According to the rules, the Dragon Tiger Hegemony Competition would be held three months after the end of the County Court Arena Tournament. Then, the Champion Battle would be held half a year after that.
The time limit was set. It was neither too long nor too short. Firstly, it was to give the contestants enough time to prepare, adjust their states, and prepare for battle. Secondly, it was very difficult for the contestants to advance in such a short period of time, thus ensuring the fairness of the competition.
It was less than half a month before the start of the Dragon Tiger Tournament. Countless martial artists, as well as their friends and family, had gathered in the various prefectures and prefectures. All of them were full of fighting spirit and confidence, hoping to stand out in this battle and successfully advance.
Due to the spies from the Great Ao Nation being more active recently, and the frequent occurrence of terrorist incidents, Luo Haoyu left all three of his sons in Nandan County to take charge of the government affairs and guard the four directions when the marquises of each county had to participate in the Dragon Tiger Tournament.
He himself led a group of about two hundred people to the Long Prefecture in advance.
Aside from the Bazhou, the Long State was the place that most of the citizens of the Wind Origin Nation wanted to visit the most. Not only was the Long State a simple and honest place, but it also had a trade route that connected all of the nations, so its geographical location was extremely important.
The Long Prefecture's economic standard had always been the highest among the eight prefectures. It could be said that the Fengyuan Nation's economy was mostly supported by the Long Prefecture. It was also because of this that many merchants in the Long Prefecture became rich.
It was said that the Long Prefecture was named after the surname of the first governor, Long Yun. Long Yun was a fierce general by the side of the founding emperor of the Fengyuan Nation. He followed the founding emperor on the battlefield and made great contributions to the Fengyuan Nation.
After the founding of the nation, Long Yun no longer had the heart to be an official. He planned to live in the countryside and seek for the welfare of the people. Thus, he requested the king to transfer him out of the capital.
Although the king was reluctant, he granted his wish in the end and appointed him as the governor of a prefecture and named it the Long Prefecture. From this, it could be seen that the king valued him greatly.
It was said that Long Yun finally broke through to the Xiantian Martial King realm and mysteriously disappeared. However, too much time had passed and the authenticity of the rumor could not be verified.
But no matter what the result was, Long Yun's deeds were spread throughout the Long Province generation after generation. Even now, after countless years, countless young heroes still worshipped him and treated him as an idol, a goal, and worked hard to catch up to him.
Luo Ping and the others had also worshipped Long Yun since they were young, hoping that one day they could become a great hero like him.
At this moment, the Long State was bustling with activity. There was an endless stream of people and carriages. There were constantly small groups of soldiers patrolling back and forth, maintaining order and ensuring safety.
"Lord Marquis, it seems like this year's Dragon Tiger Tournament is much more intense than the previous ones. I just don't know if the young masters will be able to seize the opportunity and successfully advance. "
A tall and mighty general on horseback lamented as he watched the troops enter the provincial capital.
In front of the general was Luo Haoyu. After traveling for four days, the group of over two hundred people had just arrived at the Long State City.
Hearing this, Luo Haoyu said, "Wu Feng, you're right. This is the first time the new rules have been implemented. The four levels will be separated and the number of participants is four times more than the previous years. The chances of winning for each level will be greatly increased. All the participants will do their best to fight for a place to advance. The cruelty is self-evident."
With a gentle wave of his hand, he indicated for everyone to continue into the city. Only then did he continue, "As for whether Ping 'er and the others will be able to advance or not, I am not in a position to make any assumptions. However, I believe that they will not disappoint me. No matter what the result is, I will fully support them."
Hearing this, Wu Feng hurriedly said, "I also believe that the young masters will not give up easily. They will all advance successfully. My brothers and I will also fully support them. Don't you think so? "
Wu Feng turned his body sideways and asked behind him.
Among the over two hundred people who came with them, Wu Feng was the only one among the twelve generals of Nandan County. He was already the highest commander.
Moreover, he had the strength of an early stage Great General, enough to suppress everyone. In addition, there were eight captains of the Martial General rank and over twenty captains.
When the generals heard Wu Feng's question, they all hurriedly agreed.
"General, you are right. The young masters are all talented and intelligent. I firmly believe that they will be able to advance."
"I feel that the 'Dragon and Tiger Tournament' is a piece of cake for the young masters. Winning and advancing will be as common as eating rice."
"Yes, yes, yes. We will fully support them and be the strong backing of the young masters."
… … …
Luo Haoyu listened to the words of agreement behind him and smiled helplessly. "When did you learn to flatter? Every one of you has a glib tongue. You don't look like a soldier at all. Remember, be realistic in everything. Don't exaggerate or make a fuss. "
Hearing this, everyone felt guilty and didn't dare to say anything else. They all expressed that they would change their attitude.
In a short while, Luo Haoyu and the others had already arrived at the gate of the prefecture. The soldiers guarding the gate had already gone in to report. When they arrived, the Governor of the Longzhou Prefecture had just come out of the prefecture.
Luo Haoyu dismounted and came before the Governor. He cupped his hands in greeting.
"The Marquis of Nandan Prefecture, Luo Haoyu greets the Governor."
The Governor of the Longzhou Prefecture was He Kun. He was over a hundred years old and was already a late-stage Martial King expert. He had been the Governor of the Longzhou Prefecture for decades. His strength was extraordinary and his intelligence couldn't be underestimated.
"Hahaha, so it's Haoyu. No need to be so cliché. We have known each other for a long time. Why are you treating me like an outsider?"
He Kun said as he looked behind Luo Haoyu. He only saw that all the soldiers had dismounted.
"Why don't I see Ming Shuang and the others? I like them very much. Why didn't they come this time?"
"Haha, thank you for thinking so highly of my sons. Because the spies from the Great Ao Nation have been causing trouble recently, I let them all stay behind." Luo Haoyu replied with a smile.
Hearing this, He Kun revealed an expression of understanding. "Since that's the case, let's not chat outside the prefecture. Come, let's go in."
"Oh right, Heihe Prefecture and Chiyan Prefecture are close. Only Lumen Prefecture is not here yet."
Luo Haoyu followed He Kun into the prefecture. The other accompanying soldiers were arranged to other places by the prefecture's servants. When they entered the main hall of the prefecture, they saw that there were already two people sitting there talking.
"Haha, Brother Luo is here too. We brothers haven't seen each other in a long time. We need to have a good chat."
One of them was tall and thin. His eyes shone brightly as he spoke with a smile.
The other person had a cold expression. He was expressionless and only nodded politely. However, everyone knew his personality and didn't mind.
"I didn't expect Brother Wei and Brother Zhu to come so early. I thought I was the first to arrive. I didn't expect to be the last. Haha."
Luo Haoyu said as he sat down with He Kun.
The tall and thin old man said, "Since we have nothing important to do, we came to pay our respects to the Governor and talk about the competition."
When the competition was mentioned, the four people present became interested and began to talk. Not long after, the Marquis of Lumen Prefecture also arrived and the five people began to talk again.
…
In the underground castle of the Goshawk Legion, it was the last day of training. After nearly two months of training, Luo Ping and the others had made rapid progress. They couldn't believe that they could improve so much in such a short time. It was like a dream.
In a room, Luo Ping was punching a wooden pillar in front of him. The pillar was rotating, so he needed to hit the same spot every time. As the pillar spun faster and faster, his punching speed also increased.
This method mainly trained the speed of punching, strength, and endurance.
After the previous six rounds of training, Luo Ping was now familiar with this method and could do it with ease.
At the fastest time, the shadows of his punches were connected into a line. It was impossible to tell if it was real or fake. When he thought of his progress, Luo Ping was overjoyed. Every punch was full of strength.
Not long after Luo Ping advanced to the early stage of Supreme Martial Warrior, his' Floating Smoke Body Technique 'also successfully broke through the shackles and reached the fourth level.
The third and fourth levels were a watershed. Once he reached the fourth level, he could be considered to have truly mastered this body technique. Moreover, his speed would be doubled.
Before he could recover from his joy, an even bigger 'bomb' hit him again. Just the day before yesterday, he advanced to the intermediate stage of Supreme Martial Warrior again.
It was only forty days since his last advancement, which made Chen Xiuxiu and the others call him abnormal. At this moment, Luo Ping's' senses' were abnormally sharp. His arm strength had reached an astonishing 1200 jin, which had surpassed the intermediate stage of Martial Grandmaster.
After advancing to the intermediate stage of Supreme Martial Warrior, Luo Ping was even more looking forward to the upcoming 'Dragon Tiger Tournament'.
However, he was very conflicted about how to divide the ranks. He could only wait and see.
Whether it was the Martial Warrior level or the Supreme Martial Warrior level, he had enough confidence to stand out from the eighty contestants and become the only eight qualified to advance to the 'Champion Battle'.
If one were to say that he did not have a competitive heart, only a fool would believe that. In such a place where martial arts were prevalent, not having a competitive heart meant that the heart of martial arts was not firm, and it would be very difficult for one to reach the peak of martial arts.
Every martial artist wanted to defeat their opponents, defeat the strong, and even trample them under their feet. Luo Ping could not cultivate before, and his heart of martial arts was deliberately hidden.
Now that he had a superhuman talent and his cultivation speed was faster than ordinary people, he did not mind conquering his opponents with his strength and fists. The strong were born from fighting.
"Luo Ping, stop. Today's training is over."
While Luo Ping was immersed in joy and training hard, 01's voice came.
"Uncle Twelve, why did it end so early today?"
After two months of getting along, 01 had become his teacher and friend. Not only did they call each other more intimate, but they also talked about everything.
"General Commander ordered that today's training will end early, so that you can have a good rest and get used to it. There will be other arrangements for the next four days," 01 said with a smile.
"Uncle Twelve, what are we going to do in the next four days? Can you tell me? "Luo Ping asked, unwilling to give up.
"Hey, you've asked more than a hundred times. If I could tell you, I would have told you long ago. General Commander ordered that no one should disclose it."
Looking at Luo Ping's disappointed face, 01 walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Let's go. Your brothers are probably waiting for you outside."
