Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 257 Before the Contest (continued)

Xue Chang stood on the sidelines and yelled, and everyone on the field really listened to him, immediately stopped training, and walked to the sidelines one after another, but some people were still uneasy, so they heard Lu Lingyun say: "Xue Chang Brother, even if we go back to the room, we still won’t be able to sleep, thinking that if we… lose tomorrow, we’ll embarrass our master, so we’re still in the mood to sleep!”

"Senior Sister Lu, I also became nervous when you said that." Hu Qiudi followed up and said, the names between the two factions are so confusing.

Xue Chang laughed, and pointed to his five apprentices one by one: "You have only learned martial arts for less than two years—" He then pointed to Lu Lingyun and other disciples of the Goddess Palace: "Although you have been practicing martial arts since childhood, you have been practicing martial arts since childhood. Have you ever gone out to practice? Have you experienced the test of life and death?—”

He looked around at the crowd and said with emphasis: "There are hundreds of martial arts sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are so many strange people. Those who can be selected to appear in the martial arts conference are all outstanding figures from various sects. They not only possess unique skills, but also have rich experience in the world. However, they are all fledgling novices. Compared with them, they have no advantage at all. It is normal to lose, and it is worth celebrating when you win. Therefore, you should go to the competition with a normal heart, as if the imperial court specially prepared it for you novices. Experience, learning and accumulating fighting experience will help you improve your martial arts. You must take a long-term view. The most important thing is to protect yourself and don't get injured easily, otherwise you will not be able to continue to participate in the following competitions. There is no way to continue to improve, understand?"

"Understood!" All the disciples responded in unison, obviously feeling that their mood has relaxed a lot.

"Hurry up and go back to rest. I will go to check the room in a while. If anyone is not asleep, they will be caught and beaten with a board." Xue Chang joked, pretending to be vicious.

All the disciples burst into laughter.

"Brother Xue, I will open the door before I go to sleep, waiting for you to come to check the room, but do you dare?" Tang Lingyun said suddenly.

"How dare he, if Senior Sister Luo finds out, he will feel better." Lu Lingyun answered immediately.

The disciples burst into laughter again, and then quickly ran away.

"These guys are not big or small, but they dare to tease me." Xue Chang laughed and cursed, and immediately there was an angry voice behind him: "Yes, Master Xue, everyone listens to you very much. But who allows you to treat me like a goddess?" The disciples of the palace said such things, instigating them to be greedy for life and fear death in the competition, and not to fight with all their strength, are you trying to make my Goddess Palace embarrass me in front of the various factions of the Great Zhou Wulin?!"

"I said, Palace Master Gu, you have underestimated this martial arts conference too much. It is difficult for young people like them to control themselves not to attack with all their strength under the spotlight of all eyes, but they are all so nervous now. They will be more nervous, and how can they respond effectively in the fight, so I asked them to let go of their burdens and maintain a calm mind. Even if they encounter difficulties in the competition, remembering what I said tonight, they can calmly think about countermeasures and fully Show your abilities, are you right?" Xue Chang ignored Gu Shijing's anger and talked freely. After all, as a sports student in his previous life, he participated in many city sports games and provincial sports games from middle school to university. Although he hasn't won any good rankings, he has rich experience in competitions.

Gu Shijing snorted, and then mocked: "You are duplicity, telling them that failure is normal, but before you publicly declared in the palace that you want to defeat everyone and get the title of imperial concubine."

Xue Chang immediately retorted: "I'm seeking truth from facts, okay? I think I have the ability, so I dare to say this. I think they still have something lacking, so let them take it easy without pressure. Besides, I don't have any." Claiming that you want to defeat everyone is just saying that you want to get a title, so don't mislead everyone."

"Master Xue, you publicly said at the palace banquet that you would obtain the title through this martial arts conference?!" Zhou Wanyao asked in surprise.

"Yes, because the emperor said that if I can do it, he will agree to my marriage with Lanmeng." Xue Chang replied.

"But—" Zhou Wanyao waited to say more, but Xue Chang didn't want to get caught up in the chatter of a few women, and then said: "It's getting late, I have to go to rest quickly, so that I can recharge my batteries and prepare for tomorrow's match." Dou. Go to rest quickly, you will also play tomorrow, besides, going to bed early is also good for your skin."

After Xue Chang finished speaking, he turned and left.

Zhou Wanyao was embarrassed to stop him, so she could only ask Gu Shijing: "Senior sister, is what you just said true?"

"Can I still lie to you?" Gu Shijing said angrily, and then briefly talked about what happened to Xue Chang at the palace banquet.

Zhou Wanyao's face quickly showed worry, and she complained: "It is so easy to pass the martial arts conference and finally defeat one or two of the six warriors who protect the country! If he can't do it, the emperor will Can't break the promise, marry Meng'er to him, and then try to find other ways, but it will be difficult! Why is this child so impulsive!"

After these days of getting along, Zhou Wanyao had unknowingly regarded Xue Chang as her son-in-law, and even changed her address in a hurry.

"Senior Sister, don't worry. We've all seen it these days. Master Xue is not an impulsive person. I think he made the agreement with the emperor because he was sure. In this way, things will become simpler. He We have successfully obtained the title of knighthood, and the emperor granted us a marriage, so Master Liu and us have nothing to worry about." Yan Ranling comforted Zhou Wanyao.

"But...but things are not that simple—" Zhou Wanyao sighed softly, wanting to say something else.

Yan Ranling interjected again: "Senior sister, don't think about it too much. Things have already happened. We can't change it now. Let's worry about tomorrow's affairs first. To be honest, I was also a little nervous just now. , I have really relaxed a lot, so, for a female sect like ours, at critical moments, there must be a man in front to support it."

"Yan Ranling, what do you mean by that!" Gu Shijing asked angrily when she heard this.

Yan Ranling ignored it, turned around and walked towards the bedroom, and waved her hands: "Everyone, go to rest quickly, get your spirits up, and try to have a good start tomorrow."

Half an hour later, the candles in the Goddess Palace were all extinguished, and it was completely immersed in the silence of the night...

..........................................................................................

In the early morning of the second day, Xue Chang still woke up from the systematic Nine Suns Divine Art practice on time as before. He felt refreshed and energetic. He turned over and got up, pushed open the wooden window, and immediately the golden sun shone in. After entering the house, the whole room was dyed golden, and at the same time, the breeze was blowing on the cheeks, which made people feel refreshed.

Today is really a good weather for a contest! … Xue Chang looked at the clear blue sky outside the window, feeling more and more cheerful.

After washing and eating breakfast, Xue Chang ran into Tang Lingyun, the first disciple of the Goddess Palace, and said that she "has black eyes, she must have not slept well last night, she must be timid and afraid..." and so on.

In fact, martial arts practitioners occasionally can't sleep well for a day, and there is no such obvious expression on his face, but his face is serious, Tang Lingyun is a little guilty, and desperately defends, but other people see the clue, and they are relieved. Thinking: Even the master sister with the best martial arts is like this, it is normal for me to not sleep well...

Everyone's nervousness was instantly relieved.

After breakfast, the three carriages sent by the empress dowager Liu Lingying also arrived, and everyone packed up and was ready to go.

Xue Chang looked at the five apprentices standing in front of him. They were dressed in the strong clothes of the Xiaoyao School, with swords and knives. They were all full of energy and dignified. When he recalled the shabby appearance of them when he first accepted them as apprentices, he couldn't help feeling deeply, so He said with a serious face: "This time you represent the Xiaoyao faction to participate in the martial arts competition. As a teacher, I hope you will remember-try not to get injured. This time the martial arts competition is very long, and there are only five of you in our Xiaoyao faction, and one of you was injured. , there is no one to replace, so if you find that the situation is not good in the competition, you should quickly admit defeat without any shame.

As a teacher, I firmly believe that you will be famous all over the world in the future, and my Xiaoyao Sect will also be powerful because of you, but now that you are still young, let's take this martial arts conference as a good test first, and participate more Compared with fighting, you can experience more martial arts of various schools in the world, and accumulate experience from them, which will help you improve your martial arts, understand? "

"Understood, Master!" The five disciples responded in unison.

"In addition, I can't follow you to the arena, so after you arrive at the arena, you must follow the command of your elder brother in all actions. If you let me know who dares to disobey his call and mess around without authorization, I would rather be less in the future. If you hit someone, you will never let him play again, understand?!" Xue Chang looked at Fan Mastiff when he said this.

Therefore, when responding, Fan Mastiff's voice was the loudest: "Understood, Master!"

"Master, if the big brother plays or leaves temporarily for other reasons, one of the four of us must take on the responsibility of leading the team, right?" Hu Qiudi said.

Xue Chang was stunned for a moment, he really didn't consider this point, thought about it, nodded and said: "Your suggestion is very good. How about this, Xiaoxi is the captain, you will be the vice-captain, and you will be in charge when he is not around." Take care of everyone, understand?"

"Yes, Master!" Hu Qiudi responded happily.

Fan Mastiff pouted.

"Xiaoxi, if you encounter difficulties and cannot solve them when you get to the arena, you can ask Elder Zhou from the Goddess Palace and Master Jiang from our patrol department for help. I have already told them." Xue Chang reminded.

Since the results of martial arts sects in various regions at this martial arts conference may affect Emperor Taixiang's perception of the patrolling divisions in each region, most of the patrolling division commanders also came to Luoyang, and Jiang Shijia was no exception. Because of the special nature of the palace, I made a special visit to the house, but was surprised to find that the Xiaoyao faction also lived in this mansion.He himself shouldered the responsibility of taking good care of the disciples of various sects of Bashu martial arts who came to Beijing, so that they could win a better ranking in the martial arts competition, so when Xue Chang mentioned this to him, he of course agreed without hesitation .
