My Projections Are All Holy Spirit Root

Chapter 17 A promise worth a thousand pieces of gold

The Purple Dawn City Youth Martial Dao Cup starts in August and ends at the end of September every year.

The competition is divided into two major stages.

The first major stage starts in mid-August.

Using a tournament system, it will take a week to select the top sixteen from countless applicants throughout the city. This stage will end before the end of August.

Martial Dao, is the number one most popular sport in the world.

Second only to the Transcendent Immortal Dao...

Just don’t mention it.

For people in small cities, Martial Dao is something they can really get around.

Therefore, every time the Martial Dao Cup starts, it is an unprecedented event with countless applicants.

Of course, most of them signed up just for a hobby.

Some people who have just stimulated their energy and blood and have not even reached Bone Tempering will sign up to join in the fun.

Therefore, the first major task is to eliminate these fakers and select the sixteen strongest people.

At this point, it is the second stage that the city is paying attention to in September.

This stage is also called the official competition.

In order to gain greater attention and ratings, the official competition will no longer be conducted in a tournament system, but will be held once a week to determine the top eight, top four, and champion and runner-up.

Four rounds a month, once a week.

Every official competition will be watched by thousands of households, and the champion of each session will also gain huge popularity and influence.

In the same way, the martial arts gym or organization where the champion belongs will undoubtedly become the biggest winner in the next year.

The reason why Li Hengxin paid such a high price was that he wanted to make friends with Xu Jun, but he also wanted to use Xu Jun's power to advertise the martial arts gym.

It's just that the advertising fee is a bit expensive.

Although Xu Jun agreed to Li Hengxin’s request and represented Roaring Thunder Martial Hall in the competition.

But he didn't take this matter to heart, but continued to study, play, and practice martial arts step by step every day.

Moreover, he spends at most one hour on Martial Dao every day.

The purpose is not to strive for excellence, but just to not regress.

As for those things like taking the next step forward...

Xu Jun is very self-aware and knows that he is not the material.

In a blink of an eye, it’s mid-August.

On this day, in the first-level practice room of the martial arts gym, Xu Jun finished practicing and pushed out the door.

After he showed the Innate Sword Chime in the martial arts gym, Li Qiankun took the initiative to move him to a first-level training room, and never mentioned the cost again.

Ahead, Li Qiankun was waving to him with a smile on his face.

"Brother Xu, the battle list is out. Acquired, you will start the first round."

Xu Jun opened the watch and received a battle list.

In order to prevent strong dialogue in the qualifiers, the strong ones will be eliminated. Therefore, the qualifiers are conducted in a group stage system.

According to the number of applicants, in each round, a group of eight to ten people will compete in a melee, and the last three people standing will advance.

And so on until the top thirty-two are determined.

Although it is inevitable that strong players will make mistakes or be eliminated by being surrounded, but that is a small probability.

The qualifiers will not be broadcast publicly due to the uneven quality of players.

After all, no one wants to see ten novices beating each other in the ring with bastard fists. It would be too embarrassing for the organizing committee.

Xu Jun just glanced at it.

Well, except for himself, he didn't know any of these nine people.

Then it'll be fine.

"Thank you, I understand, Acquired will compete on time."

Li Qiankun nodded and said: "Brother Xu, in fact, for you, there is no need to worry about the qualifiers at all. There is no need to be so cautious."

Xu Jun was startled and asked: "What?"

Li Qiankun looked solemn and said: "You only have one hour of practice every day. If I guess correctly, you should keep yourself in the best condition at the cost of giving up continued progress."

Xu Jun opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

However, under the Transparent Sword Heart, he reacted immediately.

Therefore, Xu Jun nodded slightly with a serious face and said: "I promised Master Li that I will go all out."

Li Qiankun was quite moved and said: "Brother Xu attaches great importance to the promise, and Qiankun is grateful. However, we hope that this participation will not cause any trouble to you. You should make cultivation your first goal, and not just because of it." It's a small gain but a big drag on your Martial Dao future."

Xu Jun's mouth twitched slightly and he thought to himself.

Of course I understand this truth, but unfortunately, after one and a half months of practice, he came to a frustrating fact.

That is, no matter how hard he tries, his own Sword Dao realm will remain at this level.

Originally Unity of Man and Sword, it was Unity of Man and Sword.

Originally Innate Sword Chime, it was Innate Sword Chime.

It only takes one hour of practice every day to maintain the feel and not to deteriorate.

But if you want to make progress, you really have to think too much.

Through this incident, he fully understood.

That's what your talent is, whether you work hard to practice it or just mess around, there won't be any difference in the result.

In this case, if he continues to work blindly, he will be a real fool.

"I understand, thank you Brother Li for your kindness." Xu Jun said seriously: "However, I can't go against my own principles, so I can only accept your kindness."

After saying that, Xu Jun smiled slightly and left gracefully.

Li Qiankun hesitated to speak, but looked at his leaving back and sighed.

Sword repair.

This is the real sword cultivation.

A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and a Sword Heart is as strong as iron.

While feeling deep admiration, Li Qiankun was also determined.

Xu Jun must be tied to the chariot of his martial arts school.

Making friends with such a swordsman is the most reassuring thing.

Two days later, Xu Jun followed the prompts on his watch and came to the arena wearing the competition uniform provided by Roaring Thunder Martial Hall.

Although it is a qualifier that will not be broadcast, even if it is just the relatives and friends of the contestants, it is not a small number.

Xu Jun queued for an hour, and finally it was their group's turn to play.

The arena is not small and can accommodate ten people.

But after there are ten people, there is not much room for activities.

In the first draw, people from the same martial arts school will not be grouped together.

Therefore, Xu Jun is the only one from Roaring Thunder Martial Hall in the ring.

Among the ten people, there was a man with a height of two meters, a dark complexion, a strong build, and muscles as solid as iron that stood out the most.

Everyone on and off the stage paid close attention to him.

A man approached Xu Jun and whispered: "Hey, little brother, when the meeting starts, let's work together to knock down the big black guy."

Xu Jun was startled and said in surprise: "Hit him first?"

Doesn't it mean that in such competitions, there is usually a tacit agreement to defeat the strongest player first?

And if the strongest person is too strong and cannot be beaten, they will each make small moves to try to be the three people left on the stage.

However, when Xu Jun looked at the big black guy, he didn't think that this guy was better than him.

However, he only hesitated for a second, then nodded heavily and said, "Okay, hit him first!"
