Chapter 133: Super Senior
Fang Hao stayed in Shihuanghuang until November 30th, a total of four days.
Tomorrow is December 1st, the national finals, and he has to go back to the hotel.
Although you could go to the competition site by car from Shihuang Royal, it was too ostentatious and he didn't like it.
Shi Jinping, Yue Jiu, Yan Zixuan, and Lei Yun accepted his guidance for four days and were convinced by him.
This teaching and guidance ability is so ridiculously strong that even the emperor-level experts don't have it.
In terms of combat talent, Overlord is recognized as the strongest among the emperor-level warriors.
There will also be some discussions and exchanges between the emperor realm experts, but they will not bet on life and death.
But in normal competition, Overlord is obviously a step ahead.
He can't say why he is stronger, but he is stronger when fighting. He himself said that his combat intuition is sharper and his grasp of fighter opportunities is more accurate.
It is this "sharpness" and "accuracy" that sets his combat power apart from other emperor-level warriors.
Even if two emperor-level warriors have the same strength, speed, and reflexes, there will still be a gap in combat power. Where does this gap come from?
There is no way to explain it, it can only be attributed to "combat intuition".
For example, if your opponent strikes with a sword, should you strike back or block? Or dodge?
Where to chop?
How to block?
Where to dodge?
Different coping methods will lead to different results.
In a duel between strong men, the outcome is decided in an instant, with no time to think about it, just a matter of thought.
The Overlord can find more suitable ways to respond and gain more advantages in battle, so his combat power becomes stronger.
But his "combat intuition" is only his own and cannot be given to others.
Therefore, his own children and descendants are not outstanding in the emperor's family.
Under Fang Hao's guidance, the strength of Shi Jinping and the other two people had improved significantly, which made them very happy and begged Fang Hao to continue living in the Shi Royal Palace.
But Fang Hao said that fate sometimes ends, and he has taught all that should be taught, and the rest must be mastered and developed by himself. He will not be able to improve them much if he stays alone.
This is not that the longer you teach, the greater the improvement, but that there is an obvious marginal effect.
The longer it goes, the smaller their gains will be.
For Fang Hao, this is also a waste of unnecessary time and energy.
Four days, with the understanding and foundation of four people, is enough.
Emperor Ming not only sent Fang Hao back to the hotel in person, but also took the initiative to mention to Wen Zilong and other deans, as well as Fang Mengqi and other students who came to pick up Fang Hao, that he recognized Fang Hao as his younger brother.
She didn't want to publicize this matter, she just wanted to know it privately.
But Fang Hao got four king-level essence and blood crystals as soon as he took action, and also found himself the identity of "a friend of Emperor Xi when he was not famous".
It would be better if she publicizes this matter.
Because Fang Hao's reputation as the "Grand Master" can no longer be suppressed, he will become even more famous when Shi Jinping and the others achieve good results in the national finals.
At this point, he needs a new identity to better protect himself and his family while avoiding many unnecessary troubles.
The younger brother Ming Huang just recognized, isn't this identity quite suitable?
If his identity as "Friend of Emperor Xi" is revealed in the future, the world will suddenly realize it and express such emotion.
At the same time, he will not continue to dig deeper into Fang Hao's true identity, and will respect Emperor Xi even more because of this.
So she took the initiative to mention this matter to the dean and students.
After she left the hotel by car, Fang Hao was not faced with the warm cheers of the dean and students, but with strange silence and stares.
"Could it be that Emperor Ming is interested in..."
Someone finally spoke, but his speculation was not very respectful. His mouth was immediately covered by the person next to him, and he almost suffocated to death.
"Don't even make blind guesses." Wen Zilong had long felt that it was weird that Emperor Ming took the initiative to come to the door, and frowned.
"This is someone's private matter. Just let us know that it is happening and don't interfere. Remember, we are not even qualified to discuss it!" The
students participating in the finals raised their hands to cover their mouths and nodded in agreement.
The deans did not dare to offend the majesty of the powerful emperors, and once again told their students not to make blind guesses or speak randomly, otherwise they would be disqualified from the finals.
Wen Zilong looked at Fang Hao, his old smiling face turned into flowers: "It's good to come back. If you don't come back, we will all suspect that you have been kidnapped." "We will play as usual tomorrow. Let's all go and rest." Fang
Hao He nodded to everyone, then walked through the crowd and walked into the hotel lobby.
The dean and the students watched him go away, and only Fang Mengqi chased after him.
Lu Qianjun looked at Fang Hao's back and sighed:
"I thought we were just different in talent and strength, but it turns out that in terms of popularity, we are also as different as heaven and earth."
Emperor Ming!
One of the founding emperors, the wife of Emperor Yan, the biological sister of Overlord, and the much-loved "Sister Ling".
She is also a miracle doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded. Many strong people survived because of her treatment, and she is highly respected and loved.
In terms of backers, she is the most powerful.
If you mess with someone else, you may only offend him/herself.
If you mess with Emperor Ming, the emperor-level experts will line up to beat you.
Although the deans have warned against making wild guesses or making random comments, it shouldn't be considered offensive if they just spread this matter to the outside world, right?
Emperor Ming himself told the truth, obviously not wanting to keep it secret.
So after this news spread into the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital, most people thought it was a rumor.
Until someone mentioned this matter in a joking tone to Shi Jinping, Yue Jiu, Yan Zixuan, and Lei Yun, the four second-generation emperors who had received Fang Hao's guidance.
They thought it was a joke, but they got the response "Yes, he is our great-uncle."
Shi Jinping and the other two have convinced Fang Hao in the past few days, and even received a red envelope of king-level essence and blood crystals. They call their great-uncle warm and natural.
King-level essence and blood crystals, four at a time!
They, the "darlings" who come from the emperor's family and have outstanding talents, only get one per year.
It’s not that we can’t afford it, it’s that the output is too little.
The alien beast king on land cannot be killed. Humans can only hunt the sea beast king, but the success rate of hunting the sea beast king is too low.
In this world, the martial arts families, king families, emperor families, and king-level powerful men all need the crystallization of king-level essence and blood.
Simply supply exceeds demand.
We can only hope that after the extraordinary engine is built, the concentration of extraordinary particles on the entire planet will continue to increase, and more king-level beasts and sea beasts will be born.
When the resources are abundant, the Beast King will be able to run around all over the planet.
After receiving the confirmation from the person involved, all the descendants of the aristocratic families in the entire imperial capital collectively emoped.
No, Emperor Ming, are you serious?
Are you really still normal?
Does Emperor Yan know that you recognize such a younger brother? Aren't you afraid that he will be jealous?
So some people who were close to Yan Emperor went directly to ask Yan Emperor face to face whether this matter was true or not.
After receiving the reply "That's what happened", the children of the aristocratic families in the imperial capital collectively became excited.
No, are you two serious?
No one knew why she, who was so old, suddenly recognized a teenager as her younger brother.
But the aristocratic family circle in the imperial capital knew that regardless of whether Emperor Ming was insane or not, that young man must have reached the sky in one step.
Although the facts are actually contrary to their perceptions, it was Emperor Ming who truly rose to the top.
Fang Hao's fame quickly spread throughout the imperial capital's aristocratic family circle, and then spread outside the imperial capital.
But tomorrow is the finals, and no one dares to disturb him.
Everyone knows that he must be among the best, or even ranked first in the country, but no one can afford to be accused of "interfering with his game."
What if he takes second place and then blames the people who insist on bothering him?
Although this probability is so low that it can be ignored, no one dares to take this risk.
Outsiders don't know why Emperor Ming recognized him as his younger brother, and they don't dare to make random guesses, or even dare to mention this matter.
Just like Wen Zilong said, we are not even qualified to discuss this matter.
Whether Emperor Ming recognizes his younger brother or not, and who he recognizes as his younger brother, is it your turn as an outsider to comment?
Even if she is really upset and crazy, it is not your turn to care.
If you talk nonsense because of this, it is not impossible that you will die.
The next day, December 1, the national finals officially began.
In the national finals, there are nearly a thousand finalists from more than 30 different provinces. Generally, there are 20 places in a province, and there can be 30 or 40 people in special provinces.
The Imperial Capital is the most powerful. As the center and core of the country, there are many titled kings and powerful people in the Imperial realm. Most of the descendants of these powerful people also study in the Imperial Capital.
So there are 150 places for the finals in this city alone!
The descendants of the powerful gathered in the imperial capital, so naturally more places should be allocated.
Finalists from other provinces can still come out on top as long as they are strong enough, because the results of the competition cannot be faked.
Wen is not first, military is not second, strong is strong, weak is weak, there is no middle ground.
As long as the use of banned substances is not discovered, the result of the martial arts showdown must be fair and just.
The current quota of 150 is determined after the finals of previous years.
If the average strength of the finalists from the Imperial City is not as good as that of other provinces, the number of finalists will naturally be reduced in the following year.
The national finals bring together real “geniuses”.
Young practitioners with only resources but no talent have no chance to appear here.
Therefore, except for a handful of outstanding players, most contestants have to go through a hard battle before they can defeat their opponents with a slight advantage. Here, the fourth level of Zhenwu is the basic requirement.
From Fenglin City Zhenwu Academy, six people entered the national finals this time.
Three of them are Fang Hao's contemporaries, namely Fang Mengqi, Lu Qianjun, and Shi Zhixue.
There are two others, a pair of third-year seniors, who are also three-S students who have entered school.
It can be seen that even if both are guided by Fang Hao, and the time lasts for one year, there will be a big gap between real geniuses and people with average talent.
These six people are now at the fourth level of Zhenwu.
The difference is that Fang Hao and Fang Mengqi are close to perfection, seniors and seniors are in the middle of the fourth level, and Lu Qianjun and Shi Zhixue have just broken through.
The finals mechanism is the same as the provincial finals, with three rounds and five games in each round. Winners of all five games in the first two rounds will directly become the "seed player."
If you don't win all of them -
you have to win at least one game in the first round to advance to the second round.
Win at least two games in the second round to advance to the third round.
Win at least three games in the third round to enter the qualifying round.
The qualifying competition is the ultimate goal for the young people to participate. Only the top 100 will be announced to the whole country, which lasts for one year.
Every boy on the list, regardless of gender, can be said to be destined to be a king-level powerhouse.
The best among them can become the king.
As for those with the title of king, they are all candidates for the imperial realm - it does not mean that they will definitely be able to break through to the imperial realm, but the probability is indeed much higher than that of other kings.
The one hundred people on this list were selected from more than one million young cultivators across the country in rounds of competitions. Every one of them is a real strong person!
Since you are a strong person, you will have the prestige, fame, wealth, status, etc. that a strong person should have.
This time, the top 100 teenagers will also represent District 001 in the global finals and compete with other talented teenagers from around the world.
Both Fang Hao and Fang Mengqi easily defeated five opponents and became seeded players to directly skip the second and third rounds and enter the qualifying round.
There are not exactly 100 people in the qualifying competition, there are usually about 150 to 200 people, so nearly half of the people will not be able to make the list.
But there is no doubt that those who easily become seeded players will definitely be in the top 100.
So Fang Mengqi felt like she was dreaming again.
He said that he would play to see how far he could go, but he didn't expect that he would easily reach the global finals without even playing a few games, or even using his full strength.
She suddenly had a frightening thought - if Fang Hao did not participate, would she be able to win first place in the country?
She assessed the strength of her opponents and found that if her opponents were all at this level, it would be easy for her to be number one in the country.
Even if the opponent is stronger, he can still defeat him.
Fang Hao didn't think much about it.
In his opinion, first and second place were already determined from the moment he and his sister entered the competition.
The difference is simply whether you come first or your sister comes first.
He and his sister had sparred at home countless times, and it was no different than this time. It didn't matter whether they were competing or not.
So he decided to admit defeat proactively.
As a younger brother, admitting defeat to his sister will not make the audience scold him, and he does not lack such a first-class title.
But if my sister can win first place, she should be able to build up her confidence as a strong person.
You see, no one among your peers is better than you except me. You are already strong and you no longer need to feel inferior about your poor background.
Compared with Fang Hao and Fang Mengqi's success, the other four people who came from Maplewood City had a bit of a difficult time.
After Lu Qianjun and Shi Zhixue reached the provincial finals as freshmen last year, their families had the highest expectations for them and decided to pool resources to train them.
This is mainly because of Fang Hao.
If the cultivation level of the two is too different from Fang Hao, they will become farther and farther apart from each other, and eventually the friendship between classmates will be broken.
At this time, we must make this classmate relationship stronger and stronger, rather than getting weaker and weaker.
Fang Hao will definitely be able to break through to the tenth level of Zhenwu and become a king-level powerhouse. Moreover, he is a top king and will definitely get the honorary title in the future.
Entering the imperial realm is also unknown.
Meeting such a "classmate/noble person" in their lives is the greatest luck in their lives.
If you are stupid enough not to grasp it well, you will deserve a lifetime of mediocrity.
The Lu family tried their best and spared no expense, even selling off their most profitable companies, just to obtain resources in the short term.
Fang Hao can stay at Zhenwu Academy for a maximum of three years, and using resources during these three years is the most profitable option.
If the company is gone, you can start it again later.
But if you miss this opportunity, you will never see it again in this life.
Shi Zhixue's aunt, who was at the seventh level of Zhenwu, even stopped her own training and gave her resources to her, trying to prevent her from falling out of Fang Hao's circle of friends and at the same time make a name for herself in the junior competition.
Not being able to make a name for herself in the junior competition was her aunt's biggest regret.
Although her aunt was very talented, her family was not wealthy at the time and could only barely provide for her to practice true martial arts.
Due to the shortage of resources, she was quickly eliminated in all three competitions. Not to mention the finals, her best result was only the second round of the provincial competition.
Shi Zhixue's conditions are much better now because she has an aunt like her who provides her with resources.
As for her aunt's resources, she mainly obtained them by joining the extraordinary organization for collective hunting, and she couldn't even use them enough.
But for the future of Shi Zhixue, her niece, she decided to take a three-year break and first try her best to "support" Shi Zhixue and consolidate her relationship with Fang Hao.
Because my aunt who has been in "society" knows very well how terrifying a "strong" classmate/friend can be.
That is an invisible backer.
It is a deterrent that scares the weak.
It is the best barrier to avoid trouble.
Even if someone wants to cause trouble for you, considering your friendship with the "strong man", most of them will stop.
This is no loss to the "strong".
But it can make their path, especially the "beauties", much smoother without having to compromise.
With the almost no-cost investment from the family behind them, Lu Qianjun and Shi Zhixue's cultivation levels increased rapidly, rising from the second level of Zhenwu to the fourth level in just one year.
The efforts of the two families were not in vain.
During this year, the two's rapid improvement allowed them to always have something in common with Fang Hao to talk about.
Because Fang Hao is also a beginner in Zhenwu practice, they can communicate with each other at the same level.
You can also discuss with each other the cultivation experience of "Golden Crow Concept", the tips for using the first level of "Nine Levels of Ultimate Power" (you can learn the first level method at Zhenwu Academy), etc.
You can even think about what top method to choose when you participate in the junior competition for the second time next year.
This time, together with Fang Hao, we reached the national finals.
Lu Qianjun and Fang Hao slept in the same room last year, and they slept in the same room this year and in the finals.
But Qianhao was not in the hotel when the final officially started.
But when the finals started, he came back.
He was sent back by Emperor Ming personally and became Emperor Ming's newly recognized younger brother.
As a "good brother" recognized by Fang Hao, rounding it off, didn't he also become Emperor Ming's "younger brother"?
Of course, he knew he was thinking about eating.
If he could hold Fang Hao's thigh, his ancestors' graves would be filled with smoke. If he thought about it any longer, he would easily be struck by lightning.
Shi Zhixue, on the other hand, took a curve to save the country, and together with Li Xiaoya, firmly hugged Fang Mengqi's calf.
Although Li Xiaoya is not among the 20 contestants, she and Fang Mengqi are from the same school!
Because of her relationship, Shi Zhixue and Fang Mengqi also had a good relationship.
The two are contestants in the same grade. They lived in the same room last year, and they still live in the same room this year.
They kept up with Fang Hao's pace and witnessed Fang Hao's entire process from unknown to nationally famous. If they had not followed this step, they might have faded out of Fang Hao's social circle.
Because Fang Hao is already out of reach.
But this step, they caught up!
They have witnessed Fang Hao's rise to fame from a young age. This kind of "close participation" will not significantly distance them from Fang Hao.
After defeating an opponent with difficulty, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
At least we made it to the second round.
Looking back, Fang Hao and Fang Mengqi easily defeated five opponents and had won five consecutive games.
Although they already knew this would be the result.
When I really faced it, I still felt a little sour in my heart.
