The Martial Arts Circle Convention was a grand event in the Southern Wulin. Although it was held every five years, it was held alternately in the North and the South. The last Martial Arts Circle Convention held in the Southern Wulin was ten years ago.
Ten years was not a short period of time. A person's life only had a few decades in total. Therefore, every Martial Arts Circle Convention made the heroes and chivalrous people in the Wulin very excited.
However, not everyone could participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention. If everyone was invited, it would not be a Martial Arts Circle Convention for the people of the Wulin. It would be a variety show for a TV station.
In the words of a rookie like Ma Yu, he could kill three to five boxing kings and sanda kings with one slap!
This was the huge gap in strength. Even if ordinary people who practiced sanda learned some skills and could even level up to Level 3 or Level 4, they would still be abused when faced with a real master of martial arts.
Therefore, the Martial Arts Circle Convention had very strict requirements for the participants. Uninvited Wulin people were not qualified to participate. They were not even qualified to be an audience.
Most of the people who practiced martial arts had bad tempers.
There were many who would fight over a disagreement. If ordinary people were allowed to sneak in and accidentally got slapped by a master, or were unlucky enough to be involved, the organizers would also have a considerable responsibility.
This Martial Arts Circle Convention was not an official event. To put it bluntly, it was a large gathering of powerful fighters. It would be fine if nothing happened, but once something did happen, there would be people who would come looking for trouble. It was not impossible for those who were more ruthless to cause a mass brawl.
Of course, those who were qualified to organize this Martial Arts Circle Convention were definitely famous elders in the Wulin. At the same time, they also had considerable power and influence. They were still very influential in this city.
The poor studied while the rich practiced martial arts!
Especially in an era like this, those who practiced martial arts diligently were not short of money. With so many people pouring into a place, there would be a lot of expenses. It could even drive the local economic development.
These were all digressions. In short, when the Martial Arts Circle Convention was held, Wulin masters from all over the country would gather here.
If a young expert wanted to become famous, then this was the best way to do so. The Four Prodigies of the Heavenly South had become famous here that day. However, they had not reached the heights they had today.
Five years had passed, and the Martial Arts Circle Convention had moved from the north to the south. More young masters had emerged. Now, all of them were rubbing their fists and rubbing their palms. They were ready to show off their skills in this Martial Arts Circle Convention and then walk back in glory. From then on, they would be able to make a name for themselves in the martial arts world.
Qin Fang had come with his master, Cai Pingyuan. Cai Pingyuan's prestige was indeed lower than Elder Niu's, Elder Crow's, and the others'. However, he was still a senior with experience. It was not a big problem for him to bring two people along.
Elder Niu was also one of the organizers of this Martial Arts Circle Convention. With his face there, even if Qin Fang and the others had more people, it would not matter. This kind of backdoor could still be opened. After all, those who could come with Elder Niu to participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention were definitely not ordinary people.
Originally, Elder Crow was also a judging consultant requested by the organizers. Although he wasn't a judge, he still had some supervision rights. Unfortunately, Elder Crow's injuries hadn't healed yet, so he couldn't come this time. Elder Niu looked up to him and pulled Comrade Cai over.
Although Comrade Cai's strength was a little lacking, he had enough qualifications. In addition, he was only a consultant and not a judge, so the resistance was obviously much lower. Almost as soon as Elder Niu said this, the other organizers immediately agreed. These things had been planned long ago. If there was suddenly a lack of people, they just needed to fill in the gaps.
"Xiao Qin, Comrade Cai and I will have a lot of things to deal with during the Martial Arts Circle Convention. We may not be able to stay with you all the time. There are many people and masters here. If it is not necessary, do not casually provoke those people …"
Since Lao Cai was not with them, Qin Fang and the others had to take care of themselves. Originally, Wu Hai, who was the oldest among them, should have been the leader. Unfortunately, he was a martial arts maniac. After arriving at the Sword Pavilion, he immediately disappeared without a trace. It was obvious that he had gone to meet some friends through martial arts.
"Elder Niu, Master, don't worry. We will take care of ourselves!"
Qin Fang immediately patted his chest and promised. These old men had to go to work, so he could not add to their troubles.
The rest of the people were Qin Fang, Cai Qing, Luo Xi, Tian Youzhi, Ma Yu, and a few juniors of the Wu's. Qin Fang and Cai Qing were fellow apprentices, so they would definitely take care of each other.
Tian Youzhi led the juniors of the Wu's, who were all his martial nephews. He could not leave because they represented the Wu's. In the Martial Arts Circle Convention, they had to mingle with some sects and aristocratic families that had good relations with them. It was unlikely that they would be with Qin Fang and the others.
"Don't look at me. I will follow Sister Qing!"
In the end, everyone's attention was focused on Luo Xi. Luo Xi very clearly indicated that she would follow Qin Fang.
Tian Youzhi and the others did not feel strange at all. They directly threw a "you know" look to Qin Fang, and then led the group of people of the Wu's to retreat.
On the contrary, it made Qin Fang somewhat depressed. Since that night, Luo Xi seemed to have a little bit of an eye on him. He could not get rid of her even if he wanted to.
"Is it a side effect again?"
Qin Fang could not help but feel a little headache. Since he got the pet egg, there had been such a side effect. He felt that Luo Xi now had such a tendency.
However, her reason was relatively reasonable. The Wu's were all men, and only Luo Xi was a girl. After all, there were not many girls who really liked to play with swords and guns. Luo Xi and Cai Qing were relatively rare. It was safer for the two of them to stay together.
Therefore, Qin Fang had no reason to object. Moreover, the two girls could have a companion. If he had something to do here, it would be more convenient for him to leave.
The Martial Arts Circle Convention was held at the most famous Sword Gate Pass in the Sword Pavilion. However, now it should have been changed into a national forest park and become a tourist attraction.
However, this was not a problem for the organizers of the Martial Arts Circle Convention. Some of them were locals of the Sword Pavilion. Although their power was not necessarily comparable to the prominent Wu's in Jiujiang, they were definitely one of the top local wealthy families.
With a little help from them, the organizers specially approved an entrance and exit for the Martial Arts Circle Convention at a side door that was quite far from the entrance of the scenic area. Only people who had the Martial Arts Circle Convention's access card could enter from there.
The Martial Arts Circle Convention's location was also separated from the Sword Gate Pass scenic area. People could enter the scenic area from here, but other tourists in the scenic area could not enter here.
When Qin Fang and the others arrived, all the furnishings and the required arena had been completed.
Although it was called a Martial Arts Circle Convention, in fact, it was just a place to compete. The North and South Wulin were not on good terms. Although they did not hate each other, they were quite contradictory. Both sides felt that they were the strongest in the Wulin of Long Province, and they did not like each other.
But now, it was a society ruled by law. It was obviously inappropriate to fight and kill like in the past, but it was also impossible to win a war with just words. So, this Martial Arts Assembly was held to select some powerful masters to compete in the North and South Wulin.
This was the main content and the highlight of the entire Martial Arts Circle Convention.
Before that, there were some quite outstanding appetizers. That was, some young masters would compete in martial arts. Some young masters who were not famous would also become famous here.
Of course, there were also some powerful sects who took this opportunity to find some good seedlings. After all, there were still some martial artists who were individual cultivators in the Wulin. They did not belong to a certain sect or family, and their strength might not be particularly strong. But if they were lucky, they could accept a disciple with good qualifications, and then be valued by those big sects and families. This was also a glory for them. With a little training, they could be outstanding.
And now, except for those disciples who were carefully trained, most of the other disciples were like those martial arts schools. They had the concept of respecting the teacher, but it was definitely not as deep as imagined, so it was easy to poach people.
It was not the official opening day of the Martial Arts Circle Convention yet, but there were already quite a lot of people who came. Even on the arena, there were already many people who were competing. There were also quite a few martial artists around.
"Qin Fang, do you want to go up and give it a try?"
Perhaps it was the ambiguity of that night that changed Luo Xi's personality, or perhaps it was the attraction of Qin Fang's bravery when he defeated Su Yang. In short, the current Luo Xi seemed to be worlds apart from the cold-faced violent policewoman that Qin Fang first met. If it was not for the fact that it was still the same pretty face, he really wanted to peel off this layer of skin to see if it was a different person.
"Me?
Forget it … "
When Qin Fang heard this, he looked at the arena not far away. Two young martial artists were fighting back and forth. They were fighting quite hot-blooded and very hard.
It was a pity that the two of them were relatively weak, only having the strength of a mere Level 3. If they were in a certain city, with their skilled fighting skills, they could barely be considered experts. However, in such a Martial Arts Circle Convention where experts gathered, they were really a little insignificant.
Qin Fang was also very self-aware. If he wanted to become famous here, if he did not have the cultivation of Level 5, it was best to be an honest spectator and learn the moves and dismantling skills of those experts. If he rashly went up on the arena to compete, not only would he suffer losses and suffer, he might even lose face.
