Li Xiao handed over a piece of bamboo slips, the warrior looked at it and said blankly: "Watching the contest, ten taels of silver."
"I'm here to participate in the fight, not to watch it." Li Xiao said flatly.
"You, a businessman who just entered the city, are going to participate in a martial arts fight?" The samurai was stunned, with a surprised expression on his face.
"Isn't it said that winning the fight is beneficial?" Li Xiao smiled slightly, "There is no rule that merchants are not allowed to participate, right?"
"Hehe, what ghosts and snakes really dare to participate in the martial arts!"
With a sneer on his face, the warrior returned the ID card to Li Xiao: "You don't need to pay to participate in the fighting, just go in and turn left."
Chapter 452: Overlord Xiang Yu
Entering the fighting arena, Li Xiao didn't make trouble, obediently followed the instructions of the warrior, and walked the left passage.
This place is heavily guarded, within a distance of less than a hundred steps, Li Xiao found no less than five clear sentries and three hidden sentries.
After a while, he came to a lobby door.
"newcomer?"
There is a desk at the door, and a Han Chinese sits, a middle-aged man with a stooped figure, looking at Li Xiao.
"Yeah." Li Xiao replied lightly.
"Come here and register." The middle-aged man nodded.
Li Xiao walked over.
"How long is Wu Ling?"
"Wu Ling?" Li Xiao was stunned, thought for a while and said, "Three years, why do you still ask this?"
"Hehe, three years?" The middle-aged man chuckled and shook his head, "For the sake of being Han Chinese, I would like to advise you, immediately, go back where you came from!"
"Why? After three years of martial arts training, you are not worthy of admission?" Li Xiao frowned, "I never heard that there is such a rule."
"It's not a rule, it's a personal warning."
The middle-aged man continued: "Martial arts is not as simple as you think. The water here is very deep. You can't grasp it. Be careful and lose your life."
"It's okay, you registered for me, I know it well." Li Xiao said disapprovingly.
"Ugh……"
The middle-aged man sighed, and said helplessly: "Why do you have to go to die? I know you have difficulties and have to come, how about..."
As he said that, a trace of pity flashed in the man's eyes, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket, and said: "There are a few taels of silver here, which should be enough for you to eat for a few days, think of other ways, don't come here."
Li Xiao's eyes suddenly turned subtle, he didn't reach out to pick it up, but asked thoughtfully: "Aren't you afraid that the people in Dongying will know if you do this?"
"The patrol just left, and no one saw it." The middle-aged man didn't take it seriously, "When you leave later, if anyone stops you, just say...Mr. Sato!"
Having said that, the middle-aged man suddenly looked behind Li Xiao with a frightened expression.
Behind Li Xiao, a young man with a handsome appearance but an evil spirit all over his body came over slowly, and said in a cold voice, "Liu Yiquan, you are so courageous!"
With a "plop", the middle-aged man immediately knelt on the ground and said in a panic, "Mr. Sato, spare me, the little one will never dare again!"
"no more chance."
The evil and charming young man's face was grim, and then a strange-shaped dagger appeared with a flip of his wrist, and with another shake, the dagger shot out, heading towards Liu Yiquan's door.
Liu Yiquan's face was pale, his whole body was stiff, his mind went blank, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out, holding the dagger flying in the air just right.
Li Xiao looked at the dagger in his hand, with a surprised expression on his face, and muttered, "This is...Kunai? Is it time to use it?"
The weapons he had seen in anime on TV before, he didn't expect that someone in this world would actually use them.
He was very curious, if this thing is used well in reality, is it really as magical as in the anime?
At this time, Liu Yiquan was sweating all over his body, but a few breaths passed, and the tingling pain he imagined did not come.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw the scene of Li Xiao playing with the dagger, and his brain froze immediately.
Could it be... this boy saved him?
"Ok?"
Seeing that his attack was easily dispelled by the boy in front of him, the evil young man frowned, and said coldly, "You caught my weapon with your bare hands?"
"Back to you!"
Li Xiao turned around, threw the dagger to the young man, and said with a smile, "If he made a mistake, he wouldn't kill him right away, right?"
"I'll kill him, what's your business?" The evil young man narrowed his eyes slightly.
"After all, there must be a reason." Li Xiao said blankly, "Are you Dongying people as arrogant and unreasonable as you?"
"Your dialogue is the reason, is it enough?"
"I know him, he gave me money, and let me go to work, is there a problem?" Li Xiao said slowly, "From the beginning to the end, he never said that he would not let me participate in the martial arts."
"You want to save him?"
The charming young man sneered and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance. You leave him to die, and you stay for three martial arts competitions, and he lives. A young martial arts master like you must learn from a famous teacher, right? I think it will be a good sharpening knife." stone."
"With you three times, his case will be written off." Li Xiao said flatly.
"Boy, you are crazy!"
The charming young man narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled again at random: "But I'm just crazy about it. Those guys in there are too timid. No one dared to fight for more than three games before running away."
After finishing speaking, the evil and charming youth turned around and left slowly.
Liu Yiquan, who was kneeling on the ground, let out a long breath, only then did he realize that his whole body was soaked in sweat.
Before he had time to think about anything else, he immediately knelt down and bowed to Li Xiao: "Thank you so much for helping me, my lord, I am very grateful."
"If it weren't for the few taels of silver and what you said just now, I wouldn't have helped you." Li Xiao said with a smile, "Register for me now!"
"it is good."
Liu Yiquan quickly took the money.
Now he still doesn't understand why, it's because of his own misjudgment.
The young man in front of him is definitely a master of concealment, how could he be short of a few dollars.
Liu Yiquan returned to his seat and picked up the pen. Just as he was about to write, he raised his head and asked, "My lord, do you have a name?"
"Name?" Li Xiao asked in surprise.
Liu Yiquan explained: "Because the opponent is from Dongying and has a noble status, but his fists and feet have no eyes, if he kills or maims the opponent, he may face a lot of trouble afterwards."
"Therefore, very few people here register with their real names, and generally use code names from the Jianghu."
"Then... Overlord Xiang Yu!"
This name suddenly appeared in Li Xiao's mind for no reason, almost casually.
"Huh?" Liu Yiquan was stunned.
"Can't you?"
"It's okay, it's just that the young master uses this name. If it is not good for the teacher, I am afraid that he will be reviled."
"Don't worry, I'm strong." Li Xiao said with a smile.
Liu Yiquan shook his head and said, "Master, your idea is very dangerous. Almost all the people who come here think so, but [-]% of them died in the ring."
"The death rate is so high?" Li Xiao asked in surprise, "Why did that person say that very few people participated in more than three games? Is there any explanation for that?"
"It's like this." Liu Yiquan said, "The two sides in the competition are usually matched according to their strength level. Once you win, your strength level will increase, and the opponent you arrange will be stronger."
"Strength level? What is it?" Li Xiao looked puzzled.
"From high to low, the strength of warriors is divided into four major ranks according to the heaven, earth, and yellow, and each rank is divided into upper, middle, and lower ranks." Liu Yiquan continued: "Generally, the Han people who come here default to the lower ranks of the yellow rank. This is the level that the young master registered."
"What? Yellow rank inferior? That won't work!"
Without even thinking about it, Li Xiao said, "Re-register for me!"
Liu Yiquan was stunned: "Isn't the son here to get food? If the registration level is too high, it will be very difficult to fight the first match."
"You don't have to worry about it, change it for me!"
"Which grade do you want to register, my lord?" Liu Yiquan asked helplessly.
"Heavenly." Li Xiao said calmly.
"Heavenly level?" Liu Yiquan was dumbfounded.
"Well, it still needs to be top grade." Li Xiao asked again after finishing speaking, "By the way, are there any higher grades?"
Liu Yiquan: "..."
Chapter 453: Being Fooled
Liu Yiquan looked at the young man in front of him, speechless.
He has seen crazy ones, but he has never seen such crazy ones.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was about to challenge a sky-level master.
That's heavenly!
There are only a handful of Yizhou City and even the entire Tang Dynasty, even if Dongying is here, there is only one.
crazy!
The kid must be crazy.
Liu Yiquan took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said: "Benefactor, I will not harm you, only the yellow rank is the best, at most it can be changed to the top rank of the yellow rank, so the enemy to fight in this way is still at the rank of a lieutenant."
"And the most important thing is that there are regulations here. Newcomers can only be registered as Xuan-level at most. If you want to challenge the Emperor of Japan, you are not qualified."
"Warrior of the Emperor?" Li Xiao was slightly puzzled.
"Warrior of the Emperor is the title of the strongest masters in Japan. Currently in Yizhou City is Kawahira Kuroba. That Mr. Sato just now is Kawahira Kuroha's disciple." Liu Yiquan explained.
"How strong is Chuanping Heiyu?" Li Xiao asked.
"No one has seen him make a move, but his record is enough to stand out in the world." Liu Yiquan continued, "Do you know my Great Tang's Great General Shenwei?"
Li Xiao frowned: "Li Changge?"
"Yes, it is said that Chuanping Heiyu captured General Li alive in the battle of Qizhou." Liu Yiquan shook his head lightly, "So you still want to challenge him?"
"It was him!"
Li Xiao's eyes suddenly burst out with a strong murderous look.
He has always been puzzled, Li Changge is already strong in martial arts, and with the weapons and armor he gave him, even if he can't beat him, he won't be captured alive.
But this Kawahira Kuroba did it.
It can be seen from this that this person's strength is indeed very strong, perhaps even stronger than Xue Rengui.
After pondering for a moment, Li Xiao asked: "How can I challenge this Kawahira Kuroba?"
"Benefactor, why are you so hard to think about it?" Liu Yi said helplessly.
"Stop talking nonsense, talk!"
"Hey, if you want to challenge Kawahira Kuroba, you have to defeat at least a few of his disciples first."
"The benefactor is now registered as Xuan-level, so he will have to fight two games at the fastest before he can challenge his disciple."
"That's it!" Li Xiao said without thinking, "When can we start?"
"It's fine in the afternoon, and it starts in another hour."
"Okay, where should I wait now?" Li Xiao nodded.
"This is a lounge specially prepared for Han people. Just go in and find a seat for your benefactor."
Liu Yiquan changed his expression as he spoke, and reminded in a low voice: "By the way, the benefactor must keep in mind that the people here are all weird people. The benefactor must remember to be cautious in his words and deeds. If there is trouble, he will face punishment."
"Weird?" Li Xiao thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you know a man named Su Changhe?"
"Su Changhe?" Liu Yiquan thought about it seriously, then shook his head, "I have no impression."
