Puppet emperor?Summon three thousand Xuanjia troops at the beginning

Chapter 705: Martial Arts Competition
There is no shortage of ambitious people in this arena.

In other words, if they had no ambition, they would not appear here. Since they appear here, it means that they must have their own purpose.

The simplest purpose is naturally to hope to make one's own strength enter the vision of various dynasties.

At the same time, they also hope that because of their existence, other dynasties around them will look up to their dynasty.

However, now that a strong man from the upper country has appeared here, the nature of this matter may have changed again.

Because although the original dynasties also had such ideas, they posed no threat to the Great Qian Kingdom. After all, they were just some small vassal states.

But the existence of Shangguo is different. Shangguo is a direct competitor to Daqian Shangguo.

Even though the current Great Qian Kingdom is very powerful, in their opinion most of the other countries do not pose much of a threat to it. However, now that someone has stepped forward and hopes to become famous in this arena, it means that this is a direct provocation to the Great Qian Kingdom.

After hearing this person stand up, Zhou Yuan's expression did not change at all. After all, it was just a small bullying of a national scholar. To him, it was nothing.

He looked around.

There are quite a few people around, and each of them has different strengths.

All of these are powerful people from their Great Qian Kingdom.

However, the identities of these people are also different. Some are powerful people who surrendered after the Great Qian Kingdom conquered other dynasties, and some were summoned by Zhou Yuan.

Among these powerful men who were summoned, there are also many who are at the seventh rank of national warriors.

They were all eager to try. After all, for them, this was indeed an opportunity to make a name for themselves. However, before anyone else could react, a seventh-rank scholar stood up and said:
"Holy Lord, I am willing to go and fight!"

The seventh-rank official who was speaking once belonged to the Da Rong Dynasty.

However, he was just an ordinary seventh-rank national scholar at the beginning. Later, because of the powerful strength of the Daqian Kingdom, he gradually defeated the Darong Kingdom.

Under such circumstances, many powerful people directly chose to surrender to the Great Qian Kingdom.

After all, at that time, Da Rong had already lost the ability to directly rule all parties. Under such circumstances, it would be meaningless even if it tried to hold on. Except for a very small number of people who chose to fight to the death, most people chose to surrender to the Da Qian Kingdom.

No one likes death.

Since the people who pledged their loyalty have disappeared, surrender is naturally a good option for them.

And the seventh-rank national scholar in front of him surrendered in this way.

But after hearing him stand up, the man's expression did not change at all, he just said:
"In that case, then go and give it a try."

This person's strength should be considered good among the seventh-rank national scholars, but this is only overall. For their Daqian Kingdom, the strength here is a little worse. After all, this person had just broken through to the seventh rank when he surrendered.

And it is also because of the accumulation of large amounts of resources.

Without those resources, it would be impossible for him to break through to the seventh rank in a short period of time, and he might not even have the possibility of becoming a seventh rank national scholar in this lifetime.

This is the horror of a dynasty’s resources.

Because of the attack from the dynasty's resources, these strong men who originally had no chance to break through to the upper level now have the possibility of breaking through.

But their foundation is still a little bit worse, so even if they break through, their strength is only the worst among the strong people of the same level, not to mention that he himself is much worse, but after joining the Great Qian Kingdom, this person can be regarded as diligent and studious.

There are many powerful people in the country of Daqian. When he asked for advice, no one hid anything big from him. As long as it did not involve their own secrets, the generals of Daqian did not care about telling others some of the martial arts information they knew.

The reason is very simple. Since this does not involve one's core business, what's the harm in giving the branch church to other people?

If they don't even have this little bit of confidence, they would never have become famous generals of China.

So under such circumstances, his strength has quickly broken through to the present day. Even among the seventh-rank national scholars, he can be considered good.

With Zhou Yuan's vision, he could clearly see that the strange man who had just jumped out did have good strength, otherwise he would not dare to be the first to stand out, but that was all.

This person was born in just a very weak superior country. Although it was a superior country, the establishment time of this dynasty was not much longer than that of the Daqian superior country.

In their dynasty, there were not many even ninth-rank national scholars.

Not to mention the existence above the ninth rank.

If there were no semi-saint guarding it, this dynasty would probably be destroyed within a few years.

Therefore, they have no concrete understanding of the strength of the strong.

Perhaps in the eyes of that seventh-rank state scholar himself, he felt that even among the surrounding dynasties, he was definitely the best.

But in the eyes of some powerful people from other dynasties, this man is nothing more than a clown who seeks to attract attention.

Since someone on his side is willing to go up and fight the other side, he naturally doesn't mind helping them.

So what if we lose the battle?

If he was afraid of losing, he would not have held this great competition.

Although the essence of this competition is to select the candidates who will go to the Holy Kingdom of Donglin with him, it also hopes to allow many generals of the Great Qian Kingdom to demonstrate their strength here.

At the same time, it can also allow him to understand the strength of other dynasties around him. After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

This is also an extremely important thing for him.

Finally, the seventh-rank national scholar jumped to the center of the arena.

Seeing the seventh-rank scholar from the Daqian Kingdom jump out, the expression of that seventh-rank scholar became a little more solemn.

Of course he knew that anyone who could represent the Great Qian Kingdom was definitely not a weakling.

So he was prepared for a fierce battle from the very beginning, and might even be prepared for defeat.

But even so, he didn't think there would be much of a gap in his strength when facing the person in front of him.

After all, although he was a seventh-rank national scholar, at least among the seventh-rank national scholars, he was already one of the best in their dynasty.

The other dynasties around were also watching the competition between the two with burning eyes.

This is a good opportunity for them to learn about the Great Qian Kingdom.

Through the battle between the two, we can understand the specific strength of the Daqian Kingdom and how to make them understand how powerful and terrifying the Daqian Kingdom’s guns are.

Soon, the two sides collided with each other.

Almost at the moment of the collision, both sides had already unleashed their strongest strength, with no intention of holding back at all, because they both knew very well that their opponent was definitely not a weakling.

The collision between the two seventh-rank national warriors looked extremely exciting and magnificent. Not only were their strengths similar, but the gap in skills was also not that big. This battle could be described as a fight between dragons and tigers.

Seeing this scene, many envoys from vassal states were horrified. Is this the power of the seventh rank of the upper state?
Some powerful vassal states actually also have seventh-rank national scholars.

Not to mention the seventh-rank national scholars, some powerful dynasties even had ninth-rank national scholars.

It’s just that because there are no semi-saints, they can only serve as vassal states and submit to one side.

Even with their strength, even the superior countries dare not offend them easily.

But the lack of semi-saints is the biggest problem in this world.

Even in such a dynasty, after seeing the fight between the two, their eyes were filled with fear.

The gap is really too big.

These two people are not only strong, but also can almost crush the seventh-rank state scholars in their own dynasty in terms of skills.

So they could immediately see that this was the difference in foundation between the two sides, not a matter of personal talent.

But for those superior countries, it is a different feeling.

"Are the people of Daqian Kingdom so bad?"

An envoy from a superior country murmured to himself.

His own dynasty was already a powerful one.

Although it has no border with the Great Qian Kingdom, the number of powerful people it has is definitely not small.

Therefore, as an envoy of this dynasty, he himself has seen many powerful people, and he has also witnessed many seventh-rank national scholars.

The strength of the two men fighting in front of them could indeed be considered good, but just good. However, with such strength, it would be almost impossible for them to overthrow their own dynasty.

But now, the Daqian Kingdom, which they thought was extremely powerful, was actually fighting back and forth with the strong men of such a weak dynasty.

For a moment, they even had some illusions that the Great Qian Kingdom was not as powerful as they imagined, and it was just because of rumors that they had a filter in their minds about the Great Qian Kingdom.

Many dynasties thought so in their hearts.

Only some of the superior countries that have actually had contact with the Great Qian Kingdom did not have such thoughts in their minds.

Because they knew very well that although the seventh-rank national scholar in front of them was indeed a seventh-rank official, for the intelligence of their respective dynasties, this seventh-rank national scholar was nothing at all.

It can even be said that this seventh-rank national scholar was not originally from the Great Qian Kingdom, but only joined the Great Qian Kingdom because of surrender.

How could such a strong man be called the core strongman of the Daqian Kingdom?

Only those monsters discovered personally by the Lord of Daqian Kingdom are the peak power of Daqian Kingdom.

The strength they possess is among the best in every realm.

The battle between the two lasted for a long time, and in the end, the seventh-rank soldier from the Daqian Kingdom won the final victory breathlessly.

However, after he won this battle, he did not have enough strength to continue fighting, so he bowed to everyone and turned to leave the arena.

His purpose has been achieved.

Although he did not have a satisfying fight in this battle, he did not fail anyway. Moreover, this was also a good combing of his own martial arts.

But when he returned to No. 5, his face still looked a little guilty.

"minister……

I am ashamed of you."

He spoke.

In the Great Qian Kingdom, there are quite a few seventh-rank national warriors. He originally thought that he would be able to defeat a few more people after going up, but he didn't expect that after defeating just one person, he was already exhausted and had no ability to fight anymore.

Of course, he knew that this battle involved the reputation of both dynasties, and now his performance was obviously somewhat embarrassing for the Great Qian Kingdom.

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said:
"We have already won this battle, so naturally we can't bring those up.

What's more, victory and defeat are common in the military, and no one can win all the time. Now that you have won a game, you should go down and take a rest."

After the battle, without waiting for the Daqian Kingdom to send out personnel, a seventh-rank scholar from another kingdom soon stepped forward.

However, he did not directly provoke the Daqian Kingdom, but looked around.

He thought that he was stronger than the man just now, so he dared to stand up. If not, he would not have stood up at this time.

"Everyone, who is willing to fight with me?"

His voice was powerful, and his aura was filled with extreme confidence.

Soon, a seventh-rank national scholar also stood up. This person was not from a superior country, but was a seventh-rank official from a powerful vassal state.

After a fierce battle, the seventh-rank scholar from the upper country finally won.

But even so, everyone still looked up to the seventh-rank national scholar from the vassal state.

After all, the strength shown by the other party is actually not bad.

It’s just that the opponent he faced was too strong. If it were a different opponent, perhaps he would have been able to win the final battle earlier.

But soon that man was also defeated.

One after another, seventh-rank national heroes took turns to go into battle, and each dynasty tacitly refrained from sending out strong men above the seventh rank.

Among them, the gap between the seventh-rank national scholars is also huge.

Not long after, a man stood proudly on the stage, but no seventh-rank national warrior dared to come up and fight him.

"Everyone, is there anyone who dares to fight me?"

His expression was indifferent.

Although he faced many opponents, his condition was still very good.

Because in his opinion, the opponents in front of him were not strong enough for him at all.

Today, he is destined to steal the spotlight!
