Chapter 404: Qualifiers
One night is indescribable, it is indescribable.
……
The next morning, the sun was shining and the wind was beautiful.
Lin Yun was radiant, refreshed, and energetic.
Early in the morning, Lin Yun and his entourage of four followed Ren Tanqian to Wu'anmen Square.

Today's Wu'anmen Square is still crowded with people. All the high-ranking officials and nobles who were present yesterday are also present today.
The Chief Sect Master of the Tianxuan Sect, the four major sect masters, as well as all the elders, deacons, and disciples all gathered together.
Outside Wu'anmen Square, there were piles of onlookers, several times more than yesterday's opening.
Because when it opened yesterday, the contestants were all in the qualifiers in the Forest of Death, so there was nothing to see at all.
Today, we will play the qualifiers and semi-finals. The whole process of these two games was held in Wu'anmen, and all the people watching outside Wu'anmen could witness it with their own eyes.
The qualifiers are actually a big wave of screening, eliminating those who are not strong enough to leave only the top talents.
Therefore, the next promotion matches and semi-finals are all peak duels between the young talents of the Southern Xia Kingdom.
Naturally, no one wants to miss this kind of prosperity, so most of the people in the city gathered.
The number of people in the entire Wu'anmen Square is at least hundreds of thousands!
After the selection of the qualifiers, there are still 20 groups left, with a total of 80 people.
And among these eighty people, nearly forty of them are all inner disciples of the three major families of the kingdom. And almost all of their cultivation has reached the level of ninth-level warriors.
This also means that the disciples of the Martial Arts Mansion of the Eight Great Prefectures have almost no chance of making it to the top forty.
When the morning sun hung high in the sky, the invigilator walked to the Wu'an Gate, stood on the high Wu'an Gate, and announced the process and rules of the promotion competition in public.
"The qualifiers are one-on-one duels and are divided into forty duels. Forty of them will be eliminated and the other 40 will advance to the semi-finals. ”
"In the course of the duel, any weapon can be used. If one of the players is unable to continue the fight, or voluntarily concedes defeat, it is over. ”
The process and rules are very simple, and the invigilator will explain it clearly in a few words. And then the draw is held.
For the sake of fairness of the competition, all contestants' opponents are randomly assigned by lottery by invigilators.
However, for the sake of the enjoyment of the game, the core disciples of the three major families of the kingdom will be disassembled as seeded players, and they will not be allowed to face each other before the semi-finals.
As for the other contestants, whether the opponent is strong or weak, everything is left to fate.
The whole lottery process lasted almost a quarter of an hour.
After the draw is over, the qualifiers officially begin.
The invigilator stood on Wu'anmen with a scroll in his hand and announced in public the list of duels decided by lot.
The roster of matchups generated by random draw can be seen in any lineup. There may be a lineup with a huge disparity in strength, or there may be a lineup with equal strength.
There were a few battles between the geniuses of Wang Cheng and the disciples of the state and county martial arts. As a result, without exception, all the disciples of the state and county martial arts were eliminated miserably.
There were also a few duels between the geniuses of Wangcheng, and they were all inseparable, and in the end, both of them lost.
Those who advance are complacent, and those who are eliminated are depressed.
As for the contestants who have not yet played, they are nervous and anxious waiting, praying in their hearts that the opponents they meet are not too strong.
In the ninth game, it was finally Yuan Xiaofeng's turn to play.
Yuan Xiaofeng's luck was very bad, and the opponent he encountered was Nangong Jianren, the inner disciple of the Nangong family.
Nangong Jianren's realm is a ninth-level warrior, unlike Shangguan Ruiqian, who was abolished by Lin Yun, his realm does not rely on the accumulation of pills, but on his own cultivation, he is a true genius.
Yuan Xiaofeng, who was in the late stage of the sixth-level warrior, was like touching a stone with an egg against Shangnangong Jianren, and he didn't have to fight at all.
Before the game between the two began, the public opinion of the onlookers at the scene had already made Yuan Xiaofeng defeat miserably.
Yuan Xiaofeng in the crowd clenched his fists, sighed helplessly, and then raised his hand and said to the invigilator: "I abstain." ”
Yuan Xiaofeng knew that with his realm and strength, he couldn't even pass the qualifiers.
He was already very satisfied with the blessing of being able to pass the qualifiers, and he didn't have the luxury of passing the qualifiers again, so when he encountered such a strong opponent, he directly chose to abstain.
Seeing Yuan Xiaofeng's direct abstention, everyone present was sneering.
"I actually abstained directly, this guy is really unplanted!"
"What state and county is this waste from? It was only in the late stage of the sixth-level samurai, no wonder he directly abstained without even fighting. ”
"It's from Yuzhou County, right? Tsk, Yuzhou County is really declining, and one session is not as good as one. ”
From the promotion round to now, it is the first time that there have been contestants who have abstained, so everyone despises Yuan Xiaofeng very much.
Hearing everyone's cynicism, Yuan Xiaofeng lowered his head in shame. He originally thought that participating in the Wangcheng Martial Arts Conference would be an incomparably glorious deed.
But he didn't expect that he would lose face when he came here, and while he was embarrassed, he also lost the face of Yuzhou County, and even affected Tan Qian, the director of the government.
Because Ren Tanqian, who was standing not far away, was also looked at with disdain by many mansion owners, and suddenly felt embarrassed.
With the start of the next duel, everyone's ridicule of Yuan Xiaofeng and Yuzhou County gradually stopped.
After several more duels, it was finally Hu Jin's turn to play.
Hu Jin's luck was slightly better than Yuan Xiaofeng's, he didn't meet the inner disciples of the three major families of the kingdom, only the geniuses of the other families in Wangcheng.
This genius's name is Su Shi, and his realm is an eighth-level warrior, although his strength is not as good as Nangong Jianren, but it is far from being something that Hu Jin can deal with.
Because Yuan Xiaofeng abstained before, he was collectively ridiculed by everyone, so Hu Jin didn't dare to abstain anymore, so he had to bite the bullet.
After he came to power, he was still ridiculed by everyone.
"Why is there another waste of the late stage of a sixth-level samurai? How exactly does this waste pass the qualifiers? ”
"In the later stage of a sixth-level samurai, he dared to come on stage to fight against others, I really don't know who gave him the courage."
"This waste is the same group as the cowards who abstained just now, they are all disciples of the Wufu of Yuzhou County."
"Tsk, sad Yuzhou County, exhaust some waste garbage, it is simply a waste town!"
Hearing everyone's ridicule, Hu Jin also lowered his head in shame, his fists couldn't help clenching, thinking that he would do his best to perform well in the battle, and he would definitely not lose the face of Yuzhou County again.
