Situations like this have happened every year and are not unusual.
What’s strange is that nine of this year’s top ten are challenging Shen You!
Such strange things made all the princes and generals watching the battle stroke their beards and laugh.
Only Commander Jin Yiwei made Xue Lin unable to laugh.
Commander Xue is thirty-three this year, in his prime, and is commanding the Imperial Guard. Although he is only a third-grade general, he is highly regarded by Emperor Long'an. The generals in the court have to bow politely to Commander Xue. Hand over.
Commander Xue has three sons, the youngest son Xue Ting has the most outstanding talent in martial arts. He also has the highest expectations for Xue Ting.
I originally thought that Xue Ting would be able to win the first prize in this competition, just like myself back then. I never thought that Shen You would appear halfway through, and Xue Ting would be left in the dark!
Commander Xue's eyes were as bright as lightning, and he could naturally tell that Xue Ting was no match for Shen You. At this time, Xue Ting's blood was boiling and he jumped out, wouldn't he be a stepping stone for Shen You?
Unfortunately, he couldn't perform martial arts in public, and it was inconvenient to stop him. Otherwise, he would have slapped Xue Ting to wake up completely.
Governor He Zhenfu's mood is much better.
Anyway, my son is in the top ten, so he doesn't have to worry about his future. It's also good to learn a lesson today: "There is a world outside the sky, and there are people outside the world."
Lei Tongzhi thought so too.
Lei Tongzhi stood on the martial arts stage, glanced at his nephew Lei Xiaodao with a generous face, and said solemnly: "All nine of you are going to challenge Shen You. Lei Xiaodao, you go first!"
Lei Xiaodao raised his thick eyebrows and responded loudly.
The other teenagers retreated to the audience.
Lei Xiaodao strode in front of the mountain, shaking his left and right hands. The two knives in his hands flashed with cold light at the same time, and his eyes were fierce. Without saying a word, he raised the knife with his right hand and stabbed.
Shen You's eyes flashed slightly and his body turned sideways. Lei Xiaodao raised the knife in his left hand and struck again.
Those who can make it into the top ten are indeed not ordinary people. Lei Xiaodao shot out both swords, each one faster than the other, like a violent storm, airtight.
However, Shen You managed to find a gap under these violent and swift swords, swimming around dexterously like a fish.
One is all-out offensive, the other is blindly defensive.
But no one would think that the one who attacked had the upper hand. On the contrary, Shen You, who had narrowly avoided the attack every time, had the absolute upper hand.
Lei Xiaodao couldn't attack for a long time, he was impatient, and attacking with all his strength was very draining of energy, and his face became redder and redder. He couldn't help but yelled: "Shen You, don't hide if you have the ability, and fight me openly..."
Before he finished speaking, a sharp long knife came to his chest silently.
Lei Xiaodao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly retreated to dodge. The second knife struck silently in front of his eyes, followed by the third and fourth knife, each one extremely cunning.
Lei Xiaodao was frightened and hurriedly blocked with his two swords. However, without warning, his right leg was unexpectedly kicked. His body suddenly became unstable and he staggered back.
The sharp long knife was as fast as lightning. Amid everyone's exclamations, it stopped three inches in front of the tip of Lei Xiaodao's nose.
A drop of cold sweat slipped from Lei Xiaodao's forehead. He raised his eyes and met the eyes of Shen You who had a cold gaze.
A chill suddenly ran down my back.
"I admit defeat!" Lei Xiaodao threw his two knives and admitted defeat angrily.
Shen You moved his right wrist slightly and retracted the long knife.
There were thunderous cheers from the audience.
"Shen You, Shen You, no one can beat you! I will win the first place today!" Shen Jia stood up again, raised his arms and shouted.
This time, no one thought Shen Jia was arrogant.
The boy with the pockmarked face couldn't help but stand up and shouted together with Shen Jia. Shen Jia turned around and grinned at the pockmarked boy.
The pockmarked boy also grinned and gave Shen Jia a high-five.
His Royal Highness King Yan, who was watching the battle in front of the martial arts stage, suddenly had a bright light in his eyes.
Lei Tongzhi's eyes passed over the ugly Xue Ting below the stage, and landed on He Ziyang's face: "He Ziyang, come on stage."
He Ziyang jumped onto the martial arts stage with the Fang Tianji in his hand.
Shen You's superb swordsmanship is frightening. He Ziyang's skill is on par with Lei Xiaodao, and he knows full well that he is no match for Shen You, so he is much more cautious.
He Ziyang didn't lose until he got rid of hundreds of moves. Although he lost, it was not an ugly defeat.
Lei Tongzhi ignored Xue Ting intentionally or unintentionally and called someone else's name. Therefore, Xue Ting had enough time to carefully observe Shen You's sword skills and take the opportunity to come up with a strategy to deal with the enemy.
Shen You competed one after another, which consumed a lot of energy.
However, Xue Ting was able to regain his physical strength and wait for work.
Commander Xue obviously understood this "painstaking effort" from Lei Tongzhi, and his expression softened a lot.
Shen Mao secretly scolded Lei Tongzhi for this old fox, but there was nothing he could do.
…
An hour later.
The sun sets in the west, and the red glow fills the sky.
The eighth boy who challenged also failed and stepped down.
Under the martial arts stage, the shouts of good words shook the sky!
Shen You's military uniform was soaked with sweat, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. His right hand holding the long sword was trembling slightly. He competed eight times in a row, and each one was strong in skill and had his own strengths.
He is made of steel and feels tired now.
However, the real rival is in the last scene.
Shen You took advantage of this moment to calm down and adjust his breathing.
Mr. Xue San, who had rested for more than an hour, had recovered most of his physical strength and went up to the martial arts stage with his long sword in hand. Xue Ting certainly had the absolute upper hand when he started taking action now.
Someone in the audience booed during the martial arts performance.
Then, the boos came one after another, and the sound became loud.
Such a challenge is no different from a wheel battle. The dignified Mr. Xue, using such tricks, will be disgraceful even if he wins!
Xue Ting was arrogant and his face turned red after being booed. He gritted his teeth and was about to take action.
"stop!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Shen You frowned slightly and looked over.
Then he saw the heroic and heroic His Highness the King of Yan standing up and saying, "Let's end the competition here today!"
Lei Tongzhi was startled and quickly looked at Commander Xue.
Before Commander Xue had time to react, His Highness the King of Qin actually stood up and said with a smile: "I have really opened my eyes today. There are many talented people in the Jinyi Guards. Shen Silang and Xue Sanlang were so good at the moment that they were equal to each other. There is really no need to compete anymore. .Let them tie for first place."
Teenagers: "..."
Why!
Today's number one is obviously Shen You!
Xue Ting is not worthy of being tied for first place with Shen You, okay?!
However, His Highness King Yan and His Highness King Qin both opened their mouths. This last scene was obviously incomparable.
The King of Yan was sympathetic to his talents and did not want Shen You to become exhausted or injured.
However, the King of Qin deliberately showed his favor to Commander Xue and gave Xue Ting dignity.
Lei Tongzhi and Commander Xue exchanged a look, and quickly said: "I will obey the orders of your two highnesses. Today's competition ends here..."
