Fang Jie naturally didn't know that on Shenquan Mountain, thirty miles away from the martial arts arena, a few big shots with incredible cultivation were doing an earth-shattering event. Although the impact of this event on the world was not as big as it had been in the past eleven years. The previous incident was so far-reaching, but once it spread in the world, it would definitely cause huge waves. Of course, Fang Jie didn't know anything about what happened almost eleven years ago. In fact, people in the world don't even know about it.
The reason why that incident had a far-reaching impact is because without those people¡¯s heroic and fearless actions, the Sui Dynasty might not be as prosperous as it is today. No one knows how many lives were sacrificed for that matter, and these people are all leaders with extremely high cultivation levels in the world. Back then, they traveled generously for the empire called the Sui Dynasty, and the battle was stained with blood. However, their names were destined not to appear in history books, nor to be praised by others.
??Don¡¯t talk about the common people, even many big shots don¡¯t know about this.
Although the incident on Shenquan Mountain cannot be compared with that incident back then, its essence is almost the same.
Fang Jie is concentrating on competing with his opponent. This is the last test of the Martial Arts Academy. His previous performance can be described as amazing. Naturally, he does not want to become a stepping stone for others to advance at the last moment.
So even if he knows that something big is happening on Shenquan Mountain, he will do what he should do first without any distractions. Unless, of course, it affects his life.
After four rounds of competition, there were not many people on the field. Apart from those who were defeated, there were also many people who thought they did not have the strength to continue fighting and also withdrew from the competition sensibly. The competition, which was expected to last for a long time, unexpectedly came to an end in less than an hour. This made the big shots who were sitting and watching the battle breathe a little bit of relief. Although the competition was exciting, many of them had no interest in this kind of martial arts behavior.
Especially, those few bachelors who were sitting there patiently.
There are less than twenty people still standing on the field.
As long as there is one more game, the ten outstanding places will be produced.
Fang Jie got all A¡¯s in five liberal arts subjects, but the results of the first three martial arts subjects have not yet been announced, so he himself is not very sure how many points he will get. But in the end, as long as he persists in one more round of competition, he will definitely get the top marks. At this time, Fang Jie would never allow anyone to stop him from moving forward.
The person who stopped him was named Cui Pingzhou.
The Cui family of Boling deserved the title of a first-class family in the Sui Dynasty, but Cui Pingzhou was not the eldest son and grandson of the head of the Cui family, so his status in the Cui family was not too high. The most direct younger generation of the Cui family has not yet fully grown up, so he has the opportunity to stand on the martial arts field and represent the family in battle.
?Perhaps in the eyes of many people, or even most people, the examination at the Yanwu Academy is just an exam. But in the eyes of people from the Sui family, this is nothing more than a war, a war in which families compete for strength and heritage. It is a stage for the family to show off its capital to outsiders, and it is also a battlefield to show its strength to its opponents and allies.
Cui Pingzhou is not the top young talent of the Cui family, so he is more eager to use this opportunity to improve his status in the family.
So he chose Fang Jie.
Fang Jie¡¯s outstanding performance this year is only one reason for his choice, and the other is the fundamental reason for his determination. When he walked in front of Fang Jie, Cui Pingzhou acted very calm and indifferent. I don't know where his confidence comes from. You must know that Fang Jie now has a worrying strength among the candidates.
"I'm curious why I chose you?"
Cui Pingzhou asked Fang for explanation.
Fang Jie was silent for a while and then shook his head and said with a smile: "Maybe many people will choose me, but you are the fastest to make up your mind."
Cui Pingzhou smiled and said: "You are very smart, rare smart."
Fang Jie was not modest. He glanced at the other candidates who were looking towards him from a distance and said with a smile, "Maybe many of them are upset. How could you get ahead of them?"
"Because they really can't make up their mind, and neither do I."
Cui Pingzhou said truthfully: "Although you and I have different backgrounds, I really admire you. I know that the hard work it takes for a child from a poor family to get to where he is today is probably many times harder than mine. Of course, also I cannot deny your extraordinary talent. And the reason why I chose you is not only because of your outstanding performance in this exam, but also because I still think you are relatively weak among the rest. ¡±
He spread his hands and said: "I'm sorry, I was a bit direct. Although you knocked down Jiangnan Xie Fuyao just now, after thinking about it carefully, I still think he is scarier than you. Because of youHe had tried his best, and he would never try his best in this exam. You are a smart person, so you should know that I did not mean to belittle you and elevate Xie Fuyao. Because he is also a smart man and knows how he should behave. "
Fang Jie hummed: "I know, and I understand."
After he punched Xie Fuyao away, a professor from the Martial Arts Academy said it was a bit thrilling. Zhou Banchuan said to himself: One wins just right, the other loses just right, there is nothing thrilling about it. At that time, Zhou Banchuan had already seen through the nature of that seemingly fierce battle.
Xie Fuyao is very strong.
The reason why he lost to Fang Jie was because he wanted to lose from the beginning.
No matter how famous Xie Fuyao is, he is just a child of a family that has begun to decline. His family was in decline after the founding of the Sui Dynasty. In his father's generation, no one even held an official position above the fourth rank. This is indeed a tragedy for a large family that had the power to influence the affairs of the previous dynasty.
It is precisely because of this that Xie Fuyao has high expectations placed on him.
Perhaps speaking of this, Xie Fuyao should try his best to gain a higher position in the Yanwu Academy. But in fact, he would be an idiot if he did that.
¡¡
¡¡
Nowadays, among the aristocratic families in the Sui Dynasty, those who occupy the mainstream position are no longer the popular big families of the previous dynasty. The emerging aristocratic families in the Sui Dynasty never gave up suppressing those families that were very glorious in the previous dynasty. The emerging aristocratic families would never allow these old aristocratic families to have the opportunity to ride on their heads again.
In order to stabilize the country and the country, the emperor would not obviously exclude those from the previous dynasty's aristocratic families. But it will definitely take a long time for it to slowly become marginalized and eventually completely withdraw from the stage of history. Families like the Xie family and Wang family in Jiangnan could still occupy a place in the court in the early days of the Sui Dynasty. But a hundred years later, their family slowly fell into the third-rate, and in a few decades, it might be completely in decline.
At this time, Xie Fuyao, who carried the hope of the Zhongxing family, wanted to express himself and let the emperor see him, but he would never do anything to provoke those emerging aristocratic families.
Therefore, the opponent he chose was Fang Jie. Although when he was at the gate of the martial arts arena, he attacked many people and pulled many people into the battle group. Even including Yu Xiao, the son of General Zuo Wuwei Yu Manlou, including Pei Chuxing of the Pei family, including Cui Pingzhou, and even a professor from the Yanwu Academy.
But there is no doubt that his goal is Fang Jie.
The reason why he brought so many people into the battle group was because he wanted to express himself. And he did it deliberately when he lost to Fang Jie. Be pushy, but only in moderation. This is a difficult standard to grasp, and Xie Fuyao did a good job. In this year's examination of the Yanwu Academy, if he rushes to the front in a row. There is no doubt that he will get the attention of Dean Zhou and even His Majesty. There is also no doubt that those emerging aristocratic families will also pay attention to him.
If he is so powerful that he overwhelms everyone, how can those emerging families allow him to continue to shine? After finally suppressing those old aristocratic families, how can we let them see the hope of ZTE? If Xie Fuyao really overwhelms everyone, maybe he will disappear within three years.
That¡¯s why Dean Zhou said that he lost just right.
He attracted attention as the loser. What could be a more perfect performance than this?
¡°And his action of provoking the professor may seem rude, but in fact it is the truest manifestation of his pride. Perhaps everyone involved in the war was part of Xie Fuyao's plan, with the exception of Professor Mo Wanwan. Xie Fuyao challenged Mo Wanwu because his third senior brother had defeated this outstanding disciple of Mo Xiyuan many years ago. And he didn't want to lose the reputation of his third senior brother.
Cui Pingzhou figured this out, and he was sure that Xie Fuyao, who was punched away by Fang Jie, definitely did not show his full strength. And he also saw Fang Jie's performance at that time, and based on his evaluation, he felt that Fang Jie should have tried his best. In such a competition, the person who has shown all his strength in advance, even if he shows amazing combat power, is by no means the most terrifying one.
So, while others were still hesitating, Cui Pingzhou walked up to Fang Jie.
"I was doing the same thing as you before."
Cui Pingzhou smiled and said: "We have never fought against a strong opponent, so neither of us can take advantage of the other's physical strength now."
Fang Jie slowly stretched out his hand and said a word of please.
Cui Pingzhou replied: "You will have a surprise."
Fang Jie was startled, but before he could understand what Cui Pingzhou meant, Cui Pingzhou had already rushed over. Fang Jie's feet were spread apart, and he stood up like a crouching horse. He held his fists across his chest to block Cui Pingzhou's turn.??. The moment Cui Pingzhou landed on the ground, he leaned back and punched Fang Jie in the face from above. Fang Jie blocked again, and Cui Pingzhou took this opportunity to calmly turn around and face Fang Jie, attacking with a punch faster than the other.
His boxing skills can be described in one word: fast.
In just a few seconds, he had punched at least sixty times. It's so fast that you can only see the shadow of the fist and can't tell which punch is the real attack. The shadow left by the previous punch has not disappeared, and the latter punch has already hit. Every punch carries the power of cultivation. Turning the vitality of heaven and earth into fist strength, the strength can be imagined.
Fang Jie has been passively defending, persisting until the ninetieth punch and began to retreat. As Cui Pingzhou's fist speed became faster and faster, Fang Jie's steps back became larger and larger.
It seems that Fang Jie doesn¡¯t have any time to fight back. He kept retreating, and although he blocked Cui Pingzhou's fists, no one knew if he would be knocked down by a punch due to an oversight in the next second. This is the transformation of the human body by cultivation. Cui Pingzhou's punch speed is absolutely unmatched by ordinary people.
And at this moment, the people sitting on the referee's stage watching the game opened their eyes almost at the same time. Prince Yi Yang Yin couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a low exclamation, with surprise in his eyes.
Qiu Yu, a female professor with a pair of weird but beautiful white eyes, seemed to react faster than most people. A few seconds before Prince Yi Yang Yin whispered, her expression changed slightly, but she soon regained her composure.
Zhou Banchuan squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the imposing Cui Pingzhou and Fang Jie who was retreating step by step. He raised the corner of his mouth, not knowing who was satisfied with whose performance.
¡¡
¡¡
Fang Jie stepped back step by step. He didn't notice and couldn't notice that not far behind him, the land gradually changed. A large piece of soil flew up on its own and suddenly changed its shape in mid-air, turning into A stick that looks straight. There is no doubt that the lump of soil changed its shape and became hard at the same time.
This clay stick took shape, floating in the air, trembling slightly, pointing at Fang Jie's back!
Talisman Master!
No one thought that Cui Pingzhou turned out to be a good talisman master!
The reason why people who saw this scene were shocked was not because they were shocked by the fact that Cui Pingzhou was a talisman master. But he was shocked that a Talisman Master could possess such powerful combat power! You must know that talisman masters have never been suitable for close combat. They have strong mental control and can convert the vitality of heaven and earth into weapons, which is more difficult to guard against than the offensive methods of warriors who convert the vitality of heaven and earth into internal strength. But precisely because the Talisman Master transforms the vitality of heaven and earth into external objects, it will be a nightmare for them once they are approached by the enemy!
Then, Cui Pingzhou¡¯s fist speed already announced that although he is a Talisman Master, he is not afraid of close combat!
Fang Jie took another three steps back and was less than two meters away from the floating stick. Cui Pingzhou couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his eyes suddenly froze!
The stick suddenly moved and hit Fang Jie hard on the back!
