After the three of them set off, Da Tou hesitated to speak, hesitating and stumbling, digging at the bag to get something out. He knew what he wanted to say and what he wanted to take. Before Da Tou could take out the house deed, he frowned and looked at him.

Went back.

Seeing that Datou was ashamed, nervous and restless, he said casually, "Brother Fu, you have a family. You can make do with it, but your family cannot live without a roof over their heads."

"It's disrespectful, I feel ashamed." Datou shook his head and said.

"After the competition, go back and bring your family to Chang'an." He said.

"If possible, I really want to go back, but they can't come," Datou shook his head and said, "There are still some elderly elders in Tianzanmen. If they come, no one will take care of those elders."

Hearing Da Tou's words, he didn't say anything else. Since they are Tiancan Sect, they are all disabled people and they do need someone to take care of them. Furthermore, Yang Kai's assassination also left him frightened. The internal fighting in the imperial court was fierce and murderous intent was everywhere. Living in Chang'an

It's not necessarily a good thing.

We arrived a quarter of an hour early. There were still a large number of onlookers around the square, but the number was significantly reduced compared to yesterday. After all, more than two thousand sects had been eliminated and left, and these were the few people.

There were originally nine arenas on the field, but now only four are left, located in the southeast, northwest and northwest.

Although there are fewer arenas, the area is larger. Each arena is twice the size of the previous one. The reason for this arrangement must be that the selected martial arts candidates have real talents and need a larger place for them to advance, retreat, attack and defend.

Since there were only 240 people left, they only needed to state their names and clans to verify their entry, and no number plates were distributed.

Different from yesterday's nervousness, since everyone has won the imperial examination, this time it seems much more relaxed. It would be best if you can be promoted to the martial arts examination, but even if you can't, you will still be a seventh-level martial arts examination candidate.

People entering the venue were divided into left and right according to the order of entry, and Datou was placed in the queue on the left, while Yang Kai was assigned to the queue on the right.

Today's examiners are still the Minister of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Minister of War, but they are not the three from yesterday. Each of the six departments of Officials, Rites, Husband, Punishment, Soldiers, and Gong has one minister and two ministers.

When the time comes, the examiner opens the wax envelope and reads out the rules for the day. The black and red teams draw lots, with the number one black number against the number one red number.

This rule is also very fair, no one knows what number they will draw.

Each team has one hundred and twenty people and two lottery tubes. After the military examiner draws out the lottery, it is directly shown to the deacon and captain. The latter shouts out the number drawn, and the pen-holder records it on the spot.

This arrangement is to prevent candidates from taking the wooden sign and changing it privately. The formulation of the rules can be described as

Extremely meticulous.

Although I have never met the emperor, I have some understanding of this person's character. Although there were martial arts competitions before, the competition was archery, horse riding, and archery. The rules must be different from this time. This martial arts competition was undoubtedly conducted by the emperor himself.

Through these rules, it is not difficult to see that the current emperor is thoughtful and thoughtful.

Furthermore, every time before the competition, the examiner official can open the wax envelope and know the rules, and the examiners will change at any time. This shows that the emperor does not trust these people. To put it bluntly, he is a little suspicious, but this is also normal, because

A careful person must be suspicious.

The black number drawn was ninety-two, the big number was black number eighty-five, and the red number drawn by Yang Kai was sixteen.

There are four arenas and one hundred and twenty pairs of opponents. On average, each arena requires thirty matches.

The fact that these 240 martial arts masters can stand out from more than 2,000 people shows that they all have real skills. Since they are all masters of the younger generation, it is not easy to tell the winner when they start fighting.

It is twice as big, and has more room to move around, so it is naturally more difficult to knock the opponent off the ring.

The final result is that the competition time is extended. Yesterday, some arenas could play seven or eight games in a quarter of an hour, but today some arenas cannot even finish one game.

The opponent in today's first match is a young woman. Women are weak in strength and have inherent disadvantages in martial arts training. There are less than 20 female athletes among the 240 people.

He spent most of the time watching the battle, and occasionally turned to look at his opponent. This man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, of medium height, with waist-length hair, a small round face, and big eyes, and was quite handsome.

While looking at this person, there were also many people taking secret glances at this person. The reason was that this person was wearing a tight-fitting black suit like a night suit, with the front protruding and the back protruding, making him very irritating.

Although the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was much more relaxed than that of the previous dynasties, and there were some women who wore bolder clothes, it was rare to see someone as bold as this person. The tights on this young woman's body were made of black silk.

Although the top and bottom are not lost, Le's outline is fully visible, which is very eye-catching.

He was young and had not yet reached the peak of his youth. He only regarded this person as his opponent. The nails on the ten fingers of this person's hands were very long, and they were obviously deliberately trimmed. They were extremely sharp. Even a fool could see this.

What people are good at is claw skills.

Women's physical strength is weaker than men's, and they cannot overcome difficulties. Women's martial arts training usually involves a combination of physical skills and speed.

Kung Fu, and because of lack of strength, the attacks are often ruthless and tricky, focusing on key points.

While looking this person up and down, the young woman seemed to be aware of it, turned her head and squinted, and when she saw him looking at her, she glanced at him with hatred, at the same time she snorted with disdain and turned her head arrogantly.

He rolled his eyes for no reason, feeling a little frustrated and frustrated. After taking a deep breath, he turned his attention back to the competition ring.

At this time, the competitions in all the arenas were fierce, and they were all fierce battles. The advantages of both sides were not very obvious.

The big waves wash away the sand, the survival of the fittest, and those who can win consecutive battles are all masters. There is no such thing as being unappreciated in the world. The so-called unappreciated talent is just a lack of ability. It is impossible for truly talented people to be buried. Sooner or later, they will emerge and stand out.

Yang Kai's opponent is a young man dressed in luxurious clothes. He is tall and has a wide range of moves. Although he does not know what sect this man belongs to, the martial arts he uses clearly have shadows of Buddhist techniques.

Yang Kai was half a head shorter than his opponent. From the beginning of the competition, he attacked less and defended more. The opponent seized the opportunity and then became aggressive, shouting and exerting force, attacking with all his strength, and soon forced Yang Kai to the edge of the ring.

Datou was quite nervous, but he was not worried because he had seen Yang Kai fighting with the fat monk Ling Guang. Yang Kai's movement skills were very flexible, far beyond the level he showed today. The reason why Yang Kai had reservations was that

There must be a deep meaning.

After forcing Yang Kai to the edge of the ring, the man in Chinese clothes swung out his right fist, directly hitting Yang Kai's upper body. Yang Kai could not dodge to the left or right and could only dodge backwards.

Seeing Yang Kai's body leaning back, the man in Chinese clothes saw the opportunity, turned around and kicked out, and swept Yang Kai's lower body with his left leg.

Most people's left legs and left hands are not as flexible as their right feet and right hands, and this person is no exception. The left leg he sweeps out is slightly weaker and not fast enough.

Yang Kai was waiting for the opportunity in front of him. He quickly stood up, raised his left arm sharply, tucked the left leg of the man in Chinese clothes under his armpit, then quickly spun on the spot, using energy and strength, and threw the opponent out of the ring.

The man in Chinese clothes stumbled to the ground and finally managed to regain his footing. His eyes were full of surprise and anger.

Not far from the man in gorgeous clothes, you can clearly see his eyes. This guy was still confused until now. In fact, he did not lose unexpectedly when he had an advantage, but lost from the beginning. He felt

He had the advantage but Yang Kai wanted him to feel that way.

Although each fight today was very long, it did not feel boring because compared with yesterday's fight, today's fight was

The level of both sides of the conflict has obviously improved a lot, and there is value in taking a closer look and thinking about it.

However, the mood of the spectators outside the field was completely opposite to his. As the saying goes, experts watch the door and laymen watch the excitement. These spectators like to watch shouting and jumping up and down.

Although Yang Kai seemed to have a narrow victory, he actually won calmly, but Da Tou really had a narrow victory. He was too short, with short hands and short legs, so he couldn't hit the opponent at all. His special move was to lie on the ground, roll, stumble and charge, this kind of

The moves would be more powerful if used in a small space, but the arena was twice as big as yesterday, so the opponent had enough room to move around.

Big Tou's unique skill is not useless. In fact, his rolling while lying on the ground is very powerful, but the prerequisite is that he must hold a dagger or short knife in his hand. Weapons are not allowed to be used in the ring. He can neither cut his legs nor cut his legs.

He couldn't insert his feet. After being kicked several times, he finally found an opportunity to hold the opponent's ankles and knock him down. Then he rushed up quickly and kicked the opponent's back of the head hard with his two short legs, which were about a foot long.

Kicked the opponent unconscious.

Near noon, it was finally my turn to take the stage.

Once on the stage, no one watched the fights in the other three arenas. Everyone's attention shifted to the arena where he was. Looking at him was just one of the reasons. Most of them were looking at the long-haired woman in a black tights.

.

The two sides were in opposition, and as usual they bowed their heads and said, "Infinite Heavenly Lord, the three sons of Longhu Mountain."

The woman in black glanced disdainfully again, then raised her hand reluctantly, "Wu Qing Palace, Bai Yao."

I was suffocated when I was glanced at by the other party for no reason before, but this time when I saw the other party looking at me for no reason, and there was a lot of disdain in his eyes, I was angry in my heart, I frowned and asked, "I didn't offend you, you always look at me.

What to do?"

Bai Yao didn't expect such a question. After being stunned, he cast a disdainful look at me again, "My intentions are evil and my words are vulgar."

I was labeled as having evil intentions for no reason. I was confused and angry, "What did I do to make me have evil intentions?"

Bai Yao didn't answer, he just raised his head proudly and snorted coldly.

I was already disgusted when I saw the other party acting pretentiously and pretending to be noble. When I saw her slandering me for no reason, I became even more angry. According to the rules, the examiner should announce the start of the competition at this time, but there was no movement behind him.

After turning around, he realized that several examiners were smiling at him to show their goodwill. It turned out that these three guys had misunderstood and thought that he wanted to talk to Bai Yao and so they deliberately delayed it.
Chapter completed!
