Chapter 5 Preliminaries

Three days later, the preliminaries of the mixed martial arts tournament officially began.

For the three of them, three days is really not a long time, but fortunately, Evan and Kalenz know each other well, so they can barely reach a tacit understanding with Shamilles in a short period of time. However, this tacit understanding is still far from their ideal requirements, so in order to better cooperate with each other, they even reached a uniform in clothing, in order to gradually increase the tacit understanding through the competition.

One by one, one by one

In the early morning, the quiet night is gradually washed away by the glow, and the morning sun paints a glowing red halo on the top of the clouds. Beams of straight light pierced through the cracks in the clouds to all corners of the city, illuminating the floating islands of different shapes.

Overnight, the entire city was stretched along the road in a dense barrier, like a huge and delicate spider web, covering one-third of the city's space into a quarantine zone. Ordinary residents are not allowed to step inside the barrier, while martial artists are allowed to move freely in the zone, but they are not allowed to enter and leave the residents' living spaces at will.

As soon as you step into the quarantine, the Fighter Identifier will automatically load into the Fighting Tournament client, which will allow you to find randomly assigned opponents and earn points for defeating them. Win or lose, accumulate 100 points to stand out from the preliminary round and qualify for the official competition.

As time passed, just before six o'clock in the morning, clocks appeared on all the large and small buildings in the Steel City, and countless seconds hands slowly but unanimously walked towards the hour.

Tick Tick ——!

The moment all the seconds hand points to the hour, brilliant virtual fireworks pour out from all over the city, and dynamic neon lights like the gorgeous sleeves of the goddess meandered over the city. The sea of clouds over the entire city reflected all kinds of overflowing brilliance, like a sea of fire burning on all sides. This is followed by an impassioned opening piece, in which orchestral instruments mingle with swift percussion instruments to weave smooth and loud notes that soar into the sky along with the fireworks.

After the opening music, the clocks on the city's large and small buildings disappear at the same time, showing a gorgeous stage against the brilliant starry sky. A man and a woman, two emcees dressed in martial arts attire, waved to the screen with flowers in their hands, walked forward with a smile, and sang and read out the opening remarks to the audience:

"Welcome to the live broadcast of the first Federal Mixed Martial Arts Championship! This time, all the martial artists in the entire Federation gathered here, and after a lot of competition, only the last martial artist can be awarded the title of King of Fighters by the Martial Arts Association. ”

"The hot-blooded audition preliminaries are about to begin, pay attention to the program dynamics and participate in the interaction, and immediately get a 1,000 yuan coupon from the interstellar hypermarket! Fighters who pass the preliminaries can receive a 100,000 yuan fighting dream fund provided by FedEx if they get more than 100,000 popularity votes! Thanks to the Battier Foundation for the apartment sponsorship for the mixed martial arts competition. Beautiful Good Mood Jewelry, Beautiful Good Mood Fighting, welcome to watch the beautiful Good Mood Jewelry titled and broadcast for you by the leading jewelry brand Beauty Good Mood, wear Good Mood Jewelry to add a good mood and cheer for the Federal Fighting Tournament!"

The female emcee first made a passionate statement, and the male emcee then read out a large paragraph of advertising words, which was also due to his deep line skills, and he yelled out this stinky and long advertising slogan out of the feeling of blood and blood.

One by one, one by one

Although they put on a hard show, there are still many people who don't buy it, such as Kalenz, who takes mixed martial arts tournaments very seriously.

"What kind of broken opening sentence is this! How can you read an advertisement at the beginning! The atmosphere was ruined by this bastard before it could be brewed. It's just a stinky, long fart!Let go of me!Let me go!I'm going to kill these two mentally retarded emcees!" Karenz was furious, and Evan and Shamilles pulled left and right, almost breaking free of the man who was on the verge of losing control.

"Calm down, the emcee is also taking money to do things, and it is not in them who misses it, but in the insatiable organizer!" Charmilles put his arm around him, his expression was nervous and serious, for fear that he would break free if he was not careful.

"The organizers are also taking money to do things! Without these sponsors, there would be no MMA tournament now. Don't be impulsive, it's hard to get a fight tournament back, don't ask for that much!" Ivan grabbed the man's other arm and forcibly pressed him to the floor, explaining at a rapid pace.

The persuasion of the two of them finally reluctantly calmed Kalenz and made him dispel the urge to rush over and beat the master of ceremonies. It's just that there is more than one Karenz who is disgusted by the advertisement - after the fighter from the alien planet understands the advertisement through the client translation, some look confused, some are indifferent, and some are also furious.

"Shut up, who is talking so much nonsense to!"

"Roll on, Lao Tzu's planet is full of gems!

"Go to your mother's interstellar hypermarket, go to your mother's fighting dreamland silence, go to your mother's cash coupon!"

Before the opening remarks of the male and female emcees were finished, they were forcibly yelled at by the irascible old buddies in the martial artists, and they could only stop reading the confessions in embarrassment, and adjust all the shots to the rings all over the city.

And so far, the MMA tournament has officially begun!

One by one, one by one

The preliminaries are a points competition, and there is no need for the three of them to set off together, so they will disperse and look for their opponents according to the randomly assigned ring by the client.

"Ring 73?"

When Evan saw the number of the ring, he immediately took a step and followed the client's navigation map to rush to the fighting ring three hundred meters away. By the time he got there, the fighters who had been randomly matched through the client were already standing in the ring, and the crowd of onlookers was also crowded outside the cordon.

The martial artist was a classical warrior with bronze armor and long hair and beard, about two meters in size, with bizarre tattoos on his skin, and a stout almost brown bear.

"I'm Diciodo!"

"I'm Ivan. Seeing that he was very polite, Evan raised his fists and bowed slightly.

"Let's talk with our swords!, Lord Evan, please don't resent me, every warrior should taste the bitterness of defeat, and it will be good for you. He spoke as if victory was in sight.

As soon as Diciodore's words fell, his body hid behind the sword shield, and a dazzling light erupted from his body at the same time. Under the light of the morning sun, this kind of fantastical, smoky light makes people feel extraordinarily magnificent.

This light was grayish-brown, with a solemnity similar to that of a mountain stone, and instantly spread to his bronze dagger and shield, coating the sword and shield with a textured light film.

Boom ——!

The moment the light bloomed to the apex, Disiodo stomped on the ground without hesitation, and a large cloud of backlash rubber fragments instantly exploded where he stepped on the ground, and the rubber floor of one square meter was completely shattered by him. With the help of this explosive force, he protected the shield in front of him, and rushed towards Ivan like a runaway locomotive, pulling out a gray-brown light and shadow with a fast speed!

"Sir Evan, you have lost!"

Seeing that the shield with gray light was about to crash into his opponent, Diodo roared like a beast!

Evan did not hesitate to sink and lower his waist, and when the opponent's figure was more than three inches away from him, his right foot suddenly stepped back, his toes grasped the ground, his back sank, and the skin surface of his right arm was swollen like a snake.

Boom ——!

Diodo's roar was immediately drowned out by a louder sound, shattered in the massive sound wave. His pupils contracted instantly, and a golden beam of light was reflected in his eyes! The dazzling bright light was like a wave of fire bursting on the surface of the sun, like a heavenly punishment falling from above the clouds!

Evan was like holding a small sun in his hand, and that sun suddenly flew out, with invincible power. In an instant, Disiodo only had time to adjust the angle of the shield to meet the golden beam, and frantically condensed the light on the shield.

Buzz——!

A huge trill!

The iron fist slammed into the shield with golden flames, and Diodo's tall body shook violently, flying back at a faster speed than the previous charge. But at this critical moment, he showed the qualities of a veteran warrior - he instantly stabbed a sword from behind his shield, blocking Ivan from taking advantage of the momentum to pursue.

“......”

After quickly stabilizing his body, Disiodo turned his gaze and glanced at a deep sword mark on the shield, and between the constriction of his pupils, he already felt contempt in his heart.

"This time it's my attack turn!"

As soon as he spoke, Evan's figure turned into a golden afterimage, and along a straight trajectory, it blasted towards Disciodore directly opposite.

Diodo's expression sank, and then he swung his shield towards the ground of the ring, and a grayish-brown light sank from the bronze shield to the ground. Then even the surrounding spectators felt a tremor under their feet, and the ground shook violently, as if there had been an earthquake.

The intensity of the tremors decreased outward in a circle, and the crowd of onlookers outside the stadium only felt a slight sense of vibration, and the intensity of the shock wave almost caught up with the rolling waves under the feet of Evan, who was the main target. The rubber floor is uplifted with layers of folds turned outward, as if the waves are stirring in circles, as if it is the turbulent water surface.

Whoosh——!

The golden flames parted directly into the waves, like a straight blade cutting through the ring, extending all the way to the front of Diciodore.

"It doesn't work?"

Disciodore's eyes widened suddenly, and at the same time he released the shield in his hand, and after taking half a step backwards like lightning, he slammed his waist and twisted his hips at the same time as he swung a sword and slashed at the rapidly approaching Ivan.

Boom ——!

A punch filled with light energy slammed into the shield, sending it flying upside down, instantly accelerating to more than the speed of sound, breaking through the circle and spreading the wave of qi with the bronze dagger and smashing it into Diodo's chest.

Bang——!

This heavily armed classical warrior was hit by his own shield, and the whole person instantly flew upside down and dragged out a vague afterimage, breaking the protective railings of the upper and lower layers of the ring, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Congratulations to the Flame of Destiny player, who defeated the opponent Heavy Infantry Centurion and earned a few points for promotion. At the moment when the opponent's body flew out of the ring, Evan also received a prompt from the client.

"This guy is not losing in technique, but in physical function. He has been able to fully use his fighting energy and harness the destructive power of his amplified energy. If you cultivate the Sun Golden Sutra or fuse the Divine Source Metal, you can compete with Minister Karenz. Pity...... The civilization born in the classical period was indeed buried. ”

Evan silently shouted for him, then jumped out of the ring and ran towards the second ring shown by the client.

The preliminaries are only three days, and the points must be accumulated to 100 points, which means that a martial artist has to defeat more than 30 opponents a day on average before entering the official competition. Fighting at least 30 wheel fights a day is a torment for any martial artist, and the person who can accumulate 100 points in the end must be the elite of the elite.

One-one-one-one-one-one

In the amazed crowd of onlookers, the clown and the blonde youth watched Evan's figure go away, looked at each other, and then followed him not far away.

"Have you seen all of his strength?" asked the blonde young man, who was so handsome that he was almost bewitching, whispered.

"It was a crushing fight, and I didn't see anything useful at all. The clown replied lukewarmly.

"Then as long as we blend in with the audience and silently continue to follow and observe. Thirty points a day, even if he can win every game, he has to play a hundred games! Even if his body has the ability to regenerate at high speed, the mental consumption is inevitable, and after three days, he will inevitably feel exhausted...... Maybe we'll be able to get the job done at the end of the qualifiers. The blonde youth said with a smile.

"Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome, as long as Nabei makes a move, that guy will definitely die!" The clown glanced sideways at him, and said nonchalantly, "I followed him like this, just so that I could kill him again and escape." ”

"What a confidence that echoes your identity as an ace killer...... Just ......"

The blonde young man deliberately paused when he said this, and then looked back at his female partner who was wearing a tracksuit and followed behind him timidly: "Your partner doesn't seem to be ready." ”

"She's not my partner, she's Tachibana now, just a little girl with no fighting power. The clown didn't look back, and calmly replied, "Nabe is my partner." ”
