It is obvious that the Star Army is very enthusiastic about participating in the martial arts competition. Of course, the reason is also related to the limited number of places in the end. According to the wishes of the generals, they only selected 300 people from the hundreds of thousands of troops, including six Compared with first-level martial arts cultivators and fifth-level martial arts cultivators, fifth-level martial arts cultivators need to perform better to be selected by them.
The martial arts test tests the strength of force, while the literary test tests talent. For many people, the literary test is actually more difficult than the martial arts test, because it tests their understanding of military affairs and their ability to handle military matters. In short, it is necessary to To truly obtain the final qualification, each participant needs to learn some tactics of war.
Due to the existence of Wenbi, many star soldiers would take the time to recite the military law books issued by them every time they had free time, and a lot of information in them related to the exam content.
Pure cultivation is a hobby for many people, but reading is a kind of torture for many people. Therefore, some people who know that they are not good at learning cultural knowledge simply choose to specialize in martial arts and put all their bets on martial arts competitions. After all, as long as you perform well in the martial arts competition, you may still be selected.
According to the current total number of people in the Star Army, there are six to seven thousand people eligible to participate in the competition. In half a month, there may be a certain increase in the number.
As the martial arts tournament is about to be held, the atmosphere in the military has become more and more lively. In addition to daily training time, many star troops have been talking about the martial arts tournament all day long. Even those who are not qualified to participate have shown extremely good performance. Great interest, this is a direct manifestation of the martial arts of the people in the Central Region.
But after returning to Broken Wind City, Lu Yunyou, who had been equally interested in the martial arts competition, had concerns and gradually gave up his decision to participate. First, he still wanted to leave the army as soon as possible, so he did not want to have much to do with the army. ; Secondly, he has exposed his body skills many times before. After hearing Fang Qing and others discuss that his body skills must be higher than ordinary high-level skills many times, in view of the repeated encounters in the Shigu Mountains , he no longer wants to expose his skills.
To put it simply, he just wants to learn a superior martial arts now, but he does not want to be the successor of those generals. Unlike him, Fang Qing and other people from wealthy backgrounds are all extremely active in the martial arts competition, and they seem to be I want to take advantage of this martial arts tournament to show off my talents.
For Fang Qing and others, the competition is indeed an opportunity for them to showcase their talents. I don’t know if Fang Qing and others can get the final spot, but judging from the current situation of their intensified training, Lu Yunyou feels that they are working very hard.
It is worth mentioning that since arriving in Broken Wind City, Lu Yunyou and Fang Qing have been invited to live in the former palace of Feng Kingdom. Now the palace is empty. If only members of the royal family live there, then almost everywhere else is. It was empty, so when Lan Jing obtained the consent of some elders, he took the initiative to invite Lu Yunyou and others to live in the palace, which could increase the popularity of the palace and of course serve as a guard.
The accommodation assigned to Lu Yunyou was simply more spacious than the several guest rooms in an ordinary inn put together. The interior was extremely luxurious, and even living in it made people feel superior. Lu Yunyou had never lived in such a luxurious place. Even the main hall of their Lu family couldn't compare to it. When he first moved here, he was still not used to it. Even with the advantage of having a private practice space, it still couldn't dispel the awkward feeling in his heart, as if he was more suitable. Living in a shabby camp.
Fortunately, when he tried to treat this place as just a place to live, the awkward feeling finally alleviated, and now he can still get used to living here. In addition, living in the palace has another advantage. He doesn't have to worry about food and drink at all, and he can enjoy it all day long. There are dedicated people to serve you.
For Bai Ye and others, it is a great honor to live in the palace, and the palace is large enough. They can get together to compete in martial arts or practice alone. As those who will participate in the competition, The huge palace is the best place for them to practice.
Usually there are some generals who come to the palace, and sometimes they can teach them some tricks. It is undoubtedly a kind of preferential treatment for a few people. Under the guidance of those generals, their strength improves faster than ordinary people.
However, because they are too close to Lu Yunyou, Bai Ye and the others often stay with Lu Yunyou. Although Lu Yunyou's level is not high, each of them can ask Lu Yunyou for advice in terms of body skills. Of course, Lu Yunyou only teaches them some Experience does not teach them the eight desolate steps.
On the second day after moving into the palace, Lu Yunyou accepted another disciple, Tang Bao. After knowing how powerful Lu Yunyou's movement skills were, Tang Bao wanted to become Lu Yunyou's disciple. Even Ni Youbin, who really wanted to accept him as his disciple, was deceived. He refused.
Although Tangbao still hasn't learned any martial arts, he has a big advantage over Fang Qing, that is, he is very young and meets the basic requirements for learning kung fu, so he accepted Tangbao. After Bao became his disciple, Lu Yunyou took some time every day to guide Fang Qing and Tang Bao in learning body movements.
Nothing major happened during the few days he lived in the palace. The only thing worth mentioning was that Fang Qing's realm broke through to the sixth level of the martial arts realm just after moving to the palace, which became an enviable thing.
In fact, after coming out of the Shigu Mountains, Lu Yunyou and the others have made some progress more or less. Fang Qing's progress is not great. Apart from this matter, there is no other good news. Lu Yunyou originally planned to come back. Meet the brothers Gao Li and Gundam. However, the two brothers have already volunteered to support the Qing Dynasty. I don’t know when they can meet again.
Ling Yun stayed in another military camp. He couldn't go to Ling Yun for the time being. In addition, living in the palace was actually more restrictive than living in the military camp. He couldn't go anywhere.
After practicing every day, his strength not only made no progress, but also regressed. No matter how much he practiced alone, he could not continuously perform the Five Steps and Eight Desolations, and could only use the Four Steps and Eight Desolations in conjunction with the Five Steps and Eight Desolations.
I don't know if his physical skills haven't reached that level yet, but every time he tries to perform Five Steps and Eight Desolations in a row, there will be a feeling of blocked qi and blood flow in his body, as if he has returned to a long time ago. Like when his cultivation stagnated.
Forcing him to practice body movements would only bring him pain, and the abnormality in his body gave Lu Yunyou a bad feeling. Unfortunately, no one could understand his problem, and he didn't take the initiative to ask for help, as if he had something on his mind. I didn't want to say that to others, so I kept it to myself.
After thinking about it for several days, his idea of participating in the competition kept wavering, and he still had no intention to sign up. Even though his level had reached the standard to participate in the competition, he seemed to become very confused after returning to Powind City.
However, in the past few days, Fang Qing and others would invite him to participate in martial arts competitions from time to time, and even proposed that Lu Yunyou directly participate in the competition between sixth-level martial arts cultivators, so there is no need to waste time with those fifth-level martial arts cultivators.
It seemed that Lu Yunyou's non-participation in the competition was a loss to them. Therefore, after knowing that Lu Yunyou had not signed up, those people wanted to know the reason, but they were prevaricated by Lu Yunyou every time.
Of course, Lu Yunyou understood that Fang Qing and the others had the ability to prevent him from competing with those fifth-level martial arts practitioners, and directly compete with those at the sixth-level martial arts realm, but he himself did not want to participate in the competition, so no matter what others said, he would refuse every time those people.
It is precisely because of his stubbornness that even though he has always been very popular with Fang Qing and others, he still feels more and more isolated. I don't know whether it is his own problem or caused by his current situation. Since the day of holding the martial arts competition is getting closer and closer, The closer he got, the more he felt that his life in the palace was not good.
Whenever he was alone, he would always have many troubling questions in his mind. He would always think of Lin Ruoxi, Lu Qingyu and others. The situation of those people was an unsolvable problem for him, but he also He was so disturbed by it that when he later practiced, he would often be distracted by thinking of those things.
After having mental problems, Lu Yunyou's mood became more and more depressed, but no matter what mental state he was in, Fang Qing and others would come to him every day to communicate normally.
Sometimes Fang Qing and the others would invite some generals who were good at kung fu. Those generals were moved to become disciples after hearing Lu Yunyou's deeds, and each of them told Lu Yunyou a lot about their kung fu training experiences.
The arrival of those generals provided Lu Yunyou with the information that his confidentiality work in body skills was far from enough. Thinking about Hong Ying's previous instructions to him to use body skills as little as possible, Lu Yunyou felt more and more that he had committed many crimes recently. I made a mistake, and the worries in my heart increased a lot.
As he became more aware of the seriousness of the problem, he became more determined not to participate in the martial arts competition. However, what was surprising was that many generals in the army already knew about his deeds. After learning that Lu Yunyou was unwilling to participate in the competition, Lan Jing specially gave him As a result, Lu Yunyou was given an unspecified quota. As a result, regardless of whether Lu Yunyou participated in the martial arts competition, he would eventually be eligible to receive key training from above together with other outstanding people, and even be directly promoted to an official position.
After learning the news, Lu Yunyou was still not happy. In the blink of an eye, the day before the martial arts competition started, everyone who had been practicing hard for many days gathered together again. At Lan Rou's suggestion, everyone planned to go outside the palace to have fun. Take a walk to relax.
