Yesterday we only talked about the requirements for the martial arts competition, but we haven’t said how to compete specifically. It’s impossible for five princes and 15 retainers to rush forward and start a melee!

Li Qiankun did not continue speaking. A young eunuch appeared on the martial arts arena and began to read the imperial edict!

"This competition will be conducted in the form of a ring battle, divided into four rounds: one for the princes and three for the retainers. The champion and the order of challengers will be determined by drawing lots. Each person will only have one chance to compete. After a round, regardless of winning or losing, they will not be allowed to compete again. Each victory over an opponent earns one point! The prince with the highest score at the end wins!"

Hearing this, Li Xingyun was stunned. No wonder the people were allowed to come and watch the battle!

In such a competition, the score is no longer controlled by Li Qiankun and several clan elders, and it doesn’t matter whether the common people see it or not!

No! It can't be said that it doesn't matter. When the people see the power of the prince and his retainers, it can strengthen their faith in the court and enhance their cohesion. This is a good thing!

"The first match is a competition among retainers. Princes, please come forward and draw lots to decide the champion and the order of challenge!" Before Li Xingyun could think about it, the little eunuch read it out again.

"I'll go first!" Li Xinghu was the first to run up and shout.

At this moment, no one was competing with him, and it didn't make much difference who came first or last!

"Second Prince, please!" The young eunuch took out a tray that had been prepared in advance.

There are five black iron tokens on the tray, and there is no difference when viewed from the back!

Li Xinghu glanced around and saw nothing, so he stretched out his big hand to grab the token in the middle. When he picked up the token and looked at it, a look of surprise appeared on Li Xinghu's face!

"The second prince drew token number two and will be the first to challenge the champion!" The little eunuch read out the result loudly to everyone!

No wonder he was so happy. If he had confidence in the abilities of his men, the sooner he went on the field, the better!

After all, the champion can always be there, and he can win a point by defeating a challenger!

The second person to draw the lot was the third prince Li Xingfan, and he chose the first token on the left!

"The Third Prince has drawn token number one and is the champion of this round of competition!"

The third one was the sixth prince Li Xingmin. Although they did not communicate with each other, following Li Xinghu's initiative, they began to draw lots silently according to their age order!

Li Xingmin chose the second token on the left!

"The Sixth Prince drew token number four and is the third challenger in this round of competition!"

Next was the eighth prince Li Xingfeng, who chose the first token on the right!

"The Eighth Prince drew token number three and is the second challenger in this round!"

Then it was Li Xingyun's turn. He didn't have much choice. There was only one token left that had not been turned over. He flipped it over and turned away. Everyone knew what the result would be!

"The Thirteenth Prince drew token number five and is the fourth challenger in this round of competition!"

The young eunuch waited for Li Xingyun to return to his seat and sit down before continuing, "Please, Third Prince, send your retainers to the stage!"

Li Xingfan glanced at the three bald men, then looked at one of them and said, "Huiming, you come for the first battle!"

"Amitabha! I will definitely not let His Majesty down!" Huiming clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist name to Li Xingfan, then turned and walked towards the arena.

That’s right, just walk up step by step, without any frills, as plain and simple as a passerby!

"What is the origin of this old monk? Why does he look... so ordinary?" Some confused people looked at Huiming's actions and were suddenly puzzled!

"I just heard the Third Prince call him Huiming?"

"Hui Ming? A monk of the Hui generation, wouldn't that mean he's a generation older than the current abbot of Shenwu Temple?"

"That's true, but I don't know if Huiming is from Shenwu Temple!"

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

When Huiming stepped onto the stage, the young eunuch spoke again.

"Second Prince, please send your retainers to the stage to challenge!"

The second prince Li Xingfan looked at the monk who came on the stage for a few seconds, then turned to look at the gun king behind him and spoke.

"Then, Senior, you will be the first to fight!"

"Yes!" The gun king nodded, took a step forward, and swung the spear in his hand from back to front. The tip of the spear touched the ground, and with a bang, the ground exploded and the gun body bent!

The next second, the bent gun body recovered, and the gun king fell onto the stage like thunder.

"Amitabha!" Huiming put his hands together, bowed, and then began to introduce himself!

"Shenwu Temple! Huiming, meet the donor!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they caused a huge uproar!

"He really is the Hui generation from Shenwu Temple. This monk must be extremely powerful!"

"Fuck! If you're excited, then so be it. But why are you grabbing my arm? It hurts!"

"This martial arts competition is going to be exciting again. The champion is actually a high-ranking monk from the Hui generation of Shenwu Temple. Who can win?"

The discussions of the people underground could not interfere with the two people on the stage at all. The gun god was not surprised at all when he heard Huiming introduce himself. They were both top masters of the older generation. Naturally, they had met each other before, but they had never fought each other, so they didn't know who was stronger!

"Youzhou, that family, that Jincun! Master, please teach me!" Jincun spoke slowly.

"That family in Youzhou? That Jin Cun? Have you heard of this person?"

"No, but from the looks of it, he must be an expert. I don't know why I haven't heard of him before!"

"You don't know about that family in Youzhou? They're known as a family of spear masters, with five spear masters in one family. It's simply terrifying!"

The name Jin Cun did not surprise the people too much. After all, his era had passed and Youzhou was far away from Shenwu City. It was normal that the people had not heard of him!

However, some people mentioned the reputation of that gun king.

It is normal that the common people don’t know about Jin Cun, after all, he was a figure from a hundred years ago, but several princes have heard of him!

"The ancestor of that family, the King of the Golden Inch Spear? That's really interesting!" Li Xingyun commented with a smile.

Two hundred years ago, that family was still a very small martial arts family. The strongest one was just a Martial Saint. However, they had a talented child, Jin Cun. Jin Cun showed a terrifying talent for cultivation since he was a child!

He entered the martial arts at the age of ten, reached the realm of grandmaster at the age of twenty-two, and became a martial saint at the age of thirty. He was known as the number one genius in Youzhou. At the age of thirty, Na Jincun stopped practicing hard and began to challenge the masters of the world. It took him another twenty years to break through to the land immortal, become the number one master of the family, and lead the family to become a top family!

With the rise of Na Jincun, the reputation of Na family began to resound throughout the Shenwu Empire. Now, more than a hundred years have passed, and Na Jincun is likely to have reached the pinnacle of the immortals on earth!
