Song Yan had just sat down for a while when Li Muyang came and sat next to him.
"Brother Song, don't you mind?" Li Muyang asked with a smile.
"Brother Li is joking." Song Yan smiled.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the empty seats on the field were filled with young warriors who came to participate in the competition to find a bride. A total of 360 people were counted.
"Brother Song, do you think Miss Zhu will show up?" Li Muyang said expectantly.
"I guess so."
At this moment, someone shouted, "Miss Zhu Eldest is here," and for a moment, everyone turned their heads to look at the entrance of the martial arts arena.
I saw a slim woman wearing a plain white dress and covered with a white gauze walking toward the martial arts arena surrounded by four stunningly beautiful maids.
Although Miss Zhu covered her face with a white gauze, her walking posture was extremely graceful, and she exuded an indescribable charm, which almost made everyone present have their eyes straightened and their expressions were infatuated.
For a while, words of praise such as "so beautiful" and "just like a fairy descending to earth" kept popping up from the mouths of the warriors.
Song Yan felt something strange. Miss Zhu must have practiced some extremely advanced charm skills to be able to charm all the men.
With his eyesight, he could completely ignore the veil on her face. In his opinion, Zhu Yiren's appearance was considered an average beauty. At best, she was on par with the four maids behind her. To be honest, she was even slightly inferior.
"The name of Miss Zhu's beauty is indeed well-deserved." Li Muyang sighed at the side, with appreciation in his eyes, but not obsession.
Song Yan was a little surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect that Li Muyang could get away from the influence of Zhu Yiren's charm so quickly.
"My little girl Zhu Yiren has met all the young heroes."
A soft but slightly hoarse voice came from Zhu Yi's mouth. The eyes of everyone who were already obsessed with her had become fanatical, and they wanted to rush up to hug her and ravage her.
Seeing this scene, Song Yan's mouth showed a trace of amusement.
I have a vague feeling that there might be an ulterior secret in this competition to recruit a bride.
Zhu Yiren only showed one side and then left. This one side alone moved the hearts of most of the people who came to participate in the competition to find a bride, and they all vowed to win the competition and win the beauty.
Later, Mr. Zhu arrived.
Mr. Zhu is already in his early fifties. He is not as wealthy as ordinary rich people. He is extremely thin and has a sickly complexion. It is obvious at a glance that he is injured.
Song Yan could see through the reality of Mr. Zhu at a glance. He had the ninth level of innate cultivation, but he had extremely serious injuries in his body. He only relied on his own true energy to suppress it, so it was good to be able to exert 10% of his strength. .
Next, Mr. Zhu told everyone the rules of the contest to recruit a bride, and the contest was held over two days.
On the first day, twelve candidates will be selected through a one-on-one elimination competition.
The next day, the twelve winners will be tested by Zhu Yiren in person, and she will select the most satisfactory one to become her husband.
"The first round of eliminations is now underway. Anyone whose ID number is read please come to the ring."
As soon as Mr. Zhu finished speaking, ten servants boarded the ten arenas.
The butler on stage No. 1 read loudly: "Please come on stage to No. 1 and No. 11."
The butler on stage No. 2 read loudly: "Please come on stage to No. 2 and No. 38."
… …
Soon, twenty warriors boarded the ring one after another. Some walked up directly, some flew up using coquettish movements, some jumped up directly, and some even somersaulted. Seeing this scene with all kinds of tricks, Song Yan felt that Not in vain.
Soon, the people on the ten arenas began to fight, but Song Yan discovered an interesting scene. The ten pairs of warriors on the arena were all of high and low levels of cultivation. In other words, the Zhu family wanted to use this method to All those with low cultivation levels will be eliminated.
Because there is a gap in realm between the two sides, it is basically a matter of three or five moves. Therefore, it does not take more than two minutes to decide the winner in ten arenas.
The ten winners returned to their seats, while the ten losers were not eligible to sit down again. However, the Zhu family arranged for servants to give fifty taels of silver to each loser, which made the depressed losers feel unbalanced. few.
The second knockout round is still going on. This time it is not Song Yan's turn, but Li Muyang is on the court.
His opponent was a late acquired warrior.
Innate first level VS acquired later level.
Is there any suspense? Not at all. However, Li Muyang was a kind person and it took him five moves to defeat his opponent, which was considered a saving grace for the opponent.
In the third game, it was finally Song Yan's turn.
His competition venue is in the third arena, and his opponent is still an acquired talent.
He didn't save face for the other party and ended the fight with one palm.
In the end, the first round of eliminations ended in only half an hour, almost eliminating most of the later players.
Then, continue to the second round of elimination.
In this round, Song Yan's opponent was an acquired perfection. He deliberately pretended to fight hard, but in the end he defeated his opponent.
There were only one hundred and eighty people in this round of competition, but it lasted for more than an hour, and those eliminated in this round were compensated by the Zhu family with a hundred taels of silver.
After a half-hour break, the third round of knockout rounds began again.
This round lasted for two and a half hours. Song Yan also defeated his opponent with difficulty and won. So far, only forty-five of the three hundred and sixty people are left.
Therefore, one person will have a bye in the next round.
The identification number plates representing forty-five people were thrown into a wooden box and Mr. Zhu personally drew them.
"Number 320 is a bye!" Mr. Zhu grabbed an identification number plate from the wooden box and read loudly.
Hearing this, Song Yan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to him. He really had no interest in this kind of competition, and it was okay to have a bye.
"Congratulations, Brother Song." Li Muyang smiled and congratulated him.
"What's the joy? It's not like I'm bringing a beauty home!" Song Yan said disapprovingly.
"That's right." Li Muyang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The fourth knockout round begins again.
In the end, twenty-two more people left sadly. Of course, they received a gift of two hundred taels of silver from the Zhu family.
There are twenty-three people left, so one person still needs a bye in this round.
Song Yan felt that he should buy a lottery ticket, because he won again this time. Suddenly, he found that many strange eyes fell on him.
Just one bye, but two consecutive byes.
However, although everyone was unhappy with Song Yan, no one raised any objections. After all, Mr. Zhu drew it himself.
Maybe Mr. Zhu is their future father-in-law, so why offend his future father-in-law for a trivial matter.
After this round of eliminations, there are only twelve people left. At the same time, today's competition has officially ended. These twelve people will personally accept the test of Miss Zhu tomorrow.
