Chapter 194 A big wave of pretending to force them to enter the arena
After sending two cigarettes to General Li and settling everything, Xu Que once again stepped into the palace he had been away from for a long time.
This is the first time he has entered the palace since his time travel and rebirth, but he still has familiar impressions of many places in his memory.
The trial ground was placed on the broad platform outside the Jinluan Palace. It looked like a giant formation was arranged to cover the open space and isolate the palace buildings.
The scope of the platform is very wide, at least as big as six or seven football fields, with dozens of competition stages arranged within it, with a guard standing beside each competition stage.
But in the center of the dozens of competition stages, there is a giant teleportation array, surrounded by ten Nascent Soul guards. It's hard to guess what its purpose is.
If we build a teleportation array, we might have to compete elsewhere later. Xu Que frowned and whispered to himself.
A scholar happened to pass by Xu Que. Hearing his muttering, he couldn't help but smile: Brother, don't you know what the test will be later? It was all mentioned on the imperial list yesterday. In addition to the literary test today,
There is also a martial arts test
Oh, what kind of trial does this teleportation array belong to? Xu Que asked curiously.
The scholar responded enthusiastically: "Of course it is a martial arts test. Now our Huo Yuan Kingdom is infested with monsters, and countless people have been harmed. Therefore, this martial arts test is to send us to various wild forests to kill the monsters."
Xu Que was stunned that it was that simple.
The scholar suddenly became ashamed: Brother, this is not easy. Monster beasts are born with a physical advantage over my human race. They are almost invincible at the same level. What's more, this martial arts test is about who hunts more golden elixir stage monster beasts. The situation is very serious.
It's difficult
Xu Que was very happy after hearing this. It was really interesting to see who could kill more people.
It's just killing monsters. Isn't this easy? It's completely easy.
Brother, you must not take this lightly. If you are in trouble in the wild forest, I am afraid no one can save you. But it is not easy to pass the martial arts test. You see, there is still a literary test waiting for us.
The scholar pointed to the trial field and said with a wry smile.
Xu Que looked at the dozens of competition stages and raised his eyebrows: Why are there such competition stages for the literary test?
Of course, we are allowed to compete with each other, because this literary test is about basic martial arts. This formation can block the true energy in our bodies, so we have to compete with each other based on physical strength alone.
The literary test was actually a competition in martial arts. I thought it was about reciting poems and answering questions.
Of course there are pairs of poems, but you have to pass the martial arts first before you can compete in poems.
Thank you so much for your advice, brother.
Xu Que raised his hand and thanked him.
The scholar also bowed his hands and walked away.
Xu Que's eyes also glanced at the training ground, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he was competing in martial arts and poetry.
Haha, this is too simple
At the same time, there were more and more people around the trial site. Many monks who had gotten up early and lined up to come in, as well as people who took the back door like Xu Que, gathered around and waited outside the trial site.
Suddenly, waves of exclamations sounded from not far away, followed by the commotion of the crowd outside the palace. It was so noisy that it was difficult to hear what was being shouted.
Xu Que turned around and saw that the palace door was wide open and several teams walked in, surrounded by guards.
Look quickly, disciples from the three major sects of the Five Kingdoms came to the side of the trial ground, and a scholar immediately exclaimed in shock.
I had heard that disciples from the three major sects of the Five Kingdoms would come to participate in the marriage recruitment, but I didn't expect that so many people would come.
Sure enough, everyone has an extraordinary appearance, and they are all so powerful.
The team at the head is Langjian Sect, and the swordsman in white standing at the front must be Ye Changfeng, the son of the legendary Sword God.
Yes, it is said that he has a Red Cloud Shadowless Sword, which was passed down to him personally by the master of Langjian Sect. It can kill people without a shadow.
His cultivation should not be underestimated. At such a young age, he has already reached the third level of the Nascent Soul stage.
Everyone was talking a lot, and their eyes fell on a swordsman in white.
Xu Que listened to the remarks and glanced over. He thought to himself, Damn it, there's another big wave of pretenders. You're not qualified enough to dare to pretend in front of me.
Look at each of these, the three major sects of the Five Kingdoms have made you just like the recommended students. In the end, you still have to compete in the arena.
What Xu Que especially dislikes is when others show off in front of him. Isn't this just a trick? Son of a sword god, you have the guts to travel around the world in the name of your father.
You squirm and twist as you walk. Do you think you are really the protagonist when you are dressed so white? I am already tired of this low-level pretense, okay?
I muttered a few times in my heart, of course Xu Que, the son of the Sword God, would not take it seriously. He was only at the third level of Nascent Soul stage, and he could kill him with one hand.
The three major sects, in addition to Langjian Sect, disciples from Tianxiang Valley and Dao Dao Sect also came. The disciples of these three major sects all looked heroic and extraordinary, with unique temperaments.
When they entered the venue, they all held their heads high and naturally enjoyed the envious and awed looks of other monks and scholars.
But in Xu Que's eyes, these are all a group of low-class pretenders. What he really cares about is Tianxiang Valley.
Recalling that there had been a big fuss at the trial point of Tianxiang Valley, and later I met a woman who was as still as water on the Tower of the Spirit Realm. Unfortunately, before I could get hold of her, I grabbed the Divine Walking Escape Talisman.
Ran.
Now that he saw the disciples from Tianxiang Valley arriving, Xu Que naturally took a few more glances.
The result was very disappointing. In addition to a dozen disciples, the people sent by Tianxiang Valley were only led by an old man in the infant transformation stage, and they were all unfamiliar faces. They were obviously not the ones they met at the trial point last time.
people
Alas, are we no longer destined to be together? Xu Que shook his head and sighed.
Soon, there were already crowds of people entering the palace. Disciples from various major sects, including students from some major academies, were arranged in designated areas and provided with seats and tea.
Only people like Xu Que who came alone and had no status could only find a place to stand and wait.
At this time, a eunuch walked out of the Jinluan Palace.
Holding the imperial edict in his hand, he stood on the high steps majesticly, shouting with a sharp voice: The imperial edict has arrived.
Immediately, everyone in the audience stopped talking and focused their gazes towards the Jinluan Hall on the steps.
The eunuch opened the imperial edict and read in a sharp voice: It is by God's decree that the Emperor of Fire declares that there are countless talented people in the world. Only those who are both civilized and military can become our Huo Yuan Kingdom's consort.
After a simple opening statement, the eunuch took back the imperial edict, glanced at everyone, and said in a sharp voice: The first level of competition begins now.
dong dong dong
The sound of drums sounded both inside and outside the palace, deafening and making people's blood boil.
Everyone present also straightened up and was eager to try.
The first level is the literary test. As long as we pass the martial arts level, it will be in our favor. A scholar said slightly excitedly.
When it comes to poems and songs, those sect disciples or casual cultivators are probably going to fall over a lot.
After all, the Fire Emperor still favors us scholars. In the first level, we compete in martial arts in order to avoid casualties and fierce fighting. Finally, we eliminate some monks who only know how to fight and kill with poems and songs, so that we scholars can pass the level smoothly.
However, the really difficult thing is that in the second level, we need to kill the monsters, so we can only rely on ourselves.
Several literati monks were talking in low voices, but their faces were filled with confidence.
At this moment, there was a muffled sound in the trial field, the formation barrier flickered slightly, and nine entrances were opened, shining brightly, leading to eighty-one competition stages.
