Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 7871



7871 Chapter 7869-

Thus, the group quietly made their way to the training ground, where they saw a neat formation of Imperial Army soldiers, roughly a thousand in total.

Apart from them, the martial arts competition participants who had separated earlier seemed to have completed their respective events, and their expressions were different.

Many of them looked very disheveled, so they should have fought.

The old eunuch beside the Prince was sitting in an armchair, waiting for Lin Yi and the others to come over.

“Congratulations to all young masters for completing the literary competition. Next is the martial arts competition!”

The old eunuch stood up slowly and walked to the edge of the ring. He looked down at the people below the ring and said,””For the first round of the competition, young masters, please choose the martial skill you have prepared to cultivate. The time limit is six hours!”

“Within the time limit, everyone can choose many different martial skills, but you must cultivate one martial skill to the small success realm before you can choose another martial skill!”

The Dragon state’s conferred kingdoms ranked the proficiency of a martial technique according to the power it could exert.

Those that could be activated, but only had ten percent of the power of a normal martial technique, were considered to be at the elementary level.

Reaching 40% was considered minor accomplishment, 90% was major accomplishment, and 100% was perfection.

“According to the difficulty of the martial technique cultivation, there will be different point rewards. As you can see, there are marks on the side of each martial technique, ranging from ten points to a hundred points. Please act according to your ability. If you can’t successfully cultivate it within the time limit, the same amount of points will be deducted!”

These points were only for those who participated in the cultural competition. Those who participated in the martial arts competition alone would have their points doubled!

Lin Yi realized that some of the weaker contestants had lost almost all of their fifty base points!

These unlucky children must have been aiming too high and overestimated themselves. They chose a more difficult martial technique and failed to complete it within the time limit, so it was a tragedy!

“You can get points if you reach the initial stage of the martial technique within the time limit. If you reach the advanced stage, you can get double the points. If you can reach the perfection stage, you will get four times the points!”

The old eunuch didn’t care what his subordinates were thinking. He continued to explain the rules unhurriedly,””In the end, if both parties have the same amount of points, the one with the higher proficiency in the martial arts technique will receive the privilege of being ranked first.”

The so-called last naturally referred to the end of the young master’s gathering. If the total score was the same, then the person with a higher martial skill cultivation would have an advantage, which was equivalent to having half an extra point.

This was to encourage everyone to practice their martial arts.

However, everyone knew that for any martial technique, it might be easy to get started, and it might not take too much time to reach the initial success stage. However, it was not easy to reach the great success stage.

Without months or even years of hard work, it would be difficult for even the simplest martial technique to reach the great circle.

“If you can cultivate a martial art technique to the small success stage in two hours, can you cultivate it to the large success stage in the remaining four hours? If you have the time, why don’t you practice two more martial arts techniques, and you’ll get more points!”

Some people muttered in a low voice. They obviously didn’t think that it was a good idea to cultivate martial skills in a deeper way. In fact, most people thought so.

The distance from small success to great success was more than ten times greater than the distance from entry to small success!

It was not worth it to waste time and energy for the sake of double points!

Lin Yi, on the other hand, pinched his chin, deep in thought. Four times the points just because he completed it?

Then, if he chose a martial technique that cost 100 points to cultivate to perfection, it would cost him 400 points!

Although the gap between him and Liu Ziyu’s points was already very big, it was good to continue to widen the gap since they didn’t know what other events would come.

But Lin Yi wasn’t planning on showing off himself this time-he wanted Liu Ziyu to take the lead.

“Now, you can start choosing your martial skills. In six hours, we will test the results of all the young masters!”

The old eunuch waved his hand, turned around, and left the arena. He obviously didn’t plan to wait for six hours.

Below the ring, there was a long table with books of martial arts techniques on it. Next to each martial arts technique was a score.

Ximen liuyan was the closest to him. She reached out to take a book and read it, but was stopped by the Imperial Army.

“Young master, once you pick up a martial skill here, you’ve already made your choice. You can’t change to another martial skill before you’ve cultivated it to a small success. Please think carefully before you decide.”

The Imperial Guard was expressionless. It seemed like he did not remind Ximen liuyan on purpose, but merely because of his duty.”Young masters, please take note that you are forbidden to flip through the book before you have chosen your martial technique!”

A few people, like Ximen liuyan, who had reached out to take the book, quickly retracted their hands. This matter could not be done casually. They had to consider everything before taking action.

Among those generals, there were obviously a few who had suffered losses before. They were teachers who did not forget their past. This was a bloody lesson!

Ximen liuyan calmly stopped and acknowledged the Imperial Guard.

The martial skill that he wanted to take was only worth ten points, and it was the lowest grade!

There was no way Ximen liuyan would choose this one, because even if she did, she wouldn’t be able to close the gap between her and Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu.

After glancing at the martial arts techniques in the other seats, Ximen liuyan began to hesitate. Should she choose the highest level martial arts technique that cost 100 points?

If he failed to master it … And 100 points were deducted, he would really be finished!

The others were also hesitating. If they wanted to close the gap, they had to choose the most difficult martial arts technique or cultivate quickly, and they could repeatedly cultivate several martial arts techniques to the minor completion level within six hours.

There was not much time. These people had already made a decision after some consideration. If they continued to hesitate, they would have even less time to cultivate.

In just a minute or so, several people had made their choices.

They all chose martial techniques that were worth 30 points and above and below 60 points. Clearly, in their opinion, this section was the most suitable!

Feng Zhipeng was one of the first to make a move. He picked up a martial technique that was worth 60 points and flipped through it. His eyes were filled with surprise.

“Feng Zhipeng, what did you find?”

Sima Zhongxiao and Feng Zhipeng were partners, and they happened to notice the slight change in his expression. He immediately lowered his voice and asked,””Isn’t it simple?”

“No! It’s not simple!”

Feng Zhipeng shook his head slightly. He calmed down and took a deep breath.”But to me, this martial technique is extremely simple!”

Sima Zhongxiao was slightly stunned. What did he mean?

It sounded a little contradictory!

Feng Zhipeng looked left and right, covered his mouth with one hand, and continued in a voice as soft as a mosquito ‘s,””I’ve learned this martial art technique in the sword spring sect before, and it’s in a copy in the corner of the library Pavilion. I didn’t expect that a conferred Kingdom of the Dragon state would also have it. When I saw the same name just now, I was worried that it was just the same name.”
