Chapter 526: Martial Arts Competition (2)
After all the preliminary contestants have finished their first round of competition, the winners will compete one-on-one in the second round, and so on, until the final winner is chosen to become the Gold Lieutenant of Jinyang City. The three Silver Lieutenants and the twelve Bronze Lieutenants will be selected in turn, followed by the next fifteen.
Of course, in order to avoid missing out, the loser of the competition can also challenge any of the top three silver or bronze lieutenants. As long as he defeats the opponent, he can take his place.
The contest of martial arts will be lost if one of the contestants admits defeat or is knocked off the platform. A stick of ash incense is lit next to the platform and burns out in about half an hour. If the winner is still unknown after the incense burns out, the eight judges on the platform will decide who wins and who loses.
It is difficult to judge the severity of an injury in a martial arts competition. If someone is injured, the Jing'an Hall will pay ten gold shell coins as compensation.
The young man in white spoke a lot. No matter how nice his voice was, the audience below became impatient and shouted, "That's clear enough. Let's start the competition."
"If we don't compete yet, the day lilies at home will get cold. We can't wait to go home and eat them, haha..."
"It's just like that after all, those who are brave and capable should hurry up and get on with it!"
……
Before the young man in white finished speaking, a strong man as tall as an iron tower walked out from the left side of the crowd, picked up the round boulder, and the soldier next to him immediately struck the gong. After ten "bangs", the strong man threw the boulder to the ground with a bang and walked straight onto the arena.
As soon as this person came on stage, he saw Jin Lier frowning on the chair, then turned her head and said something to Zhang Qianyuan next to her. The voices were noisy and Chu Xiaomu couldn't hear clearly.
A short, fat middle-aged man walked out from the right side of the crowd. He held up the huge rock with a stern face and waited for it to ring ten times before he also walked onto the arena.
The strong man like an iron tower clasped his fists towards the short and fat middle-aged man and said, "My name is Liu Dazhuang. What's your name? Where are you from? How dare you compete for this golden officer?"
The short and fat middle-aged man panted for a while and said, "The notice... the notice said that as long as... you have the ability, everyone... everyone can come to compete. You can do it, so why can't I?"
Liu Dazhuang raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Let's see how much you weigh!" He swung his fist at the short and fat middle-aged man.
The short and fat middle-aged man shrank his body, trying to slip under his armpit to avoid him, but he had been holding the huge rock for some time and his strength was almost exhausted. When he was trying to slip past, he suddenly stumbled and fell onto the platform.
Liu Dazhuang raised his leg and kicked him off the platform. He couldn't help laughing and scolded: "You are such a little bitch, and you want to compete for the title of Jinwei and Yinwei. Go back and practice for another 20 years!"
The short and fat middle-aged man fell from a platform more than ten feet high, hit his butt on the ground, groaning and unable to get up.
The crowd wanted to see a wonderful fight, but they didn't expect that the man would be kicked down with one kick. The crowd started to make a noise, some laughing, some cursing, and some shouting.
Chu Xiaomu and Jinglan did not expect that the short and fat middle-aged man was so incompetent. They looked at each other and smiled.
Xiaoying said, "It's amazing that this fat uncle can lift such a big stone. I'm afraid those who laugh at him can't even lift it."
Chu Xiaomu and Jinglan couldn't believe that Xiaoying could say such words. It was very different from her usual indifferent personality. They couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
The young man in white congratulated Liu Dazhuang and handed him a wooden victory plaque. Liu Dazhuang bowed to him, and then bowed to Jin Li'er and others.
Before Liu Dazhuang left the stage, there were already people standing on the left and right sides of the stage ready to test their strength by bouldering.
The one on the left is a sturdy young man in his thirties, and the one on the right is a woman with a long whip, who is very strong and sturdy.
The gong-beating officer standing nearby couldn't help laughing when he saw that it was a woman. He said, "My lady, the gold, silver and bronze officers in my city are all men. Why are you, a woman, here to join in the fun?"
The sturdy woman, who looked like a man, raised her thick eyebrows and said in a rough voice, "The notice you posted didn't say that it was only for men and women couldn't participate!"
The soldier said disapprovingly, "Does it need to be written down? This has been the rule since ancient times! Have you ever seen a woman in my city become a gold or silver lieutenant? Even among the soldiers, there is not a single female one!"
The sturdy woman said, "What kind of bullshit rules are there from ancient times? I won't listen to them! Anyway, your notice doesn't say that women can't participate, so I can go up and give it a try!"
The man in white who was hosting the event on the stage saw that the person on this side did not come on stage, so he ran over to take a look and found that it was a woman who was arguing with the gong official. He was also very surprised.
The sturdy woman quarreled with the gong-beating officer for a few words, then suddenly stretched out her right hand to grab his collar, lifted him up with one hand, and said angrily: "If you don't let me go up, I'll beat you up first!"
The gong-beating officer had no idea that the woman had so much strength. He was immediately frightened and turned pale. He shouted, "Help come quickly, there's a crazy woman here!" The surrounding bronze-armored soldiers rushed over.
The man in white hurriedly stopped the sturdy woman and shouted, "Don't be so presumptuous in front of the young lady of Jinyang City!"
The sturdy woman looked up and asked, "Little white-faced boy, this guy doesn't want to go up to compete in martial arts, do you allow me to go up?"
The man in white blushed immediately when he was called a pretty boy. He thought that of course adult men would be chosen for the martial arts competition, but this was not specified in the notice. This woman suddenly jumped out, and he didn't know whether the Golden Sword Sect deliberately called such a person to disrupt the situation.
He said, "I have no right to decide this matter. Please let him go and I will ask the judges."
The sturdy woman threw the gong-beating official to the ground and said, "Who knows if you will do anything wrong? I'll ask her myself!" Then she jumped onto the platform.
The gong-beating officer yelled from below: "You haven't even carried the stone up to the stage yet, this doesn't count!"
The sturdy woman wrapped the long whip around her neck and shouted to Jin Lier in Wuhuang Tower, "Miss Jin, why don't you allow women to participate in your martial arts competition?"
The people watching the fun below did not mind the big deal and started to make a fuss, shouting: "Yes, women are human beings too, why can't they participate?" They thought that the previous fight would be over with a single kick, and now they finally encountered something interesting, and then they would have a big fight between men and women, and this trip would not be in vain. It was a pity that the woman was too ugly.
Jin Li'er hadn't expected that a woman would stand up to fight, and was obviously a little stunned. The man in white walked up to her and whispered a few words in her ear, probably telling her the whole story.
