Chapter 309 A Possibility of Taking Part in Person
Seeing that it was Gongsun Ce who came, Zhang Zhiwei stood up and bowed to Gongsun Ce and said, "Greetings to this senior. I wonder what important matter has brought you to see me so late at night?"
Gongsun Ce smiled indifferently and asked, "Are you interested in going out and having some fun?"
When Zhang Zhiwei heard this, he couldn't help but feel curious about what Gongsun Ce meant.
So he asked straightforwardly: "What do you mean, senior?"
Gongsun Ce showed a somewhat subtle smile and said to Zhang Zhiwei: "Of course, it is to let you have a young body so that you can go on the field and fight with these young people."
What Gongsun Ce wanted to do was very simple. With his current attainments in alchemy and the insights he gained over the years, he could already easily mold a doll.
And he wanted the puppet to exert certain power under his control, so he planned to help Zhang Zhiwei create a puppet and let Zhang Zhiwei control the puppet and play with it himself.
He was curious about how interesting this scene would be, even though the puppet could never match the power of the original.
However, judging from Zhang Zhiwei's many years of practice of the Golden Light Mantra, even if he used the Golden Light Mantra with insufficient power, he could still make some great use of it and could easily crush most of the younger generation.
Only a few people, such as Wang Ye, require some effort. Others fall down with just one slap, and Wang may even need two slaps.
After listening to Gongsun Ce's suggestion, Zhang Zhiwei pondered for a moment and then readily agreed. To be honest, if possible, he wouldn't mind going on the field himself to slap everyone who was blocking Zhang Chulan in the face. However, he was already at this age and it would not make sense for him to go on the field again.
Moreover, their Tianshi Mansion is, after all, an orthodox Taoist sect. If they are really doing something shady and someone finds out, it will not be good if the news gets out.
It was not until Zhang Zhiwei took the position of Heavenly Master that he finally understood Zhang Jingqing's helplessness at the time.
So the next day, when the drawing of lots began outside the Luotian University venue, a young figure walked out of Zhang Zhiwei's room in the Tianshi Mansion.
The figure was wearing the navy blue Taoist robe of the Tianshi Mansion. His hair was not long and looked very messy.
A bunch of hair gathered here, slightly curled, and a bunch of hair gathered there, but stood straight up.
This makes the young man's hairstyle look particularly sharp, and coupled with his small eyes and wide whites of the eyes, he looks like a strong man.
This person was none other than a temporary body created by Gongsun Ce for Zhang Zhiwei. He could also be simply understood as a puppet controlled by Zhang Zhiwei.
The specific data of the puppet was provided by Zhang Zhiwei himself, and he was not afraid of others finding out what the relationship between this body and him was.
So Zhang Zhiwei simply asked Gongsun Ce to make such a doll based on his appearance and physical data when he was young.
In addition to making a puppet for Zhang Zhiwei, Gongsun Ce also made a puppet for himself to take his place, just to join in the fun.
I saw a young man wearing a black suit jacket and with pure white hair walking towards the place where the lot drawing was taking place outside the Luotian Grand Ceremony.
This figure was exactly the puppet that Gongsun Ce made for himself.
After the doll made by Gongsun Ce drew the lot, the little Taoist priest next to the wooden box asked Gongsun Ce about the identity information of the doll made by Gongsun Ce.
"Sir, please show me your ID."
The reason why the puppet made by Gongsun Ce was asked to show his identity letter was, on the one hand, to confirm whether the age of the puppet Gongsun Ce met the requirement of being under 30 years old for participating in the Luotian Dajiao.
The second thing is to confirm whether the doll made by Gongsun Ce has been registered. You should know that the reason why their Tianshi Mansion announced this process is because they have already counted how many candidates have registered for the competition.
That’s why there will be four people fighting against each other in the first round, and the winner will enter the next round of qualifying.
However, the puppet of Gongsun Ce was made at the same time as the puppet of Zhang Zhiwei.
Zhang Zhiwei himself was the person in charge of the Tianshi Mansion, so he easily entered the identity information of the two people into their registration system.
But it was also a coincidence that although there were three more extraordinary people participating in the competition, namely Zhang Zhiwei, Gongsun Ce, and Wang Zhenqiu, it just so happened that three extras who were supposed to participate in the competition suddenly chose to withdraw.
Therefore, even if there were three more contestants, it would not affect the arrangements for subsequent events.
When everyone has finished drawing lots, today's qualifying competition officially begins
Logically speaking, today is just a qualifying round, which is to screen out truly capable young people for subsequent competitions. There shouldn't be too many big guys paying attention to these things.
However, it can be seen that in addition to Zhang Zhiwei, the person controlling the puppet, Tian Jinzhong, Lu Jin, Wang Ai and Lu Ci were also watching this event in the audience.
Maybe it was because Zhang Zhiwei suddenly wanted to come here to watch the game, which aroused the curiosity of others.
That's why they came together to watch today's qualifying match, which was supposed to be insignificant.
After the first few games were over, under the strange looks of Tian Jinzhong, Lu Jin and others, Zhang Zhiwei controlled the puppet with his mind and walked onto the field.
The messy hair, the wide Taoist robe, and the sharp eyes are exactly the same as when Zhang Zhiwei was young.
Seeing the appearance of the puppet, Lu Jin felt a little suspicious. He could still remember that at the Lu family's birthday party, Zhang Zhiwei slapped him in the face, causing him to burst into tears and create a huge embarrassment.
So Lu Jin, who was outspoken, simply asked Zhang Zhiwei next to him: "Old Taoist priest, why does this young man look so familiar? Is he related to you in any way?"
When Zhang Zhiwei heard Lu Jin's question, he smiled but said nothing.
Lu Jin was really making fun of him. As everyone knows, Zhang Zhiwei has always been abiding by his duties and has never touched a woman, so how could he have offspring?
However, Zhang Zhiwei did not answer Lu Jin's question.
Tian Jinzhong, who was beside Zhang Zhiwei, was a little curious. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother, I think this young man looks exactly like you when you were young. Could it be that you really have had a child outside..."
Tian Jinzhong's words made Zhang Zhiwei frown, and then Zhang Zhiwei slapped Tian Jinzhong's wheelchair.
He said with a little anger: "Junior brother, I have always stayed in the mountain and never left the mountain. How could I have a illegitimate child?"
But right after Zhang Zhiwei finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. You could say he could use any other template to make a doll, but he had to use his own appearance when he was young as a template to make one.
However, after Zhang Zhiwei pretended to be angry, the other people immediately lost their curiosity and just thought it might be an accident.
Then, under their somewhat strange gazes, Zhang Zhiwei controlled his puppet to sit down on the field, waiting for the other three aliens to come on stage.
Zhang Zhiwei's sitting posture was very domineering, with his left leg bent in front of him, his right leg arched and his right foot on the ground. His right hand was resting on his right knee, and his whole body was leaning slightly backward.
Tian Jinzhong glanced at Zhang Zhiwei and thought to himself: Even your sitting postures are exactly the same, and you still say you have no relationship?
Soon, three strange people walked into the place where Zhang Zhiwei's puppet was.
Seeing his opponent enter the arena, Zhang Zhiwei controlled the puppet to stand up slowly. "Pah!"*3
The puppet dodged and before the three aliens could react, it slapped them down one by one.
Three consecutive slaps were heard, and the three aliens fell straight down.
"Fuck!"
"That's awesome!"
"Strong!"
The strangers in the audience saw what was happening in the venue and started swearing.
This slightly familiar style made Lu Jin and Tian Jinzhong look at Zhang Zhiwei with a bit of surprise.
Are you kidding? As a group of old-generation extraordinary people, everyone knows that when Zhang Zhiwei was young, he never used a second move when fighting.
A slap made Lu Jin burst into tears, a slap blocked Zhang Huaiyi's thunder method, and a slap knocked Wu Gensheng down...
If Zhang Zhiwei had not inherited the Heavenly Master's position and restrained his character, he would not have been called the top master in the world of extraordinary people, but the Palm Master.
To put it in a more modern way, Zhang Zhiwei can also be called Brother Ying who was slapped in the face.
Especially Lu Jin and Tian Jinzhong, they both knew this deeply, as Lu Jin had been severely beaten by Zhang Zhiwei.
As for Tian Jinzhong, he had seen the scene where Zhang Zhiwei slapped Wu Gensheng to the ground.
When Zhang Zhiwei was young, it was almost the same when he fought with a group of fellow disciples and older uncles from the Tianshi Temple. They would be knocked down with one slap, and it was rare to see Zhang Zhiwei use a second move.
Zhang Zhiwei felt the strange looks from the two old friends around him, so he simply chose to ignore them and continued to watch the game below.
Zhang Zhiwei's puppet has already appeared, but the puppet controlled by Gongsun Ce has not yet appeared.
After Zhang Zhiwei knocked down three aliens with one slap, the puppet controlled by Gongsun Ce also came on the stage.
A puppet in a black suit appeared on the field, calmly looking at the three aliens opposite who were eyeing him covetously.
Since the puppet he controlled came on the stage a little late, the three opponents had already planned to unite and eliminate him first, and then the three of them would decide the winner.
After all, those who came late to the qualifying round seemed to look down on the three of them. How could this make them feel good?
They felt like their self-esteem was being trampled on.
Gongsun Ce looked at the three strange people opposite him. After observing the routes of the theft inside the bodies of these three strange people, he found that these three people were all practicing martial arts, which could be considered a kind of fate.
He smiled and clapped his hands forward.
"boom!"
Just as Gongsun Ce controlled the puppet to slap out with his palm, invisible changes seemed to occur between heaven and earth.
A palm print as high as five or six people was slapped out, just like slapping flies, and the three strange people were directly slapped into the wall, leaving three human-shaped shallow pits on the wooden wall.
Looking at Gongsun Ce who also subdued three young men with a slap, Lu Jin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Lu Jin looked at Zhang Zhiwei and asked, "Old Heavenly Master, I think the palm strike from this young man is quite powerful.
But from my knowledge, I can't tell which martial art this is from. Do you know the martial art of this young man?"
Zhang Zhiwei also shook his head and said, "Old Lu, I don't know his origins either. You know, there are many hermit sects in this world."
After hearing what Zhang Zhiwei said, Lu Jin didn't care about this matter and just understood it according to what Zhang Zhiwei said.
The strange people in this world began to gradually hide their identities and became disconnected from the world of ordinary people.
Therefore, many sects of aliens actually choose to live in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests and will not easily appear, because they also feel that the aliens are gradually becoming unable to adapt to this world.
It’s okay for those who practice martial arts and possess innate supernatural powers. There is no problem for them to travel and they won’t attract attention.
However, it is difficult for those who practice weapons. They cannot pass security checks with weapons, and parading around the city with weapons will also attract attention.
The day passed quickly and the competition among the top 32 was soon over.
Among the top 32, there are no major changes except for the addition of Wang Zhenqiu, Gongsun Ce and Zhang Zhiwei.
So, after all the preliminaries were over that day, a new round of draws began, but any discerning person could tell there was something wrong with this round of draws.
Because Zhang Zhiwei just stood next to the wooden box for drawing lots, and said to the artists around him: "Dear friends, the rules of this draw are as follows: you just come up and draw a slip of paper, and the name that appears on the slip is the contestant you should face in the next round."
The rule that Zhang Zhiwei mentioned is really full of loopholes. How can he guarantee that the player that everyone draws will definitely be the other party?
Simply put, if Zhang Chulan can draw a note with the three words "Shan Shitong" on it, how can Zhang Zhiwei ensure that Shan Shitong can also draw a note with the three words "Zhang Chulan" on it?
It was obvious that Zhang Zhiwei had already arranged the names of the two teams that would be competing against each other, so the names on the slips they drew must be the players who had already been arranged, and could not be anyone else.
Although it seemed like there was something fishy going on, no one said anything more.
Therefore, the drawing of lots was completed quickly and everyone returned to their own rooms to begin resting.
Even though the opponents in the qualifiers are not formidable opponents, fighting them still requires a certain amount of mental effort.
Therefore, the players did not engage in any unnecessary activities and returned to their own rooms to rest or practice in preparation for tomorrow's competition.
As night fell, Feng Baobao took out the map he had prepared long ago and prepared to bury the people.
During the day, Feng Baobao was drawn for the first game.
After the Xiao Taoyuan trio admitted defeat, Feng Baobao bought a map of Longhu Mountain and began to wander around the mountain, preparing the corresponding tools and marking the burial locations. He waited until this time to go out and bury the contestant who would face Zhang Chulan tomorrow.
Therefore, just when Zhang Chulan was lying on the bed preparing to go to sleep, the door of the room he was in was suddenly kicked open by Feng Baobao.
"Zhang Chulan, let's go!"
