Thinking about it carefully, 2017 was indeed a long and extraordinary year. A lot of things happened in this year, and I also met a lot of people. I experienced all the joys, sorrows, joys, ups and downs.
"Unknowingly, a year has passed." After being stunned for a moment in the memory, I couldn't help but sigh.
Time is such a magical thing. When you feel that the days are like years, when you think back to the past, the scenes of the past are as if they are still in your mind, making you remember them fresh.
I have this feeling at this moment. I can clearly remember the voices, faces, and smiles of my classmates in junior high school, as if it was just yesterday, but I also feel like I haven’t seen them for several years.
Sometimes it feels like I have had a long dream. When I wake up, I am still sitting in that familiar classroom, surrounded by classmates who I have been with day and night.
Unfortunately, this is not a dream after all, and the peaceful days no longer exist. As a lucky person who survived, I still have to face the cruelty of reality and move forward.
"Ye Yan, what are you thinking about? Why did you run into the yard alone?" Jiang Chen walked up to me at some point and said with a strange expression.
"Ah?" Hearing the sudden voice beside me, I came back from my memories. Seeing that the person coming was Jiang Chen, I couldn't help but smile: "Isn't there a martial arts competition tomorrow? I'm a little excited and can't sleep.
"
"Haha, I'm very excited too. I'm also looking forward to what ranking I can get in the martial arts competition." Jiang Chen laughed, paused, and persuaded: "However, it's getting late, we have to keep it up tomorrow.
A good mental state, so it’s better to go to bed early.”
"Yes, I understand." I nodded, picked up the stool and walked into the room. Maybe because of the banquet just now and the martial arts competition tomorrow, everyone was quite excited and they were not asleep at this point.
Zhang Xinyu, who had drunk too much, was talking to the mirror, Lin Wei and Ye Yuyou were discussing with He Li about tomorrow's martial arts competition, and Xie Zhen had fallen on the sofa and started snoring thunderously. He was the only one who slept the most.
quick.
Looking at this lively daily life, I smiled. Although we have experienced countless hardships and there is still an unknown in front of us, at least...
At this moment, I am very warm and happy.
It's not that bad actually, is it? We have passed through the dark days hand in hand, and in the new year, a bright future greets us.
Thinking of this, I smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, go to bed early!"
In order to protect this hard-won warmth, I must become stronger, strong enough to protect the tranquility of this moment. For this reason, I must achieve a good result in this competition!
The night that symbolized bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, passed by in a hurry under my eagerness to fight.
When the morning light of the new year tore apart the winter night of the old year, the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau suddenly burst out with amazing vitality, and powerful auras escaped from every corner of the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau.
While the Spirit Adjustment Bureau was gradually boiling over, I also opened my eyes after resting all night.
Feeling the tyrannical aura spreading everywhere, a look of anticipation appeared on my face. This was my first time in such a formal competition.
"I'm really looking forward to it..." A smile appeared at the corner of my mouth. Although my opponents were all the most outstanding people in Yang Province, I also had sufficient confidence in my own strength. The burning desire to fight at the moment was also
It surges up in my chest!
"I, Ye Yan, will decide on the top ten!"
...
The martial arts competition is the highest standard, highest honor, and highest visibility event in the entire Yang Province, and this event that countless members of the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau have been looking forward to officially begins today!
This event attracted almost all the prominent figures in Yang Province. In addition to members of the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau, this event also attracted a large number of big shots from the political, military, and cultivation circles. One can imagine the influence of the tournament.
How big it is.
For the participating members, the martial arts competition is also an excellent opportunity to show off their own strength. In previous martial arts competitions, countless people who are usually unknown have taken this opportunity to show off their skills and become a dark horse, attracting everyone's attention.
Even if you don't have the ability to compete for the top rankings, you can still show your face in front of tens of thousands of viewers and increase your reputation.
If you perform well or are lucky enough to be favored by a certain big boss, it will be like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate and skyrocketing to 90,000 miles.
In fact, over the years, there have been many examples of grassroots people from ordinary families seizing opportunities and successfully counterattacking.
Even those members who are not qualified to participate, most of them are full of expectations for this martial arts tournament. After all, for such a high-level competition, even simply enjoying the visual feast is a sure profit.
Because of this, the competition ground is extremely popular at this time. Such a large competition ground can be said to be crowded with people and extremely lively.
"After all, it is the biggest event of the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau. It is really lively."
I couldn't help but sigh, before I even entered, I could already feel how lively the competition venue was.
"Fortunately, we are contestants. Otherwise, it would have been a lot of trouble to squeeze in." Jiang Chen said to us, "Let's go directly to the lounge."
"It's done."
There is a player passage in the lounge. We contestants can go through the player passage and lead directly to the audience seats.
We bypassed the huge crowd of spectators and walked into the lounge. I have to say that the sound insulation effect of the lounge is very good, and the noise outside is almost inaudible.
Sun Zimo was busy in the lounge. When he saw us coming, he smiled and said: "Here you go, sign in first, and then come with me. I have reserved a good seat for you, and the view is great!"
After several of us contestants signed in the registration book, we followed Sun Zimo to a contestant passage. After walking out, we appeared at the top of the auditorium. Looking down from here, we could see the entire competition field.
fundus.
Standing here, I really felt the heat of the competition. What I saw was the dark crowd. The auditorium, which used to be empty, was now filled with people. If the competition venue had not been built large enough, the audience would probably be filled with people.
Can squeeze directly into the ring!
"How is it? This location is not bad." Sun Zimo said with a smile.
"It's pretty good." I responded with a smile. Looking down from here, I could say that I had a panoramic view.
"You just stay here. I'll be back in a while, so I'll go down and get busy. Today is really busy. The Spirit Adjustment Bureau is a little short of manpower. Even a two-star expert like me has been asked to do hard labor.
.." Sun Zimo's voice gradually faded away, and there seemed to be some resentment in his voice.
Withdrawing my eyes from Sun Zimo's retreating figure, I looked down at the lively venue, the fiery color in my eyes became even more intense. This conference can almost be said to be a competition between the most outstanding cultivators below the second star level in Yang Province.
, I really want to know what level I belong to among this group of people.
"I think this must be tens of thousands of people, tsk tsk, showing up in front of tens of thousands of people, it's exciting just thinking about it." Xie Zhen said excitedly. It was also his first time to participate in a martial arts competition, so his mood at this time must be the same as mine.
Full of fighting spirit and fighting spirit.
"I hope we don't meet on the field at the beginning." Jiang Chen looked at the few of us and said with a wry smile.
"It shouldn't be that unlucky." I smiled and said, "But if it is really that unlucky, I hope everyone won't hold back."
"That's natural." Everyone said seriously. Everyone understood that giving one's best effort is the greatest respect for one's opponents, especially between friends.
Ye Yuyou blinked his eyes and said in a dangerous tone: "If we meet, then I will settle all the blame for bullying me when I was a child! Let's settle it in a fair and honest manner!"
"Hey, hey, hey, apart from stealing your snacks, grabbing your toys, and pinching your cheeks, I don't seem to have done anything to bully you..." I said innocently.
"Look for a fight!"
"Hahaha."
After fighting for a while, it finally ended with me giving in. There was nothing I could do, my sister was too strong now, so I had to give in when I needed to. It would be better to take a step back, or else this girl would bite me again.
"A good man doesn't fight with women." I said with a guilty conscience.
"Hey, Ye Yan, the relationship between you brother and sister is still as good as ever. It's really enviable."
At this time, a hearty voice sounded from behind us. Upon hearing this, we immediately turned our gazes and saw Sun Wei walking over with a smile on his face.
Behind him, followed by Sun Chengqian and a group of Sun family descendants, there were more than a dozen people. After all, it was a big family, and the number of contestants alone could break double digits.
"You are in good spirits. How are you? Are you sure you will be in the top three this time?" After seeing Sun Wei, I couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"The top three, it's easier said than done, it's not a fuel-saving lamp." Sun Wei smiled bitterly and said: "I'll do my best. I just hope that we can avoid meeting on the field. That would be too uncomfortable."
"Yes." I nodded with deep understanding.
After talking with everyone in the Sun family for a while, my eyes swept across the auditorium. When I glanced at the high platform opposite, my eyes paused slightly. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement. The Zhou family and Zhao
The person at home happens to be opposite us.
As if he noticed my gaze, Zhou Da also raised his head and looked at me. When he saw me, he sneered, and then he made a gesture of wiping his neck. The meaning was self-evident.
Seeing this, I smiled faintly, raised my index finger and shook it at him, mouthing "You can't do that". I guess he understood what I meant, because his face immediately turned ugly.
.
After looking away from the other side, I looked at the leadership table. At this time, there were many people sitting on the leadership table. Except for a few familiar senior leaders of the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau, the rest were some people I didn't know.
, I guess they should all be big shots from all walks of life in Yang Province.
"People are almost here, I guess the conference is about to start." I thought to myself. At this time, the competition ground was already full of people, and the time was almost up.
Sure enough, as I expected, soon, as a majestic voice sounded, the originally noisy competition ground suddenly became quiet.
"Please keep quiet!"
"I announce that the 47th Martial Arts Competition of Yangzhou Lingtiao Branch has officially begun!"
