After saluting Li Shimin, the Minister of War held his head high and walked to the ring to preside.
He first introduced Li Shimin and the important ministers on the high platform to the contestants, and then repeated the rewards of the competition.
"Everyone, you stand out from the crowd of 180,000 people. You are all masters of your skills."
"In the last round of competition, I hope that while you are showing your strength, you will also be able to Pay attention to your own safety."
After the instructions, the Minister of Industry announced the start of the game loudly,
"Now the contestant who has drawn No. 1 will come on stage."
The game officially started, and everyone on and off the stage was attentive.
The players who drew No. 1 were all warriors in the army, and one of them was Song Biao, the right military guard.
They walked to the weapons rack next to the ring and picked out the weapons they had. Without exception, they all chose spears for foot combat.
After the game started, they quickly stood together.
The strength of Song Biao and Zhao Feng Er's warriors were evenly matched. They fought for more than 300 rounds, and finally ended with Song Biao narrowly winning.
"Heitan Tou, that big-eared man is probably from your Youwu Houwei. His strength is pretty good, but it's a pity that he met someone from my Youwuwei." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.
His people won, which made Cheng Yaojin feel so comfortable that he couldn't help but mock Yuchi Gong.
"Just a small appetizer, let's wait until the main course is served." Yu Chigong said nonchalantly.
Players of this level are just here to serve as foils.
"Now please invite the contestant who drew No. 2 to come on stage!" the Minister of War shouted loudly.
Yuchi Baoqi and his opponent stepped onto the stage and skillfully selected weapons.
"Jingde, your second child is really strong." When Li Shimin saw Yuchi Baoqi, who was so muscular, he sat up straighter.
"This kid only has a good physique, but his strength is still lacking." Yuchi Gong shook his head.
If Yuchi Baoqi has the strength of Xu Hu and others, then he is very qualified.
Yuchi Baoqi's movements are very agile, and he can defeat his opponent in more than ten moves.
"The tiger father has no dog sons, Bao Qi is really strong!" Li Shimin nodded repeatedly and said with emotion.
The officials in the court were a little dissatisfied. They did not expect Yuchi Gong's son to be so powerful. It seems that their Yuchi family's power in the army will become more and more powerful in the future.
Next, Xu Hu, Erdan and Xue Rengui appeared one after another, and they all solved the battle within a few moves.
"He is worthy of being a young talent who killed the Turkic knights. He is so powerful!"
"Others are not at the same level compared to him."
p>The superb performances of Xu Hu, Er Dan and Xue Rengui made even the taciturn Wei Zheng unable to help but praise them.
hearWei Zheng's praise made the happiest person not Wang Jian, but Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin.
They lost their old humiliation and proposed to His Majesty to increase the rewards of the martial arts competition, just for their disciples.
"There are many talents in Wangxian Hou Mansion, and these three people are quite like generals!" Li Shimin nodded and stroked his beard, and gave a very high evaluation.
During the preliminary round, he had already seen how powerful Er Dan was, but he did not expect Xue Rengui and Xu Hu to be so strong.
When Li Shimin praised him, all the civil and military ministers around him turned their attention to Wang Jian.
Not only does this guy have great personal strength, he also has such potential helpers around him.
If he doesn’t fall midway in the future, he will definitely have a place in the imperial court.
Some powerless people, such as He Luntuo, a farm doctor, all had the idea of currying favor with Wang Jian.
The competition was carried out in an orderly manner. After one group of competitions ended, the Minister of Industry took the stage to announce the next group of contestants.
"Now, please invite the contestant who drew No. 25 to come on stage."
After the Minister of War finished speaking, Fang Yiai and a red-haired middle-aged man stepped onto the stage.
"Xiang Fang, I didn't expect that your son would also reach the finals."
"Xiang Xiangwen can bring peace to the world, and he has also cultivated a good son who can rule the world. He has truly contributed to the Tang Dynasty. He worked hard and had good intentions."
Kong Yingda and other civil servants flattered Fang Xuanling one after another.
Changsun Wuji glanced at Fang Xuanling, who was smiling, with a bit of displeasure on his face.
At the same time, he also hated his group of children, especially the eldest son Changsun Chong. He had placed so many high hopes on him and ended up becoming a playboy.

Fang Yiai’s weapon of choice was a machete, but the red-haired middle-aged man chose a sledgehammer.
Those who use sledgehammers are without exception ruthless people with extraordinary strength.
"The game begins!"
Before the Minister of War could finish his words, the red-haired middle-aged man took action first.
He moved quickly and raised the sledgehammer high to hit Fang Yiai, who was not yet ready.
"Be careful!"
Wang Jian has been paying attention to the situation on the stage. When he saw the red-haired middle-aged man carrying out a sneak attack without respecting martial ethics, he quickly warned loudly.
"How brave!"
Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong and others stood up one after another, with a murderous look in their eyes.
Seeing the sledgehammer coming down on his face, Fang Yiai quickly raised his sword and responded in panic.
"Bang~"
Fang Yiai took the powerful and heavy blow and took eight or nine steps back.
"Suck~"
Not only did Fang Yiai's hands feel numb from the shock, but his chest also felt vague pain.
The red-haired middle-aged man succeeded in a sneak attack. He raised his sledgehammer and chased Fang Yiai.
Not only was he extremely strong, he was also extremely flexible. In just eight or nine moves, Fang Yi was almost hit by a sledgehammer several times.
Moreover, Fang Yiai was now forced to the corner of the ring and was in a dangerous situation.
"Yi Ai, jump off the ring and admit defeat!"
Wang Jian shouted towards Fang Yi'ai.
This red-haired middle-aged man is going after the cripple. If he continues to fight, something might happen.
Fang Yiai no longer persisted. After blocking a blow, he quickly turned around and jumped off the ring.
Seeing his opponent jump off the ring, the red-haired middle-aged man did not dare to take any more action. He looked at Fang Yiai's back with a trace of disappointment in his eyes.
"I admit it. I have offended you a moment ago. Please forgive me." The red-haired middle-aged courtier Yiai handed over his wife, with a hint of apology on his face.
On the high platform, the civil and military officials had different expressions.
Seeing Fang Yiai's defeat, Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui and others all smiled.
This is right. If even Fang Yiai can enter the top ten, then there will really be no one left in the Tang Dynasty.
They didn’t care at all that the red-haired middle-aged man relied on sneak attacks to win the game. It was normal for him to use some tricks in the ring.
Wang Jian and Fang Xuanling had angry expressions on their faces.
There is something wrong with this red-haired middle-aged man!
It’s so ruthless, every move is aimed at the cripple.
"Yai Ai's strength is quite good. Many captains in the army cannot match him, but his opponents are much stronger." Qin Qiong narrowed his eyes and nodded.
From the red-haired middle-aged man, he saw the figure of a green forest man. There were no rigid moves, and every blow was aimed at the vital point.
Cheng Yaojin also nodded with deep understanding.
This kind of person has no martial ethics and his moves are vicious, very similar to the moves he learned in Wagang Village.
If the red-haired middle-aged man simply wanted to win the competition, that would be fine. If he had ulterior motives, that would be a different matter.
Wang Jian winked at Fang Xuanling, and they suppressed their inner anger and sat back on their chairs.
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and did not make any comment.
After the first round of competition, both Ma Dayong and Ma Chengcai were eliminated.
The players they met were all very strong, and their combat experience and personal qualities were better than the two of them.
Fifty people entered the second round. They did not take a break and then drew lots to compete.
"Hahaha, the five of us didn't draw the same number."
Cheng Chumo held up the number plate and asked for a round, and when he saw that he hadn't bumped into Xue Rengui and the others, he His big face burst into laughter.
