almost all the young talents from the major martial arts forces were gathered in the lobby, looking at him and Qi Dongxue.
Many of them had disdain on their faces and mocking smiles on their lips.
Because they all knew about Lin Heng's pursuit of Qi Dongxue, and they despised Lin Heng's behavior as a big dog.
After showing contempt and ridicule, everyone turned their attention away from Lin Heng and towards Qi Dongxue.
Marrying a wife should be like Qi Dongxue.
This is the dream of many Xia Guo martial arts geniuses! !
At this moment, everyone including Jiuxiao, Cangtian, and Gudaozang looked at Qi Dongxue with admiration in their eyes.
Even Chen Ye, who had seen all kinds of beauties in the two worlds, his eyes lit up when he saw Qi Dongxue. He felt that Qi Dongxue looked like a peerless heroine in martial arts.
"Master Chen, I am Qi Dongxue, nice to meet you!!"
next moment.
Under the gaze of everyone, Qi Dongxue, who was regarded as Bai Yueguang by many Xia Kingdom martial arts geniuses, walked quickly to the middle of the crowd, ignoring Jiuxiao, Cangtian and Gudaozang, and locked his eyes on Chen Ye, smiling and clasping his fists.
The sudden scene shocked Jiuxiao and others, and then they all looked at Chen Ye in unison, their eyes full of envy.
Because, in their memory, this was the first time Qi Dongxue took the initiative to say hello to the opposite sex, with a bright smile on her face!
Lin Heng, who was outside the crowd, was so angry that his liver ached when he saw this scene!
In order to pursue Qi Dongxue, he had been a big dog for ten years, and he had hardly seen Qi Dongxue's smiling face!
As a result, Qi Dongxue met Chen Ye today. Not only did she take the initiative to say hello, she also smiled brightly!
This comparison is really too disparate!
"Hello, Miss Qi."
Qi Dongxue's proactive greeting made Chen Ye slightly surprised, but he responded with a smile immediately.
The smile on Qi Dongxue's face did not diminish and she continued:
"Master Chen, last time, my brother accidentally offended you. I wanted to come and apologize on his behalf, but he has been in retreat recently. Today, I take this opportunity to say sorry to you on his behalf. I hope you don't mind."
"Miss Qi, you're welcome. It was just a trivial matter and it has passed."
Chen Ye waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
This time.
As soon as Chen Ye finished speaking, Lin Heng, who was standing outside the crowd, couldn't stand it anymore and sneered:
"A warrior who transforms strength, you have the nerve to let Dongxue call you master? Are you feeling guilty?!"
"Lin Heng, what does my name, Master Chen, have to do with you?"
Before Chen Ye could speak, Qi Dongxue turned around, frowned, and stared at Lin Heng coldly.
At the same time, Jiuxiao and others looked at Lin Heng again.
They all know that the Lin family was both a bitch and a memorial arch some time ago.
Lin Heng saw this and sneered in public:
“Dongxue, I don’t think he deserves it!
Aside from the fact that he is a Huajin martial artist, he relies on his connections in the government and the public. In order to break through the realm of martial arts, he asked major martial arts forces to provide him with special medicinal materials, and also found someone to reserve a quota for the global martial arts competition. How shameless! "
"Lin Heng, are you showing off your fox tail and can't wait to challenge me?"
Chen Ye smiled jokingly.
Lin Heng said coldly: "Chen, I will tell you tomorrow that open selection relies on strength, not connections!"
"We'll see."
Chen Ye nodded slightly to Lin Heng, as if he was looking at a clown.
