Urban Peach Fortune Appraiser
Chapter 256 Cruel trials
Although the old man spoke to everyone, his eyes always glanced at Qin Zhouxu and Lie Xiong intentionally or unintentionally. Lie Xiong glanced at him, curled his lips, and said to Qin Zhouxu in a low voice, "He is the head of the Tujia family. Du Hai, I like to meddle in my own business."
Qin Zhouxu raised his head and took a look. The old man was in his 40s. He secretly opened Vulcan's eyes and glanced at him. The strength at the beginning of the second stage of the Xuan stage was the level he had just finished with Shui Zhirou.
Speaking of the Du family, he thought of that papaya again, Du Ruolan, she is Shui Zhirou's best friend, and he doesn't know if she has come to the family meeting this time.
"This family meeting is different from the past. The patriarchs of the five great families have all come here, and they have also invited distinguished guests, namely the elders of the Thunder God Hall and the alchemists of the Fuyun Hall. When the time is right, they will meet with everyone. At the end of Du Hai's speech, he couldn't help but become agitated.
"It's as if he's going to the Temple of Thunder himself, and he doesn't know why he's so excited?" Lie Xiong complained in a low voice, he just couldn't understand Du Hai scolding them every time, making himself superior.
Qin Zhouxu came back to his senses, "Well, let's listen to what he has to say first." The other patriarchs didn't show up, and Du Hai became more and more enthusiastic about talking, "Let me tell you about the main arrangements of this family meeting. "
"First of all, we will conduct the selection of young talents, divided into two groups, one group is the competition of practitioners, and the other group is the selection of alchemists. The latter has a special situation. I will talk about it later, let me talk about the first one The situation, what is the purpose of cultivation is to make yourself stronger, how can you know whether you are strong or not, there is only one way, and that is competition." Du Hai said the purpose of today.
There was a commotion in the audience. Most of the children of the aristocratic families knew that this time they were here to select talents for the Temple of Thunder, but they didn’t expect it to be so direct. It seems that I am afraid that is not the case.
"Brother, if we draw a group later, I won't show mercy to you." The two brothers Zhai Rang and Di Xun from the Jin family were also the outstanding ones who came to the conference this time. The two brothers were of similar age. The strength is also limited, and they are all about the strength of the second stage of the yellow rank, but the cultivation base of the gold system has a great relationship with weapons.
So which one of them is stronger or weaker mainly depends on whether there are magic weapons to help out. With the bonus of magic weapons, a gold master with a second stage of yellow rank can even defeat an ordinary black rank master.
Eldest brother Zhai Rang smiled, "Well, I won't let you either, but it's best that both of us brothers can be selected. I heard that there are not many opportunities to go to the ancient family. It only happens once in a few years. I don't know if it will be the next time." When is it?"
Di Xun nodded, "It would be the best if you can go with Big Brother, but among these people, there may not be many who can beat us. Big Brother, Younger Brother is waiting for you in the final."
The two talked vigorously, as if the first and second places were already in their pockets, and there were not a few people who had the same thoughts as the two brothers.
"Sister Shui, you must be fine. If I am unfortunately assigned to a group with you later, please let me play for a while before going down, otherwise it will be too embarrassing." Du Ruolan was squeezing beside Shui Zhirou , she came at about the same time as Shui Zhirou, and she met her from the very beginning.
Shui Zhirou smiled, "Okay, I promise you, I will let you show off enough on stage, and then come off, okay?"
Shui Zhirou is now only one step away from Xuan rank, more than two ranks higher than Du Ruolan's strength, fighting her can be said to be instant kill.
However, their sisters have deep affection, and their girlfriends have a good face, and they don't want to lose face in front of so many people. Shui Zhirou is also willing to help. Killing her instantly with one move is really a bit outrageous.
Standing on the other side of Shui Zhirou is Shui Zhiqing, she always has a mysterious smile on her face, she looks confident, Shui Zhiqing's only imaginary opponent is her sister.
Ever since Shui Zhiqing and Shui Zhirou successfully completed their double break with the help of Qin Zhouxu's power, the masters of the younger generation in the aristocratic family have been unable to catch her eyes.
Shui Zhiqing is not Shui Zhirou, she has deep scheming, she has made a comprehensive understanding of the strength of the outstanding young people in the aristocratic family, and based on the statistics she has obtained, no one can compete with the two sisters.
She just needs to figure out one thing, how many people can be selected to enter the ancient sect this time, if there is only one person, then her hope is very slim, besides defeating Shui Zhirou, there is another bigger threat, Qin Zhou imaginary.
But for Qin Zhouxu, what Shui Zhiqing wanted was not to surpass him in strength, but to try every means to blackmail him. She believed that Qin Zhouxu would not disregard his friendship and insist on stepping on her to enter the ancient sect.
If there are two places, then what she hopes to see most is that she and Qin Zhouxu are selected. In that case, she only needs to get rid of her own sister Shui Zhirou.
If you want to win Shui Zhirou, you can't do it by strength alone, you have to use some tactics. If there are more than three places, then Shui Zhiqing doesn't have to bother at all. She has figured it out a long time ago. .
But Qin Zhouxu in another corner didn't think so, "Oh, it's a pity that this kind of thing has nothing to do with us. Rather than being beaten to death on stage, it's better to have self-knowledge and be an audience early."
Lie Xiong is still very clear about his own strength, he has already inquired and voted to abstain, originally, he is just here to learn more, go to the ancient family?Forget it, let him go.
Even if Lie Xiong was given such a chance for nothing, Lie Xiong would definitely resign. He was afraid that he would die and come back.
Qin Zhouxu smiled, "That's not necessarily the case, there are some things, how can you not try?" Lie Xiong opened his mouth wide, "Handsome guy, isn't it, are you going to fight for it?"
"It seems that there is no rule saying that I cannot play, right?" Qin Zhouxu asked Lie Xiong, who shook his head helplessly, "That's not true, but dude, don't blame me for not reminding you, if you don't want your life to be threatened in any way, I advise you You should give up this idea, I dare not say anything else, just our Huo family's two little mutts, alas, people are more annoying than others."
Apart from Liexiong, several young people from the Huo family were present, but unlike Liexiong, they were here with the heavy responsibility of winning the place to enter the Temple of Thunder, and their strength also gave them sufficient confidence.
"Thank you." Qin Zhouxu patted Liexiong on the shoulder. Liexiong saw that Qin Zhouxu seemed determined to go, and he sighed. Anyway, he has said what he should say. If Qin Zhouxu is still obsessed with it, then You can't blame him.
Du Hai went to the backstage, discussed with someone for a long time, and then returned to the front desk, "I will announce the rules of this selection competition, and the top three winners will be selected by the Temple of Thunder and become their gatekeepers." Practitioner. Oh, yes, there is also Floating Cloud Hall, this time there is only one person who can go to Floating Cloud Hall, and it is completely decided by the pharmacist of Floating Cloud Hall, and no one has any reason to object."
Du Hai almost forgot about the Fuyuntang incident. In fact, everyone knew that more than 90.00% of the characters selected by the Fuyuntang were probably from the Lin family.
If you choose in the Lin family, then there is a [-]% possibility that it will be someone. This person is the person most admired by the old man of the Lin family, and he is also a figure in the sky among the children of the aristocratic family. Everyone knows it well. This is like a legend. It was decided by default, so Du Hai just added a sentence at the end.
Moreover, the selection method of Fuyuntang is also very simple, it is only decided by the pharmacist, if the Lin family strongly recommends that person, no one else will have any chance.
"Okay, the detailed rules for the selection of the Temple of Thunder have been posted on the side of the high platform. You can just watch it yourself. This selection is no small matter. The heads of the five great families will be the judges. Anyone who has bad ideas can cancel it in advance. Once found to have violated the rules, he will be disqualified from the selection forever, and will be blocked by the five great families at the same time." Du Hai said at the end, his tone became extremely severe.
After Du Hai finished speaking, he temporarily left the high platform. The selection rules were indeed posted on the side of the high platform, but Qin Zhouxu and the others were too far away, so they couldn't see clearly for a while.
Lie Xiong is the most leisurely. He has already occupied a seat to watch the battle. Anyway, he has abstained and can occupy his seat all the time. He doesn't worry that others will take his seat.
"Handsome guy, come on, sit next to me, this seat is very good." Lie Xiong waved to Qin Zhouxu from a distance.
Lie Xiong's physique is quite advantageous, he can occupy the position of two people by himself, so it is easy to occupy a favorable position for Qin Zhouxu.
Qin Zhou smiled, and he also returned a gesture, letting Lie Xiong take the first place, and he moved to the front of the rules. It turned out that the selection competition used a lottery system, and all the first rounds were decided by lottery. People in groups of two, all participate in the lottery.
If the number of people in the end is not an even number, then the bye will be lucky enough to advance directly. If the bye continues, he can be lucky to advance again, but good luck alone cannot get the ticket to enter the Temple of Thunder.
The last three places were selected after hard work.Once there are only eight players left, these eight people need to be divided into two groups and start a round-robin match until they become the first or second in their own group before they are eligible to enter the semi-finals. It is estimated that most people will lose energy by the end.
It seems that this selection is to torture this group of practitioners to death, even if they are not beaten to death, they will be beaten to death, and if they are not beaten to death, they will be exhausted to death.
Qin Zhouxu shook his head. He didn't know who decided the rules. There was a meaning to it. It was so complicated. Why don't you just start the contest, and the winner would go to the next round, and it would be over until the three strongest players were determined.
It doesn't matter if the lottery is drawn or not, it's just a formality anyway, just start the game, save more time?It's a pity that Qin Zhouxu is not the organizer, and he has no right to decide anything, so he has to follow others to draw lots honestly.
Excluding the abstainers like Lie Xiong, there are still 72 players participating. The probability of choosing three of these players is really not very high.
Qin Zhouxu raised his head and took a look. The old man was in his 40s. He secretly opened Vulcan's eyes and glanced at him. The strength at the beginning of the second stage of the Xuan stage was the level he had just finished with Shui Zhirou.
