Chapter 38: Admit defeat, admit defeat. "Junior Brother Su, your instructor is Ji previous years, some of his disciples were so strong that they insisted on participating in martial arts competitions and refused to admit defeat. As a result, he was always a step slower in saving people. He did it on purpose, deliberately making people suffer. If you enter the arena, you can basically only rely on yourself." Su Chen could also hear it during the conversation. Senior Brother Wu Yi and the others also wanted me to admit defeat and stop trying to be stubborn. It’s just that their starting point is for themselves and they don’t want to get hurt. Completely different from Ji Shengke. Seeing Su Chen's hesitant expression, Wu Yi also sighed. “You came here to prove your strength and clear your name.
For a new disciple to admit defeat directly in the martial arts competition would indeed give people an excuse to criticize him. By then, there will be more people saying that you are greedy for credit and afraid of death." Everyone was silent at the round table. For Su Chen, this is really a difficult decision. After thinking about it, Wu Yi began to tell all the information he knew. The other senior brothers and sisters also reminded Su Chen. Among the new disciples, which ones have outstanding abilities and what are they good at. Anyway, I told Su Chen all the information I knew. Su Chen was grateful. Coming to Tiangang City, at least I have some close friends. Su Chen had no intention of retreating from this martial arts competition. Just as Senior Brother Wu Yi said. In the martial arts competition among new disciples, they all admitted defeat and were defeated miserably. It is a luxury to clear one's own name. In fact, in the eyes of many people, it has become supporting evidence. This martial arts competition should be a chance to verify one's own strength, and also to initially establish one's reputation. On the fourth day of the New Year, there may still be some worries. Senior Sister Yao and Senior Brother Lin Tian came to the courtyard again and gave some advice. A night has passed and today is the fifth day of the New Year.
People arrived early to take up positions around the martial arts training ground. In addition to the disciples of the Tiangang City sect, many ordinary people in the city also came to watch the fun. At noon, the sky was already bright. Su Chen went directly to the attic, where he and other fellow disciples followed Ji Sheng into the martial arts training ground. As expected, our team was the last to arrive. For a lazy person like Ji Sheng, it would be a blessing if he wasn't late. Maybe he is not lazy, but just looks down on many things, so he is very casual. There were seven other teams around, and standing in front were their respective coaches. Su Chen looked up and saw that the other gentlemen had about fourteen or fifteen people under their command. Only Ji Sheng has more people under his command, twenty-four. In the middle, the Great Elder couldn't help but frown when he saw Ji Sheng's appearance and the fact that he had just arrived with a group of disciples. At 2:00 am, Elder Shangxuan delivered the opening speech. The opening was a series of polite words, which could be considered a New Year's wish. Then he started talking about business. “In this year’s martial arts competition, each coach will compete with his subordinates first. After half of the winners are identified, the competition will continue according to the rules of previous years. During the competition, all the disciples showed off their talents, but they also had to be careful not to hurt their fellow disciples by mistake. Teachers, please protect your students. As for the rewards, the sect will customize a weapon for the winner this year. Its quality is at least top-grade. As for other rewards, they remain the same as in previous years." After everything that needed to be explained was explained, today's competition officially began. Many people had expected this change this year. In previous years, the martial arts competition took up too much time. There is no winner in one day. But now it is spring, so there is not enough time to hold this martial arts competition. This will also reduce the time of the competition. The elders only gave half an hour for each teacher to compete and identify half of the winners. That being said, everyone under the same teacher knows who are in the top half in terms of strength.
Ji Sheng turned and looked at everyone: "Is there anyone willing to quit on their own? Then you don't have to admit defeat with a shameless face. Anyway, the rewards are the same, just some pills given as a consolation. If there is no volunteer, I will just randomly select people.” After hearing these words, many disciples really chose to admit defeat. It’s not so shameful to admit defeat now. And more than half of the people had admitted defeat, so Ji Sheng randomly pointed to two of them and asked them to go up and admit defeat later. At the time of Si, this year's new disciples' martial arts competition officially began. The rules of the martial arts competition are that the team is led by a coach. In each round, each coach will arrange a disciple to step out and then challenge, or challenge others. If you lose, you are eliminated. If you win, you are included. After a round, you can play again. If the cycle continues like this, it will be basically difficult for those who are not strong enough to take advantage of the bargains. In fact, four people will be eliminated in each round. It doesn’t look like much, but in the previous few times, the difference in strength was huge. Basically, it takes less than a quarter of an hour, and a round of competition will probably be over. Su Chen looked at Ji Sheng who was standing in front of him. When the first round started, he casually called up the disciple closest to him. The eight coaches have already sent their disciples out. As for who the opponent will be, it will be discussed by the eight coaches. Because the disciples who participate in the competition will definitely pick on the weak. In the end, those who are not strong enough to enter the next round also go against the original intention of the competition. Soon, the opponent for the first round was determined. When they learned that they were going to meet Ji Sheng’s disciples, they couldn’t help but celebrate. The competition officially begins. In the first few rounds of competition, there was indeed a huge gap in strength. The outcome can be decided in almost two or three moves. Several respected gentlemen have disciples who are indeed extraordinary. Almost all opponents need the coach's protection before they can retreat safely. Seeing this scene, Su Chen looked at his classmates around him with an ugly expression.
After the first six people competed, it was the turn of Ji Sheng's disciples to take action. Before he could make a move, Su Chen saw his classmate admit defeat. He walked down with a dejected look on his face, perhaps feeling a little ashamed. But compared to getting hurt, I would rather choose humiliation. Many people around looked over here, looking at the disciples behind Ji Sheng. Even the common people were whispering and pointing at each other. Under Ji Sheng, those disciples who admitted defeat did not seem to want to lose face here, and they found opportunities to leave one by one. At the beginning of the second round, Ji Sheng randomly arranged another disciple to come forward. The result was the same. After seeing the strength of the others, the disciple lost his courage and chose to admit defeat. The third round, surrender. Round 4, surrender Under other coaches, there are wins and losses. Only here at Ji Sheng, everyone gave in. The disciples who admitted defeat left the arena one by one and quickly left. This way, the space behind Ji Sheng seemed a bit empty. The people watching were talking, laughing and pointing. Not far away, Ouyang Chuan looked at Su Chen with a smile on his face. (End of this chapter)
