After defeating Lu Ting'an, Changsheng was successfully promoted to the second level and once again stood in the winner's queue in the north. The next thing to do was to wait for the remaining fourteen groups to decide the winner.
The happiest person was definitely Ni Chenyi. Changsheng won with magnanimity and glory, which was a completely crushing advantage. Especially his words when he stepped down from the stage, which showed his domineering attitude towards the others.
The daughters of the high-ranking officials on the west side didn't have any strange expressions, but the expressions of the royal relatives on the east side were full of regret. The reason was also very simple. Before the martial arts competition, the immortality was taken away by Ni Chenyi. If Ni Chenyi hadn't done enough, Early in the morning, after the martial arts test, they can ask the emperor for marriage.
Yang Kai had always had reservations before this, but his opponent in this round is Qian Fengzi from Qingyang Palace in Huashan Mountain. Not only is this person very sophisticated in martial arts, but his spiritual energy cultivation is also amazing. He is already three holes in height under the age of twenty. Cultivation, blue aura.
Yang Kai knew that he was facing a tough fight, so he didn't hesitate. In the first round, he used the Zhou Tian Divine Skill, using both palms to attack Qian Fengzi's chest.
Qian Fengzi knew that Yang Kai had deep red spiritual energy, and when he saw him attacking from the front, he secretly said that he was shaking the tree, and relying on his profound cultivation, he directly gathered Qi into his palms and exhaled to meet him.
Qian Fengzi thought he had a chance to win, but who would have thought to face off against Yang Kai only to find that the spiritual energy in his body was pouring out. This strange situation made Qian Fengzi instantly feel like a dead soul. He had the intention to withdraw, but it was too late. It was too late, both palms had been firmly absorbed by Yang Kai, and the spiritual energy was exhausted after a while.
Seeing that the time has come, Yang Kai seizes the enemy's troops and counterattacks the enemy city. He spits out his spiritual energy and easily knocks Qian Fengzi off the ring.
Although each game lasted a long time, after all, there were only a few games, and the winner was determined within three seconds, and all fifteen top players were produced.
As usual, the examiner announced the list of Erjia and the sect they belonged to, and the eunuch who delivered the order read out the imperial edict, conferring everyone the title of Erjia Martial Arts Scholar and conferring the rank of fifth-grade military attache.
Dressed in red and colorful, they rode back on horseback. The number of guards accompanying them doubled again today, and each person was escorted by eight guards.
The words Chang Sheng said when he stepped down were certainly intended to be a warning and deterrence, but after four days of continuous fighting, he was indeed exhausted physically and mentally, so he did not accept Ni Chenyi's invitation to hold a banquet to celebrate his victory and returned with Yang Kai.
Datou was injured and could not support himself, so he had to go back early. The two of them went to see Datou first, and then returned to their respective residences.
Returning to the inn, I lay on the bed without eating supper and slept until the middle of the night.
Chang'an is no different from other cities. There are still many pedestrians on the streets at midnight. Seeing that the Hu couple selling meat buns and Hu Geng on the street outside have not yet confiscated their stall, Chang Sheng went downstairs to buy something to eat, but he didn't Instead of eating on the roadside, he returned to the inn and went to the backyard stable. As long as time allowed, he would take time to accompany Mr. Hei every day.
After supper, Chang Sheng did not return to his room. He sat in the stable until five o'clock. He was busy every day, but the black master was locked in the stable all day long. For the owner, the mount was only a small part of his life. , but for mounts, the owner is everything in their lives.
In the past few days, Yang Kai and the two came to look for him. It was rare to get up early today, so Chang Sheng went to look for Yang Kai and Da Tou. He knew that Yang Kai woke up early, so he went to find Yang Kai first. After Yang Kai had eaten breakfast, the two We went to see Datou together again.
Datou's injury has improved, and he wanted to go to the square with the two of them to watch the game, but Changsheng stopped him and told him to rest in peace and come to see him after the game.
There were far fewer people watching the competition today than in the past few days. There were no more Miss Qianjin watching the competition on the east and west sides of the square. There was only one arena left in the arena, and the area of the arena was doubled.
The rules of today's competition are rounds of drawing lots. Fifteen people draw lots to determine the order. Then No. 1 draws lots to select an opponent. If No. 1 wins, continue to draw lots and select another opponent. If he still wins, he will win. Continue to draw lots until you defeat all opponents or are defeated by others midway.
At this point, the number of winning streaks is recorded, and the number 1 bamboo stick will still remain in the lot, and then the number 2 lottery will be drawn. If the streak is won, the drawing will continue. If the streak is lost, it will be over.
At the end of the day, the winner with the most consecutive wins was Wu No. 1, followed by second place, and third overall.
The rules of this martial arts contest were also set by the emperor himself. They were strict and fair, but also cruel, because everyone needed to fight continuously, which tested not only martial arts skills, but also cultivation and endurance.
With such a rule, it is difficult to say which lottery is better, because even if you draw number 15, you may be drawn by number 1 and be the first to take the stage.
The rules were announced and the drawing of lots began.
Chang Sheng and Yang Kai came early today, Chang Sheng was ranked first and was the first to draw.
Everyone looked at Chang Sheng nervously. When he took the bamboo stick out of the bamboo stick, everyone saw the number on the bamboo stick clearly, number one.
At this moment, everyone except Yang Kai had the same expression, frowning and shaking his head, with a bitter look on his face.
Yang Kai drew the second number, number seven.
After everyone had finished drawing, it was Changsheng's turn to take the stage.
Before taking the stage, Changsheng turned around to face the crowd, bowed to them, and then stepped onto the stage.
The invigilator changed a pair of lottery tubes and a pair of bamboo sticks, and went on stage with Changsheng. When Changsheng pulled out one of the bamboo sticks, the invigilator reached out to take it, compared the number, and called people to the stage, "No. 5, Shaolin Temple Shi Xuantong."
"Amitabha, the poor monk's skills are not as good as those of others, so he is willing to be inferior."
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar outside the stadium. Shaolin Temple is the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism and has seventy-two unique skills, but it actually gave up without a fight.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, thank you Master Xuantong." Changsheng bowed his head and thanked him.
Then he drew again, "No. 2, Beggar Clan Huang Daji."
"Priest Sansheng's Hunyuan Divine Skill is unrivaled in the world. Huang surrenders."
As soon as these words came out, there was another exclamation. Before this, no one knew what kind of martial arts Changsheng used. When Huang Daji shouted like this, everyone knew that he practiced Hunyuan Divine Kung Fu, and there were many knowledgeable people outside the field. People, just think that the Hunyuan Divine Art is not from the Yuqing Sect.
"Concession." Changsheng said coldly. He naturally knew Huang Daji's sinister intentions, but the other party had already admitted defeat. He could not drag the other party up and beat him up again.
Changsheng drew again, and the invigilator read again, "On the 15th, Maoshan Sect's Three Lucky Sons."
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, I will admit defeat."
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, thank you so much, Brother Sanfu." Changsheng bowed his head and thanked him.
"On the 12th, the Xuanwu Sect Turtle has a thousand years of life."
"Admit defeat."
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, I accept the offer."
In fact, people's mentality is similar. They are not afraid of being unlucky, but they are afraid that only they will be unlucky. If someone is with them to be unlucky, it seems that they will not be so unlucky.
And people are not afraid of being embarrassed, they are afraid that only they will be embarrassed. Seeing a group of people humiliating themselves, it seems that it is not so embarrassing to take the initiative to admit defeat.
Driven by this mentality, Yao Wenzhong from Wushuang City, Chong Wanqing from Liangyi Mountain, Xuankong from Prajna Temple, Zhang Yifeng from Luoxia Mountain, Ouyang Ming from Feiying Hall and others all accepted their defeat, and Yang Kai naturally Also among them.
In fact, although everyone took the initiative to admit defeat, they were not willing to do so because the price of challenging the immortal was too high. If they failed to defeat him, they would be embarrassed and severely injured and disabled by him. '
After everyone in the audience gave up, the invigilator announced the result loudly, Chang Sheng had won fourteen consecutive games.
This result was also expected by Chang Sheng, who bowed to everyone and then slowly stepped down.
Just when the invigilator put the bamboo stick back into the tube, Yao Wenzhong from Wushuang City suddenly spoke up, saying that the bamboo stick No. 1 should not be put back into the tube. If someone wins, the winning streak will be terminated. Wouldn't it be unfair to lose?
As soon as this person spoke up, others echoed his words one after another, catching the three examiners off guard.
But the rules were set by the emperor, and they could not change them without authorization. After a discussion, they came up with a compromise. The number one bamboo stick was still placed in the tube. As long as Changsheng agreed, the number one bamboo stick could be regarded as a consecutive draw. win.
Hearing the examiner's words, everyone looked at Changsheng.
Changsheng didn't express his position immediately. Huang Daji from the Beggar Clan didn't like it very much. If he nodded in agreement, Huang Daji might also take advantage.
However, after a brief pause, Changsheng still spoke out to express his agreement. Everyone had already admitted defeat in public. If he continued to argue, it would appear that he was not generous enough. The worst result would be that the second person with fourteen consecutive victories would appear. Just one more fight.
Seeing that Chang Sheng agreed, everyone was overjoyed. Number 2 took the stage and the competition began.
When the No. 1 pick becomes a luxury, the No. 2 pick and No. 3 pick become the objects of frantic competition for everyone.
Changsheng naturally hopes that Yang Kai can be among the top players, but there are still strong players among the strong. After Yang Kai won three games in a row, he encountered Shaolin Temple's Shi Xuantong and suffered a bitter defeat.
At midnight in the afternoon, the competition was completely over. Changsheng won the first place in the first class with fourteen consecutive victories, Shi Xuantong from Shaolin Temple won the second place in the first class with nine consecutive wins, and Yao Wenzhong from Wushuang City won the third place in the first class with seven consecutive wins. .
When the dust settled and the child test was completely over, the eunuch announced that the top pick would be awarded the rank of fourth-rank military attache, and the top pick would be awarded the rank of third-rank military attache.
According to the rules of the past, after the competition, the top three Jinshi must go to the palace to meet the saint, express their gratitude and receive the ministry at the same time. The time is scheduled for the fifth watch tomorrow...
