Chapter 6832 Optimizing the Competition

Chapter 6832 Optimizing the Competition
The love-hate relationship between Jiang Guang and this generation of veterans in their forties mainly lies in the fact that when others call him uncle, he just nods silently.

As for beating Zhao Ying, working part-time as the captain of the street militia, oppressing Zhao Ying to the extreme, leading the team to Changshan to cause trouble, and fighting with Jiang Xi in the wild, compared with a lot of veterans who are more knowledgeable than Jiang Guang and have called Jiang Guang Uncle, this is nothing.

After all, Jiang Guang had a face of a 40-year-old when he was only 16 years old. He had indeed worked under Huangfu Song and even showed his face. Considering that the war was too cruel and most of the veterans would not have lived to this age without Chen Xi, Huangfu Song knew Jiang Guang when Jiang Guang was not as famous as he is now, so his qualifications are real.

But the seniority is real, which does not mean that the old soldiers who have called Jiang Guang uncle for almost ten years can accept the fact that Jiang Guang is almost the same age as them, or even younger than them. After all, in Yuan Fengnian's blind date, a guy like Jiang Guang who claims to be in his early thirties and in his prime, but has a face of more than forty years old, really needs to be carefully verified.

You can’t just say you are in your early thirties and that means you are in your early thirties, right!
Jiang Guang produced sufficient evidence to prove that he was indeed in his early thirties. After all, not all of his fellow villagers had died.

To be honest, Jiang Guang was carrying a heavy burden by doing this, but considering the Jiang family's incense, Jiang Guang decisively chose to reveal his age. Brother, I just look old, but I am actually only in my thirties. After all, given the situation at that time, if Jiang Guang did not reveal his age, he would have to rely on himself and would never expect to find such a suitable wife in his life.

After getting married, he decided to run away because he realized that if he stayed in the military camp, he would easily be bullied.

This was also the root cause of the fight between Jiang Xu and Jiang Guang. Jiang Xu had called Jiang Guang uncle for almost ten years, and Jiang Guang and Jiang Xu were the same age.

What's the point of talking? Today, I, Jiang Xu, will weigh you, Jiang Guang, to see how much you are capable of.

It can be said that all the troubles that Jiang Fei and Jiang Guang always have with finding faults over trivial matters are due to this incident. What's even more outrageous is that Jiang Fei successfully stimulated his potential under Jiang Guang's beating. Of course, to be honest, Jiang Fei is more of a natural talent. With a density of 1.5, he killed almost all carbon-based creatures violently. Relying on this innate phenomenon, Jiang Fei is almost the only man who can withstand Jiang Guang's second-level demon beating with his bare hands, and can even break Jiang Guang's bones in return!

By the way, this was also the key reason why Gu Xi became a cancer during the Jizhou case. If it were someone else, Zhao Du and his group would have found an opportunity to kill him long ago.

Gu Xi is dedicated to the people, and Jiang Xu believes in Gu Xi's character and has been protecting him closely. Under such circumstances, Zhao Du and his group have no way to kill Gu Xi.

To put it bluntly, even if the internal energy leaves the body and goes to Changshan Prefecture, in order to kill Gu Xi, he must first pass Jiang Fei. And ordinary internal energy leaving the body, to kill this T0 level fully equipped god...

It's not that he can't be killed, but if he really does, it will require a big noise. When it comes to someone like Jiang Fei, who is wearing 430 armor, guarding the city by himself and can mobilize the cloud energy at will, even if his internal energy leaves his body, he can only be killed by force. There is basically no hope of relying on assassination.

It was precisely because of Jiang Xu that Gu Xi was able to succeed in blackmailing others. Otherwise, did he really think that the knife could not be put to his neck?

"Jiang Fei thought that Jiang Guang hadn't arrived yet, so he took the first place and got the first number. Then he prevented Jiang Guang from playing. After all, the competition system will also have team competitions, or at least arena competitions. As a tough guy who has joined the third brother, even if Jiang Guang came, the third brother would not deliberately replace the core of the team if the strength gap is not big." Chen Xi said helplessly.

This behavior is essentially just finding some small faults to disgust each other. After all, there is no big grudge. It's just calling each other uncle for ten years, so it's not a big problem.

Although Jiang Guang is extremely strong, he can easily get a core position in other teams. After all, there is a huge gap between most veterans and Jiang Guang. But Jiang Fei is different. It is true that Jiang Fei is weaker than Jiang Guang, but his weakness is limited. In a fist-to-flesh fight, Jiang Guang can break Jiang Fei's leg, and Jiang Fei can also fracture Jiang Guang's arm.

With such a small gap, Zhang Fei would still follow the principle of first come first served. After all, there is a big gap in strength, and the capable ones should be promoted and the mediocre ones should be demoted. But when the gap in strength is not obvious, the principle of first come first served is very important.

"Has General Huangfu's team reported in?" Liu Bei asked Fa Zheng.

"We have reported it. It's the trio of Xia Yi, Jiang Guang and Ma Ye." Fa Zheng answered casually.

"As for Xia Yi, isn't he from the Yuan family?" Liu Bei said with some surprise.

"How many veteran soldiers of the previous generation can tell General Huangfu who they are from?" Chen Xi said speechlessly, "They are all from the Han family. General Huangfu is recruiting people as the General of Chariots and Cavalry of the Han Dynasty. What can the Yuan family say? Don't they agree with the General of Chariots and Cavalry of the Han Dynasty?"

The General of the Cavalry has fallen. Huangfu Song is already the most senior one. Let alone Yuan Tan, even if Yuan Shao crawls out of the dirt, he has to listen to Huangfu Song's command. Asking you to participate in the competition and greeting you is to give you face. If I don't give you face, I will recruit you myself. Who do you think you are?
"Actually, quite a few people from the Yuan family came." Guo Jia flipped through the official documents and said, "Yuan family's strategist Xun Chen is personally leading the team back to the country this time, accompanied by Cyprian and Sima Zhongda. As for the military officer, Chunyu Qiong's main responsibility is actually to accompany General Huangfu. Everyone knows the reason. After all, Chunyu Qiong is probably the most used bodyguard for General Huangfu these days."

There was no other way. All the other subordinates were dead, and only Chunyu Qiong was still alive. If Huangfu Song didn't use Chunyu Qiong, who else could he use? Using Chunyu Qiong at least proved that he was nostalgic, and everyone would feel more at ease.

"No wonder they sent the concubine here." Jia Xu instantly understood the situation of the Yuan family. The chief strategist had come, and Chunyu Qiong, the most senior military general of the Yuan family, had also come. In this situation, the only ones who could lead a team were Yuan Tan or the Wen family.

However, Yuan Tan is unlikely to attend the meeting, and Wen has to take care of the children, so it is impossible for her to travel all the way here. So Stina, who is barely qualified, can only be the mistress to lead the team. Although Xun Chen can still function without leading the team, the level of the team will be somewhat strange.

"It's fate." Zhuge Liang said calmly, "At other times, Lord Yuan would probably prefer not to let General Chunyu come, or not let Xun Youruo come, and just form a regular team to attend the meeting."

From the legal, seniority and authority perspective, it would be enough for Xun Chen or Chunyu Qiong to lead the team. Even though the end of the second five-year plan and the beginning of the third five-year plan are indeed very important nodes, there are also elderly people from the Yuan family in Chang'an. Any one of these two can lead the team, and Siprian and Sima Yi can also be brought along to solve all problems.

However, Yuan Tan chose to let Chunyu Qiong follow Huangfu Song to Chang'an, and let Xun Chen lead the team to Chang'an. After the Nordic war was over, he let Stina go to Chang'an on his behalf. In essence, this was to express his attitude - it doesn't matter what you Romans think, Stina, a concubine of Celtic origin, can exercise the authority of the Yuan family on my behalf. Come, feel it for yourself!

"Very good." Chen Xi looked at the wind and snow outside the door and spoke calmly. It was good that Yuan Tan had such a clear understanding. Chen Xi didn't care about trivial matters, but he still had to distinguish between right and wrong in major issues.

"Lord Xuande, didn't you form a team?" Chen Xi glanced at Fengxue, then turned his head to look at Liu Bei and asked, "After all, there are team competitions."

"No, it's easy for something to go wrong if I form a team." Liu Bei sighed. If he formed a team, something might go wrong if he didn't get first place, and something might go wrong if he tried to get first place, so forget it.

"I heard that the princess is actively organizing a team." Jia Xu said with a hint of sarcasm, "She even paid a sum of money from the treasury as a reward for the finalists. Many veterans in Weiyang Palace are very active, and the combat effectiveness of several veterans is improving by leaps and bounds."

"They are from the Dayuezhi, right?" Chen Xi no longer wanted to delve into the matter. Liu Bei had told Chen Xi that there were diligent veterans from the Dayuezhi mixed in with the imperial guards in Chang'an. Considering that these veterans really didn't do anything, and those who could come here were truly elites who had accumulated merits on the battlefield, Chen Xi didn't want to treat them badly because of their background, so he just let it go.

"Well, there are already veterans who have burst out with the sixth-level extreme level of combat power. Ruan Liangyu even reported to me specifically that his chances of making the top 300 have dropped again." Guo Jia said with a somewhat teasing tone. To be honest, if possible, Guo Jia still hopes that Ruan Liangyu will win a place through the competition system. It is a bit excessive for a big shot like him to cheat and let Ruan Liangyu enter the competition.

However, Guo Jia had actually made mental preparations. Once things went wrong, he would cheat and let Ruan Liangyu qualify. No matter how the opponent was having problems in actual combat now, it was because of the injury he suffered while protecting him. What's more, he was still at the sixth level after all, so even if it was cheating, it was reasonable!

"As for the Dayuezhi, I can understand. In fact, if the princess forms a team herself, I can understand even if the veterans of the Dayuezhi explode to the seventh level." Fa Zheng said expressionlessly. As a person who has conducted in-depth research on the Dayuezhi, Fa Zheng is very familiar with the perversions of this group of people.

"Zichuan, why don't you form one?" Liu Bei asked with some curiosity. Chen Xi's presence in the army was not too strong, but the veterans still had a very good impression of Chen Xi. After all, this old man really took care of everyone's food and drink.

"I formed a group of six people." Chen Xi curled his lips, "I formed a group of six people."

Everyone present was stunned. What was going on? Chen Xi actually participated in this kind of activity and personally recruited people to form a group. This was too unbelievable.

"Since I had nothing to do, I went out for a wander and happened to meet a group of veterans. I asked them if they wanted to help me form a team and fight for me. Han Mou was there too, so we each formed a team." Chen Xi said after thinking for a while.

"Tell me the name." Liu Bei became interested. He didn't believe what Chen Xi said, that he just formed a six-man team on a whim. This guy must have done something premeditated.

"Wang Kui, Meng Huai, Zhou Wu, Yu Fu, Fang He, and Qingyang." Chen Xi had no intention of hiding anything and directly reported the names.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei lowered his head and thought, and began to combine the talents of these six people in his mind. After a while, he looked at Chen Xi with a strange look.

"It seems that except Meng Huai who is at the sixth level, the others are at the fifth level." As the Chief Censor, Li You is involved in the promotion of bureaucrats, so most veterans need to go through Li You after they retire. Although Li You basically will not reject Liu Bei's opinions, Li You will look at the information and achievements of each one, so Li You at least knows the names and battle records of most veterans above the fifth level.

"Well, except Meng Huai, the others are all fifth level." Chen Xi nodded. "In fact, the difference between fifth and sixth level is not that big. At this level, it is more about coordination. In fact, I was originally planning to add Fu Ji, but considering the upper limit of control, I chose Yu Fu."

"That's an idea." Liu Bei nodded slowly after a while. He knew these veterans much better than anyone else, and he also had a deep enough understanding of their talent structure and combat methods, so he quickly understood Chen Xi's structural logic.

"After all, it's a martial arts performance, so it's a good opportunity to try out new tactics. We can't just do it for fun." Chen Xi said with a smile, and everyone present nodded when they heard it.

"From the fact that veterans from the Sharp Warriors and School Swordsmen have been frequently entering my second brother's house recently, I guess my second brother is also researching new tactics." Liu Bei stroked his beard and smiled, "However, the first match of the Grand Martial Arts Show is a chaotic escape and kill points match. We cannot guarantee that we will be together when we enter, nor can we guarantee that the team will not encounter tough opponents before reuniting."

"Luck is also part of strength." Liu Ye said calmly, "By the way, this is also a way to suppress lone wolves. After all, war depends on the collective."

"That's right." Liu Bei didn't think there was a problem. "But we still need to give the team a chance to reunite. So what's the maximum size of the team?"

"Six people, one captain and five subordinates, which is the smallest team we can form." Chen Xi has already found a team of six people, so how can he ask others to change his rules? The real big guys will have already locked in their advantages before the battle.

"Do you have any objections?" Liu Bei looked around and asked.

"Give Lord Cang some face. This concerns what I can eat during the New Year." Fa Zheng smiled.

"It's simple. I'll give Zichuan face." Guo Jia echoed. The two looked at each other and were both happy. Others had no objection to such details.

"How is the construction of the venue going?" Liu Bei asked Liu Yan.

"We are still working overtime, but we have asked Master Zixu and Immortal Master Nandou to conduct tests. There is a certain degree of risk." Liu Yan closed the plan in his hand and spoke with a bit of melancholy.

"What's the danger?" Liu Bei asked with a frown.

“Probably because the old warriors of Weiyang Palace were asked to test it some time ago. The old warriors can severely damage the opponents in the small dream world.” Li You said after thinking for a while.

Li You also sent people to participate in this test. After all, there were also people from Xiliang who came to participate. In order to win, Li You even helped the other party to forge an identity in advance that would absolutely not be a problem for anyone to verify. Although Liu Bei would definitely come to ask after reaching the seventh level, it didn't matter. He had to win first.

So when Liu Ye was doing the test, Li You also went to watch. He had no other intention, he just wanted to get some intelligence first, understand the terrain, and gain the upper hand. As the saying goes, the weather is not as important as the location. The real victory in a war must be determined before the war begins!
Anyway, Li You went to take the test. Although Liu Yan was a little skeptical about this, considering that they were all family members and cheating was part of the rules of the game, he didn't say anything and even wished Li You a good grade or something.

"The God-Slayer of the Sharp Warrior." Liu Bei said with a headache, "That thing directly attacks the opponent's will. If your own will is not strong enough, you may even die on the spot if you get hit."

The problem is that a high-end skill like God-Slaying is just a normal attack for top-level warriors.

"After all, what is involved is the spiritual body, and the will attack will directly harm the spiritual body. This is inevitable. Although this problem has existed before, it has never appeared on such a large scale and such top-level will damage ability." Chen Xi said with a sigh.

There are many older warriors participating in the competition. A group of old warriors from Weiyang Palace are all ready to participate. It doesn’t matter whether they can get good results or not. Even though they are old, they are qualified enough to cause trouble in this level of competition.

"Does Lu Fengxian possess a vast divine will? Let him attach a ray of it to each soldier. When a top-level will attack would severely damage the opponent, let him help block it." Li You had an indifferent look as if he was ready to use Lu Bu like a beast of burden.

Although this sounds outrageous, it does make sense if you think about it carefully. The attack launched by the top warrior can be blocked by Lu Bu's divine will. Even if it hits another soldier, it should not kill the opponent. After all, those who can participate in the competition are all strong, so they should just be knocked unconscious.

As for the issue of Lu Bu's divine will, let's not talk about whether there are old soldiers who can destroy Lu Bu's divine will with their will attacks. Even if there are such old soldiers, it will not be fatal for Lu Bu to lose some of his divine will!

After all, this is a top-level god-breaking boss who has overcome the mental tribulation and is a true mortal god. I believe that Lu Bu's strength is definitely not a problem. At most, he will consume some of his divine power.

"Although it's a bit excessive, it's indeed reasonable. Second brother can help." Liu Bei thought about it and felt that Li You's words made sense and were completely acceptable. Besides, it would be better to let Guan Yu participate in this kind of activity. After all, Guan Yu's performance when watching the school swordsman playing football was enough to prove that Guan Yu was not a completely old-fashioned guy. If the situation was not good, it was possible that Guan Yu would cheat.

So for the sake of fairness, Liu Bei thought that it would be better to let guys like Lu Bu and Guan Yu, whose divine power can break through the world blockade, provide divine protection for the participating soldiers. In this way, these two guys who are obviously actively participating in the competition should not have any extra power to disrupt the competition.

"With Marquis Wen and General Guan, we don't have to worry about the will attack anymore." Liu Yan nodded calmly and said, "The next thing to consider is whether to send in special hunters."

"What is a hunter?" Man Chong frowned. Why is this competition system becoming more and more weird?

"It's to speed up the competition for those special strong people, for example, throw a boundary-breaking beast in." A hint of excitement appeared on Jia Xu's face. This was his suggestion.

"Any beast that breaks through the boundary will die if it goes in." Chen Xi said with a curled lip.

"At least it can speed up the competition. If you kill someone, you can get more points. Anyway, the first game is a points game." Jia Xu said indifferently, "Otherwise, if we really follow the competition system you mentioned, the first game may take dozens of days. I firmly believe that some guys are just wasting time doing nothing."

"It consumes physical energy, so you need to eat to replenish it." Chen Xi said unhappily. As a professional, he had plugged many loopholes from the very beginning.

"Zichuan, there are people who can go without food for more than ten days." Zhuge Liang turned his head to the side and saw a patrolling guard passing by. There was a skinny Zhang Gan in the team. Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh.

"The combination of endurance talent and adaptability is so exaggerated." Jia Xu said happily, "So we must give people more places to throw boundary-breaking beasts to speed up the competition."

“If you throw a boundary-breaking beast into a crowded place, it might be killed as soon as it is thrown. After all, this is a real-environment simulation competition, and everyone is basically fully equipped after entering. How many fully equipped veterans can a boundary-breaking beast withstand under the clouds?” Fa Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Jia Xu and said.

In a one-on-one fight, the Beast that Breaks the World is indeed powerful, with thick skin and tough flesh. But under the clouds, even the body of the Beast that Breaks the World has been tempered by thousands of blows, cannot withstand the nourishment of the Steel-Rolling Divine Weapon!

No one suggested throwing in the beasts with internal energy out of their bodies, because the veterans participating in the competition were mostly at level four or above. When fully equipped, there were many who could kill beasts with internal energy out of their bodies alone as long as there was cloud energy suppression. What's more, in the situation of a group attack, if the beasts with internal energy out of their bodies were thrown in, they would most likely be food.

"How about collecting all the numbers, collecting numbers with the same number." Li You said with some malice, "And as long as we form a team, there will definitely be two identical numbers in the team. And if one person in the team doesn't get two identical numbers, everyone in the team will be deducted points. This way, it will also be good for those who like to be alone."

"This is too malicious." Liu Ye looked at Li You speechlessly. The malice has overflowed!

"This is not very friendly to some veteran soldiers who are not scouts. Some veterans are not good at collecting intelligence." Zhuge Liang shook his head, trying to dissuade his father-in-law from causing trouble.

"As long as you get six number plates, it will be fine. Three different numbers can replace one." Li You's malice was deepening, and this was simply forcing the team to split up.

"That's too serious a fight. People with the same number are divided into several groups. If you are in two groups..." Liu Yan's face turned pale. It was too bad.

There is one more chapter to come. I will definitely update it once we promised to update it 10,000 times.
