Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 62 Apply for Volunteer First
Zhang Zhiwei flashed a golden light, and the preliminaries were declared over.

There are nine players on the field at this time:

Li Kunshan, Qiu Sheng, Lu Ming, Shi Shaojian, Maoshan alone occupies four places.

The three people from Longhu Mountain, Zhang Zhiwei, and two other brothers including the short one with big ears.

There are only two places left in Gezhao Mountain.

"Hmph~!"

In the stands, several division commanders of Gezhao Mountain had gloomy expressions and snorted coldly.

There are nine places in Sanshan, and three for each family is just right. Now they only have two, how can they be happy?

The most important thing is that it’s embarrassing.

Everyone on Gezhao Mountain looked towards Maoshan with obvious hostility in their eyes.

The one vacancy that Gezhao Mountain has is exactly the one extra that Maoshan has.

If it was Longhu Mountain, it would be fine. After all, Longhu Mountain is the ancestral temple and governs the three mountains.

But how can Maoshan and Gezhaoshan accept this?

Why should their Lingbao Sect be inferior to the Shangqing Sect?

"I really didn't expect that."

"really."

Facing the aggressive gaze of Gezhaoshan, Uncle Jiu, Taoist Qianhe and others talked in low voices, simply ignored them and did not look at them.

If you get the advantage, just be happy in your heart, there is no need to confront the other party.

"I'm not as skilled as you, what's there to say?"

However, Shi Jian was not one to be bullied. He snorted coldly and looked at the people from Gezhao Mountain without any hesitation.

"you!"

Originally, they just wanted to save some face, but Shi Jian didn't give them this opportunity. For a moment, everyone in Gezhao Mountain flushed.

But as Shi Jian said, in a fair competition, if the disciple's skills are not as good as others, can they, as teachers, still help him?
Furthermore, Shi Jian is well-known. Although the people of Gezhao Mountain have their own methods, they are probably no match for him.

"hateful!"

For a moment, he was in a difficult situation and could only snort coldly, turn his head and force himself to swallow his anger.

Shi Jian sneered and turned his head with satisfaction.

Uncle Jiu and the others looked at each other and smiled.

Regardless of the stance within the sect, when facing outsiders, it must be said that Shi Jian is still very qualified as the eldest brother.

This is also why, even though Shi Jian has such a bad personality, so many of his fellow disciples are willing to support him.

"Why!"

Not only in the stands, but all the disciples of Gezao Mountain on the field, regardless of whether they were eliminated or not, were indignant.

But just like their teacher, they could only glare and vent their anger towards Maoshan.

The Maoshan disciples have different personalities and naturally behave differently.

The angrier the other party got, the more proud Qiu Sheng became, looking very despicable. Shi Shaojian, like Shi Jian, confronted the other party head-on.

In contrast, Li Kunshan didn't care about Gezhaoshan, or to be more precise, among all the people on the field at this moment, the only one he cared about was Zhang Zhiwei.

"How cunning."

Looking at Zhang Zhiwei, Li Kunshan smiled secretly in his heart.

This future Heavenly Master not only behaved unconventionally in his old age, but also acted unexpectedly in his youth. However, in reality, he often had a deeper meaning.

It seemed like he accidentally knocked out several fellow disciples from Longhu Mountain, but in fact, I'm afraid he did it on purpose.

There were nine people on the field at this time, and there were exactly three from Longhu Mountain.

If Zhang Zhiwei had been biased just now and only sent out the disciples from the other two mountains, people would definitely criticize Longhu Mountain as the host.

Furthermore, Zhang Zhiwei must be aware of the strength of his three fellow disciples. Rather than being eliminated later, it would be better for him to withdraw early and get a Nine Dragons Son, which would be a way to keep the benefits within the family.

"it is good."

Obviously, Zhang Jingqing also saw Zhang Zhiwei's intention. He glanced at the remaining nine people and nodded slightly.

Then he spoke directly with a serious expression.

"Only three priesthoods can be granted this time: the seventh-rank official of the Thunder Department, the sixth-rank official of the Water Department, and the seventh-rank official of the Guangdong City God Temple Inspection Office."

“So these are the three priesthoods.”

"This time there is a priest of the Thunder Department!"

"Although the Water Department is not as good as the Thunder Department, it is a sixth-grade one, one grade higher in rank." "Tsk tsk, although the quota is small, it is really good."

After listening to Zhang Jingqing's words, everyone started a heated discussion.

Not only the remaining disciples on the field, but also the teachers in the stands nodded repeatedly.

Apart from the Assistant Clerk of the City God Temple, I have to say that the remaining two priests are pretty good.

The people who were just worrying about the number of selected places for each family were no longer able to care about these things for the time being and focused their attention on these three priesthoods.

"It's getting late."

Looking up at the sun that was already setting in the west, Zhang Jingqing spoke again.

"Let's go have lunch first. While we're at it, think about which spot we want to compete for. We'll be competing here again at 2 p.m."

After saying that, Zhang Jingqing turned around and left.

Immediately afterwards, disciples from Mount Longhu came over and led the people from Mount Mao and Mount Gezhao to the dining hall for lunch.

"Master, which spot do you think I should compete for?"

In a corner of the dining hall, Li Kunshan, Qiu Sheng, Lu Ming, Uncle Jiu, Taoist Qianhe, Zhe Gu, and Nian Ying were sitting at a table. While eating, Qiu Sheng asked Uncle Jiu a question.

Uncle Jiu didn't say anything, but looked to the opposite corner.

Shi Jian and Shi Shaojian, the master and his disciple, were sitting alone at a table, whispering something to each other.

In addition, most of the other disciples from Gezhao Mountain and Longhu Mountain who were participating in the competition had also gathered and were discussing in low voices.

There are only three places, not three people chosen from nine and then allocated.

Instead, the nine people make their choice first, and then compete for the one they choose. It is a bit like filling out the application form for the college entrance examination, where you choose first and then get admitted.

Some clerical positions are popular, so there must be many people choosing them and the competition is fierce, such as the Governor of the Ministry of Thunder.

Correspondingly, there is less competition for unpopular positions, such as the Assistant Clerk of the City God Temple.

Therefore, how to choose at this time is extremely important.

It is better to eat one sweet peach than a basket of rotten apricots, so you should save one first.

"Master, why don't you speak?"

Seeing that Uncle Jiu did not respond, Qiu Sheng asked again.

Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes at Qiu Sheng, looking at him as if he were an idiot.

Li Kunshan and Qiu Sheng are both his apprentices. As a master, he cannot be biased towards anyone and give them advice.

"This is your business, and it's up to you to decide."

Taoist Qianhe spoke and paused.

"However, it would be best if the three of you could stagger each other and not fight among yourselves."

"Yes."

Qiu Sheng nodded, agreeing deeply, and looked at Li Kunshan and Lu Ming.

Lu Ming also nodded, and Li Kunshan smiled to show his approval.

"Then let's discuss it three ways."

After dinner, Qiu Sheng directly pulled Li Kunshan and Lu Ming out of the cafeteria.

Worried that others might eavesdrop using magic, he found a secluded corner.

At the same time, some of the other six contestants were also busy.

For example, Shi Shaojian inquired everywhere about the clergy positions chosen by the other eight people.

After all, only when you know yourself and your enemy can you respond appropriately.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone returned to the training ground.

However, there were only nine people left on the field at this time, and the rest all went to the stands to watch the game.

"Have you thought it through?"

After taking a look at everyone, Zhang Jingqing pointed and said.

"Those who choose the Thunder Department stand on the left, those who choose the Water Department stand in the middle, and those who choose the City God Temple stand on the right."

"Yes."

The nine people responded and stood apart as instructed.

After standing still, look at each other.

As expected, the Thunder Department had the largest number of people, with four in total, the Water Department had three, and the City God Temple had only two.
