Monarch of Evernight: The foundation of eighteen years of survival

bsp;In the battle of the top eight, Qianye won easily because he eliminated Song Zian in advance and the opponents he encountered were obviously low in fighting spirit.

Song Zining faced Song Zian's guest warrior. Due to yesterday's battle, the two sides were completely at odds. The guest warrior attacked him as soon as he came up, and even traded injuries for injuries. It was obvious that Song Zining was going to be killed. To death.

However, Song Zining finally showed amazing combat power in this battle. He used the secret combat skill of the Song Dynasty: the Beacon Fire Salary Spear. This marksmanship is suitable for group battles on the battlefield. He already has an iron horse in his hands. With the power of breaking the army, the two sides did not fight for too long, and the guest warrior was directly strangled on the spot.

This was the first battle in this martial arts exam that cost lives, but the four people were silent, and no one criticized it anymore. Song Zian lost another general, and the loss was heavy.

The top four have now been formed, Qianye will face Song Ziqi, and Song Zining’s opponent is Song Zicheng.

Song Ziqi has just stepped into the threshold of a warrior, and his combat power is still a little behind Song Zian. However, Qianye advanced to the ninth level after drinking Tianfeng Jade Dew. There was no suspense in this battle. Qianye didn't even need to use his Eye Technique: Control, and with just a flurry of swords, Song Ziqi was cut off and wounded.

If Song Tu hadn't been watching eagerly from the side, Qianye would have wanted to leave Song Ziqi with some disability. But now, Song Ziqi had to lie in bed for three to five days without being able to get off the ground.

A big war broke out between Song Zining and Song Zicheng.

As the grandson of the eldest son of the clan leader, Song Zicheng has firmly occupied the first place in the line of heirs all year round. His resources are far superior to Song Zining's. He should have had a comprehensive advantage in terms of force power, combat skills and weapons. However, as soon as the two sides appeared, everyone discovered that Song Zining had changed his equipment, and it was all level six combat equipment.

Even the Song clan, who were famous for their wealth, was moved by everyone. Song Zian only had level six weapons, and Song Zicheng only had two pieces of level six armor. Before the big exam started, Mrs. An Guogong gave Song Zining a level 6 disposable defense ring in full view of everyone. In fact, it was just to save his life in the ring.

Because everyone knows that Song Zining's paternal and maternal lines are not obvious, and his future wife family will still be a noble family, with no accumulation at all. Based on his current ranking as the heir to the Song clan, the resources and income he can allocate, not to mention a complete set of level 6 equipment, it is already very good to be able to collect level 4 armor and level 5 weapons.

Of course, all the elders also know that Song Zining has a private property called Ningyuan Group, but who among the adult members of the Song clan does not have a few factories and workshops in his hands? But if this set of combat equipment comes from that private property, it means that the scale has been really big. How many years has he been in charge independently?

In an instant, many elders felt strange in their hearts.

Mrs. An Guogong suddenly asked: "Zhongnian, Zining is also from your branch. What is the origin of those gadgets on his body?"

The feudal lord Song Zhongnian was also looking at Song Zining. After hearing this, he pondered for a moment and then said: "In my opinion, these weapons should be partly from the accumulation of private property in his name, and partly raised through connections."

Raising money is equivalent to borrowing money, but the elders of the Song clan nodded one after another. Being able to borrow money is also a skill.

"Zi Ning, this kid is getting better and better." As soon as the ancestor said this, the smiles of several elders immediately became stiff.

Song Zining's winning style in this battle was completely different from the previous one. Facing Song Zicheng's "Embroidered Clothes Sword Technique" that was both offensive and defensive, he opened up the field of "Three Thousand Floating Leaves Technique" as soon as he appeared on the stage.

At this moment, in a ten-foot radius area, fallen leaves are flying, mixed with the slightest hint of rain, like late autumn. Countless force manifestations as fine as cow hair appeared in the void. One moment, they were densely woven into a network, providing an airtight defense. The next moment, they sensed an external force attack and were induced to turn into wind blades, spinning back and counterattacking.

Few of the Song clan disciples who were watching the battle had seen this secret technique that had been practiced for hundreds of years, but the elders had some understanding of it, so everyone had different expressions, but this time they all seemed to have their own concerns. There was even less conversation, and there was silence on the high platform.

The "Three Thousand Floating Leaves Technique", like many top-grade secret techniques, is divided into three levels and nine levels. Generally speaking, most people will stop at the middle level throughout their lives. High-level ones can only rely on comprehension and chance. There are no shortcuts. No matter what kind of high-grade secret method, once you enter the high level, there will be no obstacles to breaking through the last few levels of the general, which also means that there is the possibility of attacking the divine general.

In front of me, Song Zining's "Three Thousand Floating Leaves Technique" has actually reached the level of "Twilight Autumn Mountain Tour", which is the fifth intermediate level! In terms of the realm of secret arts alone, Song Zining is already the number one among the younger generation of the Song clan, and those who follow will not be able to catch up with him for at least a few years.

Song Zicheng's only advantage is the force, and his combat skills are not weak. He is about to break through to the intermediate level, but Song Zining is evened out by his superiority in weapons. Both sides were well equipped to defend and insufficient to attack, so it was inevitable to fight a protracted battle.

This battle lasted for two hours. Song Zining finally ran out of force and was defeated.

Although Song Zicheng could still help Song Zining, his face was as pale as paper when he came off the stage, his steps were sloppy, and he almost couldn't make it past the edge of the arena in the last few steps. If Song Zining could hold on for another ten minutes, Song Zicheng would fall first.

In the afternoon, the decisive battle will begin between Song Zicheng and Qianye.

As soon as he appeared on the stage, Song Zicheng simply said: "I admit defeat!"

He was too exhausted in the battle with Song Zining. Even if he used a good potion, he has not fully recovered from his weakness in the Force. Qianye defeated Song Ziqi with ease. He had almost recovered after resting, and there was no need to fight this battle.

When Song Tu announced the results of the competition, many Song clan elders on the high platform had strange expressions. Song Zhongxing sneered, which sounded extremely harsh. The Song Dynasty's martial arts test to select a successor, the rules were extremely favorable to the Song Dynasty's children, but the leader was taken by an outsider. If this matter was revealed, the Song Dynasty would suffer some loss of face.

However, the elders had mixed reactions to Song Zicheng's admission of defeat. This is also the characteristic of the Song Dynasty that is business-oriented. If you see something can't be done, just give up and find another way.

Mrs. An Guogong said at this time: "Ask the child and Zining to come up together. I will have a few words with them."

After a while, Qianye and Song Zining climbed onto the high platform and stood in front of Mrs. Anguo. Until this moment, Qian Yefang had the opportunity to observe this legendary ancestor of the Song Dynasty up close. He only glanced at it and quickly lowered his head.

Although Mrs. An Guogong has snow-like hair on her temples, her face is not as old as expected. If she dyed her hair black, she would probably think that she was a middle-aged lady, but her eyes full of vicissitudes of time quietly revealed some secrets of her age.

When Mrs. Anguo's eyes fell on Qianye, she just looked at him and did not use her senses to explore his original power and body. This small detail made Qianye feel a little comfortable and relaxed.

After taking one look, Mrs. An Guogong said: "Yes, both children are good. Zi Ning can be friends with you, that is also his blessing."

Friends? After hearing these words, Qianye's heart moved slightly, and he just said: "Thank you, madam, for the compliment."

Mrs. An Guogong smiled at her left and right and said: "This child is very talented and can talk so well. I like it very much. Come on, bring my box."

The maid standing aside brought a nanmu box inlaid with silver and opened it in front of everyone. There were three force bombs inside.

This force bomb is silver in color, but it is not as shiny as mithril, but has a rich and obscure depth. In addition, the pattern on the projectile body is unique, and it looks like there are multiple layers of structures nested in it. The design idea is somewhat similar to the work of the master from Dog Claw Town, but the workmanship is particularly outstanding.

At the signal of Mrs. An Guogong, Qianye took the box of force bombs from the maid. After taking it in his hand, he was shocked. The force fluctuations emanating from the projectile were even stronger than the mithril magic bullet.

Mrs. An Guogong said gently: "This is the refined silver Yang bullet produced by my Song clan. It is slightly different from those on the market. It's rare for you to win the first prize. I don't have anything good at hand, so I will give you some small ones." Toy, use it for self-defense."

The elders next to them can still keep their composure, but the Song clan disciples below are not so good at cultivating qi. Many of them have expressions of pain and envy, which is quite exciting.

The Refined Silver Sun Bomb is a killer weapon alongside the black titanium annihilation bomb, and the Song Clan's self-produced Silver Refined Sun Bullet has undergone major improvements. Each piece of light is handmade, requiring dozens of skilled craftsmen to work for several months. There is a slight difference in what Mr. An Guo said, but according to normal people's standards, it is a huge difference.

This kind of refined silver blazing sun bullet is a specially made killing weapon of the Song clan. Even with only a level 4 or 5 force gun, it can kill the Dark Viscount in one blow. They are usually reserved for the Imperial Guards. Occasionally, if a small amount leaks out, it will cause looting by the powerful. Even Song Zicheng and Song Zian only had two of them on their bodies as a means of survival. Song Zining, with his previous status, had never obtained one.

Now that Qianye is a warrior with a foreign surname, he has obtained three of them all at once. How can the children of the Song clan not be envious or jealous of this?

Mrs. An Guogong waited for Qianye to collect the box. Fang looked around and said: "The greatest enemy of life and death for our human race is the dark race. So when it comes to the fundamentals of survival, we have to stand on the battlefield with the dark race. The Song Dynasty said with The Shang Li clan is actually to provide support for the frontline battlefield. Don't think that I am giving too much. If these little things are in the hands of this child, the lives of three dark viscounts will fall into the hands of you unscrupulous descendants. , probably used it in exchange for business capital, and then hid it in the weapons arsenal of some high-ranking family, right?"

This sentence revealed the thoughts of many people, and they broke into cold sweat at that moment.

Mrs. An Guogong sighed and said: "Martial arts can resist foreigners on the outside, but it is the foundation of the clan on the inside. The original intention of these ten years of exams is to reverse the weakness of our Song Dynasty, but we can always return it. Some people don't understand this. They are accustomed to resorting to power and tactics, but they can't change their behavior in situations where real swords and guns are needed. If things go on like this, what kind of blood will they have? Can we still count on you when life and death is at stake? "

"The word "family" does not mean it is given to a certain family and will not be changed. Thousands of years ago, there were seven families in the founding of the country. In just two hundred years, the seven families became three families. When the empire was resurrected, It was once again promoted to nine clans, how prosperous it was! But counting from the time when the Zhu clan was downgraded, it has been more than three hundred years since the four clans were separated..."

Qianye held his breath and listened. This was the first time he learned about the history of the changes in the clan. Such details of the evolution of the upper echelons of the empire were not available in military-dominated places like Huangquan and Red Scorpion.

But then Qianye glanced at Song Zining again. The latter was listening with his eyes down like everyone else, still looking gentle and harmless, looking no different from usual.

But based on Qianye's understanding of him, Song Zining was very worried at the moment and did not feel much joy about achieving good results in the martial arts exam. It seems that Song Zining's depression has become very obvious since the battle between Qianye and Song Zian ended yesterday.

Thinking of what had happened in the past few days, Qianye sighed inwardly. Maybe he should find a time to talk to Song Zining. But after all, Song Clan and him are closely related by blood and bones. No matter what kind of decision it is, even if it is like Song Zining's, it will be extremely difficult to make it, right?
