Chapter 152 Falling Behind

Due to the ancient jade incident at Baiyun Martial Arts Academy, some students were taken away for investigation. They were found to be members of the Demon Cult, so they were uniformly examined, and many people were directly exposed and died.

Thus began a review of the family.

Unexpectedly, many small families were found to be vassals of the Demon Sect.

It resulted in chaos.

The very next day, something happened to Ding Jingran's Ding family. The three major families in the city suddenly joined forces to deal with the Ding family, suppressing them in all aspects.

The Ding family was isolated and helpless and was forced to shrink.

Then several big families in neighboring cities also cut off business contacts with the Ding family.

The Ding family suddenly worsened, and at the same time, the annual task list for guarding the main hall was issued.

The Ding family was devastated: there was no chance of completing the task.

It seems that it is already the fourth quarter, and all tasks cannot be completed.

Moreover, several masters in the family were challenged by other families and were injured one after another.

The guardian of the main hall came out to mediate the conflicts among the major families, but found that the grievances were too deep, involving several generations, and could not be reconciled.

So we had to strictly stipulate that no large-scale fighting was allowed.

They also sent people to the Ding family to ensure the safety of the area.

These measures are completely reasonable and consistent with past practices.

Under such circumstances, the Night Demon Cult did not dare to take action at all, and could only watch the Ding family decline step by step.

He was about to slip out of the eighth-level family queue and fall to the ninth level.

Even level nine is not the end.

…

Then registration for the triennial martial arts competition began.

Contents of the competition: Five representatives from each of the five levels will participate in the competition.

Competition time: December 15th to 30th.

Rules: Arena format, winner takes all.

Location: Kyoto Tenjin Buin.

After the rules came down, the major martial arts schools immediately started competitions within their schools.

If you win the top three in the competition, the martial arts academy's annual resources will increase by 30%; if you win the first place, the annual resources will double.

There are also resource rewards for the fourth to eighth levels.

Moreover, after students graduate, the quotas in each guard hall will also be relaxed.

Students who perform outstandingly in the comparison will be recorded in the main hall and will be admitted directly after graduation.

It is equivalent to taking the public examination directly.

So everyone was very enthusiastic.

Not to mention the other four levels, in the first grade, Mo Ganyun and others all looked gloomy.

Now, there are only five of them playing together. Xie Gongping sometimes comes, but he can only practice by himself from a distance.

Alone, very lonely.

But Xie Gongping also got angry.

No matter what, he is like a lone wolf. He goes out to do tasks every day. After submitting the tasks and receiving credits, he enters the spiritual energy gravity training room.

Practice yourself to death every day.

Whenever I have free time, I go to the small school field to participate in the battle.

Although no one in the small group paid attention to him, it did not prevent him from challenging.

Every time he challenged me, he no longer called him "Fifth Brother or Sixth Brother". Although he was beaten violently every time, he never flinched.

On the contrary, it became more and more severe.

If no one agrees to his challenge, he will start a fight directly and hit you with his fists until you accept the challenge!

Now, another day has passed.

During the break, Song in the Rain looked gloomy: "Boss Fang has been lying down for three days. When I went to see him, it was said that there was no improvement."

Everyone else also lowered their heads.

"All our medicines have been sent to us, and we are still taking them, but... we haven't seen any effects."

"The mountain chief and others have also come up with suitable materials and treasures, but they have no effect."

"Why……"

Qiu Yunshang sighed: "There is also the martial arts competition, have you all passed?"

"Passed. It's just a trivial matter; among the same level, no one is stronger than the five of us."

Jing Shuanggao said calmly: "It's basically the five of us. There shouldn't be any objection to this."

"What about him?"

Mo Dare Yunnu pursed her lips and looked askance at Xie Gongping.

"He has made rapid progress during this period, but... he is not yet there." Yu Zhongge said with the corner of his mouth raised.

"What should we do?"

"We will tell you what to do after Boss Fang recovers. None of us are qualified to forgive him."

"That's true, but what if Boss Fang cannot recover?"

"Then Xie Gongping will never be able to come in again!"

"Even if Boss Fang recovers, it is still unknown whether Xie Gongping can come in again."

"Yes."

Yu Zhongge breathed a sigh of relief and said: "No need to talk about him, no matter what, he can't get in."

"Why?" everyone asked.

"Our participation in major martial arts competitions is basically determined. Therefore, in the future, until the competition begins, the martial arts academy will open all resources to us and provide special training. These are things that Xie Gongping cannot do

Enjoyable. This is one of them.”

Song in the Rain said: "Once the competition starts, it will be even more obvious. Because this is the martial arts competition in the whole continent. After fighting one after another, we have to face all kinds of strange moves and techniques. Every day

There are more than three battles, and in every battle, you must go all out."

"It can be said that our strength is soaring every day."

Several people nodded silently to this statement.

This is true.

In that kind of environment, even if you are injured, your strength will soar.

Experience, lessons, combat awareness, and constant squeezing of one's own potential, as well as a massive amount of natural and earthly treasures that are replenished with the battle...

It is not nonsense to say that every day is a new world.

"How will Xie Gongping catch up with us after we return from this big competition? He can no longer keep up, and will be farther away by then."

"Now he can come here shamelessly to spar and fight. He will be defeated within a few moves or a dozen moves, but by then, he won't even be able to survive one move! Half a move!"

"How to get in?"

Song in the Rain sighed softly and said: "This is the path of martial arts."

"Sometimes, you also have to think about it. It's not that we rejected him, but that he rejected himself. Because as our strength increases, the tasks we go out to do become more and more intense. We can handle it. He

May I?"

"Do you want him to die outside, or do we want to be his nanny all the time?"

Yu Zhongge sighed and said, "That's why I kicked him out resolutely that day, not all because of Boss Fang's business."

"It will be much more harmful to let him withdraw in the future than it is now."

"He can't keep up."

Can't keep up.

These few words made the other four people fall silent in unison.

Yes, this kind of thing is very cruel.

But it must be faced.

Every team that moves forward will not stop waiting because any one of them falls behind!
