Chapter One Hundred and Nine: On the Eve of the Tournament
On the imperial capital square of Bai Ze City, there is a statue of a goddess with curvaceous curves and a beautiful and dignified figure, which is as high as nine zhang. The stone of the whole statue is white and smooth, crystal like jade. The statue of the goddess has a pair of curved horns on its head, and the long hair that hangs down from the shoulders to the waist is carved with a feather that hangs down to the waist along the waist-length hair.
At the foot of the statue of the goddess is a nine-foot-high bluestone base, which records the relevant deeds of the ancestral god and one of the nine saints, "Yuan", of course, it is the myth and legend about the great contribution of the goddess Yuan to mankind and the country of demons.
The statue of the goddess Yuan is not only a symbol of the imperial capital of Bai Ze, but also a symbol of the entire country.
On the majestic and wide Imperial Capital Square, it is lively and crowded. The "National Divine Descent Student Selection Competition" will be held in the "Golden Crow Pavilion" in Bai Ze City, and the Imperial Capital Square is of course more lively than usual.
Bai Meiqi and his entourage of ten people led by Musan Village to the Imperial Capital Square, and after playing here, they will go to the Imperial Capital Inn. This time, the participating students and teachers from the twelve god-descendant schools in seven counties across the country all live in the Imperial Capital Inn, and all the consumption is of course borne by the state, and there is only a stick of incense from the inn to the Jinwu Pavilion where the selection competition is held.
The Imperial Capital Inn is huge and majestic, covers a huge area, there are two four-storey buildings before and after, the left and right sides are two rows of mangers opposite the wide stables, the long stables on both sides connect the front and rear two buildings, and a very wide courtyard is formed in the middle. The majestic building in front is the restaurant of the Imperial Capital Inn, and the building in the back is of course used for accommodation.
The guest rooms have long been arranged, there is nothing to worry about, one person and one room, and the country's handwriting is so atmospheric. At this time, the Imperial Capital Grand Inn was definitely the inn with the most divine descendants among the guests of the Demon Country, and those divine teachers and students from the royal family and aristocratic schools lived in the most luxurious upper rooms.
At sunset, Mu Sancun brought Tang Rong and Bai Meiqi, representatives of teachers and students, to the restaurant, and the table of the Heavenly Demon Divine Descendant Academy was on a large round table on the third floor. After they sat down, Xiao Er began to serve food after a while, and it was all arranged for food and lodging, of course, there was no need to order.
"Mu Laosan, haha...... I didn't think you'd be here, old boy. ”
Bai Meiqi was eating when a man who appeared to be in his early thirties came over, and it was this person who spoke. When Mu Sancun saw this person, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up, and said with a smile: "Brother Guan! Haha, I haven't seen him for many years!"
This person's name is Guan Xiong, who is actually in his forties, and he is a teacher at the Tianlong Divine Descendant Academy in Changfeng County. Guan Xiong smiled: "Yes! Since Tiannan Mountain parted, our brothers haven't seen each other for seven or eight years!"
The two sighed, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Guan Xiong left, but when this guy was talking, his eyes were not idle, and he looked at Bai Meiqi, the seven student representatives.
After Mu Sancun sat down, he lowered his voice and said, "This old bear cub actually took the opportunity to investigate." Wuyue and the other girls couldn't help but laugh when they heard the vice principal say that others were "old bear cubs".
Tang Rong snorted coldly and said, "The eyes are slippery, I really don't understand that guy, can you still see any fame?"
"People just take a look at it by the way, it's normal for people!" Tuoba Baoyu said on the side.
Tang Rong glared at him, and said angrily: "You are always big!" Tuoba Baoyu of course had a hippie smile.
Seeing this, Mu Sancun smiled and said, "Guan Xiong's guy has very poisonous eyes, and he still has a set of looking at people, but this time he has to look away!" Mu Sancun said and glanced at the willow bud. Indeed, Liu Shuya's small and lovely appearance, no one would have thought that she was the trump card among these student representatives.
"There's more than one person who looks away. "Of course, Tang Rong's fierce woman means that Bai Meiqi is enlightened, and the glory of her class can't be ignored.
Mu Sancun smiled and said: "This time, our students are strong, it should be no problem to enter the top three, the Tianlong Divine Descent Academy doesn't need to be taken into account at all, it is worth noting that the Dongtian Academy and the Noble Academy, those guys from the royal family and nobles." When Wuyue heard the word "noble", her expression couldn't help but change, this time it was inevitable that she would have to face the nobles of the Wu family.
Each country has only three places for the Divine Descent Academy, so the top three can enter the "Kyushu Divine Student Competition".
On the sixth day of the fifth month, the auspicious day of the zodiac, everything is fine.
The "National Divine Descent Student Selection Competition" in the Demon Country opened on today's auspicious day.
The Golden Crow Pavilion is very majestic, the audience seat alone can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and most of the official god-descended events held by the Demon Country are held here.
The dome-like arc of the Golden Crow Pavilion is inlaid with small incandescent lamps of various colors, arranged in an orderly manner like a chessboard, and there is also a giant crystal incandescent chandelier among them, which is extremely beautiful! And this giant incandescent chandelier is surrounded by eight golden pipes, the mouth of which is as thick as an arm, obviously not as simple as decoration.
At this time, the audience of the Golden Crow Pavilion was already full, and it was certain that there were no poor people among the tens of thousands of spectators, because the tickets were not cheap. In the middle is a ten-zhang square circle of the competition platform, surrounded by a fan-shaped rest area, which is divided into six large pieces, just enclosing the circular competition platform in a circle.
There are also seats in the lounge area, where the relevant personnel of the competition can watch and prepare. The teachers and students of the twelve god-descendant schools have arrived, and it is only a cup of tea before the competition begins.
There is a sparsely populated lounge area, and there is a table carved in mahogany because that's the official area where the tournament is held. The fourth king of the Demon Country, "King Rui" Xue Ziying, is the head of this competition, King Rui is six in his Chinese New Year's Eve, his face is like a crown of jade, three strands of beautiful hair under his chin, the king's aura is full, a brocade and jade robe is gorgeous, the only deficiency is that King Rui is just an ordinary person with extreme nobility.
Although Xue Ziying, the king of Rui, cannot become a godborn, he is very interested in the affairs of the godborn, and he has to participate in the big and small god-descendant events, with his noble status, of course, he is always in charge.
Xue Ziying's side sat an old man in his sixties, this person's name was Jian Wufeng, the top-level criminal character divine descendant, and the peer god Tianzun was also! Jian Wujian was the leader of the guards of the Rui Wangfu for many years, and he was also Xue Ziying's personal guard.
A delicate young woman picked up a vermilion lacquer box from the mahogany carved desk and came to Xue Ziying's side, and then she knelt on her knees and held the vermilion lacquer box high with both hands. Xue Ziying sat down so dignified, stretched out his hand and took out two golden sticks, he took a general look at the gold sticks, and then a middle-aged man bent down and took the gold sticks in King Rui's hand. This man was a low-ranking official of the Ministry of Rites.
The official of the Ministry of Rites glanced at the golden sign and said loudly: "The Giant Deer Divine Descendant Academy is fighting against the Chongchuan Academy. As soon as he finished speaking, another delicate woman took the two gold sticks in his hand and brought them to the mahogany carved desk, and in front of the desk was sitting a Confucian scholar, holding a brush and writing it down in the book. This Confucian is also from the Ministry of Rites, and his official position is two levels lower than that of the middle-aged man.
Of course, the voice of the officials of the Ministry of Rites was not enough for everyone in the Golden Crow Pavilion to hear, just to let Confucius write it down, and after King Rui drew lots, he would go to the competition stage with Lei Yinhua to announce and preside.
"Heavenly Dragon Divine Descent Academy vs. Heavenly Demon Divine Descent Academy......" The official of the Ministry of Rites was loudly announcing on the competition stage with a thunder sound flower in his hand, and there was a beautiful woman beside him holding a book that had just been recorded to assist.
When Bai Meiqi heard such news, they all had to sigh at the coincidence of fate, and the Heavenly Dragon Divine Descendant Academy was still in the same rest area as them. This is not a coincidence, Mu Sancun and Guan Xiong are old acquaintances, so the two parties got together.
The process of the competition is that the preliminary round is a lottery system, and the semi-final is a qualifying system until the top three are decided.
Each institution competes in six heads-up matches, two three-person team competitions, and one five-person team competition to determine the winners and losers of each institution.
The rules of the competition are that the two universities that are drawn against each other will advance according to the final total score of both sides, a total of three competitions, one point for winning a heads-up match, three points for a three-person team competition, and nine points for a five-person team competition, for a total of 21 points in nine games. This means that a student can only participate in a maximum of three competitions, and cannot participate in the same competition more than once.
There is also a ban on the use of extra-Indian equipment, no intentional injury to the opponent, as long as one party admits defeat, the other party must stop immediately, and the mentor who leads the team can also admit defeat for the players. Anyone who violates this prohibition will be disqualified!
The process of the preliminary round is that a heads-up match is held first, and only two players from each university will play every day, that is, a total of three days of heads-up matches, and there are 12 games per day. After that, take a day off and enter the three-person team competition, which will only play one game at each institution, for a total of two days. After the end, take another day off and enter the final five-person team competition in the preliminary round, which is only one game for each school, and it is also finished in one day.
After the preliminary round, they took a three-day break to enter the promotion round, and at this time, six god-descendant schools were eliminated. The qualifiers are based on the points of the six Divine Descent schools that won, and the details will only be known at that time.
