Lonely Swordsman - C45
The crowd searched for her thousands of times before suddenly looking back, only to see her in a place devoid of light.
On August 15th, after much effort, the Mianzhou coalition government finally held a conference at the Taibai Hotel in the Southwest Falcon District. 8: 10 PM. As Little Qingshan’s representative, Zhang Xiang, after Zhang Jianjun’s welcome party ended, under the urge of more than half a year of yearning and suffering, summoned the courage to look for Bei Tianshi who came with him.
“Mr. Bei, ai, ai, long time no see, how have you been?” After seeing Bei Tian Shi, Zhang Xiang did not know what to say.
“Ah, President Zhang, you’re such a rare guest. Come in quickly and serve the book. Esteemed guest, have a cup of tea made soon!” Bei Tianshi was naturally always accompanied by beautiful women.
“Ai, it’s like this. I came to ask for Mr. Bei’s help.” After the host sat down, Zhang Xiang felt embarrassed for a moment and finally said the reason for his visit.
“Principal Zhang can be considered my friend. You can just tell me if you want to help or not.”
“It’s still the same thing as last time. I would like to ask Mister Bei to help me investigate Miss Ruo Meng’s situation. I would like to see Miss Ruo Meng again.”
“So it’s about Miss Ru Meng. I have to apologize to Dean Zhang first and ask for his forgiveness. At that time, I was trying to win Sun Junping over to me, but we had our own owners. I hope you don’t blame me.” Ai, if Principal Zhang had only mentioned Miss Ruo Meng to me, I would have definitely… “It’s a mistake, a mistake. I hope it doesn’t affect our friendship.” Bei Tianshi was a cunning old fox, speaking hypocritically.
“I understand what happened earlier, so I naturally wouldn’t mind. If Mister Bei finds out about Ruo Meng’s situation, then that would be a huge help to me.”
“Hahaha, what a coincidence! If it were anyone else, I might not be clear about it. But this Miss Ruo Meng, Principal Zhang is really riding a donkey looking for a donkey!”
“Where did Mr. Bei come from?”
“Hahaha, President Zhang, it’s like this. Miss Ruo Meng was given to Sun Junping by me back then, so I still remember it clearly. Now, of course it’s in President Zhang’s hands.” Bei Tianshi still remembered Li Xin’s waist-high hair.
“Ah, so that’s how it is. Thank you very much Mr. Bei. I will take my leave now.” After hearing this, the excited Zhang Xiang quickly said goodbye.
There weren’t any zombies left in Mianzhou and the roads had already been cleaned up, so Zhang Xiang had to rush back in twenty minutes. After finding Li Xin’s address at Zi Xin’s place, Zhang Xiang arrived at her door at 9: 35.
“You damn girl, what are you doing here so late?” Li Xin didn’t have many friends. It seemed that the only person who came here was Zi Xin.
“You, you …” Li Xin opened the door, and what appeared in front of her was the face that made her dream. An unspeakable feeling of grievance involuntarily surged into her heart, and the tears at the corner of her eyes flowed down like water.
“You, you, what are you doing here? “You, you …” Li Xin thought herself to be a strong woman, when she faced Mr. Bei, Sun Junping, and all the hardships and hardships, Li Xin had all lost her teeth and swallowed her blood, all of them had been brave enough to face her. But at this moment, Li Xin suddenly realized how weak she was and how sentimental she was. Towards this man in front of her, Li Xin hated him for deceiving her. She hated him for not shielding her from the rain in the face of danger. But as she hated him, Li Xin realized just how weak she was in front of him, and how much she wanted to lean against his chest to avoid the wind and rain. Thinking about it, Li Xin felt wronged the more she thought about it. She couldn’t help but lean on Zhang Xiang’s chest and cry.
The preparatory meeting for the coalition government was held over half a month before the following resolution was finally formed:
1. The joint government shall adopt the system of committee, which shall consist of ten members, nine members and one chairman. Each member shall have one vote, and the chairman shall have two votes.
2. Five members shall be elected by the four parties, two by the Southwest Falcon and one by each of the other three parties.
3. Five members shall be decided by the contest, four contestants shall be selected by each party, four of them shall be decided by the winner group and one shall be decided by the loser group.
(4) The Chairman shall be decided by a contest of 10 members.
On September 10, 2028, the First Martial Competition of Mianzhou was held at the Mianzhou Stadium. The Little Qingshan self-rescue team consisted of Chen Jing, Wang Lei, Yang Weidong, and Huang Xiaogang.
This was an unprecedented gathering. Experts would forever be the immortal legends in people’s hearts, and it was a topic that people talked about with great interest. The survivors of Mianzhou were all eager to attend the event, and the 30,000-strong stadium was packed.
The Yi An Society’s Qiu Yongqiang was without a doubt the hottest topic of all. Qiu Yongqiang’s achievements in the fight against the Thirteen Mercenary Alliance, the Southwest Falcon and a few other brilliant achievements within the Yi An Association were discussed enthusiastically. As word of mouth spread, almost everyone knew about it within a short period of time. The second most popular contestants were Zhang Jianjun and Wu Rong. The battle between Zhang Jianjun and Qiu Yongqiang was the main topic of discussion. It was simply a modern version of Lu Bu. The third would probably be Zhang Xinlin. After all, everyone knew about the duel between the Battle Wolf and the Martial Competition. Unfortunately, this time, there wasn’t one among the contestants. As for Chen Jing and the others, other than Little Qingshan’s people, who else would know of it? As for the people of the Thirteen Mercenary Alliance, they were nothing but a foil to the public. After all, what else could a person who had been defeated so many times have other than the dignity of an opponent?
At 9 AM sharp, the organizer, Zhang Jianjun, gave a short speech before the competition officially began. The rules of the competition were as follows: 1) Each match will decide the opponent by drawing lots; 2) One side will admit defeat, one side will admit defeat, 3) One side will not be able to stand up within one minute after being beaten, of course, if the opponent does not admit defeat immediately after being beaten down, the opponent can continue to attack, as for whether or not the opponent will die, the rules do not mention anything, after all, this is not before the catastrophe; 4) One side will be knocked out of the arena and the match will be over.
The first match was between Zhang Jianjun and Hai Sha’s Old Six Mountain Cat. This was an unequal battle. In less than 5 minutes, the lynx had escaped the arena in a sorry state.
The second match was between the two of them. The third and fourth were between Wei Dong and Xiao Gang, who had defeated the two contestants respectively.
The fifth battle was between Chen Jing and Hai Sha’s black panther. In the arena, Chen Jing had used Tai Chi to fight his enemy. In fact, due to the sudden enlightenment of more than half an hour earlier, as well as his subsequent digestion and comprehension, Chen Jing’s understanding of Tai Chi had already reached the peak. It could be said that no one in this world could surpass Chen Jing. As a result, Chen Jing’s tai chi charm was pleasing to the eyes. Coupled with his strong inner force, his hands and feet seemed both firm and supple.
Tai Chi emphasized on nothingness. The aura of nothingness was the essence of Tai Chi. Chen Jing was wearing a traditional white training outfit. His hands were light and he casually drew a circle in the air, looking soft and powerless, but the black panther’s seemingly powerful and overbearing punches and kicks were easily pushed aside by Chen Jing’s soft palm, which then caused the black panther’s body to spin on the stage. However, the panther only attacked once before spinning around the ring like a spinning top, and then turned around and left the ring in a daze.
The sixth, seventh and eighth matches were Qiu Yongqiang against Wu Rong, Wang Lei against Hai Sha’s Fire Fox, and Wang Zhafu against Southwest Falcon. There was naturally no suspense in these three matches.
After the first day of the competition, Little Qingshan’s group of four was promoted, while two members of the Yi An Society were promoted. In addition, only one person from the Falcon of the Southwest and Thirteen Mercenary Alliance entered the winner group.
The next day, after drawing lots, the first match was the highlight of the show: Wang Lei against Qiu Yongqiang.
Wang Lei had entered the Bone Forging stage three months ago. He had been diligently training these past few months, and with the help of beads and other resources, he had reached the peak of Bone Forging a week ago.
Qiu Yongqiang was also someone with great luck and was one step ahead of everyone else. Although he did not directly reach rank 2, he was not far from it. Just like Yang Xue, he would be able to break through as soon as he got the chance. Thus, Qiu Yongqiang entered the Second Order less than two months after the catastrophe. “Later on, like Hai Sha, Yi An stealthily learned Chen Jing’s inner force skill at the end of last year. After that, Qiu Yongqiang’s cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the Third Order a month before Chen Jing did. He is now a peak Third Order.
In terms of cultivation level, Wang Lei and Qiu Yongqiang were both at the peak of the Third Order. Who knew that once the battle started, Qiu Yongqiang would be too fast and Wang Lei’s attacks would only hit the afterimages. As a result, Wang Lei was actually forced to take a beating! How could this be? On one hand, Qiu Yongqiang was originally an agile contestant. Wang Lei found it hard to adapt to Qiu Yongqiang’s lightning-like attacks at the moment; on the other hand, although Wang Lei was also experienced in battle, his opponents were all dull zombies. It was the first time he was facing an agile opponent in a life-and-death battle.
Fortunately, Chen Jing had invented a rigid Qi Method called the Chen Clan Body Protection Technique. It was the method to infuse inner Qi into the skin. After testing it, one would find that it was really hard to injure with a blade or sword. This was really not bragging. Most people had seen the performance of the hard Qi Method on the streets, where one spear was pointed at the throat and the red tasseled gun was bent with brute force. Of course, this required a certain amount of skill, but it was true that the metal spear tip pierced the throat. Without the hard Qi skill, no matter how good the skill was, it would still be impossible.
To be honest, Wang Lei was originally a heavyweight fighter with rough skin and thick flesh. Plus, he had already mastered the Chen family’s body protection technique to perfection. His entire body seemed like it was covered by a golden bell and a metal shirt. As such, after numerous attacks, Wang Lei simply sat cross-legged in the middle of the arena with his eyes closed, allowing Qiu Yongqiang to strike him. Of course, this was not because of Wang Lei’s posturing, because the Body Protection Art was the most effective in cultivating it while sitting cross-legged. It was because the Body Protection Art was the most effective, and it was not because of its bragging, but because many people have seen it before, when buddhist masters fight their enemies, they often sit cross-legged on the lotus throne with their legs crossed. Many people did not understand why, but the truth was, it was because the defensive effect was the best. In addition, Wang Lei was also unwilling to passively take a beating. Blindly counterattacking seemed to be of no use right now, so Wang Lei sat down and closed his eyes to feel Qiu Yongqiang’s rapid movements.
At this moment, a strange scene appeared on the stage. Qiu Yongqiang was jumping around Wang Lei like a monkey, while Wang Lei was sitting on the ground like an old monk with his eyes closed, reciting a scripture.
As for Wang Lei, he sat on the ground and did his best to defend. At first, he was a bit flustered, but he slowly became adept at it. After a long time, Wang Lei had actually entered the Refinement Realm. He can do whatever he wants, and when the moon shines in the river tomorrow, he will be the one to blame.
Suddenly, Wang Lei felt the shackles in the depths of his soul suddenly explode. His soul flew out of his soul like a frog that had jumped out of the well, and his soul felt as if it was being released.
This was a strange feeling. An ethereal state of mind, indifference to everything, seeing flowers blossom and blossoming, listening to the rain beating bananas, the world’s honor and disgrace forgotten. His heart seemed to have already flown out of the arena, and his soul seemed to be standing atop a misty cloud, calmly looking down at everything with the intent of being born.
Later on, Chen Jing and the others determined Wang Lei to be a Xiantian expert, whereas the previous one was called the Houtian realm, because in the Houtian realm, the human body still couldn’t communicate with its surroundings. The body could only absorb energy through breathing and eating, and after entering the Xiantian realm, the body could communicate with the environment and absorb energy directly from the outside world. However, even if Chen Jing and the others racked their brains, they would still not be able to come up with a set of cultivation techniques. Chen Jing and the others were also lucky because this was indeed the case. When Yang Xue suddenly saw light after a long period of darkness, it caused her to sublimate, while Wang Lei felt a sense of calmness.
After Wang Lei entered the Upper Sky Realm, he forgot about the martial arts competition and focused all of his attention on experiencing the feeling. This was a completely different feeling from before. Wang Lei could clearly feel the energy entering his body through his acupuncture points.
Of course, this feeling wouldn’t last for long. One hit from Qiu Yongqiang brought Wang Lei back to reality, but Wang Lei didn’t open his eyes. He could clearly feel Qiu Yongqiang retreat and attack him from the right. However, in Wang Lei’s eyes, Qiu Yongqiang was no longer as fast as lightning and appeared to be as slow as a film. Therefore, Wang Lei gently waved his right hand and accurately hit Qiu Yongqiang’s fist.
The second match was between Chen Jing and Wei Dong, but Wei Dong gave up, and the third was between Zhang Jianjun and Yi An Society’s Lin Bin brother, Liu Bin. The third was Zhang Jianjun against Yi An Society’s Yi Bin, and the third was naturally Zhang Jianjun’s safety.
At this point, the four victors of the group were: Chen Jing, Zhang Jianjun, Wang Lei and Huang Xiaogang. The four victors of the group were: Wu Rong, Black Panther, Wang Zhanfu of Southwest Falcon, and Zhu Xiaojun of Yi’an Union.
The third round of the Losers Group was held on the third day. After three rounds of matches, Qiu Yongqiang won over Wu Rong, Yang Weidong and Shark and advanced by an absolute advantage.
