Chapter 219 Qualifying

While Wu Fan's cuff was cut by Ba Hai's blade, he raised his toes and lifted Long Eshuang, who was about to land, and grabbed it steadily in his hand. Then he turned his body and slashed at Gan Ning with a halberd.

On the other side, Gan Ning immediately rolled up after breaking free. Her body was surrounded by silver sword chains like a dazzling firework. Before Gan Ning could use his martial arts, Long E flash had already followed. The two collided. In the sound of a metal attack, Gan Ning was forced to go more than ten meters away.

After the body rolled in the air, Gan Ning landed steadily. It was not until then that everyone, including Wu Fan, saw Gan Ning's naked upper body, which was covered with tattoos, shaped like flowing water, matching the bronze skin, but added a sense of strength to the bandit spirit.

When the audience saw this scene, they couldn't help but boo.

Gan Ning raised his left elbow and rubbed the corner of his mouth, just like the signature moves in "True Three", which made Wu Fan quite familiar. Then he heard Gan Ning say:

"Interesting, I rarely meet an opponent. Today I will let go of my hands and feet and fight you."

After saying that, the Domineering Sea waved in his hand, and there was a blue tide beneath him. He shouted wildly, and his body was like an arrow from a string, rushing towards Wu Fan radially.

Martial Arts: Dragons go out to sea

But the tide on Gan Ning was initially just a waist-deep cluster. Less than a second before rushing to Wu Fan, it suddenly soared into the sky to form a giant * several meters high. It rushes straight towards Wu Fan with a tsunami-like rumble.

Wu Fan had seen martial arts with thunder, ice, fire and other attributes before, but he had never seen or heard of Gan Ning, a martial arts with water attributes. Naturally, he was not wary of the sudden rise of this tide so huge that it was too late to hide.

In a hurry, Wu Fan had to poke Long Eshang to his feet. With a dull sound that resounded over a thousand meters, Long Eshang poked into the stone tabletop under the wood about one meter deep at the same time, a huge rush came and swallowed Wu Fan.

At this moment, if it were other military generals under Cao, including Lu Bu, they would only be killed in front of Gan Ning. The reason is that they did not have the admiral skills and did not know the water. Although they were swallowed by the giant * for only a few seconds, the duel of the masters could decide the outcome in just one moment, let alone a few seconds.

Wu Fan is a rare general in Cao's camp who has the skills of admiral Gan Ning, this time he met his opponent.

Besides, Gan Ning at this time, the tattoo on the giant *'s body actually shines with fluorescent blue light, like scales, making Gan Ning like a fish in the water waves. People use the waves to quickly rush to Wu Fan, who was standing with a halberd, and in the water, a silver light flashed through the water. The speed was not affected at all, and he slashed at Wu Fan.

Wu Fan was shocked when he saw this. Although they both had admiral skills, Gan Ning's admiral skills were even stronger when complemented by his tattoos and weapons. He was undoubtedly the domineering person in the water. Water battle was his strongest point. In contrast, his admiral skills had no advantage in front of him.

As his thoughts turned, the situation could not be thought of by Wu Fan. When he saw Ba Hai slashing in front of him, he hurriedly dodged with Long E flash as an obstacle. Gan Ning saw that he had cut off the air with one knife and saw Wu Fan's speed of avoiding, he knew that Wu Fan also had the admiral skill. He couldn't help but secretly exclaimed in his heart: Unexpectedly, as a general from the north, Wu Fan actually had the ability of such a general in Jiangnan. In this way, he really couldn't take it lightly.

When he was thinking this in his heart, Gan Ning had already cut three more swords at Wu Fan, all of which were safely avoided by Wu Fan's ability to increase his support at a speed of 20.

Moreover, Wu Fan just dodged and did not attack, because he knew very well that fighting in the water, his attack would inevitably be greatly affected and it would not be possible to hurt Gan Ning. Since this is the case, he would not have to waste his energy anymore. He just waited for the giant * to pass and launched a intensive offensive, striving to defeat Gan Ning in one fell swoop, so as not to make any more things like giant * tsunami.

So, in the few seconds that the giant swallowed the two of them, Gan Ning cut thirteen swords at Wu Fan and was avoided by Wu Fan. When he hid in the back several swords, Wu Fan deliberately slowed down his speed, causing the illusion that he was already weak, so as to deceive Gan Ning and lay the foundation for the intensive offensive he suddenly launched.

Because this giant * is the continuous effect of Gan Ning's "Jiaolong Going to the Sea" martial arts, he was in it and could no longer activate new martial arts, and could only slash in the usual way. This is also one of the reasons why Wu Fan avoided it more calmly.

The two of them in the Giant * are like this, and the audience in the martial arts arena sees two completely different scenes. In the audience's sight, they only saw Gan Ning rushing towards Wu Fan on the Giant *, and the two were instantly swallowed by the Giant *.

Next, everyone was naturally unaware of the situation of the two people in the giant *. The soldiers of Cao camp and Wu Fan among the onlookers were shocked to see this scene, and they were all worried about Wu Fan. Some of the soldiers of Sun Jian's army knew that Gan Ning's move was powerful, and they were all proud at this time, thinking that Wu Fan, who was a military general from the north, would definitely be defeated in this battle.

Sun Jian, who was sitting not far away from Cao, turned his head and looked at Cao, with a proud smile on his face. Cao just didn't see it, and focused on watching the martial arts stage.

After a few seconds, the giant faded away, and the self-acting martial arts stage poured down, causing the audience close to the martial arts stage to fall, and many people were even rushed to the top of the crowd behind.

As the giant faded, Wu Fan and Gan Ning also appeared one after another. Seeing that Wu Fan was safe and sound, the audience in the martial arts are cheering, and the soldiers of Sun Jianjun were very shocked. Just as they were shocked, Wu Fan on the martial arts stage had already attacked quickly.

But when Wu Fan grabbed Long E Shan with one hand, he made him bend slightly, and at the same time kicked Gan Ning with one leg. This was an ordinary kick, Gan Ning easily avoided it with one side. Then Gan Ning was about to slash Wu Fan when he saw Wu Fan had already let go of Long E Shan, and at the same time reached out to grab Gan Ning's neck.

With Gan Ning's skill, although his speed is not as fast as Wu Fan, it is almost impossible to catch him with such an obvious intention. However, don't forget that the Long E flash that was released by Wu Fan made a "skip" sound like a spring, and Gan Ning rushed radially.

This hand came from two completely different directions, as if two people surrounded Gan Ning and made moves at the same time. Gan Ning had previously underestimated Wu Fan's speed due to Wu Fan's intentional paralysis. At this time, seeing Wu Fan suddenly making moves as fast as lightning, Gan Ning was shocked and had to hold the sea with both hands, hold the hilt of the knife tightly with one hand, hold the blade with one knife, and flash towards Long E. At the same time, his body moved sideways in order to avoid Wu Fan's grasp.

However, Gan Ning obviously underestimated the power brought by Long E flash. When Bahai's blade collided with Long E flash's halberd, a loud noise was heard in his ears. A huge force was directly transmitted from Long E flash to Bahai, and then quickly passed to Gan Ning's arms. Gan Ning's arms were numb and almost unconscious.

Just as Gan Ning was stagnant, Wu Fan's hand had already strangled Gan Ning's neck. He swung his force so that he could not swing the knife under the rotation. He ran away at a speed and threw a blow and pressed Gan Ning tightly under his body.

A back-struggle fall is to put your elbow on the opponent's chest, and then use the inertia of speed running to throw your body and the opponent's body together, and apply your own weight and the inertia formed during speed running to the opponent's chest through the elbow. Even if an ordinary person falls, it is very likely that the opponent's sternum will be broken. Even if the sternum is not damaged, this will be enough to prevent the opponent from standing up in a short period of time.

Of course Gan Ning is not an ordinary person, but Wu Fan who threw him was not something that ordinary people could do compared to this overwhelming blow, without any gorgeous scenes or special effects, but the one-to-one damage it caused was very huge.

So, after suffering from Wu Fan's back-breaking fall, Gan Ning had to groan. In the huge pain, even breathing was like a ten thousand needles piercing his chest, and he was unable to fight back.

Of course, Wu Fan would not stop there. In order to avoid injuring or even killing the contestants, the qi and blood value was limited to only two-thirds of the battlefield. In this way, even if the qi and blood bottomed out, life would not endanger.

After Gan Ning suffered this backlash, he was already at a bottom due to the limitation of qi and blood, but he was not unable to fight. At present, he was only in a temporary state of qi extinction, similar to thunder desire, and could not act independently in a short period of time. Once he recovered, he could still attack Wu Fan.

Therefore, while Wu Fan stood up, he took advantage of the opportunity to pull up one of Gan Ning's arm and threw it out in the direction of the coming. When Gan Ning's body was hit by dozens of meters away, he bounced up again and then fell directly under the stage.

Originally, Gan Ning's qi and blood value was not much. After this harsh fall, the qi and blood were suddenly at the bottom and they were unable to stand up. The referee in the audience quickly came to Gan Ning and confirmed that Gan Ning could no longer fight. After announcing that Wu Fan won the victory immediately after confirming that Gan Ning could no longer fight.

The audience immediately cheered again. If it were not for explicit bans, they would have to celebrate with drums and drums.

At this time, Cao finally changed his previous seriousness, smiled with his palms, turned his head to look at Sun Jian. Sun Jian was just like Cao before, just staring at the martial arts stage with a steady look; the difference was that he was not focused on the scene on the stage, but was already shocked by the scene in front of him and could not come back to his senses.

At this time, Wu Fan stood on the martial arts stage, waved to the audience who supported him, then pulled out Long E and froze and walked off the stage.

In terms of the number of rounds, the time is less than twenty rounds, and the time is shorter than five minutes. Moreover, Wu Fan defeated Gan Ning instead of Gan Ning admitting defeat. In this way, the comparison of all aspects is obviously more decisive and quicker than the previous showdown between Lu Bu and Taishi Ci.

However, in terms of performance, since Wu Fan had very few martial arts skills, every move looked ordinary, so he was not as exciting as the duel between Lu Bu and Taishi Ci.

The so-called laymen watch the excitement, while the experts look at the tricks; many ordinary people are very sorry that Wu Fan's confrontation is so simple, and some even think that this is a proof of Wu Fan's low force. However, the generals under various princes have completely different views on this: Wu Fan's moves are simple and clear, without any fancy, but extremely practical; each move is enough to deal with the opponent, and with extremely fast reaction and attack speed, if Gan Ning was not an ordinary person, he would have been defeated long ago.

The people were begged to not express their analysis and discussion on Wu Fan's military power, and then talk about it on the martial arts field.

The next fourth group of competitions are Zhao Yun and Sun Ce.

Although Sun Ce was terrifying and had good martial arts, he also scored points to compare with anyone. In front of Zhao Yun, whether it was personal force, experience in front of the battle, or flexibility in the use of martial arts, he was not a little bit inferior. After fifteen rounds of the two, Zhao Yun used a dense gun formation to make Sun Ce lose his qi and blood. Then, like Taishi Ci, he took the initiative to admit defeat.

In the following four competitions:

Zhang Liao vs Dian Wei, Dian Wei won.

Xu Zhu VS Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei won.

Hua Xiong VS Pang De, Hua Xiong won.

Wen Chou VS Xu Huang, Wen Chou wins.

The qualifiers ended here. During lunch, all the princes and their subordinates also had a banquet with Emperor Xian in the main palace of the palace in Yecheng.

When the qualifiers ended, it was around 2 pm, and then the loser battle was held, that is, the generals who lost in the qualifiers competed.

Just as the winner has to compete in three rounds, the loser has to compete in three rounds. The first round of the loser is: Xiahou Dun VS Taishi Ci, Gan Ning VS Sun Ce, Zhang Liao VS Xu Zhu, Pang De VS Xu Huang.

Perhaps there is no pressure to compete for rankings. These four groups of duels are very clear and all the competitions were completed by around 5 pm. The results of the competition are:

Xiahou Dun vs. Taishi Ci, Taishi Ci won.

Gan Ning vs Sun Ce, Gan Ning won.

Zhang Liao vs Xu Zhu, Xu Zhu won.

Pang De vs. Xu Huang, Xu Huang won.

According to the lottery rules, the next competition and possible rankings of these eight people can already be known, respectively:

Taishici VS Gan Ning, Xu Zhu VS Xu Huang; rankings are limited to 9~12.

Xiahou Dun VS Sun Ce, Zhang Liao VS Pang De: The ranking is limited to 13.

On the other hand, the winners in the qualifiers will compete tomorrow, and the competition situation is:

Huang Zhong VS Lu Bu, Wu Fan VS Zhao Yun, Dian Wei VS Zhang Fei, Hua Xiong VS Wen Chou.

Since the competition is tomorrow, it is naturally time to move freely tonight. For generals who value rankings, hurry up and pick up guns before going to bed. For generals who do not value rankings, take this opportunity to relax.

Wu Fan is the typical latter. In his opinion, this martial arts competition is an entertainment event, and his real strength needs to be seen on the battlefield. Some people may value that bounty, but for Wu Fan, it is just a string of numbers.

So, after the martial arts competition, Wu Fan returned to the inn and ordered people to set up a table of delicious wine and food, and drink it by himself.

In fact, Wu Fan could of course invite Lu Bu, Hua Xiong and others to have a drink together. However, although he was determined about this martial arts competition, he could not guarantee that others would have the same idea as him. If Lu Bu, Hua Xiong and others valued this martial arts competition and were not good at not coming after receiving his invitation, wouldn’t it be difficult for others to come?

Out of this mentality, Wu Fan did not call them, but enjoyed this rare tranquility in his own museum.

The layout of the inn is as follows: each inn has a separate courtyard, which is not big, but is spacious enough for one person. Next to the inn is a corridor, which is separated from the inn by a courtyard gate; several corridors separate several museum areas, and all the museum areas together form the entire inn.

Since the participating military generals have a certain reputation, Wu Fan is the most prominent among them. Living outside will definitely have many inconveniences, so their living, food and accommodation are uniformly arranged in this inn.

Wu Fan was still quite emotional about Yecheng. Last year, the battle between Yuan and Cao, and the main battlefield was not in Guandu in history, but around Yecheng. Later, Wu Fan also sat in Yecheng as the governor for several months, accumulating troops, money and food, and fought the last decisive battle with Yuan Shao.

Yecheng had just come out of the war while Wu Fan was in the formation, and everything was in trouble. After a concerted effort, Wu Fan and his subordinates finally completed the predetermined military indicators in just a few months, but also greatly improved the political indicators of Yecheng. Now under the governance of the prefect Zhang Zhao, Yecheng has completely escaped the trauma of war, and the various political indexes of the city have approached the full value, showing an unprecedented prosperity.

Thinking of this, Wu Fan was also very pleased. He poured another glass of wine. Just as he was about to drink it, he heard the knock on the gate of the yard. It seemed that a guest was visiting.

Wu Fan got up and left the house, came to the gate of the courtyard to open the door, but saw Taishi Ci standing outside the door and bowing to him:

"Governor Wu, suddenly, I hope I won't seem rude when I come to visit. I wonder if it's convenient to have a brief discussion with Governor Wu?"

The meaning of Taishi Ci's words was very clear, that was to visit Wu Fan. As for why he came to visit Wu Fan, it was nothing more than the fact that Wu Fan gave gold to his mother back then, which made Taishi Ci feel grateful. Taishi Ci was a very loyal person who would repay him with a little favor.

Of course Wu Fan would not refuse. He was bored drinking alone, so he made a chat with Taishi Ci and let him in.

At this time, Taishici's friend Gan Ning happened to walk over from the side of the road. After seeing Taishici, Gan Ning called out:

"Ziyi, where are you going?"

Wu Fan was blocked by Taishi Ci on the other side, and Gan Ning didn't see it, so he asked this question. When Taishi Ci turned around, Gan Ning was stunned when he saw Wu Fan and guessed that Taishi Ci might have visited Wu Fan. Then Taishi Ci said again, which was exactly what Gan Ning guessed.

Wu Fan said to Gan Ning at this time:

"Since Xingba is unable to stay in the museum, why not come here to have a few drinks together, how about it?"

Wine is a good thing, and very few generals don’t like drinking. Gan Ning, who has the skills of wine, is naturally not listed here.

Gan Ning's xìng style is originally very generous, liking freedom, and making friends; he can't stay in this stuffy inn, so he comes out to wander around. Now I heard that he has wine and friends Taishi Ci is accompanying him, so he naturally won't refuse.
