Chapter Seventy-One: The First Competition
"Now, I announce that the family competition has officially begun. After the patriarch finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to his seat with the senior elders in the cheering crowd below.
"There are really a lot of people who come to watch the family competition this time, and it seems that there are many other family members. Long Xingyu asked Long Shengyun.
"Yes, if you think about it, the family competition is not only a test of the strength and ability of the participants of our generation, but also related to the candidate for the next patriarch. Of course, this is also the best opportunity for other families to understand the strength of the younger generation in our family, how can the other seven families not send people here. You must know that there is a lot of competition in the secret of the eight major families. "Long Shengyun Dao.
"Oh, then the election of the patriarchs of their eight families is also like ours?" asked Long Xingyu.
"This is not the case, the Wu family and the Wang family are direct inheritance systems, while the Lin family and the Song family are martial arts systems, and the Yang family, the Li family and the Sima family are somewhat similar to our family's methods, but the time of the patriarch election is not the same. Of course, they will also hold a competition for young masters every 50 years, so as to maintain competitiveness, and the competition of the eight great families once every 100 years is also the participation of the top four young people under the age of 30 from each family. Ninety-eight years have passed since the last 100-year competition, and there are two more years. This family competition, why not select candidates to participate. After a pause, Long Shengyun smiled bitterly and said: "I have heard that there is a genius in the Yang family, who is only twenty-eight years old this year, the same age as me, but he has already reached the innate eightfold, maybe in two years, he will be able to reach the strength of the innate ninefold." I guess no one in our family can compare with it. ”
The third brother glanced at him in surprise, Long Xingyu didn't expect this stubble. If you really get the first place in the competition, then you also have to participate in the 100-year competition, and you suddenly have a headache.
"Alas, the thirty-year-old congenital ninefold is really strong. Long Shengyun sighed.
"Hey, even if you are thirty years old, it's not a big deal, I think the eldest brother reached the peak of innate at the age of twenty-three, this is the real genius. Long Xingyu said disdainfully.
"Do you know what people of your generation call Big Brother?"
"What to call it. Long Xingyu asked curiously.
"Old monster. They all said that the eldest brother was possessed by an old monster, otherwise who could have achieved such an achievement in such a short time. Long Tianyu looked at Long Xingyu, who was speechless on the side, and said with a smile.
"That's the achievement of their jealous big brother, forget it, let's focus on the competition. Long Xingyu shook his head and said.
After coming back to his senses, Long Xingyu and the others went to the Great Elder and slowly walked to the front of the competition platform, only to hear the Great Elder say towards the competition platform: "Please come to the stage to draw lots." ”
As the Great Elder's words fell, the younger generations in the competition platform stood up and walked in the direction of the competition platform.
"This competition will be based on a lottery system, of course, in order to prevent unfairness, we will have a different way to decide the match before the start of each round, and I also hope that everyone will stop at the end of the competition. Now the first round begins. Explained to the crowd.
"I have fourteen cards from one to three here, each of you will draw one, and then go to the corresponding martial arts platform elder to draw the battle number again. Each arena will have four elders overseer, and each elder will have several battle cards in their hands, and you can pick one of them to claim at will. As he spoke, the Great Elder waved his hand, only to see that in the space in front of him, forty-two pieces of burning like flames suddenly appeared, the texture was not gold or wood, and I didn't know what material it was made of, and inside the brand, there seemed to be a blood-colored luster.
When everyone came to the space where the sign was, they saw that the Great Elder controlled the sign and began to rotate quickly and irregularly. Then the Great Elder said, "Begin." ”
Immediately, everyone quickly grabbed the spinning sign. Long Xingyu also stretched out his hand, and then felt that he grabbed a light object, and took out one, but he didn't find any number on the brand.
Just when he was surprised, everyone around him also got the sign. When the last person got the sign, everyone saw that the sign in their hands had changed slightly, and the sign that was originally like a flame suddenly turned black and red, and then a number appeared on the card. What Long Xingyu got in his hand was the No. 1 brand.
When I turned my head, I saw that my third brother and fourth brother were both No. 2 brands. Shrugged his shoulders slightly, Long Xingyu cheered for the two elder brothers, and walked towards the No. 1 martial arts platform.
When I came to the competition platform, I saw that among the clansmen who came here, there were actually two congenital six-level powerhouses, one of them was Long Jue, and the other was a genius of the grandfather's branch, Long Tianchao. Long Xingyu stared at each other at these two innate sixfold levels, which was also a little funny, but he didn't care too much.
Suddenly, not far from in front of Long Xingyu, there was a trace of disdain. Long Xingyu raised his head and glanced at it lightly, but found that it was the guy who stopped him here at the competition platform three days ago and sneered at him. I vaguely remember that it seems to be a child of the fourth grandfather's family, called Long Yan. was also a member of the group who had been ridiculing himself back then.
However, now that his strength has just entered the Innate Triple, Long Xingyu doesn't understand why he dares to despise himself so confidently. But then, Long Jue, who had stared at Long Tianchao before, cast a vigilant look at him, frowned, and then Long Xingyu figured it out, it should be the three elders who have penetrated the bottom and asked him to be careful of his innate sevenfold existence.
Ignoring these anymore, Long Xingyu casually drew a Blue Flame Battle Card from the hands of the five elders, and there was no number on it, but he thought that after everyone had drawn lots, it would naturally be displayed.
Just as Long Xingyu was about to leave, the Fifth Elder suddenly said, "Boy, I'm very good to you, I hope you don't disappoint me." ”
He was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, Long Xingyu smiled and nodded towards the Fifth Elder, "Thank you Fifth Elder, I won't let you down." ”
Nodding, the five elders didn't say anything more. Seeing this, Long Xingyu walked towards the competition platform.
After everyone finished drawing lots, the Great Elder standing in the audience said: "Regarding the competition, I have already told you before, I hope you will work hard and give full play to your strength." With that, the Great Elder waved his hand, and then everyone looked at the battle cards in their hands, and the blue flames disappeared, and numbers appeared on them, from one to seven, each number corresponded to two brands.
Everyone showed the sign one after another, and Long Xingyu glanced at the No. 3 battle card in his hand and showed it to everyone. What is very interesting is that Long Xingyu found that the one who was about to fight against him was Long Yan, who had been looking at him with disdain before. Glancing at the opponent who was being proud, Long Xingyu was also a little funny in his heart. "What is this, the road is narrow? Then let him be the first 'victim' after he got rid of the name of waste. Thinking in his heart, Long Xingyu walked down the competition platform with everyone, leaving only the two people who drew the No. 1 battle card to stand on it.
There were two people on the stage, one was dressed in a black suit, and the other was wearing a white gown. It's all just innate dual strength, relatively speaking, in this group, it is a relatively weak existence. However, before the two of them started a war, a strong fighting spirit had already risen. Although this fighting spirit did not have the slightest effect on Long Xingyu, it also surprised Long Xingyu a little.
"Let's go. As the Seven Elders shouted, the two people on the field began to frantically improve their internal strength, and then a momentum rose on both of them. Obviously, both of them wanted to suppress each other with momentum from the beginning, and then give Thunder a blow.
Suddenly, the momentum of the man in the white shirt was discharged, and the man in the black power suit exchanged his fists, and then he unfolded, and his right foot stepped heavily on the competition platform, and he attacked the man in the white robe. The distance of ten meters continued to close in the process of taking off, and the strength of the black suit's right fist was contained and struck towards the head of the white-shirted man. The man in the white shirt lifted his left foot and tapped the ground with his right foot, and retreated towards the rear. A punch hit the air, but the man in the black suit stepped on the ground again and continued to chase after the man in white shirt. chased and fled, and then the two began a chase battle. Each time, the man in white narrowly avoided the attack of the man in black.
"These two people, one is fierce, the other is light, it seems that the guy in the black suit has the advantage, but in fact he is being tricked, if you really want to talk about strength, the man in white is a step higher than the man in black, and now the situation, although the man in white is chased all over the field, but the man in black has to chase him, so that every time he attacks, he can only continue to waste his internal strength. It won't be long before the white-shirted man finds a gap and strikes with lightning speed, and he can easily win. Before coming, he deliberately restrained his momentum, so that the opponent could take advantage of the situation to attack, and he could fight with him without much effort. Long Xingyu looked at the game on the stage and secretly commented on the game in his heart.
This is actually a way for Long Xingyu to cultivate his eyesight and actual combat observation, and to judge through analysis, he also exercised his intuition about battle. In this way, when you play against the master in the future, you can use the best way to deal with it through keen analysis and judgment.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the form on stage to come to a big reversal. The white-shirted man who was still being chased all over the field directly blocked the opponent's fist, turned around, and used a sticky word trick to directly pull the opponent's whole person in the air, with a shoulder and a back throw. After being thrown out, the man in black rolled over and landed on the ground, and raised his head, only to see that the knees of the man in white were already only a foot in front of him. His hands were hurriedly raised, and the whole person was knocked into the air by a blow, but the man in white chased directly after him, and hit the chest of the man in black with a palm, and directly blasted him out of the competition platform. It's very slow, but in fact, it only took a second for the man in white to counterattack, and it was already a thunderbolt to defeat the man in black.
In the applause from the audience, the white-shirted man clasped his fists and saluted, and said to the black-clothed man in the audience: "Brother Long Kun, I agreed." The black-clothed man who was knocked away had already stood up at this time, patted the dust on his body, and didn't seem to be hurt, and then arched his hand and said: "Brother Long Weixian's skills are superior, and Brother Fool's skills are not as good as others." With that, he turned and walked to the side of the stage.
"In the first game, Long Weisheng won. The next contestant takes the stage. The voice of the Seven Elders came, and then Long Wei jumped off the competition platform and walked to the side of the competition platform.
In the second game, one of them was actually Long Tianchao, and his opponent was only a female clansman who was born with a heavy heart. Looking at the huge gap between the two on the stage, Long Xingyu couldn't help but pout. However, the female clansman didn't seem to retreat, which also surprised Long Xingyu.
"Due to the huge difference in strength between the two, there is a time limit for the game, if Long Tianchao can't beat Long Xuanxuan within one minute, it will be Long Xuanxuan's victory. The fifth elder said on the stage at this time. And Long Xingyu also showed a sudden look after hearing this condition.
As the Seventh Elder announced the start of the game, Long Tianchao spread his body, and Long Xuanxuan, who was on the other side, just wanted to dodge, but found that Long Tianchao was already standing behind him, with one hand on his shoulder.
"I lost. When Long Xuanxuan was put on the shoulder, she knew that the gap between herself and the other party was too big, and she couldn't last a minute, so she simply admitted defeat.
Long Xingyu and Long Jue, who were watching the battle under the competition stage, had a ball of light in their eyes, especially Long Xingyu, who had just clearly felt that Long Tianchao on the stage seemed to be integrated into the surrounding heaven and earth qi in an instant, making his speed reach the fastest in an instant, and thus appeared behind Long Xuanxuan.
"It's so fast, not much slower than my 'Walk with the Wind' style. Moreover, he was able to win with minimal consumption without using martial arts, relying only on his body skills, which reflected his strong actual combat ability and superb combat quality. A soldier who surrenders without a fight is indeed worthy of the name of genius. I thought to myself.
Just as the battle began here, under another competition platform, the other two eyes also looked away.
Letting go of the hand on Long Xuanxuan's shoulder, Long Tianchao clasped his fist at her and said, "Sister Xuan, offended." ”
And Long Xuanxuan smiled very freely and said: "Brother Tianchao is strong, and the little sister is willing to bow down." ”
"Actually, if you meet a five-level opponent, it is estimated that you will be able to survive the time, but you met me, between the fifth and the sixth, it is a big hurdle, after reaching the sixth, the strength will be several times stronger, so you don't have to be discouraged, I believe you will be able to reach this strength soon. Long Tianchao smiled slightly.
nodded, Long Xuanxuan saluted everyone, and then stepped off the stage and walked to the stage.
"In the second game, Long Tian won the game, and the next player took the stage. As soon as the Seventh Elder's voice fell, Long Xingyu shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the competition platform. "Finally it was my turn. Then let's see what kind of strength you can have now. ”
