Lord Hong

"Didn't you find that the three Pulse Condensation Realm fighters happened to be divided into three arenas?"

"Hehe, I hope Yunhong can win."

"Yes, Yunhong must win the first place."

The tens of thousands of people who came to watch the battle actually didn't know much about the disciples of the Raging Fire Palace in the ring, but the Nine Divisions of the county government had prepared thousands of notices and posted them everywhere, introducing the disciples of the Raging Fire Palace who participated in the battle.

Yun Hong and Xie Shan were the only two commoner disciples who participated in the Raging Fire Palace competition, and many commoners who came to watch the battle had great expectations for them.

Compared with tens of thousands of people who watched the battle, the martial arts disciples who knew the situation better were more objective.

"Wu Hongyu, Senior Sister Wu, has the greatest hope of winning the first place. She has the longest time to congeal her pulse. Since February this year, she has won the first place in the Raging Fire Temple eight times."

"Senior brother Liu should not be underestimated."

"Senior Brother Yun has the least hope of winning. He only had his body tempered to the sixth level in the last Raging Fire Palace competition. It has been less than a month since today, so maybe he hasn't cultivated his true energy yet."

Many disciples were discussing in low voices.

As for the comments of the common people and disciples who came to watch the battle, the fifteen disciples in the arena were all at the sixth level of Body Tempering, so they could naturally hear them, but all of them looked calm and kept silent, waiting for the competition to start.

Only Yun Hong, when he heard someone say that he might not have cultivated his true qi, his face was slightly startled... and he returned to normal soon after.

Boom~

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the outermost periphery of the spectators.

"coming."

"Magistrate Shang and the others, as well as the martial arts masters, are all here."

The crowd gradually became agitated. Every year in October, the Raging Fire Temple Competition is a grand event. Not only the officials of the Ninth Division of the County Government, but even the county magistrate, county magistrate, and martial arts masters in the city will come without accident.

"That's County Magistrate Shang, who is also said to be a master of the No Leakage Realm."

"Liu County Chancellor, his son Liu Ming is a disciple of Raging Fire Palace, and his pulse has been condensed. It is said that when Shang County Magistrate takes office next year, Liu Xiancheng will take over..."

"Be careful what you say."

"The head of the Martial Academy, Fang Tu, the master of martial arts!"

"Yanglou, although one-armed, is the number one sword in Donghe County, with extraordinary strength."

"Wu Lie, the most powerful member of the Wu family in Guichang, he came from Guichang town. Back then, he was a famous martial arts master in Ningyang county."

A number of dignitaries from Donghe County entered the viewing platform one after another through a special passage, and sat down one after another. Shang County Magistrate took the lead, Liu County Prime Minister took the second place, and the other five or six martial arts masters sat slightly behind.

"Martial arts masters really have special privileges."

Yun Hong on the stage was observing five or six martial arts masters sitting not far away from the corner of his eye.

There are two hurdles in martial arts training.

The first hurdle is from the sixth level of body tempering to the pulse condensing state, which is difficult for many warriors.

The second level is from Wulou Realm to Spiritual Realm. Wulou Realm can be called a master in a county, but it is only a master, while Spiritual Realm is called a master - a martial arts master.

In Donghe County, the government is naturally the most powerful, but every martial arts master is far superior to ordinary warriors. Facing hundreds of soldiers alone, they can completely slaughter them with a full burst.

Warriors will have some privileges.

Martial arts masters have greater power and power, and each martial arts master is not afraid of the chief of a county.

……

While Yun Hong was thinking, three figures walked out of the passage not far away, and the six martial arts masters who had already sat down stood up directly.

The magistrate Shang and the magistrate Liu also stood up.

"It's General Ye."

"General Ye came out? He even came!"

"His daughter Ye Lan is in the ring."

A piece of boiling.

Everyone turned their attention to the past. Among the three people who came, the leader was a middle-aged man in a black robe, with a gentle smile on his face. His face was somewhat similar to Ye Lan's, exuding a trace of extraordinary means.

The man in black was none other than Ye Feng, the general of the guarding army of Donghe County.

Ye Feng led two generals in black armor to the viewing platform, nodded to everyone on the viewing platform, and then sat at one end of the viewing platform.

In terms of status, Ye Feng was no less than Shang County Magistrate.

For this scene, no matter it was the many important figures of Donghe County on stage, or the tens of thousands of people in the audience, they were not surprised or criticized at all.

Because Ye Feng is the undisputed number one powerhouse in Donghe County!

The only great master of martial arts.

……

"I'm very happy. This year, there are fifteen disciples in the Raging Fire Hall of the Martial Academy, and three disciples of Ningmai have emerged. It's my luck in Donghe County."

Shang County Magistrate is also a master of no leaks at any rate, using his true energy, his voice easily spread throughout the martial arts arena hundreds of meters away.

"However, Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second!"

"The Raging Fire Palace competition is a preview of the selection of the county court, and it is also the beginning of the young generation of martial arts experts in Donghe County becoming famous." The voice of Shang County Magistrate became louder.

The discussion below gradually grew louder.

The county magistrate Shang began to read out the rules: "15 people will be divided into three groups according to the current order of standing in the arena, and they will face each other one by one in each arena. Compared with the top three."

"The top three will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."

Boom~

There was a commotion below.

"what?"

"The top three will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver?"

"In the past, thousands of taels were rewarded for the first place. It seems that the standard of rewards will be higher this year. I really don't know how much the final first place will be rewarded."

Thousands of taels of silver, many ordinary people will not be able to earn such a large amount of silver in their lifetime.

On the other hand, Yun Hong, Liu Ming, Xie Shan and others on the three rings looked at each other thoughtfully, because the three disciples who had reached the Pulse Condensation Stage happened to be assigned to the three rings.

"It seems that the Martial Academy and the county government don't want me, Wu Hongyu, Liu Ming and the others to be eliminated early." Yun Hong secretly said.

Right.

If the Pulse Condensation Realm warriors confront each other in advance, it may attract a lot of criticism, let alone convince the loser.

"Fifteen of you." Shang Jie looked down at Yunhong and the others, and said in a low voice: "Xingyan is on top, Chengyang is on the bottom, and Raging Fire Temple is fair and open to all martial arts disciples, and treats them equally. Do you have any objections?"

It was quiet.

Yunhong, Wu Hongyu and others waited quietly.

"Okay." Shang County Magistrate nodded satisfied: "Then, I announce that the palace competition has officially started. Remember, in the fire palace competition, frontal weapons are not allowed, and life is not allowed. Anyone who kills intentionally will be punished with capital punishment!"

It is very difficult to kill a person instantly with a weapon that does not strike, but it is too easy to see clearly whether the killing is intentional or not, with many martial arts masters present, and even a great martial arts master.

"Let's start from the ring on the far right." Shang County Magistrate said.

On the far right is the arena where Wu Hongyu is.

Immediately.

The eyes of tens of thousands of people in the entire martial arts arena were focused on it.

On the ring stage, the eyes of four of them fell on Wu Hongyu, because Wu Hongyu was the only warrior among the five who had congealed their pulse.

"One on one? Decide who wins the most games?"

"It's a waste of time." Wu Hongyu said indifferently, "You four, let's go together!"

Chapter 31 Gaze

"what?"

"One vs. four, Wu Hongyu is indeed powerful. She was always number one in the Raging Fire Hall before, but can she be so powerful?"

"The other four are also disciples of Raging Fire Palace!"

There was an uproar in the audience, and many spectators were shocked.

All the martial arts masters on the viewing platform were also a little astonished, although they admitted that Wu Hongyu was a rare martial arts genius in Donghe County, and that the Meridian Condensation Realm had a huge advantage over the Yi Jin peak.

However, this is a pair of four.

Who is guaranteed to win?

"Senior Sister Wu, do you look down on us too much?" Ye Lan couldn't help but said in a low voice: "Although you are powerful, you may not be able to defeat the four of us."

Xie Shan also said in a low voice: "Senior Sister Wu, you should defeat us one by one."

The other two disciples didn't speak, but their expressions said everything.

Too contemptuous of people.

But Wu Hongyu ignored Xie Shan and Ye Lan, and instead spoke again: "Dare to ask the county magistrate, is it possible?"

Shang County Magistrate frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at the martial arts master Wu Lie who was sitting beside him. He was the leader of the Wu clan and Wu Hongyu's elder.

Wu Lie nodded slightly.

"Okay, Wu Hongyu." County Magistrate Shang nodded and said, "You can play one against four, but you have to understand that once you lose, you won't have another chance and will be the last place directly."

Challenge the rules, yes.

But also bear the consequences of failure.

Wu Hongyu nodded: "Understood."

"Okay, Ye Lan, Xie Shan..." County magistrate Shang said softly, "The four of you will join forces to fight Wu Hongyu. If you lose, Wu Hongyu will win the first place in the ring. If she loses, you four will fight in turn. Come first."

Ye Lan, Xie Shan and the others looked at each other, each took out the unarmed weapons they had prepared, and stood on the four corners of the huge arena.

Call ~

The big man in black armor who had been standing by Ye Feng's side suddenly got up.

Immediately afterwards, he rushed out more than ten feet in a flash, and came to the edge of the ring. The speed was unimaginably fast, causing everyone to exclaim.

This is one of the two lieutenants of the guarding army. He is also a master of martial arts. He is also well-known in Donghe County. He is the referee of the Raging Fire Palace Competition and can terminate the competition at critical moments.

The black armored man said in a low voice, "Let's begin."

The voice just fell.

Ye Lan, Xie Shan and other four disciples of Raging Fire Palace rushed out at the same time in a very tacit understanding, attacking Wu Hongyu from four directions at the same time, and tried their best to defeat Wu Hongyu with their joint efforts.

……

The other disciples in the other two arenas, especially Yun Hong and Liu Ming, watched the battle silently, both of them aspired to be number one.

And Wu Hongyu is their stumbling block, so naturally they have to take a good look.

"Junior Brother Yun, do you think Senior Sister Wu can win?" Fang Bin, a bald boy standing beside Yunhong, couldn't help but asked.

"I don't know." Yun Hong shook his head lightly: "Senior Sister Wu has condensed her pulse for nearly a year. With the help of true energy to quench her body, she is probably much stronger than when she first condensed her pulse. Maybe she is at the peak of the pulse condensing state... But with one enemy and many, the outcome is hard to predict."

That's the way it is said, but according to Yun Hong's thinking, Wu Hongyu's chances of winning are probably higher, and if he dares to say such arrogant words, he must be very sure.

Otherwise, once defeated, it will only become a laughing stock.

Of course, no one dares to make a conclusion until the last moment in a martial arts contest.

……

on the viewing platform

"Old Wu, are you so confident?"

Fang Tu, who was sitting next to Wu Lie, laughed and said, "Little girl Hongyu, even the dean didn't tell me about such an important decision in advance."

"I didn't know beforehand." Wu Lie shook his head and said.

"I don't know?" Fang Tu frowned slightly and said, "Then you still agree with her to do this? Among the four disciples who fought against Hongyu, that little girl was Ye Lan, the only daughter of General Ye, and she entered the Raging Fire Palace. Don't you know that it's her first Raging Fire Palace Competition?"

"General Ye's only daughter? This is the first time to participate in the Raging Fire Palace Competition?" Wu Lie blinked. He only arrived in Donghe County yesterday, so how could he know these things.
