Chapter 170 The biggest winner
At 3:00 a.m. on March 1, 20th year of Jianping, in the giant martial arts training ground of Tianxing Pavilion, all teams participating in the Tianxing Pavilion's outing ceremony had gathered here.
Song Yan, the manager of Tianxing Pavilion, was still the one who presided over the departing ceremony. He first reiterated the number of places in the departing ceremony, which will increase from 32 in the previous session to 64.
Among them, the royal family occupied 16 seats, including the Xie family in the capital, the Wei family in the capital, the Luo family in the capital, the Zhou family in the capital, the Lin family in the Weizhou Prefecture and the Li family in the Zhennan province, each of which has three seats.
The grouping of each round of competition will be determined by the draw of lots.
Next, the manager Song Yan asked eleven disciples of Tianxing Pavilion who were about to leave the army to appear one by one in front of everyone.
In addition to paying attention to these eleven disciples of Tianxing Pavilion, Li Bin also paid attention to Chen Jun, Xing Tao and Zhang Jiayin. According to the introduction of Han Yu, the leader of Tianxing Pavilion, Chen Jun, Xing Tao and Zhang Jiayin should be the three with the best martial arts among the nine remaining master warriors.
Chen Jun and Xing Tao are both about 1.9 meters tall. Chen Jun’s weapon is a long sword, and Xing Tao’s weapon is an iron spear.
Zhang Jiayin was shorter, but he was about 1.85 meters tall. Zhang Jiayin's weapon was a wide-blade machete weighing 70 kilograms.
Sixty-four contestants who participated in the competition soon completed the draw for the first round of competition under the arrangement of some other disciples of Tianxing Pavilion.
The opponent Fan Kuai drew in the first round of the competition was a player from the Cui family in Beijing, the opponent Long Qi drew in the first round of the competition was a player from the Lu family in Xinzhou Prefecture, the opponent from Yuwen Chengdu drew in the first round of the competition was a player from the Du family in Beijing, and the opponent Gao Chong drew in the first round of the competition was a player from the Luo family in Beijing.
In order to seize the time, the first round of thirty-two competitions were held at the same time.
After the first round of competition ended, Fan Kuai, Long Qi, Yuwen Chengdu and Gao Chong advanced to the second round of competition without any surprise.
What surprised Li Bin was that the major generals and the contestants sent by the royal family to participate in the competition this time basically had the strength of a master warrior, and many people made their debut in front of other forces for the first time.
Xie Yingying saw Li Bin's doubts and whispered to Li Bin: "Husband, the Thirteen Generals have controlled the military power of Dayan for hundreds of years. Each family secretly does not know how much strength it has hidden. For example, the Grandmaster Warriors who are considered to be rare. As far as I know, the Xie family now has at least more than twelve people, and maybe even more. Perhaps only the head of the family knows how many Grandmaster Warriors there are in the Xie family."
Li Bin frowned and said, "I'm just a little strange. At the last launch ceremony of Tianxing Pavilion, the contestants who were sected by major generals and sects to participate in the competition were not as strong. You should know that there were only 32 people participating in the competition that time, and many of them were Warriors."
Xie Yingying pondered for a moment and said, "Husband, the Thirteen Generals have been hiding their strengths and resting for many years. However, now the royal family has controlled six inner guards and imperial guards by attacking the Jinluo Kingdom, and has formed an imperial guards directly controlled by the emperor. I believe that this time, the Thirteen Generals sent so many master warriors to participate in the Tianxing Pavilion's launch ceremony, and hopes to prevent the royal family from having more disciples from Tianxing Pavilion."
Li Bin nodded slightly. All the sixteen people who participated in the competition in the royal family were masters of the master level, but after the first round of competition, only five people successfully advanced to the second round. Even Li Bin's former old subordinate Sha Lei was defeated by a fierce general from the Lin family of Weizhou Prefecture in the first round of competition.
During the competition, other players from the goalkeepers faced the royal family and obviously they had to fight more fiercely.
After the first round of the competition, the faces looked very ugly. The four master warriors they sent to participate in the competition were all defeated in the first round of the competition. The eleven disciples of the Tianxing Pavilion who had already had nothing to do with them.
The expressions of the Crown Prince Zhao Chang, King of Jin Zhao Yu and King of Qin Zhao Jian also seemed a little solemn. After the first round of competition, one of the three of them was eliminated.
In addition, the six master warriors selected by Emperor Zhao Zhe from the Imperial Army were only Shen Kui and an Imperial Army deputy brigade named Yu Dan, who entered the second round of the competition.
King Zhao Yu of Jin lowered his voice and said to the prince Zhao Chang: "Brother, it seems that the major generals have exposed their hidden strength for the launch ceremony of the Tianxing Pavilion. Many people who participated in the first round of martial arts competition have never heard of it before."
Crown Prince Zhao Chang said helplessly: "The major generals are obviously blocking our royal family, making it impossible for our royal family to recruit more disciples from the Tianxing Pavilion."
The Qin King Zhao Jian next to him sighed and said, "I just hope that Wang Jingbiao will not meet the four powerful generals under Zhennan Hou in the second round of martial arts competition. Otherwise, my Qin King's Mansion will be incomplete in this Tianxing Pavilion ceremony."
Wang Jingbiao was a powerful general recruited by King Zhao Jian of Qin two years ago, and also had the cultivation of a master warrior. He is currently a brigade leader of the Right Yigu Imperial Guard, and his weapon is an eighty-pound long axe.
Although the Tang family in the capital still supported the Qin King Zhao Jian behind the scenes, the Tang family in the capital sent a team to participate in the launch ceremony of this Tianxing Pavilion.
Originally, Tang Yunzhao, the eldest son of Tang Zhibin, the head of the Tang family, actually represented the Tianxing Pavilion King Zhao Jian to fight. Tang Yunzhao also participated in the competition at this Tianxing Pavilion, but he represented the Tang family in the capital.
The same is true for the Cui family in the capital behind the Crown Prince Zhao Chang, the Luo family in the capital behind the King of Jin Zhao Yu, the Zhou family in the capital behind the King of Song Zhao Zhi, and the Cao family in the capital behind the King of Yue Zhao Jing. This time, they all sent their own teams to participate in the Tianxing Pavilion's launch ceremony.
Although each of the five generals supports one prince, eleven disciples of Tianxing Pavilion were suddenly promoted during the Tianxing Pavilion ceremony, not to mention Zhu Yu and Ju Jing, two powerful generals with natural divine power. The Cui family, Luo family, Tang family, Zhou family and Cao family did not agree to give the quota for the competition to the princes they supported for their own interests.
The more you fear, you will come. In the second round of competition, Wang Jingbiao unfortunately got a group with Long Qi, which means that only one of Wang Jingbiao and Long Qi can advance to the third round of competition.
When King Zhao Jian of Qin saw such a lottery result, he felt a little crying and tears.
Sure enough, after Wang Jingbiao fought with Long Qi, Wang Jingbiao only persisted for more than ten moves, and the long axe in his hand was picked up by Long Qi's iron spear, and he had to take the initiative to admit defeat.
In the second round of the competition, the master warrior under King Zhao Yu of Jin drew a powerful general from the Xie family and was also defeated in the competition.
In the end, the royal family had only the personal bodyguard commander of the Crown Prince Zhao Chang, and the Imperial Army led Shen Kui and the Imperial Army deputy brigade led Yu Dan, and successfully advanced to the third round of the competition.
There are eleven disciples from Tianxing Pavilion in this class, and there are sixteen players who have advanced to the third round of the competition. Even if eight of them cannot advance to the next round, eight players who have lost the election can compete for the ninth, tenth and eleventh. As long as they enter the top eleventh, they will have the opportunity to recruit disciples from Tianxing Pavilion in this class.
The four generals under Li Bin, Fan Kuai, Long Qi, Yuwen Chengdu, and Gao Chong all advanced to the top 16 smoothly. However, during the draw of the third round of competition, Li Bin was still a little nervous. He prayed that Fan Kuai, Long Qi, Yuwen Chengdu, and Gao Chong should not meet in advance.
Compared with King Zhao Jian of Qin, Li Bin still has the halo of the protagonist. In the draw of the third round of martial arts competition, Fan Kuai, Long Qi, Yuwen Chengdu, and Gao Chong avoided each other.
However, in the third round of competition, Gao Chong drew Shen Kui from the Imperial Guard.
Before Gao Chong came on the court, Li Bin whispered to Gao Chong: "Shen Kui is known as the number one master of the Imperial Guard. After you come on the court, you must not be careless, be careful."
Gao Chong nodded and said, "Don't worry, lord, I will be careful."
Shen Kui's weapon was also an iron spear, but its weight was much lighter than Gao Chong's gold-engraved tiger-head spear weighing 260 kilograms, and it weighed only 120 kilograms.
Because Xie Yingying married Li Bin, Shen Kui was very displeased with Li Bin and even had some hatred. If he had the chance, Shen Kui would not mind killing a general under Li Bin during the Tianxing Pavilion ceremony to relieve the hatred in his heart.
However, facing Gao Chong, who is famous in the capital, Shen Kui knew that it was impossible to kill Gao Chong in the competition. If he couldn't do it well, he would have to stop in the third round of competition.
After Gao Chong and Shen Kui fought, Shen Kui couldn't help but complain. Gao Chong's strength was much greater than his and his marksmanship was extremely superb. It seemed that he could only compete with others for the ninth, tenth and eleventh.
Shen Kui, the number one master of the Imperial Guard, barely persisted for more than thirty moves under Gao Chong's hands, and had to take the initiative to admit defeat.
Yu Dan, another master of the Imperial Guard, met Tang Yunzhao from the Tang family in the capital in the third round of the competition. He fought with Tang Yunzhao for more than 70 moves, but eventually lost. Tang Yunzhao successfully advanced to the fourth round of the competition.
The only personal guard commander of the royal family, Lu Kui, was promoted to the quarterfinals, and the other three powerful generals under Li Bin defeated their opponents and advanced to the top eight in this competition.
The other two players who advanced to the quarterfinals were Xie Rong from the Xie family in Beijing and Pan Tangyue from the Pan family in Yuzhou Prefecture. Xie Rong was the commander of the Xie family, and Pan Tangyue was a child of the Pan family.
In the group draw of the fourth round of the competition, Fan Kuai and Long Qi were drawn into a group, Yuwen Chengdu and Pan Tangyue drew into a group, Gao Chong and Tang Yunzhao drew into a group, Lu Kui and Xie Rong drew into a group.
After Fan Kuai and Long Qi came on the court, the two did not fight. Long Qi directly admitted defeat, allowing Fan Kuai to be promoted to the semi-finals, and Long Qi would compete with the other three losers for the fifth to eighth rankings.
Yuwen Chengdu and Gao Chong both successfully defeated their opponents in the fourth round of competition and advanced to the semi-finals. In this way, three of the top four were won by Li Bin in the competition at the Tianxing Pavilion departure ceremony.
Another player who was promoted to the semi-finals was Lu Kui, the personal bodyguard leader of Prince Zhao Chang. However, although Lu Kui won the battle with Xie Rong, he was also injured by both sides and could no longer continue to participate in the semi-finals.
Li Bin looked at Lu Kui, who was pale and still had blood on his lips, and then said to the head of the Tianxing Pavilion Han Yu: "People Master Han, it seems that there is no need to play in the semi-finals and finals anymore. Next, we can compete for fifth to eleventh place."
Han Yu sighed and said, "The command of Zhennan Hou is indeed a fierce general. If Fan Kuai and Long had not drawn a group in the fourth round, the semi-finals of today's competition would have to be owned by Zhennan Hou. Then we will start to compete for the fifth to eleventh place!"
In the end, Long Qi won fifth place, Pan Tangyue of the Pan family in Yuzhou Prefecture won sixth place, Tang Yunzhao won seventh place, Xie Rong, the commander of the Xie family in the capital, won eighth place, Shen Kui led Shen Kui to ninth place, a master of the Du family in the capital, and a master of the Lin family in Weizhou Prefecture won eleventh place.
Li Bin first chose Zhu Yu, Ju Jing and Chen Jun, the three disciples of Tianxing Pavilion. The prince Zhao Chang then chose Zhang Jiayin. Li Bin then chose Xing Tao with the fifth place he won. It can be said that Li Bin became the biggest winner of the Tianxing Pavilion's launch ceremony.
The remaining six disciples of Tianxing Pavilion were immediately selected by each family. There was no situation in the previous Shi Su in this term. The eleven disciples of Tianxing Pavilion who came out of this term agreed to the recruitment of each family.
Mukhtar, the left guardian of the Holy Sword Sect who watched the Tianxing Pavilion's departure ceremony, couldn't help but sigh and said to the sixteen Holy Sword Sect disciples around him: "There is a saying in the Great Yan Empire, "There is someone else but there is a heaven outside the sky. Now I finally understand the meaning of this sentence. Our Holy Sword Sect has always regarded itself as the world's number one sect. However, this time, the sixteen most outstanding disciples of our Holy Sword Sect have been promoted to Purple-Bright Knights, but they were swept by two disciples of Tianxing Pavilion in the competition. Today we even saw sixty-four Purple-Bright Knights of the Great Yan Empire competing. What an incredible thing!"
Dimusad, a disciple of the Holy Sword Sect, immediately asked in shock: "Teacher, the 64 contestants who compete today really have the strength of the Purple Knight?"
Dimusad is a personal disciple of the left guardian Mukhtar, so he directly calls Mukhtar the teacher.
Mukhtar, the left guardian of the Holy Sword Sect, nodded and said, "Based on my years of experience, every contestant who participated in the competition today must have the strength of the Purple Knight, that is, the strength of the warrior of the Great Yan Empire."
"Teacher, our Holy Sword Sect must find a way to promote the alliance between our Tuzzi Empire and the Great Yan Empire. Just by today's competition, it is enough to see how powerful the Great Yan Empire is. No wonder many people in our Tuzzi Empire think that the Great Yan Empire is the veritable world's number one power. With the alliance of the Great Yan Empire, our Tuzzi Empire does not need to be afraid of the Roland Empire!"
