Chapter 152: Top Three of the Ninth Rank, on the Flower Bed
"I declare the first Dadongshan Martial Arts Competition officially open!"

Fan Xian stood in the center of the square, looked around and shouted, "Now please invite the first group of contestants to the stage!"

The competition venue is on the square on the top of the mountain. Only one group will take the field at a time. Four grand masters will sit on the edge of the square to ensure the smooth progress of the competition.

As Fan Xian finished speaking, the two contestants soon arrived at the center of the venue.

They were all people Qin Feng knew, one of whom was Haitang Duoduo, the Saintess of Northern Qi.

The other one is Yun Zhilan, the leader of Si Gu Jian.

The battle between these two is quite eye-catching and can be used as a great start.

"Just try your best, both of you. If anything goes wrong, the Grand Master will come to your rescue."

After Fan Xian finished speaking loudly, he left the square.

"Begonia blossoming."

"Clouds of Waves."

After the two sides greeted each other, they didn't waste any words. One drew his axe and the other drew his sword, and they started fighting in an instant.

Si Gu Jian's swordsmanship is quite advantageous in a duel and can put tremendous pressure on people.

Haitang Duoduo's fighting style is aggressive and open, and facing Yun Zhilan's attack, the pressure is maximum.

Not long after, Haitang Duoduo stood up and waved her hands, saying, "No more fighting, no more fighting. I give up!"

Si Gu Jian was sitting next to Ku He at this time. Seeing this scene, he went straight to her face and fired his ultimate weapon.

"Your apprentice is not very good."

Ku He refused to be outdone and said, "Besides Yun Zhilan, who else among your disciples can fight against you?"

Hearing this, Si Gu Jian immediately puffed his beard and glared, saying: "My last disciple Wang Xi is also a genius. I will open your eyes later!"

"Just bragging!" Ku He said disdainfully.

"Just wait!" Si Gu Jian said confidently.

At this time, Fan Xian shouted loudly: "Yun Zhilan wins, please invite the second group of contestants to the stage."

Soon, half an hour passed.

The martial arts competition was progressing steadily, with groups of warriors coming up to fight.

Some fights last longer, some are decided quickly, and some even surrender immediately when the gap in strength is too big, like Wang Qinian.

This guy came to participate in the competition mainly to have fun and have a sense of participation.

Of course, there were two battles that were extremely dangerous, one of which almost resulted in a person's arm being cut off, and one of which cost his life, but they were both saved by the Grand Master.

Now, it is the last battle for the championship.

Yun Zhilan versus Fan Xian!

That’s right, this time Fan Xian won fairly against Lang Tao, who was in third place, and competed with Yun Zhilan for the first place.

His strength has been improving rapidly since he became Qin Feng's apprentice.

Especially in recent days, he has been staying in Dadong Mountain, asking Qin Feng for advice whenever he has nothing to do. His martial arts skills have improved like a rocket.

After the battle just now, he improved even more in the battle and his strength has reached the upper ninth level.

Wang Xi, Si Gu Jian's last disciple who was previously described as a genius, only won fifth place, and fourth place was Haitang Duoduo.

The sixth and seventh are Ye Wan and Ye Chong, father and son.

In fact, there are still a few ninth-grade masters who did not come to this martial arts competition, otherwise the ranking would have changed.

"Fan Xian."

"Clouds of Waves."

After greeting each other, Fan Xian was the first to draw the sword at his waist.

That’s right, facing Yun Zhilan, Fan Xian has to fight with the opponent with sword.

This is not because Fan Xian is arrogant or anything, it is mainly because he has learned a set of swordsmanship from Qin Feng recently.

This is a set of swordsmanship that Qin Feng developed by combining the Falling Leaves Sword Technique, the Nine Deadly Swords, the Yang Family Quick Sword, and other sword techniques.

This sword technique has three types: fast sword, clever sword, and phantom sword. Each type taken alone is a completely new sword technique.

What Qin Feng taught Fan Xian was the skillful sword technique among these three methods.

Then Qin Feng discovered that Fan Xian’s talent in swordsmanship was not weak, and was even very high.

In just ten days, he had mastered the art of swordplay and was now quite proficient in it.

The skillful sword focuses on defense and is accustomed to using the opponent's force to counter attack, which has the effect of using a little force to move a large object.

Yun Zhilan was a fast swordsman and was just restrained by Fan Xian.

When he started the new year, he was still thinking that Fan Xian had dared to draw his sword in front of him, which was a bit presumptuous.

But soon, after a few moves, he was sweating profusely.

"Si Gu Jian, ah Si Gu Jian, your foundation is not that good. You are already inferior to me in swordsmanship."

Just now Ku He was attacked by Si Gu Jian, and now he was laughing at her in return.

"I've never seen the Seventh Brother use swordsmanship before. The disciple he taught is so strong in swordsmanship. Could your Si Gu Jian be a silver spear with a wax head?"

Hearing this, Si Gu Jian looked angry, but he had no way to refute it.

Soon he shouted to Yun Zhilan: "Pick the stars and exchange them for the bucket!"

When Yun Zhilan heard this, he immediately changed his sword's momentum and moved to the side, disrupting Fan Xian's rhythm and forcing him to defend himself.

"Pulling the grass to find the snake and catching the wild horse jumping over the stream!"

Listening to Si Gu Jian repeatedly pointing fingers at Yun Zhilan, Ye Liuyun said angrily, "Shame on you!"

"How can you instruct your apprentice like this? Shut up now, or I will slap you twice!" Ku He also laughed.

Qin Feng: “.”

When they spoke, they used their true Qi to block the surroundings so that their voices could not be heard outside.

But Qin Feng was speechless after hearing that.

Those who know you will think you are great masters, while those who don’t think you are just some old men arguing at the entrance of the village.

However, after being scolded twice, Si Gu Jian did not speak again.

In the field, because Yun Zhilan changed his previous offensive tactics, Fan Xian suddenly fell into a long-term defensive state.

During this period, Fan Xian was actually able to counterattack.

But he didn't do that and kept defending.

Because he knew that Yun Zhilan's swordsmanship consumed a lot of true energy.

Now the opponent is attacking fiercely and they can’t hold out for long.

The Hunyuan Gong that he practiced is an adaptive technique.

When you fight, you can make your Qi domineering, long-lasting, or even sharp. You can change it as you wish.

Now Fan Xian uses the long mode to consume Yun Zhilan's true energy.

It wasn't long before Yun Zhilan discovered this and started to lean towards defense, but Fan Xian would not give the other party a chance to breathe.

He immediately changed his previous defense, and his true energy became extremely domineering, almost knocking Yun Zhilan's sword out of his hand several times.

It’s time for Fan Xian to practice Hun Yuan Gong.

He already had a foundation of domineering true energy, so he was not slow in practicing Hunyuan Gong. Otherwise, if he started practicing from scratch, he would definitely not have such strength now.

'when! ’

Another powerful thrust, Yun Zhilan was knocked back several meters.

He put away his sword and stood up, cupping his hands and saying, "I admit defeat!"

He didn't have much energy left in his body. If he continued to fight and lost, it would be embarrassing. He might as well just admit defeat.

On the other side, Fan Xian also put away his sword upon hearing this, and bowed, saying, "Thank you!"

After saying this, he sat down and began to regulate his breathing.

He actually didn't have much true energy left. In the last few moves, he used his light sword as a heavy sword, which consumed a lot of his true energy.

"Seventh Brother, congratulations, your disciple is really amazing!"

"I feel that the next Grandmaster will be Fan Xian!"

"It seems that he is only sixteen years old. He is the number one in the ninth rank at the age of sixteen. He is indeed a genius!" After the competition, several grand masters stood up and congratulated Qin Feng.

"You poor apprentice still need to improve!"

Qin Feng appeared modest on the surface, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

At the same time, he was a little surprised that Fan Xian had made great progress.

I can only say that this guy is worthy of being the protagonist, he is quite something!
Qin Feng didn't talk much about this topic. He clapped his hands and then shouted.

"The first Dadongshan Martial Arts Competition has concluded successfully. The top three are Fan Xian, Yun Zhilan, and Lang Tao!"

“Everyone’s performance was also very exciting.”

In the second half of the day, there was a lot more to do.

Ye Liuyun gave lectures to the other nine grades, while Ku He, Si Gu Jian and Qin Feng gave private guidance to the top ten.

After that, there are rewards for the top three. They already have their own cultivation methods and will not change them.

As for the moves, there were none at that time, so the reward was just longer hours of instruction.

After giving the instructions, in the evening, Ye Wan paid homage to Qin Feng, and Qin Feng accepted him as his second disciple.

For this purpose, he also passed down a specially customized Hunyuan Gong.

This technique includes internal strength, lightness skills and a palm technique, which coincides with what Ye Wan is currently good at.

He was able to achieve twice the result with half the effort in his practice.

The next day, as the sky gradually brightened.

Those ninth-grade warriors who were not very strong or had low comprehension skills all went down the mountain.

As for the remaining warriors, they are basically people with connections and can attend the following discussion conference.

The day passed quickly.

At 2:15 p.m., the Second Datongshan Taoist Conference came to a successful conclusion and everyone left one after another.

"Come and visit Dongyi City when you have time." Si Gu Jian waved his hand and left first with his men.

"I'll definitely go when I have time!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"What the little emperor means is that you should visit Northern Qi when you have time. After all, the eldest princess has been adopted by you, so you are considered a relative of Northern Qi." Ku He said to Qin Feng.

"Yes, I will definitely go when I have time!" Qin Feng also said with a smile.

What he said is just like watching videos on Zizi Station and saying "definitely next time". Basically, he will never go there.

"How about I also say something about going to Qing Country to have fun?"

As Ye Liuyun spoke, he started laughing.

"No more joking." He looked at Ye Wan and said sternly, "You kid should learn from Master well. Do you hear me?!"

“Did you hear that?!” Ye Zhong also said.

"Got it." Ye Wan nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, let's go!"

Just like that, all three grand masters left.

When we meet again, it will probably be next month.

Watching a group of people walk down the stairs and disappear, Qin Feng did not stay any longer and turned back to the room.

As for Ye Wan, he didn't need to worry about him at all since Fan Xian was with him.

Of course, Wang Qinian, Fan Ruoruo and others were also on the top of the mountain at this time.

These people all wanted to play here for a while, and then go back to Kyoto with Fan Xian when the New Year is approaching.

"Husband, you...you're back."

Qin Feng was in the house reflecting on what he had gained from today's discussion. At Annie's instigation, Zhan Xiaoya walked into the bedroom with a bowl of mung bean soup.

"This is the mung bean soup I made. It has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, as well as stimulating appetite and strengthening the spleen. You should drink it soon." She looked at Qin Feng eagerly, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness in her eyes.

Qin Feng looked at the autumn scenery outside the window and the whistling sea breeze.

Clear away heat and relieve summer heat?

How to cool off in this autumn?

It's cold up here in the mountains. You're wearing a cotton jacket. Why are you still cooling off here?
Although he complained in his heart, Qin Feng still took the mung bean soup and drank it in one gulp.

Then he forced a smile and said, "It's cooked very well. Don't cook it next time."

Too sweet.

It feels like a big bag of sugar was put into this mung bean soup, and it tastes like sugar water.

“Why don’t you cook it next time even though it’s cooked so well? Shouldn’t you cook it longer?” Zhan Xiaoya asked innocently.

No, what did Zhan Doudou teach her?

You were so dull before, and you don’t feel much better now?

It seems that I have to be direct when I speak in the future and not beat around the bush, otherwise Zhan Xiaoya won’t understand.

"Annie can do these things in the future. If you want to do them, learn from her. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I remember."

"Go down and come back in the evening." Qin Feng waved his hand.

"Okay, my husband!" Zhan Xiaoya quickly retreated.

She had learned a lot of new knowledge when she was in Qi State.

For example, speaking, serving people, knowledge of sexual intercourse, etc.

But she only learned these things half-heartedly, and when she really put them into practice, all kinds of problems arose.

But this is just the beginning, and things will definitely get better as time goes by.

That night.

Qin Feng was practicing visualization on the bed, his heartbeat quickened, and Zhan Xiaoya, nervous all over, pushed open the door.

She closed the door and said, "My dear, I'm here to share the room with you."

Thinking of the knowledge that the maid in the palace taught her, Zhan Xiaoya felt her face flushed and she froze in place.

"What did you say?" Qin Feng opened his eyes and asked with a smile.

Zhan Xiaoya's voice just now was too soft, as thin as a mosquito. Although Qin Feng heard it, he probably didn't hear it.

"I said, I want to share the room." Zhan Xiaoya clenched the corner of her clothes tightly with both hands, her head buzzing.

She had already mustered up her courage just now when she came in, but now that she was asked twice, she felt a little discouraged.

"Why don't you come over here, roommate, and just stand there?"

"I am the eldest princess of Northern Qi. I should behave myself and be polite. I cannot move around."

"How can I sleep with you if you just stand there?" Qin Feng was amused.

"Didn't the little emperor teach you to listen to your husband?"

"I have taught me." Zhan Xiaoya recalled that when she set out, Zhan Doudou repeatedly told her to listen to Qin Feng.

Through Haitang Duoduo, Zhan Doudou also got to know Qin Feng a little and knew that he didn't like noise.

So even if Zhan Xiaoya was sent over this time, it was just one person, not even a personal maid.

"Then I'll call you over."

After a pause, Zhan Xiaoya nodded vigorously and said, "Okay."

In her mind just now, she was actually thinking whether it was more important to be a princess and have etiquette, or to listen to her husband.

Judging from the current situation, it is obviously more important to listen to my husband.

Just like that, Qin Feng took Zhan Xiaoya's hand and sat on the edge of the bed with her.

The two talked for a while and eased their tension.

As Zhan Xiaoya gradually relaxed physically and mentally, her body also softened.

When the time was right, Qin Feng waved his hand, extinguished the candles in the room, and carried Zhan Xiaoya into the greenhouse.
