Chapter 304: Fighting, Ma Liefeng! (Two in One)

The officials waiting beside the high platform immediately waved flags, beat drums and blew horns.

All the soldiers were shocked and knew that the martial arts competition had begun.

Some are nervous, some are full of energy, and are extremely confident in their own strength. They should show their faces today!

Other officials then began to call out names, and then went to the ring to start fighting against each other.

The centurions whose names were called walked out of the square.

Song Changming noticed that two centurions in their formation were also called out, got on the ring, and started fighting with the centurions under other generals.

This also attracted the attention of Xing Tiexin, Fu Yuan and others.

"Brother Xing, don't look at it. Those are my soldiers. I know very well that you will lose this round." The general on the side said happily.

"Brother, it's too early to be happy." Xing Tiexin said a little unhappy.

After a while.

"Hahaha, brother Xing, how are you?" The general said with a smile when he saw that his centurion had won.

Xing Tie's face collapsed a little and he didn't say anything more.

Fu Yuan on the side scratched his face and looked at Song Changming. He also felt that his face was dull, especially when the opponent's general had to take advantage of him.

Soon, the first round of competition was over.

The loser walked out of the ring dejectedly and returned to the square in despair.

The winner stood proudly on the ring, enjoying the moment of being exposed to the entire army while waiting for the next opponent to come up.

When one wins, he can stay in the ring as long as he wants until someone picks him off.

Therefore, if you want to show your face more and stand out among many soldiers, you need to last as many rounds as possible in the ring. Over time, more people will naturally notice you.

Until the banner leader on the high platform is asked to intervene, this martial arts competition will be considered a success.

In addition, after the first round of competition, there is no need to call names again.

There are soldiers who come on stage and want to pull down the people on the ring and replace them.

Therefore, after the first round, the atmosphere in the court became more intense.

After losing the first round, the other centurions under Xing Tiexin couldn't sit still. They each picked their opponents and went to the stage to compete. They wanted to fight for the general's next ring position and plant the flag of their army. .

In the end, four of the centurions under Xing Tiexin succeeded in the challenge, which was pretty good.

But before Xing Tie could feel relieved, two of them were soon chased away by other centurions.

After a few more rounds, only one of the ten centurions was left on the ring.

That person is Zhao Li.

Among the centurions, Zhao Li was very powerful, otherwise he would not have thought of challenging Song Changming for the position of deputy general.

In terms of strength, among the ten centurions under Xing Tiexin's command, Zhao Li is the strongest.

If Song Changming had not intervened and Zhao Li had worked hard for a few more years, the position of deputy general would most likely be his.

With a martial arts strength close to that of a lieutenant general, Zhao Li managed to steal the spotlight in the centurion competition today.

But unfortunately, he failed to stand out in the end.

Among other centurions, there are also centurions who are approaching the level of deputy general, or even stronger ones.

In the end, no matter how hard he gritted his teeth, he was still defeated and could not survive to the end in the ring.

"Brother Xing, that guy is pretty good, he's a deputy general Miaozi." A general noticed Zhao Li and couldn't help but say.

"Well, he, a descendant of the Zhao family branch, is indeed pretty good." Xing Tiexin nodded and said calmly.

However, he did not attach too much importance to Zhao Li.

After all, he knew that this guy had always followed Zhao Linxin. Compared with him, Zhao Li would only be more loyal to the Zhao family and Zhao Linxin!

Such soldiers are destined not to become his confidants and be reused by him.

Of course, he couldn't express these true inner thoughts to others at will, he could only say them.

"Originally, I also wanted to support him to be my lieutenant, but later a more suitable candidate was found. Moreover, his temperament was still a little too impatient, and his strength was not as good as it was. He still needs to be polished."

The general on the other side cast his eyes on Song Changming and said with a smile: "This is the one behind you. He became your deputy general just after leaving the new barracks. Before that, I thought he was an incredible talent.

I saw it when I was guarding the spirit crystal veins. It is indeed very powerful. He is more suitable than that boy from the Zhao family. Even the banner leader Wang Shifu praised him."

The general's attitude was more kind, and he looked at Song Changming with a bit of appreciation in his eyes, and he obviously recognized it.

"General Liao Zan." Song Changming said politely, cupping his hands.

"That's natural. This kid has been with me for more than a year, and he will definitely become a great person in the future." When talking about Song Changming, Xing Tiexin smiled a little.

To say that the talents he has discovered over the years are the ones that satisfy him the most, they are Fu Yuan and Song Changming.

The only ones who can really make a difference are these two people.

"You've blown it so well, then it depends on the performance of your little brother. I also have ruthless characters here." Another general, Hu Xiangnan, said happily.

"Okay, you're talking about the Ma Liefeng next to you. Let's get some luck then, Lao Hu." Xing Tiexin said with a grin, not afraid at all.

The two of them obviously have a good relationship, and their talk was very explosive, but neither of them meant to get angry.

"Okay, how about fifty middle-grade spiritual crystals?" Hu Xiangnan said, touching the blue stubble on his chin.

"no problem."

Xing Tiexin agreed immediately, then turned to look at Song Changming and said, "You heard me, don't let me lose this hand of spiritual crystal."

"." Song Changming nodded, "Don't worry, General."

At the same time, on the main general, a young man with a tattoo on his face that looked like a ghost painting raised his eyes to meet his gaze and showed a fierce smile.

Obviously, that was the opponent that Xing Tiexin matched for him.

Fu Yuan, who was standing aside, whispered to Song Changming at this time: "This Ma Liefeng is a talent you discovered in the last recruit camp, and he is the most outstanding one. He became a deputy general in just two years and is also quite famous in the army.

He is growing very fast. He opened up three earth martial veins a year before he became a deputy general. Now his strength should not be underestimated."

"I know." Song Changming understood.

The other main general was so confident that he obviously believed that this game was a sure win.

The centurion game ended, and the last ten centurions stood on the ring, winning the whole army.

At this moment, they are undoubtedly quite exposed.

Even the flag owners at the top seats are talking about these centurions.

The greatest significance of the martial arts competition is that the flag owners can remember their faces.

"Who else dares to challenge the arena?" An official on the high platform shouted loudly, his voice vibrating.

This time, the question is for the entire army.

The martial arts competition only looks at pure personal bravery, regardless of the position or achievements.

Therefore, even the most inconspicuous soldiers can challenge the strongest centurions in front of everyone today.

Of course, most soldiers have self-knowledge and will not be so impulsive.

Only some soldiers with really good strength dare to step onto the arena. Even if they cannot defeat these centurions, it is enough if they can show their style on the arena.

It is enough for them to take this opportunity to become a captain, or even a centurion, and they will be satisfied.

Soon, a volunteer quickly picked a centurion on the stage, bowed respectfully and asked for a fight, as if he was afraid that someone else would get ahead of him.

There is a way to this.

For these low-level soldiers, they want to fight for a chance, and it is best to choose a centurion with a milder temper as a challenger.

Generally speaking, these centurions will also help the challenger and take him off the stage after he has performed.

And if some centurions with bad tempers or who are very impatient about this come up, they will use heavy hands and knock the challenger away with a punch and end the matter hastily.

In this way, the challenger naturally has little room to play and loses the opportunity to be promoted.

Therefore, there are centurions in the arena where challengers come one after another, while some centurions are very idle and few people are interested.

After about an incense stick, this challenge is over.

The centurions and soldiers left the stage one after another, and the next is the highlight.

The battle!

That is, it is a competition among a group of generals in the army.

There are more than 12,000 soldiers in the army, excluding more than 2,000 reserve soldiers, and there are a total of 10 main generals and 36 deputy generals.

On weekdays, the most talked about privately between the various troops is the strength of these generals.

The ten main generals rarely fight each other, and have never competed in public.

However, these 36 deputy generals will also compete in such an important martial arts competition.

The strength of the generals also determines the strength and status of the various troops in the army to a certain extent.

Therefore, the soldiers will argue about this privately, not only for the face of themselves and the troops, but also for their own interests.

There is no absolute fairness in the army, just like other places. The troops with strong strength and high status can enjoy more resources in the army and focus on training.

The troops with low status will naturally suffer some losses.

Therefore, almost the entire army is looking forward to such a battle, and it is not just a simple personal honor and disgrace between generals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who will send your favorite general to the ring first?" Wang Tianshuang looked at the ten main generals below.

Hu Xiangnan stood up directly and bowed, saying: "Master, I recommend you."

Obviously, he is not a procrastinator, and he came up and signed up first.

In this case, how could Xing Tiexin show weakness, and he immediately stood up and said: "I recommend you."

"Okay." Wang Tianshuang nodded with interest and agreed.

Seeing this, the other main generals did not intervene, and planned to watch the excitement first.

"Ma Liefeng." Hu Xiangnan summoned the best potential stock in his hand as agreed.

"Yes!" The tattooed man stood up immediately, grabbed two short halberds, and flew to the middle of the ring.

"Changming." Xing Tiexin also called.

"Be careful." Fu Yuan couldn't help but remind Song Changming again when he saw him stand up.

When Ma Liefeng flew into the arena just now, he showed some innate cultivation, which made him vaguely aware that something was wrong.

Ma Liefeng might be stronger than he expected now!

Song Changming nodded, his expression was normal, and he also flew into the arena.

Xing Tiexin also saw the clues, and after sitting down, he curled his lips and said to Hu Xiangnan beside him: "No wonder you are so relieved."

"Hey, don't be stingy, I'll earn you 50 middle-grade spirit crystals for nothing, and I'll treat you to a meal tonight." Hu Xiangnan said happily.

"Don't think you're safe like this." Xing Tiexin shook his head and didn't say much.

"Then I'll wait and see." Hu Xiangnan didn't care, just thought Xing Tiexin was still being stubborn.

On the ring.

Song Changming, holding a sheathed long sword, stood opposite Ma Liefeng, and could sense that countless eyes were cast on him, including those of the flag owners at the top.

Because the battle was fierce and was the highlight of the martial arts competition, only one duel was held in each round.

This was truly the focus of attention.

"Ma Liefeng, I've seen him before, a very good rising star, and the other one, Xing Tiexin didn't even let Fu Yuan deal with it." Wang Tianshuang only took a glance and felt that Song Changming was young and unfamiliar, so he couldn't help but say.

He didn't actually spend much time in the army on weekdays, and paid more attention to several main generals, and didn't ask much about their deputy generals.

Some reports and trivial matters in military affairs were usually handled by several small flag owners under his command.

Therefore, he had no basic understanding of Song Changming. He could tell at a glance that Song Changming's innate cultivation was not high. He only opened two earth martial veins, which was far behind Ma Liefeng.

"Sir, don't underestimate this newcomer. In terms of martial arts qualifications and strength, he is not inferior to Ma Liefeng." Yang Zhen responded with a smile.

"I agree with this. When guarding the spirit crystal vein before, the strength shown by this little guy really impressed me." Wang Shifu on the side also nodded and said, and he was quite appreciative of Song Changming.

"Oh! Since you all said so, it's worth seeing." Wang Tianshuang said with some surprise.

"Two generals, get ready and start on your own." The official on the side said politely.

"It's good to get a good start. Are you ready?" Ma Liefeng said calmly, holding two short spears, and asked Song Changming frivolously.

It can be seen that he is also very confident in his own strength and does not think he will lose.

"Okay, come on." Song Changming stood upright on the ring, buckled the long sword with a sheath on his waist armor, and gently placed his right hand on the hilt.

The next moment, Ma Liefeng was no longer polite, and he moved directly and turned into a gust of wind and disappeared on the spot.

"Damn! So fast!"

"It's all because General Ma is as fast as the wind, and now I see it's really like that!"

All the soldiers watching the battle were shocked.

Seeing this, Xing Tiexin's thousand-man army also sweated for Song Changming, worried that Song Changming would lose too ugly.

In the arena, the gust of wind blew in his face, and Song Changming narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression did not change, only the blood in his body began to surge.

Suddenly, his feet moved, and he drew his sword sideways, all in one go.

The sword light passed by the left side, and the gust of wind suddenly stopped, revealing Ma Liefeng's figure as fast as the wind.
