Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 414 Martial Arts Conference
"Your Majesty! The Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, Zhao Wuji, requests to see you!"

Inside the Forbidden City, Emperor Xianfeng, who looked very much like Crow, was drinking tea in the Imperial Garden. When he heard the eunuch's report, he raised his hand to dismiss the palace maids serving him and ordered the eunuch to bring his men forward.

Soon, Zhao Wuji, dressed in an official robe, walked quickly to the front of the pavilion and knelt down on the ground ten meters away from the emperor!
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The little emperor raised his hand casually: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji stood up, but his head was still lowered, appearing very submissive and respectful.

This is completely different from the defiant attitude he showed in front of Xu Wang Xiaolong.

He is an ambitious man who is very good at disguising himself.

Even the emperor in the pavilion did not expect that the Left Censor-in-Chief, whom he had promoted, had already harbored rebellious intentions towards him.

"Lord Zhao, don't be so polite. Come up and sit down. I am very satisfied with the gift you brought me the other day."

The little emperor smiled, raised his hand and beckoned Zhao Wuji to come forward and sit with him in the pavilion.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking a seat.

Zhao Wuji bowed deeply again.

Then he walked into the hall, sat respectfully opposite Xianfeng, and said with his head down: "As long as the emperor likes it, my people have been selecting beauties all over the country. This matter is kept secret and no one knows."

The little emperor now looked even more satisfied with Zhao Wuji.

It is well known that this emperor is lustful.

The number of concubines in the harem far exceeded the norm. He even ignored opposition many times, broke the ancestral system, favored Han beauties, was obsessed with widows, and was jealous of his brother Prince Gong.

Zhao Wuji understood this point, and he catered to the needs of the people, and he also had strong abilities, which is why he was promoted so quickly.

Zao Wou-Ki is also a talented person.

Not only collecting real beauties for the emperor.

He even used his magic to create all kinds of beauties for the little emperor to see.

The little emperor almost became addicted to 2D girls.

With such indulgence, it is no wonder that he died early in the future.

But today the little emperor did not dwell on the topic of women for too long.

This time, Zhao Wuji was summoned for an important matter.

Seeing Zhao Wuji sitting down, the little emperor leaned forward with one hand on the stone table and asked, "How are you preparing for the martial arts conference?"

Zhao Wuji immediately lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. The chivalrous mentor who was just sent from the dungeon has been destroyed by me. They have no chance of winning the championship.

Next, as long as I represent the official government to participate in the martial arts conference and become the leader of the martial arts world, I can gather a large number of powerful new forces for the court!

As long as we gather all these martial artists together and cooperate with your majesty's iron army, all the invading enemies will not be a problem!"

"it is good!"

The little emperor slapped the stone table and stood up excitedly!
He raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Wuji, his face full of joy: "Zhao Wuji, you must become the leader of the martial arts world and recruit those warriors for me! After the task is completed, I will reward you handsomely!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji pretended to be overjoyed.

He quickly stood up from his seat and knelt down to the little emperor: "I will definitely live up to your trust!"

"Hahaha! Great! With Lord Zhao here, there's nothing to worry about!"

The little emperor was very happy. He felt that he had the advantage and would have a bright future!
He had been troubled and envious of those martial artists for a long time.

Little did he know that Zhao Wuji, who was kneeling in front of him, had exactly the same idea as him.

Even bolder.

At the same time, outside the imperial city.

Xu Wang was playing there with Xiaolong carefreely.

Two of Zhao Wuji's men followed behind him.

Although Xu Wang and Xiaolong are relatively free as long as they do not leave the capital.

But it is impossible to have absolute freedom.

These two people were sent by Zhao Wuji to monitor him.

Xu Wang took a special look at it.

The pupils and eyes of these two officers and soldiers were dazed, and they looked completely listless.

Xu Wang guessed that they should all be controlled by Zhao Wuji.

The character Zao Wou-Ki is the villain in "The Legend of Drunken Master".

In the original movie, the strength he displayed was extremely powerful.

He has an innate aura that makes him invulnerable to swords and guns and has infinite power.

Especially his miraculous evil skills, which are somewhat out of the scope of martial arts.

Nowadays, Zhao Wuji seems to have mastered a martial art similar to the Star-Absorbing Art, and no one knows how many people's internal energy he has absorbed.

At this moment, its strength is estimated to be even stronger.

No wonder he is so arrogant and looks down on people.

After all, in Zhao Wuji's view, there is really no one in this world who can threaten him.

Not being able to become a native of the motherland directly is already a symbol of being more mature than the natives of the motherland.

It’s a pity that this person’s abilities are not what Xu Wang really wants.

If he didn't want to see what the martial arts conference was like, he would have wanted to travel through time and space and leave.

Soon, Xu Wang and Xiaolong had been hanging around in the capital for three months.

During these three months, the news that the capital would hold a new martial arts conference had spread throughout the country.

This was the first time that the imperial court held such a conference.

Given the relationship between the local martial arts forces and the imperial court, generally speaking, they would not pay attention to this martial arts conference.

After all, no one wants to become a lackey of the imperial court.

It would be embarrassing to tell others about it.

But Zao Wou-Ki had anticipated this.

He had started preparing for this day several years ago.

In the imperial court, he was the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate.

In the martial arts world, he is the leader of the Tianli Sect.

Over the years, he had used his evil magic to secretly control important figures in the martial arts world and the imperial court.

Anyone who disobeyed was secretly assassinated by him.

It can be said that the current Zhao Wuji has already controlled most of the country.

As long as this martial arts conference succeeds.

He could use his prestige and the banner of anti-Qing to kill the dog emperor, seize the country, and become emperor himself!
Yes, the logic of the martial arts world is so simple and crude.

have to say.

It was also because of Zhao Wuji's interference that the scale of this martial arts conference was far larger than ever before.

It not only attracted a large number of people from the martial arts world to watch, but also attracted the people and officials of the capital.

Fortunately, the venue was arranged in an open space outside the capital.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough space for so many people.

Today is the day when the martial arts conference begins.

Xu Wang and Xiaolong were escorted out of the capital by a group of soldiers early in the morning.

This is the venue that was built a few months ago.

Xu Wang looks very much like a sports field, and it is completely open-air.

There are audience seats all around.

The auditorium on the other side is obviously taller and more luxurious.

I guess that's the emperor's exclusive seat.

This reminded Xu Wang of the Colosseum in Rome. The emperors and nobles at that time loved to watch slaves fighting.

At this time, the martial arts conference had not yet begun, and audiences and heroes from all walks of life were still entering the gate one after another.

After Zhao Wuji's officers and soldiers sent Xu Wang and the others away, they no longer cared about them.

Xu Wang raised his hand and patted Xiaolong's head, smiling and said, "Don't worry, after the conference is over, I will take you to level up, and then teach you all the martial arts I know.

It will definitely help you regain your strength and become stronger than before."

Xiaolong didn't really care about his inner strength being sucked away by Zhao Wuji. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at Xu Wang, curiously asking, "Are you planning to leave?"

Xu Wang nodded: "I've been here for quite a long time, I'm a little tired of playing."

Hearing this, Xiaolong scratched his head and said with a smile: "Haha, then I will also retire from the world."

Xu Wang was surprised: "You are so young, and you want to retire from society?"

Xiaolong didn't say anything.

At this time, Xu Wang happened to see a group of familiar figures appearing at the gate of the venue, and immediately smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect them to come to the martial arts conference as well. It's just right. You can follow them from now on, so that you can take care of them."

As he spoke, Xu Wang took Xiaolong and walked towards the gate.

They met Jin Xiangyu and his group.

Even Dingan and Xiao Heitou are here.

"Xu Wang! You're not dead?!"

Seeing Xu Wang was somewhat surprised, Jin Xiangyu rushed over and stretched out her hand to Xu Wang: "Take the money! It's my 80,000 taels, don't think of refusing to pay!"

Xu Wang rolled his eyes. Seeing the boss lady’s big reaction, he thought she was worried about him, but it turned out that she was worried about money.

While taking out the money and handing it to Jin Xiangyu, Xu Wang passed by her and looked at Ding'an behind him: "Ding'an, why are you here?"

Ding'an smiled at Xu Wang and said, "I chased Feilong to Longmen Inn to avenge my father, and happened to meet the innkeeper who was about to move out.

I heard them mention your name, so I asked them about you.

Since everyone knows me, I also plan to retire from society, so the shopkeeper invited me to go with them.”

Diao Buyu beside him also explained: "The shopkeeper said that he came to the capital to see the world first. It just so happened that there was a martial arts conference, and since I was here, I came to take a look. I didn't expect you to be here too."

After hearing this, Xu Wang nodded in understanding: "So that's how it is."

Jin Xiangyu happily collected the money, came to Xu Wang, and patted him on the shoulder: "Are you going to participate in the martial arts conference too?"

See Xu Wang nodded.

She added, "Don't say we're not good friends. The market is open over there. I'll go buy 100 taels and bet on you to win."

Xu Wang curled his lips when he heard this: "You look down on me too much! It's only a hundred taels, didn't I give you a hundred thousand taels?
Hey! Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance to make money! I’ll play myself this time, I’ll definitely win!”

"What? Do you have any inside information?"

While they were talking, an old man with a festive look, also wearing an official uniform, came over with a smile.

He held the booklet in one hand and the brush in the other, and said with a smile, "I have been following this tournament for a long time! I can tell who are the seeded players and who are the losers at a glance!"

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Xu Wang again, and looked him up and down: "I know you, Xu Wang, right? I am Duolong. It seems that you are the only knight mentor participating in this martial arts conference. Anyone who can participate in the martial arts conference must have received the martial arts seal at least five times.

Generally speaking, they will be the seeds for winning the championship.

But this time, Mr. Zao Wou-Ki will also be participating, so I bet on you to win the runner-up. Work hard."

It can be seen that Lord Duolong really put in a lot of effort.

The list of people attending the conference is very clear.

It’s a pity that the information is a bit behind schedule.

Xu Wang bowed and said, "Thank you very much. We will definitely work hard."

Duolong also seemed quite enthusiastic and cheerful. He smiled at Xu Wang, and when he saw Lei Bao coming in, he laughed and greeted him: "Hey! Leopard Head! You are finally back to Beijing! Come on, come on, you know martial arts, let's discuss who will win."

Lei Bao is lucky.

He was recently transferred back to the capital to be in charge of the security of this martial arts conference.

Although he was not reinstated, Lei Bao was already very satisfied.

As long as he can come back, with his connections in Beijing, he will be able to climb back sooner or later.

Soon, everyone who was supposed to come had arrived.

Contestants like Xu Wang were also arranged to wait at the stadium.

He turned his head and looked around, and found many familiar faces.

It's really a bit creepy.

Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu, the Deadly Scholar, Baiyun City Lord Ye Gucheng, the romantic blind knight Hua Manlou, Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows, and the cold-as-ice and snow-as-frosty swordsman Ximen Chuixue.

Let’s not talk about the first two.

The four people behind.

They are all old, fat uncles.

Wearing a dog-skin plaster, bald head, blind man, and face full of freckles.

There is really no one to watch.

Seeing Xu Wang staring at him.

The Mediterranean-looking Ximen Chuixue turned around and stroked the few remaining hairs on his head in dissatisfaction: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen such a handsome guy?!"

Xu Wang quickly clasped his hands together and said, "Junior Xu Wang, I saw that you are all so handsome and elegant, and I couldn't help but look at you a few more times. Please forgive me."

Ye Gucheng, who was wearing a dog-skin plaster, laughed loudly: "Hahaha! It's normal for young people to admire us, the famous heroes of the martial arts world."

Lu Xiaofeng also looked at Xu Wang and stroked his beard with satisfaction: "Good boy, I will remember you. If we meet on the field, I will show mercy to you."

Hua Manlou pointed his butt at Xu Wang and smiled proudly: "It's rare to find polite juniors nowadays. We must have a drink after the game and not stop until we're drunk."

"You see it the other way around. The young man is over here."

Lu Xiaofeng was a very kind person and he changed the direction of the blind Hua Manlou.

"Hahahahaha!"

While Xu Wang was communicating with the four seniors, Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu beside him suddenly laughed out loud: "It is said that there are many talented people in the Central Plains martial arts world, but in my opinion, they are not that great!

I traveled to Japan and learned a unique set of karate. Now I am the senior brother of Duan Shuiliu.

If you ask me, you'd better surrender now.

Otherwise, I will be beaten up even if I go on stage, even though I am old. "

"Hey! What do you mean? You little bastard! You don't know your place!"

The blind hero Hua Manlou pointed at Xu Wang and cursed.

"Old man, you pointed at the wrong person."

Xu Wang hurried forward, pointed the blind hero's finger towards the eldest senior brother, and kindly put down his index finger and pulled out his middle finger.

Gave a big middle finger to the eldest brother.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu still smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not just targeting these four old men. I'm saying that everyone here is garbage!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around who was participating in the martial arts conference was ridiculed!

For a moment, dozens of people were excited and pointed at the eldest brother and cursed him!

Xu Wang took a few steps back and came to Zhao Wuji, who was also participating in the competition with a sullen face. "Wow, look, he is so arrogant! You must teach him a lesson!"

Zhao Wuji glanced at Xu Wang and said, "Take care of yourself."

After saying that, he walked directly to the referee of the conference.

Soon, the preparation stage was over.

The martial arts conference has begun.

Everyone draws lots to decide their opponents.

In order to quickly eliminate most people.

In the first few rounds, everyone played together in the venue.

Xu Wang was lucky, as the one he drew was just an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
