The quadrennial Tianlong Ranking Contest opened.

The qualifying round of the Tianlong List is divided into four stages: preliminaries, promotions, knockouts and finals.

There is only one day for each stage.

In the preliminaries, the top 50 of the Tianlong list were selected.

In the promotion round, the top 20 of the Tianlong List will be selected.

In the knockout round, the top five of the Tianlong list were selected and advanced to the finals.

The rules of the jousting tournament are strict.

All participants must follow the rules of the competition.

This is the top ring match that represents the real martial arts strength in China.

Therefore, it is kept secret.

There is no media involvement, and the general public knows nothing.

Only a few people from the martial arts world and several major families participated.

Those who are qualified to enter the venue to watch need to go through strict vetting, and most of them have identities.

No equipment is allowed, and foreigners are not allowed to enter.

The award is very generous, as long as you enter the top 50, there will be a prize of 500,000.

But when you come to this ring, people value more than just the rewards.

The improvement of the ranking represents the improvement of status, prestige and certification, and the benefits brought to them are far more than the rewards.

Those who practice martial arts want to participate, they need relevant supporting materials, confirm qualifications, and a certain registration fee.

Zhou Lu's certification materials, registration fees, etc., Xi Qi helped to get it out.

Because nominally, this is doing Xi Qi a favor.

Xi Qi happened to have important matters to deal with, so he couldn't accompany Zhou Lu to come.

Zhou Lu took the supporting materials, drove Xi Qi's golf car to the door of the designated gymnasium.

The vigilant gaze of the plainclothes on the periphery swept on Zhou Lu's body.

A man came up and inquired.

After reading the supporting documents of Zhou Lu next week, the plainclothes notified the opening of the gate and the release.

Zhou Lu stopped the car and walked to a side door according to the instructions, which was the entrance of the first-time participants.

The so-called first time is generally a rookie in martial arts, a truly famous martial arts master, and a green channel.

Outside the side door, there was a pockmarked old man with monkey cheeks in charge of the preliminary inspection.

Ma-faced was arguing with a simple and sturdy young man.

There was a long queue of people in the back, and Zhou Lu walked to the back of the line and lined up patiently.

"What the hell, there's no registration fee, why are you here with me? Go away, go away, less verbose. The numb face said angrily.

"Please be accommodating, I have the registration fee, yesterday I saw a girl kneeling on the ground begging for help, saying that her mother was seriously ill and needed money to save her life, I saw that they were pitiful, so I gave them the 5,000 yuan registration fee first." The simple young man smiled innocently.

The crowd burst into laughter.

They all looked at the young people with the eyes of fools.

"I think you're pitiful, this kind of deception ten years ago can deceive you."

"There's something wrong with this man's head."

Ma Yan sneered: "Lower Riba people, go back quickly." ”

The simple young man shook his head firmly: "No, I won't go back, I must participate in the qualifying competition, and I can't live up to my father's expectations of me." ”

"The rules can't be changed! There is no entry fee, and I cannot enter! Come back in four years. The hemp face said impatiently, "Next." ”

The simple young man was anxious with a red face and a thick neck, but he also knew that he was wrong, so he sighed and stopped talking, looking helpless and sad.

At this time.

There was a commotion, and an obese young man with four men did not line up, swaggering towards the numb face.

Zhou Lu frowned when he saw the obese young man.

Made, the road is narrow!

Here it happened again.

This obese young man was Ling Ershao who was slapped by himself on the plane.

Seeing Ling Ershao, Ma Yan suddenly changed his face.

He nodded and greeted with a smile: "It's Second Young Master Ling, you enter directly through the gate, how can you go here?" ”

"I'll introduce a few people to participate in today's competition, no problem." Ling Ershao put down the next sentence, and without waiting for Ma Mian to agree, he directly led someone in.

"No problem, no problem." The hemp face nodded straight.

The people in line were talking.

"Being so arrogant, not queuing, and not paying the registration fee, doesn't it mean that the rules can't be changed?"

"Shhh, he is the young master of the Ling family, he can't be compared."

"You mean the Ling family, one of the five major families in the capital?"

"Of course."

", no wonder, there's no way, who calls people a privileged class."

"Yes, you and I are still obediently lining up, hoping to get into the promotion round this year and enter the top fifty, and the Ling family may give a good errand."

Seeing this, Zhou Lu didn't want to queue up obediently.

He walked out of the end of the line and swaggered towards the pockmarked face.

When passing by the simple youth, I deliberately touched him.

Walking up to Ma Mian, the big thorn pointed to the front: "I was introduced by Ling Ershao." ”

Without waiting for the hemp face to react, Zhou Lu walked in quickly.

Ma Yan touched his head, and he was confused for a while, and when he saw Zhou Lu following Xiang Ling Ershao, he didn't confirm it for a while.

The simple young man entered the pocket and felt something strange.

He reached into his pocket and took out a brown paper envelope, which contained a wad of money and counted it, enough for the registration fee.

His face was gloomy and overjoyed.

He is honest, but not stupid, looking at Zhou Lu's back, he firmly remembers it in his heart.

Zhou Lu walked into the passage of the indoor gymnasium and sighed with emotion.

Ling Ershao is an incompetent fool who doesn't need any effort, but he holds power and enjoys all the glory and privileges.

And the young man who has worked hard for many years to train and be simple was turned away because of a little registration fee.

But the giant wheel of time will always crush unexpected historical trajectories.

Nothing lasts forever.

After the aura awakens, the world is silently brewing, brewing an unprecedented change that will change everything.

Zhou Lu's thoughts were flying, and he walked through the long passage, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

In the middle of the gymnasium, it is separated by a black cloth, and the black cloth is guarded by staff around it.

There is a yellow line drawn on the ground and a warning sign is erected, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the yellow line without permission.

Those who participate in the qualifiers will wait in their seats outside the yellow line in order.

Seeing Zhou Lu coming in, a staff member swept it over him with a hand-held instrument.

The staff gave Zhou Lu a piece of paper and a mask.

On the paper are rules, procedures, precautions, etc., and there is a number, which says 3055

When it's your turn, you will call out this string of numbers.

Zhou Lu looked at the words on the red paper and knew that in the first round of the preliminaries, there was no need to compete.

The black brie in the middle of the gymnasium is the first test venue.

In order to be fair and impartial and avoid favoritism, contestants must wear masks in addition to numerical numbers.

Based on the scores of all the judges, the top 100 in the ten gymnasiums were finally selected and entered the second round in the afternoon.

The first test begins.

In order to avoid extraneous branches, Zhou Lu first put on a mask and sat in the stands on the sidelines.

Ling Ershao was in the front rows, talking to the four people in a low voice.

Ling Ershao: "That kid's name is Zhou Lu, when I find out his whereabouts, you go and kill him." ”

A man in a black shirt hesitated for a moment and said, "Second Young Master Ling, killing people in the capital, this is ......"
