The two brothers became more and more excited as they talked, and finally came directly to Lu Yunyou to confirm: "Yunyou, are you stronger than the average fourth-level martial artist?"
The person asking the question was Gao Li, but in fact this was not the first time he asked. Since signing up that day, he and Gundam had taken turns to find Lu Yunyou many times, and they would ask this question every time.
"It should be no problem." He didn't pay too much attention to the competition. For the past few days, Lu Yunyou had been reminiscing about the battle to attack Breakwind City. Before the war started, they had waited for more than two months, including the following. The march lasted three months, but the real breakthrough to Windy City didn't even take half a day.
They had won so easily that it seemed unreal to him every time he thought about it.
But Brother Gaoli didn't care about this. Even though Lu Yunyou had already said that he could defeat those fourth-level martial arts cultivators, the two brothers still talked in Lu Yunyou's ears about which fourth-level martial arts cultivators were good at attacking and which fourth-level martial arts cultivators were good at attacking. The cultivator was good at defense, and after a while he talked about which fourth-level martial cultivator was stronger, and helped Lu Yunyou find out almost everything they could find out.
Whenever they talked about people who might compete with Lu Yunyou, the two brothers would also give instructions to Lu Yunyou on how to fight those people. Lu Yunyou was always listening quietly. From the beginning to the end, he always wanted to know what the two brothers could do. He admired so much information, but he was not very interested in whether the information was useful or not.
In addition, he didn't know any of the people Gao Li and Gundam mentioned, so he had no interest in getting to know them. The only thing that concerned him was whether Jun Wucheng would participate. In the preliminary stage, because several battalions competed separately and could not communicate with each other, he was worried about this. Know nothing about it.
"Yunyou, don't worry. Even if you can't beat those people, we won't laugh at you." Seeing Lu Yunyou's face looking thoughtful and silent for a long time, as if he was worried about the upcoming competition, Gao Li hurriedly and thoughtfully said A word of comfort.
"Brother is right. It's just a competition. It doesn't matter if you lose. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." I really thought it was Gao Li who said this, and Gundam was busy echoing beside him.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem." Lu Yunyou didn't think it was a problem when the two brothers said he would defeat those fourth-level martial arts cultivators before, but now that the two brothers said he might lose, he did. A rebellious feeling, wanting to prove the brothers wrong about him.
After all, he also wants to shine in the ring like other participating martial arts practitioners, become the object of discussion and be respected by everyone.
"Of course it's a good thing to be confident, Yunyou, don't worry, Gundam and I will definitely go and cheer you up when the time comes," Gao Li smiled and said something else, his words full of encouragement for Lu Yunyou.
Lu Yunyou didn't pay much attention to this. After bidding farewell to Brother Gao Li and returning to his camp, Lu Yunyou practiced the Nebula Sword Technique outside the camp as usual. Unexpectedly, he just started practicing this time, and the true energy in his body suddenly Breaking through his limitations, his realm improved to a higher level, finally reaching the fourth level of martial arts.
When the feeling of realm breakthrough passed, Lu Yunyou was amazed and felt that his strength had been significantly improved. The feeling of power made him feel that his current true energy was completely comparable to that of fifth-level martial arts. Modify the ability to face confrontation.
The improvement in his realm also made him less interested in competing with fourth-level martial arts cultivators. In addition, the improvement in strength may also mean that his physical problems have been solved for him. With a burst of excitement, Lu Yunyou directly used his true energy to check the body. Abnormal Qi pulse.
Unfortunately, compared with before, the positions of those energy veins have not changed significantly. No change means that the problems in his body have not improved. Although he does not know the reason, it is enough to make it difficult for him to be too happy about his improvement in realm.
Two days later, Lu Yunyou adapted to the new realm of cultivation, and the preliminary competition officially began. It was hosted by a step camp leader. The competition location was located in the corner area of the step camp. Only participants could go there, and others had to train normally.
The rules set above directly gave up the idea of the Gaoli brothers going to watch the game. Of course, they could understand it. After all, there were many people in the camp, so even if they could line up to watch, they might not get their turn.
There were nearly 80,000 people in the entire camp, but less than 1,000 people actually participated. When Lu Yunyou arrived at the venue, the fourth-level martial arts cultivators who usually competed with him were not there. He didn't see anyone he knew around him. The feeling of isolation arose so spontaneously that he could only relieve his inner tension by looking around.
In front of them is a simple square platform, which was excavated entirely by manpower. It is about half a person tall. It is a place for contestants to compete. According to the competition rules issued by the army in advance, in the first round of the competition, a There will be hundreds of people participating in each game, and two people will play in teams. The loser will be disqualified from the game.
The rules of the preliminary round are entirely to eliminate the weak, and before coming to the venue, Lu Yunyou already knew that although fourth-level martial arts cultivators can sign up to participate in the competition, the real main force in the competition is fifth-level martial arts cultivators. According to the intention of the general above, they are just here to grow. Just some insights.
In addition, because accidents will inevitably occur during the competition, the general above also specially prepared some blunt weapons for the participants, so that even if the contestants fight very fiercely during the competition, injuries can be avoided to a large extent.
Regardless of the rules of the competition, the location of Lu Yunyou and other martial arts cultivators is strictly below the ground, surrounding the square martial arts field. Several stairs were specially dug out from the ground, extending from low to high. , which can ensure that participants and spectators can see the competition on the martial arts field during the preliminary round.
Looking around, Lu Yunyou didn't find any acquaintances around, but there were quite a few people chatting away, but he couldn't get a word in. He could only listen to those people discussing things related to the preliminary round, and the names of some powerful people were also listed in sequence. into the ear.
It wasn't until some time later, when someone noticed that he was an early stage fourth-level martial artist, that the situation changed. Some sarcastic words quickly reached his ears. Lu Yunyou clearly heard those people saying that all late-level fourth-level martial artists were just participating in the competition. Joining in the fun and participating with his ability is completely humiliating himself.
Those fifth-level martial arts cultivators directly used his cultivation as a talking point. Although they did not directly laugh at his humble strength, they said without scruples that fourth-level martial arts cultivators were not worthy of participating in the competition. I want to be angry.
It happened that the people around him used a disdainful attitude when talking about the fourth-level martial arts competition, and the consistent rhetoric made him keep a low profile. I wonder if the other fourth-level martial arts participating in the competition are like him. The situation was the same. In short, he felt very uncomfortable among a group of fifth-level martial arts cultivators.
In fact, most of the other fourth-level martial arts cultivators who came to compete were taken care of by acquaintances. Only Lu Yunyou and a handful of them came alone and had no backers, making them the subjects of some martial arts cultivators' jokes.
From this perspective, it is commendable that Lu Yunyou and the others dare to participate in the competition with the strength of the fourth level of martial arts.
I thought it would be very difficult for them to sign up for the competition, but I didn't expect that those fifth-level martial arts cultivators were very interested in talking about their participation. One moment they said that the level of fourth-level martial arts cultivators was too low to qualify for the competition, and the other moment they said that the fourth-level martial arts cultivators were basically basic. He doesn't know any martial arts and can only use some brute force. Even if he can win once, it's just a matter of luck.
Not only that, because most of the people participating in the competition were officers, Lu Yunyou could also feel that the people around him were very different from the ordinary soldiers he usually saw. Everyone gave people a domineering feeling. It seemed that the higher the military rank, the more It's arrogance.
Standing among the crowd, he, who has always been approachable, couldn't help but feel that he was out of the crowd. Moreover, he also found that those people insisted on changing their tactics at the end and said that they were not optimistic about any fourth-level martial arts cultivators who came to the competition. Some people directly It is said that the fourth-level martial arts practitioners participating in the competition are asking for trouble. When the competition begins, they will make those fourth-level martial arts practitioners understand that it is better to spend more time practicing than taking time to participate in the competition.
Before the competition even started, Lu Yunyou was criticized by those people with words and words, and the anger in his heart continued to swell. Looking at the arrogant expressions of those people, he was already thinking silently that he must teach those self-righteous people a lesson when the martial arts field was held. A fifth-level martial arts cultivator, let's take a look at how much his strength has improved after his level has been improved.
But after calming down, Lu Yunyou also thought that the reason why those contestants were so arrogant was actually because they were in the army. The brave would win when they met on a narrow road. If those people were as tepid as him on the battlefield, what would happen if they were as tepid as he was? Without outstanding strength, eight out of ten would die on the battlefield, so thinking about it, he admired those people a little.
