Chapter 131: The Qualifiers Begin
The first shift, the first shift later, should be past twelve o'clock. I just returned to the store and had a lot of things, and I have been busy for the past two days to resume normal update time. By the way, I asked for tickets, and the updates were late in the past two days, and the tickets were so few. )
Just when Su Wen was leisurely, the qualifiers for the martial arts tournament also began.
Su Wen was shocked when he heard Xinghui call and said that a total of 21,000 people across the country participated in the competition, and there were these just those who entered the qualifiers, plus how many of those who did not pass the registration?
However, if it is divided into more than 30 divisions, and there are only 6/700 people in each division, this number is much less. If it is divided into each city, there are only thirty or forty people, which is not outrageous.
On April 23, early in the morning, all the participants came to the registration location, which is also the location of the qualifiers.
When Lu Zhishen was pulled to the front of the stadium by Xinghui, there were already a lot of people outside, and when they saw Lu Zhishen coming to get out of the way, many people said hello to Lu Zhishen.
During the 5-day registration period, most of the contestants found out what kind of players needed to pay attention to in each arena.
In the Lu Provincial Division, Lu Zhishen is the first target on everyone's attention list.
After signing up for the test that day, the situation about Lu Zhishen spread all the contestants, so as soon as they arrived at the scene, everyone recognized it and made way for him. Just like that, he swaggered to the gate of the gymnasium with Xinghui and waited.
And Lu Zhishen has a bold personality, and these days I have met a few contestants who drink together in the hotel, and they drink extremely happily every day, and they also come over to chat a few words at this time.
"God forbid, don't meet Master Zhishen, my body can't stand your fist." A somewhat thin man joked.
"That's right, it's better to abstain if you meet him."
"Mage, you must be gentle, I'm afraid it hurts."
Several people giggled. That being said, everyone knows it's a joke. If you really meet it, even if you meet the king of heaven, you have to give it a fight. I don't even have this bit of energy, what kind of martial arts are I practicing? Go home and pick up the baby.
However, people are divided into groups, and most of the people Lu Zhishen knows are such rough men. After a few drinks and drinks, most of them know each other's temperament.
There are still many people around who are wondering if it is better to admit defeat when meeting the strongest person, otherwise they will be injured if they lose the game, which is really not cost-effective.
"Hmph." A young man snorted coldly, as if he couldn't get used to hearing them. Six or seven people around him surrounded him in the middle, all wearing sportswear embroidered with a few golden characters of the Weilong Martial Arts Pavilion.
Lu Zhishen and a few people around him didn't seem to hear it, and they didn't even give him a little bit of afterglow. As soon as you listen to the person who speaks, you will know who it is, Zhou Fang, and his strength is also good, usually there are five people and six people, and their nostrils are facing the sky.
People who practice martial arts are a little arrogant, but they talk to people with their nostrils facing the sky, and no one likes to pretend to be like this.
Feeling that he was being ignored, a wave of anger rose in Zhou Fang's heart, and he shouted to a few people around him: "Some people want to admit defeat before they get into the ring, it's really embarrassing, it's better to go home and nurse the child." ”
After saying that, he looked around with disdain.
The voice was not small, and the people around him heard it clearly, and some of Zhou Fang's companions were also thinking about other things in their hearts, and they were suddenly embarrassed when they heard his words, but Zhou Fang's status in the martial arts hall was also something they couldn't afford to provoke, so they had to smile in agreement.
Lu Zhishen naturally has no interest in such a role, others are originally joking, and they don't like Zhou Fang as a person, and they don't want to deal with it.
There were some people around who were thinking about who would admit defeat, and they felt a little embarrassed. Although he knew that he was right, if it was another person, others might agree, but he was not liked by others, and after speaking, he looked around like this, as if he scolded the people around him, and many people secretly scolded him in their hearts.
At this time, the door of the gymnasium opened inward, and the two staff members pushed the door aside, and all the contestants formed a crowd to enter.
Eight rings have been set up in the gymnasium, each with three tables and hundreds of chairs in front of it, and a circular platform in the far middle of the arena where the staff will guide all the competitors to stand before they are stationed.
Afterwards, two staff members came to the stage to give a speech, explaining to everyone the arrangements and some precautions about the competition system. These things are available on the official website, not to mention that this is not the first time that the competition is not the first time, and everyone knows it in their hearts.
In the qualifiers, the loser is out, two people play against each other, the winner enters the next game, and the loser is eliminated. The winners are drawn against each other, and the winner of the game advances to the next round.
There will be a round every two days, a total of four rounds, and after the remaining 35 people, six people will be randomly selected for another round of competition, and the winner will enter the round of 32.
After that, there will be one round of competition per week until the final champion and runner-up will enter the national round of 64. During this time, provincial TV stations also began to broadcast live, and every win gained a lot of popularity in the province.
I have to say that such a competition system is very compact, unless the strength is outstanding or the luck is excellent, even if you barely qualify, you will not be able to recover from an injury at all.
Every year, a hot seed loses in the next round to a player who is inferior to him after facing a very strong opponent. Although this format is inhumane to the players, it has a huge point of view. Even the most popular players dare not say that they will definitely go to the end, and dark horses appear frequently.
However, if the strength is too much higher than everyone else, it can easily appear. Such players do not appear in every region every year, but when they do, they are serious contenders for the final national championship.
After the speech, everyone reached the stands, and a huge screen in the stadium split into nine, eight of which had two numbers on each of them.
When the eight large screens stopped, two numbers were displayed on each screen, and each player had a corresponding number, and the players whose numbers appeared on the screen stepped down to prepare.
"I'll go up first." A big fat man who was one meter eight tall and weighed more than 130 kilograms grinned, said hello to Lu Zhishen and jumped down the steps.
His name is Haiyan, don't look at it, his whole body is trembling when he leaves, but no one dares to underestimate him, and many players have set their eyes on him when they see him get off the stage.
Not only because he threw 148 kilograms of punch during the test, but also because many people here have heard of his name.
Quancheng Haiyan, a local through and through. It is said that his ancestors were Mongolians, and he also practiced ancestral wrestling kung fu.
Although wrestling is not widely spread in modern times, it is definitely the most headache fighting skill in this kind of unlimited fighting ring, and there is no one. As long as they are entangled, few people will be able to escape. Therefore, many people looked at Haiyan and wanted to find his weaknesses in his game.
Soon, 16 people from 8 rings stood on the stage, all of them were shirtless, with practice pants and shorts on their lower bodies. Among them, most of the people who wear practice pants are from various martial arts schools, while those who wear shorts are mostly sanda Muay Thai and the like.
Haiyan's opponent is a man who is 1.75 meters tall and weighs no more than 70 kilograms.
The two stood there, the only difference in physique was that of an adult and a child. Although you can't see the player's expression from a distance, it doesn't look good when you think about it.
As the referee finished the rules of the game to the people in the field, he waved his hand downward, and the players on the stage moved one after another.
Hai Yan's opponent first moved quickly to Hai Yan's side, but after a few circles, he was a little at a loss. The layers of fat on Haiyan's body are not good-looking, and the general fist hitting that layer of fat is unloaded layer by layer, and in the end, it can play half of the effect at most.
But he didn't know where to start, Hai Yan had nothing to hesitate about. Don't look at him fat, but his steps are not slow, he took a few punches and kicks from the other party and forced the other party into a corner completely casually, grabbed the other party's shoulders with both hands and then turned around and fell, "Bang." ”
Many of the players sitting in the stands could feel that power, and a deep chill rose in their hearts. Although the strength of this opponent is not strong, the strong strength shown by Haiyan has also deeply shocked many people.
Even other pursuits were useless, and his opponent was lying on the ground and couldn't get up.
As the game progressed round by round, Lu Zhishen didn't see any noteworthy players after Haiyan, so he simply sat there with his eyes closed.
"Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, it's your turn." Xinghui pushed Lu Zhishen and reminded.
Lu Zhishen opened his eyes and swept up the stage, there were still people fighting in the eight rings, but the list of players in the next group had been listed on the central main screen.
No. 87, where Lu Zhishen is located, is No. 213.
At the same time as Lu Zhishen got up, another person stood up behind him with a gloomy face.
Because the speed of each group is different, as time goes on, the time for each screen to draw the next group of players is also divergent, so the two people who stand up are both players in the same ring.
Many people are still looking around to see which guy is so unlucky, and he has a pervert like Lu Zhishen, but after seeing that person, they all laughed.
Lu Zhishen walked into the field accompanied by Xinghui, heard the footsteps behind him and looked back, and turned around indifferently. But a lot of people in the stands were going crazy with laughter.
The opponent of Lu Zhishen's group happened to be Zhou Fang, who mocked a lot of people outside the court and was scolded in the stomach for overturning eight generations of ancestors.
Aren't you a cow? Aren't you proud? Take a look at it again?
