Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 949 Guard Selection
  Qin Ran frowned: "I am Qin Ran, who are you? What do you want from me?"

"I am Li Hong, the bodyguard under the command of the third prince, the thunder-runner!" The tall man chuckled: "Boy, you are lucky. The third prince has summoned me, so come with me!"

"The third prince summoned me?" Qin Ran was startled: "Why did the third prince summon me? Are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?"

Thunderman Li Hong said impatiently: "It's just you, there's nothing wrong with it! Stop talking nonsense and follow me quickly!"

Qin Ran was secretly wondering, had he made a mistake? With my performance just now, can I enter the Dharma Eyes of Nezha? Nezha's eyesight is too bad, right? Or maybe this guy has the wrong person? There are tens of thousands of people in this camp, and there might be someone with the same name as me!
  Immediately he asked without giving up: "I am Qin Ran from the Xuanwu Realm. I am 1,300 years old this year, and I have only ascended to the Immortal Realm for a few days. Are you sure that it is me, Qin Ran, whom the Third Prince Nezha summoned, and not another with the same name?"

Li Hong stared at his big eyes and said, "You are the one summoned by the third prince! You are really strange. When other ascended persons heard that the third prince had summoned them, who wouldn't be so happy that they danced with joy and ran over to them crawling on the ground? You Why is this kid so suspicious and making excuses?"

"Aren't I afraid that if you call the wrong person, I will be punished by the Third Prince?"

Qin Ran shook his head helplessly and could only follow Li Hong, the thunder hand.

The two of them sat on the teleportation array on the edge of the school grounds and were teleported directly to a majestic hall.

Nearly a hundred people were already standing sparsely on the white jade square in front of the palace, which was no less than a thousand feet in diameter.

Qin Ran took a quick glance and found that these people were all keeping a distance of more than ten feet from each other. They stared at each other with vigilance in their eyes, and the atmosphere was very wrong.

"Did you see that? Those are newcomers who have just ascended to the Immortal Realm and have only been in the camp for a few days."

Li Hong pointed at the people in the square and said: "They are also your competitors. The Third Prince will select ten people from among you to join the Beiwei Army. The remaining ninety people will be eliminated."

Qin Ran suddenly realized and thought to himself: "It turns out there is a competitive relationship. No wonder the atmosphere is so strange."

He nodded expressionlessly and walked slowly onto the square. Li Hong went straight to the palace to resume his duties.

As soon as he reached the square, several people turned their attention to him, staring at him with hostility and wariness.

One of them was two meters tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, and a horn on his forehead. He was an immortal who was a cultivator from an unknown species. He snorted coldly: "How dare such a pretty guy who relies on his face to participate in the selection of the third prince's personal army? What a laugh. He’s dead! If you’re interested, go home and eat soft food!”

As soon as these words came out, those people all burst into laughter. A freak with an acute-angled triangular head even scratched his neck with his thumb, making a malicious and threatening gesture.

Qin Ran was speechless.

He thought to himself that Nezha's eyesight was indeed very poor. In the big camp, the total number of camp heads under Nezha's command was 40,000. It is not difficult to select a hundred good-looking people out of forty thousand people, so why do you have to pick some crooked melons and bad dates?

Except for the two people with horns on their foreheads and sharp-angled triangles on their heads, at least half of the hundred people in the square had strange looks. And these weird-looking guys all have the same characteristic, that is, they are extremely violent, and you can tell at a glance that they are not good products.

"What kind of face will I have if I associate with these weirdos? Well, no matter why Nezha chose me, I will do my best to perform poorly in the next assessment." Qin Ran made up his mind and said: The two strange provocations were ignored, and they did not show hostility to their competitors like the others. They sat cross-legged in the square and closed their eyes to rest.

Not long after I sat down, I suddenly heard someone shout in surprise: "The Third Prince is out!"

When Qin Ran heard the sound, he opened his eyes and saw Nezha, who was covered in Hun Tian Ling and glowing with pale gold, walking out of the hall surrounded by dozens of personal guards.

After leaving the palace, Nezha didn't waste any time and directly announced the rules: "The rules for selecting personal guards this time are very simple. One hundred people are divided into ten groups, and each group of ten people fights with each other. The winner in the end can carry the name for me. The Great Guard."

His voice sounded crisp and childish, giving people a feeling of indistinguishability between male and female. Qin Ran couldn't help but secretly laugh: "The famous Santan Haihui God is actually a standard sissy! Well, this is the sequelae of the lotus incarnation. ?"

While he was laughing to himself, ten golden circles of light suddenly fell from the sky, covering the hundreds of immortals in the square. In each circle of light, there were exactly ten people, no more, no less. And in the circle of light where Qin Ran was, the big man with one horn who had just mocked him and the triangular head that threatened him happened to be among them!

"The one who gets out of the circle loses, the one who falls to the ground loses, and the one who injures someone to the death loses." Nezha said calmly: "Start now!"

He has a sweet voice, but he acts resolutely and without any nonsense, he announces the start of the selection in the blink of an eye.

But this made Qin Ran feel a little embarrassed: "Why is this selection so simple and crude? How can I deliberately perform poorly?"

He originally thought that even if there was a test of military force in the selection of personal guards, it should be put to the end. Before that, you should have an interview first to test your character, skills, and magical abilities, right?

His plan was to ask questions during the interview without knowing anything, or to deliberately talk nonsense and fail to convey what he wanted, in an effort to get himself dismissed during the interview stage.

He never thought that Nezha would act so straightforwardly and decide the outcome in a physical fight, which made Qin Ran's plan come to nothing.

"Pretending to lose?" He glanced at the big man with one horn and a triangular head who was walking towards him with a ferocious smile, shook his head and sighed: "Being defeated by such a person, even if I am pretending, I don't have a clear idea!"

The nine people in Qin Ran's circle surrounded him at the same time, as if they had a tacit understanding.

This is not because he is handsome and makes people jealous. It's because the other nine people are all martial arts loose immortals, and he is the only one who is a qi refiner. Of course, the nine martial arts loose immortals must join forces to eliminate him, the most threatening competitor.

The big man with the horn on his forehead gave a low shout, a yellow light flashed from his body, and his body suddenly swelled. In the blink of an eye, the burly figure that was already two meters tall became a two-foot-tall giant. And the whole body is shining with yellow light, as if it is made of brass.

Boom! His fists as big as millstones collided with each other, making a metal clang like a bell, and said with a ferocious smile: "Young boy, it's not easy to get along in the army. If you know what you're interested in, get out of the circle yourself. Otherwise, I will help you." The bones are loose!”

Qin Ran looked at the one-horned man with great interest and said with a smile: "What kind of species are you a demon immortal? In your world, animals can also practice martial arts? Can you also practice to the realm of shattering the void, ascending to immortality and transforming into a human being? You What kind of kung fu are you practicing? Monkey boxing?"

The one-horned man was furious and said: "You dare to tease me? Go to hell!" As he spoke, he punched Qin Ran.
