Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 55 Dragon Boat Martial Arts Competition (Happy New Year, may you all lead me to prosperity)

"what……"

The next moment, Jin Jiu was thrown out. He looked at himself in mid-air with the ocean under his feet, and immediately panicked.

He can't swim.

"Whoosh."

Lu Ming laughed loudly and kicked over the tree next to him. Then, with his arms exerting force, he threw the tree out and towards the center of the lake.

He exerted force with his legs and jumped up, leaving a shadow in the air in an instant. He grabbed Jin Jiu in mid-air.

"Hahahaha, let's go."

He took a step forward and pulled Jin Jiu to stand on the tree, like a sword immortal flying through the sky, with an imposing aura.

Jin Jiu finally managed to stand firm, and looking at the crazy retreating scene around him, he felt terrified.

"boom."

The trees crashed heavily into the water, creating thousands of splashes.

Lu Ming tapped the tree, and the energy burst out, causing the entire tree to sink heavily. He then took advantage of the momentum and jumped up, flying to the island in the middle of the lake in a blink of an eye.
Jin Jiu was still in shock and it took him a long time to recover.

"Yanyu Tower respectfully welcomes you two."

As soon as the two arrived at the door, a waiter came to greet them.

Everyone in Yanyu Tower knew Lu Ming's name. After all, the couplet on the door was sent by him. In order to expand the influence of the Dragon Boat Martial Arts Association, Yanyu Tower also resisted the pressure and hung the couplet on its own door.

This thing is too hateful. If it is not handled properly, the building will be smashed down.

The Misty Rain Tower was five stories high, and the two of them were seated on the top floor, with a wide view all around and a panoramic view of the entire lake.

"How will the winner of this Dragon Boat Martial Arts Competition be determined by fighting? Are there any rules?"

The waiters quickly served the tea. Lu Ming held the tea bowl and asked.

"This martial arts competition will use the entire Yan Lake as its arena to test the world's talents. There are no rules. Anyone under 40 years old can compete, whether it's a siege, a melee, a round-robin battle, or a single fight. The winner will be the winner."

"If you want to suppress a state's genius, you must have this invincible spirit."

Before the guy could say anything, he heard a long voice coming from downstairs.

Not long after, a fat man with a wealthy face slowly walked up and bowed to Lu Ming and the others.

This person is the owner of Yanyu Tower and the apparent person in charge of this Dragon Boat Martial Arts Competition, but everyone knows that the entire Tai'an government office is behind this person.

"Very good, just what I want!"

Lu Ming was very satisfied with this rule. It was unlike the martial arts exams, which tried to pursue fairness and justice and restricted people's hands and feet.

"somebody is coming!"

Just as everyone was drinking tea and chatting, on one side of Yanhu Lake, someone finally tried to cross the lake.

Lu Ming raised his head, his pupils contracted slightly, and his gaze instantly spanned hundreds of feet and fell on the shore.

The man was thin, less than five feet tall, and extremely skinny. He had a messy head of yellow hair and a long, thin scimitar on his waist.

This person didn't do any warm-up, just took a hundred steps back, and then sprinted with all his strength.

"Dengdengdeng."

His steps were swift, and when he reached the shore, he leaped up, leaping dozens of feet high. As he was about to land on the lake, he suddenly took a deep breath, and his feet landed on a lotus leaf. The leaf trembled, but he used the force to leap out again, like a giant toad, hopping back and forth on the lotus leaves in the lake.

Although his movements were not very good looking, he had already crossed half of the lake in just a moment.

"thump."

But when he was about to jump again, he accidentally used too much force with his foot and stepped on a lotus leaf.

He had no support and fell directly into the water, causing laughter from everyone around him.

If it were someone else, he would have blushed with embarrassment, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he took the opportunity to doggy-paddle in the water and in a blink of an eye, he reached the island in the middle of the lake.

"Hey."

He proudly raised the long sword over his shoulder, shook his body, and all the lake water on his body was washed off. Then he walked upstairs.

The Yanyu Tower only stipulates that participants in the martial arts competition must cross the lake, but it does not say that they cannot swim over.

"It's Zuo Xingyuan from Jintian County. He's a martial artist with superb internal strength and swordsmanship. However, he hasn't cultivated his true energy, so crossing the lake is a bit difficult."

The shopkeeper and Lu Ming on the side introduced them.

It was obvious that as the [County Examination] approached, the quality of many warriors that Lu Ming was now in contact with was improving. The so-called internally strong martial artists were at the fourth level of the [Internal Strength] realm of martial arts. They had already begun to train their five internal organs, had a long breath, and greatly increased their combat effectiveness.

Warriors of this level have incredible physical strength. Once they put on heavy armor, they can fight for a long time in the army. They are very powerful.

Zuo Xingyuan had to swim to reach the island in the middle of the lake in the second half of the journey, which dissuaded many people from wanting to swim across the river.

After all, no one wants to become a laughing stock. Although the rules allow it, even if you reach the center of the lake, you will still be at the bottom.

"Whoosh."

On the shore, a girl in a yellow shirt suddenly jumped up, her figure ethereal, like a water deity. She flipped her sleeves, and an arrow flew out a hundred feet and hit the window frame of the Misty Rain Tower.

The end of the arrow was connected to an extremely thin steel wire. She pulled it slightly, and it seemed to fly through the air, flying across the lake and spanning a hundred feet.

People who don't know the truth actually believe that there are people who can control the air and fly around.

The girl paused slightly, then stood on the island in the middle of the lake. She pulled slightly, and the wire was quickly retracted.

"Qiu Hanxiu, the eldest daughter of Qiu Family Manor in Tai'an Prefecture, should only have the strength of [Gang Jin]. However, the Qiu family is good at making various hidden weapons. If one is not careful, even a martial artist may be caught in the trap."

The shopkeeper recognized the girl's identity.

In fact, at the age of 28, being able to step into [Giantness] is already a very talented person, but it is far from enough in this Dragon Boat Martial Arts Competition.

Lu Ming just watched quietly without expressing any opinion.

Before the genius from the Martial Temple came, the strength of these folk warriors was mediocre, and he didn't even have the desire to take action.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you guys? You won't even let me go to the top floor. You're so stingy."

Qiu Hanxiu rushed to the top floor in a hurry, but was stopped by the guys.

Yanyu Tower is the host of this martial arts competition. The reputation of Qiu Family Village is not effective here. The guys there are all very strong. If a few of them block the way, Qiu Hanxiu will not be able to pass.

No matter how Qiu Hanxiu begged or threatened, he refused to let her come over.

The girl had no choice but to stamp her feet in anger and find a seat on the fourth floor. Zuo Xingyuan, who had arrived earlier than her, was laughing beside her.

He didn't dare to think about the top floor, as that was the place reserved for true geniuses. If they could grab a spot on the fourth floor early, they would already be far ahead of others.
