Chapter 796: County Tournament Begins

The entire Linshan County became extremely lively because of the selection of medicine. If some of the damaged buildings were not still under renovation, it would be hard to imagine that this place had just been attacked by monsters.

On the surface, it seemed that compared to when he came to Linshan Villa before, those who followed Zuo Feng disappeared. But not long after Zuo Feng left, he keenly noticed some secrets, and there were still eyes staring at him.

These people's cultivation and experience were obviously good. Although Zuo Feng could feel their eyes, he could not pull them out.

Because of these discoveries, Zuo Feng also understood that his current situation was only slightly better on the surface. Those forces did not dare to come openly because of the relationship between Su Lan and the city lord, but they did not give up.

However, Zuo Feng did not pay attention. What he had to do now was to face the selection of medicine wholeheartedly, which was what he cared about most at that time.

The venue for the selection of medicine was set on the south side of Linshan County City, where there was another large square. The scope of this square was about a quarter of the size of Linshan Villa, and people standing on the square would look so small.

There were not many people in the square at this time, but it was usually a very lively place. This used to be a market for hiring transport teams and mercenaries. Generally, the aristocratic families were not strong enough, and they hoped to enter the Spiritual Medicine Mountain Range to collect spiritual medicines, so they would come here to temporarily hire some people.

Because of the special nature of Linshan County City, there is such a huge market. Moreover, each team entering the market needs to register with the manager stationed here by the City Lord's Mansion.

In this way, once someone is hired, they dare not commit embezzlement or kill the employer and rob the property. At the same time, the hired team needs to pay a certain amount of money to the City Lord's Mansion as the cost of the City Lord's Mansion managing this place, so the City Lord's Mansion also has a lot of income here.

At this time, the square has been completely cleared, and dozens of stone platforms have been placed in the center of the square. They are surrounded by ropes, and people who look like city guards stand on the edge to prohibit people from entering at will.

All these stone platforms face the north side, where a high platform built with huge wood stands there, but there is no figure on the high platform now. The high platform was naturally prepared for the host of the competition. It was still a while before the competition, so it was normal that no one was there.

A group of people in the square seemed to be discussing something. Zuo Feng took a glance at those people and found that most of them were people he knew. Most of these people had appeared in Linshan Villa before, but a large part of them automatically withdrew before the marriage competition began.

Another part of the people participated in the competition and looked more familiar. These people came earlier than Zuo Feng. At this time, they gathered in groups of three or two with good relationships and seemed to be discussing something. In this casual atmosphere, everyone's face was slightly serious, and the sense of depression before the competition was faintly revealed.

Soon someone noticed Zuo Feng's arrival. The first person who discovered it seemed to be whispering to remind the people around him, and then the people around him immediately spread the news, and all eyes immediately gathered here.

Zuo Feng didn't care too much, but came to a place with many guards, where someone looked like a manager. Zuo Feng looked familiar with this man. He could probably remember that he had seen him in Linshan Villa. He seemed to have a good relationship with Tao.

The man in charge was dressed differently from the general guards. His armor was also bright silver-white. When he saw Zuo Feng, he just smiled faintly, showing a rather polite look. At the same time, his eyes swept behind Zuo Feng. It was obvious that he knew the six people sent by the city lord.

Although he knew Zuo Feng, he did not intend to make way for Zuo Feng to pass. Instead, he stared at Zuo Feng in silence. Zuo Feng was not surprised by this, especially for the existence of the county city. All kinds of orders must be strictly implemented as long as they are issued. Unless the city lord orders, others dare not disobey.

Zuo Feng is very important to the city lord and Su Lan, but these people will not buy Zuo Feng's account and will only do things according to the rules.

Seeing the other party staring at him, Zuo Feng did not say anything and directly reached into his arms and took out an identity card. This identity card is only for those who enter the county city selection, and it is exchanged at the city lord's mansion before the competition. He used the ID card that he had passed in the previous city selection competition to exchange for the ID card for participating in the county city competition in the city lord's mansion.

After the officer took the ID card, he looked at it carefully and then made way to one side.

Zuo Feng walked straight in. Amber and the people sent by the city lord were naturally not allowed to enter, but they were also arranged to sit in the front. Ordinary people can only watch from a distance, while people with status and special arrangements will be arranged in places that are slightly closer to the competition venue.

Although it is said to be slightly closer, it is actually still a distance away from the competition venue. This is because they do not want the spectators to affect the competition. There have been precedents before. In order to let their children win in the end, some noble families deliberately made some strange noises in the competition to prevent their opponents from concentrating on refining medicine.

So since then, the empire has had stricter requirements for reaching the first-level county city selection. One of them is that all people watching the competition must be at a considerable distance from the competition venue. In addition, if someone makes a noise or other actions to affect the competition, the contestants related to this person will be disqualified immediately.

It was like Amber was assigned a good position, but if he did anything that affected other people, Zuo Feng would be disqualified from the competition immediately.

For this reason, those who participated in the competition later would carefully choose the people to stay with them.

Zuo Feng walked into the competition venue leisurely, and the contestants who were originally whispering in the venue immediately focused their attention on him. If before the competition in Linshan Villa, Zuo Feng, a person with no identity or background, would probably not be taken seriously by anyone, but the situation is completely different now, because his existence is enough to make many people pay attention to him.

Whether it is the extraordinary knowledge or the extraordinary performance in the competition, it seems so dazzling.

Children of noble families often have a common problem, that is, jealousy of talents. These people have an extraordinary sense of superiority since birth, enjoy a large amount of resources that ordinary people cannot imagine, and have extraordinary abilities, so they never take those who have no status into consideration.

If the children of aristocratic families with the same resources were better than themselves, then they could barely accept it, but the young man who appeared now not only had no extraordinary identity background, but was even so young, which made most of the children of aristocratic families have an inexplicable hatred towards him.

Zuo Feng felt these things soon after entering the venue. Many people looked at him with some unkindness. But none of these people dared to act rashly. They all knew that another outstanding feature of Zuo Feng was his amazing fighting power.

They knew that if they really competed with Zuo Feng, their cultivation would only cause jokes.

Zuo Feng simply ignored these people, and after finding his position, he sat cross-legged next to the stone platform.

He ignored most of them, but there was one person he saw very clearly, that was the painter Qi Gongzi who had a lot of entanglements with him. When he just arrived, he saw Hua Qi talking with a few friends there, but when he saw him, his face immediately changed significantly.

After seeing Zuo Feng, he first showed abnormal anger, which was not concealed at all. With his temperament, he could directly express his inner thoughts, which was a very rare thing. From this, it can be inferred that Zuo Feng was really tortured by everything he did.

In that angry expression, Zuo Feng could also see a trace of fear in his eyes. As for the fear of Zuo Feng, it was only after being tricked by Zuo Feng before that he truly realized how terrible Zuo Feng's mind was.

And after that, his face turned into a deep resentment. This expression was very familiar to Zuo Feng. Whether it was Kui Xiang at the beginning or Cheng Tianhao later, they were all cut out of the same mold when they saw him.

The relationship between these people and himself was roughly the same, that is, there were irreconcilable contradictions. There was no possibility of reconciliation between them. As long as there was a chance, they would attack each other.

Zuo Feng didn't seem to care about everything, but in his heart he had secretly put Hua Qi on the must-kill list, and even ranked before Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao.

The painter himself is a giant. Even the Kang family needs to look up to him, and the Su family is somewhat afraid of him. This painter's status in the painter is obviously not low. If he is given a chance in the future, he will definitely be the biggest threat to himself, so eliminating him has become a must.

These are just a calculation in his mind. Zuo Feng excluded all distracting thoughts from his mind, and the chaotic sounds around him seemed to disappear suddenly. He was completely immersed in his own world, without joy or sorrow, and even unable to feel the existence of the outside world. At this time, he has adjusted his state to the best.

"Boom..."

Above the cloudy sky, a huge arc of electricity rolled, and suddenly a part of it poured out in the clouds, like a set of white dragons sticking their heads out of the clouds. But its appearance was accompanied by a huge explosion.

Everyone looked up at the sky, and everyone seemed to be worried that there would be heavy rain today. Only Zuo Feng slowly opened his eyes and looked at the high platform not far away. Several figures appeared below the high platform at this time. The appearance of these people also marked the beginning of the selection of medicine children in Linshan County City.
