Chapter 85: Advance Revelation of Rules

  (PS: Thanks everyone, you're too powerful! In just over an hour, several hundred votes were added. It seems that brothers are usually very reserved and don't have the habit of voting, haha. There's still another update tonight! Please continue to fire up, brothers, the recommendation chart is full of gods and changes in an instant. The more votes from brothers, the more solid the homepage position!)

  However, Qin Wushuang's thoughts flashed by and he immediately understood.

  A martial child who can rank first nationwide is definitely not ordinary. According to Tong Yao's intelligence, this martial child test concerns whether the Baiyue Kingdom can be upgraded to a high-quality vassal state, and the royal family of the Baiyue Kingdom naturally spared no expense.

  To know that being promoted to a superior vassal state means a change in international status, it means getting along with neighboring countries, and the status changes immediately.

  For example, the Wu State around Baiyue, also a medium-grade vassal state, has been openly and secretly competing with Baiyue for a long time, with each other having conquered. However, once one side is promoted to a high-grade vassal state, it means that the stalemate and balance between the two sides are immediately broken.

  The first-ranked Wu Tong, once he receives the spiritual connection, will be even more extraordinary.

  So it's a very cost-effective deal in terms of both emotions and reason.

  Every martial family is secretly calculating in their hearts. Their expectations for this trial have also skyrocketed. With such a rich reward, it's impossible not to be moved.

  "What if the person who is first in team contribution value and the person who is first individually are the same, how should this account be calculated?"

  At this remark, many martial arts students were suddenly reminded. Ah, if it's like that, how should this account be settled?

  "The imperial court must have considered this issue. If they were the same person, the two rewards would be cumulative, profiting from both!"

  "Hmm, this question is interesting. To be enfeoffed as a king and also as a marquis, isn't that a mess?"

  "Are you out of your mind? How can you mix things up like that? The imperial court gave two rewards, one for the individual and one for their family. Can't the second reward be shared with your family? Don't worry about this, if you can win both championships, you'll be enfeoffed as a king, and your father will be enfeoffed as a marquis, isn't that good enough?"

  Nawutong smiled and said, "So it can be like this. But that's not good either, I'll be king, my father will be marquis, then his rank is lower than mine, won't he have to bow when he sees me? That would be terrible! If I really get the double champion, my old man should still be king, and I'll just be a marquis. Ah, I'm a person who likes to keep a low profile, don't like to show off..."

  "Give up? With your little talent, you're still a double champion. The title of Marquis is still beyond your reach, I think you should give up on that early!"

  "Jealousy, this is clearly jealousy. I won't waste my breath arguing with you, let's just wait and see who does better in the end."

  A group of people were discussing, when a little girl came running towards them with a pink face as delicate as carved jade.

  Walking up to Qin Wushuang, she asked in a soft and gentle voice: "Are you Qin Wushuang's older brother?"

  Qin Wushuang was taken aback and jumped off his horse: "It's me, little sister, do you recognize me?"

  "Someone, let me give this to you." The little girl stretched out her chubby little hand and handed over a small bamboo tube.

  Qin Wushuang took it over and knew there was a note inside as soon as he held it in his hand. He was about to say something.

  The little girl had already skipped away.

  "Qin Wushuang, you're quite famous. Even in the Redwood King City, people are sending you gifts." Yun Qingyan rode up on her horse, teasingly saying.

  "What's inside?"

  Qin Wushuang pulled out a note that read: "Meet me at Songfeng Building 6th floor, Kunkun room for lunch."

  The font is elegant and beautiful, with the signature "Tong Yao" at the bottom.

  Qin Wushuang's palm clenched, the paper strip was already torn to pieces. She thought to herself that Tong Yao said her family made a living by selling intelligence, this intelligence work is indeed formidable. I just entered the city and she already knew?

  He then thought about it and felt relieved. They were the 80-90 martial arts students from Nan Yun State, with a grand formation, perhaps they had already been investigated halfway through their journey.

  "Someone has invited me to dinner." Qin Wushuang said with a hint of apology, "Since we've already arrived at Chi Mu Wang City, I believe everyone has relatives and friends in the Chi Mu Wu Yuan. As for me, I'm alone and have no family here, so let's disperse for now and regroup when the time comes."

  This idea was approved by everyone. This group of high-quality martial arts children, eight or nine out of ten have relatives who are furthering their studies at the Akagi Martial Arts Institute, and they themselves will also have to enter the Akagi Martial Arts Institute soon. Therefore, the Akagi Martial Arts Institute is definitely a place to go.

  Songfeng Building is also a big sign in the Redwood King City. Qin Wubai casually asked someone and easily found the location of Songfeng Building.

  The horses were stabled, and he went straight up to the sixth floor.

  The location of Kung's private room is very elegant and just right on the street.

  "You're here!" Tong Yao had been waiting in the private room, letting Qin Wu Xiang enter and closing the door behind her. "I should have gone to pick you up myself, but since you know Miss Yun, who is so free-spirited..."

  Qin Wushuang waved his hand: "No need to explain, I can understand. Why are you the only one? Where's your younger brother?"

  "He didn't come..." Tong Yao was about to say something but stopped, and finally seemed to think that honesty was the best policy, so she stammered out, "Qin Gongzi, my brother's personality is a bit too proud..."

  Qin Wushuang observed the expressions and guessed what was going on. She thought to herself, "Indeed a dutiful sister, secretly helping her brother while considering his self-esteem."

  "So you're saying that your younger brother doesn't know anything about this?"

  Tong Yao's face turned slightly red as she shook her head and said, "He doesn't know."

  "What should I do then?" If even the person involved doesn't know, things will be even harder to handle.

  "So, this matter is a bit difficult, and it's likely that Qin Gongzi will have to put in some extra thought, secretly providing assistance without leaving any traces, letting him be kept in the dark from start to finish."

  Qin Wushuang secretly smiled to himself, thinking that this cheating was quite clever. Helping someone cheat without letting the beneficiary know.

  "But then how to test the rules, I'm still unclear until now. Wanting to help my younger brother, I really have no clue. If Miss Tong knows the detailed rules, it's not too much trouble to reveal a little."

  Tong Yao nodded: "I invited Qin Gongzi to come here, first to entertain him, and secondly to discuss the rules. Qin Gongzi, these rules are confidential before the trial begins. I collected them through various channels, 100% reliable, just hoping that Qin Gongzi can keep his mouth shut."

  "Please go on."

  "Alright, according to the rules. The over 2,000 martial youths from Baoyue Country will be assigned a unique number one by one, with no duplicates. Then, the True Martial Sacred Land organization will group the martial youths by their place of origin and assign them to different teams. The over 2,000 top-grade martial youths from Baoyue Country will be divided into fifty teams, each consisting of around forty-five to fifty people. This way, it can be guaranteed that all the martial youths from various states and counties will be dispersed, and basically avoid martial youths from the same place forming cliques and pursuing personal interests!"

  "Fifty teams?" Qin Wushuang furrowed his brow, "How can this be guaranteed? Can the two of us be in the same team? If not in the same team, wouldn't the drop locations be different?"

  "Don't worry about the grouping issue. Once your numbers are out, I have a way to make sure you're all in the same group!" Tong Yao said with great confidence.

  Tong Yao's tone paused for a moment, and suddenly asked: "This trial, the reward is very rich, I wonder what Qin Gongzi's ambition is?"

  "Regardless of whether there is a reward or not, since I've participated, I naturally want to strive for a good result."

  Tong Yao's face turned slightly stern after hearing this, she lowered her head and sank into thought, lightly biting her lip as if considering something. Finally, she nodded: "With Qin Gongzi's strength, striving for first place is right. I shouldn't block Qin Gongzi's future because of my own personal reasons. Let's do it like this, after the numbers are drawn and the grouping ends, I'll contact Qin Gongzi again and tell you specifically how to proceed."

  "Then won't we be heading to the trial grounds?"

  "I have a way to get the message across to you, trust me." Tong Yao's gaze was firm.

  Then, with a smile: "Alright, private matters are settled, and I'm getting hungry. Please, Qin Gongzi, let's open our stomachs and taste the culinary skills of Chef Chi Mu Wang!"

  Qin Wushuang saw that she wanted to say something but hesitated, knowing that this matter might still be a bit troublesome. At the moment, he didn't ask much more and wasn't polite or courteous either. When the wine arrived, he drained his cup and drank freely with abandon.

  Martial Arts Trial...

  Qin Wushuang was thinking to himself, it seemed that the organization of this trial was quite strict, basically completely eliminating the possibility of cheating. But Tong Yao actually managed to find a loophole, it seemed that the family behind Tong Yao was not ordinary either.
