Chapter 2545: Atonement for Sins 8.0
As expected, after seeing General Eagle Leopard's offer and stimulated by Shen Cha's 1,200 taels of gold, too many people wanted to join this sudden competition, so many that it far exceeded the expectations of Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and others.

After unanimous discussion, everyone decided that since everyone's enthusiasm was so high, they didn't want to be the one to spoil the fun. In addition, they were about to escort Wanyan Xi back to the Jin Kingdom, which was another tough battle that had to be fought. This was a good opportunity to test everyone's level.

So, the popular boxing match was proposed.

Since it is a ring match, everyone must participate. Everyone can sign up according to their own wishes. Those who want to fight can fight, and those who don't want to fight can just watch from the side. There is no force at all. In addition, there is another point, that is, there is no limit on the rank of the people who enter the ring. No matter whether they are generals, colonels or ordinary soldiers, they can challenge at any time.

But since it is a competition arena, there must be rules. There are a total of seven initial competition arenas for this competition. The first two people to go on stage, the winner becomes the champion of the arena, and every subsequent person who goes on stage must fight against the champion and challenge the champion until the champion is defeated. The person who defeats the champion becomes the new champion, and the person who loses to the champion loses the qualification to continue challenging.

Finally, the seven champions remaining in the final arena will fight in a round-robin battle, and the one with the most wins will become the final winner of the competition.

"What do you think about this? Or any suggestions?"

"This competition system." Xia Chen looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Xue Ruitian, Bai Meng and Ying Bao who had formulated this rule, sighed softly, and said, "It's a bit complicated, and it definitely can't be finished in one day, it will definitely take many days. The most important thing is that you guys will definitely not be on stage on the first day, at least not in the first half of the competition, right?"

They had left the small parade ground and returned to the central army tent. They sat together and discussed how this competition should proceed.

"It can't be complicated. Judging from today's situation, there shouldn't be too few people who want to participate in this competition. Therefore, in order to meet everyone's needs, the rules must be formulated more carefully. Besides, we can't favor one over the other and let this one compete but not the other, right? So, there is no other way. If everyone can participate, everyone will be happy, and we will be happy too, right?" Hongye spread her hands, looked at Xia Chen, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "Since the prince is so interested, do you want to try it too?"

"Forget it, my king. Xiaocha is right. My kung fu is only good enough to protect myself. I won't go up and embarrass myself." Xia Chen waved his hand, sighed softly, and said, "Go on, I want to hear what other rules there are."

"Okay, Your Majesty, please allow me to report." Hongye looked at Xia Chen and smiled, saying, "The rules are as follows. The competition will start after breakfast tomorrow and last for seven days. The seven champions will be decided on the last day, and the round-robin competition will be held on the eighth day."

"Wagon war?"

"Yes, Lord County, each champion must compete with the other six champions. There will be six matches in total, and no one match can be missed." Hongye smiled and looked at Xia Chen, "What Lord County said just now is right. The Duke, the Marquis, and Xiaocha will definitely not go on stage at the beginning. The first six days are all for the soldiers to compete, and we are watching. If we want to participate, we should go on stage on the sixth day."

"Just watching?" Xia Chen thought for a while, "Do you want to pick out the best talents?" "That's true. There was nothing special in the previous military drills, but this time we can see their individual levels." Hongye nodded, "Especially now that our camp has three camps, the soldiers of the Shen family army, the soldiers brought by General Yingbao, and the commander-in-chief's imperial guards. Although they all belong to Daxia, we know very well that they usually compare with each other in their hearts and want a chance to see who can win. In this case, we will give them this opportunity. Let's see what their abilities are on the ring."

"General Hongye is right." General Yingbao nodded. "Normally, no one is willing to give in to the other. Everyone thinks they are better than the other. This is a good opportunity for us to show our abilities and stop competing secretly. But there is one thing." He looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and then at Bai Meng. "What about Wanyan Xi? He will probably have to go up to the ring as well."

"If he wants to go, let him go." Bai Meng touched his chin and exchanged glances with Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. "He is a thoughtful person. He looks like an honest man now, but he is not a grateful person in his bones. Instead, he is a very petty person. After he ascends to the throne of King Jin, he will probably bite us hard when he recovers." He sighed softly. "Not only we feel this, but Xiao Fengqi, Qi Zhifeng, and the two Yelu masters are also aware of it. So, why not take this opportunity to give him a warning, let him gain some experience and open his eyes, or to be more precise, let him suffer a little bit of physical pain."

"Physical pain? To what extent?"

"It's just that when he wants to attack us in the future, he will feel uncomfortable and painful all over his body." Bai Meng chuckled, "This way he will be careful about what he says and does, causing less trouble for us and himself."

"This is the best way." Xia Chen sighed softly and said, "However, you can keep him for two more rounds, and don't let him come down from the ring so quickly. It will be more effective in hitting him by first praising him and then suppressing him. Moreover, if he can see that the person who lost to him is not really worse than him, but is being humble to him because he is a guest, what do you think?"

"He kills people and destroys their hearts. This old man is really evil!" Xue Ruitian curled his lips and said, "But he thinks the same as us."

"Haha, he can think the same as me, so he is not a good person?" Xia Chen made a face at Xue Ruitian, "Isn't he as bad as an old man like me? However, to deal with people like him, this is the method to use, isn't it?"

"That's right." Shen Cha nodded. "It's settled. If you have no objection to this rule, we will announce it to the entire Shen Family Army, including the Eagle King Army and the Grand Commander's Imperial Guard. The registration deadline is before dinner. How about that?"

"no disagreement."

The new rules of the competition were approved by everyone and soon announced to the entire Shen family army. Everyone was very excited and rushed to the registration place to sign up. Everyone knew that if they could stay until the end and catch the eyes of the dukes, marquises, generals, and commanders, especially the general who came with the commander-in-chief, it would be even better if they could get his attention.

Soon, the registration list was handed to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, and not surprisingly, Wanyan Xi's name appeared on it.
