Volume 1: Wrath of the West Chapter 33 Round Battle
"That's right. The one who defeats all challengers and is still standing on the stage is the winner."
Obviously, this is a round-robin battle.
"If all the strong ones are used up, won't the weak ones standing by at the beginning take advantage?"
"After each round of fighting, the champion is allowed to rest for a quarter of an hour. If someone still takes advantage of him, he can only blame his bad luck. After all, brains and strategies are also part of strength."
After nodding slowly, Xu Rui smiled.
"Teacher, this idea was made by the young master, right?"
"how do you know?"
"Ma Changan, Bai Jiang and others have practiced martial arts since childhood and have a solid foundation. Even though we are selected from the lower nine classes, we are not as good as them in just one year. If we fight one-on-one, Bai Jiang and others will definitely get the top place."
"But if it's a chaotic fight, we, the lower class, can still rely on our large numbers to constantly consume them, thus standing out and getting a good ranking."
Master Chen nodded.
"You're right. But this is bad for you."
Of course Xu Rui knew that it was disadvantageous to him.
He had long been recognized as the best among the crowd, and a thorn in the eyes of those second-generation Xi'ling people.
He will definitely be beaten up.
"Teacher, don't worry. It won't be that easy for them to defeat me in a round-robin match."
Seeing his confident expression, Master Chen didn't say anything discouraging anymore.
Patted him on the shoulder.
"come on."
…
After breakfast, Chen Yulou brought Hua Maguai to the martial arts training ground.
"Don't worry."
Hong Girl and Kunlun came over to greet them.
After smiling and nodding.
"Where are Master Chen and Master Wu?"
"Master Chen is explaining the rules to the disciples who are participating in the competition today. Old Dog Chen hasn't come out today." said Miss Hong.
When she mentioned the latter, her words were full of disgust.
If they were not from the same group as Xiling and if Chen Laogou's dogs were not difficult to deal with, she would have killed this sinful old beast long ago.
Chen Yulou automatically ignored the malice in Hong Girl's words and glanced at Master Chen who was busy in the distance.
"Knapper, go find Elder Chen and see how he is doing."
Hua Maguai took the order and left, but soon returned.
"Elder Chen said that he had gained a little knowledge from his comprehension of the spirit talisman today, and that he would be practicing in seclusion for a few days, and would not be attending the martial arts competition. He also asked me to take him to apologize to the young captain."
Chen Yulou frowned slightly, then quickly started laughing.
"Elder Chen's breakthrough is just in time. Never mind, let him be. Let's go to the ring."
Hua Maguai and Hong Girl looked at each other and understood each other.
The young master was young and frivolous, and he had no achievements to commend him when he first ascended the throne, so naturally he could not win the support of the people.
Among the four halls of Dragon, Tiger, Leopard and Crane in Xiangling, except for the Crane Hall led by Hua Maguai who voluntarily submitted, many high-ranking officials of the Dragon, Tiger and Leopard Halls, as well as the 19th branch halls, were somewhat hypocritical.
This is also the reason why Chen Yulou insisted on setting up the "Blood Hall".
Only the power that you have built up yourself can be used as if it were your own arm.
Chen Yulou walked quickly with the three of them to the seats reserved for them and sat down with his arms and legs spread out.
Master Chen here has already told everyone the rules of the competition.
In normal competitions, those who ranked higher would have ugly expressions.
After all, they are confident that they can defeat most people in a one-on-one fight, but if they fight in a round-robin battle, they will be exhausted.
Those who fall behind in the competition will be happy. They will stay at the back and wait until all those in front of them have been killed. Then they will have a chance to compete for the championship and their hopes will be greatly increased.
"Master, everything is ready, can we start?"
Just as Chen Yulou was about to give an order, the sound of somewhat chaotic footsteps suddenly came from a distance.
I turned my head subconsciously to look.
Seven or eight people walked in.
At the front was a fifty-year-old man wearing a green robe with gold trim, with narrow eyes that gleamed with brilliance, and a dignified and solemn aura.
On his left is a tall and strong man wearing black shorts, nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a lion's nose and a wide mouth, and walking with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.
On the right is a middle-aged man wearing a moon-white gown.
The short hair divided into three parts was obviously carefully groomed and not a single strand was out of place; the pale face was slightly thin, with extremely thin lips and a smile, revealing a hint of femininity.
The three of them were walking in the front, and the people behind them were also quite imposing, but obviously not as good as them.
Soon, everyone noticed this group of impressive troops.
A trace of gloom flashed across Chen Yulou's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and he walked forward with a smile on his face.
"father."
"The head."
The dignified old man in the middle nodded to Hong Gu Niang, Hua Ma Guai and others.
"Old Four, I've troubled you for more than a year."
Master Chen shook his head slightly.
"My long-cherished wish is to spread Meishan boxing. The young captain's move can be regarded as fulfilling my wish."
His smile faded as he looked at Chen Yulou who was bowing.
"Get up, take me to see the blood hall where you have been practicing for a year."
"Dad, please."
Chen Yuntian nodded and walked in front, with everyone following behind.
At this moment, the crowd was talking about everyone and speculating about their identities. From the slightly proud explanations given by those young men from the inner circle of Xiling who had quite a background, everyone understood their identities.
The tall and muscular man with an extraordinary aura was Ma Shirong, the leader of the Xiangling Tiger Hall.
The man wearing a moon-white robe and with a feminine temperament is Bai Wushuang, the leader of the Xiangling Leopard Hall.
Xu Rui, who was looking at several people, suddenly felt a sharp gaze. He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a black robe, with a slightly protruding forehead, deep eyes and eagle-like eyes.
The other person looked at him with scrutiny and hidden murderous intent.
"Thank you, Dahai!"
Although Xie Changfeng's death was suppressed by Chen Yulou, it could not be hidden from the powerful deputy leader of the Leopard Hall.
If there was no direct evidence, I'm afraid they would have come to my door long ago .
The two looked at each other. Although they were far apart, they could clearly feel the sharpness in each other's eyes.
"Dahai, what's wrong ?" Bai Wushuang noticed something wrong with his subordinates.
"I saw the Third Young Master."
Xie Dahai smiled.
"In more than a year, this kid has made a lot of progress."
Looking at Bai Jiang from afar, Bai Wushuang showed a smile on his face.
"Dad, my third brother has made great progress in strength. I would like to thank the young master for his cultivation."
Standing behind Bai Wushuang, a handsome young man also wearing a moon-white robe smiled.
"Haha, Feng'er reminded me that one should remember the well-digger when drinking water. My unfilial son should thank the young master for his training and instruction for what he has today."
Chen Yulou smiled and cupped his hands.
"Master Bai, you are too polite. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Master Chen. He has been the one who taught you for more than a year."
Although they are both disciples of Xiangling, Master Chen of Fenshulongtang has little friendship with Bai Wushuang and dislikes his personality.
His expression was calm, "Don't be so polite, I am just being loyal to you."
After he finished speaking, he bowed to Chen Yuntian and said, "Boss, it's almost time. Shall we start?"
