******************************
In this martial arts competition, Xiang Yu met many famous people in history in the future, such as Wu Pu (79) who served for Wei State with Huang Xin, and Zhou Shi (78) who supported Wei Wangjiu for Wei Guoguo in the future; Follow Tian Heng (80) who returned to the country from his elder brother and so on.

Seeing these people, Xiang Yu knew that they were also relying on this kind of opportunity to win over the tyrannical people and prepare for the restoration of the country in the future.Originally, Xiang Yu wanted to get in touch with these people, but after thinking about it, he felt that he would definitely be watched, and he had already won over Fu Kuan and made friends with Huang Xin.

You can't contact these people too frequently, otherwise it will cause others to suspect and be guessed about your ultimate purpose.

Xiang Yu actually didn't know, but after he had a banquet with Huang Xin, Fu Kuan and others, Ying Zheng knew that Xiang Yu had drawn Fu Kuan and made friends with Huang Xin.

Of course, Ying Zheng also knew about Xiang Fu's situation, so he didn't say anything when Xiang Yu recruited a person with high martial arts skills!
Anbu had other information before, such as the defeated ranger being invited to the mansion by some nobleman as a guardian or general.And Xiang Bo also took advantage of this trend and recruited more than ten ranger masters, all of whom were on the list provided by Xiang Yu.

****************************
Zhou Gu and Li Shang went to the martial arts arena. The two first saluted each other, and then they fought with each other with their moves.

In an instant, a knife and a gun were under the control of their respective masters, and the confrontation began.

Zhou Gu fully demonstrated the flexibility of his marksmanship, and every time Li Shang tried his best, he was always able to get rid of his power.The two fought for nearly [-] rounds, and Zhou Gu began to exert his strength.

Originally, Zhou Gu wanted to use the flexibility of his moves to expose Li Shang's flaws and win him!Unexpectedly, Li Shang could hold on for so long.Therefore, Zhou Gu began to use his strength to fight Li Shang.

Although Li Shang's martial arts achievements in the future will be greater than Zhou Gu's, but that is also in the future!Today's Li Shang is just a young man who has just graduated from school, or even has not yet graduated from school.Naturally, it couldn't compare to Zhou Gu, a veteran who had experienced the baptism of the rivers and lakes and had rich experience in martial arts!
The sound of "ping pong bang bang" was enough to let everyone under the competition stage know how much strength the two of them had used.

As soon as Zhou Gu used his strength, Li Shang used more strength than before to maintain his advantage.But after a few rounds, Li Shang felt a little weak.

Li Shang himself was quite strong, but he was too young and had zero experience in martial arts competitions!All the people he defeated before were dealt with by him with his strength, and Li Shang, who had benefited from it, began to believe that his strength was the only way to win!
In the previous fight with Zhou Gu, Li Shang used too much energy to forget all the skills taught by his master, and now he started to panic when he started to lose strength!

Seeing this, Zhou Gu became serious. Originally, he used four points of strength and six points of skill, but now he used seven points of strength and three points of skill!
There were many masters in the audience, and the others saw that the two were fighting fiercely, but they didn't know that Li Shang had the strength to fight back, they only had the strength to parry!

Soon, seeing that Li Shang's strength was getting weaker and weaker, Zhou Gu tried his best to sweep away with his spear.

Li Shang raised his sword to block this move, but as soon as he touched Li Shang, he felt a very strong force, and Li Shang, who was already powerless to resist, was swept down in an instant.

Seeing this, Zhou Gu retracted the spear and stretched out his hand forward.

Li Shang put his hand on the ground, and then Zhou Gu stood up with all his strength.

At this time, Xiang Bo also went to the competition stage, and he announced: "Zhou Gu wins! He has successfully become one of the top eight!"

The rangers from Sanchuan County in the audience applauded, and Li Shang also cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Brother Zhou!"

"Congratulations! If you can use your skills at the beginning, I will definitely not be able to defeat you so quickly! At least you and I will be able to decide the winner until the [-]th round!" Zhou Gu also cupped his hands, without any domineering tone.

The two arched their hands again, and got off the competition platform from both sides.

Huang Shao stepped forward to congratulate Zhou Gu, and the two started talking.

When Li Shang got off the competition stage, Ge Ying and Guan Ying, who both belonged to Chu, came to comfort Li Shang, and Xiang Yu also came!

Xiang Yu first stated that he was also from Chu, and then started talking with the three of them.

During the conversation, Xiang Yu knew that Guan Ying and Ge Ying, one came to Xianyang with his father to sell the remnants of alcohol at Zuixianju, and the other escorted a merchant to Xianyang to do business as a bodyguard!

Xiang Yu made up his mind that he was going to keep the two of them as his helpers, and he could even let them go back to Wu County to help and follow his uncle Xiang Liang.

Li Guo played against Su Nu, the two struggled a lot, and finally Li Guo won.

Then, Xiang Yu played against Wang Wu. Without a doubt, Xiang Yu solved Wang Wu within ten moves.

Next, Huang Xin faced Ge Ying, and the two could be said to be evenly matched.The two fought until more than 80 points, and finally Huang Xin lost to Ge Ying.

After that, Fu Kuan, Huang Shao and Guan Ying won one after another!The top eight seats have been laid.

"Everyone! Today's top eight are born, they are Zhou Gu, Li Guo, Xiang Yu, Ge Ying, Fu Kuan, Huang Shao, Guan Ying, and Zhao Ben! After the top eight, there will be a top four! But before that, for the time being Let the eight rest for a day! The day after tomorrow, the eight will still be here to decide the top four!" Xiang Bo came to the stage and said to the rangers in the audience.

"After the first place is decided, I will invite everyone to have a banquet here!"

"Why do you want to have a banquet here?" a ranger asked loudly.

"It's all because you came from afar and gave us Zuixianju face to participate in this martial arts tournament! To repay everyone's kindness, I, Zuixianju, will hold a banquet here!" Uncle Xiang replied impatiently.

"Then is there Zuixianjiu and Huadiaojiu?" A ranger who seemed to be good at wine also asked.

"Yes! But there are only three cups per person, and only for those who signed up for the martial arts competition! And the other secondary wines produced by Zuixianju will be unlimited!" Xiang Bo still replied with a smile.

Xiang Bo's words gave thousands of rangers face, and made thousands of rangers regret not participating in the martial arts tournament.You know, in other counties outside the pass, the price of a bottle of Zuixianjiu and Huadiaojiu in wine shops is maintained at [-] yuan, which remains high!
