Chapter 69: The Eve of the Exchange Competition
During the period of Ling Chen's cultivation, the Los Angeles Martial Arts University outside was lively, for no other reason, but because the location of this year's exchange competition was set at the Los Angeles Martial Arts University.
At this time, in a certain office of Los Angeles Wuda, a group of people were discussing something.
"What about Ling Chen?" Ji Zhentian frowned and asked, "The competition will start in three days the day after tomorrow, what about the others?"
"Linglong Pagoda Middle ......" Jiang Shui'er was also here, she said a little helplessly: "I went in two months ago, and I didn't come to the selection." ”
"It's just not like words! How can he cultivate as a martial artist for two months?" Ji Zhentian was a little angry: "Until now, I don't know what his strength is, and I don't even know how to arrange tactics for his strength?"
"Principal, this year is a one-on-one competition, there is no team competition, and there is no need for any tactics. Someone below reminded.
"Don't you need tactics for one-on-one?Tian Ji understands horse racing?What else can you do besides fighting?" Seeing someone refute him, Ji Zhentian became even more angry.
"Forget it, don't care about him, if he doesn't come out tomorrow, just take him out!" Ji Zhentian thought for a while and said, "Now arrange the exchange competition." ”
"First of all, we have to have a referee, is anyone willing?" asked Ji Zhentian.
The venue of the competition is Los Angeles Wuhan University, and the referee will naturally ask their host to come out.
But after Ji Zhentian asked, no one replied, the referee of this kind of competition is not good, the sword has no eyes, it can not interfere with the progress of the game, and no one on both sides can be too seriously injured.
"Qianyu, you can be this referee. Seeing that no one answered, Ji Zhentian began to roll call.
This is called Qianyu's top boss Li Qianyu, the black-clothed young man Wuzun, Ji Zhentian is also afraid of making mistakes, so he specially picked him as Wuzun.
"Yes. Li Qianyu replied weakly.
"If you lead the team, the teacher will be Jiang Shui'er. ”
The main role of the team teacher is to arrange tactics for the ten participating players (three substitutes), play smoothly, and admit defeat on behalf of the team members when necessary.
"Two more commentators. ”
Since there are not only martial artists in this game, but also some ordinary people who buy tickets to watch it, and even TV stations come to broadcast it live across the country, so it is natural to have two commentators, otherwise those ordinary people will not understand it very well.
"Qiao She, Cai Xueli. You two are going to do the narration......"
............
In this way, Ji Zhentian commanded one by one, while Ling Chen was still completing the last step of refining his body in the Linglong Pagoda......
Ling Chen sat cross-legged in the starry sky, his skin was red, the muscles on his body were bulging, his neck was full of blue meridians, there was a painful expression on his face, and beads of sweat the size of beans were slowly dripping.
"Hmm~" Ling Chen snorted lightly in some pain, trying his best to endure the burning pain all over his body, this state has lasted for nearly ten days, and the pain can be imagined.
Finally, another night passed, Ling Chen felt the pain in his body gradually weaken, the power of the Hundred Beast Flowers in his body gradually weakened, and after a few minutes, the skin on the surface of Ling Chen's body began to gradually return to normal.
"Whew~" Finally, Ling Chen breathed a sigh of relief, exhausted the energy of the Hundred Beast Flowers in his body, and reached the realm of the middle level of a military general.
"This is the difference between two billion elixirs and one billion elixirs, right?" Ling Chen opened his eyes and said this sentence first.
is also to improve strength, one is extremely comfortable, and the other is like being roasted on the fire.
"Isn't this the elixir for forging the body?" said the little dragon girl, "Although it lasts a little longer this time. ”
"Is this a little longer?" Ling Chen still had palpitations when he remembered his experience in the past ten days, he had been burned by fire for ten days, how did he feel?
"You're ready to go out. Seeing that Ling Chen was still not in a hurry, and wanted to discuss with herself the question of "longer or much longer", Xiaolongnu couldn't help but remind: "The exchange competition will start tomorrow, you probably have to go out and prepare." ”
"!" Ling Chen froze: "Tryout!" He finally remembered that there was still a tryout.
Ling Chen quickly exited his cultivation state, took his student card, and rushed out of the Linglong Tower.
"Hey, Ling Chen, Mentor Jiang Shui'er asked you to find her after you went out......"
The voice of the person in charge of the Linglong Pagoda came from behind.
"Got it!" Ling Chen replied without looking back.
But after running for a while, Ling Chen remembered that he didn't seem to know where Jiang Shui'er was now, so he wanted to take out his mobile phone and ask, but when he took out his mobile phone, he saw that there were two missed calls, one was Chen's mother's, and the other was Li Mi's.
Ling Chen called Chen's mother back first.
"Xiaochen?" the phone was connected, and Chen's mother's voice was answered.
"Well, I didn't receive a call when I was cultivating a few days ago, is there anything wrong?" Ling Chen asked.
"I can't call you if it's okay?"
"Uh...... No, I mean ......"
"Xiao Chen, will you play in your school's game tomorrow? Your mother asked you if you had tickets for your school's game? He wanted to go to the school to see you. Without waiting for Ling Chen to explain, Chen's father took his mobile phone and asked.
"It's supposed to be playing, but I don't know the tickets. Ling Chen was now in a rather confused state: "I'll go and ask." ”
"Okay, then I won't disturb your cultivation. Dad Chen was about to hang up the phone as he spoke, for fear of disturbing Ling Chen's cultivation.
"Wait a minute...... I haven't said it yet...... "Dudu ...... "Chen's mother's voice came from the other end of the phone, but she hung up randomly."
Ling Chen smiled and shook his head, thinking that he seemed to be a little derelict in his duties, even if he hadn't been home for so long, he hadn't even made a phone call, he must remember next time!
Ling Chen immediately called Li Mi's phone again.
"Crooked, Brother Chen?" Li Mi's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter?" talking to Li Mi, Ling Chen was a lot more casual.
"Isn't there a game tomorrow at your Los Angeles Martial Arts University? Do you have a ticket?"
"No, get out. ”
"Don't, Brother Chen......"
"I'll help you ask," Ling Chen thought about it and thought that he still had something to do, so he couldn't chat here: "If you have one, I'll get you one." ”
"I want two!" said Li Mi.
"Coming with your friends?"
"No, I'm with my girlfriend, I'm studying ......"
"No, get out!" Ling Chen hung up the phone directly.
Immediately, Ling Chen dialed Jiang Shui'er's phone again: "Hey, teacher......"
"Come to the Tianshui Room. Jiang Shui'er only said this sentence and hung up the phone, and her tone was not good.
"Okay. Ling Chen put away the phone and went to the Tianshui room nervously.
A few minutes later, Ling Chen knocked on the door of the Tianshui Room.
"Come in. Jiang Shui'er's voice came.
Ling Chen pushed the door and went in, and found that in addition to Jiang Shui'er, there were nine other students, basically the top ten in the freshman competition, and only one or two were new faces.
"Do you still know about it?" Jiang Shui'er looked at Ling Chen with an unkind expression.
"I have broken through the military generals and reached the middle level of the military generals, and I will definitely beat the first rank of the martial king!" Ling Chen hurriedly said.
"Okay, it's okay, sit down. ”
Everyone: "......"
"Now we start talking about the rules of the game, but before that we need to choose a captain. Jiang Shui'er said, "Who do you think is suitable?"
Everyone looked at Ling Chen in unison, Ling Chen's strength they had seen, even if he was still in the freshman competition, few people could beat him, let alone now that he was going to beat the Martial King.
"Okay," Jiang Shui'er nodded: "Then Zhang Ying will be the captain." ”
Everyone: "???"
Can't afford to play?
It seemed that Ling Chen was a little unconvinced, Jiang Shui'er explained: "Two reasons, first of all, others will subconsciously feel that the captain must be the strongest in the team, no one would have thought that Ling Chen, who is a mid-level general, would be the strongest one in our academy, and he could catch the other party off guard, and secondly, Ling Chen's handling is too unreliable, and the captain needs a person who is stable and focused." ”
"Do you hear it, be steady. Zhang Ying tilted his head and whispered to Ling Chen.
"When you go up, you will be beaten up by someone when you go up, and it will be useless. Ling Chen smiled.
"I'm ......" Seeing Ling Chen mention this again, Zhang Ying was a little crazy: "Look at it! I am already at the peak of the general!" That's right, Zhang Ying has gone from a middle-level martial artist to a peak martial general today in three months.
"No one would have thought that Ling Chen, a mid-level martial general, would be the strongest one in our academy. Ling Chen said in Jiang Shui'er's tone.
"......" Forget it, don't talk to this kind of person next time.
"You two don't talk. Jiang Shui'er looked at the two of them helplessly.
The others snickered, how did the first and second two look at it...... It's not very steady.
"Then continue to talk about the rules," Jiang Shui'er said: "A total of ten Wuhan universities participated in this exchange meeting, the first round is a knockout round, drawing lots, the winning school enters the top five, and the losing school is directly classified into the bottom five." But you don't have to worry about meeting Beijing Wuda and Demon Capital Wuda in the first round, because there is an unspoken rule here, the top three schools ranked last year in the first round will not meet each other, which is also for the sake of the accuracy of the ranking and the excitement of the competition. ”
Everyone nodded, indeed, it would be a little embarrassing if they drew the Capital Martial Arts University or the Demon Capital Martial Arts University in the first round.
"Then the top five and the bottom five will enter the qualifying competition respectively, and the top three schools will be ranked one to ten, and the top three schools can get the attribute forging room. "Obviously, the little dragon girl has already told everyone about the forging room before.
"In the first round of the competition, there are three people from each school, and then one by one they compete on the stage, and the winner can stay in the ring for the next competition until they lose. ”
"The rules are the same in the second round of qualifying, but each school has to send five people, so this is more important to the overall strength of the school, and it is more difficult to rely on a stronger genius to directly penetrate five. ”
"There is also an additional rule, all seven members of the official team must have played, so in the first round of elimination, I will arrange for the weaker of you to play, and the later qualifying matches will depend on the stronger of you. If a regular player is injured too badly to play during the game, substitutes are substituted. Got it?"
"Understood. The crowd nodded.
"There are also some opponents' news, let me reveal them to you, so that you can have a bottom in your hearts. Seeing that everyone nodded, Jiang Shui'er continued: "The S-level martial artist of the Capital Martial University has reached the high level of the Martial King, but for some reason she will not play in this competition, it is said that she is practicing a secret method, and she can't do it for the time being, but don't be too happy, they still have a Martial King, and he is already a Martial King middle level." ”
"Has Gong Xiaoyan already reached the middle level of the Martial King?" There is no doubt that the other Martial King of the Capital Martial University is this Gong Xiaoyan, and Ling Chen's progress and others are also improving.
"The S-level Martial King of the Demon Capital Martial Arts University is also a middle-level Martial King, and he has fought undefeated against the high-level powerhouses of the Martial King. ”
"In addition, there is also a Martial King Beginner Rank of Xuanying Martial University, Ling Chen, do you have to deal with this Martial King, do you know?" Jiang Shui'er said to Ling Chen.
"Understood. Ling Chen nodded, it shouldn't be difficult for him to get the Martial King Beginner now, but if he smiled at the Upper Palace...... Ling Chen didn't want to lose to him.
"It would be better if you could solve Gong Xiaoyan, it is said that those cultivation rooms are also good and bad. He spoke and spoke again.
"You guys think too highly of me...... aren't you" Ling Chen was a little speechless, he was just a small general, why did he have to fight the Martial King by himself?
"The words of other schools should be Martial King, but it is not ruled out that the situation of hiding strength is not ruled out, in short, you have to take it seriously. Jiang Shui'er said.
"Understood!" everyone nodded.
"Okay, you all go back, Ling Chen stays. ”
The crowd got up and left.
"Are you sure you can beat the Martial King Beginner?"
When everyone left, Jiang Shui'er asked uneasily, it seemed that he was still not at ease.
"If it's a normal Martial King beginner, there's no problem. Ling Chen promised.
"That's fine. Jiang Shui'er nodded: "Also, there is a big family behind Wang Qi you killed last time, there is a Wuzun grandfather, last time I came to Luocheng Wuda to trouble you, but was blocked back by Li Qianyu, by the way, Li Qianyu is the head of the teaching department of our school, and he is also a strong Wuzun." ”
"So tomorrow, someone from their family may come to trouble you, but you don't have to worry, there is nothing right or wrong about killing people in the war zone, the school will help you stop it, and talking to you is just for you to be mentally prepared. ”
"Understood, thank you, mentor. Ling Chen thanked.
"There's nothing to thank, you're a student at Los Wuhan University, the school naturally won't let you be bullied, all you have to do is play well. ”
"Hmm. Ling Chen nodded, feeling a sense of belonging to this school for the first time in his heart.
"By the way, mentor, do you still need a ticket to watch the competition tomorrow?" Ling Chen didn't know anything about these things now because he came out late.
"These tickets are sold to the public, of course, there are so many people who want to come that it's hard to get tickets, but you don't need tickets to invite a few people as a member of the team. ”
"Good. Ling Chen nodded, that would be convenient.
"Your parents are coming?" Jiang Shui'er suddenly asked.
"Yes. Ling Chen nodded.
"Then you'd better not bring them here. ”
"Why?" Ling Chen was puzzled.
"Because every year the game is miserable, and even if there are too many injured people, there are not enough substitutes. Jiang Shui'er said: "If you don't want your parents to worry, don't let them come, although there is also a live broadcast on the computer, but it is better than watching it live." ”
"Okay, thank you for the reminder. Ling Chen thanked.
"Just go if it's okay. ”
Ling Chen turned to leave.
After going out, Ling Chen thought about it and called Li Mi directly, asking him to come over tonight, because tomorrow the exchange competition will begin, and there will definitely be a lot of people and trouble.
As for Chen's father, Chen's mother's side, Ling Chen listened to Jiang Shui'er's suggestion and directly said that there was no ticket, Ling Chen felt that it would not be good for others to see him or cut others with a sword when the time came.
That's right, the sword.
Ling Chen suddenly thought that his heavy sword hadn't been delivered yet, so he immediately called Ni Tianyang's phone.
"Hey, Uncle Ni?" Ling Chen asked.
"Yes, do you want a heavy sword? I was ready for a long time, but you have been cultivating before, and I can't give it to you. Ni Tianyang's voice came from there: "Tomorrow morning...... No, I'll ask Qianxue to send it to you later. Ni Tianyang wanted to explain that he brought Ling Chen over when he went to watch the game in the morning, he still had a certain status as the head of Luocheng District of the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce, and was invited by Luocheng Wuda University.
But he thought that Ling Chen was going to compete tomorrow, and he might have to familiarize himself with the new weapon tonight, and then let Ni Qianxue come over...... The two can still get close......
After all, Ni Tianyang is still Ni Qianxue's father, and he knows her well, and he can see that Ni Qianxue's attitude towards Ling Chen seems to be different...... As for why it had to be sent at night, it was not Ni Tianyang's intention, because it was already noon, and Ni Qianxue was not in Los Angeles for the time being, and it would probably be evening when she flew back......
Of course, Ling Chen naturally didn't think of so much, he only had a heavy sword in his eyes, and he was very much looking forward to his new weapon......
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Ni. ”
"You're welcome. ”
............
When Ling Chen was walking on the road, he found that there were already many more people in the school at this time, and some people had been allowed to enter since the beginning of the past two days.
These people looked around as if Ling Chen had entered Los Angeles Martial Arts University for the first time, and they were very curious about everything.
Los Angeles Martial Arts University has also made a lot of preparations for this exchange competition, for example, the school has hung a lot of banners, the most exaggerated thing is that Ling Chen found that the martial arts arena has actually become an open air, the previous roof is gone, and there are thousands more seats out of thin air, extending to dozens of meters in the air.
But Ling Chen didn't care much about these things, how could he take the first place?
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Ling Chen lay down on the sofa to rest, he didn't dare to cultivate now, otherwise the competition would be over when he woke up later, wouldn't Jiang Shui'er and Ji Zhentian want to kill him.
