C1983 The Rules of the Competition
Everyone knew that martial arts were not something that could be mastered overnight. They had to go through a long period of continuous training and experimentation in order to reach a certain level. This was also why many young people were unwilling to learn profound martial arts. Instead, they liked to learn shallow martial arts such as karate Taekwondo which could be quick and effective.
And now, the family wanted them to start from scratch, which meant that the person with the highest comprehension would be... Whoever had better adaptability might be the first. And you don't even need to look at how well you've trained your kung fu before. This is completely starting from the same starting line!
Of course, from a practical point of view, this kind of assessment method isn't absolutely fair. After all, the more profound martial artists have different understanding of martial arts and familiarity with martial arts, so they usually start from the same starting point. Some of the contestants still had a certain advantage. It did not mean that the person with the worst martial arts had the most advantage. However, for Qin Wenjing, Chung Kuiyu, and other contestants with relatively weaker skills, such an assessment model would definitely help a lot.
Although the contestants were not satisfied with this kind of assessment, the words of the family head made them unable to find any reason to refute. If the Tianyu family wanted to select an outstanding warrior, then they would have to participate in the competition for the position of the future patriarch. How could they not be cautious and take it seriously? And this third round of the examination could perfectly reflect a person's comprehension of martial arts and the potential to cultivate martial arts. This was also an affirmation of a future Patriarch's ability, at least in learning the inner arts and mental cultivation methods. He would definitely be able to understand and comprehend it faster than ordinary people, and he would have a higher chance of cultivating his inner energy. He would become an inner force expert that martial artists yearned for.
"I know that everyone may be facing various difficulties in this kind of test. But I also believe that everyone will be able to overcome all kinds of difficulties and work hard to cultivate new martial arts. Strive to bring out your best abilities in the ring. "
Seeing the serious expressions on the contestants' faces, Yu Tianlai smiled and said, "This can also be considered as a form of treatment for everyone. After all, new martial arts are not something that anyone is willing to give. In a sense, our Tianyu family is giving everyone new martial arts to cultivate. All of you will have an extra chance to cultivate another martial art. If you are able to cultivate it well... It might not be any worse than the martial art you are using now. "
"After all, the Tianyu family has many years of history, and there are countless martial arts manuals in the depository of scriptures. Giving out a few outstanding martial arts manuals isn't difficult at all. As for everyone, after learning these new martial arts, even if they don't get a ranking, they won't regret it and return. At the very least, you can make the new martial arts you cultivate flourish and even master it to the point of perfection."
"As the saying goes, when a master brings you in, your cultivation depends on the individual. The Tianyu family will provide you with new martial arts to cultivate. The final achievement will depend on how much you value it. As the first two assessments had ended, even if the last five participants won the first place in the third assessment, they wouldn't be able to reverse the situation. Therefore, they were eliminated, and the third round was... The third assessment, on the other hand, was aimed at the top five contestants, because each of you still had a chance to fight for the top three spots. Therefore, you must work hard."
When Patriarch Yu said this, Yu Yide, who was standing next to him, said. "Competitors, since the Patriarch has already informed you about the content of the third test... After you return to the Tianyu family from the forest, you will be arranged to stay in the small courtyard of the secret chamber. Each of you will choose a secret chamber to enter secluded cultivation, and in your secret chamber... Other than the necessary daily necessities, there is also a martial arts secret manual that has been selected. Whether or not you can win in the examination will depend on your own abilities."
"Of course, I also want to remind everyone that this is the third exam. It is also the last round. If no one is able to shake the top three positions after the end of the test... When the time comes, those who don't get a spot will not regret it. If you don't work hard in this exam, then you really won't have a chance. "
"Okay. Next, I will announce that according to the overall score, the top five contestants are Qin Wenjing, Fann Binn, Yanh Liang, Zhao Youting and Yu Yuehuan. These five contestants will participate in the third exam. You will now head to the secret chamber under the lead of the guards to prepare for closed door cultivation. As for the remaining five contestants who have been eliminated... You will be free to do as you wish. It was fine to leave the Tianyu family, but it was fine to stay and observe. You will be arranged separately. "
Apart from the five candidates who had been called out as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders, the other five contestants weren't in a good mood. Although they knew that they would be eliminated if they did not win the second round of the exam, they really thought that they had lost the qualification to continue the competition after hearing that they had been eliminated. Naturally, they were still very uncomfortable. It wasn't just a matter of reputation, it was also a form of denial towards his own ability. The taste of failure was indeed very unpleasant. It was likely that no one would be able to live a good life.
However, the competition was cruel. If one didn't advance against the current, one would fall behind. Not to mention, it was a rare opportunity to learn the inner arts and mental cultivation methods and become the future candidate for the family head of Tianyu family. Naturally, no one was willing to give up so easily. However, the reality was the reality. The loser had to bear the price of failure.
At this moment, Xu Qing stared at Yanh Liang hatefully. Obviously, he hated this hero who had turned the tables on Fann Binn. If it wasn't for Yanh Liang's betrayal, perhaps Xu Qing wouldn't have fallen to the point of elimination.
Very quickly, the five eliminated contestants were first brought out of the forest by the guards. After that, under the lead of the family head and elders, the five contestants who had the qualification to continue the assessment followed the remaining guards. After passing through the west side of the forest, they held their heads high and headed towards the territory of Zhuge family. They were going to enter a secret chamber to enter secluded cultivation...
Facing the compound courtyard in front of them, Fann Binn and the other four contestants knew that their destination had arrived. As they walked from the forest all the way here, there were guards around them who were vigilant and observing. It was to prevent them from coming into contact with anyone in the outside world. Only in this way could the fairness of the competition be guaranteed. When they arrived here, the team members began to retreat one after another. Only the five contestants and Yu Yide were left.
"This is where you will be staying for a week. Although the courtyard is a little small, every secret chamber inside is the place where the people of Tianyu family used to cultivate in seclusion. Therefore, this is a very rare experience for all of you. In each of the five secret chambers in this courtyard, a secret manual was placed in each of them. There is a martial art recorded on it that will be provided for everyone to learn."
"As for whether the martial art is good or bad, whether or not it is suitable for you, I am not very clear. In any case, it is up to you to decide. But please rest assured, the choice of martial arts is up to us elders to choose together. The difference is definitely not very big, it just depends on whether each of us can adapt to it or not. We will be able to comprehend the key points in time. "
"Alright, then I won't disturb everyone's time anymore. After choosing to enter the secret chamber, you will not be allowed to take a step out of the secret chamber. All the food and drinks will be carried out in the seclusion grounds. Of course, we will send people to deliver meals and daily necessities at a fixed time. Please rest assured, we will try our best to satisfy everyone regarding logistics." After saying that, Yu Yide pointed to the five secret rooms in the courtyard in front of him and said. " Alright."
After hearing Yu Yide's words, Fann Binn and the other five competitors all revealed cautious and hesitant expressions. Indeed, whether or not they could obtain a book suitable for themselves... A secret manual that was easy for them to comprehend was definitely the most important thing in the final test, so the choice of this secret room was undoubtedly very important. No one was confident that they could guess a secret chamber suitable for them, so no one was willing to be the first person to choose.
The other contestants had deep concerns, but Fann Binn did not think so. Since they were going to face the final test, they had to learn a new martial art. It was only a matter of time before they made a choice. It was better to just do it directly. Seeing the hesitation and worry of the other contestants, no one was willing to make a choice first, so he walked out of the team that the players were standing on. He took the initiative to walk to the front of the five secret rooms.
Yu Yide took advantage of the moment when he brushed past him and blinked his eyes. He obviously gave a look. He didn't know what it meant. However, it was obvious that he wanted to remind Fann Binn of something. However, since there were so many people in front of him, he couldn't say anything. He could only use his eyes to transmit some information. Obviously, Yu Yide's message transmission this time was in vain. Because Fann Binn and him had no tacit understanding at all.
Facing the five secret rooms that looked exactly the same from left to right, Fann Binn really didn't know which one he should choose. These secret chambers looked clearly the same from the outside. The only difference was that inside the secret chamber, there was a martial arts secret manual. After thinking for a while, he said to Yu Yide. " Elder Yu, I like to sleep in the middle. Since I'm the first one to choose, then... "
Fann Binn had just finished speaking when he noticed Yu Yide's obvious frown. His eyes swept to the left. This time, he understood. Obviously, Yu Yide did not want Fann Binn to choose the secret room in the middle. Instead, he chose the left secret chamber.
"What's wrong, Fann Binn? If you like the middle, then choose the middle!" Standing among the contestants, Yu Yuehuan clearly observed the details very carefully. He must have seen and understood the signal that Yu Yide and Fann Binn were sending with their eyes. He deliberately spoke to Yu Yide immediately. " Elder Yu, I have decided. I will choose the secret chamber on the left."
Yu Yide was stunned. He looked at Yu Yuehuan, and a trace of fury flashed across his eyes. However, he quickly hid himself and spoke coldly. "Yu Yuehuan, let Fann Binn choose the secret chamber first and let him choose it first. You can choose after that. This is the rule of first come first serve!"
Yu Yuehuan did not listen to Yu Yide's words. He listened to Yu Yide's words. He was even more sure that there was something fishy going on here. He said firmly. " I don't think the Tianyu family has any rules. There was no rule of first come first serve in the secret chamber. Besides, Fann Binn had chosen the middle secret chamber. There is no difference between the left and the one I chose. What difference does it make if I choose first or he chooses first? Elder Yu, don't be biased towards Fann Binn. Otherwise, the remaining four contestants won't do it."
