Two days later, the new talent will compete in the main arena. Net.
Consistent with Ning Yue's guess, this time the arena was established outside Xingsen City, in the Xinghai Forest, where the town was named after the source. What he expected was that the size and floor space of the main arena were completely unimaginable.
Big, amazingly big. Roughly estimated, I'm afraid that the entire arena will even exceed the total area of the Imperial Academy. He couldn't imagine the need for such a big arena. It is difficult that every spectator who enters the arena has such good eyes, and they can see the situation in the middle of the arena from afar.
But soon, he realized that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.
The arena is huge, and that's because there are actually twelve different playing areas inside. Oddly enough, it doesn't seem to have been built to play multiple games at the same time. Because, the floor area of each area has deviations.
"Can you ask, in the past, there are so many different divisions of the arena?"
Putting down the map in his hand, Ning Yue turned his head to look at the rest of his companions, but he was surprised, everyone was surprised by what they saw, and they were the same as him.
Especially Twilight Yinyin, her hands clenched the map and trembled, muttering softly, "Impossible, did he really do that?" Such a big project was completed in just a few years? ”
"What do you know?"
Soon, everyone's eyes in the team were focused on Du Yinyin, and at the same time, Ning Yue subconsciously asked.
Who knows, but Twilight Yinyin shook her head and replied, "I really don't know anything." It's just that a possibility comes to mind. ”
"What is possible?"
"The various formats of the selection competition in Imperial College are actually simulating the diverse competition methods of the new competition. Moreover, in the previous cutting-edge competitions, it is not simply an empty stone platform area as a boundary division. Instead, various elemental variations are added, such as low mountains, lakes, jungles, or ruins and stone pillars. Of course, it's just a small man-made scale, and it's not the same as the real thing. According to the concept of the Snow Dragon Empire's original new competition, truly outstanding new warriors should know how to use all the surrounding environment to maximize their strength, rather than a duel that can only be formal. ”
For Du Yinyin's words, Ning Yue and Xiao Ao's hearts trembled again, compared to their surprise, the rest of the teammates looked calm. For those with different backgrounds, it is reasonable to learn more about some cutting-edge competitions.
His face trembled slightly, and Ning Yue guessed: "Mo Fei, you mean that after the expansion of the arena this time, and it was built in the Xinghai Forest, a larger area was used to divide various competition areas...... In order to no longer use the artificial miniature environment, but directly use the real natural environment, and use it as a new arena? ”
Twilight Yin nodded in response, "Besides, can there be any other more reasonable guesses?" ”
At the same time, Fang Huanlan muttered in a deep voice: "If that's the case, then the situation in each battle will be more complicated. If we want to win, we have to plan a variety of contingencies in advance. Well, then again, it's the same for every team. There is one more factor in the decisive situation, which side can take advantage of the unexpected terrain environment first in the limited time. ”
"Interesting. Compared with a simple and boring few vs. a few duels, such a battle is much more interesting. Xiao Ao suddenly smiled a little meaningfully, and the corners of his mouth were faintly a hint of hideousness.
For him, that kind of battle might be more able to exert all his strength. When he was working hard under Sima Tiansong, he had experienced all kinds of harsh environments and terrains.
"Hey, that team over there, what are you still grinding about, you're in!"
Not far away, around the corner, a man dressed in a hunting service beckoned. From a slight distance, Ning Yue could also see the badge pattern on the other party's chest.
Captain level. In other words, the strength is at least seven levels of the Spirit Awakening Realm.
Probably considering that there are too many young and vigorous people in the participating teams, they may not necessarily listen to the persuasion of ordinary staff. As a result, the Snow Dragon Empire sent the elite of the Rapid Hunt to take charge.
Of course, Ning Yue and the others didn't dare to despise each other's greetings, so they hurriedly agreed, and several people exchanged glances with each other and hurried away.
According to what was learned in advance, each participating team should make a collective appearance at the main venue to listen to the opening announcement of this cutting-edge competition. And when entering the field, each team takes a different path. From this, it can also be vaguely inferred how big the main venue is now.
At the end of the passage, a clear picture came into view, accompanied by a warm call, which was the shouting of tens of thousands of spectators, waiting for each team to appear.
His eyes quickly adapted to the change of light, and Ning Yue glanced at everything that appeared in front of him, and the heart in his chest suddenly beat violently. Such a scene, he experienced for the first time, was spectacular never imagined.
The huge circular building rises from the ground, and the dome above is designed to open and close, and is now in spread mode, and the blue sky and white clouds can be seen from above.
Exiting the passage is a free-standing platform that rises several metres above the ground in the stadium and below the surrounding spectator seats. When I turned around, I suddenly had the feeling that tens of thousands of eyes were looking down and focusing on me. Eagerness and nervousness quietly breed in my heart.
The two sides spread out and reunited in a ring, and there were similar platforms here and there, and on each of them stood seven people, seven young people. No need to guess, it must be the rest of the participating teams. At this moment, most of them had arrived, and they were looking around like them.
Suddenly, Ning Yue felt that someone was tugging at his clothes, and turned around, but saw Chang Xuanxuan stretching out his hand and signaling him to look behind him.
Suddenly turning around to look, what Ning Yue saw was another high platform standing on top of the passage here, his eyes continued to rise, and soon, his pupils contracted violently, and he instantly understood what Chang Xuanxuan wanted him to see.
On the high platform behind the tower, two teams of brightly armored guards stood on either side, their armor and blades different from each other's systems and colors.
A group of guards on the left is dressed in blue-edged silver armor and wields halberds. The guards on the right are in red robes and red armor, with sharp swords hanging from their waists and big bows on their backs, all standing with guns. And at the very front of the two teams of guards, one step higher, were their commanders.
Leading the silver-armored guards was a middle-aged man, holding a pair of bright golden steel whips, standing there majestic, not angry. Beside him, another general was the same as his subordinates, in red robes and red armor, but with an extra scarlet cloak. In addition, he wears a mask in his helmet that hides his appearance.
As if sensing Ning Yue's gaze, the man turned his head slightly to look down and glanced at him from a distance.
In an instant, Ning Yue recognized who the other party was. In fact, there is no need to look at each other at all, this dress appears in front of a position that should symbolize the highest authority, and there is naturally only one person.
Marshal of the Imperial West.
Behind the two generals, a throne symbolizing the supreme power of the empire stood silently, but at the moment there was no one on it. On either side of that throne, there were other seats, less than ten, and there were few seats at this time. Presumably, those who are qualified to sit there are absolutely ordinary people.
Xia Yi glanced at the sides again, and soon, Ning Yue smiled knowingly.
Underneath the high platform, which was obviously prepared for Emperor Sima Haiwei, was a platform erected by the five participating teams. This number is exactly the number of teams that have played against the Imperial Academy.
It is undoubtedly to tell all the teams that came to participate in the competition, as well as the spectators present. These five teams are directly subordinate to the Snow Dragon Empire. At the same time, I am afraid that I am also secretly telling them that the current self represents the face of the empire, and the new big competition must do its best.
Sighing slightly, Ning Yue smiled: "Fortunately, this should not be an official arena, otherwise the future game will also be under their eyes, as the Imperial Academy, we will be under too much pressure, right?" ”
"But, they're definitely watching, too, just not right behind us like they are today."
Chang Xuanxuan shrugged and smiled, and suddenly, his face changed slightly.
It wasn't him alone, but everyone in the audience who had changed their expressions. For a while, the original hustle and bustle faded away and turned into silence.
On the high platform that symbolizes imperial power, there is an extra figure, a man who is in charge of the entire empire.
At this time, Ning Yue took the time to look around again, and there were already people standing on every platform prepared for the participating teams to appear.
"Here we go."
Secretly sighed in his heart, he was a little nervous, but more excited.
At this time, it has finally come.
Sima Haiwei's outfit today is not a gorgeous emperor's costume, but a military uniform, a golden robe and black armor, and a dress of a marshal of the army. But his appearance is incomparably consistent with his own breath. Moreover, in the Snow Dragon Empire, women and children all know that the current lord of the empire is not a descendant, but has ascended to that position step by step by relying on his military exploits.
"It's another three years, and the opening of a new cutting-edge competition is imminent. Life will be made up of many three years. It's just that when we look back, we may not be able to see what the biggest change has been in the past three years. Or, no new metamorphosis has been made at all. ”
His voice was a little low, not heavy, but faintly, the sense of power brought by him should not be underestimated.
"The emergence of the new Dabi, the arena for young people, is to test the new generation that is growing up in the entire empire, and how much they have grown in the past few or three years compared to their former self. Today, every contestant who can stand here, you are excellent. Because being qualified to stand here is a kind of capital that you can be proud of. But you must also understand that that capital is only for your peers in your previous range, where you will meet more powerful opponents. In order to prove that you have no regrets about the lost time, stretch your wings in the next events! ”
In an instant, the two teams of guards in front of Sima Haiwei shook their hands together, and the crisp sound of metal impact resounded throughout the audience.
At the same time, he flicked his cloak behind him, and finally sat down on his throne, and after blinking his eyes, he raised his voice and shouted.
"I, Sima Haiwei, in the name of the current emperor of the Snow Dragon Empire, ordered, this year's cutting-edge competition will be opened!"
Suddenly, the silence of the audience was broken, and the call that pierced the sky was wanton.
The next moment, the relatively calm participating teams could no longer hold on, because there was a link they had never thought of.
"In order to test whether the young people cultivated by the Imperial Academy are worthy of the honor they carry, the first round and the first battle of the new talent competition will be drawn by me personally. On one side, the Imperial College teams are selected, and on the other side, all the other participating teams are selected. ”
Sima Haiwei smiled mysteriously, and when he beckoned, there were already guards on both sides who had each touched a tray, and inside the tray were all metal nameplates with the back facing up.
Everyone's eyes are focused on this, and at this moment, whether it is the audience or the participating teams, they are eager to know which two teams will be selected.
Ten fingers of both hands stroked the nameplates on the two trays together, Sima Haiwei suddenly twitched his arms, and a metal nameplate was grabbed by him in his palm.
Then, both cards are turned over at the same time.
At that moment, Ning Yue had an illusion, Sima Haiwei seemed to glance at him, with a strong playfulness in his eyes.
