Chapter 256: Four Elephants Formation, Single Winner(1/2)
Five hundred years ago, there was no war in the world.
The great merchants have ruled the world and cultivated themselves for three hundred years. This is the peak moment of the wealthy family.
At that time, the competition between counties and cities was far more intense than it is today.
All the major families will use all their means to win, and their geniuses will appear frequently.
In order to suppress the military force that flourished in the prosperous times, the imperial court also tried its best and went all out in the county-city competition.
It can be said that the county-city competition five hundred years ago was more eye-catching than the imperial examination. No one in the world knew about it.
Once he shows his prominence in the competition, this person will definitely be a peerless genius who will surpass his generation and have full gold content.
"The current Master of Youdu Palace is the unparalleled genius who achieved great fame in the competition back then, and overpowered all the geniuses of that generation."
When Li Qingwan said this, she paused for a moment, and then continued: "All of you should be prepared. This competition may be cruel, and someone may die.
If anyone doesn’t want to, dare not, or doesn’t want to participate in the competition, you can tell me privately later, and I will never pursue anything."
Everyone looked at each other, and although they were a little shocked in their hearts, they had no personal feelings, and no one had any intention of retreating.
They are all outstanding men and women of the new generation. They don’t know how cruel and fierce the competition was hundreds of years ago.
It is impossible to extinguish their current high enthusiasm with just a few words.
Tie Tang realized the problem, but he maintained his own strength and was not afraid of any talented people from the same place. Instead, he had another question.
"With officials from the imperial court supervising the war present and many county guards, county magistrates and other officials present, there must not be many casualties, right?"
Even though only Marquis Zhongyong was present in the previous competition, his strength was enough to terminate any competition while ensuring absolute fairness.
Unless it was an extremely anxious and tragic battle, it would be impossible for anyone to kill his opponent under his nose.
And this is indeed the case.
In the fight in Renxia County, many people were injured, but no one died.
Li Qingwan raised her eyebrows and said slowly: "This is also one of the points that worries me."
"In this competition, the officials sent by the imperial court to supervise the battle are not the princes of one side, but the prince of Sixiang Hou.
This prince was born five hundred years ago. Although he has excellent qualifications, he has been trapped in the realm of the witch god and cannot open the door to the fairyland.
And.
Although the prince's name sounds nice, he does not hold any real official position. He only has some titles. Whether it is his cultivation strength or his reputation and prestige, it is not enough to overwhelm other governors, including me.
Therefore, there may also be some variables."
Li Qingwan didn't shy away from any words, she just said what was in her heart.
It can be seen from this that the prestige of the prince of Sixianghou is indeed insufficient.
Tie Tang understood her words.
This means that when there is a problem in the competition, there will not be many people who can come to the rescue in time.
Only those wizards and Taoists in the realm of witch gods and celestial witches can have this strength.
Most of these people have complex identities, have their own positions and backgrounds, and cannot be truly impartial.
Unlike the great competition under the supervision of the loyal and brave Marquis, no one dared to have any dissent, because it was meaningless and could not be hidden from the eyes of the Marquis.
But now
But it is completely different.
Maybe someone will come up with new ideas.
"In addition, the rules of this competition are also due to the recommendation of this prince to recreate the rules of five hundred years ago.
Of course, this is a statement on the surface. Whether it is really true on the inside is a matter of opinion.
In this competition, we will be the first to use the ‘win battle’ to compete.
The nine major counties and cities are competing for the throne of the king. We no longer have the opportunity to choose our opponents like we did before."
"Win the battle?"
"Wouldn't that be chaos?"
"If the nine major counties and cities compete together, wouldn't it mean that some counties and cities with good relations will join forces in private?"
"Wouldn't this be a little unfair?"
Everyone was talking a lot, obviously they did not expect that the rules of the competition would change so drastically, which caught everyone off guard.
Long Yu pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Winning the championship is a good thing for us. What do you think, sir?"
"It's a good thing for you, but it may not be a good thing for me." Tie Tang slowly shook his head.
After everyone discussed for a while, Li Qingwan raised her hand again to signal for silence.
"The battles for this competition are divided into three categories: single player, multi-person collaboration, and Jiuquhua Street.
According to different realms, corresponding personnel will be dispatched to participate in the seven levels of physical body exchange realm, dragon origin realm, magical power realm, spiritual wisdom realm, heavenly mind realm, magical witch secret realm, and literary battle.
The rankings of this competition will be reset based on the specific scores of the nine major counties and cities."
Li Qingwan explains the rules of the competition one by one, which is not difficult to understand.
No matter how the rules change, strength will ultimately speak for itself. Without sufficient strength, it is impossible to achieve a higher ranking.
The competition is not about setting a standard to see who has a higher degree of completion.
Rather, the competition between the nine major counties requires absolute hard power. Even if I am only one point better than you, I can still achieve better results.
After the conference dispersed.
Tie Tang, Long Yu, Li Yao, and Ji Yingzhe returned to their residences.
Everyone has their own ideas. How to implement them depends on the situation during the competition and the actual opponents they encounter.
Compared with the slightly nervous four people, Tianwen, Li Geng and Zhen Guandong are much more comfortable.
Their old gods were half-lying on the Taishi chair, drinking wine and drinking tea, looking like they were taking care of themselves.
Zhen Guandong, in the name of Tie Tang, ordered a table full of delicacies, which made him smile happily and make his mouth water.
"What's going on? It looks like something's not right, everyone is looking sad." Tianwen didn't feel any burden to not participate in the competition.
Li Geng didn't even look down on Dabi at all: "You two made the most of your skills and won just standing on the court. How many masters can Dabi have?"
"We're drinking soup. It doesn't hurt to stand and talk one by one." Tie Tang stepped forward and kicked both of them away.

"Woooooo~ It's delicious, brother, want some?"
"My brother, who is so good at eating, is about to be unable to support you. He is about to turn into a younger brother." Tie Tang looked at a table full of delicacies and knew that most of them were paid for by himself.
"The Sa family is rich!"
Zhen Guandong shook his waist and threw out large chunks of gold, shining brightly.
The gold is not fake, but it is a pity that it cannot be circulated in the world without the imperial seal.
Tie Tang laughed and touched Zhen Guandong's hair, but didn't take it to heart.
"Today's competition is no better than before. In fact, the most exciting ones are the first three competitions." Li Geng sat down again.
"Dare to ask the Taoist priest for advice."
"In the first three great competitions, both Buddhist and Taoist disciples participated, and even disciples from the Corpse Exorcist lineage appeared.
Especially for the first and final Tianjun Grand Competition, the Emperor personally came to supervise the battle, and all the civil and military officials from the entire court were present.
That kind of grand occasion
Tsk, tsk, I know what kind of scenery it is just from reading the books of my master."
Tie Tang said in surprise: "Can you also participate in the county-city competition?"
"Strictly speaking, we are also members of the Great Shang Dynasty, and our area does not exceed the human world. Why can't we represent our own county to participate?"
"The truth is this, but why was it canceled later?"
"The sharp edge has overshadowed the limelight of other counties and cities, causing dissatisfaction among some officials. Starting from the fourth competition, sect disciples will not be allowed to participate in the war."
Tie Tang nodded: "Without the sect disciples like you, it does lose a bit of charm."
"Today's county-city competitions are worse than the last. There are not many masters left. You are a rare commodity."
"No matter what, it is still related to the future of a county for thirty years, and someone will still come forward." Tie Tang said meaningfully.
"I feel boring anyway."
"I agree with Niubi's statement." Tianwen raised his hands.
"You are a little crazy. You don't think the disciples of the sect are so powerful, do you?"
"What? You want to fight one-on-two? Monk, show him some color."
"Can Niubi command me? I'll give you a punch first."
"Sneak attack? How shameless."
