The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 496 Chengshan Martial Arts Association
When Richard heard Kong Xiong's voice, he realized that the day to participate in the martial arts competition had arrived.

Chengshan Martial Arts Competition is one of the traditions of the Chengshan City sects. It is held every hundred years. It aims to exchange and learn martial arts between the major sects.

In other words, it's a muscle-flexing activity.

At the same time, Chengshan Martial Arts Association is also a recruitment meeting.

Chengshan City is a large city with a long history. For the residents in the city, sects are not a rare thing.

By demonstrating the strength of one's own sect, one can establish the sect's ranking for the next hundred years, and then determine the level of the next disciples. This is also a function of the Chengshan Martial Arts Association.

Richard changed into ordinary training clothes and went straight out of the yard without taking any weapons or armor.

Kong Xiong naturally noticed Richard's actions, and he asked nervously, "Master, aren't you going to bring the Qingshan Armor and the Earthshaker?"

These two items are the sect's treasures of Banshanmen. The Qingshan Armor is invulnerable to swords and spears, and the Earth-Shaking Hammer is powerful, both of which are worth a lot of money.

Richard glanced at him, his tone calm and confident.

"unnecessary."

These days, he also looked at the strength of the sects in Chengshan City. Among them, there are thirteen sects with third-level creatures, and nine sects with multiple third-level creatures. And these nine sects happened to be the sects that fought against the Mountain Gate back then.

Although due to the invisible face, his strength was only 30% or 40%. With so much strength, it was more than enough to kill these leaders who were only level 3.

Seeing that his master was so confident, Kong Xiong could only temporarily suppress the uneasiness in his heart.

His master has always been right in his targeting, so he must have good reasons to be so confident.

It is possible that after these years of seclusion, his master has already gained some insight into the "Way of Heaven".

"Master is so powerful. I will prepare the wild beast and head to Chengshan Tower."

……

The Chengshan Martial Arts Competition is held in Chengshan Tower, which is located in the center of Chengshan City, the highest point in the entire Chengshan City.

The huge wooden high-rise building stands on the top of the mountain city of Chengshan. It is brightly lit on weekdays, like a lighthouse.

And now that it is the Chengshan Martial Arts Competition, it is even more brilliant.

All the famous figures in Chengshan City gathered in Chengshan Tower today, ready to take a look at the young talents and even the leaders of the major sects.

"Manager Qian, long time no see, long time no see."

In the lobby on the first floor of Chengshan Tower, a mad orc wearing a fur coat and with gold rings on his fangs greeted him.

In front of him, the wealthy and kind-hearted Qian immediately responded:
"Patriarch Liu, what a rare guest! It must have been thirteen years since we last met."

"Hahaha, Shopkeeper Qian, you have a good memory."

Just as he finished speaking, someone on the other side shouted, "Manager Qian, why is your waiter ignoring me? Aren't the people sitting in the lobby guests?"

When Shopkeeper Qian took a look, he saw a wild beastman in simple clothes and with scars all over his body, shouting impatiently.

He walked forward quickly, smiled and said: "Hey, if you say that, as long as you enter our Chengshan Building, you are a guest no matter if it is a private room or the lobby.

But we have so many guests today, and these guys are not warriors like you, so it is inevitable that they may miss something, so please bear with us."

After that, Shopkeeper Qian turned around and shouted, "Xiao Liu, come here quickly, you lazy guy, you neglected Hero Zheng, I think you want to be whipped!"

After dealing with this, Manager Qian returned to the center of the lobby and greeted the guests coming and going one by one.

It is the Chengshan Martial Arts Competition right now, and those who come and go are all well-known figures. If they get to know these figures, they may get more business in the future.

Soon, the number of guests in the lobby gradually decreased, and most of the guests who were supposed to come had arrived.

And the rest are the protagonists of this martial arts competition.

Shopkeeper Qian walked out of the lobby and flew into the air. He saw a flock of birds flying in the distance, and upon closer inspection, he saw dozens of human figures among the flock.

As the flock of birds got closer, they saw a group of wild beastmen wearing Qing robes and holding weapons standing on the birds.

Shopkeeper Qian shouted, "The Blue Bird Gate has arrived!"

A flock of birds from the Blue Bird Gate stopped in the sky above Chengshan Tower. The mad beastman on the back of a bird tiptoed and floated down.

The leader smiled and nodded at Shopkeeper Qian: "Shopkeeper Qian."

Shopkeeper Qian bowed and replied, "Master He remains as heroic as ever."

Behind the Bluebird Gate, a hearty laugh suddenly came from afar. The next moment, a huge winged tiger was seen running rapidly towards Chengshan Tower. On its back, dozens of wild beastmen wearing tiger skins and holding long sticks were staring at the people of the Bluebird Gate with a covetous look.

"He Zamao, where is your Nine Heavens Blue Luan? Why did you come out riding a bunch of broken birds that are not even wild beasts?"

The He Sect Leader looked at the shouting wild beastman and said calmly, "My Blue Bird Sect has not yet reached the point where we need to use wild beasts to show off our power."

"I think your bird was kidnapped by another bird, hahahaha."

The shouting mad orc laughed loudly, then jumped dozens of feet from the winged tiger and landed directly in front of Master He.

"Manager Qian, long time no see."

Sect Leader Qian bowed and immediately responded, "Feng Humen has arrived!"

Now that all the guests have arrived, the only ones left are naturally the protagonists of this martial arts competition - the 42 sects of Chengshan City.

Starting with the Blue Bird Sect and the Wind Tiger Sect, the forty-two sects began to enter the scene one after another. All kinds of strange and bizarre wild beasts almost turned the area outside the Chengshan Tower into a wild beast zoo.

Soon, all the forty-two sects that did not have a martial arts master in charge had gathered.

Shopkeeper Qian looked straight ahead and saw a flying boat several dozen feet long, flying through the sea of ​​clouds and descending from the sky. An invisible pressure descended from the flying boat, forcing the wild beasts outside Chengshan Tower to crouch down involuntarily. On the flying boat, a figure stood tall in the air and slowly walked into the ninth floor of Chengshan Tower, without any intention of greeting Shopkeeper Qian.

Shopkeeper Qian was not annoyed by this, and he responded without changing his expression under the pressure: "Here comes the Jiuxiao Gate!"

Jiuxiao Sect is one of the fourteen major sects in Chengshan City. Its leader Yun Jiuxiao was promoted to a martial arts master three hundred years ago, which directly elevated the Jiuxiao Sect, which was originally just an ordinary sect, to one of the major sects.

Soon after, those large sects with martial arts masters began to enter the scene one after another.

Shadow Moon Sect, Jiaolong Society, Ghost Shadow Sect... Chengshan City had fourteen sects with martial arts masters in charge, and soon the number reached thirteen.

Only the protagonist after the martial arts competition has not arrived yet.

Shopkeeper Qian looked in the direction of Banshanmen and thought, could it be that Banshanmen will not be participating in this martial arts competition?

But before he could think about it, he saw a wild bull suddenly breaking through the sea of ​​clouds in the distant sky. On top of the wild bull, an old orc with white hair and beard and a heroic face looked at him calmly.

Shopkeeper Qian considered himself knowledgeable and experienced. He had seen bandit leaders who killed people without warning, disciples of the Holy Sect who came out to travel, martial arts masters who retired and returned to their hometowns... He had seen all of them.

But none of these people gave him as much pressure as the old orc in front of him.

But when being stared at by this old orc, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and a fear from the bottom of his heart made him shiver.

Obviously, before this, he was still under the pressure of Yun Jiuxiao, the martial arts master, but he remained calm and his voice was as loud as a bell.

Soon, the old orc withdrew his gaze. Shopkeeper Qian finally recovered and sang along with a trembling voice:

"Move...move to the mountain gate!"

……

Looking at the huge wooden building in front of him, Richard hovered in the air and walked in step by step.

Kong Xiong and his disciples followed closely behind.

Along the way, countless eyes were focused on this old orc who looked unfamiliar.

Many people were wondering who this old orc was.

The appearance of Chengshan Building is like a tall tower. Except for the outer rooms, the interior is actually hollow, with only eight large pillars supporting the structure of the entire building.

At this moment, a huge arena has been suspended in the air, and the younger generation of various sects are eager to try and are ready to go on stage to compete with others at any time.

Suddenly, a voice from nowhere echoed in Chengshan Tower.

"Senior Chu is still as elegant as ever."

Chu Yuan, Richard's current name.

Richard looked up at the source of the voice, and with his mental power he swept through it without hesitation, and replied calmly: "Is old ghost Long dead? Why did the Wuhui send a little kid like you out?"

The person who spoke was the current leader of Jiaolong Society. According to the information Richard knew, the man's name was Long Xiaotian.

Long Xiaotian was not annoyed when he heard this, and replied: "My master needed to see Tiandao occasionally a while ago, and is currently in seclusion in order to make further progress."

Hearing this, the other twelve sect leaders on the ninth floor were all moved.

The way of heaven that the mad orc refers to is the rules. Translated into the words of the wizard, Long Xiaotian's words mean the fragments of rules that his teacher saw under the curtain some time ago and is currently digesting.

Richard nodded slightly: "Then he'd better hurry up, because I'm going to ask him for advice in the next two days."

As soon as these words were spoken, bursts of laughter suddenly rang out from the room on the ninth floor.

Someone sneered, "Is this old man surnamed Chu confused because of seclusion? Does he think the current Banshan Gate is the same as the previous Banshan Gate?"

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaotian laughed and said, "Okay, okay, on behalf of my master, I welcome Senior Chu to come and learn from you."

After the mountain gate was moved and settled, the Chengshan Martial Arts Competition officially began.

The disciples of the small sect came out first and began to compete for supremacy on the stage.

Richard really had no interest in the battles between these first-level creatures.

He yawned and said to Ulises, who was hiding on his shoulder, using mental messages: "Is there anything good in this building?"

"No, there's nothing worth taking from this building except the recipes."

"menu?"

Richard was a little confused.

Ulises explained: "These wild orcs are good at cooking. When I asked around these two days, I heard that there is a profession called "Martial Chef" among the wild orcs, who is responsible for cooking magic beasts with various magic potions."

"Oh? There's such a thing? Then go and steal his recipe. It's not easy to come here, you can't leave empty-handed."

“…I feel like you’re being a bit shameless.”

"You take it and I'll make it for you later."

"Wait a minute, I'll be there soon."

Amid Richard's repeated yawns, the battle between his disciples finally ended.

What comes next is the highlight of this martial arts competition.

I saw a figure in white flying out from the ninth floor and slowly landing on the stage.

"I am Yun Jiuxiao, the leader of the Yunxiao Sect. Senior Chu, can we fight in the ring?"
