Zhu Yaoyao didn't know what was bothering Song Qingshu. She continued, "Nie Tianfeng, the master of the Flying Tiger Valley, recommended the Fourth Lady of the Red Coat Army, Yang Miaozhen. The Red Coat Army is active in the Jin Kingdom, and its reputation is no less than that of the Golden Snake Camp. The Fourth Lady is said to be invincible with her Pear Blossom Spear. Although it's not true, she has led the Red Coat Army to fight against the Jin Kingdom's cavalry for many years.
"I've fought with her. Her Pear Blossom Spear is really powerful," Song Qingshu said with lingering fear as he recalled the sky full of pear blossoms.
"Isn't she pretty?" Zhu Yuehua's lips curled into a charming smile.
"She's pretty. She has a heroic spirit that ordinary women don't have … Huh?" Song Qingshu suddenly found that the two women were looking at him with a faint smile. He was embarrassed and hurriedly explained, "I have nothing to do with her."
"We didn't say anything. Why are you so nervous?" Xia Qingqing said with a smile. "Besides, it's good to have a relationship with her. If you really fight with her, she won't be able to compete with you for the Golden Snake King."
A strange light flashed in Situ Bolei's eyes. Listening to their conversation, it seemed that this Madam Yuan and Song QingShu also had an unusual relationship. However, this kind of thing didn't matter to the Ninth Princess, so how could he say anything?
"What are you guys thinking? Although her marksmanship is brilliant, I'm not someone to be trifled with. How can I rely on favors?" Song QingShu looked gloomy. He had actually been treated as someone who relied on a woman.
"Okay, okay, I know you're good." Zhu Yaoyao smiled. Obviously, she didn't care too much. "Gai Mengchang and Meng Bofei nominated a man named Shi Potian. This man is very mysterious. We can't find out anything about his origin or martial arts."
"Shi Potian?" Song Qingshu was numb. Ah Qing had appeared, so Shi Potian was not a big deal. In the entire Golden Book system, the top ten martial artists … and even the top three martial artists were disputed. However, the top two martial artists were almost universally acknowledged.
The martial arts system in "Walk of the Gallant" was too different. It was completely different from the martial arts in other basic books. In the book, a Sect Leader who played a small role could use his internal energy to melt a bronze plate into liquid copper. Then, he was beaten up by Zhang San and Li Si sent out by the Isle of Heroes. There were dozens of people like Zhang San and Li Si on the Isle of Heroes, and the Second Island Master of Dragon Wood was an existence that far surpassed Zhang San and Li Si.
These two island masters were almost killed by Shi Potian, who had mastered the [Great Mystery Scripture]. Song Qingshu couldn't imagine how powerful Shi Potian's martial arts were.
Not to mention Shi Potian, even that soy sauce sect leader's ability to melt the copper plate into juice was something that even Song Qingshu couldn't do. Perhaps even Zhang Wuji, who had reached the peak of Nine Suns, couldn't do it.
"Where did this Meng Bofei come from? How could he find Shi Potian?" Song Qingshu's expression couldn't help but turn ugly.
"Even though Meng Bofei has a reputation in Jianghu, it's mainly because he's kind and generous. His so-called secret arts, Meng Family's Divine Fist and Thirty Palms of Happiness, may sound earth-shattering, but they're actually just some third-rate martial arts. I feel that the person he found shouldn't be very skilled." Seeing the change in his expression, Zhu Yan asked curiously, "Song Lang, you know this person?"
"I know a little. His peak martial arts shouldn't be below Ah Qing's." Song Qingshu sighed.
Xia Qingqing's expression changed. "Oh no, I thought his martial arts weren't that high, so I arranged for him to fight you?"
"You arranged for me to fight him?" Song Qingshu's breath stopped. "Which round?"
"If you both win, you will meet in the second last round," Xia Qingqing said with a sad face. "If I had known this would happen, I would have arranged for him to fight Ah Qing. No matter who wins, even if they don't die, they will still lose a layer of skin. Maybe they won't have the strength to participate in the last round."
"You don't have to worry too much about it. As the saying goes, soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. If you want to win the Golden Snake King, you have to beat all of your opponents." Song Qingshu quickly recovered and quickly comforted her.
Zhu Yan also comforted her, "Yes, you have to have a little confidence in Song Qingshu. His martial arts are already very high."
Xia Qingqing pouted, her face gloomy. "This time, the arrangement of the troops was actually very particular. Everyone wanted the person they nominated to be a pushover, so after a few rounds of games, no one picked a famous opponent. The result of this competition will probably make the eyeballs of many of the leaders pop out of their sockets."
"What's the situation like?" Song Qingshu asked in a deep voice.
"This competition is divided into two halves, and each half has eight candidates. The final winner will participate in the final competition with the winner of the other half. We know how powerful Ah Qing is, so we deliberately put her in a different half from you. Some people know that she is a young girl, so they all fight to choose her as their opponent. I wonder if they will be scared to death by Ah Qing during the competition. "
At this point, Xia Qingqing's eyes could not help but curve. She had a gloating expression on her face.
"Who's so unlucky to meet Ah Qing in the first round?" Song Qingshu had already sentenced him to death in his heart.
"Everyone fought to choose Ah Qing as their opponent. In the end, they couldn't argue, so they gave her to those Jianghu stragglers without any backing. Anyway, everyone thought that if they couldn't get her, they wouldn't be able to take advantage of her either. I didn't expect that they would be able to avoid a disaster." Xia Qingqing looked regretful. She was obviously very dissatisfied with this result.
Looking at Xia Qingqing's young girl's slyness, Song Qingshu could not help but smile. Only then did he remember that she was also a real little demon girl when she was in Jianghu.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Noticing Song Qingshu's gaze, Xia Qingqing lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Nothing." Song Qingshu smiled gently. "Who is that unlucky straggler?"
"It's the guy who calls himself the God of Swords," Zhu Yanxi answered.
"Zhuo Bufan? The God of Swords meets the Immortal of Swords. This is interesting. " Song Qingshu imagined the scene of the competition between the two of them and expressed his infinite condolences to Zhuo Bufan. "Then who is my opponent in the first round?"
Hearing his question, the two women looked at each other and smiled. "You will definitely like this opponent."
Song Qingshu was stunned, but he quickly reacted. "It can't be He Tieshou, right?"
Xia Qingqing stuck out her tongue. "Sect Leader He is an old acquaintance of ours. Although her martial arts are high, there is still a gap between her and you. Unless you have tender feelings for the fairer sex, it is impossible for you to lose."
Song Qingshu touched his nose and smiled maliciously. "If I remember correctly, this He Tieshou seemed to have fallen in love with someone who was disguised as a man, right?"
Xia Qingqing's fair face suddenly turned red, and she was so ashamed that she could not speak. Zhu Yanxi glanced at her, covered her mouth, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to know such a secret … Song Qingshu, this time, for you, Qingqing has even betrayed her old lover."
"Bah!" Xia Qingqing could not help but spit. She stretched out her hand and twisted it around Zhu Yanxi's waist. "It's all your idea."
Song Qingshu smiled as he looked at the two women who were laughing and fighting together. It seemed that the estrangement between the two women in the past had disappeared. If he had known this earlier, he would have gotten them into bed earlier.
Under the careful explanation of the two women, Song Qingshu finally figured out the matchups of the candidates. It was almost the same as the football matches in his previous life. Soon, a matchup similar to the matches in his previous life appeared in his mind.
The first round.

Song Qingshu went through the list of names in his mind. It seemed that Xia Qingqing and Zhu Yaoying had put in a lot of effort for him. His grouping was pretty good.
He Tieshou and Chen Jinnan were both old acquaintances. Xiao Banhe and Yang Miaozhen had fought against them before, so they knew each other very well. As for the others, no matter it was You Tanzhi, He Shiwo, or Shi Potian, they were all nameless figures in the Jianghu. It was just that they didn't expect that apart from He Shiwo, all three of them were top-notch experts.
Even so, compared to those in the lower half, he was undoubtedly much luckier. Every one of them was a top-notch expert in the Jianghu. There was no need to mention Ah Qing, but Xu Zhu, the simple-minded monk, would probably surprise everyone. It was ridiculous that Murong Fu had tried so hard to avoid him, thinking that he had chosen a pushover. He didn't expect that he would be defeated in the end. However, since he had obtained the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, he still had a chance.
Last time when Xiao Long Nu went to look for him, didn't they meet? Judging from the current situation, Yang Guo probably hadn't created the Sad Palm yet. Even so, in the original novel, he was able to sweep the entire Jianghu with just a heavy sword. However, Gongsun Zhi was not careless either. With a golden saber in one hand and a black sword in the other, he was almost like Zhou Botong's Left and Right Mutual Combat. In the original novel, even Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu's Dual Sword Combination had been defeated by him. It seemed that there would be a fierce battle between them.
Linghu Chong and Duan Yanqing's team was more interesting. Linghu Chong's attainment in the Nine Strategies Beyond the Swords was far inferior to Feng Qingyang's, but it was more than enough to deal with most of the Jianghu people. In addition, his [Absorbing Stars] could frighten people in the Jianghu, and Duan Yanqing would definitely have a hard time.
However, Duan Yanqing was a famous expert of the evil sect for decades. He had dominated the world for so many years, and the few times he had lost were to Xiao Feng and himself, so it wasn't too shameful. In the original novel, he had fought against Ding Chunqiu and Jiu Mozhi several times. Even though he didn't have a life-or-death battle with them, they were evenly matched. In the later part of the novel, he could easily defeat Murong Fu and his four henchmen.
His attainment in the One Yang Finger could be said to be the best among the laymen of the Duan family in Dali. Even among the monks of the Sky Dragon Temple, only Reverend Yideng could defeat him.
Between Linghu Chong and Duan Yanqing, it was a fifty-fifty chance of winning.
