Volume Five Chapter 33 Civil and Military Struggle
Early that morning, the square opposite Tianyun Tower was crowded with people, and everyone's eyes were focused on the arena in front of them.
The second event of the Xuanshuang Sword Sect's annual gathering officially kicked off.
Yesterday, another full-day meeting was hosted by Pang Yuanming in the auditorium of Tianyun Building. Mo Qianqian was also present, with Yao Zhiheng and Zhao Zhuer beside her. As for Yan Dai'e, she had already taken over some of the affairs of Tianyun Building under Pang Yuanming's arrangement. Affairs, it can be regarded as the formal punishment of three years of hard work.
This gathering is mainly for the peripheral disciples of Xuanshuang Sword Sect in Wujian City, mainly to test their strength and some willingness.
When Feng Hanshuang came back, Pang Yuanming had already sorted out the information. She spent another night and finally selected thirty people. Among them, only five were rank-free mortal immortals, three were in the first level, and one was in the third level. Realm, one person is in the fifth level, and the other twenty-five people are in the Qi Refining Realm, ranging from the first to the tenth level. As for the peripheral disciples of the Strength Refining Realm and even the Inner Refining Realm, although they also wanted to do something for Xuanshuang Sword Sect, they were automatically ignored by Feng Hanshuang. For the sake of their sincerity, she asked Pang Yuanming to distribute some to them. With the resources to practice, I hope they can make further progress and look forward to the coming year.
What disappoints Feng Hanshuang is that the five non-grade mortals, and even the peripheral disciple at the fifth level, cannot step into the way of swordsmanship. Perhaps it is for this reason that he and the other four people proposed to leave Wujian City. , although it was a pity, Feng Hanshuang still decided to help them. Maybe, if they go out for a walk, they might gain some hope.
Of course, these thirty people were only the preliminary candidates, and in the end, only less than ten people got what they wanted, because Feng Hanshuang had already had a plan in mind. In addition to selecting the new city lord of Thousand Tree City, she also I want to establish another patrol team for Thousand Trees City. Including the manpower that needs to be supplemented elsewhere, there are only eight people in total.
As for the matter at Mine No. 5, Feng Hanshuang had actually obtained accurate information from He Feiyao. What they said was true, but even He Feiyao didn't know much about the specific situation. Therefore, Feng Hanshuang did not deal with this matter immediately, nor did he think of sending additional manpower to Mine No. 5.
…
On the side of the ring, Feng Hanshuang, Bai Fei, Mo Qianqian, Yao Zhiheng and Zhao Zhuer were all present. Zhu Tianchuan, the owner of the No. 5 mine, Ling Zeliang, the captain of the patrol team, Zhu Chengwei, the captain of the Qianshu City patrol team, and several others were waiting. The newly joined city owner and mine owner stood quietly not far away. The thirty peripheral disciples who were going to participate in the second activity were staying below the ring, each with a table and a stool. Behind them were the other peripheral disciples who had not been selected. Behind them were Wu who were purely watching the excitement. People from all walks of life in Jian City.
This second event is still hosted by Pang Yuanming.
At Feng Hanshuang's signal, Pang Yuanming walked to the center of the ring and spoke loudly to the bottom.
"Everyone, this year's quota has been set. There are only eight in total. That is to say, among the thirty of you, only eight will get what they want. I believe you have also seen that this year's selection is slightly different. This Once, in addition to fighting, there was also a literary fight, and the first thing was a literary fight. The general rules are as follows: Scores are counted through literary fights, and rankings are counted through martial fights. The details are as follows: First, ranking according to the scores of literary fights, Priority is given to selecting combat opponents in turn; secondly, after the eight battles are over, no one selected can issue a challenge. Except for the top eight in martial arts, everyone else can challenge. If the challenger wins or no one challenges him, he can be included in the candidates; thirdly, in summary, including the top eight in literary battles and those who have won eight battles but did not enter the top eight in literary battles, as well as the person who finally challenged and won, Xuan Shuang Sword The sect will select eight of these people and give them appropriate positions."
As soon as the rules came out, many people understood the key points, such as the number one in Wen Dou
Because the person with the name has the right to choose his opponent first, he is usually a sure winner and will not be challenged later. Although the final decision-making power is still in the hands of Xuanshuang Sword Sect, it is enough to prove that the first The main event is the literary battle.
Wen Dou, who has never appeared before, was written by Bai Fei.
When he thought of Shangfeng Hanshuang knocking on his door in the middle of the night last night, Bai Fei felt a little funny. At that time, he almost misunderstood.
Bai Fei put forward Wen Dou's suggestion, which made Feng Hanshuang's eyes shine. Then, the two discussed the assessment for a long time before finally settling on the rules that Pang Yuanming had mentioned before.
There is a big loophole in these rules, that is, the top eight people in Wen Dou have a very obvious advantage. If someone deliberately loses to a selected opponent, it will not shake his advantage. Feng Hanshuang did not struggle with this point. After all, everyone had sharp eyes. If someone really did this, she would definitely rule it out. After all, the final decision was still in her hands, like this People who are too young are simply not worthy of their responsibilities.
"Everyone must be well aware of the importance of this literary battle. Without further ado, let's start the first literary battle immediately." Pang Yuanming kindly reminded him and immediately announced the start of the assessment.
Soon, Wen Dou's test papers and pens were distributed.
The contents of the examination papers are free-form topics and do not involve any targeted knowledge. They mainly assess the attitudes and abilities of these thirty people in dealing with others. For example, if you are given an incident and asked what your opinion is and how to deal with it, etc.
For a moment, the thirty people thought hard. They would never have imagined that as a monk, they would have such a day!
Those spectators were waiting quietly with a strange mood. Just because there is no excitement to see now, does not mean that there will be no excitement later!
Half an hour later, people started handing in papers one after another.
Bai Fei and Feng Hanshuang also began to give more reasonable scores based on their own standards. They did not grade the papers separately. Instead, Bai Fei gave the score first, and then handed it over to Feng Hanshuang for review. She would give extra points or extra points as appropriate. Minus points.
After more than an hour, Wen Dou's score came out.
"First place, No. 13. Second place, No. 22. Third place, No. 3."
"..."
Pang Yuanming announced the top eight Wen Dou.
These thirty people are all arranged by numbers. Feng Hanshuang does not want them to be known to more people. Of course, except for numbers 1 to 5, which correspond to the five rank-free mortals, the others are not ranked according to their cultivation level. .
Among the five rankless mortals, only No. 3 entered the top eight in Wen Dou, which somewhat surprised Bai Fei.
"No. 13, please choose your opponent."
On the stage, Pang Yuanming said to a young man that he was the champion of this literary fight.
"No. 27." After thinking for a while, No. 13 announced his chosen opponent.
As soon as he finished speaking, a person from the audience jumped onto the ring. He looked a little surprised. You know, his cultivation level is not much different from that of No. 13, and they both have the strength of the Qi Refining Realm.
No. 13 did not choose someone with a low level of Qi Refining Realm, but chose No. 27, who was at a level similar to his own. From this point of view alone, it was already impressive. Feng Hanshuang also nodded imperceptibly, thinking. I am very satisfied with the choice of No. 13.
For No. 27, this is his only chance, so he naturally has to use all his strength.
Following Pang Yuanming's order, the two started fighting in the ring.
A non-grade mortal immortal cannot truly absorb and refine the immortal energy, and naturally has no immortal power in his body. Even if he learns some relatively low-level immortal techniques or magic, he cannot use them. Therefore, the competition between the two , fighting with a martial artist instead
There is not much difference. They compete purely with their own fists, feet, martial arts skills, etc. Both of them are in the Qi refining realm. In addition to the strength of fists and feet, they also have Qi, but their realms are not much different, so there is no situation where one of them is better in perseverance and endurance. Who wins and who loses depends on it. Their respective proficiency in martial arts moves and techniques, plus a little bit of luck.
After more than a dozen back and forth, the two of them fought evenly, and neither could do anything to the other.
At the 100th round, the balance of victory still did not tilt.
Finally there is something exciting to watch! Everyone's mood immediately became lively.
After nearly 300 rounds, No. 13 finally won this difficult battle with a slight advantage.
Because of the choice of 13, in the next seven battles, the opponents chosen by the second to eighth Wen Dou players have similar cultivation levels to themselves. Of course, they are not fools and will not choose a higher number. Use your own people as opponents.
In this way, every battle is an eye-catching experience, but as you get to the back, people who really have no choice, like the seventh and eighth place, have to choose the one whose cultivation level is lower than their own. As opponents, the two of them won more easily than in the previous games.
In the end, none of the top eight in the literary fight lost the fight, which made Feng Hanshuang very pleased, not only pleased with their choice, but also pleased with their strength.
After that, the challenge phase begins.
After a moment of silence, No. 1, who was in the fifth level of the Immortal Immortal Realm, took the lead in issuing a challenge. Naturally, no one dared to challenge him, so he entered the list of candidates.
Then came No. 2, and still no one faced him. Then No. 4, No. 5.
Apart from these four people, there are those who will challenge them later.
Due to the previous selection of the top eight in the literary battle, even if the selected person's cultivation level is higher than that of the person who issued the challenge, their energy consumption is really exaggerated, and a great opportunity is in front of them, but they can only miss it.
There are also some people, perhaps with the intention of trying again next year, who take the initiative to let this opportunity slip through their fingers. Therefore, including the four unqualified mortals, there are only five more candidates.
There are seventeen people in total.
How to choose eight out of these seventeen people? Who should be appointed as the city lord of Thousand Trees City?
These things can be decided by Feng Hanshuang.
Feng Hanshuang was already discussing with Bai Fei.
Since the number of official disciples of Xuanshuang Sword Sect is very small, they have never been short of training resources. Feng Hanshuang also told Bai Fei that the cultivation level of the candidate this time is second, and the most important thing is loyalty and doing things. ability. In terms of loyalty, Pang Yuanming has already screened them once. The so-called literary struggle naturally tests their ability to do things. Of course, this is only theoretical and will have to be implemented with facts in the future.
Before the results came out, everyone naturally had no reason to leave.
"Huh?" Bai Fei suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Feng Hanshuang didn't have as powerful a mind as Bai Fei, and asked in confusion.
"Senior sister, let everyone disperse first. There are three battleships approaching Wujian City. They look a little evil... Wait, that sign, the red skull..."
"Bloody skull?" Feng Hanshuang was shocked.
"It should be the bloody skeleton you mentioned to me before."
"Senior brother, please take care of Zhiheng, Zhu'er and the others."
Without waiting for Bai Fei's answer, Feng Hanshuang made a decisive decision and called Pang Yuanming, asking him to send everyone away immediately.
She didn't mention Mo Qianqian, because if the bloody skeleton really arrived, this girl would have to play. As for Bai Fei, she knew that his spiritual thoughts were extremely powerful. Even if his cultivation level was not high, the strength he could unleash was greater than her own. Much stronger, entrusting the two little girls to him, she feels relieved and will not have any worries.
