8. Opening

The place where the autumn festival was held was not too far from the dormitory of the Yin and Yang family, and it was located in the center of the entire academy, and it was not allowed to enter until the early morning of the autumn festival that the fog gradually dispersed with the sunshine, revealing its huge body.

Viewed from the air, the arena is in the shape of a huge Fuxi Bagua, with stepped seats on all eight sides, which should be able to accommodate thousands of people in a rough calculation. In the center is an open field with a radius of about 100 meters, covered with large stone slabs with a faint blue light, which are neatly put together without a single gap. Sixteen stone pillars of equal spacing were erected on the perimeter of the site, each more than two meters high, with intricate patterns carved into them. Sixteen stone pillars are connected to form a circle three meters from the edge of the site, and I don't know what it does.

This place is not a practice ground for any branch, but has existed since the time of the academy's construction, and is used for major events, with the simple name of "Arena".

As soon as the clouds and mist surrounding the arena cleared, many students rushed in through the gate that opened wide as the fog dissipated. Due to the strict regulations of the academy that the things of the Yiyi Mountain cannot be used for sale and exchange, coupled with the problems of prizes and benefits that can be obtained, there are not many people who are interested in participating in the autumn festival, but there are a lot of students who want to see the excitement, and Bai Lu is one of them.

Pulling Zhou Miao to squeeze to the front seat, Bai Lu looked around expectantly, and kept asking, "Where is Long Qian?" What about the Floating? Why haven't they come yet? ”

Zhou Miaolei couldn't move holding a thick book, with a carton of milk beside her, she ignored the noisy environment around her, looked at the pages indifferently and said: "They are participating students, and they will only appear after the opening ceremony." ”

"What about Ji Gongzi? Why didn't you see him? He didn't participate in the autumn festival! Bai Lu continued to look around.

"He is the 'watchman' of the dragon dive, and he has the privilege of accompanying the dragon dive in the waiting area."

As she spoke, Zhou Miao gently turned a page of the book, and the morning sun sprinkled on her delicate face, making her expression look a little soft, but her voice was still cold, so flat without a trace of emotion.

Seeing that there were more and more people around, Bai Lu fidgeted and asked, "When will it open?" ”

Finally looked away a little at the venue, Zhou Miao closed the book and said indifferently: "Now." ”

At some point, a person appeared in the middle of the field.

"Lecturers and students, welcome to the opening ceremony of the 456th Autumn Festival of the Academy. The contemptible person is the master of ceremonies this time, the famous senior students Zuo Ling, Zuo Linghong. ”

As the gentle and elegant voice spread around, eight huge light curtains appeared in the sky, each corresponding to the eight square seats, and the figure in the white Han Dynasty robe was clearly displayed in front of each party seat.

With the usual gentle smile on his face, Zuo Ling slowly glanced at the audience, and did not say any clichΓ©s, but directly cut to the point: "There are twenty-four groups participating in this autumn festival, a total of forty-eight people, divided into three areas: heaven, earth, and man, and it is expected to take five days. The first three days are the selection competition, team competition, elimination system, one round every day, a total of three rounds, and the winning group of the three divisions is selected to obtain the qualification for the mountain of Yiyi Mountain. On the fourth day, the championship is held, and each group member competes one-on-one to determine the rankings. On the fifth day, prizes will be awarded, a closing ceremony will be held, and then the mountain will be opened. ”

After briefly introducing the rules, Zuo Ling raised his left hand lightly, and a complete battle list appeared on the eight light curtains.

"The competition will be held in the order of heaven, earth, and man, and the first is the eight groups of students in the heavenly region."

With Zuo Ling's introduction, the battle list disappeared, and the avatars of sixteen students immediately appeared, and he said: "Then, without further ado, let's start the first game immediately." Cheng Ye and Xiao Guhuan, middle class students of doctors, Nangong Piao, and middle class students of Taoist family, Cang Yan, middle class students of doctors. ”

The avatars of the four students whose names were named were immediately enlarged so that the audience could see clearly, but everyone's eyes were focused on that cold face, and the audience was silent, and then, as if the switch on the speaker was suddenly turned on, the people present suddenly made an uproar.

Looking at the two groups of students who walked into the venue with Zuo Ling's words, the audience was discussing.

Although I heard that three of the "Four Sons" in the academy participated in the competition, and many people came for this, no one expected that the most feared "Absolute Son" would appear in the first game!

"Xiao Miao, look! It's floating! It's floating! Bai Lu sat close, and she didn't look at the light curtain above her head, but stared straight at the people who walked into the arena, and grabbed Zhou Miao's arm tightly with both hands.

Zhou Miao knocked off Bai Lu's hand unmoved, poked the straw into the milk carton, and let out a faint "um".

Bai Lu's hands suddenly ran out of things to grasp, so they subconsciously clenched each other tightly, she wrung her fingers hard, and her face was so nervous that it was as if she was going to participate in the competition herself.

When the two groups of people walked to their sides, Zuo Ling smiled and said: "The two groups will fight, no limit on means, no time limit, once one side admits defeat or lands on the sidelines, or loses combat effectiveness, the winner will be calculated." After saying that, his figure disappeared from the spot in a flash, and then appeared in the gap between the sixteen stone pillars and the field, and said loudly: "The ban is on." ”

With his voice, the stone pillars on the edge of the field suddenly flashed with colorful brilliance, sixteen pillars of light shot straight into the sky, and then stopped at a position of about 100 meters, and at the same time, the light extended to the left and right, and in the blink of an eye, a huge cylindrical light shield was formed, enveloping the entire venue containing four people, and the five-colored light flowed, and then became transparent, as if it did not exist, without hindering the sight of people inside and outside.

After the ban was instantly opened, Zuo Ling continued: "The game begins." ”

As soon as Zuo Ling's voice fell on the field, Bai Lu became even more nervous, she twisted her hands vigorously, and stared at the field with big eyes without blinking.

"Why are you so nervous? That's Cang Yan and Nangong. ”

A leisurely voice sounded beside her, Bai Lu moved her gaze in surprise, looking at Zhang Longqian who appeared beside her, she couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Long Qian?" Aren't you in the waiting area? ”

"Today, all the contestants gathered in the waiting area to check their identities, so that no one will impersonate them, and they will check again before going on the field, and they will be free to move around at other times." Saying that, Zhang Longqian pulled Ji Haiyun to sit down next to Bai Lu, and then looked back at Liao Lei, whose expression became a little uncomfortable, and saw him sit down next to Ji Haiyun, only occasionally glanced at Zhou Miao from a few people, she couldn't help but laugh secretly, and then said to Bai Lu, "If this is not the case, those of us who estimate that the game will start in the afternoon will have to sit there and watch the live broadcast on the screen all the time, isn't it super boring?" ”

"That's right, this kind of good show naturally has to be watched on the spot to be enjoyable."

Not far away, a voice suddenly sounded and answered Zhang Longqian before Bai Lu, and then a person walked over with leisurely steps.
