Chapter 25 [Ring Challenge]
The Rising Sun Martial Arts Hall is much larger than the sword hall, the buildings inside are much more grand, and there are many disciples. The various martial arts props made Xiao Shitou, Ah Hua and others envious. Although Shen Lang had already configured some new ones and replaced some old ones after that, it could not be compared with the four top martial arts halls such as the Rising Sun Martial Arts Hall.
The reason why Lin Ping accepted Shen Lang's proposal for a ring competition this time was that the bet was only a trivial one. More importantly, he felt that Shen Lang was able to survive in the county town in a short period of time, which was very not easy, and his strength made Lin Ping unable to see through. Although he wanted to compete with Shen Lang, he hesitated and did not make any mention.
Along the way, many people who met Lin Ping greeted him respectfully or enthusiastically. Many disciples even stood by when they saw him, waiting for them to walk over before continuing to set off. Shen Lang couldn't help but sigh that the quality of the disciples was high. Then he looked at Chen Lei, Ahua, Azhu and others, and couldn't help but shake their heads.
From the beginning, these children were free from raising their children and have not been taken back yet.
The ring is located behind the martial arts hall and was built yesterday. Although it is a bit simple, I can understand it when I think it is just a contest between junior disciples.
When they arrived next to the ring, many disciples from the Rising Sun Martial Arts Hall were a little curious. Then they learned that someone was coming to the door to fight, and they were immediately excited.
Young people are best for a passionate duel. Although they are all junior disciples and some of them have only been practicing for a month, they are already very interested in the battle. Jinyang County is very popular, and there are many public arenas on the streets.
Shen Lang called Chen Lei aside and asked him to warm up according to his usual methods. Ah Hua, Azhu and Awang could walk around. Soon they were surrounded by disciples from the Rising Martial Arts Hall and asked questions about their length and weakness.
"Our Senior Brother Chen is amazing. He is the number one master in our temple, second only to his master. Few of his peers are his opponents. He is a martial arts genius!" As soon as Ah Hua spoke with her big mouth, she seemed a little arrogant, especially in front of these young men in the Rising Martial Arts Hall.
Seeing that the other peers around him looked a little unkind, Azhu immediately pulled Ahua's arm anxiously, but she didn't notice it at all. Awang didn't care. In front of his pitiful experience, she really thought Xiao Shitou was quite powerful. Anyway, every time she fought with him, she would be beaten down within three moves, and now she had already fallen down in one move.
"boast!"
"That's right, what is your sword hall? Can you compare with our Rising Sun Martial Arts Hall?"
"Genius? I see that you have too shallow knowledge. If your senior brother is capable, force our Senior Brother Lianchang out and you will know what a genius is."
"Senior Brother Lianchang? It's impossible. How could Senior Brother Lianchang participate in this competition?"
"I'll just talk. When any of us goes up to teach the guy from the Yujian Hall a lesson, let him get off the stage in shame!"
"Hahaha...well said."
Gradually, the disciples of the Xuri Martial Arts Hall laughed disdainfully, which made Ah Hua and the others look very ugly, and the two sides even started arguing.
Chen Lei also heard the sound of cheering around him and was immediately angry. Ah Hua and others were his fellow disciples and friends, but now they were ridiculed by others, and they suddenly felt an unbearable feeling in their hearts.
"Avoid arrogance and impatience, can't stand this level of provocation?" Shen Lang patted his shoulder and said in a stern tone.
Chen Lei lowered his head, nodded, then took a few deep breaths and calmed down, but the ridicule over there did not seem to have diminished, but instead became louder.
Lin Ping is not nearby at this time, so he probably has something to go. To be honest, today's ring match has no weight. If the other party had not seen Shen Lang's sake, he would not have accepted it.
But at this time, several other martial artists from the martial arts hall were watching indifferently, which made Shen Lang a little dissatisfied. No matter what, the arrival of the sword hall on your territory is a guest. The ring match is an open competition between the warriors. Can't you restrain your disciples?
Shen Lang walked over, and the martial artists saw this and immediately came over. The two people came together. The disciples on both sides also noticed a strange thing and couldn't help but calm down.
The martial artists looked at Shen Lang with a hint of provocation, and looked at Shen Lang disdainfully. Shen Lang was also looking at them. The three martial artists in front of him had the only cultivation of the man in the middle of the normal state, and the other two were just people outside the realm. They were generally over 30 years old, and the most achievement in this life was the normal state, and they could not even enter.
A sense of oppression came, and the martial arts master Qi Long felt a little uneasy. Chen Tao and Li Yang next to him also changed their faces. The oppression brought to them by Shen Lang seemed to be stronger than that of Teacher Lin, which made the three of them suddenly deteriorate.
When the disciples of the Xuri Martial Arts Hall saw that the three martial artists on his side faced Shen Lang, their faces were ugly, and even one of them was sweating, they were stunned. The momentum between the warriors was oppressed, and the two of them had similar cultivation and state of mind. This would not happen. Then there was only one explanation. No matter what Chen Lei on the opposite side, at least Chen Lei's master was very strong.
In one corner on one side of the ring, a young man in white surrounded by several teenagers and women in the shadows, his eyes staring at Shen Lang changed a little. He is Lian Chang, the most outstanding among the lowest-class disciples in the Rising Sun Martial Arts Hall.
"Master!" Lian Chang slowly said this word, and the other companions next to him were suddenly surprised, because even Lin Ping and Lian Chang did not use this word to describe it.
Seeing that the other party's arrogance had been suppressed, Shen Lang withdrew his momentum and called Ah Hua and the other two to his side and asked, "Can you start?"
"Yes...yes!" Qi Long nodded, turned around and walked away, suddenly feeling a cool feeling behind his back. It turned out that his back was already wet.
Chen Lei, Ahua and others were very happy with Shen Lang's performance, so after listening to some advice, Chen Lei rushed around and clasped his fists and jumped onto the ring.
Qi Long and the other two discussed a little, and then sent out three disciples to fight.
It doesn't have to play three games. If Chen Lei loses in the first game or cannot stick to the second game, then the end will be announced directly.
These three disciples from the Rising Martial Arts Hall are fourteen-year-old Zhuge Yun, fifteen-year-old Wu Qiong and sixteen-year-old Zhang Yibin. Qi Long also has his own considerations for choosing these three disciples. First, they cannot be over three years old. Secondly, in terms of martial arts practice, the longer they go. For example, Zhang Yibin has been in the Martial Arts Hall for three years. Although his talent is limited and he has not been able to enter the normal state, he is also an excellent person under the normal state. It is most appropriate to use him to guard the last level.
Although Zhuge Yun and Wu Qiong are a little younger, one is brave and the other is smart, which makes it difficult for the opponent to adapt to changes and lose.
In contrast, Chen Lei looks a bit ordinary. Although the young man is heroic, he is still not calm enough. Moreover, it is inevitable that he is a little nervous when he participates in such a challenge for the first time.
"I'll ask for advice!" Shortly after Shen Lei came to the stage, a low-sized disciple jumped up and landed on the ring, looking clean and neat, which immediately attracted a burst of cheers from the people around him.
The first person is Zhuge Yun. Although he is only fourteen years old, he looks taller and stronger. Compared to the free disciple recruitment in the Yujian Hall, the cost of apprenticeship in the Rising Martial Arts Hall is not expensive, and the family background of these disciples is also quite wealthy, so in terms of appearance, physical fitness is much better.
Chen Lei was a little nervous at this time and inadvertently looked at Shen Lang in the stands. However, Shen Lang was closing his eyes and pondering, as if he was not paying attention to the ring.
"Yes... Master cares about such a game? It seems that only senior brother Lian Chang who is forced out of the Rising Martial Arts Hall." Thinking of this, Chen Lei suddenly calmed down and quickly relieved his slightly nervous mood.
Zhuge Yun exhaled and heard Chen Lei's expression unstable. He knew that he was a little nervous, so he took the lead in taking action.
He stepped forward with a single arm in his right hand, causing a sound of breaking the wind, which showed great power.
The fist wind fell, and Zhuge Yun felt a flash in front of him, and his punch was empty. Then someone stuck on the right side of his body and suddenly ran out.
After a staggering moment, Zhuge Yun's face changed drastically. He hurriedly stole his horse and kept his body in a steady state. At this time, he still saw Chen Lei's starting style of responding to changes.
Many people could see this time that Chen Lei's reaction was very fast and his body movements were also very fast. On the contrary, Zhuge Yun, who underestimated the enemy, had solid basic skills, otherwise he would be knocked out after a meeting.
Zhuge Yun said intimately that it was dangerous, then became cautious and began to circle around Chen Lei to find flaws.
Although Chen Lei usually escapes, he is very calm at this time. Faced with Zhuge Yun's continuous wandering, he constantly adjusts his direction and always keeps facing him head-on.
After all, Zhuge Yun was still a little impatient, shouted loudly, suddenly stepped forward, punched out again, this time he took Chen Lei's left rib.
Chen Lei stretched out the block, but he was stunned. Zhuge Yun's laughter sounded in his ears: "Lying down!"
Zhuge Yun jumped up in the sky, threw out a whip leg, and came towards him, and the wind was shining.
Seeing that Chen Lei was about to be kicked by this leg, the other disciples of the Xuri Martial Arts Hall shouted happily. Ah Hua, Azhu and Awang suddenly leaned together nervously, but Shen Lang was still in the same state as the ancient well without a wave at this time.
"Bang!" Zhuge Yun threw his leg out and landed on the ground. Suddenly, a phased sound came from the ring, but it fell to nothing again.
"Be careful behind!" At this time, the people around him suddenly reminded him loudly. Zhuge Yun suddenly said terrible in his heart, but a strong force came from behind, and was kicked out of the ring and landed on the ground.
Zhuge Yun beat the ground in annoyance, but could only retreat in shame. The first game - Chen Lei won!
Ah Hua and others hugged each other happily to celebrate Chen Lei. Then the two girls kicked Ah Wang, who had taken advantage of it, causing the disciples of the Xuri Martial Arts Hall to laugh.
Shen Lang opened his eyes at this time, and Chen Lei just came over, as if he wanted to get a hint of praise from him. Shen Lang nodded, showed a smile, and then continued to close his eyes. Chen Lei instantly became full of fighting spirit.
