Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 146 Fighting
Following Shen Zhong's order, a plainly dressed stranger took advantage of the hesitation of the people in the Dharma lineage and jumped onto the platform first.

Seeing someone volunteered, Qin Huai opened the camera with interest and focused his attention on this person.

[Mountain Barbarian - Ruan Ke]

Category: Monster

Specialization: Earth Magic 80%, Demon Power 69%
Skill: Mountain Blessing (Exclusive to Mountain Barbarians)
Shan Wu Ling (can manipulate soil, rocks, and mountains to change the terrain)

Comprehensive evaluation: Jiuyao

"Mr. Deputy Envoy, although I am not talented, I am willing to do my best for the Three Departments. I just wonder if anyone among you is willing to learn from me?"

This strange man had short hair and wide ears, and was covered in tattoos. He was shoeless, wearing a coarse jute shirt, and had only a rattan stick in his hand.

Grandson of Prince Hung, Ruan Ke.

"This"

Everyone off the field started whispering. It seemed that Ruan Ke had some fame in Jiaozhi.

Although most of the natives of Annan claim to be descendants of the royal princes, due to their different ancestors and the evolution of the living environment over a long period of time, the talents of different tribes vary greatly.

The natives of Annan have developed to this day, and each tribe actually has one or two hidden tricks. The reason why the tribal representatives who did not participate in the rebellion seem to have a weak presence is not because they are not powerful and were not invited by the Li family. It is more because they recognize the rule of the three officials and do not want to shed blood in vain.

Although Ruan Ke was not the most famous among the descendants of many powerful princes, he had made a great name for himself in the fifteen prefectures with his geomancy.

Nguyen Ke's ancestor was the lord of the 100,000 mountains in Annan legend, the god of mountain spirits and the King of Ten Thousand Mountains, Nguyen.

Thousands of years ago, Wan Shan Jun Nguyen married Mei Niang, a direct descendant of the Hung King, and gave birth to children. After their descendants received the blessings of the mountain spirits and the dragon fairy, they have been resting and recuperating, rarely fighting with others. To this day, this mountain chieftain has become one of the largest tribes in Jiaozhi.

As the temple priest of Fengzhou Mountain God Temple, Ruan Ke's earth magic skills are rare in the world. Although it is inseparable from his unique bloodline, the fact that he can stand out from his peers is enough to show his means.

Is he trying to win the favor of the three courts in one fell swoop?
The people in the audience were murmuring in their hearts, trying to find a reason for his actions.

But if I lose, not only will I lose face, but I won't be able to make up for the lost energy and effort.
However, there are still many sects with profound backgrounds who are planning to compete. It would be best if they can come out on top, but if they lose, they can also consume the energy of the first bird to come out, so it's not a loss in any way.

"Soft stone, others may be afraid of you, but I am not!"

There was a muffled "bang" sound, and a barefoot strong man bent over appeared on the platform.

The sturdy man wrapped in black cloth strode forward, with scales faintly visible under his skin.

Looking at the remaining water stains under the strong man's feet, black ripples passed through Qin Huai's eyes.

[Water Snake People·Yuan]

Category: Monster

Expertise: Water Magic 82%, Magic Power 65%
Skill: Water Shade (exclusive to Water Snake people)
Raging Flow (can manipulate ocean currents and water vapor to transform into water blades and waves)

Comprehensive evaluation: Jiuyao

"Why are the Waterborn here too? Do they want to compete with us for the Heavenly Being's enlightenment?"

Some people in the Dharma lineage were puzzled and looked at Yuan with unfriendly eyes.

"It is said that the celestial phenomena in Yushan and Yushui have been disturbed recently. The strong winds and waves have not only driven away the fish, but also swept away several water creatures!"

Unlike mountain dwellers and land dwellers, the coastal water people are born with a love for the ocean and can breathe freely underwater since childhood. Talented people like Yuan can manipulate ocean currents and water when they grow up, and can be called children of the sea.

Listening to a few young people discussing these irrelevant topics, a white-skinned old man in strange clothes chuckled, attracted everyone's attention, and then dug out a past event from the pile of old papers.

"Boys, you don't know, right? Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Ruan family and the chief of the Shuiyan clan were neighbors! But later, the two fought to the death over a woman. Until now, the two are still mortal enemies. In my opinion, you are in for a treat today!"

Qin Huai heard every word of the conversation between the few people, which reminded him of some old-fashioned movie scenes.

"Brother, who do you think will win?"

"It's hard to say. This wooden platform is far away from mountains and water. Putting aside the right time and place, both of them have a chance."

Guangyu was unbiased in his words, but judging from his expression, he was obviously more optimistic about Ruan Ke. After all, no matter how high the platform was, it was only three feet above the ground, and it was far from the water.
Qin Huai saw that the two people on the field were ready, so he spoke loudly.

"You two, remember, stop when you're done."

As soon as the words fell, the people of the water snake suddenly lifted up their black robes, revealing their pale and muscular bodies and two short forks. Ruan Ke's expression remained unchanged, he muttered something, and with a cane in his hand, the wooden board under his feet began to vibrate irregularly.

Yuan let out a sinister laugh, and with the short fork in his hands moving forward and backward, he stomped his feet hard, and pounced towards Ruan Ke like an angry whale.

Ruan Ke clenched his hands tightly and pushed the rattan stick made of a thousand-year-old vine forward. The two of them moved their feet quickly and the two forks of the stick were entangled together.

"die!"

In a gap, Yuan pushed the tip of the fork towards Ruan Ke's throat, and the water blade condensed out of thin air slashed towards the back of the head of the mountain temple priest, showing perfect tacit understanding.

Eternal vine, green vine!
Ruan Ke suddenly ducked his body, and two vines wrapped around the sturdy man's body. An emerald green light flashed by, and a poisonous mist slowly dissipated, obviously trying to catch him off guard!

The scales under the strong man's blue-white skin slowly emerged. Then he closed his mouth and nose, exerted force on his shoulders and neck, and the vines broke into pieces, and stabbed down with both forks!

The dark blue current coiled around the fork, like a vicious dragon!

Ruan Ke was like a slippery loach, his back and limbs seemed to have no friction at all, and he flew half a meter out of thin air.

The double forks chopped off the attacking rock spikes, and the sturdy man leaped in front of Ruan Ke.

Just as the double forks were about to stab Ruan Ke's heart, Qin Huai nodded, and a cloud tail emerged behind him, about to force the two to stop.

Bang! Bang!
The sound of metal clashing against stone came from the platform. Seeing the short fork unable to move forward and Ruan Ke covered in yellow-brown rock shells, Qin Huai immediately stopped Yunwei's forward momentum.

The iron fork flashed blue light, and the veins in his arms bulged. With each collision, the strong man would break Ruan Ke's rock shell a little. Before long, Ruan Ke's body was covered with scars.

boom!
Ruan Ke had been chanting the spell for hundreds of breaths when he suddenly stopped. The muddy yellow mountain shadow came crashing down and suppressed the strong man to death!
Earth Technique: Mountain Meteorite!

A mouthful of blood spurted out, the faint blue light dissipated into the air, and the fishy smell of the sea surged.

Before Qin Huai could come to rescue people, an angry narwhal smashed the phantom of the mountains into pieces.

Raging flow, whale leap!

"What? Weather!" There was an uproar on the field. The white-skinned old man looked shocked, obviously very surprised.

"Have the mountain and water descendants not always relied on the legacy of their ancestors for a living? When will they be able to practice Qigong?"

thump!
The blood vomited by the strong man quickly expanded and connected with the blue dot that was previously hidden in the air. In the blink of an eye, the waterfall-like torrent rushed down on Ruan Ke's head with a tremendous force.

Wild flow, Yellow Spring falling!
The azure blue torrent shattered the mountains, and the blue-black aftermath stretched and undulated, with mist filling the air.

"strong enough!"

A green and yellow cloud with black and white stripes rose up, the mist dissipated, and Ruan Ke, the mountain temple god who was protected by Qin Huai, reappeared in front of everyone.

Looking at the mountain barbarian whose face was as pale as gold paper and whose rattan stick flew away to who knows where, Qin Huai waved his hand, and Ruan Ke was rolled up by the cloud tail and sent to the medical officer arranged by the Three Departments.

The strong Shui Yi on the stage pulled off his black robe, spat out two mouthfuls of blood foam, then jumped off the platform without hesitation and walked out.

"Hey, warrior, would you like to accompany me?"

The strong Shuiyi seemed not to have heard Qin Huai's call, and disappeared at the end of the square after three or five steps.

"What an arrogant water creature, what a domineering water magic."

"This military officer has such a powerful demeanor!"

The eyes of the people in the Dharma lineage flickered. In addition to their fear of the methods of the strong water creature, they were more curious about Lu Wu's aura.

Being able to remain unscathed by such a powerful Yellow Spring, Qingwei must be able to dominate Jiaozhi for another ten years, right?

Where did Qingwei kidnap this genius from? !

Qin Huai, wearing a black martial arts uniform, took a step forward, closed his Baji beast body, and retracted his cloud tail behind him.

"Now that everyone has watched this grand opening, it's time to go on stage and show off your skills, right?"

Hearing Qin Huai's urging, the audience looked at Ruan Ke, who had recovered most of his condition after taking the precious pill, and obviously wanted to see what the leader had to say. However, they saw Ruan Ke just closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, without any other movements, and it was obvious that he did not intend to fight for victory again.

On the stands, Guangyu looked thoughtful and said to Qin Huai, "The mountain barbarians and the water snakes have been fighting for thousands of years, and they have always been evenly matched, with no clear winner. Now, the mountain temple priest holding a thousand-year-old rattan staff was defeated so easily by that man. It seems that this water descendant from the coastal waters has another kind of luck."

"Maybe it has something to do with the fierce winds and waves between the Jade Mountain and the Jade Water. In that case, Mr. Qin should be more careful on this trip."

Zhiwei followed Guangyu and added silently.

As the saying goes, experts watch the doorway, and laymen watch the fun.

Today's battle of magic is a competition of immediate combat power and endurance in the face of emergencies. There is no time for the many magicians to set up altars and pray to ghosts and gods. This is a real battle of Taoism, magic and art. If there is a slight difference, it means loss. After all, the three officials promised such a huge profit this time in order to select truly useful people.

After the fight between the mountain spirits and the water tribes, the various sects were no longer reserved, and the four platforms were immediately filled. Under the supervision of Qin Huai and the other two, within a few rounds, each of the four platforms had its champion.

After several rounds of competition, except for one unlucky guy who met his natural enemy, the champions of other platforms have gradually been determined.

Qin Huai looked at the four red figures, three deep and one light, in his field of vision, and started to make plans in his mind.

Although these four Jiuyao natives combined may not be as powerful as Guangyu, they are still a considerable help. Besides, there are several people who were defeated just now who are quite capable, so perhaps we can recruit one or two of them.

Just as Qin Huai was selecting team members, a Buddhist chant sounded on the stage, attracting Qin Huai's attention.

"Amitabha, please give me this gift."

Qin Huai looked up and saw a big monk dressed similarly to Zhiwei on the stage, ready to fight with someone.

Name: Zhiming

Status: Qi, Infinite Vajra, Six Senses, Vajra Indestructible
Expertise: Buddhism 89%, ???
Active skills: Endless Dust Disturbance, ???, ???
Threat Level: Deep Red
Note: The eighty infinities are able to contain all the Buddha Dharma, hence the name "infinite meaning".

Monk Zhiming has a pair of almond-shaped eyes, a full and round face, a fair and beardless complexion, a lion nose and thick lips, and strong limbs and torso. His appearance and temperament are just like Zhiwei, as if they were carved from the same mold.

Looking at the familiar Vajra, Qin Huai was looking forward to the next fight. The reason was that the opponent chosen by the monk was not a good person.

Name: Guan Wei

Status: The weather is shifting, the four realms of Taoism and art
Specialization: Boxing 88%, ???
Skills: Rage Slash, ???
Note: Yiji, its shape is like a membrane dog, with red beak, red eyes, and white tail. When it is seen, there will be fire in the town.

Threat Level: Deep Red
Seeing Zhiming's greeting, Guan Wei didn't hesitate either. A circle of flames burst out from under his feet, and he accelerated suddenly, rushing in front of the monk like a raging flame.

A fist as big as a casserole was thrown out from the dazzling green lotus with a sharp whistle of wind under high temperature. The air between the two was squeezed away by this punch, making a violent sonic boom.

The rose-red flaming fist came like a stream of light.

The monk's expression remained unchanged, as his six senses had already sensed something. He misstepped and the flames brushed across his face, burning his Vajra body red.

Zhiming lifted his heel, and his ankle and sole bounced up together. He changed his pace continuously, and relied on his amazing physical control to move left and right, avoiding Guan Wei's knife palm that was following closely!
Taking advantage of Guan Wei's slowing momentum, the big monk stretched his body like a bow, seized this fleeting opportunity, and suddenly rushed forward. The Arhat's punch was as heavy as iron and collided violently with Guan Wei's arm wrapped in green flames.

Bang!
When the fist landed, the monk felt as if he had hit an active volcano that was erupting and emitting lava. The flaming fist force actually fell towards him as fast as a meteorite from the sky.

Guan Wei also felt that there seemed to be an indestructible Vajra with the power of a dragon and an elephant in front of him. It ignored everything and just slowly pushed forward with the power of heaven and earth, which was really suffocating.

The two separated as soon as they touched, and light appeared on their bodies. Then the two stepped heavily, the wooden board cracked, and the two balls of light, one gold and one blue, entangled together again.

"If you want to truly unleash the power of this weather, you must combine the magic and martial arts."

Qin Huai listened to Guangyu mumbling, but he had no time to respond. The situation was already intense, and he couldn't be distracted.

Guan Wei's whole body was boiling with green flames, and countless flames came out of his seven orifices. A dog's head with red beak and red eyes appeared on his shoulders, and his whole body exuded a heroic and majestic spirit.

The big monk gathered all his energy, and his muscles were like steel balloons, both soft and hard. He remained unmoved under Guan Wei's fierce attack that was like a raging storm.

"Blue Lotus Blooms!"

Guan Wei's blood was aroused, and the already boiling green flames rose again. An invisible repulsive force burst out from his body, and the flames expanded and pushed away like a wave. The green flame lotus petals bloomed, and countless fist shadows that were so dense that they were substantial blasted out rapidly like lotus cores, covering the world around the monk and locking him tightly!
With his six senses fully opened, the monk's body shrank suddenly, and a platinum-colored statue with a fist in his left hand and a flower cloud in his right hand suddenly appeared behind him.

In a flash, the monk clasped his hands together, chanted Buddhist scriptures, and an endless cloud of Vajra flowers spread forward behind him.

"Living beings give rise to false thoughts based on the truth, and the world is filled with endless disturbances"
