Chapter Twenty-Four: The Sword Tower
Lu Ming had seen the sword test towers in Ningdu and Xidu, but the two times he saw them were at the city gate, and standing in front of the sword test tower at this time, Lu Ming felt the majestic momentum of this heavenly building. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the center of the Western Capital, the Sword Trial Tower stands here, the tower is towering into the clouds, covering an area of no less than 100 acres. Lu Ming did his best to incorporate all the scenes around the Sword Trial Tower into his soul consciousness.
Seeing Lu Ming's surprised expression, Yan Junyao smiled and said, "What's the matter, it's spectacular." The first time we came here, we were shocked, and if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, who would have thought that there would be such an ingenious building in the world."
Lin Yuntian also said with a smile, "There are a total of three thousand six hundred entrances to the Sword Trial Tower, and there are a total of three hundred and sixty entrances on the first layer of the surface......
As he spoke, Lin Yuntian pointed upwards, "There are entrances and exits every ten floors of the Sword Trial Tower, but the entrances and exits above the fifty floors are only for the use of aircraft."
Lu Ming looked in the direction that Lin Yuntian was pointing, and saw countless airships and flying beasts of all sizes constantly entering and exiting the Sword Test Tower, and this scene alone made people feel spectacular.
When Lu Ming sighed, Lin Yuntian continued, "It is said that the Sword Trial Tower was created by the five major academies and the Dan Alliance Instrument Alliance. As long as you are a warrior, you can freely enter and exit the Sword Test Tower, and if you can reach a certain number of layers, you will also have a corresponding reward."
Lu Ming remembered that the bracelet on Yan Junyao's hand was purchased with the bonus she received from her promotion to the tenth layer.
Yan Junyao said with a smile, "There will be rewards on every tenth floor, but the rewards on the first fifty floors are all money, and the amount is very small, so it is not worth paying attention to." But from the sixtieth floor onwards, the rewards set are quite tempting."
Lu Ming immediately became interested when he heard this, and then followed Lin Yuntian and the others into the sword test tower. After registering his personal information, Lu Ming also knew a little about the rules of the competition in the Sword Test Tower.
There are two types of competitions, one is one-on-one individual battles, and the other is team battles.
Both forms use a points-based system, but the rules are different.
In individual matches, you will earn one point for each opponent you win, and if you win more than three matches in a row, you will receive the same number of points as you have won in a streak. The rules for deducting points for defeats are the same, one point will be deducted for each defeat, and if you lose three games in a row, the points will be deducted the same as the number of consecutive losses.
Compared to individual battles, the rules of team battles are a bit more complicated.
In order to participate in team battles, a warrior needs to register a team of his own, or join a team registered by someone else. However, only those who have been promoted to the top of 200 or more in individual battles are eligible to register a team, and if the number of players in a team is less than five, they cannot register.
Team battles are also won or lost in points, with the difference that no points will be deducted when a team is lost, while one point will be awarded for a victory.
In addition, even if you win a team battle in a row, you will not have a winning streak points, and you will only get one point for each victory. However, there is one thing that is more peculiar, and that is that in team battles, each team can bet on team points to achieve the purpose of accumulating points quickly.
It is worth mentioning that when a team loses in a team battle, resulting in zero points, the team will be forcibly cancelled from the test tower, and all members of the team will be disqualified from registering the team.
After understanding the rules of the competition, the waiter who explained the rules for Lu Ming continued, "Individual combat does not limit the means, even if a mistake leads to the death of the other party, he will not be held responsible. However, please keep in mind that when the winner is determined by the Sword Tower, the opponent can no longer shoot at the opponent, and the opponent has the right to hold you responsible for the disability in case of violation. In addition, if you cause the death of your opponent in violation of the rules, then the Western Metropolitan Government will sentence you for 'intentional homicide'."
The attendant paused for a moment and then said, "Generally speaking, as long as one side admits defeat, the Sword Trial Tower will immediately determine the winner, but there are still many people who die in individual battles, and there are even more people who are seriously injured and disabled. For the martial artists who have died, the Sword Trial Tower will not make any compensation, but the martial artists who are injured in the competition can go to the medical hall under the Danmeng for treatment, as long as they have the image of the on-the-spot competition, most of the fees can be waived......"
Although there were casualties in the competition in the Sword Test Tower, the rules set were quite humane.
After the waiter finished explaining the precautions, Lu Ming's first competition was about to begin.
To Lu Ming's surprise, the ring in the Sword Trial Tower was completely different from what he had imagined. In Lu Ming's impression, the ring should be a stone platform 100 meters square, but the ring in the sword test tower is a strange place.
This place has no borders, and the area is also huge, with jungles, deserts, and mountains...... There is a variety of terrains.
Lu Ming hadn't seen his opponent in this battle at this time, but he already knew the opponent's location, which was not sensed by Lu Ming's soul sense, but because of this side of the ring.
When Lu Ming was curious, the opponent this time was rapidly approaching him.
In just a moment, that person had already appeared in front of Lu Ming, this person was huge, like a small mountain, and even much taller than He Shan's figure.
When the man saw Lu Ming, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he threw a punch at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming immediately understood that this person was afraid that he was quite confident in his own strength, so he would choose such a straightforward way of fighting.
The opponent's fist is fierce and powerful, but Lu Ming can't help but smile, and secretly said in his heart, "If you want to compete in strength, I'm afraid you've found the wrong opponent!" ”
In an instant, the fists and winds met, and a sonic boom erupted in the air, and almost at the same time as the two fists collided, the big man who was as strong as a hill quickly retreated backwards like a kite with a broken string.
When the strong man landed, the sword tower also determined the winner of the competition, "Winner, Lu Ming"
Lu Ming smiled at the big man, then clenched his fists and said, "Agreed"
Before the big man could respond, Lu Ming's figure disappeared here.
When Lu Ming appeared, he had already come to the second layer of the Sword Trial Tower.
The first fifty floors of the Sword Trial Tower, every time you get a little point, you can advance to the first floor, Lu Ming was promoted to the second floor after the victory, compared with the first floor, the second floor of the Sword Trial Tower is not much different, and most of the opponents encountered are martial artists who have just risen from the first layer, for Lu Ming, who has entered the foundation and has many means, it is not difficult to defeat these opponents, after winning six games in a row, Lu Ming came to the twentieth floor of the Sword Trial Tower.
"Congratulations to Mr. Lu for advancing to the twentieth layer, this is the reward for advancing to this level, a total of one hundred gold"
After advancing to the tenth floor, the reward is ten gold, although it is not much, but it is enough for ordinary people in the Western Capital to live for a month, and the reward for advancing to the twentieth layer has been increased tenfold.
Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh in amazement, "One hundred gold is nothing for the rich, but it is a huge amount of money for the common people. Although this reward can only be claimed once per person, the population of the Western Capital is so large, and there are not a few martial artists who are promoted to the twentieth layer every day. ”
"This little brother ......"
A man's voice suddenly sounded in Lu Ming's ears, Lu Ming looked sideways and found that this person was looking at him with a sneer.
