Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1357: Chapter 1309: Zhao Yun’s Upright Face

”Indeed, no matter how good one’s talent is, it cannot compare to making seven in and seven out on a life-and-death chessboard.” Chen Xi looked in the direction of Li Tiao and said. Behind him, Hann Qiong had already started explaining. The moves Li Tiao previously used could basically only be executed with Inner Qi Manifestation.

”The critical moments between life and death are very stimulating for a person. Although the Channel Commanders of the Yellow Turbans do not have particularly exceptional talent, their luck and experience are very sufficient.” Hann Qiong replied with a sigh.

The battlefield is such a place, especially when the Battle of the Yellow Turban just started. It was really difficult for an ordinary civilian to survive there. It was not a place one could survive solely relying on talent. The Han Army aimed to annihilate the Yellow Turbans completely.

”Yun Lu, do well!” At this time, the women behind Liu Bei’s group collectively cheered. Ma Yunlu was the only woman in the examination field for military tactics, so even most of the onlookers, who were ordinary people, cheered for Ma Yunlu.

It’s inevitable for watching the excitement; having something different makes it interesting. It wouldn’t be good if Ma Yunlu was knocked out too early.

”What position do you think your apprentice’s niece’s fiancée can rank among this group?” Chen Xi leaned back and asked the unseen Hann Qiong.

”Not even in the top ten. That Li Tiao suppresses everyone present. If they go on the battlefield, after the Cloud Qi is stimulated, even Inner Qi Manifestation might be able to fight.” Hann Qiong sneered and said, ”Those using those abnormal weapons behind, none of them would be weaker than her.”

”Uh, it shouldn’t be that bad.” Chen Xi looked incredulous. Ma Yunlu was said to be at the peak level of Qi Refining to Gang, and Zhao Yun had tailored a lot of martial arts for her; she shouldn’t be that bad. Even if Ma Yunlu isn’t strong, with Zhao Yun’s support, she should be powerful.

Hann Qiong didn’t bother to answer. Although Chen Xi couldn’t see him, he felt the disdain in the other’s gaze and could only turn his head face forward with a look of helplessness.

At this moment, Ma Yunlu went up, riding a little red horse, and slowly began to run, then suddenly accelerated, charging forward quickly. Following an unknown action from Ma Yunlu, the little red horse reared suddenly.

At that moment, Ma Yunlu suddenly drew her bowstring, virtual strings, countless violet golden glows condensed on the bowstring, and then shot forward fiercely. After numerous violet golden beams burst out, they rapidly shot at the target, crazily cutting it into powder.

There was another round of cheering from behind. Although the move was not understood, the fact that both Li Tiao and Ma Yunlu turned the target into powder was enough for Mi Zhen and others to cheer. After all, there was only one woman participating in the examination, so all the other women came to shout and support.

Huang Yueying rarely showed an excited expression. She originally had no interest in military tactics, but unexpectedly, there was a female participant. Dragged here by Xu Ning, her initial gloom was replaced by excitement.

”See, see, I said she must not be weak if she dares to participate.” Xu Ning, hugging Huang Yueying, jumped up. She loved such activities that could prove women are not weaker than men.

”Alright, alright, Ning’er, don’t jump. I’m getting a bit dizzy.” Huang Yueying was somewhat unable to accept Xu Ning’s actions in public.

”I’m just too excited.” Xu Ning exclaimed, spinning and hugging another with a jump.

[Inner Qi Manifestation?] Li Tiao was somewhat tongue-tied, then reacted, knowing that if it was Inner Qi Manifestation, Zhao Yun would definitely not look for them to help intercept, [It seems it must be some means, appears to consume quite a lot. I can already see the fine sweat on her forehead.]

”Zilong even taught her this kind of move, huh.” Chen Xi said with a smile. He didn’t care whether Ma Yunlu could successfully vie for a ranking, but he had seen the archery technique Ma Yunlu displayed before, although the power was much smaller.

”Now announcing the results.” Zhao Yun coughed twice and began to announce the scores. Half the participants were eliminated, then the mounted archery directly entered the selection round.

”Completely useless. Even simple moves of Inner Qi Manifestation consume an enormous amount for those at Qi Refining to Gang. She simply cannot bear it.” Hann Qiong sneered and said, ”That move before may look great, but without someone to fight her, she’ll dismount before long.”

”The question is, how many on the field can block the previous move?” Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, ”If they can’t block it, why need two more tries?”

”Indeed, it’s reasonable in that regard, but relying on such moves is unfavorable for growth.” Hann Qiong thought for a moment and said, ”Moreover, it might not even hit.”

The group of eliminated people was already offstage to watch, and many excellent emergency doctors were in place. Although they advised restraint during competition, considering it’s a contest, to the martial Central Plains people, fighting moderately is not a way to victory.

”Gentlemen, please draw lots. Those with marked tags can choose their preferred battle method, while the opponent can only respond.” Zhao Yun ordered someone to bring a lottery box and started to explain the rules.

The thirty-two people quickly finished drawing, then unsurprisingly, Ma Yunlu hit the Hell Squad. Her first battle opponent was Chen Hong, and if she won, she would face Ni Ying and his opponent’s victor. The third battle, without surprises, would be Xue Prefecture or Hongdu, and if she continued to win the third, she would encounter the current ultimate boss of the Yellow Turbans, Li Tiao.

After the competition’s sequence revealed, the Zhang Clan chuckled while looking at Liu Bei, placing both hands on the side of her lower abdomen and asked, ”Xuande, why do I feel that there’s something wrong with this draw?”

”Absolutely no problem.” At this point, Chen Xi was also explaining to his wife.

”I don’t believe it!” Zhen Mi turned sideways to look at Chen Xi, answered on Fan Jian’s behalf, ”This is clearly the Hell Squad. The opponents Yun Lu encountered and will encounter obviously have issues.”

”Yun Lu, we’re watching you.” Mi Zhen waved in Ma Yunlu’s direction from afar, ”If you lose, we will get you an explanation.”

Hearing this, Ma Yunlu wiped her forehead with cold sweat, then looked up at Zhao Yun with a serious, slightly helpless expression, and turned to Mi Zhen and others, replying, ”It’s my unfortunate draw, but I will surely strive to win the championship!”

”See, I wasn’t lying to you.” Liu Bei reassured the Zhang Clan with a smile, and she, showing obvious helplessness, glanced at Zhao Yun in the distance. Zhao Yun’s sincere face and ever-resolute character left her speechless.

”How could Zilong do such a thing? Even if you don’t believe me, you should believe in Zilong.” Chen Xi turned his head with a face full of helplessness, Zhao Yun’s sincere face was so deceptive.

”Ah, Sister Yun Lu seems to be in trouble, she is General Zhao’s fiancée, and General Zhao didn’t give her a good draw.” Xu Ning, hearing this, hugged Huang Yueying’s arm with a face full of grievance.
