Chapter 28 Zhong Rui’s arrangements
Yi Xifeng was really shocked when he watched Lin Lei take the stage and then be defeated by Geng Shu, who was also halfway to the level of a knight. Linley's strength is not bad. No matter among the seven people, or among the twelve martial arts masters who are not very low in the combat power rankings, they are at least better than Zhong Lingxi, Qi Chengcheng, and Wu Xiaoxiao. powerful.
With this kind of combat power, Lin Lei can easily deal with enemies in the average knight realm, not to mention enemies in the half-step knight realm. As early as five years ago, a few of them could do it with their talent.
However, today's competition in the arena also made Yi Xifeng understand a truth. There is no shortage of geniuses and elites in the world. You are stronger than the average warrior in the knight realm, but your opponent is also the same, even stronger than you. Some.
This young scholar named Geng Shu is obviously such a character. Judging from the fight between the two just now, their actual combat power must have reached the level of the knight. Both of them are rare young talents in the world. Unfortunately, Lin Lei's skills were severely restrained by the opponent. of.
"It seems that this martial arts competition has summoned half of the young talents of Luo Yun Kingdom. If you want to win this competition, you need more than just strength!" Yi Xifeng looked at the two people fighting on the stage and murmured. murmured to himself.
At this time, a competition had just been held on the stage. The winner was a strong man with a big body and a round waist, while his opponent was a skinny young man. However, this is the third game he has persisted in. The first two games also encountered difficulties. After the two battles, this thin young man has suffered serious internal injuries, and his internal energy has also been exhausted. In the end, this man was defeated. The strong man took advantage.
Anyone with a discerning eye can naturally see that this strong man's strength is at most the cultivation level of the Mang Realm, coupled with his natural brute strength, he can be regarded as half a warrior with both internal and external cultivation. In fact, strictly speaking, his strength is not weak, but compared to the strength of Lin Lei and Geng Shu, he is undoubtedly more than a step weaker.
The old referee was about to ask the warriors in the audience, who is willing to go on stage and fight?
A heroic young man has already stood on the stage!
"Zhong Rui from the Kingdom of Beasts, come here for advice!"
As soon as these words came out, the square in front of Qingyun Palace fell silent. Among the people present, more than 40% of the disciples of the Qingyun Sect were killed. Of course, most of them were outer disciples. Although they did not have the strength to participate in this competition to find a bride, they could not miss their share of the crowd.
As a loyal supporter of Zhong Lingxi, he naturally knew a lot about Zhong Rui. Of course, it was only after the Zhong family released Zhong Qianhe's posthumous letters that the "little brothers" of the Qingyun Sect gradually got to know this person.
The strong man on the stage felt his heart skip a beat when he saw this scene.
"What's going on with this man? So many people around him know him! Is he very, very strong?" A warrior from another force under the ring asked the people around him in a low voice. At the same time, he also asked the strong man on the stage. doubts.
"This man's name is Zhong Rui. I heard that he is from Senior Sister Lingxi's clan. He was designated by the elders in the family as Senior Sister Lingxi's husband!"
"What?! Fairy Lingxi's husband..."
"That's not right! Since you have a husband, why do you need to hold this contest to recruit a bride?"
"I heard that the woman didn't agree..."
"Then this person seems to have a good background!"
…
Compared with the previous ring battles, most of the people in the audience were talking about this one, but not many people paid attention to the battle on the stage.
The internal energy technique that Zhong Rui practices is called "Linghe Sanyang Jue". It is also a good internal energy technique of the Zhong family, and it is specially designed for men to practice. He had a few moves with this strong man, and he also sensed the opponent's internal strength. Both of them had top-notch five-element skills. To determine the outcome, it would naturally depend on their cultivation.
Zhong Rui has still entered the realm of knights, so he naturally has an advantage. In addition, the strong man has already fought in a battle before. Although the little warrior who is not weak is injured, his actual combat power is greater than that of the strong man. Henkel, so in the end the strong man won by luck, but also paid a heavy price.
Yi Xifeng watched Zhong Rui fighting on the stage in the audience, and felt a little emotional in his heart. At the beginning, he and his opponent were both in the realm of Mang, and the young man was already the captain of the iron-clad guard. Five years later, he was still in the realm of Mang. He was half a knight's cultivation level, but the opponent had already entered the knight realm.
However, this kind of mood only appeared for a moment and was suppressed by him. Yi Xifeng knew that there was no room for laziness in martial arts. He also knew that what was really difficult in martial arts was not suffering and tiredness, but loneliness!
From the day he entered the Zhenwu Dao Hall, Yi Xifeng kept instilling in himself that he must be steady! Absolutely no waste! In five years, from the middle level of the Mang Realm to the Xia Xia Realm, it is actually not too slow to be placed on the Jianghu. But if compared with other sects, not to mention the Zhenwu Dao Palace, even among some second-rate sects, it is still the one lagging behind.
"The tailgaters! Don't take pictures. More often than not, the tailgaters become heroes in the end!"
Looking at Zhong Rui on the stage, Yi Xifeng laughed at himself and said slowly. He could not lower his voice because he was not worried about others hearing him, and he believed that even if he was heard, it would be difficult for others to understand what he meant.
Not long after, the long sword in Zhong Rui's hand brought out wisps of sword steel, directly piercing the strong man's shoulder. In the next moment, he came behind the opponent and kicked the opponent off the ring.
"The opponent fell out of the ring and cannot fight again. This time Zhong Rui of the Kingdom of Beasts wins!" The old man acting as the referee announced in a deep voice.
Regarding this battle, everyone in the audience also burst into enthusiastic applause, because as the competition in the ring continued, the cultivation level of those who participated in the competition on the stage had steadily improved.
Zhong Rui is the first among a group of young people to take the stage as a warrior in the chivalrous realm. Although the actual combat prowess of the previous ones have all reached the level of the chivalrous warrior, in terms of actual cultivation level, the young man is indeed the first. .
Yi Xifeng squinted his eyes and came to the side closest to the ring. He still remembered that if you want to challenge on the stage, you need to register with the Qingyun faction first. When it is your turn, those who participate in the competition can choose to go up and fight. , or should not fight.
He came here just to ruin Zhong Rui's marriage. He didn't expect that Zhong Rui would dare to participate in a competition to recruit a bride in an open and honest manner. This was a rare opportunity! What could be more effective than knocking your opponent down in the ring.
A young man wearing a white moon-colored Taoist robe stood at the registration desk not far from the ring and said in a deep voice: "This Zhong Rui, I want to challenge him!"
"Name, where does it come from?"
"Li Nian, Zhenwu Kingdom."
Soon, a jade plaque was handed over, with his message written on it in cinnabar paint.
"You can wait until the previous warriors finish competing." The steward in charge of the level did not look up at him, but just said a routine.
Yi Xifeng didn't frown slightly. He turned over the jade plaque and saw the word "五" written on the back. So he asked in a deep voice: "What do these five characters mean? Are there four people in front of me?"
But before he finished speaking, he felt four eyes staring at him.
With a thought in mind, Yi Xifeng did not look back to find the location of the four people, nor did he pay attention to the Qingyun faction steward who raised his head with a frown, but chose to walk back into the crowd.
Still careless! Yes, how could Zhong Rui not have a backup plan? ! His purpose was to enter the competition to recruit a bride and eliminate those competitors through layers of selection. How could they not be prepared?
While Yi Xifeng secretly blamed himself, he acted as if nothing had happened. He was basically sure that the four people photographed in front of him were the four chivalrous masters brought by Zhong Rui!
These four people are Xiu'er's elites. They are young and have profound cultivation. They are also cultivated as good seedlings in the Kingdom of Beasts. If Xiuer's father didn't love his little daughter too much, it would be difficult for ordinary people to ask them to take action.
Especially the scholar surnamed Qin. On the jade plaque in his hand, the word "four" was clearly written on it.
"Mr. Qin, are you sure he is that person?" A companion whispered to the scholar.
The scholar surnamed Qin nodded and said: "Originally, I did it with the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect that there was an unexpected gain!"
"But I just checked and found out that this person's strength has not yet reached the level of the knight, which is the peak of the Mang Realm. Can he have the strength to spy on us?" Another person questioned in a low voice.
The scholar continued: "Don't underestimate this little Taoist priest. Some of the young people on the stage today are less than twenty years old! They also don't have the cultivation level of the knight. Do you dare to say that you are absolutely sure that you can handle it?" ?”
As soon as these words came out, the other three people all shut up. They were shocked by the same shock as Yi Xifeng. As long as you are here, there will always be someone who is better than you in this arena, even if you think you are better than others in the past. Beyond your knowledge!
The scholar surnamed Qin glanced at the audience, grinned and said, "You don't think that so many people are here for that Lingxi beauty, do you?"
Yes, this martial arts contest organized by the Qingyun Sect to recruit a bride is actually, to a large extent, providing a broad platform for young warriors in the entire Luoye County to communicate.
…
"The battle on Shopkeeper Zhong's side is over. It's my turn for the next one!" A man wearing exquisite leather armor walked onto the ring holding the jade plaque with the word "一" written on it, and handed it to The old referee.
The old man took the jade token, checked it once, and said loudly: "Second round of defense, Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts, Zhang Ada!"
Hearing this name, Yi Xifeng in the audience twitched his lips slightly. This nickname was too obvious. I am afraid that only Miss Xiu'er has such a unique eponymous feeling. After all, she is the one who named "Kui Mulang" and "Wei Huohu" "A Cat and A Dog". Therefore, the name "Ada" is very similar to the Xiuer girl.
The next battle became even more joyful, so much so that the expressions of everyone in the audience were different. As the saying goes, "A layman can see the excitement, an expert can see the door."
To the outsiders who were watching the excitement, this battle was extremely fierce, and the two men changed their moves very quickly, just like flowing clouds and flowing water. In the words of those outer disciples, "This is the way warriors in the chivalrous realm should fight!"
But the battle between Zhong Rui and Zhang Ada left the strong leaders from various sects in the audience a little confused.
Although the two of them seemed to be fighting fiercely, their movements were equally smooth and smooth, and even the connection between the two's moves was flawless.
But there is only one thing. The precise timing of every move and attack between the two is simply unbelievable. It was like the two of them had planned ahead. Even if Zhong Rui's sword was too late to retreat, Zhang Ada's sword would still strike at the right time.
"This battle is quite interesting!" an old man in the audience said calmly.
…
The battle between Zhong Rui and Zhang Ada lasted for nearly a hundred rounds in total. The two fought from one end of the ring to almost the entire range, but in the end Zhong Rui won.
Yi Xifeng looked at the two people on the stage indifferently. He had an impression of Zhang Ada. He was one of the familiar faces who followed Zhong Rui back then!
He still remembered that among the four knight-level warriors, there was a young man with considerable strength, dressed as a scholar. It won't take long for the scholar to take the stage.
The second person to take the stage was not a young scholar, but a tall and thin young man. His appearance was somewhat similar to Zhong Rui. Both of them used swords. As soon as they got into stance, there was already someone in the audience The questioning martial arts masters immediately turned their attention to Zhong Rui.
In this battle, Zhong Rui still fought brilliantly: there were early contacts, mid-term headwinds, and finally a late comeback. Looking at the fight between these two people, it can be said that it has all the plot that a good fight should have.
…
After two wonderful battles, the call for Zhong Rui to win has also increased. After all, the battles he staged are very attractive, both in terms of combat and plot.
Yi Xifeng listened to the discussions of the people around him, and only then did he truly understand Zhong Rui's real intention in setting up the situation.
At first, he thought Zhong Rui simply wanted to use these four knight-level warriors to successfully send him to the next round of competition. But looking at it now, I'm afraid this can only be regarded as the smallest part of his plan.
Zhong Rui's biggest intention is not to compete in martial arts, but to recruit a bride!
He wants to build momentum for himself through these four chivalrous warriors! To make himself the focus of this competition to recruit a bride, the second part is to make his experience public, because he holds the handle on Zhong Lingxi.
That's right, it's that volume of Zhong Qianhe's notes.
Zhong Rui is confident that as long as he enters the next knockout round, he will regain the initiative in public opinion, and he will confront the Qing Yun faction head-on.
Zhong Rui, who looks heroic, has a very simple goal. He has never been the first to win or anything like that.
His most conservative goal is to make this competition a mess. As long as Zhong Lingxi doesn't marry anyone else, she will still be his wife.
The best goal is to successfully marry a beautiful girl home, but Zhong Rui knows that the possibility of such a good thing is basically zero.
But as the saying goes, it all depends on the human effort! So he didn't pause at all and challenged his third defense.
