Chapter Thirty-Eight: Knockout Tournament Life and Death
Through the lottery ceremony, Mu Feng drew a seventeenth lottery and registered. The opponent is the No. 16 signer, Mu Feng doesn't know who the opponent is, of course, he won't care who the opponent is, through the observation of the past few days, all the freshmen who participate in the assessment have no opponent for him, to participate in the assessment, it's just a procedure.
Now he has set his sights on the Holy Land, although his knowledge of the Holy Land only comes from the few words of others.
It's just that there are still some things that need to be settled before leaving.
Of course, these are all afterwords, and the most wrong thing is to find a way to improve his strength first, and with his strength, he doesn't care what holy land he is, and he will break through first.
This is not pressed in advance, because the knockout rounds have already begun.
At the beginning of each round, the night without wind has to say the specific rules in advance.
"The round of 16 is about to start, I will first talk about the other rules, how to play according to the lottery number, I think everyone has already understood very well, I will not reiterate it here. Now what I want to say is that because it is a one-on-one knockout match, the so-called sword has no eyes, fists and feet are ruthless, and in the ring, life and death may not be avoided, so candidates must sign a life and death certificate before going to the ring. ”
Of course, it is also possible not to sign, in this case, it is considered a waiver. However, one thing must be stated in advance, even if a life and death certificate is signed, if one party admits defeat, the other party must not attack again, let alone hurt people's lives, and if there is a violation, they will be killed on the spot. My words are finished, whether to sign or not, the players decide for themselves. ”
After speaking, Ye Wufeng returned to the referee's seat, leaving time for the top 32 players and on-site law enforcement referees.
Of course, as the "chief referee", he can't really quit, after all, he has to sign a life and death certificate with him before he plays.
Back in the referee's seat, the night breeze said loudly:
"Now I have invited the No. 1 signature Kuai Zhengxin, the No. 32 signature Zhang Cheng, the No. 2 signature Ling Huqi, the No. 31 signature Liu Rubing, the No. 3 signature Lou Sanqing, the No. 30 signature Tai Liuchang, the No. 4 signature Tai Yuanyuan, and the No. 29 signature Jiang Yang to come and sign. ”
As soon as Ye Wufeng finished speaking, the eight people went up to the referee's seat one after another, signed their names without hesitation, and then walked to the ring they wanted to play against in twos and twos.
After eight people jumped into the ring one after another, the referee gave an order, and the round of 16 officially began.
Mu Feng looked at it from a distance, and every ring erupted with huge energy fluctuations, and the sound of weapons colliding was endless, and the two sides came and went, not letting each other go.
About half a pillar of incense, the third ring first divided the winner and loser, Mu Feng didn't know who was who, only heard the referee chanting:
"Tai Liu, advance to the top 16!"
As soon as Ring 3 was announced, Ring 4 continued to chant:
"Tai Yuan won far and advanced to the top 16!"
"Kuaizheng wins!" "Liu Rubing wins!"
As soon as the announcement was over, the other two rings were divided into winners and losers.
"The Tai family is worthy of being a big family in Baichen County, one door and two arrogant, really powerful!"
A person beside Mu Feng sighed.
The winners and losers of each ring have been divided, and the night is windless and shouts loudly:
"Xu Shangwen, Ye Menghan, Yu Wanjun, Nan Yudie, Ke Xiangbei, Ma Jiandong, Gou Yujing, and Hu Bumu came up to sign. ”
When the words fell, six men and two women walked up to the referee's seat to sign, and there was no wind in the night to stop Ye Menghan, and the father and daughter muttered for a while, but Ye Menghan still walked to the No. 1 ring without hesitation.
Mu Feng naturally knew Ye Menghan, and he was also familiar with Ye Menghan's opponent, so he thought about it and said to himself:
"Ye Menghan's opponent should be Xu Shangwen, and Xu Shangwen should be brothers with Xu Shangwu. ”
Mu Feng muttered to himself.
Looking at the No. 2 ring again, there was a person who also seemed familiar, which reminded Mu Feng of that unquiet night.
"The world is so small!"
Mu Feng said again, and at the same time muttered in his heart, if they knew that their respective brothers had already died at my hands, I don't know how they would feel.
Of course, let's not talk about these first, Mu Feng now just wants to see what the strength of Ye Menghan, who doesn't like to fight, is.
didn't let Mu Feng wait too long, as soon as Ye Menghan and Xu Shangwen came to the stage, they fought with each other after reporting to their homes.
Xu Shangwen is a strength player at first glance, his fists are his weapons, and Ye Menghan is a speed player, holding a crescent-shaped delicate scimitar.
It can be said that this is a showdown of speed and power.
When he first came on stage, Ye Menghan tried to fight with Xu Shangwen in two moves, and found that his strength was too far from the other party, and then he used the method of fighting and kept interspersing back and forth in the ring.
I saw Ye Menghan surrounding Xu Shangwen, constantly turning, flickering left and right, up and down, as long as Xu Shangwen couldn't keep up with the rhythm a little, Ye Menghan immediately seized the opportunity to attack.
But Xu Shangwen is in good physical health, although he has been attacked many times by Ye Menghan, he has never done much damage to him.
However, Ye Menghan was not in a hurry, and kept circling around Xu Shangwen like that, looking for opportunities to attack.
On the other hand, Xu Shangwen has all his strength, but his speed is too slow, and he has been dancing on the stage for a long time, and he didn't even touch the corner of his clothes in a night dream.
This kind of duel is undoubtedly the most uncomfortable for Xu Shangwen, but he can't be careless yet, as long as he is careless or a little stunned, Ye Menghan seized the opportunity to bombard indiscriminately.
In Ye Menghan's heart, such an opponent, every time he attacks, he does not seek harm, but seeks harassment. Sometimes, physical damage is less deadly than psychological grievances.
It's this effect that Night Dream Han is pursuing.
Undoubtedly, Xu Shangwen was aggrieved, tired for a long time, so tired that he was already sweating profusely, and he was tricked by Ye Menghan with the trick of catching chickens with eagles.
"Little girl, can you not turn around, you have the ability to fight with me in a dignified manner!"
Xu Shangwen held his stomach and said.
"You are stupid to me! Your realm is higher than mine, your strength is greater than mine, and I fight with you in a dignified manner, so why don't you catch up with me first, and then fight me in a dignified manner!"
Ye Menghan "sneered".
Seeing Ye Menghan's play, Mu Feng complained in his heart:
"Although this little girl doesn't like to fight, she is very good at fighting, and with such a way of playing, the opponent's will will be worn out sooner or later, and it has nothing to do with strength. ”
Sure enough, no matter how radical Xu Shangwen was, Ye Menghan just didn't confront him head-on, after insisting on the two pillars of incense for a while, seeing that Ye Menghan was still at ease, Xu Shangwen had to admit defeat aggrievedly, and didn't forget to glare at Ye Menghan fiercely before stepping down.
The two have been fighting for such a long time, and the other three rings have long been decided.
So far, half of the top 16 have been produced, namely Ye Menghan, Nan Yudie, Ma Jiandong, Gou Yujing, and the previous Tai brothers and other four.
There was no break in the midfield, and after signing the life and death papers, the two sides continued to compete for a place in the round of 16.
One of the two sides in the No. 1 ring is called Wang Zhe and the other is called Zhang Zixuan, the two sides in the No. 2 ring are called Si Fan and Wang Ji respectively, the people in the No. 3 ring are called Li Biqing and Jia Xin respectively, and the opponents in the No. 4 ring are Wu Weide and Ou Tianming.
After a lot of time competition for half a pillar of incense, Zhang Zixuan, Si Fan, Li Biqing, and Ou Tianming defeated their respective opponents respectively and entered the top 16.
It is worth mentioning that the top 16 matches have now been produced in the top 12, but there have never been casualties.
In fact, this is also understandable, for these young boys and girls who have just entered the rivers and lakes, everything is possible to live, and for a small place, there is really no need to fight for their lives.
After all, gold will always shine, geniuses are geniuses wherever they are, and mediocrity, no matter how good a platform you get, can never get rid of the fate of mediocrity.
Of course, the mediocrity referred to here refers to the kind of people who have no talent and don't know how to work hard, and people who have no talent but work hard, and their achievements may not be worse than geniuses in the future.
When the referee announced the result of the final ring of the round, and after a brief silence, Night Breeze shouted again:
Kong Daoyuan, Feng Jiyun, Mu Jing, Zhao Man, Long Sheng, Wu Kun, Qu Zilun, and Mu Feng came up to sign. ”
As soon as the words fell, a voice came from the crowd:
"Qu Zilun abstained!"
Ye Wufeng didn't seem to expect such a result, and was stunned for a while before asking:
"Are you sure?"
"This is natural!"
Qu Zilun returned, and from his tone, he couldn't hear any unwillingness or regret, but a faint joy mixed in it.
Ye Wufeng didn't force it, and he couldn't force it, and after getting Qu Zilun's affirmative reply, he announced directly, saying:
"Due to the abstention of the player Qu Zilun, Mu Feng directly entered the top 16, and now I ask the other players to come to the stage to sign!"
For this result, Mu Feng didn't come back to his senses for a long time, was it because he was too lucky, or did the opponent really have a last resort, but no matter what, the first step towards the Holy Land finally began.
Due to the opponent's abstention, Mu Feng had to continue to be an audience, and there were only six people fighting in this round, namely Kong Daoyuan vs. Feng Jiyun in Ring No. 1, and Mu Jing vs. Zhao Man in Ring No. 2, which was also the only women-on-woman battle in the round of 16, and Longsheng vs. Wu Kun in Ring No. 3.
Mu Feng didn't have a competition, so his mind was naturally on the duel between Mu Jing and Zhao Man. It can be said that it is not easy for Mu Jing to come to the present with the initial level of Huahai, and if she passes Zhao Man's level again, it will undoubtedly be of great help to Mu Jing's future path.
Mu Jing said a cyan tight-fitting suit, with refined short hair, not smiling, the overall look is not beautiful, but it is heroic, quite a woman who does not let the eyebrows be bearded, acts in a hurry, simply and neatly, and on the whole, it is a very attractive type.
The opponent Zhao Man, on the contrary to Mu Jing, looks soft and weak. It's just that these are just illusions, and if they are really weak, it is impossible to get to this point.
What's more, Zhao Man is still a high-level cultivator of Huahai, and she looks at least two years older than Mu Jing, although her realm looks a little unstable, but after all, she is a high-level Huahai. And Mu Jing, although the foundation is quite solid, after all, she is the first stage of Huahai, and the realm gap is there!
Therefore, it is indeed not very easy for Mu Jing to pass Zhao Man's level.
"Little sister, you'll have to let my sister order it later!"
Before he started, Zhao Man handed Mu Jing a wink and said with a snort.
Mu Jing glanced at her and said:
"You tricks, save them for men! It's useless to me. ”
"Looking at your outfit, I thought you liked women!"
Zhao Man said as he "giggled" and laughed.
However, Mu Jing didn't eat her trick at all, and she didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, so she stepped forward and slapped Zhao Man with a palm.
Of course, this trick is just a false trick, just for temptation.
Zhao Man naturally knew that Mu Jing was just testing herself, but she dealt with Mu Jing's false trick as a real move. As soon as Mu Jing raised her hand, Zhao Man made a move with her arm, and there was an extra ribbon in her hand at some point.
As soon as the ribbon came out, it was like a poisonous snake winding around, twisting and turning towards Mu Jing's arm. Don't look at the ribbon is weak and boneless, but the speed is not slow at all.
Since Mu Jing was a temptation, she naturally had a follow-up move, but what she didn't expect was that Zhao Man's ribbon was so fast, and when she reacted, her entire arm had been entangled in the ribbon.
With one successful move, how could Zhao Man miss such a good opportunity, while Mu Jing was stunned, her right hand wrapped around the ribbon pulled back, Mu Jing staggered, and almost fell into his arms.
However, Mu Jing's reaction was not slow, she acted on the situation, clenched her left hand into a fist, and slammed a fist into Zhao Man's abdomen.
Seeing Mu Jing's fist slamming into his abdomen, Zhao Man took a step back, and at the same time kicked Mu Jing with one kick.
However, Mu Jing is also considered to have a lot of combat experience, and her left hand fist suddenly changed into a claw in the middle of the way, and she grabbed Zhao Man's ankle directly with one claw.
In this way, Zhao Man wrapped around Mu Jing's right arm, Mu Jing grabbed Zhao Man's right ankle, and the two formed a delicate balance, and no one could help anyone for a while.
The two knew that there was no way to go on like this, so after some exchanges, they decided to let go together and start over.
After shouting "one, two, three", the two let go at the same time, Zhao Man took back the ribbon, and Mu Jing also let go of Zhao Man's ankle, after all, they are all women, why should women be embarrassed by women, so the two did not break their promises.
Since then, the two don't know whether they sympathize with each other or for some other reason, outsiders don't know. Anyway, the two fought in a dignified manner, and there were no more bells and whistles, and in the end, Mu Jing reluctantly defeated Zhao Man with willpower and won the last top 16 seat.
When the referee announced that Mu Jing had won, the two girls were still lying in the ring and didn't understand anything, just stupidly "giggled" and laughed, and they didn't know what was going on between them.
So far, the top 16 of this year's enrollment of the four sects, four mansions and four mansions have all been produced, namely: Tai brothers, Mu Feng brothers and sisters, the city lord Ye Wufeng Qianjin also Menghan, and Kong Daoyuan and Wu Kun with Mu Feng and others.
The other top 16 candidates are: Kuai Zhengxin, Liu Rubing, Nan Yudie, Ma Jiandong, Gou Yujing, Zhang Zixuan, Si Fan, Ou Tianming and Li Biqing.
