's more, Wang Lin was a graduate of a key university."It's okay, I'm used to it. During peak season, the working hours are longer."Wang Lin has always been unassuming, as if everything was natural. He...Wang Lin ascended to the throne of first place, and all eyes were on him.

"What! You're bullying an old person!"

“It's just going in circles, there's nothing interesting about it.”

As the saying goes, "The expert sees the door while the layman sees the commotion." This competition held no interest for outsiders, but those participating in the martial arts trial each had a heavy look in their eyes.

Put yourself in his shoes, how long could you have lasted under that attack just now That kid is too fast!

One round has come to an end, the third round is about to begin, and everyone is starting to put in their effort. In fact, after this round ends, the final rankings will be almost set.

But Zhou obviously places great importance on rankings, as the difference between any two positions can result in a huge disparity in profit distribution within the industry.

We intentionally left two more rounds to give everyone ample opportunities to challenge. We want to make sure the rankings are widely recognized and prevent anyone from saying there weren't enough chances to improve their standing afterward.

Currently, Huang Mou, ranked fifth, chose to challenge the second-ranked player. The two entered the arena and wasted no time, directly engaging in battle.

After several moves, Huang smiled and bowed.

"Accepted!"

"The silkworm weaver lives up to her name, Wu admires her!"

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the fifth-place seat. Huang, who had originally wanted to be more polite, saw this and didn't mind. He went straight to the second place throne.

As soon as he sat down, he turned his head to look at Wang Lin, “How is it My entangling hands still good”

Wang Lin nodded seriously. "Senior's skills are profound, and there should be no one in the audience who can rival you."

"Well, of course! Want to learn"

Wang Lin looked at Zhou Mo with some surprise, "Senior, what is this"

"Alas! Poor me, I'm over half a century old and still haven't found a suitable successor. You seem promising, young man. Would you be interested in carrying on my legacy"

"My senior advisor is joking, I already have a master,"

"It's alright, you don't have to take me as your master. Just pass on my skills."

Looking at Zhou's expectant gaze, Wang Lin felt a bit downcast.

"Shouldn't seniors be able to even find a messenger"

"Hey! Your master definitely didn't tell you about the current state of martial arts. Post-establishment policies are no longer suitable for the development of martial arts."

"The emergence of a large number of "kung fu masters" nowadays has further damaged the reputation of our martial arts, and the younger generation is losing interest in them."

This makes it even more difficult for us to find someone to take over! And don't even mention finding a genius with such amazing physical abilities like you.

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, senior. I've only just begun my training and am still at the very beginning of my martial arts journey. I don't have the energy to cultivate other skills right now."

"Alright then, from now on just let me know if you want to practice, little brother. I'll definitely teach you everything I know, without holding back!"

Wang Lin originally wanted to refuse directly, but seeing Huang's pitiful look, he softened his heart a little.

"Good! When the time is right, I will visit you in person!"

Huang's expression, which had been somewhat listless, instantly transformed into one of surprise.

"No problem, I'm ready whenever!"

Zhu Ge Pi, who was sitting on the third chair, had been listening intently. When he heard Wang Lin agree to Zhou Mo's request, he immediately and eagerly said,

"Little brother, I'm here too! Old me is willing to teach you everything! Take old me with you!"

When Zhou someone heard the voice of Zhuge Pi, he was instantly furious.

"Old man! What's with you always butting in Don't you have apprentices"

Zhuge Liang thought of his disciple, a face full of anger and frustration, and angrily said.

"You've seen my apprentice, haven't you He's not even a tenth as capable as that little brother of yours! If I weren't worried about my lineage dying out, I wouldn't take him on as an apprentice!"

When Zhou remembered Zhuge Liang's disciple, half of his anger dissipated. That disciple was truly like Wu Dalang playing tricks – a simpleton who couldn't express himself well. At the time, he had even ridiculed Zhuge Liang for carrying stones up a mountain.

"There has to be a line, you wait behind!"

"Okay, okay, you go first."

Wang Lin's head was now filled with black lines. There are people who rush to be his disciple

"You are all masters of true martial arts, you wouldn't even be able to take in a decent apprentice, would you"

This time, it was Zhuge Pifu's turn to put on a pitiful expression. He sniffled and cried to Wang Lin, complaining.

"Brother, you wouldn't believe how hard our lives are! Our small sect is insignificant. Nobody takes us seriously. When it comes to taking disciples, others don't even consider us! It's so miserable!"

Wang Lin stared blankly at Zhuge Pi, completely unprepared for his exaggerated reaction to the topic of taking an apprentice. One would think Wang Lin had treated him badly and now denied knowing him.

"Uh, senior, please calm down, take it easy."

Zhu Ge Pi completely ignored Wang Lin and still, with a face full of resentment, poured out his grievances.

"Stop, Senior Zhuge, I've agreed. The conditions are the same as Senior Huang's!"

Wang Lin looked at the people below, all looking at him strangely. He didn't know how they would arrange themselves in their minds. For his reputation, he could only grit his teeth and agree.

Hearing Wang Lin's agreement, Zhuge PiFu's expression instantly changed. He looked at Wang Lin with surprise and delight, just like a little wife who had gotten her sweetheart.

"Little one, you're still out of reach I've lived for decades in vain! Haha, the future generation is promising! I wouldn't disappoint my master and ancestors!"

He was secretly pleased, but kept a poker face. He smiled at Wang Lin, looking at him more and more favorably, wishing he could have Wang Lin replace his own clumsy apprentice right now.

"Haha, thanks little brother. Just like Lao Huang, we're always waiting. I'll send you the address first."

Wang Lin didn't speak, he just nodded lightly.

Matters came to a close, and the three of them turned their gazes towards the arena. For the three of them, the competition was practically over.

After Huang challenged just now, it was the fourth person's turn to challenge. However, that person knew they were no match for the top three and directly gave up, which gave the three of them enough time.

At this point, the fourth round of competition has already begun. Besides a few who are still challenging, most people have already given up.

Until the fifth round began, the martial arts trial officially reached its climax. Everyone started to give it their all, challenging with everything they had. The battles on the field became increasingly intense, with no holding back or regard for stamina, only the exhilaration of a truly fierce fight.

The cheers from the audience rose and fell in waves, one after another. But with the strength on display, you no longer held back, nor did anyone else. So although it was very entertaining to watch, the changes in the rankings weren't very significant.

Only two people capsized in the ditch and were defeated by their opponents.

The competition was nearing its end, but to everyone's surprise, Wang Lin wasn't targeted as they had expected. Just his speed during the battle with Huang proved terrifying enough.

"The martial arts test is officially over!"

"First place! Wang Lin!"

"Second place! Huang Zhongyi!"

"Third place! Zhuge Dali!"

The audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, which lasted for a long time.

Zhou Zhihao pressed his hand down slightly, and the noise from the audience gradually subsided.

“Thank you masters for the exhilarating battle you've brought us. The scores have been recorded. Now, the written exam begins. Please, contestants, head to the Scholarly Pavilion.”

"The written test is not for public viewing, please forgive me, masters. Now you can all go back to rest."

Everyone nodded in agreement and turned to leave.keep it up next time."He looked at the wine in his hand, quite satisfied. Well, it was his favorite kind, but he had never mentioned it to Wang Lin, hadn't he Could it be a coincidenceChen Yenan look...
