Chapter 389: The Contest Begins!
……
September 5th.
Clear.
Finally, 5,000 teams completed the qualifying round.
… God knows what method the church used.
At the time of the 2nd, there were only 6 teams in the Knight's Castle.
- Huali High School, Wolnashi High School, Hulin High School, St. Hughes College, Shengya High School, and Qinglan High School, which arrives at 8 p.m.
On the afternoon of September 3, Knights City welcomed nearly 1,000 teams.
On the 4th of September, there were even more, with more than 2,000 teams arriving at the Knights' City.
It was even more exaggerated early this morning, and in just half a day, there were more people than there were people who came all day yesterday.
But then again, no matter how many people there are, only the first 5,000 teams will be able to participate in the subsequent competitions.
At this moment, the complaints of students can be heard all over the city.
Many teams waited until they arrived at Knight City to thoroughly understand the selection rules for this qualifying tournament.
Caught off guard, it becomes a cheerleader.
The 5,000 participating teams were also notified by the competition committee.
- At two o'clock in the afternoon, attend the opening ceremony in the place of honor and conduct the first competition.
There are only three competitions in this Knights Competition, namely the solo competition, the team competition, and the melee competition.
The original survival competition, racing competition, and competitive competition have all been canceled, but some of the rules have been integrated into the above three competitions, and it is not clear how they are integrated for the time being - those materials are not stored in the computer, and Zhao Guoguo has not been hacked for a long time.
Su Mu didn't go out much in the past few days, and concentrated on adapting the remaining 87 runes.
The main skills of Dragon Soul, Steel Skin, Heavenly Thunder Method, Ghost Eclipse Sword Technique, Giant Spirit Slash, Giant Spirit Shield, and Wanhua Shield have also been leveled at level 4 and re-mastered.
There are 31 points left.
The Xue Jing Dustless Style and the self-created "Nameless Sword Technique" also had a power that was not weaker than that of the Fourth Order under the discussion between him and Mu Li.
The nameless swordsmanship is actually not called "nameless", but it really has no name, Su Mu didn't bother to take it, so he made do with it first, and it was not too late to think about it when he would teach it to others.
After all, it would be a waste of time to think of a name instead of a name.
……
……
Half past one in the afternoon.
After everyone had eaten, they cleaned up briefly, and then came to the north of the town to gather.
The streets, which had been empty a few days ago, were now overcrowded, but fortunately, with the staff of the competition committee maintaining order and organizing students to line up, it did not appear crowded.
At the end of the street are five brand-new teleporters, similar to those of the hunting center, consisting of four metal rings with a blue light curtain embedded in the ring, full of technology.
This is the "new generation of transportation" sent by the church in the past two days, through which you can directly enter the battlefield of the land of honor.
- The Land of Honor is the main arena of the Knights' Tournament.
It's funnel-shaped like the Colosseum, but it can hold a full 3 million spectators, covering an area 20 times the size of the largest F1 arena on Earth. And after this renovation, the Land of Glory can be said to be a collection of the most cutting-edge technology currently on the Blue Star.
Because the rules of the tournament are different from the past, not all battles in this tournament will be held in the arena, but in a specific world.
The originally vast battle area in the middle is covered with a black and shiny screen, and with various surrounding equipment, a 360% stereoscopic virtual projection can be formed, and everything that happens in the other world can be broadcast live.
In order to make people feel that the tickets are worth the money, the entrances to each different world are still set up in the venue... After all, if you spend hundreds of thousands of tickets and you can't see the real person, the audience is afraid that they will be emotional.
There are also more judges than ever before, with 2,000 judges.
The three rows at the front of the auditorium are staffed.
In addition to the referees, there were also the Knights who were transferred from the Council of the Holy Representatives to ensure that there were no major accidents in the game, as well as reporters from major media outlets, and high-ranking officials within the Church.
The regent Gimmer was also among them.
A man and a woman sat on his left and right sides.
The three of them laughed and talked as if they were old friends.
But if you look closely, you can see that there is a hint of respect in Gimmer's expression.
At two o'clock,
Gimmer looked around and surveyed the room.
The atmosphere at the scene was very hot.
The audience was quite excited, discussing their favorite teams loudly.
They all had bells and whistles on their faces and all sorts of names on them.
The two words with the most are "Su Mu".
Gimmer nodded with satisfaction, gave a look to the staff on the side, and signaled that the opening ceremony could officially begin.
There is no doubt that the tournament was a great success.
Whether it is live or live, the total popularity is far more than before.
In the past, the place of honor was also full of seats, but the enthusiasm of the audience was not at all as good as it is now – as evidenced by the price of the ticket.
The highest ticket price in the history of the Knights Competition is 20W, and that time it was because there was a talented knight group from Huali High School, and countless viewers forced the ticket price of less than 10,000 to 20 times for them.
And this time the ticket price is 500,000, that is, 50 times the official price, and the reason is still the knights of Hanashi High School.
I have to admit that history is sometimes strikingly similar.
Even this time Huali High School was more fierce than Huali High School at that time.
Only by uniting two teams, a total of 55 people, they successfully fought back against the beast tide and cleaned up the Soshua hunting ground, and no one was seriously injured or killed. This kind of record, even those guys from the first university may not be able to do it.
Gimmer had the idea of sponsoring the students to the Pope to join the Knights of Daybreak.
Rankings don't really matter that much, as long as they can maintain their popularity.
Especially the student named Su Mu.
The character is very good.
Not only does there be no stain on the resume, but it has also won quite a lot of honors.
——Huali High School ranked first in personal strength, ranked first in the overall ranking of the club, and the best auxiliary police officer of the Law Enforcement Bureau, and once cracked six major criminal cases, including the [Murder in the Hunting Market], the [Murder at Shengzhe Airport], the [Counterfeiting and Theft of Museum Cultural Relics], the [Smuggling of Potential Overdraft Potions] and the [413 Interracial Invasion], which directly avoided the danger of the church's destruction.
It is no exaggeration to say that for the Mara Church, Su Mu and his Dawn Society are the heroes who save the world.
On the other hand, when these honors were not announced, Su Mu still won the support and admiration of the vast majority of the people, which proved his strength and personal charm.
Reasonably, Gilmer couldn't find a reason not to focus on cultivating the Dawn Society.
Now that the Awakening Potion has been born in Huali High School, the Mara Church will soon become a country where all the people are soldiers, and the Dawn Society is undoubtedly the best person to rule them - which is why he didn't care about Hurled's suspected large-scale "private recruitment".
The Mara Church has a population of more than one billion, and if all of them become cultivators, the current church will definitely not be able to manage it, and the best way is to hand over some people to other organizations, and the church only needs to be responsible for connecting with various organizations.
Gilmer is not worried about the so-called rebellion in the mouths of the citizens at all - after all, the cultivation resources of the fourth order and above are under the strict control of the church, and they can't get the corresponding battle uniforms and skills, no matter how many people there are, they are just a group of rabble, and they can't make any waves, not to mention that the Pope will soon be able to break through, and with his sixth-order strength, it will only be an easy matter to suppress the turmoil.
After all, in the final analysis, this society still respects the strong.
After a while, a passionate battle song sounded in the venue.
At the same time, the screen in the middle battle area also lit up, and then projections appeared.
The audience seemed to realize something, and they quieted down very tacitly.
They looked at the projection in the field.
I saw twenty teenagers and girls wielding weapons, fighting and killing all kinds of demon beasts.
The battle was fierce.
The monsters fell one after another, and the wounds on the bodies of the boys and girls also increased.
Someone even accidentally struck a claw, and the entire back was instantly soaked in blood.
The wound was deep and bone-seeping, and it was very penetrating, but they didn't realize it, and they only gritted their teeth and became more and more courageous.
Suddenly, the projection was replaced by another team.
The battle situation of this team is even more miserable.
In the face of the siege of the demon beasts, several of them had lost their combat effectiveness, covered in blood, and weakened. But they still didn't give up, nor did they ask the referee for help, but fought by themselves, protected their injured teammates behind them, and fought their way out...
Many viewers clenched their fists.
The projection continues to switch again.
……
These clips are taken from the 5,000 elite teams fighting in this qualifying tournament, ranging from one second to five seconds, each team has a camera, and most of the pictures are extremely tragic, which makes the atmosphere of the scene extremely dull for a while.
They completely took on the role of fighting the beast, and before they knew it, they watched it for two hours, and their hearts became more and more depressed.
The 5,000 teams waiting to teleport at the Knight's Castle also watched for two hours, but their mood was much better - standing here at this moment proves that all the previous efforts have been worth it!
Soon, the projected picture changed.
It's still the scene where each team fights the monsters, but unlike before, this time the battle is not so tragic.
The disadvantage of the team became smaller and smaller, and then it slowly turned into an advantage, and then the advantage became bigger and bigger, pressing the demon beast to fight......
The atmosphere in the stadium gradually became lively.
They saw that there were people who could fight two with one, someone with one against three, and even one against ten......
And in the end, they saw two men carrying thousands of flying swords and hundreds of golden dragons, each rushing into the beast tide to kill, and the long-held emotions in their hearts were suddenly completely detonated, and they couldn't help but roar loudly!
The audience is boiling!
The host picked up the microphone in a timely manner, and his powerful voice resounded through the broadcast.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what you just saw is what the Cavaliers experienced in this qualifying tournament."
"There is no doubt that this tournament is more difficult than ever. One hundred thousand fourth-order demon beasts, for half a month, just listening to it made people's hearts daunting—for third- and fourth-order cultivators, this was almost an impossible task. ”
"But our knights did. They traversed more than 2,000 kilometers, passed through thousands of dangerous places, and experienced countless battles large and small, and finally managed to reach the knight's city early this morning! ”
"In less than half a month, 100,000 demon beasts, this is a miracle in itself, and it is a special honor! So I think we should send them our warmest cheers and applause at this moment, because each of them deserves our respect, and each and every one of them is a true knight in our hearts!! ”
Uproar——!
At this moment, the applause was thunderous!
There was no need for someone to command, and all three million spectators stood up!
They did not hesitate to applaud themselves, filling the entire venue with screams and shouts.
This year's Knights Competition officially kicked off in such an unprecedented boiling scene.
The host said: "Now I invite the first team to play - they are the champions of this qualifying tournament, the Knights of Huali High School!" ”
After speaking, the white light flashed in the field, and fifteen men and women with super good looks appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Suddenly, the already enthusiastic scene heated up again!
"Oh! Su Mu! Sue Knight!! ”
"Ahhh Knight Su laughed so handsomely, my little heart couldn't stand it! ”
Ten seconds later, the host continued, "Next, we invite the second, third, and fourth teams in this qualifying tournament to play - they are Tsukinashi High School, Hulin High School, and the Girls' Knights St. Husseus's Academy!" ”
"Wow wow! Yun Shuai forced, three thousand!! ”
"Mu Dabai! We love you! ”
"Mingzang, play them quickly, we want to watch the show!"
"Coco is handsome, conquer the Su Knights, you can!"
Bah! Who is going to conquer that disciple!
Silver Coco was so annoyed that she couldn't do it.
She clearly feels that she has a lot fewer supporters than she did last year.
Now I can't hear anyone shouting her name unless I listen carefully.
And finally found a voice, and the result was for her to conquer Su Mu...
Is there such a thing to cheer for idols? Which side of the hell are you a fan?
Silver Coco is so angry, but she still has to keep a smile on her face...
Five seconds later, the moderator spoke again and called out the six teams that were ranked 5-10 in the qualifying round.
Then there are 11-50, 50-100, and the teams after 100 don't have time to enjoy the cheers of the crowd, they basically play one after another - this is the difference between the strong and the average.
There is nothing fair about the Knights Tournament other than the rules.
Whichever team is stronger, the team gets better treatment.
Thirty
All 5,000 teams were admitted.
The host said: "The first game of this tournament will officially start in an hour, and I will announce the relevant rules for you, please be quiet for a while, so that the knights can hear more clearly." ”
"First, the first competition is a singles competition, and each team can only play one person, so please choose carefully!"
"Second, this singles tournament is different from the past, 5,000 competitors will enter at the same time, and the venue will be several small different worlds. Each world has a one-way teleporter that can be teleported via a key card, and after a fixed number of teleportations, you will return to the scene for the final battle. ”
"Thirdly, the initial entry location is determined by lot, and each player will receive two key cards at the start of the match. Key cards can be traded and snatched, but they cannot be destroyed or hidden, and violators will be disqualified from the competition. ”
"Fourth, this single game is not allowed to carry space rings, and it is not allowed to carry any combat props other than weapons, if found, depending on the seriousness of the circumstances, all qualifications for the rest of the competition will be cancelled at most."
Please keep the above four points in mind, and you can play freely in addition. Next, please go to the sidelines of each team in turn to draw lots and get ready for battle as soon as possible! ”
