Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Great Contest of the Dragon List
Chu, imperial capital, Zhenguan College.
Today, this college, which is the same age as Chu Guozuo, has ushered in the annual Dragon List Competition.
Since early in the morning, the area within a radius of 100 miles of Zhenguan Academy has been in turmoil, they are all from all over the world, and they gather in the imperial capital today to watch the annual dragon list competition.
The annual Dragon List Competition is divided into two stages, the first stage is 'Keeping the List', which means that the 300 students who stayed on the Dragon List in the last session need to keep their rankings at this stage.
At this stage, tens of thousands of students from Zhenguan Academy can come to the stage to challenge the 300 students on the Dragon List, and the challenger will inherit the Dragon List ranking if he wins, and the same is true for the defenders.
The second stage is the 'Playing List', after the first round of 'Keeping the List', the 300 students who stand out will have a battle for the Dragon Ranking in the second stage, so as to finally decide their position on the Dragon List.
But don't underestimate the ranking on the dragon list, even if there is a difference of one place, the treatment is completely different.
In particular, the treatment of the top ten on the dragon list is even more exaggerated to the point that it is unimaginable.
This time, the dragon list is still on the 'Jiaolong Yuan'. This is the place where the dragon list of the past dynasties is compared, and it is also the place where the dragon list was born. On the Jiaolong Plain, there is a stone tablet that soars into the sky.
The names of the 300 students after the annual Dragon List Contest will be engraved on it for people to admire.
Therefore, this monument is also known as 'ascending the monument', once entering the monument, it is not ordinary from then on.
At a quarter past nine o'clock in the morning, Jiaolong was already crowded, and the stands around it were full of spectators who came to watch the dragon list competition.
In the middle of the stands, the Ascending Monument towers into the sky.
Around the monument, there are 300 rings scattered around, and these rings will be the venue for the first round of 'guarding the list'. 300 Dragon List students will be challenged by all the students in the academy.
"There are too many people!" Ma Feifei and a group of people came to a stand and sat down, looking at the crowds around them, and couldn't help but sigh.
The number of people in this Jiaolong Plain is at least not less than 200,000!
This is the first time Ma Feifei has come to another world and seen so many people gather for an event. More than 200,000 yuan! What an exaggerated statistic, that is, in this world of cultivation, it can be done, otherwise ordinary people will not be able to see clearly just by the distance between the stands and the ring, it is simply smaller than an ant; without a huge screen, you will not want to see the game clearly at all.
But in this world, for these cultivators, this distance is really not a big deal.
Ma Feifei and their position is quite high, in front of the stands, it is said that this is the ticket that Zhou Guanyu got from his father, this kind of ticket is used to entertain VIPs from various countries, or some princes and ministers of Chu State, as well as the power of cultivation.
Zhou Zhuya and Yu Qingyang sat next to him on the left and right, Zhou Zhuyan was okay, she had also come to watch the Dragon List Competition, and she was used to this kind of occasion, but Yu Qingyang was the same as Ma Feifei, looking around with curious eyes, and when she heard Ma Feifei sigh, she couldn't help but nod in agreement: "It's really a lot." ”
Zhou Guanyu sat next to Zhou Zhuya, and when he heard this, he also showed a proud look on his face, and couldn't help but boast: "What is this, shopkeeper, have you never seen the state banquet of our Chu State, it is spectacular." ”
"State banquet?" Ma Feifei was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something, and said, "Is it the state banquet set up by the king of your Chu State every five years?"
The current king of Chu, Chu Shengwang, was the twelfth king of Chu and reigned for more than 200 years; although Chu Shengwang only reigned for more than 200 years, he was the most famous king of Chu except for the founding king Chu Bawang.
If you want to say that this Chu Shengwang has any great achievements~ Actually, there is none, and his cultivation is only in the realm of Lingzun, but why can he be famous? That is because he set up this state banquet once every five years during his reign.
With the strength of the Chu State, the guests of the four countries were entertained.
To put it simply, it is to invite people from other countries to come to Chu to eat, drink, and have fun, and they don't need money, it's free! After people leave, they have to give a lot of gifts, and they serve people very thoughtfully, so that people can't find fault.
So in the Canglong Continent, the state banquet of the Chu State is very well-known, and every state banquet can squeeze the traffic of the imperial capital to explode.
Gathering 200,000 people in one place like the current one is nothing compared to a state banquet, which is calculated in millions of people.
"Exactly!" Zhou Guanyu looked very excited. "The Holy King of Chu set up a state banquet, the whole country celebrated with the common people, let all the nations come to the court, and feel the 5,000-year-old style of the Chu State. ”
"The Holy King of Chu is comparable to the Overlord!"
After Ma Feifei sat on the side and listened to Zhou Guanyu's words, he couldn't help but pout, and secretly said that this was another brain-dead fan of the Holy King of Chu. Everyone has two opinions on the opening of the state banquet by the Holy King of Chu: one is that the Holy King of Chu's move not only shows the heritage of the Great Chu, not only makes the Great Chu enjoy the treatment of all states to come to the dynasty, but also drives the prosperity of the entire Great Chu, which is comparable to the merit of the Overlord of Chu to create the Chu State.
There is also a view that although the Holy King of Chu has gained enough sense of honor on the bright side, it is actually consuming the heritage of Great Chu, and in the long run, Great Chu will decline or even perish under the leadership of the Holy King of Chu.
Of course, those who hold the first view make up the majority.
As a Chinese man with a history of 5,000 years, Ma Feifei has seen too many dynasties rise and fall in the history books, and history has clearly given the answer.
Zhou Zhuya has been observing Ma Feifei, because she has known each other for a long time, and Zhou Zhuyan still knows a little about some of Ma Feifei's small actions, seeing Ma Feifei pouting, Zhou Zhuyan couldn't help asking: "Brother Ma seems to have a different opinion on the state banquet?"
Ma Feifei shook his head, this matter really has nothing to do with him, what's the point of saying it or not, he was about to speak, at this time the surrounding environment suddenly quieted down, Ma Feifei glanced up, and found that everyone's eyes were focused on the audience, Ma Feifei looked over and found that a middle-aged man was standing above the ring below.
"This is my father. Zhou Zhuya whispered.
Vice President of Da Chu Zhenguan Academy, Wuji Spirit Emperor - Zhou Wuji.
Ma Feifei nodded, the middle-aged man looks three points similar to Zhou Zhuya, a boy and a girl, it is not difficult to guess the relationship between the two.
The huge Jiaolongyuan quieted down, and Zhou Wuji, who was standing in the air, looked around and said with a smile: "It's the annual Dragon List Contest of Zhenguan Academy again, as the vice president of Zhenguan Academy, I, Zhou Wuji, on behalf of Zhenguan Academy, welcome you to come from thousands of miles to watch this Dragon List Competition." ”
The words fell, and the earth-shattering applause lasted for nine seconds.
When the applause stopped, Zhou Wuji said again: "It's an honor that we have also invited famous figures from the Canglong Continent to watch this year's Dragon List Competition. Next, I will introduce them to you in turn, they are, Chu Shengwang of Chu State, Yan Heng King of Yan State, Chu Sheng, Yan Sheng, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Prince~~~"
