Chapter Ninety-One: Dabi Begins
Bell, bell, bell...
The golden gong rang three times, and the crisp sound resounded throughout the martial arts arena, and the martial arts arena that was still a little noisy around instantly became quiet, and everyone's eyes in the arena looked at the big ring.
At this time, a referee dressed in black walked out, glanced around the field, and then said in a deep voice:
"Now let's invite a few VIPs to watch the game!"
As the referee's voice fell, everyone's eyes turned to the viewing platform on the martial arts arena, and Wu Xuan's eyes also looked at the viewing platform.
Under the gaze of everyone, I saw two middle-aged men who took the lead on the viewing platform, one of them walked in the front, wearing a yellow dragon robe, with a crown on his head, and walked with a sense of majesty and sacredness, Wu Xuan knew this middle-aged man, who was the monarch of the Tianyu Dynasty.
The middle-aged man who followed the monarch of the Tianyu Dynasty looked younger than the monarch, wearing a dark dress, and he looked very luxurious and calm.
"Wu Haijing!"
When Wu Xuan saw the middle-aged man who came out, his fists couldn't help clenching, and his breathing became heavy, this person was Wu Xuan's third uncle in the Imperial Courtyard, Wu Haijing.
Behind the two of them, they were also followed by two young men, and after the two of them sat down, the two young men behind them stood behind each of them, and their eyes also scanned the bottom of the martial arts arena.
The two young men behind Wu Haijing, one of them Wu Xuan didn't know, but he could feel the fluctuations of spiritual power in that person's body, and his cultivation seemed to have reached the peak of the ten veins, and his strength was strong, and the other young man next to Wu Haijing, Wu Xuan was also very familiar, it was Wu Xuan's eldest brother, Wu Tianyi.
After Wu Tianyi went to the Imperial Courtyard, he never came back, and now they finally met again.
"Eight Veins Peak!"
Feeling Wu Tianyi's cultivation, Wu Xuan muttered a sentence in his mouth.
It seems that when Wu Tianyi was in the Imperial Courtyard, he also got a lot of benefits, and his cultivation was even more solid.
Wu Tianyi was standing behind Wu Haijing at this time, his eyes also scanned the bottom of the viewing platform, and his eyes also flashed with contempt.
People like them who came out of the academy naturally looked down on ordinary cultivators like Wu Xuan, and the foundation he had polished in the Imperial Academy was not at all comparable to these ordinary people, which also doomed him to not be at the same level as them.
After Wu Haijing and the two sat down, four more teams of people came up, which were the people of the four major families in the Imperial City, their patriarchs, and several elders.
After all these people were seated, the group leader sitting on the main seat nodded to the black-clothed referee, signaling that it was time to start.
Because the Tianyu Dynasty belongs to the jurisdiction of the Imperial Pole Courtyard, there are only the elders of the Imperial Courtyard on the viewing platform, and the remaining two upper courtyards and the seven lower courtyards should also be here, but they just did not appear in everyone's sight.
After this competition, that's when the real academy chooses people.
"Ahem.. Now I'm announcing the rules of the competition!"
Seeing that the monarch signaled to begin, the referee cleared his throat and continued:
"There are a total of 698 people in this competition, in order to carry out the competition quickly, we will compete in the ten rings below at the same time, and there will be ten to thirteen people in each ring at the same time!"
Wow~~
"There are 10 to 13 people fighting in a ring, so how can you fight?
Everyone's eyes were a little confused, and they didn't know how to fight this kind of competition.
"Silence, silence!"
Seeing that everyone was in an uproar, the referee high-fived three times and shouted loudly.
Then he continued:
"Today we're going to pick the top sixty, so we're going to be in six rounds, so there's only one hour limit for each battle!
In this one hour, you have to defeat all the fighters in your ring, and only one of you remains!"
"It's not fair, it's not fair, so what if two strong men are assigned to one!
Listening to the referee's words, the people in the court below were still a little angry, some people shouted under the ring, and some of them echoed.
"Hmph, defeat is defeat, where do you get so many reasons, even if the strength of the defeated person is really strong, then it is considered his bad luck!"
The black-clothed referee snorted coldly and shouted directly.
Also, if the current team of more than 600 people wants to decide the top 60 within today, there will definitely be some unlucky cultivators among them, and they will encounter stronger than them, with the referee's loud shout, everyone in the field fell silent.
"You still have objections!"
The referee watched as the crowd fell silent, and asked in a deep voice again.
There was silence in the room, no one was talking.
"Okay, since there is no objection, then let's start drawing lots!" Saying this, I saw the black-clothed referee wave his big hand, and several middle-aged guards next to him carried three large wooden barrels over, and there was a hole directly above the barrels.
"Each of you will put your hand into the barrel and pull out a stone with the order of your appearance carved on it, in the first ring!"
After the guards had placed the barrels, the black-clad referee continued:
"Draw them in turn! You only have time for a stick of incense!"
After the black-clothed referee finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled the participants to start drawing stones.
Wow~
Everyone didn't dare to slack off, everyone walked to the barrel and touched a stone, Wu Xuan and the others were no exception, and when they were about to finish drawing, Wu Xuan and the others also walked up and pulled out a stone.
"Three, seven!"
Wu Xuan looked at the stone in his hand and muttered.
"Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan, how many are you?" Lin Fei was holding a stone in his hand at this time, his eyes looked at Wu Xuan eagerly and asked, at this time Jiang Xiaoya also came up, wanting to see Wu Xuan's appearance order.
Wu Xuan flipped over the stone in his hand, revealing the number pair on it for Lin Fei and the two to look at.
"Three games, seven fights! Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't meet Brother Xuan, I'm the fifth and second fight!"
Lin Fei also took out the stones he had drawn out and let a few people look at them, in Lin Fei's opinion, as long as he didn't run into Wu Xuan, it didn't matter who else was.
"I'm the sixth, ten!"
Jiang Xiaoya also took the stone in his hand at this time and said to Wu Xuanlai and the two.
"Wu Yong, give me your token, and I'll give you my token!"
When Wu Xuan and the others were chatting, they heard a voice not far away, which was Wu Tiancheng's voice.
"Brother Tiancheng, your ring seems to be with Yun Feifei, we have changed, I... I'm just..."
Wu Yong's tone was also slightly non-reluctant, there was no strong person on the stone he chose, and he was very hopeful that he could win one of the top sixty, he really didn't want to hand over the token in his hand.
Moreover, he also heard that Yun Feifei's ring and Wu Tiancheng drew a ring.
"Wu Yong, the interests of the family, do you understand! Besides, what's the use of you entering the top sixty, can you enter the top thirty, the top twenty, and the top ten?"
Wu Tiancheng looked at Wu Yong with some hesitation, stared at him, and said word by word.
"Good.. Alright!"
In the end, Wu Yong listened to Wu Tiancheng's questioning and reluctantly handed over the token.
"I'm obedient, I can still come here!" The conversation between the two fell into the ears of Wu Xuan and the others word for word, and Lin Fei muttered a little speechlessly.
Wu Xuan's heart was also calm, no wonder the referee above said so loudly and vigorously, it turned out that there was still this one below, and the order of the game could be changed.
"Okay, since the order is still arranged, then please enter the first competition!"
Seeing that the nouns had already been selected in the field, the black-clothed referee then shouted in a deep voice.
According to the referee's arrangement, the people in the first competition took the stones in their hands and walked into the ring.
When entering the ring, there was an extra guard on the ring, and the stone presented by the person on the stage was carefully examined, as well as the text on it.
As soon as everyone got into the ring, Wu Xuan saw the people in the ring clearly.
The competition ring is not small, and a dozen people go up, and it doesn't take up much space, and the scuffle of these dozen people can be tolerated.
Most of the No. 1 rings were six-vein cultivators, and there were two seven-vein cultivators, to Wu Xuan's surprise, Zheng Jian was actually in the ranks, looking at the situation, Zheng Jian should be the highest cultivator in it, and he should be able to enter the top sixty.
There was only one seven-vein cultivator among the dozen or so people in the second ring, but there were still a few six-vein peak cultivators among them, I don't know if this seven-vein cultivator could survive to the end,
On the third ring, Wu Xuan also saw an acquaintance, Zhu Haojie of the Zhu family, it seems that he is the leader of the third ring.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth seats, most of the cultivators are like that, most of the cultivators are about the same, and Wu Xuan is not sure who can take the lead.
It's just that Wu Xuan also saw an acquaintance in the eighth ring, it was Han Feng of the Han family, it seemed that Han Dali was a little unlucky, and he was actually in the same ring with Han Feng.
I don't know what Han Dali's mood is at this time, it is estimated that he is entangled to the extreme, but with Han Feng's help, he can definitely easily enter the top sixty.
On the ninth ring, Zhou Chenglong of the Zhou family is in Qilie, but depending on the situation, there is also a cultivator at the peak of the seven veins in the ring, and the foundation of that person is also very solid, I don't know if Zhou Chenglong can win the first place in this ring.
The people on the tenth ring, Wu Xuan is not very familiar, but depending on the situation, it should be very fierce, there are actually three seven-vein cultivators in this ring, although the cultivation is only in the early stage of the seven-vein, I don't know which of them can stay.
As soon as the people in the ten rings got into the ring, they looked at the others in the ring very vigilantly, and then they each came out to defend and retreated to the edge of the ring, paying attention to the changes of the few people around them.
On the highest ring, the black-clothed referee looked down at everyone, saw that everyone was ready, nodded, struck three more times on the golden gong, and shouted:
"Now, Dabi begins!"
As the referee's voice fell, everyone's eyes outside the arena were focused on the ten rings...
