Chapter 555: Preliminaries
Wang Chong happily said to Shi Zhongjian: "You played very well. I hope you can keep up the good work. The sword in the stone thanked Wang Chong and returned to the stone camp with Tahai.
At the end of the rematch, fifty players remained. Some of the players selected by Wang Chong were eliminated. Among these fifty people, Wen Bozhang has taken a fancy to him for a long time. Wen Bozhang was really happy to see such an achievement.
The resumption is followed by the preliminaries. The preliminaries are grouped. These regulations were all formulated by Wang Chong. Wen Bozhang, who originally felt that the tournament was too long, now also sees the benefits of the tournament.
During the competition, in addition to more than 10,000 contestants, a large number of people also attracted a large number of people to watch the game. In particular, the income from the opening of the village and the sale of gambling has made the Chizhou Mansion have a large amount of income.
This method of using the competition to invigorate the economy has benefited Wen Bozhang the most. He both got talent and increased his income. Wen Bozhang couldn't wait to write the document and report the good news to Zhen Shiyan, the head of Nanjun County.
The semi-finals are divided into five groups. There are 10 players in each group. Thaihai and Shizhong Jian were divided into the first and third groups, respectively. The top two teams from each group advance to the top 10.
In this way of playing in groups, there are more matches. Everyone has nine games to play. Five groups of players will have more than 200 games.
After more than 20 days of competition, the top 10 were finally selected. Both Thaihai and Shi Zhongjian advanced to the top of the group.
The top 10 competition system adopts a single-elimination system. The winning group will advance directly. The losers will be played in a round-robin format, with one candidate selected to advance to the semi-finals.
The top 10 tournament is the main arena. The first match was Treading the Sea against the second player in the second group.
The opponent of Treading the Sea is an NPC. Thai, with his white leopard, walked into the ring from the right side. On the left side of the ring came a tall, thin middle-aged man.
This NPC is a big one. Tie this wide plate strap around your waist. Like Treadsea, he also carries a pet with him. It is a half-man tall mastiff.
Tahai looked at the Ao dog and whispered to the white leopard, "Buns." That guy is a lot bigger than you. Are you afraid? ”
Baozi snorted disdainfully: "What's the use of being big?"
Tahai said solemnly: "Don't be careless. Mastiff kills leopard, you don't have to be his opponent. ”
Baozi said unconvinced: "You watch." I'm going to let it run away with its tail between its legs. ”
Baozi was very annoyed by the treading of the sea. As soon as he saw the effect of stepping on the sea, he stopped talking.
At this time, NPC clenched his fists and said to Tahai: "Ask Your Excellency for advice in Xialuhu."
Treading the sea also learned from each other, hugged his fists and said: "Treading the sea under the sea, ask Your Excellency for advice."
The two reported their lives and each took two steps back. The main ring is much bigger than the others. It is more suitable for the players to play.
Step on the sea and shoot the buns. Bun Hui jumped into the middle of the ring. Lu Hu also sent mastiffs to confront Baozi.
The mastiff stands next to the bun and is obviously a few laps larger than the bun. The bun looks quite thin in front of it.
The mastiff sniffed the bun with his nose. The grin reveals long canine teeth. A string of mucus flowed from the mastiff's mouth.
The bun arched himself. With all the strength of his body, he is ready to pounce on his opponent at any time.
After a moment of stalemate, Lu Hu gave a whistle. The mastiff roared in a low voice, stretched out its huge paws, and struck at the bun.
Baozi has been watching each other's movements. When it saw the other party's move, it immediately flashed to the side. Then a fish leaped and jumped onto the mastiff's back.
Ao Inu immediately turned around and wanted to shake off the bun. The bun bites the mastiff's long dog hair. The mastiff kept swinging, and the bun was stubbornly on the back of the dog. The two beasts began to fight.
Baozi is a juvenile leopard. His body has not yet grown. Although he has intelligence, he can't take this Ao dog for a while.
Mastiffs have rough skin and thick meat, and buns can't hurt it. The bun is light and agile, and the mastiff can't get rid of him. The two beasts circled around in the ring.
Seeing this, Thaihai no longer worries about buns. Because he has already seen that this mastiff is just a low-level pet, and his IQ is very limited. As long as the bun gets a chance, he will definitely win.
At this time, Lu Hu also saw the clue. Instead of rescuing the mastiff, he said to Thai, "Shall we both stretch out our hands?" Otherwise, when will the winner be decided? ”
Tahai summoned a scimitar and put it on his chest, and said calmly: "Come on!"
Lu Hu saw the scimitar stepping on the sea, and his face changed slightly. He asked in a low voice, "Is this knife of yours a full moon knife?"
Tahai was stunned and said, "How do you know?"
Lu Hu asked again, "Where did you get this knife from?"
Tahai said: "This was given to me by a friend when I was in Mingyue Peak."
Lu Hu nodded and said, "So, do you know my senior brother Pengsong?" I haven't seen him in a long time. ”
Tahai sighed, "Mr. Pengsong has passed away. He was poisoned by the people of the Tenka Pavilion. ”
When Lu Hu heard the news, a painful expression appeared on his face. With a wave of his hand, a scimitar also appeared in his hand.
Lu Hu stared at the scimitar in his hand and muttered, "Senior brother." You still haven't escaped their pursuit. ”
Lu Hu stared at the scimitar in his hand for a long time. After that, throw the scimitar towards the treading sea. Treading the sea also throws the scimitar into the air. Two scimitars hooked together in the air.
Tahaiben accidentally Lu Hu shot at him. But the two scimitars swirled and wound as if they were attracted to each other. I heard Lu Hu say: "These two full moon knives were originally a pair. At that time, my master gave it to our brothers. The master once said that one day the two knives will merge to really exert its power. I'll give you this knife. I hope you can use the Full Moon Sword to avenge my brother. ”
After Lu Hu said these words, he turned around and walked off the stage. I don't know why I stepped on the sea for a while.
At this time, the full moon knives in mid-air had been combined, and the scimitars that were originally like crescents formed a circle. This is the real Full Moon Knife.
As soon as the thought of stepping into the sea moved, the full moon knife flew back in front of him. Tahai took the full moon knife and watched carefully.
As soon as Lu Hu left, the mastiff lost its ferocity. Stand there dumbfounded, letting the bun bite.
Thai, hurriedly retrieved the buns. The mastiff chased after Lu Hu with his tail between his legs.
This one, stepping on the sea wins. But he didn't have a glimmer of joy. Walking off the ring, Shi Zhongjian congratulated him. Treading the sea has been listless. He didn't feel like he was victorious.
Tahai, with his head down, walked out of the arena. Shi Zhongjian followed behind him.
They're not out of the ring yet. Wang Chong stood in front of the sea. Stop at the sea. Wang Chong said to him, "Why didn't you take the prize and leave?"
Thaihai shook his head. He said in a deep voice, "I didn't win, so I don't deserve to receive the award." Wang Chong saw that he was sullen and asked what was going on?
Tahai told Wang Chong about Lu Hu's gift of a knife. After that, he said wistfully, "Mr. Pengsong gave me the full moon knife. He also taught me the skills of the Full Moon Knife. It can be said that I am my master. But he was killed by the Tianxiang Pavilion. But I don't want to avenge him. Or Lu Hu is affectionate and righteous. He gave me his Full Moon Knife and let me synthesize a real Full Moon Knife. He wanted me to avenge Mr. Punsong. ”
