Chapter 801: First Day of Competition

In the first round of ten matches, all the southern martial arts masters came out, but they only won one match.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The three old men in the south all had black faces.

They felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in their backs, and like a fishbone stuck in their throats.

They were so embarrassed that they were about to die.

The southern martial artists in the audience and the local audience were in an uproar and very excited.

They couldn't accept this fact, and some even started to curse, either scolding the northern martial artists for being despicable and shameless and having no martial ethics, or scolding the southern martial artists for being shameless and diarrhea.

But no matter how the audience reacted, the match on the ring had to continue.

According to the rules, the winner can choose to defend the ring and continue the match, or temporarily step down and then continue the match.

After a brief consideration, the ten winners, except for Wu Yingdan who was too exhausted, planned to continue to accept the challenge on the stage.

Wu Yingdan was in the northern third ring. After he left the stage, he was replaced by a northern martial artist.

This resulted in all the northerners in the ten arenas, except for the South Five Arena!

The southern warriors were all ashamed, but they could only accept the fact.

The second round started soon.

The southern warriors who would compete in the first round and the second round had been decided long ago, and even who would go to which arena had been decided in advance.

However, according to the original plan of the three elders, they planned to wait until all the top ten southern masters became champions before the contestants in the second round came on stage.

But unexpectedly, all the top ten masters have now failed...

The southern warriors who came on stage in the second round were generally not as strong as those in the first round.

On the other hand, the nine defenders of the northern warriors were already strong, and with the power of a big victory, they were in an absolute advantage in terms of strength and morale.

Su Yi thought for a moment and chose his second disciple Bill Underwood to replace Wu Yingdan.

Bill Underwood was experienced and had very strong practical ability. With him on the field, there would be basically no problem in this game.

As for the people who were fighting against the Southern Praying Fist in the Southern Five Arena, because the last attempt failed, Su Yi simply did not designate who would play this time, but instead released the news and let the northern warriors choose for themselves.

Finally, a Chaquan master came on stage.

The second round of the competition officially began.

The result of the competition was no surprise - it was still nine wins out of ten!

Nine wins in the North, one win in the South!

The winner in the South was still the Southern Praying Fist master Zhu Jingu.

His performance was very stable. Facing the Chaquan master, he and his opponent entangled for more than ten rounds, and finally used his ultimate move, the shocking bounce, to knock his opponent off the ring.

"Humph! It's simply inexplicable!" Among the three elders in the South, Master Dong's face turned red with shame, as if he had no face to stay any longer, and he just walked away.

The other two elders were also very embarrassed, but they all forced themselves to sit in the hall with dignity.

The warriors' confrontation, each game seemed to be only a few minutes, but the physical strength and energy consumed were very huge.

After two matches, some champions were exhausted and panting, so they gave up defending the ring and chose to step down temporarily and fight again later.

The rules of the competition stipulate that each warrior must fight at least two matches a day to complete the competition task. These warriors who won two consecutive games have completed their tasks today.

However, there are still four people who choose to stay on the stage to compete, such as Bill Underwood who just came on the stage, Ma Chengzhi from the North One Ring, Li Yuanzhi from the North Five Ring, and Hong Shixian from the South Three Ring.

Su Yi sent six newcomers to the stage.

It is worth mentioning that Zhu Jingu of the Southern Mantis Boxing also chose to step down and not continue to fight, which made Su Yi a little regretful, because he just saw something and planned to prevent the birth of the first champion in the south.

In the third round of the competition, the "quality" of the northern warriors also declined, and the good and the bad were mixed. This time, the north only won seven out of ten games.

The four northern defenders who had won two games before all won!

According to the rules, Ma Zhicheng, Li Yuanzhi and Hong Shixian became the champions. They still need to fight three more games, but they only need to win two games to qualify in this selection and become one of the Chinese martial artists who can participate in the main competition of the Wan Guo Fighting Competition!

There are three winners in the South this time. Two of them played well and there is nothing to say, but one of them won the northern master who Su Yi classified as "second-class" cleanly.

This person is Rong Canghai. He uses Xiajiaquan. His moves are quite neat and his body is agile, which left a deep impression on Su Yi.

Although the South still lost more than it won in the third round, it was not as embarrassing as the first two rounds. This also made the warriors in the South feel relieved.

But the fourth round immediately followed, and the mood of the southern warriors instantly fell to the lowest point!

In this round, the northern warriors won all ten games!

The southern warriors were completely annihilated!

Even Rong Canghai, who Su Yi was very optimistic about.

To be on the safe side, Su Yi specially arranged for his founding disciple Jiang Tieshan to fight. The two fought fiercely, and Jiang Tieshan finally won half a move, knocked Rong Canghai off the stage, and won the game.

With the end of the fourth round, Bill Underwood also became the champion, and Ma Zhicheng, Hong Shixian and Li Yuanzhi had achieved four wins!

As long as they win one more game, they will directly qualify!

In contrast, in the south, there has not been a champion so far, and only Zhu Jingu has won two games in a row.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely low, and the southern warriors were like bereaved parents, unwilling to believe this fact.

Even the two remaining southern elders on the stage were a little restless. Ye Wen, who always kept to himself, was embarrassed.

Su Yi was speechless. I didn't even use much strength...

He thought for a moment, called someone to whisper a few words, and asked him to tell Gong Baosen.

Gong Baosen soon received Su Yi's message. He looked at the two southern elders on the side with a strange look and said, "Tell Liangchen that he is the leader. How he makes decisions is his business. He doesn't need to ask us."

"Yes!"

After the messenger left, Li Shuwen cast a questioning look at Gong Baosen, meaning what did the boy say.

Gong Baosen came close to him and lowered his voice and moved his lips: "He wants to show mercy."

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "That's right. After all, it's a talent selection, not a dispute between the north and the south. Leave a way for people so that we can meet again in the future."

Su Yi thought so too. This selection competition is aimed at selecting talents, not to rub the faces of southern warriors on the ground. If the southerners lose too badly in the end, it will be a big blow, and the gains will not outweigh the losses.

So he planned not to arrange the troops anymore and let the northern warriors play freely.

Su Yi was sure that if he continued to arrange, there would be only a handful of southerners who could be selected.

After getting Gong Baosen's reply, Su Yi directly told those who lined up to pass the message that they could withdraw. He planned to watch the whole process from the sidelines. He originally planned to remind Li Yuanzhi that he had consumed nearly half of his physical energy and should go down to rest.

But Li Yuanzhi seemed to be overwhelmed by the successive victories and wanted to fight again.

Now, he was too lazy to remind him.

The fifth round of the game started!

This time Rong Canghai became the challenger among the southern warriors. He did not choose to challenge Jiang Tieshan, who had just defeated him, but chose Li Yuanzhi in the North Three Arena.

Seeing this, Su Yi began to mourn for Li Yuanzhi even before the game started.

Another heavyweight player from the south also came on stage, Zhu Jingu, the successor of the Southern Mantis Fist.

This time, Zhu Jingu chose an opponent who was also in the northern ring. He chose a warrior who was classified as "second-class" by Su Yi.

In the southern ring, Cai Yongming, Mo Liang and Zhang Xiaocai, who had lost a round before, also chose to use their last chance to come back on stage in this round to challenge their opponents from the north.

This round was definitely the most exciting round of the day. The ten games were all very intense.

But in the end, the north won six games!

Only Rong Canghai, Zhu Jingu, Mo Liang and Zhang Xiaocai won in the south!

Cai Yongming, a famous southerner, lost again to a second-class warrior from the north. He was eliminated directly after two consecutive defeats and became the first player to be eliminated in this competition!

And with the end of this round, the first and second players who qualified for this event were also born!

They were Ma Zhicheng and Hong Shixian!

Li Yuanzhi suffered a complete and tragic defeat. Facing Rong Canghai, he was already physically weak and had no power to fight back. He was directly knocked off the stage, and his dizzy mind finally came to his senses.

As Su Yi deliberately let the water go and gave up the deployment of troops, the southern warriors gradually won more and more, and the northern players also appeared eliminated.

By noon, five people from the north qualified, three of whom were Su Yi's disciples - his eldest disciple Jiang Tieshan, the second disciple Bill Underwood, and the seventeenth Hong Shixian.

There are two more, one is Chen Tai Chi Ma Zhicheng, and the other is Hebei Province wrestling master Wang Ziqing.

These five people all qualified directly with six wins in six games, without a single defeat!

Two people from the north qualified - Rong Canghai and Zhu Jingu.

Among them, Zhu Jingu won six games and Rong Canghai lost two games in eight games.

It is worth mentioning that Rong Canghai's second defeat was when he won three games in a row after defeating Li Yuanzhi. He insisted on playing despite his declining physical strength. As a result, he met Zhu Guofu, a famous Xingyiquan master who had fought with Su Yi before.

Zhu Guofu's Xingyiquan was dense and steady. Rong Canghai had planned to fight quickly, but he had no way to deal with Zhu Guofu, who was not good at fighting. In the end, he was exhausted. Without waiting for Zhu Guofu to make a move, he raised his hand and admitted defeat.

Rong Canghai rested for 20 minutes before fighting again and won the fifth game.

Then he stepped down again to rest for two games, and finally challenged a low-ranking player from the north. He successfully completed his last game and successfully qualified.

There was a three-hour break at noon, which was the time for referees and players to eat and rest.

Su Yi went up to meet Gong Baosen and others, but unexpectedly, the two old men from the south came with Ye Wen to greet Su Yi. Their attitude was very enthusiastic and they invited Su Yi to have dinner together in the evening.

After the two southern elders left, Li Shuwen smiled and said to Su Yi: "They are grateful for your kindness."

Su Yi smiled and did not respond.

The two southern elders really have to appreciate this kindness.

If Su Yi had not chosen to give up the deployment of troops, but had been deliberately sniping the southern warriors, then let alone whether Rong Canghai and Zhu Jingu could qualify, it would be hard to say whether there would be a champion in the south.

At 3 pm, the competition continued.

Although Su Yi gave up the deployment of troops and allowed the northern warriors to play freely and participate in the competition freely, even so, facing the southern warriors, the northern warriors still had a great advantage.

The southern warriors felt very shocked and felt it was incredible, but this situation was a very normal situation in the eyes of Su Yi and Gong Baosen and other knowledgeable people.

In recent decades, although the northern martial arts world has had various problems and has fallen into a state of stagnation, with the efforts of Gong Baosen and others, the overall environment of the martial arts world is still one of mutual communication, integration and competition.

Bagua Xingyi merged, Tai Chi schools sought their ancestors, Yanqing, Paochui, Tongbei and other boxing styles exchanged martial arts secrets and joined the Chinese Martial Arts Association.

In addition, under the auspices of Gong Baosen and others, large and small competitions have never stopped every year, which has led to the prosperity of the northern martial arts world. Even if the waves wash away the sand, many martial arts talents can be found.

In contrast, the southern martial arts world is basically a mess, and everyone plays their own way.

All schools and sects are based on the model of ancient small workshops.

Even except for a few boxing schools, most schools have not realized commercial teaching, and there are only two or three disciples, which is very pitiful.

The most typical example is Wing Chun. As the birthplace of Wing Chun, the only Wing Chun sect member left in Foshan is Ip Man. Ip Man represents Wing Chun.

One sect has only one person. Can you imagine this in the north?

It is impossible.

Even in a small sect, if there are too few people, the head of the sect will be so worried that his hair will be pulled out.

But do you think Ip Man is anxious?

He drinks tea and visits the hall every day, accompanies his wife to watch operas, or wanders around to collect rent, play mahjong, and practice boxing.

He doesn't care whether Wing Chun should be promoted or not.

The situation of Wing Chun is not an isolated case. Many sects are the same as Wing Chun. There are few people, and no one worries about whether to promote the sect.

In the cognition of most southern martial artists, small sects are good, and martial arts inheritance should be like this. If there are more people, won't their own martial arts be worthless?

Therefore, the current situation of the southern martial arts can be said to be intentionally caused by these conservative martial artists.

Now, it is time for them to bear the consequences of their conservatism.

The serious lack of communication and the lack of keeping up with the times have led to the backwardness of the warriors, martial arts and fighting experience in the south, which has led to the current situation of more defeats than wins.

Even without Su Yi's deployment of troops, the southern martial arts world still lost miserably at the end of the day.

At the end of the day, there were eleven people who qualified, including nine northern warriors, and only Rong Canghai and Zhu Jingu from the south.

In addition to the eleven qualifiers, twenty-seven champions were born. Among them, twenty-one were northern warriors and only six were southern warriors.

A total of one hundred and nineteen people were eliminated on the first day, including thirty-four northern warriors and eighty-five southern warriors!
