On this day, all the major families in the city focused their attention on the martial arts arena.
In itself, the recruitment and selection of Beiwu Academy is not a big deal, but Cao Su's family showed up, which surprised many people.
And if you can climb the big tree of general, isn't it much better than some recruitment and selection?
Therefore, the eyes of the major families swept across the Cao family and began to use their brains.
From the outside, the Cao family, apart from the two elders, currently has five daughters.
Among them, Liu Luan is Cao Su's sister-in-law. She is also a third party and can be ignored.
The remaining girls are all Cao Su's wives and concubines, and they should all be people he can interact with and get close to.
The styles of these women are all different, but they are all charming and gorgeous, attracting everyone's attention.
Princess Anyang is sitting over there, wearing a plain long dress that highlights her tall figure. She has a cold expression and a noble temperament, and looks like she should not be approached by strangers.
Yiqi is a standard virtuous person. In the eyes of the outside world, she is also a strong contender for the wife of Cao Su's backyard.
Yuan Ji has changed from a girl to a young woman, and her prairie style has not faded, adding a rare vitality.
Li Nanyan is like a ripe peach, no matter how loose the clothes are on her body, it still has a bit more charm.
Anyang is not pregnant because of her martial arts practice, while Li Nanyan is not pregnant because of his physical condition.
The family has grown in number, is full of vitality, and has become more prosperous.
The entire family became the focus of the audience. Cao Su sat calmly on the high seat. When he looked around, he saw awe-inspiring faces. They all lowered their eyes, not daring to look at him.
"There are three rounds of assessments in the selection, namely strength assessment, martial arts assessment and actual combat assessment."
"The preliminary strength assessment has been completed, and the martial arts assessment has also been completed one by one before this martial arts battle, so this is the most direct actual combat assessment."
"To put it simply, it is a one-on-one duel. There are a total of one hundred and fifty-six duels. Among them, one lucky candidate will get a bye this round."
"In each round, there is only one qualifying spot. There are four rounds in total, which is enough to decide on twenty spots."
Cao Su personally set up the selection system and knew the rules very clearly, so he explained them to several wives and concubines.
Anyang was somewhat disdainful of this "small scene". She was the coldest among the people, with a face as cold as the moon. She sat on a high place, overlooking the martial arts field, just like she was overlooking all living beings.
Liu Yiqi was very curious. She was a businessman and had been in charge of a large family for many years, but she had never participated in such an activity.
Although Wu Fu is closely related to the life of the past, he is still somewhat far away from ordinary merchants and people.
"Do you have any students that you are interested in?"
Although Liu Yiqi didn't understand the deep meaning of this Beiwu Academy, she knew that Cao Su valued this academy very much.
Cao Su doesn't have any students he pays special attention to. This generation of new students has been a long time since he debuted. There is a generation gap every three years, and he doesn't know how many generations have passed.
"Thousands of eyes are staring at Wu Yan. From my standpoint, I naturally hope that more young talents can emerge."
Cao Su used the word "risk", which shows that deep down in his heart, he still hopes to see the dark horse.
Liu Yiqi didn't guess what Cao Su meant, but she could follow Cao Su's tone.
She smiled and said: "The Nu family has heard from people that there are many young people who are casual cultivators who have also come to Jizhou Prefecture. These casual cultivators are not as rigid as those big sects, so they may have some unexpected surprises.
"
"oh?"
Cao Su didn't pay much attention to the "special reports" from the outside world, and mainly focused on controlling the overall situation.
Liu Yiqi often comes into contact with the outside world. As she is in charge of the Cao family's back yard, she can know a lot of gossip: "For example, a northern loose cultivator who uses '槊' came here. I heard that he was a disciple who defected from Moke Jianzhuang in the past.
.”
"Moko Sword Village?"
Cao Su was slightly startled, the name of this sect seemed familiar.
He thought for a while and remembered the origin of this sect. It was also a main sect in the Youbei League back then, right? Because of its remote location, Cao Su didn't pay much attention to this sect later on.
At that time, the sect's sect's lord's younger brother, the deputy lord Xitonghe, was so domineering that he regarded Younan Wulin as a nobody.
Later, after being given a small lesson by Cao Su, he returned to the outside of Youbei in despair. He didn't expect that the villa was in such a bad condition, already in such a bitter and cold place, and that there were still disciples defecting?
When Cao Su was recruiting people, he didn't say he wouldn't recruit those disciples who had defected. Therefore, loose cultivating disciples like this who used to hide in the world are now popping up.
On the one hand, you can use this recruitment and selection to get rid of the title of casual cultivator, on the other hand, you can also find a backer for yourself.
In today's north, is there any thigh thicker than Cao Su?
------------------
Outside the martial arts arena, the former Zhenbei Army, now Cao's Army, separated the disciples participating in the selection.
After the drawing of lots, the candidates can only close their eyes and rest alone, and then wait for the call ahead.
These 313 young talents, surrounded by the army, did not dare to make any move. They could only sit cross-legged on the ground. The camp seemed quiet and the atmosphere was unusual.
Among the crowd, there was a candidate who was holding a huge "槧" as a weapon, which looked particularly awkward.
"槊" is a standard cavalry weapon with a long pole and a long blade. It is a sharp weapon in cavalry battles, but if it is placed in a battle between rivers and lakes, it does not seem to have an advantage.
After the candidate entered the military camp, he hugged his horse tightly, closed his eyes and meditated without saying anything.
There is a scar on his face, some red frost on his bare arms, and he is relatively strong and tall. At first glance, he comes from the north.
He is Xiang Jie, the defector disciple who escaped from Moke Jianzhuang.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A few years ago, Xiang Jie's betrayal of Moko Jianzhuang still caused a lot of attention in the Northland Wulin. Xi Tongli, the lord of Moko Jianzhuang, launched a pursuit
Order, and invited the Northland martial arts community to jointly arrest the defecting disciples.
However, this did not have much effect. Xiang Jie abandoned his sword and followed Shuo, and used a "qihao" to roam freely in the north. Later, he also went to Liaodong, Bei and other places, and gained some fame.
The constant exposure to wind and frost makes this young man, who is clearly only in his early twenties, look like he has gone through many vicissitudes of life.
Among the many young people, they belong to the more mature group.
Xiang Jie devotes himself to training and has full confidence in entering the Beiwu Academy.
"In the Beiwu Academy, not only is General Cao Su personally teaching you, but there are also secret books and elixirs available, including the 'Sky Spirit Pill', 'Blood Bodhi' and other secret elixirs, which are worth checking out."
Xiang Jie was determined to enter Beiwu Academy.
He is relatively older among the many students, and his martial arts realm has already reached the fourth level, and he is only one step away from stepping into the upper level of the strength realm.
There are only so many top-grade martial artists in the world, and among the students who came to sign up this time, the ones with the highest level are only those with the fourth-grade strength realm, just like him.
Therefore, he was very confident and what he had to consider was how to leave a deep impression in front of the general.
In this way, he kept practicing and adjusting his condition.
Not long after, cheers like a roaring mountain and a tsunami were heard in the martial arts arena.
"It's out, the first candidate to pass is out!"
Someone shouted. After all, many candidates were too young to sit still. They stood up one after another, stretched their necks and looked in the direction of the martial arts arena.
"It was Ruan Yang from Chiyun Sect who won."
"As expected, did the majority of the disciples win?"
"After all, he is still a major disciple of the sect. Although Ruan Yang failed to get a recommendation spot in the sect, he will still be a good player when he participates in the Jianghu selection after coming out."
Everyone was talking about it, but Ruan Yang who came out was just a little short of breath, and didn't have much difficulty.
The other student who participated in the election looked disgraced and dejected.
Everyone has passed the preliminary examination. At least in terms of strength and martial arts, they are all able to enter the Beiwu Academy. Unexpectedly, they lost in the first round.
After Ruan Yang walked out, several other disciples from Chiyun Sect who were participating in the election stood up and congratulated him from a distance.
"Senior Brother Ruan, you are good at martial arts."
"Where, where, accept, accept, accept."
Ruan Yang also followed the rules of the world, and bowed his hands to the brothers who thanked them one by one as a return gift.
Soon, the second duel took place in the martial arts arena, one duel after another, without any gaps.
There are a total of 156 games in the first round. According to the current progress, the first round alone will last three days.
The atmosphere in the martial arts arena was lively and the noise spread throughout Jizhou Prefecture.
----------------
In the martial arts arena, Cao Su, as the organizer's highest authority, watched some of the previous duels.
Most of the duels are between low-level warriors in the power realm. They cannot exceed the threshold of twenty-five years old, which limits the realm of many geniuses. There are only a handful of warriors who can reach the middle-level realm of power.
This made him slightly disappointed. Now at his level, a low-level martial artist in the realm of strength is a weakling two realms away from him. If he exerts a little force, the aura of a low-level martial artist in the realm of strength may be disturbed.
Even the blood surges.
If he has not cultivated to the middle level of strength realm, it will be difficult to get him interested.
On the contrary, the daughters of the Cao family and the heirs of the Cao family who had never seen this type of "game" were very excited. They suppressed the urge to shout like common people and suppressed their blushing faces.
Finally, after waiting for a long time, the first major showdown came in the martial arts arena.
Xu Muyang, a disciple of the Chiyun Sect, faced off against Lan Feng, a disciple of the Dingtian Palace.
Disciples from two major sects faced off, and both disciples had reached the middle level of the realm of strength.
Cao Su observed from a distance and found that the auras of the two disciples were not very stable, and it seemed that the breakthrough did not last long.
"Any breakthrough recently?"
Cao Su thought for a moment silently, guessing whether in order to prepare for the selection exam, these sect disciples temporarily used some drugs to assist the competition?
This was something he overlooked. If there was such a temporary method... these sects actually hid it and didn't tell him. If his army came like this on the battlefield, how could the other side withstand it?
He then thought about it, it must be a relatively precious drug, and it is unlikely to be used in batches.
The appearance and competition of two large disciples caused an uproar in the whole place.
The two men's fighting power was evenly matched, and the fight lasted for half an hour. Xu Muyang defeated Lan Feng with a "turning back and looking at the moon" style of swordsmanship, and won this round.
The fierce battle between the two triggered thunderous applause from the audience, and it was Cao Su who started the applause first.
It shows that Cao Su also recognized the quality of this competition.
After this battle ended, everyone speculated that there would be a period of stability.
However, immediately afterwards, Xiang Jie, a rebellious disciple of Moke Jianzhuang who was quite famous among casual cultivators, appeared.
Xiang Jie was carrying a huge riding spear, and his striking appearance quickly attracted the audience's admiration and attention.
"It's Xiang Jie!"
Xiang Jie's weathered face and burly body are very different from the disciples of various sects who just appeared, which is eye-catching.
And his opponent is——
"Ji Li!"
An unknown person.
Ji Li, also known as Ji Lie, performed in the previous pre-selection examination, which was average, even mediocre, and she just passed the test in all the items.
In the entire arena, everyone saw a young master who seemed to be relatively weak, and did not seem like a famous person.
"Where is this rich boy coming to experience life?"
"It must be a disciple of some rich clan. It's a pity that I met Xiang Jie."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Xiang Jie's horse looks bigger than this young master's. I don't know if this small body can withstand Xiang Jie's beatings."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this moment, Ji Lie, who was standing on the martial arts field, was also worried. He had suppressed his aura to the lowest level. What was revealed at this moment was only the strength of the seventh level of the power realm.
That's all, and Xiang Jie's various signs indicate that this person may have reached the fourth level of strength realm.
There is a big realm difference between the two, and there are several smaller realms behind the big realm. In addition, there is a huge difference in body shape. From the beginning of this fight, Xiang Jie has the absolute initiative and winning factor.
, in Jizhou Prefecture’s handicap, Xiang Jie’s odds are very low.
The odds are low, indicating that the risk is small, but it is still profitable, so some people spend a lot of money to buy the "big favorite" Xiang Jie.
Facing Xiang Jie, Ji Lie was speechless. Xiang Jie was not weak. If he didn't show some real skills this time, he might not be able to pass the test.
Xiang Jie didn't know that the martial arts skills of Ji Lie in front of him were not inferior to his. He held up his riding spear and reminded him in a deep voice without losing his grace: "Brother, the riding spear in Xiang's hand weighs two hundred and eighteen kilograms."
, after Xiang abandoned his sword and followed the sword, he had almost no defeats, and everyone who fought against Xiang suffered injuries. It is better for you to admit defeat early and avoid the pain of flesh and blood."
He was telling the truth, but in the ears of the audience, it felt like Xiang Jie was provoking him.
Ji Lie's expression also changed slightly, secretly thinking that this northern man was so unreasonable, just like the two unruly female disciples of Piaoxue Sect, they were both unreasonable people.
He was secretly angry and dropped his words: "It's useless to talk more. You can see the truth under your hands."
Xiang Jie did not try to persuade him. Seeing this man's stubbornness, he immediately tore off the long cloth that was wrapped around his horse. Then he shouted angrily and took the initiative to get angry. The surging inner energy spread out. After Xiang Jie suddenly bounced up,
He jumped high into the air and hit Ji Lie heavily with a moon-picking strike.
