Chapter 151: Drawing lots

Someone suddenly appeared to find fault, Jiang Liu felt a little inexplicable, and asked weakly:

"Well, that's embarrassing, who is your brother?"

The man's face became even more gloomy, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said viciously:

"You remember, my name is Yu Dutian, you'd better not run into me during the game, otherwise I will definitely let you pay it back!"

After Yu Dutian finished speaking, he turned around and left, walking back into the ranks of the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect.

Jiang Liu shook his head, Yu Chentian, Yu Dusk, co-authored in the morning and evening, Jiang Liu said in his heart, you dance like this, sooner or later you have to fold it in my hand.

Jiang Liu followed everyone in line and entered the arena, came to the area marked by the Shenquan County Guard, and found a place to sit down.

The participating teams entered the venue one after another, and the seats of all the participating Tianjiao were arranged on the south side of the square.

When the Tianjiao arrived, a group of people walked up to a battle platform in the middle of the south row, and thunderous applause rang out from the audience.

The previous Chuyang Kingdom Kendo Tianjiao Competitions were all co-sponsored by the Sword Soul Palace, the Floating Cloud Sword Sect, the Xuanling Sword Sect, and the Chuyang Kingdom.

The top twenty in the Tianjiao Competition can get the trial of the Sword Soul Hall and have the opportunity to worship the Sword Soul Palace.

The top fifty in the Tianjiao Competition can choose to worship the Floating Cloud Sword Sect or the Xuanling Sword Sect.

The top two hundred in the Tianjiao competition can choose to enter the army of the Chuyang Kingdom and become a reserve officer, and after the assessment in the future, they can become a formal officer, or enter the administrative system of the kingdom.

Therefore, the kendo Tianjiao competition is actually a talent selection competition for the Quartet, and for the Tianjiao, it is a fate-changing test.

There were four people standing on the stage, and Jiang Liu knew two, the sect master of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect and the great elder of the Xuanling Sword Sect.

Come to think of it, the other two should be the representatives of the Sword Soul Hall and the Chuyang Kingdom.

Cheng Yuan, who was beside him, told Jiang Liu that the representative of the Chuyang Kingdom was the right minister of the kingdom, and he didn't know him from the Sword Soul Palace.

Jiang Liu was ready to listen to a long speech, but in fact, it was okay, except for the right minister of the Chuyang Kingdom, who was a little verbose and talked about the time of half a burnt incense, the other three were very brief.

After the four of them appeared, they returned to the VIP seat and took their seats.

The presiding deacon took the stage to preach the competition system and the rules of the competition.

Most of Tianjiao already knows these contents, but as a ritual, they still have to be read according to the script.

However, unlike in the warm-up game, although it is also required not to maliciously hurt the opponent or kill the opponent, there is no mention of the referee's direct penalty or even the right to kill.

Cheng Yuan told Jiang Liu that in the main match, the referee has the right to interrupt the game according to the situation, and will advise it to admit defeat if it is determined that one side will lose, but the referee has only one power.

In other words, if you don't admit defeat, the referee can't save you.

This gives both sides the most autonomy and makes the game even more intense.

What made Jiang Liu laugh was that there was actually a part of Tianjiao's speech.

A total of three participants from different realms were invited, and the three of them made speeches on the stage, which meant that they would abide by the rules of the competition and strive to achieve good results.

Next up is the main play, the group draw.

The number plates of all the participating Tianjiao were mixed together and shuffled and divided into six parts.

Each one is placed in a chest, and the six chests are placed on each of the six battle tables.

The referee team sends six people to draw a number at the same time, so that the six numbers drawn are a group.

The draw starts with the fourth order of the swordsman, and each realm is grouped by drawing lots in the same way.

The lottery process went very quickly, and there were various shouts from time to time in the field.

Some Tianjiao have studied opponents at the same level, and the opponents in the same group are naturally very happy, if they meet two or three strong opponents, they will inevitably complain twice if they have no hope of promotion.

The qualifying rounds are very important for most people.

There are now nearly 3,000 Tianjiao people participating in the competition, and after five group games, only two of the six people remain, and only 1,000 people are left of the 3,000 people.

Many relatively weak sects even aim to enter the ranking competition.

The results of the grouping on the Shenquan County side should be good, at least Jiang Liu didn't hear many complaints.

Soon, Jiang Liu's grouping results also came out, although Jiang Liu had not studied his opponent, he also knew that he had drawn a lottery.

The five opponents in the same group as him are from the four counties of Shenquan, Ligu, Longxi, and Yanshan.

The opponents of Yanshan County came from the Haotian Sword Sect, and the opponents of the other three counties were also from small sects that were not well known.

The grouping draws of other realms were also successfully completed, but when the swordsman was drawn in the ninth order grouping, Cheng Yuan's face was not very good-looking.

Most of Cheng Yuan's opponents in the same group are from the sect of the royal capital, and there is even one from the Floating Cloud Sword Sect, which can be said to have drawn a group of death.

When all the results of the drawing were in, the presiding deacon came to the stage and announced in a loud voice:

"Within half an hour, the referee will select three opening matches, and the opening game will start after half an hour, and all the heavenly pride must not leave.

Within one hour from now, we will accept applications for qualifier exceptions, and after the opening tournament is over, we will arrange special qualifier matches according to the order of cultivation from low to high. ”

After the presiding deacon stepped down, he fell into a commotion.

I was still drawing lots before, and even if I had any emotions, it was not good to show too much.

Now that there is half an hour of rest, how can these young Tianjiao still be able to bear it?

In the midst of the commotion, Jiang Liu noticed that the door had been reopened, and there were constantly spectators entering, sitting in the vacant seats behind the Tianjiao.

Jiang Liu saw that Cheng Yuan's interest was not high, and stepped forward to comfort him.

After a while, Qin Xue came over, pulled Cheng Yuan aside, whispered a few words, and when he came back, Cheng Yuan's face looked a lot better.

Qin Xue called Jiang Liu aside again and said in a low voice:

"Do you know the results of your lottery and why it is so good?"

Jiang Liu disagreed, and said with a smile:

"Is my draw result good? I don't care about the lottery result, I care about how you let me play?"

Jiang Liu is really not worried about qualifying, but if the opponent is very weak, Rong Wan'er may agree to win quickly, so that Jiang Liu feels more comfortable.

If there is a narrow victory or defeat at every turn, Jiang Liu feels that he must be suffocated to death.

For Jiang Liu, who was obviously pretending to be forced, Qin Xue rolled her eyes.

"I don't know how to beat me, don't ask me, Wan'er informed me of this.

But with the result of this lottery, I know someone is helping you. ”

When Jiang Liu heard this, his first feeling was that the four princes had come to sell favors, and they were willing to help themselves and had the ability to help themselves, except for the four princes, Jiang Liu couldn't think of anyone else.

Qin Xue and Qin Ye are also possible, but if they really are, they must tell themselves directly, and there is no need to sell Guanzi.

I didn't say it when I was drinking yesterday, but I asked Qin Xue to tell myself now, if it was really the fourth prince, it would be a bit hypocritical.

Jiang Liu said lightly:

"Who is so good to me and will help me so much?"

"Prince Qin Kuan!"

Jiang Liu was stunned for a moment and laughed.

If Qin Xue didn't say it, he wouldn't be able to think of the prince helping him, but as soon as Qin Xue said this, Jiang Liu suddenly figured it out.

I really can't imagine that the prince still has this kind of operation!

Jiang Liu also sneered in his heart, this prince is afraid that he will not be able to advance, and he will not be able to deal with himself happily!

There is no elimination in the second stage, and everyone has to clear the customs.

If your strength is not enough, you will be arranged by the prince like this, and you will encounter strong opponents in a row, and you will take the opportunity to kill yourself from time to time.

In that situation, Jiang Liu felt miserable when he thought about it.
