Outside the Longmen Inn, there was already a sea of ​​people.

There is a large open space in front of the inn, and there are not many buildings around it. There are even several high platforms that have been built.

The reason why I chose Longmen Inn is because this inn itself belongs to the Dragon King's Mansion. On weekdays, it usually only receives dignitaries or powerful people. It is a five-star hotel.

Moreover, if there are any celebrations on weekdays, they will be held here, so the venue for the Dragon King's competition to recruit his son-in-law is also set up here.

"Woo..."

While people were anxiously waiting for the start, a long horn sound came from the distance.

A group of men and horses walked towards this side with solemn expressions.

The people passing by quickly moved out of the way to make way for them.

"That's the Dragon King Army, right?"

Someone with sharp eyes saw the identity of the soldiers walking towards them.

"Wow, it's actually Dean Xu Changbai! He has actually come out of the academy."

"As expected, he is indeed the Dragon King's right-hand man. Such matters can only be left to him."

Suddenly, someone shouted again in surprise.

Among the crowd, Xu Changbai, the dean of the scholastic academy, looked solemn. He was slowly surrounded by people on a tall horse and arrived in front of the inn.

Someone has already moved tables, chairs and benches here, forming a row around the high platform.

Xu Changbai sat at the main seat, and other people also took their seats in turn.

Dang!

With a crisp bell, the crowd quickly fell silent, waiting for Xu Changbai to speak.

"Today we have the preliminary competition to recruit a son-in-law."

Xu Changbai stood up, his tone was calm, but his voice was like a piercing sound. It penetrated into the ears of everyone present, and it was impossible not to listen. "Because there are too many people, it will be held multiple times."

"Now, please prepare to enter."

Someone next to Xu Changbai handed over a piece of letter paper. He took it, looked at it, and nodded slowly, "Now, if my name is called, please come on stage!"

Shi Kang stood not far away, looking at the crowded crowd with an indifferent expression.

Beside him were the other contestants, all of whom were powerful and oppressive.

But there are only a few people who can compare with his size.

This also makes him become the focus of the field and is valued by many people.

"But even if we look at it this way, so what?"

Shi Kang turned his head and looked to the other side. Li Ruoyun was also here with his men.

He will also participate in the competition, but he will not win the championship, but will solve more troubles for Shi Kang on the way to the final victory.

Although Shi Kang didn't need it, it was good to save a little effort. After all, there was no luck for him, so why bother working too hard.

The first group's competition officially began.

The rules are very simple, a group of five people go up to the high platform, and the winner is the one left at the end.

Before the battle, they will have a moment to talk while burning incense.

Whether it is horizontal or vertical alliances, or threats and bribes, they can use various means to make themselves stand at the end.

It can be said that this is the first time Shi Kang has seen such a competition.

"What the Dragon King wants is not just someone with superb martial arts."

On the side, he seemed to see someone who didn't quite understand. Li Ruoyun said in a low voice, "Look, those who fail may not be eliminated, and those who win may not be able to stay."

Shi Kang was thoughtful, and then quietly watched the people on the field changing one by one.

Here, the strongest people are often attacked by others.

At the same level of gathering strength to generate strength, their strength is not very different.

Four people attacking one person can often win.

As for knowing who is the strongest... these days, everyone with a bit of fame has been completely exposed.

There are only a few people who have no reputation, so they are missed by others and successfully stay on the high platform until the end.

Even the strong man with all his strength passed the test easily while everyone ignored him.

Obviously, the other party does not want to expose himself now to avoid getting into trouble.

After all, even if you have full strength, you are not really invincible. If you are surrounded by four top masters who gather strength, you will also have a chance of defeat.

At that time, the demon king Li Jie was even killed by Shi Kang, who had just gathered strength and strength. Who could he ask to reason with?

Shi Kang thought for a while, and he didn't seem to be famous for anything. He even didn't see his name in the gambling games he saw on the street a few days ago. Obviously, he was one of the people who was missed by mistake.

And there should be Li Ruoyun's help in hiding all his information.

Although he doesn't think that even if his information is exposed, there will still be people who will be his opponents. They are just four people who work together to create strength. They can't even hurt him.

"Shi Kang!"

Suddenly, a voice came, and Xu Changbai finally read Shi Kang's name.

He shouted, and then strode towards the high platform.

"Shi Kang?" After reading the name, Xu Changbai's expression suddenly changed. He glanced at Shi Kang who walked up to the high platform, "It is indeed him."

There is still a lot of resentment towards Shi Kang in the Xu Changbai Center.

Such a person took the top-level breathing method to the scholastic academy, but only read a low-level breathing method, slept in the academy and then left. He really couldn't figure out the reason.

In his opinion, Shi Kang must have some purpose, so he waited in the scholastic academy for a long time, trying to seize evidence of his attack on the scholastic academy, but he never saw him coming.

This unexpected behavior has always haunted Dean Xu Changbai. He even took back the breathing method that Shi Kang had glanced at at that time for his own inspection, and found nothing wrong.

If it weren't for his duty to guard the scholastic academy, he might have personally investigated Shi Kang to see what he wanted to do.

As a result, he never expected that he would actually see him appear on the field where a martial arts contest was held to recruit a son-in-law.

"Also, almost all the people who can come here at this time are here for this competition."

Xu Changbai pondered for a long time, and the people next to him looked at him and did not dare to remind him.

Shi Kangdu is already standing on the high platform. This one has not continued to call others. Is there something wrong?

But even so, no one dared to urge him, and the audience became more and more commotion.

Below, Li Ruoyun frowned and whispered: "What's going on? Why is Xu Changbai silent?"

The guard beside him shook his head, not knowing what the reason was.

After a while, Xu Changbai realized that he had already made a decision in his heart.

Since this Shi Kang behaves strangely, he cannot be allowed to continue participating in the competition to recruit a son-in-law, lest he endanger the Dragon King's daughter.

But this is a competition organized by the Dragon King after all, and he cannot forcefully ask Shi Kang to leave.

So, there is only one way left.

"It's a pity that the master with the most powerful strength has finished the competition, so we can only find some masters from the gathering of strength."

Several names quickly flashed into Xu Changbai's mind and he said: "Lu Ying, Bai Jingming, Hong Ruihu, Shang Bingshan!"

These four people, all currently considered popular figures, actually appeared on the field together in this preliminary round!
Chapter completed!
