Chapter Forty-Eight: The Middle Age of the Great Samurai
According to the regulations, after the end of each year's 'Junya Ring Competition', the 'Dragon and Tiger Competition' will be held three months apart, and then the 'Battle for the Championship' will be held every six months.
The time is so stipulated, not long, not short, firstly, in order to give the contestants enough time to prepare, adjust their state, and prepare sufficiently, and secondly, because in such a short period of time, it is difficult for the contestants to advance, thus ensuring the fairness of the game.
At this time, it has been less than half a month since the 'Dragon and Tiger Championship' was held, and countless warriors and relatives and friends who are ready to participate in the state and state capitals have gathered, all of them are full of fighting spirit and confidence, hoping to stand out in this battle and advance smoothly.
Because the spies of the Great Proud Country have been more active recently, and terrorist incidents have occurred frequently, so under the circumstance that the county marquis must attend the 'Dragon and Tiger Competition', Luo Haoyu left all three sons in Nandan County to preside over government affairs and sit in all directions.
And he himself led a team of about 200 people to Longzhou in advance.
Longzhou, can be said to be the source of the country in addition to Bazhou, the most people want to go to the place, not only the folk customs are simple, celebrities come out in large numbers, but also has a trade road connecting the countries, the geographical location is quite important.
The economic level of Longzhou has always been the highest in the eight states, it can be said that most of the economy of Fengyuan Country is supported by Longzhou, and because of this, many businessmen in Longzhou have made a fortune and become a rich man, such as Zhang Fugui.
It is said that Longzhou is named after the surname of the first Taishou Longyun, who was a fierce general next to the founding lord of Fengyuan Country, followed the founding lord of the country, surrendered to the Quartet, and made great achievements for the smooth establishment of Fengyuan country.
After the establishment of the country, Long Yun had no intention of becoming an official in the court, and planned to devote himself to the countryside and seek welfare for the people, so he asked the lord of the country to transfer him out of the national capital.
Although the lord of the country was reluctant, he finally fulfilled his wish, appointed him as the Taishou of a state, and named the state Longzhou, which shows that the lord of the country attaches great importance to him.
It is rumored that in the end, Long Yun broke through the level of the Innate Martial King, and also disappeared mysteriously without accident. It's just that the time is too old for the authenticity to be verified.
However, no matter what the result is, Long Yun's deeds are widely spread from generation to generation in Longzhou, even today, after countless years, countless young heroes still worship him, regard him as an idol, as a goal, and strive to catch up.
Luo Ping and the others have also admired Long Yun since he was a child, hoping to become a big hero like him one day.
At this moment, Longzhou is unusually lively, with busy traffic and people coming and going. There are constant squads of soldiers patrolling back and forth to maintain order and ensure safety.
"Lord Junhou, it seems that this year's 'Dragon and Tiger Competition' is far more intense than the previous ones. I just don't know if a few young masters can seize the opportunity and advance smoothly. β
A tall and mighty general rode on horseback, looked at the people and horses that continued to enter the state city, and sighed.
In front of the generals was Luo Haoyu. After a four-day journey, a group of more than 200 people just arrived in Longzhou City today.
When Luo Haoyu heard this, he said: "Wu Feng, what you said is right, this is the first session of the implementation of the new regulations, the four levels are competing separately, the number of participants is four times that of the past, the probability of winning at each level has greatly increased, and all the contestants will do their best to compete for the promotion places, and the cruelty is self-evident." β
With a slight wave of his hand, he motioned for everyone to continue entering the city, and then he said again: "As for whether Ping'er and the others can all advance, I can't say at will, but I believe that they will not let me down, no matter what the result is, Ben Hou will fully support them." β
When Wu Feng heard this, he hurriedly said: "My subordinates also believe that several young masters are not people who give up easily, and they will definitely be able to successfully advance through all of them." The subordinates and the brothers will also fully support them, do you say? β
Wu Feng asked sideways behind him on horseback.
Among the more than 200 people who accompanied him, Wu Feng, as the only one among the twelve generals of Nandan County, was already the supreme commander.
And he has the strength of the early stage of the great general, which is enough to suppress everyone. In addition, there are eight generals and more than 20 captains.
As soon as the generals heard Wu Feng's question, they all hurriedly agreed.
"What the general said is very true, several young masters are all talented and intelligent, and their subordinates firmly believe that they can be promoted. β
"The subordinates feel that the 'Dragon and Tiger Championship' is just a piece of cake for several young masters, and winning and advancing is like a common thing. β
"Yes, yes, the subordinates will definitely support them with all their might, as a strong backing for several young masters. β
..................
Luo Haoyu listened to the words you said and echoed me, and smiled helplessly, "When have you all learned to flatter, all of you are oily and smooth, where do you look like a soldier." Remember, seek truth from facts in everything, and don't be pompous or tossed. β
When everyone heard this, they were weak and didn't dare to say anything, and they all said that they would correct their attitudes.
In less than a moment, Luo Haoyu and his entourage had already come to the gate of the state capital, and the guards had already entered the palace to report, and when they arrived, the governor of the four counties, the Taishou of Longzhou, happened to come out of the mansion.
Luo Haoyu turned over and dismounted, came to Taishou, and bowed his hand to greet him.
"Nandan County Marquis Luo Haoyu visited Lord Taishou. β
Longzhou Taishou, surnamed He Mingkun, is over 100 years old, he is already a strong man in the late stage of King Wu, and he has been serving as Longzhou Taishou for decades, his strength is extraordinary, and his resourcefulness cannot be underestimated.
"Hahaha, it turned out to be Haoyu, don't be so clichΓ©, we haven't known each other for a day or two, why bother seeing each other like this. β
He Kun said and looked behind Luo Haoyu, only to see the soldiers who had all dismounted.
"Why didn't I see Mingshuang's boys, the old man loves them very much, why didn't he come this time?"
"Hehe, thank you Lord Taishou for paying so much attention to the dogs, because recently, the traitors of the Great Proud Country have been making frequent trouble, and the lower officials have let them all stay in charge. Luo Haoyu replied with a smile.
When He Kun heard this, he showed such an expression. "In that case, let's not talk outside the house, let's go, let's go into the house. β
"By the way, Heihe County and Chiyan County are close, and now Lumen County is not here. β
Luo Haoyu followed He Kun into the mansion, and the other entourage soldiers were arranged to other places by the subordinates in the state capital. When I entered the hall of the house, I saw that there were already two people sitting there, communicating.
"Haha, Brother Luo is also here, we haven't seen each other for a long time, we have to have a good chat. β
One of them was tall and thin, and said with a smile on his eyes.
The other was grim and expressionless, just nodding politely. But everyone knows that his character is like this, and they don't mind.
"I didn't expect Brother Wei and Brother Zhu to come so early, Luo thought he was the fastest to arrive, but he almost became the last, haha. β
Luo Haoyu said and sat down with He Kun.
The tall and thin old man said again: "Anyway, it's no big deal, just come over in advance to meet Lord Taishou, and talk about the event by the way." β
When it came to the event, the four people present were all interested and discussed, and it didn't take long for the Marquis of Lumen County to arrive in the mansion, and the five of them exchanged again.
...............................................................
In the underground castle of the 'Goshawk Legion', it was already the last day of training at this time, and after nearly two months of training, Luo Ping and the others had made rapid progress, and they couldn't believe that they could improve so much in such a short period of time. It's like a dream.
In one room, Luo Ping was throwing punches to the wooden pillar in front of him, the pillar was rotating, and he needed to hit each punch in the same place, and as the pillar spun faster and faster, his punch speed also increased.
The main training of this method is the speed, strength and endurance of the punch.
After the previous six rounds of training, Luo Ping has become proficient in this method at this moment, and he is at ease.
At the fastest time, the fist shadow has been connected into a line, and it does not distinguish between fiction and reality. When he thought of his progress now, Luo Ping was overjoyed, and every punch was full of power.
Not long after Luo Ping was promoted to the initial level of the Great Samurai, his 'Light Smoke Drifting Body Method' also successfully broke through the shackles and reached the fourth degree.
The third and fourth degrees are a watershed, and once you enter the fourth degree, you can be regarded as truly mastering this technique, and the speed has increased by about double.
Before he could recover from the two joys, an even bigger 'bomb' hit him again. Just the day before yesterday, he was once again promoted to the middle stage of the Great Samurai.
It was only more than 40 days since the last promotion, which made Chen Xiuxiu and others call themselves perverted. At this moment, Luo Ping's 'sensory power' has been extremely sharp, and his arm strength has also reached an astonishing 1,200 catties, which has surpassed the middle level of the Great Martial Master.
After advancing to the mid-level of the Great Samurai, Luo Ping is even more looking forward to the upcoming 'Dragon and Tiger Tournament'.
It's just that how to divide the level when the time comes, he is very entangled, and he can only watch it then.
Whether it is the samurai class or the great samurai class, he has the confidence to stand out from the 80 contestants and obtain the only eight to qualify for the 'Battle for the Championship'.
To say that he does not have the heart of competitiveness, the ghost believes that in such a place where martial arts are prevalent, there is no heart of competition and competitiveness, which means that the heart of martial arts is not firm, and it is difficult to reach the peak of martial arts.
Knocking down opponents, defeating strong people or even trampling them under their feet is the idea of every martial artist. Luo Ping couldn't cultivate before, and his martial arts heart was deliberately hidden.
Now that he has superhuman talent and his cultivation speed is faster than ordinary people, he doesn't mind conquering his opponent with his strength and fists, and the strong are fought hard.
"Luo Ping, stop, today's training is over. β
While Luo Ping was training hard in joy, Zero One's voice came.
"Uncle Twelve, why is it over so early today?"
After two months of getting along, 012 has become a relative of his teacher and friend, not only is the title closer, but also usually has nothing to say.
"The Lord General Army has an order, end the training early today, let the few of you rest and get used to it, and there will be other arrangements for the next four days. Zero 12 said with a smile.
"Uncle Twelve, what are you going to do in the next four days? Luo Ping asked reluctantly.
"Hey, you've asked more than a hundred times, if I could say that I would have told you a long time ago, the general army has an order, and no one is allowed to leak it. β
Seeing Luo Ping's disappointed face, Zero 12 walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go out, it is estimated that those brothers of yours are waiting for you outside." β
Luo Ping nodded when he heard this, and the two left the room together and walked outside.
