That night.
In the study room.
An eunuch knelt on the ground, holding a dossier in both hands, "Your Majesty, these are some people worthy of attention in this year's martial arts competition."
Liu Huangben was reviewing the memorial. When he heard this, he kept his hands and eyes open and just raised his chin slightly.
The young eunuch waiting on the side was very discerning. When he saw this, he walked over directly, took the file from the hands of the kneeling eunuch, then walked back and placed it gently beside Emperor Liu.
Liu Huang continued to review the memorial, "Today has just been the second round of development, how can there be anyone worthy of attention?"
The kneeling eunuch immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, today is a test of strength. There are indeed a few people who performed amazingly, far surpassing other martial arts candidates. I feel that these people should pay attention to them, and I hereby report to Your Majesty."
After hearing this, Liu Huang paused with the pen in his hand, then put it on the pen holder, picked up the file and started reading.
There were not many people written on the paper, only a few, but when he saw where they came from, Liu Huang raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"These people are all from Zhenlong Sect..."
He thought to himself, and then he saw the last name. This name couldn't help but be circled in red, and even more so.
"Um!?!"
Liu Huang put down the scroll and stared at the eunuch with his deep and indifferent eyes, "What does this Su Chen mean?"
The eunuch kneeling on the ground said: "Back to Your Majesty, this boy's performance at that time was really unforgettable. The tester, who weighed more than 800 kilograms, was knocked away by him with one punch. If the slave hadn't been decisive, he would have been allowed to pass. "
"The tester will probably collapse on the spot!"
After speaking, he paused, his tone changed to a solemn tone, and said: "Because, with one punch, the subject vomited blood and was unable to continue the next test."
After hearing these words, Liu Huang's eyes became more serious, and he lightly touched the table with his fingers. After a while, he slowly nodded and said: "I understand, please step back first!"
"Here!"
The eunuch responded, bowed and exited the study room.
Liu Huang's eyes darkened, and they looked particularly deep under the light of the candle.
"Suppressing Dragon Sect..."
These few people worthy of attention are all from Zhenlong Sect!
One of them is Su Chen!
Although he has never seen it before, he is quite familiar with this name...
"Chu Jin, is this your warning to me?"
He murmured in his mouth, taking it for granted that Chu Jin asked these people to participate in the martial arts competition to show him power.
Regarding the last time, Qin Huai was asked to test his attitude and express his dissatisfaction.
"Oh, then let me see whether you, the Suppressing Dragon Sect, is better at cultivating disciples, or our younger generation from Shu Kingdom, who is better!"
Liu Huang smiled meaningfully, it was just a test of strength, nothing could be seen.
but…
Liu Huang once again fixed his gaze on the name Su Chen, his eyes showing deep thought, "Let me know. I'll pay close attention to it now that I know about it!"
The young eunuch looked along his hand and saw his name, which was very red.
"Here!"
…
On the second day, the test was on on-the-spot reactions.
It's still the same school grounds.
However, a different group of people were tested, replaced by lieutenants wearing light armor. Every martial arts candidate who went up would face a different scene.
These lieutenants will attack candidates randomly and suddenly, which requires candidates to respond to emergencies on the spot.
Moreover, these lieutenants showed no mercy in their attacks. They aimed to maim or injure people. In short, just make them incapacitated.
After a few games, almost no one passed by, and he was carried away from the school grounds, which showed that his condition was miserable.
Yesterday, nearly 60% of the people were screened out, so today it was Ma Xuecheng's turn soon.
When the lieutenant saw that it was him, his frivolous expression became much more serious. Yesterday, he saw several outstanding young people. No matter who he met, he had to treat them seriously, otherwise he might be the one who was embarrassed.
The two stood opposite each other, looking at each other, but silently caring about each other.
Ma Xuecheng was more serious than yesterday, but his expression was still relaxed. He saw the strength of these lieutenants and could handle them.
"call…"
I saw the lieutenant's feet swiping on the ground and his body suddenly ejected.
Ma Xuecheng's expression suddenly perked up and he looked serious, but after a while, he didn't see the lieutenant's attack coming down.
Suddenly, he was keenly aware of a sharp edge on his right side. His long-term combat experience drove him to react immediately. He jumped into the air with the soles of his feet and then spun his body in the air.
Immediately, he saw an arrow without an arrow, passing close to his clothes and shooting straight towards the field next to him.
The lieutenant in the field next to him was keenly aware of it. He glanced coldly and quickly reached out to grab the arrow in his hand.
Then, he scolded in the direction of the arrow: "Wang Qiang, you are going to die!"
The lieutenant in Ma Xuecheng's field held his bow and smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I'll treat you to a drink later!"
Hearing this, the lieutenant's face looked better. He glanced at Ma Xuecheng and raised his eyebrows. It was obvious that he recognized this person.
He said, "Take care of yourself."
The lieutenant named Wang Qiang smiled and put the bow back on the weapon shelf. Different methods should be used for different people. He had this idea when he saw that Ma had learned it.
After all, he is different from other candidates, so he is naturally treated more specially.
"You've been through a lot of battles?"
Wang Qiang looked at Ma Xuecheng and asked in surprise.
The smooth movements he used to dodge arrows just now, as well as his keen perception of unknown dangers, are all tempered by many battles.
When Ma Xuecheng thought about the time he had been in the underground space, he couldn't help but smile as if he was lucky to survive the disaster, and nodded, "That's right!"
Hearing this, Wang Qiang nodded clearly and said: "You are qualified!"
Ma Xuecheng nodded, "Thank you." Then he walked back to the crowd.
If he can pass, there is no need to say anything else about the others, they all pass very easily.
In the afternoon, it was finally Su Chen's turn.
The lieutenant responsible for testing Su Chen was the one who succeeded Wang Qiang as lieutenant.
"Tsk."
When he saw the person coming, his face became visibly ugly. The scene where Su Chen punched the fat man away yesterday was still vivid in his mind. That power... I'm afraid I can't take a punch with my body.
But if you are good at strength, you may not be good at speed.
"Watch me subdue you with my speed!"
As soon as he thought of this, he moved quickly, his body turned into a gust of wind, and headed straight towards Su Chen.
In this regard, Su Chen looked calm and composed, as if he ignored it.
However, this time, no one showed contempt for this. They had learned from the past, but they were all looking forward to what he would do.
When the eunuchs saw him, they couldn't help but become solemn and stared at him with great vigor.
This is a command from the Holy Spirit, and you should pay close attention to it!
The lieutenant suddenly appeared behind Su Chen, his right hand clenched into a fist. Everyone on the sidelines watched this scene clearly, their hearts seemed to be tightened as they clenched their fists, and they forgot to breathe for a moment.
"Move!"
Many people roared in their hearts, if they don't move, they will be hit!
But Su Chen was still carefree, as if he didn't notice.
"boom!"
The lieutenant's fist fell straight down, and there was a bang. Dust suddenly flew across the field, and the flying dust was thick enough to obscure his vision.
"how's it going?"
"The smoke is so thick, did you hit it?"
Everyone on the sidelines poked their heads to see clearly what was going on in the smoke and dust, but as the dust dispersed, only a figure was seen standing in it.
After they dispersed completely, it was Lieutenant!
Where is Su Chen! ?
Why is it missing? ?
Everyone looked shocked. With so many people and so many pairs of eyes, how could such a big living person be missed?
"There he is!"
Suddenly someone shouted in surprise.
In an instant, everyone heard the sound and moved, and saw Su Chen standing tall on the weapons rack with an outstanding posture.
"The speed is acceptable and the strength is acceptable."
Su Chen spoke calmly, with a commenting tone, and said, "But if you want to hit me, it's still not enough."
As he spoke, he tapped the weapon rack with his toes, jumped up, and landed floatingly on the ground.
The lieutenant stared at him with complicated eyes. No one knew better than him that Su Chen's speed had reached a terrifying level.
When he moved, his fist was about to touch him.
The control of timing is excellent, and at the same time, you must have absolute confidence in your speed, both of which are indispensable!
And it was obvious that Su Chen was able to control it freely.
"The future life is to be feared."
The lieutenant smiled bitterly in his heart, obviously there was no need to test again.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Su Chen, qualified!"
It is a reasonable and expected result.
Everyone watched Su Chen leave with admiring eyes.
When the eunuch saw the person leaving, he gave his instructions and left.
Enter the capital, then enter the palace and find Emperor Liu.
"See Your Majesty!"
At this time, Liu Huang was walking with his concubine. When he saw it was him, he raised his eyebrows and sent the concubine away.
"If my calculation is correct, you should be presiding over the martial arts competition at this time."
The eunuch knelt down, showing his servile attitude, "Back to the Holy One, Su Chen's test is over."
From now on, there will be no one worthy of attention after Su Chen. It would be the same with or without him hosting the event.
Hearing the name Su Chen, Liu Huang knew his purpose and nodded, "Tell me, how was his performance today?"
The eunuch immediately told everything about Su Chen's performance today.
After finishing speaking, he added, "According to my observations over the past two days, the realm of these few people worthy of attention should be above that of a great martial artist."
Liu Huang nodded and suddenly became interested, "What do you think it's just your opinion?"
When the eunuch heard this, his body immediately trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "I don't dare!"
Liu Huang raised his eyebrows and said, "I tell you to speak openly and openly!"
"Here!"
The eunuch responded and then said: "I believe that the test prepared for the great martial artist is not enough to apply to them."
"Now the number of remaining candidates has reached the third round target."
"Forgive me for overstepping. From the current situation, we can skip the next test and go directly to the third round. In this way, there will be no less people who should be screened out."
Liu Huang recognized this very much, nodded, and waved his hand proudly: "But, I will leave this matter to you!"
Hearing this, the eunuch was ecstatic and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!!!"
