Chapter 13 The County Competition
Half an hour later, Ren Jiang subtracted his skills and inserted his sword back into the scabbard. After breathing a long sigh, he turned to look at Lin Xiqi and asked, "Junior brother, are you doing something?"
"You can't see your senior brother practicing swordsmanship?" Lin Xiqi asked back.
"Yes, but you have to practice quickly, don't let the master talk about you again." Ren Jiang said with a smile.
"Hmph, don't underestimate me. After a while, you will definitely be shocked." Lin Xiqi snorted lightly.
"Oh? I'll write down your words. Then it depends on how you give us a surprise." Renjiang laughed loudly, and he obviously disagreed with Lin Xiqi's words.
Lin Xiqi knew that no one would believe his words, but he didn't care because he was already working hard.
"If you're fine, go back quickly. I'll continue practicing swordsmanship." Ren Jiang said after calming down a little.
"Senior Brother, are you working so hard?" Lin Xiqi asked.
"You can't do it if you don't fight hard, have you forgotten it? There is still half a month left to be the annual martial arts competition in our Dunhuang County." Renjiang said.
"Oh, senior brother, if you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten it." Lin Xiqi said in surprise, "Senior brother, you almost entered the top 100 in the group under the age of 20 last time. You should be very sure this time, right?"
"How can I be sure of it? I am twenty years old this year, which is the last chance in the youth group. Even if I am lucky enough to rush into one hundred, I am too old and my potential is far less than that of others who are younger than me." Ren Jiang shook his head and said.
Every state in the world holds such competitions every year, and these competitions usually take the top 100.
The juvenile group under the age of ten is the teenage group under the age of twenty, the youth group under the age of forty is the youth group under the age of sixty, the middle-aged group under the age of sixty, and the elderly group over the age of sixty.
In these five groups of competitions, the main ones were the youth group and the youth group.
The young group is too young and has a low foundation, while the young group can basically see a person's talent and potential.
If you perform well in the competition, you will be favored by some great sects in the world and become their disciples.
Such an opportunity is what disciples of major small sects dream of, because the skills and resources of small sects are not as good as those of those large sects.
Once a disciple shines in the competition and is brought into the sect by those major sects, it will not only be beneficial to this disciple, but also to this small sect.
If this disciple has a promising future, he will take care of the sect he once came out.
Even if you are unwilling to join those major sects, not to mention the top 100 in a state, even the top 100 in a county will be rewarded by the county magistrate.
The youth group basically doesn’t look at potential, it’s about strength. They generally don’t join other sects.
The purpose of their competition was to show their strength. Regardless of the court, famous sects in the world, and some merchants and wealthy families, they had the need to recruit masters. These recruited masters were made worshippers, guest officials, etc., and they were treated very well.
Middle-aged and elderly groups are generally not held very much, even if held once a decade.
When it was held, most people also saw it.
There are many ways to compete in this competition. It is not necessarily the two of them. Many times, some senior experts who are highly respected in the world are ranked the recent masters.
Those under the age of sixty are called the "Tiger List", and those over the age of sixty are called the "Dragon List".
The number of people in each session of the "Tiger List" is 100, and the number of people in each session of the "Dragon List" is 50.
When each of these two lists was held, it made the heroes of the world extremely crazy because it represented strength and fame and fortune.
The masters on the "Tiger List" are usually masters between the ages of forty and sixty. Of course, sometimes some young wizards under the age of forty are on the list.
The ‘Dragon List’ is usually a master over the age of 60. Similarly, there are some wizards who are less than 60 and have the strength to be on the list.
"Brother, you can definitely do it." Lin Xiqi said, "Brother, will you leave Fuyun Sect if you enter the first hundred years?"
"How is that possible?" Renjiang shook his head and said, "Junior brother, I participated in such a competition, that is, I wanted to compete with my peers and improve my strength. If I could rank one hundred, it would be good to get a reward. As for joining other sects, I never thought about it."
"But those major sects have better skills." Lin Xiqi said again.
"Even if you become a disciple of those major sects, you will have to wait for many years. Some Qiongqi generations cannot get any suitable sects. Those sects are fighting openly and secretly, intrigue, what's the good of such a life?" Renjiang smiled, "How can Fuyun Sect be so harmonious?"
"That's right." Lin Xiqi nodded.
"Junior brother, you are ten years old this year and can participate in the childhood group. Do you want to mention it to your master?" Renjiang asked.
"Forget it, the childhood group is boring. Am I bullying the young people by the big one? I will join the youth group next year." Lin Xiqi said.
After hearing Lin Xiqi's words, Ren Jiang smiled and said nothing, he just said it casually.
In fact, Renjiang is not optimistic about Lin Xiqi. Even if Lin Xiqi's age is the biggest limit in the childhood group, in terms of strength, some of the younger than Lin Xiqi are far above him.
Of course he knew how good Lin Xiqi was in martial arts. He should be said to be worse than those of the same age and had no chance to participate in the competition.
Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on Lin Xiqi's face, staring at Renjiang and laughing.
Ren Jiang was a little confused and asked curiously: "My junior brother, is there something dirty on my face?"
"No!" Lin Xiqi shook his head and said, "I was thinking that my senior brother just said that he was participating in the competition to compete with his peers. I don't think so."
"Then what do you think I'm for?" Ren Jiang asked with a chuckling.
"Then you have to ask? It must be for Senior Sister Zhang!" Renyue came here at some point and shouted loudly.
After saying that, he complained to Lin Xiqi: "Junior brother, you don't tell me if you take Xiaohu out for a walk, as it makes me easy to find."
Lin Xiqi laughed, ignored Renyue, and said to Renjiang: "Senior Brother, do you think so?"
Ren Jiang's face turned slightly red, and he coughed lightly, "Go and go, hurry up and go back, what's the point of chasing around!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiqi became even more excited: "Senior Brother, if you fail this time, be careful that Senior Sister Zhang will ignore you."
After saying that, Lin Xiqi ran away, Ren Yue shouted and scolded him from behind, and then begged for mercy.
It was obvious that the eldest senior brother Ren Jiang was touched by Lin Xiqi, and he was a little angry and embarrassed. He ran away. Ren Yue didn't react for a while and was scolded by Ren Jiang.
Lin Xiqi sat on a stone beside the path in front and waited for a while before seeing Ren Yue rushing up.
