Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

So the shopkeeper did not force it, but said to Lian Li kindly: "Then I wish Lian Lang's friend can get a good ranking in the competition and become famous all over the world."

"Thank you for your good wishes, boss." Lian Li smiled brightly.

When they returned to the inn, Yun Huizhou was sitting cross-legged on the bed regulating his breathing. Lian Li walked lightly to the table, sat down, and poured himself a glass of water.

After a while, Yun Huizhou finished regulating his breathing and quickly came to sit opposite Lian Li.

"Tomorrow I will stand with the people from the Qinghong Sword Sect. When I go on stage, don't walk around. Just stay with them." Yun Huizhou said.

"Okay." Lian Li agreed readily.

the next day.

Lian Li woke up together with Yun Huizhou.

It was still dark, and the first thing Yun Huizhou did when he woke up was to sit cross-legged and regulate his breathing.

Lian Li lay on the bed, turning his head to look at Yun Huizhou who was sitting on the other side of the bed, without moving.

About half an hour later, Yun Huizhou finished regulating his breathing.

Call the waiter to bring water for washing and breakfast.

Because they might have to participate in a competition today, the two of them had a richer breakfast than usual.

After breakfast, the sky began to light up slightly.

The two came to the competition venue.

Many people had already come here. Yun Huizhou put his arm around Lian Li's shoulders and led him through the crowd. They soon arrived at where the disciples of Qinghong Sword Sect were.

Zhao Honglan was also here, accompanied by a tall girl with heroic eyes and eyebrows, as bright as bright clouds.

This time, Yun Huizhou did not ask Zhao Honglan to introduce himself, nor did he ask the girl to introduce herself. Instead, he took the initiative to speak.

He first pointed at Lian Li and introduced him to the girl, "Lian Li."

Then he said to Lian Li: "This is Miss Qu, the senior sister of Qinghong Sword Sect."

Senior Sister Qu smiled and waved her hands, saying, "What senior sister? I am just the first female disciple to enter the sect, and the junior brothers and sisters are just teasing me. Senior Brother is here."

She pointed her finger lightly at Zhao Honglan.

After the sky was completely bright, at the central martial arts arena, a middle-aged man came to the center of the venue, clasped his fists to the people present, gave a brief opening speech, and then flew to a main step outside the venue using his Qinggong skills.

He reached into a large wooden box and pulled out two wooden sticks.

There were words written on the sticks, but Lian Li couldn't see them clearly. Yun Huizhou could see them clearly, and he noticed that Lian Li had to squint to read them, so he explained, "There are names on them. The names written on the two sticks you draw are your opponents."

Lian Li nodded, and then asked: "With so many people and only one venue, how long will the competition end?"

"It will probably last for half a month." Yun Huizhou said uncertainly, looking at Zhao Honglan and asked, "Brother Zhao, how many people have signed up this time?"

Zhao Honglan also heard their conversation and knew that Lian Li didn't understand these things at all, so he answered carefully.

"Each sect can only nominate three disciples to participate, but some sects can only send less than three disciples, so the vacant spots will be given to other independent wanderers."

"Those martial artists without any sects just came here to register themselves. We did some rough screening a few days ago. The approximately 500 people who can enter the wooden box at this stage all have some real skills."

Although most of those who can get good rankings are disciples of famous schools, there are always some hermit bosses who do not belong to any school and take in disciples. After the disciples come down the mountain, they will participate in the competition held every three years.

This is also the most important stage of the martial arts conference. Many young knights who did not come from famous families and had no fame before became famous here.

Of course, there are some young knights whose timing is not so good, and whose first stop after going down the mountain is not the martial arts conference, but as long as they have real skills, they can always make a name for themselves within three years.

Lian Li thanked Zhao Honglan and tugged at Yun Huizhou's sleeve, asking him, "What about you? Which type are you?"

Yun Huizhou stroked his chin and smiled smugly: "No matter which one it is, I will definitely be in it."

Lian Li curled his lips and thought, isn't this the same as not saying anything?

The competition on the field proceeded very quickly, with almost no fierce fighting. This shows that even after screening, there was still a big gap in strength among the shortlisted candidates.

Yun Huizhou chatted with Zhao Honglan and Senior Sister Qu from time to time. Lian Li, as an outsider, could only watch the fun and did not participate much.

But he didn't care, he was just fascinated by it.

In the modern world, who can resist martial arts? Who hasn’t thought about being late for school and just flying over there using great martial arts skills?

Who hasn't thought that one day he would fall off a cliff and obtain a long-lost martial art?

Who hasn't thought about learning unique martial arts and showing off in front of everyone?

Yun Huizhou would have originally said a few words to him, explaining things to him so that he wouldn't be too bored.

As a result, he found that although this person didn't understand much, he was more fascinated by it than anyone else. He called out to him several times but got no response, so he just let him be.

It was not until the third day that Yun Huizhou's name was drawn, and by then there were not many names left in the wooden box, so the competition could be completed today.

Zhao Honglan had already performed on the second day, and Senior Sister Qu had participated three years ago.

Having won the championship that year, she naturally didn't need to participate this time.

Soon, the two people on the field exchanged their names and sects.

"Drunken Dream Island, Cloud Returns to the Boat."

"Yang Jiang."

Yun Huizhou's opponent seemed older than him and did not mention the name of his sect, which meant he was just an independent individual.

Zhao Honglan also introduced Yang Jiang to Lian Li, saying that he was a young knight with some fame.

As for whether Yun Huizhou was famous, Lian Li did not deliberately inquire.

However, after Yun Huizhou's opponent came on the court, he casually listened to the discussions of the people around him.

"I know Yang Jiang. I heard that he was the one who wiped out the gang of bandits outside Xiaobai Town, and he received a lot of rewards from the Wulin Alliance."

"Yes, I have heard that the leader of that gang of bandits was a second-rate master, and the other two leaders were also third-rate masters. There were hundreds of other bandits, and he wiped them all out by himself, and rescued many trapped women."

"Who is that guy across from you? He sounds like a disciple from a sect. But has anyone heard of Drunken Dream Island?"

"You don't even know about Zuimeng Island. Among the twenty-eight extraordinary masters in the martial arts world, five are on Zuimeng Island."

"Hiss~ So powerful, then Yang Jiang must be..."

"That's not necessarily true. Zuimeng Island is just a place name. There are many small islands nearby. Maybe the residents there don't have any profound martial arts skills?"
