"Thank you. By the way, aunt, are you okay? I'm going to take a look when I have time." Chen Chen patted Chen Xing on the shoulder and asked. After leaving Nanshan County for a few years, Chen Chen missed Chen Lingyun very much.
"Fortunately. My aunt often uses you as an example to teach me. Besides, you still have your residence in Baquan Hall." Chen Xing nodded.
"A few years have passed in the blink of an eye. It's time to visit Hall Master Ye and my aunt when I have time." Chen Chen sighed.
"I hope you can get good grades. Then they will be very happy." Chen Xing said.
"I will work hard." Chen Chen nodded.
After Yan Fei, Chen Dingxiao, Yan Wen, Yan Wu, and Hai Wudi arrived, the competition continued. The person sitting next to Chen Dingxiao was Mrs. Chen.
Originally, Chen Dingxiao did not want his wife to come and watch. After all, the battle in the ring would become increasingly fierce. But Mrs. Chen insisted on watching.
"Madam, do you want to see that young man fight?" Chen Dingxiao asked his wife beside him in a low voice.
"Yes. That child is lovable. He is kind-hearted, well-educated and unassuming." Mrs. Chen said.
"I also think he is good. I hope he can perform well today." Yan Fei said.
Chen Chen watched every battle calmly. When it was his turn to play, he simply fought with bare hands because no strong opponent appeared.
Soon the ten battles for each contestant were completed. The next step was to rank the host.
A quarter of an hour later, thirty-two people were selected.
"The Emperor has a decree. All applicants will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold. Those who enter the top thirty-two will be rewarded with three hundred taels of gold." Han Lingyuan stood up and announced.
"There are still a hundred taels of gold left. When you finish the competition, I'll treat you to a drink." Chen Xing said to Chen Chen.
"Okay." Chen Chen nodded.
"The next thirty-two people will draw lots to compete. The winner will advance. The loser will be eliminated. The sixteen people who advance will continue to draw lots to determine the top eight. And so on until the first place appears." Han Lingyuan finished speaking and took it. The staff behind him threw the name tags they had just made into the sign tube, and then shook them vigorously a dozen times.
"Now I am responsible for drawing lots and calling out names. Those who call out names will come on stage." Hailixin came to the lottery tube in front of Han Lingyuan. He stretched out his hand and took out two name tags. "Huo Yan, Liu Ze. You two come on stage."
Huo Yan, who performed very well yesterday, came on stage. His opponent was Liu Ze, who was at the fourth level of the spiritual realm.
"Brother Huo's strength is far beyond what Liu Ze can match. Let's just treat this as a competition and learn from experience." Liu Ze said with great self-knowledge.
"I have practiced for several more years than you. You are already very good. Come, please." Huo Yan was also very polite.
Huo Yan is exactly thirty today. His cultivation level is at the seventh level of the spiritual realm, so he is the best among the contestants this time.
The battle between Huo Yan and Liu Ze was like sparring. After more than ten rounds, Huo Yan's long sword tapped Liu Ze's shoulder.
"Thank you Brother Huo for showing mercy." Liu Ze bowed and walked out of the ring.
Such a fight won a round of applause.
"Only those with martial ethics and broad-mindedness can achieve great things. Write down their names." Yan Fei nodded appreciatively and told the people behind him.
After three games, it was Chen Chen's turn.
"I know I'm not your opponent, but I hope to see your strength. Defeating me with your true strength is a sign of respect for me." Chen Chen's opponent looked at Chen Chen and said.
"Okay." Chen Chen's arm shook. The mysterious ice gun flashing with cold light appeared. The blade of the gun slashed across the sky and made a clear sound.
"Thank you. Take the move." After Chen Chen's opponent finished speaking, he ducked and stabbed Chen Chen's chest with his long sword.
Chen Chen's feet trembled. The Falling Leaves and Flying Flowers Spear Technique was unleashed. The spiritual energy on the gun shaft shook the opponent's long sword away. The tip of the gun was fixed on the opponent's throat.
"One move. But I won't be discouraged. I hope you can go further." Chen Chen's opponent bowed and left the ring.
Putting away the Xuanbing Gun, he bowed his hands towards the main seat and the host's seat. Chen Chen left the ring.
The square was very quiet from the time Chen Chen took action until he walked off the ring. Because Chen Chen's performance today was very different from yesterday. Yesterday, he was as humble as a young scholar. Today, he showed his domineering side when he took action.
"What do you think?" Chen Dingxiao looked at Yan Fei and asked.
"The artistic conception marksmanship. At the last moment, it also contains momentum. I haven't seen such marksmanship in many years. The main reason is that he can move it freely. The spear is in his hand like an arm." Yan Fei said.
"What Jun Supervisor is practicing is the momentum marksmanship. There is only one person in our Burning Heaven Sect who practices the artistic conception marksmanship. Could it be that it was taught by the deputy sect leader." Chen Dingxiao murmured in a low voice.
"It's different. The deputy sect leader's is Feixue Spearmanship. His is not." Yan Fei shook his head.
"That's great." Chen Xing said excitedly when he saw Chen Chen coming back.
"It's nothing. After all, his cultivation level is three levels lower than mine." Chen Chen sat down and said.
Yan Yuehan and Ziwei looked at each other.
"Ziwei. Why did Chen Chen suddenly become so domineering?" Yan Yuehan asked.
"Respect the opponent. In addition, today is the time for the real battle. If he was so conservative yesterday, he would have been entangled endlessly. So he has to change his strategy." Ziwei understood Chen Chen's thoughts.
"That should be it." Yan Yuehan thought about it and understood.
Tsunami kept staring at Chen Chen. He felt that Chen Chen was in danger. He also paid special attention to Chen Chen because he understood that he couldn't do that kind of shot just now.
Duan Tianpeng also looked at Chen Chen. He also knew that Chen Chen was not easy to mess with.
"They are targeting you." Chen Xing whispered.
"It doesn't matter. We have to face each other today." Chen Chen shook his head.
"That guy has murderous intentions towards you. I can feel it." Chen Xing said to Chen Chen.
"If he doesn't kill me, I will kill him today." Chen Chen said something that surprised Chen Xing.
"Then you have to be careful." Chen Xing was still worried.
"It's okay." Chen Chen shook his head.
The next competition continued. Tsunami's opponent was disabled by him again.
"Damn it." Chen Xing said angrily.
"The murderer will be killed without mercy. He will pay the price." Chen Chen also felt angry in his heart.
"Now let's invite Huo Yan and Duan Tianpeng to play." Hailixin took a look at the name tag and shouted. He was very happy. This competition meant that Tsunami had a better opponent.
