"Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle." In martial arts, realm undoubtedly has a huge advantage, but in martial arts competitions, it is absolutely simple to compare the level of realm, and wisdom and skill play a huge role.
For Yang Ji, now is undoubtedly a rare opportunity to understand his competitors.
"The civet cat martial arts requires flexible movement, using the strength of the limbs and toes, and pays attention to the coordination of the muscles and veins. Although the speed is not as fast as the white snake martial arts, the movement is slippery and the direction is much more flexible. It is even stronger than my White Snake Fucao..."
A flash of lightning flashed in Yang Ji's mind.
The final winner of the "Martial Arts Examination" will undoubtedly be selected from the candidates in the martial arts realm, but Yang Ji is not just concerned about his opponents in the martial arts realm. In any level of competition, as long as there is something outstanding, Yang Ji will pay special attention to it.
.
"A ruler is short, an inch is strong." Even the poorest candidates often have one or two things that stand out. Yang Ji learned from each other's strengths to make up for his own shortcomings.
There are more than twenty competition units, thousands of martial arts students, and a large number of competitions are going on every moment. Even if Yang Ji has an amazing memory, it is impossible to remember everything.
Therefore, Yang Ji specially prepared a notebook in advance, which was filled with dense notes.
"This is a feast..."
Every cell of Yang Ji was stretching, and he enjoyed this martial arts feast very much. When everyone was cheering for other people's competitions, Yang Ji was like a sponge, absorbing things that were useful to him.
"Buzz!"
There was a buzz in Yang Ji's mind, and his vision suddenly blurred, and an extreme sense of fatigue surged from his body. This kind of constant observation, recording of the game, calculating martial arts, and analyzing the opponent's weaknesses at the same time consumes a lot of energy.
With physical strength, even a "warrior" cannot persist for too long.
But soon, a ray of cool energy surged down from the center of his eyebrows and surged throughout his body. Yang Ji's originally consumed mental energy suddenly became full again, and he energetically recorded what he saw...
Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was already approaching midnight. There were fewer and fewer people in the "Martial Hall", and many candidates who had finished the competition left and returned to their residences.
When the last game ended, a "dang" sound finally came out from the martial arts hall.
"it's over!……"
Yang Ji sighed and raised his head, only to see the military sergeant who was presiding over the competition on the stage quickly turned around and left the arena with four elite soldiers.
"The competition is really fierce. At least more than 3,000 candidates were eliminated today and need to go home."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
The martial arts examination is so cruel. Although the number of people is small, the next competition will only be more intense, because all the weak ones will be eliminated, and the remaining ones will only be stronger.
Yang Ji stood silently for a moment, then got mixed in with the crowd and walked out of the "Martial Arts Hall".
It was very late outside, and it was pitch dark when walking on the road.
Yang Ji returned to the room where he stayed and did not fall asleep immediately. He looked at the things recorded in the notebook and silently recalled the night's game before falling asleep...
The next day, countless candidates once again poured into the huge "Martial Arts Hall".
"boom!"
With a loud noise, Yang Ji used his "Cloud Hand" to shock an opponent out of the ring with his undisputed strength. There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd in the audience.
After yesterday's match, Yang Ji defeated Sun Fan with one move, which earned him a lot of attention. Now when Yang Ji was competing, a group of people who came to watch his match were obviously gathered in the ring.
"Amazing!"
"Another move!"
"I don't know who is stronger between him and Shen Tong!"
"I really look forward to a fight between them. The leader of the martial arts test in Unit 10 must be between him and Shen Tong. I just don't know if they will meet."
…
The crowd around them was talking a lot. The styles of Yang Ji and Shen Tong were too unique. They almost always defeated their opponents with one or two moves. Compared with other candidates who fought life and death, fighting for one stick of incense, two sticks of incense, or even longer. , these two people are really too conspicuous.
Yang Ji just smiled indifferently when he heard the discussion in the audience and ignored it. According to the rules of the competition, there is no doubt that only the strongest person can be qualified to participate in the next round of martial arts test, but there is not only one person.
He and Shen Tong don't necessarily have to fight it out!
"boom!"
After Yang Ji, Shen Tong struck out with a big hammer and blasted his opponent cleanly into the ring, earning a round of applause.
On the second day of the 10 venues, the number of people has dropped from more than 300 on the first day to more than 100. All those below the ninth level of the breathing realm were eliminated, and the rest were those who were at the tenth level of the breathing realm and more than twenty martial arts realms. Candidates!
Now almost everyone believes that the winner of the 10 venues is between those twenty martial arts level candidates and Yang Ji and Shen Tong.
"No. 1244, No. 3877 comes on!..." The voice of the black-faced man sounded on the ring.
The competition was over. Yang Ji stood in the crowd with his eyes closed. The competition with Shen Tong and the candidate just now still appeared in his mind, again and again.
Shen Tong's movements slowed down a lot in Yang Ji's mind, but each time they were powerful, a straight punch directly blasted the opponent off the ring like a cannonball.
In the two days of competition, Shen Tong did not make many moves, and Yang Ji could only observe a few. However, Yang Ji still discovered a lot of things.
"His strength is not necessarily stronger than mine, but with that hammering technique, his strength can be increased by several levels. I'm afraid I may not be able to stop him. But it's not that there is no chance at all. This hammering technique He obviously hasn't practiced to the limit yet, and as long as his moves are not perfect, there will definitely be flaws."
Yang Ji thought to himself.
Shen Tong's hammering moves were still too few, but this was not a problem for Yang Ji. There were clues to find in everything. Yang Ji closed his eyes and said nothing, and kept replaying Shen Tong's moves in his mind. Tong's two moves, and then kept calculating and deducing...
After a while, Yang Ji opened his eyes and was sweating.
“Go check out other venues.”
Yang Ji said and turned to leave.
"Whoosh!"
There was a flash of blood-colored sword light, and a strong martial arts student couldn't even dodge before he was pressed against his neck by a sharp long sword. His face turned pale and he couldn't stop moving.
"Riku Road No. 5641 wins!"
…
In the audience, Yang Ji made a few strokes and immediately wrote them down in his notebook. On the second day of the competition, there were extremely powerful opponents in each of the more than 20 venues, even masters of the second level of martial arts.
There were too many people, even though Yang Ji couldn't handle it all by himself. What was recorded in the notebook was just a drop in the bucket.
The game ended at noon, and when Yang Ji came out of the "Martial Arts Hall", he was still thinking about this matter.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang Ji, Brother Yang, here!..."
When I walked to the street, a familiar voice suddenly came from above. Next to the blue stone street, I saw a huge three-story restaurant standing on the roadside. It was decorated with carved railings and paintings, which was extraordinary.
The restaurant was bustling with people, filled with people eating. On the second floor, against the railing, a familiar face was waving to me excitedly.
"Han Bin!"
Yang Ji looked upstairs in surprise, but ignored it and continued walking forward.
Han Bin saw Yang Ji on the railing early. When he saw that Yang Ji was about to leave, he immediately became anxious. He leaned on the railing and jumped down from a height of more than three feet.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, don't leave!"
Han Bin caught up in a hurry.
"Is there a problem?"
Yang Ji frowned and did not stop.
"Hey, Brother Yang, it's a rare encounter. Let's have a meal together."
Han Bin said with saliva on his face.
"No need, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Yang Ji waved his hand. He had to go back to sort out the information and prepare for the afternoon competition. The more he understood, the more he felt that this "Martial Arts Examination" was very stressful and it was not easy to win.
"Wait a minute!——"
When Han Bin saw Yang Ji leaving, he suddenly became very anxious.
He didn't bump into Yang Ji by chance. This place was not far from the "Martial Arts Palace" and most people would pass by this restaurant when they left.
Yang Ji's character is always outstanding, so it is not easy to catch him.
"The competition for this year's martial arts examination is fierce. It is now recognized as more than any previous one. It is extremely difficult to stand out. The number of warriors has also exceeded that before. There are many strong competitors. Don't you want to know their names?"
News?"
Han Bin was in a hurry and gained wisdom.
"Recognized? More than any previous session. Where did you hear that?"
Yang Ji did not answer, but asked in surprise.
"Hey, you don't know yet."
As soon as Han Bin saw Yang Ji's reaction, he knew that his words had an effect and said with a smile:
"This is not what I said, it is recognized by everyone. The 'Martial Arts Examination' is difficult. Only seven people can pass it out of thousands of people, but it is not as difficult as this year. Not to mention anything else, there are more than twenty
There are quite a few people at the second level of martial arts in the venue."
"Although there were some in the past, there were not so many. Now even the captains and captains of the army are talking about this kind of thing. Moreover, there are rumors that this year there will be an incredible 'big shot' participating."
Han Bin said.
"Big shot? What big shot?"
Yang Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Han Bin in surprise. He and Han Bin entered the city almost at the same time, and judging from Han Bin's cultivation level, he should not be as high as him. How did he know so much information in a short period of time?
of.
"I don't know who the big shots are. But privately, it's only spread among a few people."
Han Bin smiled, as if he knew what Yang Ji was thinking:
"Isn't it strange how I know so much information? This is not because I have great powers or any secret methods. All the information comes from here."
Han Bin pointed to the restaurant behind him. A huge plaque on it said "Dilong Restaurant" in gold letters!
"This is the tallest, largest and most famous restaurant in Pingchuan City. During every martial arts examination, most people will come here to dine. When I came, some people asked too many questions. If you want to inquire about the news, you have to ask more
Come and visit this place.——Brother Yang, you don’t seem to know.”
Han Bin said.
Yang Ji shook his head. This was his first time in Pingchuan City, so how would he know about it? Moreover, if someone who was not a person who had participated in the martial arts examination, how would he know about such a trivial matter?
In the Yang clan, there would be no mention of him at all.
Yang Jiwei thought for a moment, then stopped refusing and followed Han Bin to the restaurant.
