Chapter 237: Battle for the Human Ranking
There are six gates in the school yard in Zhoujun, with rammed earth as the foundation and four high platforms for review.
The high platform in the north is where Liumen, the Wang family of Zhoujun, the Huanhua Sword Sect, and the Huang family of Yedu watch the battle. The remaining three high platforms are crowded with people from all walks of life, all of whom are excited and excited.
Although there are many young masters with the strength of Renbang, they either have not come out, or have no chance, or they are mediocre and failed to make it to the list. There are only fifty genuine heroes in Renbang, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Jin Dynasty coexist, and there are a total of twenty-three states in the world. , coupled with the Prairie Western Region and other places, some states do not even have a single talent on the list of talents, and it is difficult to even think about a battle for the list.
Huanzhou is the first state in the southwest. It has the Huanhua Sword Sect and the Wang family of Zhoujun, so it is ranked third on the list. However, the "Qinglian Gongzi" Liusu became famous earlier than the "Shouzheng Sword" Wang Zai, and earlier than the "Junzi Sword" Meng Qi, when Wang Zai became famous, he was already traveling around the world and developing At the beginning of his career of fighting swords and drinking thousands of cups, he was once ranked in the top ten on the list of people, but was squeezed out by Jiang Zhiwei. When Wang Zai also went out to sharpen his skills, gained a name, and was on the list of people, he went to the Northern Zhou Dynasty again, fighting for wine and fighting. The sword is a joy, and the two have always been in love with each other.
Originally, the "Junzi Sword" Meng Qi escaped from Baobing and four nine-aperture masters and squeezed into the list. The martial arts people in Huanzhou began to expect a fight between the dragons and tigers among the people in the list, but he returned to Xiliang instead. Revenge, his whereabouts are a mystery, and he still misses Wang Zai.
This made Huanzhou martial arts people sigh, could they really witness the battle for the ranking in the Jiangdong area or Changle Juyuan area, the most prosperous city in the world with the largest number of young masters?
Of the thirty previous duels, only seven were outside these two places. The closest ones to Huanzhou were the Da Luo witch fighting the seven heavenly maidens in the mountains and rivers, and the Da Luo Wanhua Tower in Yedu. The demon girl "robbed" Xuannv's descendant in front of Wang Zai, but no one had the opportunity to witness it!
Now the "Thunder Sword Crazy Monk" is openly challenging the "Shou Zhengjian" and has fulfilled their wishes. How can they not be excited?
"Master Jin, you have accepted the challenge from the Thunder Knife Mad Monk and have competed with Prince Wang several times. Who do you think you are more optimistic about?" A martial arts master asked Jin Jinxian from Chiyang Martial Arts School.
Jin Jinxian stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "I have little talent and little knowledge, so it's hard to tell the difference. I think we should be tied."
"No, Prince Wang Zai has mastered the 'Mighty and Unyielding' element of 'Haoran's Qi'. When he encounters a strong one, he becomes stronger. Even if he is in the top ten in front of him, he can still rise to the opponent's level and be evenly matched, not to mention the 'Thunder Knife'" Crazy monk?" Luo Youfeng, the owner of the "Pojun Martial Arts School" who was defeated by Meng Qi with a sword, objected.
Another martial arts master shook his head: "'Mighty and Unyielding' can only prevent oneself from being inferior to the enemy on the opposite side. It mainly enhances the true energy, strength, speed, etc., but does not improve the realm or skills. Sword Mania" Su Meng himself only has six or seven orifices, and his true energy and strength are not as good as those of Prince Wang. He only relies on his mastery of sword skills and mastery of essence to achieve such strength. "Mighty and unyielding" has no effect. "
Wang's "Awesome Qi" is well-known, and people in the Yedu martial arts community are more or less familiar with it. They have a general understanding of the nature of "mighty and unyielding", and they know that when it is awakened, it will not benefit the realm or skills.
In the past, the descendants of the Wang family who relied on "mighty and unyielding" to kill Half-Step Outside Scene were Wang Ce and Wang Zai's grandfather. When he became the head of the Wang family, he actually did not improve in realm at that time. The reason why he was able to cross realms and kill Half-Step Outside Scene, It is because the aura of awe-inspiring nature itself has the characteristics of a half-step outdoor scene. Cultivate your own aura of awe-inspiring righteousness, communicate with the aura of awe-inspiring nature that fills the heaven and earth, and make every move and every move look like a symbol of the righteous way of heaven and earth.
Meng Qi also understood this from the situation when Wang Zai took action several times.
"You have said that Prince Wang's realm is stronger than that of the Thunder Sword Mad Monk, and his true energy is also stronger. So what does it matter if the 'Mighty Unyielding' hair doesn't work? The Thunder Saber Mad Monk's sword skills are perfect, could it be that of Prince Wang? 'Nine Swords of the Saint' is just for fun? He had already mastered some of the essence of swordsmanship many years ago! As for the location methods, the Thunder Sword Monk had mastered the true meaning of Ananda's Pojie Swordsmanship, so why didn't Mr. Wang master the true meaning of one of the "Nine Swords of the Sage"? Luo Youfeng retorted in a loud voice.
The owner snorted: "I didn't say I wasn't optimistic about Mr. Wang, but I just don't think it would be easy for him to defeat Su Meng, the mad swordsman."
The outcome of the two men is being discussed on high platforms everywhere. Relatively speaking, more people are optimistic about Wang Zai. Firstly, he is a hero in Yedu, and secondly, he is well-known and ranked higher than the Thunder Sword Mad Monk.
"I don't know either. Mr. Su, Ananda, has not revealed his sword-breaking skills or the golden bell. The last time he took full action was in the early summer of last year. Who knows how far he has progressed now?" Kong Yu, the head catcher of Qingshou, smiled at Huanhua. Du Shaobai, the outside deacon of the Sword Sect, said, "But I'm optimistic about a tie. After all, Mr. Wang has mastered the 'Unyielding Might'. No matter how much Mr. Su improves, he will still be able to win evenly."
"Kong Qingshou's words make sense." Du Shaobai nodded lightly. Qi Zhengyan beside him looked at Meng Qi standing quietly with his eyes closed and a knife behind his back, and felt excited in his heart.
During these days, he often competed with Meng Qi, and his mastery of his "Huntian Treasure Mirror" has improved to a higher level. He also understood the approximate strength gap between himself and Meng Qi. Therefore, Meng Qi and the master king Wang The competition gave him the illusion of being challenged by himself, and he could use this to judge his own strength.
While everyone was talking, someone from the Wang family arrived. The leader was wearing an ancient crown and a wide robe. He was over forty years old and had outstanding appearance. His eyes were small and slightly narrowed.
Kong Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, stepped forward to greet him, and said with a smile, "Uncle Yeyang, why don't you come here?"
This man's surname is Wang and his name is Nanyan. He is the Sima of Huanzhou. He is the spokesperson of the Wang family in the civil service system of Huanzhou. He is a first-class master, the fifth uncle of Wang Ce and Wang Zai, and was named the Earl of Yeyang. The head of the Wang family inherited the title of Huanhou.
Although the Wang family has many external locations, there are also many precious mineral deposits, medicine mountains, foreign places and important cities that need to be guarded. Strong people in the external locations must take turns to guard. There are more than 15 people outside all year round. In addition to the part that enters the center of Shendu, the main family often has only a dozen external locations - such as Wang Ce's uncle, Wang Zai's father, and the youngest master of the Wang family. He is currently serving as the Minister of Revenue and controlling the financial resources of Dajin.
Therefore, they did not send too strong masters to control the civil service system of Huanzhou and Zhoujun. Wang Nanyan is a rare external location. Anyway, as long as the Wang family is there, what are you afraid of them turning the world upside down?
Wang Nanyan is a man who is good at dancing with long sleeves. After serving as the Sima of Huanzhou, he quickly became the spokesperson for the foreign affairs of the Wang family in Huanzhou.
Who would have thought that he would come in person today? Kong Yu, Du Shaobai and others were quite puzzled. Even if they wanted to ensure Wang Zai's safety, so that the most talented son of this generation would not die in the competition, they could just send an elder of the outer scene or a guest official of the half-step outer scene. Why did Wang Nanyan have to come himself?
However, the two were relieved immediately. This was Wang's attempt to win over the illegitimate son.
Wang Zai's father was a illegitimate son, so even if he was in the top ten of the human list that year, the youngest master of the Wang family, could not inherit the family business. Wang Zai was also a illegitimate son, and he seemed to have a bright future like his father. Therefore, if the direct line wanted to maintain its own status, it had to win over the capable illegitimate sons and give them enough respect, just like Wang Zai's father, who became the spokesperson of the Wang family in the court even though he was not the head of the family.
Wang Nanyan's personal visit was a respect for Wang Zai and a show of goodwill to Wang Zai and his father.
After all, this is a world where martial arts are respected. If you have enough strength, you can get a similar status and respect!
"Kong Qingshou, I just met you yesterday. I'm asking you again today. Don't be so long-winded." Wang Nayan smiled so well that people would feel like being bathed in spring breeze. He didn't look down on Kong Yu because he was just a Qingshou constable.
Behind him followed Wang Ce, Wang Zai and several Wang's children.
Compared with a few days ago, Wang Ce was no longer different, but he looked depressed and taciturn. The old servant behind him had not changed at all. Wang Zai had a sword hanging from his waist. His expression was firm, not arrogant, not afraid, not excited, not happy, as if he had no victory or defeat in his heart.
Du Shaobai followed with a smile and said, "Sima Wang, you stayed at Jinyu Pavilion last night. Wouldn't we worry about your health?"
After a few words of greeting, Wang Nayan turned to look at Wang Zai and smiled slightly, saying, "Go, don't let Xiao Su wait anxiously."
Wang Zai nodded slightly, jumped up, not elegant or mysterious, and landed three feet in front of Meng Qi in an ordinary way.
Seeing him appear, everyone on the platform stopped talking, held their breath, and waited to watch the fight.
Wang Zai bowed: "Brother Su, I've been waiting for a long time."
Since Meng Qi called him brother Zai, he naturally called him brother Su.
Meng Qi opened his half-closed eyes and said calmly: "I am happy to wait for a good opponent no matter how long it takes."
Wang Zai smiled and said calmly: "Why did you change your sword to a wooden sword?"
The sword sheath behind Meng Qi was not a Ziwu, but a wooden sword of the same length.
"The knife can be controlled, but the sword cannot be controlled. If I attack, I may accidentally hurt someone." Meng Qi's expression was calm.
While speaking, he stretched his right hand back and slowly grabbed the handle of the knife. His movements were ordinary, but in the eyes of Wang Nanyan, Kong Yu and others, they were extraordinary.
His movements were extremely precise. During the slow movement, the previous movements seemed to be a replica of the later movements. The posture of the fingers and the interval between the gaps did not change at all. Although it was slow, it made people feel like a "residual image"!
When his right hand touched the hilt, the whole person's momentum climbed to the peak. Wang Zai felt that the person in front of him was like a long sword, sharp and powerful, but also hard and soft!
Under the traction of the qi, Wang Zai's right hand also reached for his own sword handle, which was also plain, but gave people a sense of uprightness and keeping the middle.
It seemed that he should draw the sword like this! It should be drawn like this!
Clang!
At the same time, the swords and knives were unsheathed.
The long sword drew a beautiful arc and slashed towards Wang Zai. The sword energy was all attached to the blade, without any leakage, and no exciting sound was emitted, only whispers and whispers, and the voice of the heart disturbed the ears.
The long sword slashed diagonally, clumsy in change, simple and upright, but in Meng Qi's Immortal Seal Method exploration, Wang Zai's sword, the distribution of energy and power is balanced, there is no difference between strong and weak, sparse and dense, nor thick and thin, heavy and light, which makes it difficult for him to "break the energy", and it seems to change but not change, the flaws of the moves flow with the situation, which is difficult to grasp!
The "Utmost Impartiality" of the Nine Swords of the Saint!
Dang!
"Whisper" and "Supporting the Righteousness" collided with each other without any fancy.
