"You finally woke up!"
As soon as Du Gangfu woke up, he heard a pleasant voice coming from his ears.
He was stunned for a moment, his muscles tensing up instantly, and he quickly realized where he was.
Turning around, he saw that, sure enough, Zhang Xinyi was standing aside looking at him in a white dress. She looked very cute with her slim appearance.
"Have I practiced too much?"
Du Gang remembered that the martial arts competition started a month later.
He had used the Great Dao Scroll before, and the training time was only about five to ten days. With two scrolls, it would take up to twenty days.
"No, but the situation has changed. Fortunately, you woke up..."
Zhang Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Originally, according to dad's plan, there were still ten days to hold the marriage recruitment meeting, but now we, Jiuyang Villa, are no longer in charge..."
"Um?"
Du Gang was startled. He couldn't make the decision when recruiting a bride in Jiuyang Villa
"Oh, it's probably because of us!"
Soon, she told the news about the arrival of powerful people on the human list, gradually attracting more powerful people, and later the emergence of many divine forces and sending monsters into the world.
"Are you saying that the monsters from the other four realms have also come here, and they are protected by god kings?!"
Du Gang looked at her dumbfounded, a little unbelievable that a marriage recruitment event actually detonated the entire continent and eventually became a grand event for the times? !
Zhang Xinyi sighed, "Originally, dad still had some autonomy, but after these god-kings came, fighting to find a bride is no longer the most important thing!"
"After discussion, many forces decided to let these monsters compete here."
"However, they have not forgotten us, which means that after the martial arts competition is over, it is the beginning of the battle between many monsters!"
"Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, many forces have all allocated part of their resources to reward the strong ones on the list this time!"
"Of course, it refers to the ranking after repositioning!"
Zhang Xinyi smiled and said: "You probably don't know that Tianji Pavilion has specially changed the rules of the human list for this purpose. The final ranking of the human list will be the end of the first month after the competition to recruit a bride. During this period, the ranking of the human list will be changed every day. Update, or rather, update in real time!”
Du Gang frowned, "What about you?"
"I've quit the list!"
Zhang Xinyi smiled and said: "There are too many evildoers, and none of them are worse than those on the human list. With my strength, I will definitely be kicked out, so I competed with my disciples first and gave up my ranking on the human list! "
"With your strength of 170, you can't make it into the rankings?"
Du Gang looked at her in confusion. Just the Nine Yang Divine Art increased his combat power by nine points. How could he not be able to enter
"I don't practice the Nine Yang Magic!"
Zhang Xinyi said with a smile: "Nine Yang Divine Art was originally meant for boys to practice. Of course I haven't practiced it. I originally entered the list by relying on Bai Qi. Now that the situation has changed, I won't enter!"
Du Gang nodded and said, "I understand, now let's talk about the competition to recruit a bride!"
He didn't forget about business. He had already used two of his scrolls, so he had to get things done.
What's more, he is also very greedy for the Nine Yang Magic.
Zhang Xinyi frowned slightly, "The competition to recruit a bride is worse than we thought..."
"Originally, all the major forces knew the purpose of recruiting brides at Jiuyang Villa. The top forces and first-class forces would basically not send powerful people here..."
"Even if we fight, we are still competing among second-rate forces. The strongest one is only one or two hundred people on the list!"
"but now… "
Zhang Xinyi sighed, "The reason why the top forces and first-class forces don't come to fight is to give me Jiuyang Villa face, and at the same time, they are too lazy to come..."
"And now, because of the great competition and the gathering of all forces, there are naturally many people who are unwilling to give me Jiuyang Villa face..."
She shook her head and said: "Of course there are forces who want to use me as cannon fodder in Jiuyang Villa..."
Du Gang frowned, "Are these forces so shameless?"
"Not at all!"
Zhang Xinyi shook her head, "Most of the forces are still moral and graceful. They probably won't participate in the marriage recruitment this time!"
"But it's hard to say what those demonic forces are doing. They act based on their will. Even if they win the top spot in the end, it's still a matter of opinion whether they marry me or not..."
"So, it's going to be even harder for you this time!"
Du Gang chuckled, "I'm already 180 years old now, don't worry!"
Before, he had already ranked among the top 100 in terms of combat power.
What's more, now that it has reached 180, the basic combat power bonus has reached a terrifying 72,000 Nar.
This means that once he uses Ji Zi Mi, his combat power can temporarily increase to 720,000.
In the past, one hundred and eighty was basically the entry threshold for the top 100 people, but now Du Gang has reached it.
Although many monsters have been born and the threshold for making the list has become higher, the 180 strong men are still among the most magnificent figures.
Seeing that he was confident, Zhang Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief. In the past two days, as more and more people gathered in the villa, she was under great pressure, fearing that she would eventually be married off by someone else.
After all, with so many forces once again, more than a hundred god kings visited alone, and the matter was no longer within her father's control.
"In that case, let me tell you the rules!"
"The rules are actually very simple. I have some senior brothers who will sit in the ring. Anyone who defeats them today can participate in tomorrow's game..."
After a while, Du Gang understood the specific content of the rules.
There are three days in the competition to recruit a bride. The first day is a screening. Only those who pass the first day can compete on the second day.
This is actually a disguised limit on the number of people, because there are not many senior brothers guarding the ring here, which means that not many people can challenge at the same time.
In addition, those who did not participate in the selection on the first day will not be able to participate on the second and third days. This is also to prevent those monsters from coming to compete on a whim.
After the first day of screening, on the second day, all those who passed the test began to compete against each other. Those who won continued to compete, and those who lost one game were directly eliminated. In the end, a small number of remaining people were qualified to advance to the third day.
As for the last day, it was even more simple. Everyone competed in pairs, the loser was eliminated directly, the winner continued to fight the winner, and finally the last person was determined.
In short, those who are undefeated will win the final victory, but those who lose once will be eliminated. It is extremely simple.
Du Gang nodded and said, "So, is today the first day?"
"Yes, they have already started over there. I came here because I was worried that you wouldn't wake up. If there wasn't enough time..."
"Okay, in that case, I'll go out and get today's tickets!"
…
…
When Du Gang came near the selection ring for martial arts contests and marriage recruitment, he finally understood what Zhang Xinyi meant by limiting the number of people.
There are ten arenas in total, but there are a lot of people queuing in front of the arena to participate in the selection. The good thing is that Jiuyang Villa uses tokens to draw numbers.
That is, each contestant has a number plate, and the challenge is carried out in the order of the number plate. If someone fails to participate today, the number plate will be invalid!
In order to reduce the number of other people shortlisted, Jiuyang Villa even secretly sent some people to get the number plates in advance, so as to reduce the time of those who actually participated in the competition in disguise, thereby controlling the number of people.
Of course, Du Gang didn't need to get a number plate. Before he came out, Zhang Xinyi got him a number plate for the upcoming competition.
Therefore, as soon as Du Gang arrived at the ring, it was his turn.
Quite coincidentally, the person guarding the ring was none other than Jiuyang's contemporary senior brother Yan Jingyun, whom he had met once before.
"Brother Du!"
"Brother Yan!"
The two came on the court and started chatting instead of rushing to do anything.
"Brother Du, are you still used to eating in the villa?"
He was ordered to delay time with his master, not just for Du Gang, but for everyone.
Du Gang naturally wouldn't expose him and started chatting along.
The people waiting in line at the bottom got impatient, and Yan Jingyun handed over his hand, "Brother Du, you and I are like old friends. We should have had a drink, but now we are in the ring, so it is better to get the game going first, wait. Let’s talk about it later?”
"good!"
As Du Gang nodded, Yan Jingyun also started to move, stepping on the seven-star step, holding a long sword and stabbing towards him with the sword flower in his arm.
When Du Gang saw this, he swayed, took a step back to avoid the sharp edge, and then flicked his left foot. As if changing his body, he flashed to the right, and at the same time, he shot out with a palm, Hit Yan Jingyun.
The two of them were going back and forth, which was very lively, but the people watching in the audience didn't quite buy it.
"It's so fake, I can't even think of it. Are you having fun?!"
But there was nothing they could do. The two of them did not violate any rules. They could only say that they were evenly matched.
When the fight lasted for nine minutes, Yan Jingyun reminded: "Brother Du, according to the rules, if you don't defeat me within ten minutes, you will lose!"
The reason why he reminded him was because he had discovered that Du Gang was much stronger than him. The reason why the fight lasted until now was obviously because the other party showed mercy.
He couldn't pretend not to say anything when the other party was giving him face, otherwise wouldn't it make him, Yan Jingyun, look too insidious
Yan Jingyun's reputation naturally doesn't matter to him, but his identity is the contemporary eldest brother of Jiuyang Villa, which will actually tarnish the reputation of his master.
As for the transaction between Du Gang and Zhang Xinyi, he didn't know, or in other words, only Zhang Xinyi and Zhang Youwei knew about it in the entire Jiuyang Villa.
Naturally, Du Gang wouldn't be a bitch to say this, he cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Yan, for reminding me!"
After saying that, the strength of his hand suddenly increased by 30%, and Yan Jingyun was knocked off the ring in one fell swoop.
"Concession!"
Although Yan Jingyun was knocked off the ring, he was not injured. He smiled and nodded, congratulating: "Brother Du, congratulations on your promotion. You can participate in the next round tomorrow!"
After Du Gang left the ring, he did not stay here. Instead, he quietly entered the inner courtyard of Jiuyang Villa and met Zhang Xinyi.
"Although we have limited the time and number of people, one game is basically five minutes on average, and there are still many people who advance to the second day!"
Zhang Xinyi continued: "I have arranged for someone to come and report if there are any strong players worthy of attention participating..."
The two of them just waited in the room. From time to time, someone came in to report the situation outside, but it was all normal news. Some guys at the bottom of the list were not worth mentioning.
It wasn't until late in the evening that someone came out with an interesting news, "Huang Yu, the Qiankun Zhang, who is ranked 311th on the popular list, is participating!"
Hearing the news, Du Gang burst into laughter, "I didn't expect that Brother Huang would still be thinking about you and also participate in the competition!"
Zhang Xinyi knew that Huang Yu and Du Gang went up the mountain together, and asked curiously: "Are you friends?"
"It doesn't count!"
Du Gang smiled and said: "We met on the road and came together. We don't know much about him, but he is just an interesting person!"
He saw clearly what Huang Yu was showing off in front of him, but he didn't expose it at the time.
Zhang Xinyi nodded and asked: "By the way, Du Gang, in three days, when the competition is over, it will be the turn of those monsters to compete. Will you participate when the time comes?"
"certainly!"
Du Gang's eyes flashed and he affirmed: "This kind of prosperous age is rare in a million years, not to mention that you can compete with people from other regions, why not participate?"
Zhang Xinyi said worriedly: "Then you have to be more careful. I heard that in the age of mythology, there were top gods at the divine level who could not only kill the physical body, but also the gods..."
Du Gang frowned, "You mean, if you kill one god, you can kill other gods as well?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Xinyi nodded and said: "I heard that among the evildoers this time, there is a young supreme who has been frozen from the mythical era to modern times. He might have mastered this method... In short, you have to be careful!"
"rest assured!"
Du Gang chuckled and didn't care. To kill a god, you have to be able to kill him. This means that the enemy's combat strength is more than 720,000, which is not very likely.
At this moment, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and Sakura ran in in a hurry.
"Miss, something serious has happened..."
After she came in, she glanced at Du Gang and said quickly: "There is a monster participating in the competition!"
Although she didn't know about the deal between Du Gang and Zhang Xinyi, she knew that Zhang Xinyi liked Du Gang. When something like this happened, she naturally became anxious and panicked.
"Who is it?!" Zhang Xinyi asked nervously.
"He is an evildoer from the Jiang family, one of the top 100 divine clans. It is said that the Jiang family has a genius named Jiang Tianxin who is unparalleled in ancient and modern times. Although not much is known about the specific circumstances, according to relevant personnel, Jiang Tianxin once On the way here, I met an evildoer from the Kui Niu family. After a short confrontation, the two parties separated... "
Xiaoying was worried that the two of them did not understand the true meaning, and added: "What kind of person is the monster of the Kui Niu family? Ordinary people would have been killed long ago if they confronted him like this. How could they let it go so easily? But Jiang Tianxin... He escaped with his whole body, so it can be imagined that even if he is not as good as the one from the Kui Niu tribe, he is not far behind!"
Jiang Tianxin…
Du Gang secretly guessed that this might be the Jiang family coming to trouble him...
etc!
He was suddenly stunned. He had not told Gu Cheng about his relationship with Jiuyang Villa. How did Gu Cheng know about the situation here
If the ancient city didn't know, then how could the Jiang family send someone here and sign up specifically.
With his status, he definitely looks down on the marriage at Jiuyang Villa!
Is it really a coincidence
impossible!
There are not so many coincidences in the world!
On issues related to oneself, any coincidence may be a conspiracy against oneself.
If so, can the ancient city monitor its own location and situation
Du Gang opened his mouth and thought of the situation in Pangu Continent when that true god-level powerhouse could position himself at will and teleport wherever he wanted.
It's really possible!
Perhaps, at the god-level stage, one's position can only be determined through the leftover materials from the casting of the body, but at levels above the true god, it can be determined through other methods.
For example, according to the law of cause and effect, it is not impossible to directly position yourself based on your relationship with the Jiang family!
In short, wait until you enter the competition to judge.
If Jiang Tianxin really came for him, it means that his position can be known to many people.
If it is really just a coincidence and he wants to take advantage of it for fun and has nothing to do with him, then he is just overthinking it.
"This is how to do ah!"
Zhang Xinyi was obviously panicked, and she lost some sense of proportion. She walked back and forth, "No, I'm going to find daddy to see if I can kick this person out..."
After saying that, she hurriedly left the room, and Xiaoying quickly followed, leaving Du Gang alone in the room.
Du Gang shrugged. Isn't this woman too unsure of herself? !
What about Jiang Tianxin? !
If you can't even beat him, how can you compete with others? !
Moreover, as early as when his cultivation reached the level of the Second Tribulation God, he discovered some changes in his ancient god's body.
These days, I haven't used it, just because I want to use it as a trump card and keep it in hand.
"Let's see if anyone can completely force out my ancient god's body!"
Du Gang smiled lightly, closed his eyes, and collected himself.
…
…
The next day, the marriage recruitment competition started in a very low-key corner of the platform.
Not many people passed the first level, only more than 2,000 people. This was the result of Jiuyang Villa's deliberate control.
Among these people, the peak powerhouses account for the majority. In addition, there are also some 160 powerhouses and 170 powerhouses. These people really come with the intention of forming an alliance with Jiuyang Villa. Most of them are A descendant of a second-rate force.
The strongest among them is Huang Yu.
At this moment, Huang Yu stood at the edge of the ring with a depressed look on his face.
"This time, I was supposed to be the one to take down the Prince Consort. Why did the evildoer from the Jiang family come to intervene!"
On the side, the people from Baihong Villa also had sad faces.
"Senior brother, the only one participating this time is an evildoer from the Jiang family. Do you think he is deliberately targeting you?!"
Against me? !
Huang Yu frowned and quickly shook his head, "How is it possible? I have never had any contact with the Jiang family. How can there be any hatred? What's more, Jiang Tianxin, a monster, has been staying in their family. How can there be an opportunity to offend? he?!"
"I can't. Is it because the girl from Zuimenglou came to trouble me?!"
The only possibility he could think of was this. He had made love with many girls in Zuimenglou, and who knew which one would be Jiang Tianxin's true love...
The second day of competition was the same as the first day, taking place on ten stages.
Originally, Du Gang wanted to take a look at what Jiang Tianxin looked like, but in the end, he didn't come at all, but sent a follower over.
In this situation, all the other contestants dared to get angry but dare not speak out. After all, the Jiang family is a god clan with a profound foundation and cannot be provoked by second-rate forces like them.
In fact, the gap between second-rate and first-rate is very large.
Second rate, generally one or two god kings can become second rate.
But the first-class ones are different. The number of god-kings is at least two digits. There are even more god-kings hidden among some of the top ten god clans.
The Jiang family is very powerful. Even among the gods, they are ranked high. Naturally, they cannot be provoked by these second-rate forces.
However, the most irritating thing is that the follower who represents Jiang Tianxin is a strong man who ranks over 300 on the list!
No one expected that a strong man of this level would be willing to be a follower for his peers.
As you can imagine, Jiang Tianxin advanced successfully.
As for Du Gang, under Zhang Xinyi's arrangement, he was promoted very smoothly and did not even meet a strong opponent.
"It seems that if we want to fight, we have to wait until tomorrow..."
Du Gang shook his head and returned to his residence after confirming his promotion.
PS: I have been out on business for the past two days, and I have always used mobile phone codes in public places. I wrote these all morning and sent them out.
