The central axis of the Wushu Academy in Langyuan City was crowded with people. Not only all the students in the academy came here, but many teachers in the academy also came there early in the morning to get a place that was convenient for watching.
This martial arts arena is actually not that big. It is not as big as the martial arts arena in the military where you can gallop your horse and practice fighting. However, it can accommodate seven or eight temporary arenas and can accommodate more than a thousand students and instructors from the Jiangwu Academy. More than enough.
Today's excitement is not uncommon in the Langyuan City Military Academy. There are two such grand gatherings every year. Students in the entire academy will compete in these seven or eight arenas to determine the top ten in each realm of cultivation. master, and then get additional rewards from the Jiangwuyuan.
It is only during such grand events that the Wushu Academy will issue some invitations, inviting family members of some students, or local officials and famous martial artists to come into the academy to watch. It is also used as an opening to the outside world to let people know about this event. A lecture on the level of martial arts practitioners in the martial arts academy. Secondly, it also gives some students the opportunity to get in touch with local dignitaries. After all, most students cannot stay in the martial arts academy for the rest of their lives. They have to go out and pursue a future. In addition to the military, they can also Make some other choices.
The most sought-after arena among students is naturally the competition arena with the highest level of cultivation, which is the Tongqiao realm. It’s not that there is no higher level of the Hundred Refining realm, but it’s that there is no need for it. The warriors of the Hundred Refining realm are already in the military or elsewhere. They have accumulated practical experience through their adventures, and the experience in the arena is completely meaningless to them.
In fact, even for warriors in the Tongqiao Realm, the experience in the arena is dispensable and of little significance. Even in the life and death arena, it is the same, because it is almost impossible to encounter a fair fight in all aspects in actual combat outside.
Therefore, the reason why monks in the Tongqiao Realm participate in the competition in the academy is more of a "performance". They show themselves to some big shots or informants who come here with the intention of provoking others.
Although Zhang Yan had no classes today, he came to the courtyard. Following some signs erected on the martial arts field, he quickly found a ring standing in the corner, and met an acquaintance in front of the ring.
"Haha, Mr. Zhou, Zhang Yan is so polite here. Are you here to watch the young masters compete?" Zhang Yan greeted Zhou Cang with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang!" Zhou Cang returned the gift with a smile. At the same time, he pointed at Zhou Yun, who was gathering with a few young people not far away and talking about something. He said, "Quan Zi is being cultivated by Mr. Quan Nai this time. After a while, he wanted to go to the ring and try his skills. Speaking of which, this is the first time he has fought with someone in such a formal ring. As a father, I couldn't help but be curious, so I took the time to come over and have a look."
Zhou Cang is now calm and relaxed. He has found a way to the Eastern Army Commander Shi Xuan. He has a lot of bone-strengthening pills in his hands as a source of confidence. Hengkan also has a good relationship with Zhang Yan, a strange man with mysterious abilities. , I'm afraid there will be no twists and turns in the future. Just look at the treatment of his son Zhou Yun. Who would have thought that in just a few months, a baby in the middle stage of the body tempering realm would be able to have a huge increase in skin and flesh toughness and endurance, to the point where he can be used. What is the level of combat skills in the late Body Tempering Realm? This is all because Zhou Cang made a decisive decision on Zhang Yan's method, otherwise his son would have been able to catch up?
It's just a pity that Zhang Yan didn't accept a disciple, and Zhou Cang hinted many times but was sidetracked. Otherwise, Zhou Cang felt that his relationship with Zhang Yan could be closer.
"Sir, do you know that Langyuan City's officialdom has been greatly shaken recently, and 90% of the officials have been imprisoned. Many of them were guilty of corruption and perversion of the law for personal gain. Sir, someone had stolen the family property before. You can try this matter.
Do you want to overturn the verdict? I heard that Yang Jie, the Langguan of Zuojun who is in charge of Langyuan City, is also a capable person with a clear understanding of everything. He should be able to restore his innocence. And it is not impossible to recover the previous family property."
Zhang Yan shook his head. Wu Yuan and his son were both dead, and the revenge of his predecessor had been completely avenged. As for his family wealth, how much did he win from Wu Qingling's money shop? Far more than the two shops that were taken away before.
I don’t want to cause trouble. After all, not all the yamen are fools. The one who asked Liu Yi to come over last time made Zhang Yan a little worried that the other party would entangle him. After all, many doubts have fallen on him. So one more thing
It's better to take one less thing and forget it.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for remembering me. But the past cannot be looked back on, so let it go. Zhang Yan has returned from the army as if he were reborn, and he no longer wants to disturb the present with the past."
"I see, sir, you are very open-minded." Zhou Cang would not be stupid enough to continue to dwell on this topic. After Zhang Yan refused, he immediately moved the topic elsewhere, not letting the situation cool down at all.
When it comes to topics, it must be something that both parties know about in common, otherwise it would be very embarrassing if it was just one person talking non-stop. In fact, there are not many common topics between Zhou Cang and Zhang Yan. Let’s talk about warrior-related topics.
No, not even in alchemy. The rest can only be told about some interesting stories about joining the army. Some of them are really related to Zhang Yan.
"Sir, do you know that the Bagua Formation has become very famous in the military. Just in the previous military report, the defenders of Yubei Mountain crossed the ridge defense line, and for the first time they went under the ridge and took the initiative to set up their formation to contact the demon clan, and captured three enemies in one go.
Ten monster soldiers and nearly sixty miscellaneous soldiers. The results of the battle can be described as fruitful.
With the help of Mr. Bagua Array, Yubei Mountain has harvested much more Yushan fruits this year than in previous years. Now the price of Yushan wine on the market has begun to drop. Mr.’s contribution to this is indelible!
Moreover, Lin Zedong is about to be promoted, and he is likely to be appointed as deputy general in Xiyuan County, south of Chonglan County. Sir, he also knows that the terrain is advantageous compared to Yubei Mountain. Xiyuan County has a flat plain and borders the Haoyue Demon Kingdom, so the war will be even more dangerous.
. It is estimated that the Ministry of War Yamen hopes that Lin Zedong will put the Bagua array there to test the waters. Even Yubei Mountain's previous initiative to attack is most likely to prepare for what will happen next."
The acquaintance between Zhang Yan and Zhou Cang was the bridge built by Lin Zedong. It was back when Zhang Yan was in Yubei Mountain. At that time, Lin Zedong was in charge of You Tan Banner. Zhang Yan exchanged the details of the Bagua array for Lin Zedong.
He recommended Zhou Cang and asked Zhou Cang to take care of the old and weak Zhang family in Langyuan City. Therefore, Zhang Yan would not feel out of place when talking about Lin Zedong.
"The terrain in Xiyuan County is flat, and Nanyuan Kingdom does not have as many cavalry as Beiwu to rely on. There is no danger to defend. It is said that the strongholds are close to resisting the monsters, and the casualties have always been heavy. If Master Lin can
If the Bagua Formation is put to good use over there, there should be some improvements." Although Zhang Yan doesn't know much about soldiers, he has been in the army for more than two years, and he still knows the terrain of Xiyuan County, which is close to Yubei Mountain. Combined with his understanding of the
Once you understand the Bagua array, you basically know it in your mind.
"Haha, sir, if Lin Zedong knows this, he will definitely feel relieved. He wrote a letter before and said that he wanted to ask sir for some questions related to the Bagua array. Maybe he will really need to ask sir for advice in the future!"
