On the weekend, Wang Lan wore a tight-fitting elastic T-shirt and a pair of jeans and went out with Devil May Cry.

When I came to Sioux City Stadium, there was already a crowd of people outside the stadium.

If your classmates are bad teenagers with an alternative painting style, then at the entrance of the gymnasium is a large-scale non-mainstream killing Matt and even anime martial arts character cosplay session.

Most of the people at the scene are dressed like things that only you can't think of without them, and there are girls wearing miniskirts who show their big white legs, but their faces are painted with watermarks. Wearing a sleeveless vest full of rivets, with a big bald head and a string of braids behind his back, I don't know what kind of hobby of the muscular man.

A man with eyeshadow, a swordsman with a nose ring, and a loli with a two-handed sword and a mace.

Anyway, Wang Lan couldn't understand the taste of this group of star warriors.

However, the image of Wang Lan is perfectly integrated into this group of non-mainstream people, because Wang Lan is wearing a moon-white mask at this moment, even if she is dressed normally, she is not normal with a mask.

Although the appearance of the star warriors is rough, and although the image is so maverick, they are still very well-behaved and line up one by one, and enter the sports venue in turn with the star martial arts certificate. When entering the venue, everyone is given a number, which is their identification number.

At this moment, the large square in the gymnasium is divided into twenty martial arts rings, today and tomorrow, eight hundred star warriors will compete here, and one hundred official competition players will be determined through several rounds of preliminaries.

Wang Lan signed up late, so his number plate is 700.

The preliminaries will not be broadcast, and no spectators will be arranged to watch the competition, which is an internal screening conducted by the organizers of the Star Martial Arts Competition. In the stands, which can accommodate 20,000 people, there are 800 registered players.

Wang Lan casually found a seat and sat down, and the organizer's amplifier loudly announced the process and rules and regulations of the pre-selection competition. After the start of the competition, the competition will be carried out according to the normal competition. Those who are knocked out of the ring, take the initiative to admit defeat, and have no strength to fight again are judged to be negative.

The organizers invited professional medical star warriors, which also made the contestants have no worries, and they were very thoughtful.

"I'm going to have a hands-on competition?"

"Isn't it better than appearance? Lao Tzu also specially painted makeup for three hours!"

"Nima, can I do this dress I wore today? are you kidding me?"

When I learned that this qualifier was really going to be a battle selection, many star warriors scolded the street on the spot.

Wang Lan was a little dazed, didn't it be written in the instructions for participating in the competition?

"Hello!" Suddenly, a voice came from his ear, Wang Lan looked away, it was a thin young man who could barely see the flesh. Wang Lan once had a relationship with him......

"Hello!" Wang Lan nodded back.

"I didn't expect you to participate in the Star Martial Arts Tournament as well. The other party's words had confirmed Wang Lan's identity, and Wang Lan turned his head to look at the other party. The other party smiled slightly, and his gaze fell on the Devil May Cry in Wang Lan's hand.

Wang Lan suddenly smiled, "It turns out that you recognized it by this, but I ignored it." ”

"No, you wouldn't have thought that you would meet me here, you participated anonymously?" Seeing that Wang Lan was wearing a mask, he guessed so.

"Hmm!"

"How did you come up with the idea of coming to the Star Martial Tournament? I guess...... You're still a student, aren't you?" Wang Lan is bored, and it's not bad to have someone to talk to.

"In order to hone the actual combat!" Wang Lan replied briefly.

"Actual combat?" the other party was very surprised, "You participated in the Star Martial Arts Tournament for actual combat?"

"Oh? I don't know. ”

"The key to actual combat is to kill the enemy with one move, but do you dare in the ring? No one will kill the enemy with one move, how to fight beautifully, how to fight chicly, how to be handsome. A sarcastic smile appeared on the thin bamboo pole's face.

"The battle of the Star Warrior, where is it so exciting?"

"Is this season the same as before?" Wang Lan wondered in his heart, if he faked it, no one would tell him how to fake it?

"The organizers of this issue seem to be close to actual combat and will never deceive. But with the word-of-mouth of the previous two issues, who knows if it's true or fake. Maybe not in this issue.

But let me tell you, if you really fight with the Star Warriors, they won't talk to you for half a word. There will be no warning when they make a move, and the shot is a killing move, and life and death will be divided in an instant. ”

Wang Lan looked at the other party's sincere eyes and nodded silently. These words, Huang Feilong once solemnly explained to Wang Lan, and Wang Lan also encountered them in the trial ground.

The star warrior who suddenly appeared and tried to get close under the pretext of being separated from his teammates, if it weren't for Jiang Xinyu's strength being strong enough, their team might have explained directly.

The other party's shot was a killing move, and Wang Lan didn't see clearly how Xu Xiangwen's two clones were killed by cutting their throats in an instant.

But not all students can have actual combat experience like Wang Lan, even if there are more simulated actual battles, they are not actual combat. If you want to believe that the battle between the star warriors is really so harmonious, I don't know how to die when the time comes.

And these words are not easy for anyone to say to someone they don't know.

"Thank you!" Wang Lan replied lightly, "By the way, why did you come to participate in the Star Martial Arts Competition?

"Famous?" the other party smiled disdainfully, "In the eyes of ordinary people, he is indeed famous." But in the eyes of true star warriors, those are shame. ”

"How?"

"The warrior is in the field, and the drama is in the palace. Star warriors are warriors who protect human civilization, not grandstanders. Star martial arts are not art, let alone ornamental. ”

Wang Lan smiled inadvertently at the corner of her mouth, but she didn't think so much in her heart, after saying so much, didn't you appear here?

"I'm in it for the money!"

"Money?"

"There will be a reward of 100,000 for successfully reaching the top 13, the top 720,000, the top 440,000, and 1 million for the semifinals, and the champion ...... Three million rewards. I just want to get that money, and I'll leave when I'm done!"

"You're short on money?"

"Missing!" the other party smiled and looked at the venue, the competition on the field had already begun, "My name is Hu Qing." ”

"Wang Lan!" Wang Lan replied in a silent whisper.

"Star warriors shouldn't be short of money...... Star warriors have welfare allowances, and even if they do jobs that ordinary people can do, their salaries are much higher than ordinary people. Who would have come here if it weren't for the urgent need for a sum of money. ”

Wang Lan silently didn't speak, just listened. Hu Qing seemed to want to find someone to pour out the bitter water, but Wang Lan didn't want to be his audience. One reason, we are not acquainted.

Hu Qing seemed to be somewhat aware, and quickly shut up, watching the battle in front of him intently.

"Wang Lan, look at that No. 77 player, his knife skills are very sharp and steady, especially the knife falling technique and knife changing technique are very skilled and gorgeous.

If he is on the battlefield again, he suddenly changes his knife and then kills the enemy by surprise with his left-handed knife. But the opponent he faced was a big step behind him in terms of swordsmanship. If it was really a real fight, Seventy-Seven should have picked off Ninety-Six's knife with one sword, and then cut off Ninety-Six's head with a backhand knife.

At this time, not to mention the medical star warrior, even if there is an immortal, it will not be saved.

However, in order to show his knife changing and falling skills, he frequently changed the knife and dropped the knife, and made so many ornamental but useless movements. Be careful when you meet him, be careful with his left-handed knife, his left hand is stronger than his right hand. ”

"Hmm!" Wang Lan silently listened to Hu Qing's explanation, analyzing it in combination with the battlefield in front of him. Hu Qing's eyesight is indeed very sharp, and he has a lot of experience, and there are still many questions in the commentary that even Wang Lan ignores or can't think of at all.

For a whole morning, nearly 200 duels lasted for nearly 200 matchups, and Wang Lan and Hu Qing did not play. And the first day of the first round of heats is bound to end, so the two of them should play in the afternoon.

At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the preliminaries were suspended, and all the contestants left the venue to eat outside, and continued at half past one in the afternoon. In fact, half of the players have already left directly after the game.

The winner will play the second game tomorrow, and the loss will naturally be eliminated.

"Let's go!" Wang Lan stood up and beckoned.

"No, I brought food. Hu Qing smiled and patted the package beside him.

Wang Lan stood up and left, and when Wang Lan turned around the venue, Hu Qing picked up the package and put it on his lap, and then slowly opened it, and in the package, there was only one white-flour steamed bun, the size of an egg.

Hu Qing gobbled up a steamed bun, then unscrewed the water cup and poured it down. After swallowing the steamed buns, he opened his mouth and smiled in satisfaction.

"The gymnasium is really big, after turning around, it turned here again......" Wang Lan's voice sounded, making Hu Qing tremble, and his face suddenly turned a little red.

"Speaking of which, I learned a lot of precautions and tips from you in actual combat this morning, and I benefited a lot. I don't embarrass you for a meal, right?"

"This ......"

Wang Lan slowly untied the mask on his face, "And there is still a fight in the afternoon, I don't want to see you tomorrow because you haven't eaten enough." ”

"Okay!" The other party was not a hypocritical person, and when he heard Wang Lan say this, he stood up and walked towards Wang Lan.

"Hu Qing, if I play in a real combat way, I won't foul, right?"

"Of course not, since the Star Martial Arts Tournament is advertised as a real battle, what's wrong with you playing the game in a real combat way? ”

"What do you think? Of course, the competition will not be a dead hand. I just want to know if I don't follow their old rules, and if I don't follow their old rules, I will be persuaded to quit. ”

"Hehe, try it. ”

"What kind of trouble have you encountered? Even if your family is in difficulty, it won't be so difficult, right?" Wang Lan recalled the scene he had just seen. This is no longer poor to describe, it is simply sad. Who would have thought that a dignified star warrior would eat a steamed bun that can be swallowed in one bite.

Hu Qing shook his head with a wry smile, "My sister has advanced bone cancer. The doctor advised us to give up, but we didn't want to let go, even if I fought for my life, she could live for one day, just one day. ”

Wang Lan didn't continue to ask, lowered her head and ate the food in front of her in two bites, "It's almost time, it's time to go to the sports hall." ”

Not long after the afternoon game began, Hu Qing was reported to the number.

"Little brother, I'm on the field!"

"Actual combat?"

"Actual combat!"

"What if the other person wants to be watching?"

"He won't, unless he wants to lose!" Hu Qing turned straight and walked off the stage, and then entered the sixteenth ring.

At the beginning of the game, when the referee's whistle landed, Hu Qing's figure suddenly leaned forward, like a sharp sword straight into the opponent's face.
