Chapter 51: The Challenge
"There are 200 rings here, and each ring has 10 places to make it to the finals. However, this kind of competition is not a round-robin competition, but a challenge competition. Anyone who wins 10 consecutive matches in the ring will earn a spot, and until all 10 spots are attributed, the Ring Challenge will be over. The middle-aged man patiently explained.
Chu Yun immediately frowned and said, "This is not fair, right? Isn't it easy to cheat? ”
"The boy reacted pretty quickly." The middle-aged man sneered, "But do you think people from all sects are stupid?" Will such a loophole be left? ”
Although the middle-aged man did not explain in detail, from the middle-aged man's confident smile, he could see that this was probably not as simple as he imagined.
Then the middle-aged man left, and Chu Yun took a closer look at the group of people in front of him.
This place is located at the back of a ring, almost tens of thousands of square meters, and there are only about a thousand people inside, but Chu Yun found that these people are all fourteen or fifteen years old.
Chu Yun suddenly understood a little, after all, this was a competition in the ring, and the disciples recruited by various sects were from ten to fifteen years old, if a ten-year-old boy was allowed to compete with a fifteen-year-old boy, it would be obviously unfair.
According to the arrangement of the organizers of this sect selection competition, they should have divided the ring into different age groups. At the same time, there is also a very important distinction in this, that is, whether or not to practice martial arts.
A person who has not yet practiced martial arts, no matter how good his qualifications are, cannot fight against low-qualified people who have practiced martial arts for several years.
Some people from very good families and even from prominent backgrounds have been practicing martial arts since they were young, such as young masters of families like Du Feicheng. Another example is that some teenagers who grew up in villages and towns have never even seen the secret books of basic martial arts, let alone practiced martial arts.
For those who have not yet practiced martial arts, the competition in the ring is about willpower and fighting talent.
To some extent, combat talent is as important as martial arts qualifications. Martial arts training qualification determines the height of a person's realm improvement and the proficiency of martial arts cultivation, while combat talent is manifested in the on-the-spot performance in battle, and the combat effectiveness that can actually be exerted.
After distinguishing between these, the ring competition is relatively fair.
Of course, there is no absolute fairness in the world, and people will not criticize the small flaws, after all, sometimes luck is a kind of strength.
……
On this day, almost the entire city of Gongzhou City became empty alleys, and most of the people gathered in this open space outside the city.
This is the grand event of Gongzhou City, and it is also the grand event of the entire Shudi martial arts.
The qualification screening lasted for most of the day, and the number of shortlisted teenagers was as high as 40,000.
This number is much less than the more than 200,000 people who have signed up.
All the teenagers who were brushed off were undoubtedly depressed, but this is no wonder to others, after all, the qualifications are naturally destined.
Chu Yun roughly observed that there were more than 300 people in his group, and it was difficult to select ten out of the 300 people, but it was not high, at least it was not high for Chu Yun.
At this moment, an old man over fifty years old came to the ring in front of them, his body was thin, his eyes were like vultures, and there was a trace of fear in his heart.
"Boys, congratulations on passing the qualification test, the old man is Guan Wanshan, the elder of the Iron Eagle Gate, and the one who is called the Iron Claw Condor by the people in the rivers and lakes is the old man. I am in charge of your thirteenth ring, and when you compete for a while, except for the prohibition of poison and automatic concealment, you can use all other means. Guan Wanshan said with a calm face, although his voice was not loud, but it accurately reached everyone's ears.
For Guan Wanshan's requirements, all the people thought deeply, the poison was very well understood, for these teenagers in front of them, any kind of poison could make them lose their combat effectiveness, if the use of poison was allowed, then the competition would be meaningless.
The same is true for automatic hidden weapons, the most powerful of which is the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle of the Tang Sect. Even if it is an ordinary person, holding the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle can also kill the master of the early stage of the Tongmai Realm, which shows the power of this kind of automatic hidden weapon.
The Tang Sect is originally a Shu family, if it weren't for the fact that the Tang Sect did not recruit disciples from the outside world, otherwise the people who wanted to join the Tang Sect would be like a carp crossing the river, no worse than Emei and Qingcheng.
A young man standing beside Chu Yun lightly bumped his arm and said, "I've heard of Guan Wanshan, he is a master, my father said that he should be an existence in the early stage of the Tongmai Realm." More powerful than our Du Daxia in Gongzhou City. ”
Chu Yun Zitan could hear this young man's worship of that Guan Wanshan, for most people, the Tongmai Realm was definitely a lifelong pursuit. But for Cheng Yang, his goal is undoubtedly much farther.
"Does your father know about Guan Wanshan? It seems that he is also a martial arts person. Chu Yun said softly.
The young man was suddenly a little proud, and said, "Of course, my father is a martial arts person, and he is the most powerful master in our Wanyuan Town. ”
As he spoke, the boy looked at the stands on the left, and it seemed that his master father was also watching the game.
Chu Yun's heart moved, this Wanyuan Town is the largest town in Gongzhou City, and it can be called the number one master of Wanyuan Town, at least it is also the existence of the middle stage of the Acupoint Realm. In Gongzhou City, it is indeed a master.
Chu Yun couldn't help but look at this kid and said, "Your qualifications are not bad, what you cultivate is basic internal strength?" ”
The reason why he said this was because he couldn't see the other party's cultivation level. If this young man didn't cultivate internal strength, he wouldn't believe it if he killed Chu Yun, and the only explanation was that he also cultivated basic internal strength.
The young man didn't continue to be proud, and said, "My qualifications are also average, only the best level, and because my cultivation is the basic internal strength, I have only reached the Qi Viewing Level until now." It's all my father's fault, if I had practiced the Dragon and Tiger Skill of the Dragon and Tiger Gate that my father had practiced, I would have already reached the peak of the Qi Gathering Realm. My father said that I had good qualifications and had the opportunity to join the Damen faction, so I was not allowed to learn Dragon and Tiger Gong. ”
Chu Yun understood this, for any sect, he hoped that the disciples he recruited would be innocent and innocent before they entered, and they would not have any involvement with other forces, especially the cultivation of internal strength.
And the Dragon and Tiger Gate that this young man said, Chu Yun had never heard of it in the world of "The Legend of Heroes" in the previous life, and it was estimated that it was only a small sect in Shudi. No wonder the boy's father asked for it.
While the two were talking, Guan Wanshan told the rules of the competition, and the competition in the ring officially began.
At that moment, a young man in brocade walked into the ring, holding a tiger head knife, and said loudly: "In Xia Zhao Mountain, the son of the head of the Qingyuan Dart Bureau, please give me advice!" ”
After all, these fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers have no reputation, if their father is very famous, he can use the name of Lao Tzu to suppress people.
Sure enough, this Zhao Shan's words were one, and many people below who were originally eager to try dispelled their thoughts, this Zhao Shan's father is a master in the middle of the acupuncture realm, under his strict teaching, even if this Zhao Shan's cultivation realm is not high, but the practice of martial arts moves is more than most of the people present.
"Brother, you have a lot of skills with this guy, aren't you going to try it?" Chu Yun picked up the young man beside him.
didn't expect the other party to be fooled at all, so he pouted and said: "There's no need, with this Zhao Shan's cultivation, it should be no problem to get a place in the finals, and I should be able to get a place myself." In this case, why should we fight high and low? ”
Chu Yun couldn't help but glance at the other party, although there are many people who can know the reason, but there are very few people who have this heart, after all, they are all young people, who doesn't want to be different.
"I'll meet you!" A gruff voice erupted, and then a man rushed onto the platform.
This man is a burly man, and if you only look at the head, he is almost the same as a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.
This burly young man is obviously an anxious man, and after he came to power, he didn't talk nonsense with Zhao Shan at all, and directly smashed his fist at the other party.
"You don't follow the rules!" Zhao Shan obviously didn't expect the other party to say that he would fight, and he was at a loss for a while.
However, Zhao Shan's background is much stronger than that of this burly boy, although he was flustered, he was not completely suppressed by the other party, and after more than ten rounds, he slowly let him recover the situation.
Zhao Shan should have used a set of intermediate sword techniques at the beginner level, and the burly young man used only a basic sword technique that integrated the level, and the gap between the two was huge.
"You go down for me!" Zhao Shan shouted violently and slashed at the burly young man's back.
The burly young man suddenly let out a miserable scream, and a huge force directly knocked him out of the ring.
Fortunately, the blades used in the ring were all unopened, otherwise this knife would have been enough to kill the burly boy for half his life.
The burly young man glared at Zhao Shan hatefully, but he was not too frustrated. Because everyone has two chances to come to power, and although he failed this time, he still has one more chance. This is also to ensure the fairness of the competition to the greatest extent.
The defeat of the burly boy still had a great impact on the crowd, and for a teenager like them in the early stage of martial arts, the strength of the body can also play a great role in the victory or defeat of the battle.
"Zhao Shansheng!" Guan Wanshan shouted in the referee's seat, "Zhao Shan can rest for a stick of incense, and those who are ready to challenge will sign up immediately, and draw lots to determine the second round of challengers."
Rest is a must, after all, even the number one master in this group may not be sure to hold out for ten games.
As for the draw to determine the challenger, it is just to avoid someone cheating. For example, a contestant, who buys off some people, flocks up to challenge, and then deliberately loses, this contestant can easily accumulate ten consecutive wins.
Although Guan Wanshan said it, there were not many people who signed up. Each contestant only has two chances to play, and no one wants to waste such an opportunity without a certain certainty.
