The final of the martial arts competition took place on the 26th day of the first lunar month.
As yesterday's winner, Yuan Hong will also participate in today's final.
The final round uses a draw-based elimination system; the loser is eliminated.
Su Ruojin and Su Wenzhou were very satisfied that Yuan Hong made it into the top 20. In addition, he was a little injured yesterday, so they told him not to push himself too hard and that it was not shameful to admit defeat if he couldn't win.
After all, he's only twelve years old, and it's already quite impressive that he's come this far.
Yuan Hong happened to draw one of Su Wenzhou's generals. Upon seeing this person, Su Wenzhou said to Yuan Hong, "Yuan Hong, you only need to exchange a few moves with Brother Zhang. You are no match for him."
Zhang Yuanjun also saw Su Wenzhou and came over to salute, saying, "This subordinate greets General Su."
“Yuan Jun, you and Yuan Hong exchange a few blows, and while you’re at it, give the child some pointers.”
Yuan Hong was also very perceptive. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhang Yuanjun and said, "Yuan Hong greets Brother Zhang. Please give me your guidance."
Zhang Yuanjun naturally knew Yuan Hong; he was the youngest of the twenty winners, and he never expected to be drawn against him today.
Seeing Yuan Hong's polite manner, he felt a sense of goodwill towards the child. In addition, he could also see that General Su and Yuan Hong had a close relationship, so he would not refuse to give Su Wenzhou face.
"General Su, please rest assured, I will not harm Yuan Hong."
The two went up on stage, and Yuan Hong fought Zhang Yuanjun for dozens of rounds before finally sheathing his sword, saying, "Yuan Hong is no match for Brother Zhang, and I admit defeat."
After this exchange, Zhang Yuanjun was secretly surprised. Although Yuan Hong was no match for him now, the decisiveness and composure Yuan Hong displayed in the exchange were unmatched by ordinary people.
He was certain that this child would achieve great things in the future, and he felt a greater sense of respect for Yuan Hong. "Yuan Hong, train hard, and you will surely surpass me in the future."
"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Zhang."
Yuan Hong was very happy to receive Brother Zhang's affirmation.
During his recent sparring match with Zhang Yuanjun, Yuan Hong felt that his opponent was teaching him move by move.
Although he lost the match, he learned a lot.
Meanwhile, the other groups also determined their winners.
After the final five winners were selected, a shrill voice announced, "Your Majesty, the Regent has arrived."
The crowd knelt down in unison, chanting, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Regent!"
Xiao Chenyi raised his hand, "Get up, everyone."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Xiao Chenyi and Xiao Yanchu took their seats, the final competition officially began.
The five contestants continued with an elimination tournament, and the winner was Wei Xuebin, the second place winner was Zhang Yuanjun, and the third place winner was a martial arts practitioner named Fan Yang.
After announcing the rankings, Wei Xuebin glanced at Su Wenzhou, who was watching from the sidelines, his eyes filled with smugness.
Previously, Su Wenzhou was always suppressed because he was a higher-ranking official. From today onwards, he will at least be able to sit on equal footing with Su Wenzhou.
Soon, he will surely make Su Wenzhou kneel before him and beg for mercy.
"Next up is the challenge round. Anyone who disagrees can come up on stage and challenge the winner," the competition emcee announced.
Generally speaking, those who are willing to participate in the competition have already registered and competed, and these people are no longer allowed to go on stage to challenge.
Most of the others were ordinary people watching the spectacle, and it was even less likely that they would participate.
Previous competitions emphasized stopping short of causing serious injury or death, but the challenge is different. Life and death are irrelevant, and the winner can directly replace the challenger's ranking and wait to be challenged by others.
In the past, some people have tried to challenge it, and they were all killed on the fighting stage.
