Chapter 304: Smooth sailing
Representatives of the five ministries of soldiers, academics, criminals, commerce, and miscellaneous were seated.
As a representative of the Division, Dean Qiu once again made a speech. The content is nothing more than to praise all the students, thank all the audience and other official words, the fifth Tingyun is not interested in listening, but the audience's applause overshadowed a while, which set off the atmosphere of the scene very warmly.
Before the competition started, Fifth Tingyun looked around the venue, among all the waiting students, of course, Shen Duxiu and those who were after the Fifth Heaven of the Nayuan Realm were more conspicuous. Among the junior students, they are not only superhuman in strength, but they are not as old and tall as normal junior students.
In fact, before this, Fifth Tingyun felt that with this vote for the participation of cultivators above the Fifth Heaven of the Nayuan Realm, it was estimated that many children of the First and Second Heavens would directly give up the Championship Wheel. However, to his surprise, there were still many students waiting in the venue at this time, and it seemed that not many people were discouraged.
Martial arts, that's what it is, if you're afraid of retreating, it's hard to advance!
Regardless of the outcome, participation itself is a sign of courage. Of course, for those children of the first and second heavens of the Nayuan Realm, it is also an honor to be able to participate in the championship round, how could they give up?
Finally, when the fifth Tingyun was thinking wildly, Dean Qiu's words were finished. In a burst of earth-shattering applause and shouts, the championship round officially began.
There is an office under the stone platform on the south side, and now the eyes of the audience and students are focused on it.
The members of the division drew a sign engraved with the student's name on each of the two different colored lots. After the drawing, the colleagues next to him were in charge of taking notes, and the members of the department loudly announced the names and academies of the two people drawn, and designated a ring for them.
The two students who were selected jumped up from the waiting area, landed on the ring one after another, saluted each other, and waited for the official start of the competition.
The member of the department drew nine sets from the lottery in a row and hit eighteen people.
In the nine-party ring, soon there were people going up.
After making a record and confirming that the information was correct, the member of the school department said loudly: "The martial arts test for further education will be stopped at the same time." The rules of the championship round are very simple, those who fall from the ring, those who fall to the ground, and those who take the initiative to admit defeat will be judged to lose. After saying that, he glanced around, and then preached, "Begin!"
The order fell, and the nine groups of students moved at the same time, and for a while, there was a sword and sword shadow in the ring, and there were shouts in the stands, so it was not lively.
Among the eighteen people in this first round of drawing, they were all only twelve or thirteen-year-old children, and the highest strength was only the Nayuan Realm Double Heaven. Therefore, despite the high enthusiasm of the audience, the performance in the ring was actually mediocre, so the atmosphere in the arena gradually cooled down a lot.
The first round was quickly divided into winners and losers, the winners were happy, and the losers were depressed, and the details need not be explained.
After the nine-party ring won and lost all the points, the division members began the second round of the draw.
The results of today's draw seemed to be intended to avoid those cultivators of the five heavens of the Nayuan Realm, and it was not until the seventh round that the cultivators above the five heavens of the Nayuan Realm such as the Fifth Tingyun and Shen Duxiu appeared one after another. However, cultivators after the Fifth Heaven rarely encountered them, so the first day of the ring match seemed dull and passionless.
The fifth Tingyun has been out of the game a total of once today, and the opponent is still a little boy who has just entered the Nayuan Realm Double Heaven, he won without any suspense, and he has never been out again.
After all, there are hundreds of people in the championship round, and eighteen people are tested in nine games in one round, and it takes forty or fifty rounds just to complete the first batch of ordinary people. And the time of each round of competition is long and short, and the fast ten breaths time to end the battle, such as the fifth Tingyun and Shen Duxiu, they almost came to the stage to divide the results; the slow ones may also fight for more than half an hour, especially when they encounter the kind of people with comparable strength but no one is willing to obey anyone, then they have to wait.
As a result, on the first day of the championship round, only half of the participants were out, that is, until the end of the first day, a quarter of the total number of students were eliminated. According to this calculation, it will take another day tomorrow to go through all the first batch of students and eliminate the remaining half of the students.
Fifth, Tingyun probably knows why the time for the championship round is scheduled to be seven days......
And so, when the fourth day of the competition was over, there were still a hundred people left. In the first four days, the fifth Tingyun only got out of the game three times in total, and fortunately, the opponents in the first three matches were only the children of the second heaven, and he won with little effort.
The other cultivators of the five heavenly queens of the Nayuan Realm who had the same strength as him were all in a similar situation to him. I don't know if this is an "insider" arrangement made by the school department for the overall viewing effect of the entrance examination.
Anyway, the competition in the first four days can be said to be boring, in the words of some viewers when they complained, this hall of the championship round is not as good as the previous admission qualification competition of Xiaoxiang College.
In this situation, the enthusiasm of the audience is gradually worn out.
The only trace of enthusiasm comes from the expectation of the last three days of competition for the champion, the top eye, and the flower.
From the fifth day of the championship round, the excitement gradually returned, and the enthusiasm of the audience was re-energized in one competition after another, which lasted significantly longer. At the same time, people like Fifth Tingyun and Shen Duxiu shot more frequently.
The mechanism of the ring competition is like a big wave of sand, and in the first four days, those students with low strength were washed one by one, leaving only those who really have the strength to win the championship. Although the work of surfing the sand is boring and long (the audience waited for four days in extreme pain), it is an indispensable and important part of the exciting competition that follows.
The afternoon of the fifth day of the championship round.
As another round of competition came to an end, the member of the division looked at the sun, which was already in the west, and this time he did not pick up the lottery again. Instead, he took two steps forward and said loudly: "Today's competition is coming to an end again, and through the tedious competition in the previous few days, our championship round has finally entered the real attention stage." Now I declare that the closure of eight places from the ring. ”
As his words fell, the ring, which occupied eight directions, made a burst of noise. The audience looked intently, only to see the Bafang ring slowly sinking, and finally only half of it was left on the ground - this means that the ring is closed.
"Thank you to so many spectators for not giving up on the boring competition in the past few days. It seems that this member of the department himself is also very clear in his heart, "In order to show the sincerity of our department, after the joint discussion of the leaders of the five departments of the military department, the school department, the criminal department, the business department, and the miscellaneous department, we will deliberately add a test today, as the end of today, and also for the wonderful schedule of tomorrow!"
As soon as these words came out, the enthusiasm of the audience was not very high, and some even booed.
However, this attitude of the audience immediately turned one hundred and eighty degrees after hearing the next words of the members: "It has been decided that the two sides of today's final battle will be directly generated among the students after the Fifth Heaven of the Nayuan Realm. ”
