Chapter 2020 178. Spiritual Beast Arena (The dark inside story of the official competition)

Three days later, it is truly the golden autumn season, and it is also the official launch day for the Spirit Beast Arena Autumn Quarterly Competition - the final final of the Spirit Beast King.

On this day, the wind was gentle, the sky was clear, the sky was clear, and the autumn colors were pleasant.

Under the overall arrangement of Lord Fusheng, the competitions in the Spirit Beast Arena and Water Court were held simultaneously.

During the early warm-up period, many officials came to the water court and were attracted by the spectacular scene in front of them. Officials distributed in different arenas began to experience the excitement of the game while building relationships with each other through the game.

Lord Fusheng gathered these high-ranking officials and nobles together, under the guise of fighting beasts, but in fact he was building bridges for many officials in need. Through such competitions, he could gain the relationships he wanted.

Naturally, there are not a few officials who participate in spirit beast arena competitions for this purpose.

The people of the Quan clan are all talented people, and each one is better than the other. Every time they do something, they have to calculate the gains and losses. They naturally have a small abacus to decide which deal is the most cost-effective.

Lord Fusheng has a list in his hand, and this list has a lot of history. Some officials bribed Lord Fusheng to choose the opponents they want to play against.

The opponents chosen by senior officials are all opponents who need to be suppressed in terms of political stance. Through this spirit beast competition, they can torture the opponent;
  The opponent chosen by a small official is an official he wants to please. He deliberately loses to the opponent on the court so that the opponent will remember his existence and make a good impression. This is also to build a good impression on the powerful in the future.

Lord Fusheng will coordinate the relationship with everyone according to everyone's wishes, with a lot of money from each official, and try his best to satisfy everyone. When he encounters a problem, it will be based on who pays more, and then he will be admitted on the basis of merit.

There are hidden mysteries in the roster of a knockout round. You can imagine how much moisture there is in this game.

Lord Fusheng weighed the pros and cons, and through various arrangements, sent several high-ranking officials in the court and those who paid heavily to bribe them all the way to the top eight.

Ji Wuchang, Jin Rui and Duan Balang all acted in accordance with the sanctions rules, and there was no partiality. However, once this arrangement was made, there was a huge gap in level and ability. What's more, some officials were clearly superior to others in ability. , but deliberately let go, clearly to let the other party——

For example, Zhao Yide, the magistrate of Huixian County, is a capable man, but his family is poor and his status is humble. However, his spirit beast is quite impressive. It is more than one foot tall. This beast looks like an ordinary deer but has It has a white tail, horse-like hooves, human-like hands, and four horns. It can soar into the clouds and mist, make a horse soar, and its four horns can respectively control the wind and rain, and smoke and fire to spread the sky. This spiritual beast has extremely strong attack power and is priceless. .

His opponent was Shangguan Baisheng, the third son of the wealthy Lord Yangcheng, and his spirit beast was the unspectacular Shusi. It is a kind of bird, shaped like a hawk but with human-like legs. This kind of spiritual beast is not a fighting spirit beast, but a healing spirit beast. It is full of treasures, and its feathers can drive away evil spirits. The insect wards off evil spirits, its saliva can cure colds and colds, its nails can cure skin necrosis, and its flesh can cure neoplasms on people's necks - such a spiritual beast is a legendary sacred object in the medical world. It exists, but it seems a bit unsatisfactory on the martial arts fighting field. Without saying anything, he just stood on the battlefield. Xunru next to Zhao Yide and Shusi on Shangguan Baisheng's shoulder compared each other. One was tall and strong, one was weak and delicate, one was menacing, and the other was submissive. There was no need to compare the results of the game. It's clear at a glance.

How could Zhao Yide, a mediocre little county magistrate, and He De be able to obtain such a powerful spiritual beast? It was also due to the good deeds and good deeds of his ancestors and luck——

His ancestors have always guarded Huixian County and have been the county magistrates of Huixian County for generations. The Zhao family has not produced officials for generations, but none of them are high officials. The same is true for Zhao Yide's generation. He passed the imperial examination , seeing that his father was approaching the age of retirement, Shangguan Marquis assigned Zhao Yide to his hometown with a stroke of his pen, allowing him to directly take over his father's position as the magistrate of Huixian County.

Huixian is the border between Dongcang and Nanxiang. Many criminals smuggle spiritual beasts. The only way to pass by land is through Huixian. During an operation to eradicate smuggling, Zhao Yide made a great contribution and captured hundreds of spiritual beasts at once. Long Yan was so happy that he asked Zhao Yide to choose a spiritual beast as a reward. He took a fancy to this Xunru at a glance. Miraculously, Xinru also saw Zhao Yide in the right eye. This beast caught his eye at a glance among hundreds of spiritual beasts. After winning the match, the relationship between master and servant was forged.

This is good luck. After getting this mythical beast, Zhao Yide's ambition grew. He felt that he could not always be content with his ancestors and guard this piece of Hui County. His dream of an official career was still very lofty, and he could not stay in this place all his life. He had wasted his time on this small place, and his ambition began to sprout slowly after he got this Xinru.

In order to get a chance to be appreciated, I heard rumors that as long as I could participate in the competition in this spirit beast arena, I would be able to get recognition from the superiors, and I might be able to rise to great heights, and my official career would skyrocket.

In order to gain access to imperial power, he decided to take a chance. He spent his life savings and sold some of his ancestors' belongings, and went to the battlefield with the determination that he would never return home if he did not gain access to imperial power——

Let’s talk about Shangguan Baisheng again. He is actually one of the many dandy brothers. He is similar to most of the powerful relatives. He has no ambitions and no ideas. He just wants to live the rest of his life peacefully. , he can just eat, drink and have fun, which can be seen from the type of spirit beast he chooses.

As a member of the royal family, you have the right to choose the spirit beast, especially the children of the Shangguan family, and what about him? But he chose a pet type of spirit beast. It's not that he has no future, but the choice of this spirit beast is enough to show his attitude towards the imperial power.

Although Shangguan Baisheng is a man with no ambitions, his father will not allow his son to be such a person. He hates iron for not being able to become steel. In order to help this mud up the wall, Lord Chengyang decided to build it here. Let your son shine in the beast fighting game!

In order to win the favor, Lord Yangcheng spent a lot of money to bribe Lord Fusheng, bought an excellent pit for his son, and instructed Lord Fusheng to send his son to the Holy Emperor. , It doesn’t matter whether the results of the competition are good or bad, as long as we can get His Majesty’s favor, the money will be well spent.

Lord Fusheng naturally did not dare to neglect the nobleman, so he put down his words. Do you want to attach yourself to Lord Chengyang, the biggest salt official in the capital? If so, spending some money can get you what you want.

As soon as Zhao Yide heard about this good thing, he spent all his money to find Jiang Ren and revealed his purpose. Jiang Ren made a plan in his mind and agreed to the other party's request...
