The main task of the opening ceremony is to determine the grouping, the top eight of the provincial martial arts will have the qualifications to participate in the mainland-level martial arts, and the mainland-level martial arts will not be able to "cut the line", so the name of the highest level martial arts in the East Continent is set at 24 people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The mainland-level martial arts will be divided into two categories, the group stage and the knockout round.

The 24 players in Group 3 will be divided into 4 groups of six in each group, and the top two teams in the group will qualify for the finals.

The number of places in the highest level events is constant, so the process is also fixed, four groups of knockouts, four rings, three periods in the morning, noon and evening, and four rings at the same time.

In the group stage, each martial artist needs to compete with the players in the group, which means that each player has five games, and each group has a total of fifteen battles, and each player in the group stage has one battle a day.

Completed in five days.

Knockout round, divided into quarterfinals, semifinals, finals, one game a day, two by two, three days over.

Counting the opening ceremony, the continental-level martial arts will last for nine days, and the champion will be rewarded with a bonus of 10 million, and the imperial peerless remnants will be eligible for enlightenment. The top four and top eight are divided into two grades, as long as there are rewards within the top eight, including martial arts and money.

Almost every time the top eight of the martial arts will have no accidents, no sudden death, and often end up being a strong person in the Infinite Realm, which is also one of the methods of balancing class contradictions in the empire, setting a model.

So there is an unwritten rule, there must be two "miracle boys" in the top eight who started from scratch and broke into the county, county, provincial, and continental levels.

Often these miracle boys, the sons of the poor family, will receive special care from the empire, which basically means that they will rise to prominence, if they do not offend the real powerful.

There are four groups of seeded players, three of whom are taken from the first place of the three provincial martial arts competitions, and the last one is selected by the special envoy of the Ministry of Rites.

Gu Dongping is undoubtedly seeded, but he is only the third seed, in the third group, the first seed Chu Hongyan, and the second seed is Zhao Weifeng. No. 3 seed Gu Dongping. The fourth seed is Wang Tianwen, who is in Shunyi Province with Zhao Weifeng and lost in one move.

Gu Dongping is in the third group, and the other five people are Rong Sidao, Qi Li, Zhang Shaojun, Shu De, and Hua Jinliang.

Because Gu Dongping had all the information of the 24 people in his hands, he smiled when he saw the members of his group.

Rong Sidao is from the military department, Qi Li and Shu De are the children of the Han family who came out of Xuanwu Province, and Zhang Shaojun and Hua Jinliang are the children of the Zhang family and the Hua family respectively.

When the third group was decided, Li Gen, who was standing on the stage and presiding over the lottery ceremony, glanced at Gu Dongping, and Gu Dongping understood what he meant, this was compensation for the last time when Deacon Li, who presided over the Xuanwu Provincial Martial Arts Association, operated in the dark.

Li Gen met with Gu Dongping before, and by the way, he mentioned to him the fate of Deacon Li - Deacon Li was dismissed because of other things. At that time, Gu Dongping knew that the deputy director was a wonderful person, and in fact, it turned out that this was the case.

In order to prevent the highest level martial artists from meeting in advance and affecting ticket revenue, there will only be one seeded player in each group to avoid unexpected elimination and leave the suspense at the end.

The ticket income of the mainland-level martial arts competition is directly linked to the political performance of the host, Gu Dongping has been to the Deep Blue Training Hall before, and he wants to cancel the ticket income, so he tells the curator not to worry about this ticket problem.

Because Gu Dongping planned to throw 30 million imperial coins in the Deep Blue Training Hall to pay for the nine-day ticket, but Li Gen personally talked to him and dispelled his thoughts.

In a word, don't do all the good deeds, knocked on the threshold of Gu Dongping, and made him dispel his mind!

Therefore, the Deep Blue Cultivation Hall is not free, it has become a flaw that is not a "flaw", and it is also a shortcoming for others to accuse him.

Li Gen explained the misunderstanding caused by Deacon Li's surname at the first meeting, hinting that the two had different positions, and the last golden and jade good words narrowed the distance between the two, and at first Gu Dongping was not sure of Li Gen's attitude.

The officials of Shendu are as smooth as loaches.

Now he is sure that according to the situation of the third group, this group is obviously "special" taken care of, except for Gu Dongping, the strength of the other five people is average, and the two poor players are the top among the five, which is obviously a dark box operation.

It's just that this time Gu Dongping has become the beneficiary, and the feeling that this identity change is not targeted makes him a little uncomfortable.

But whatever? Isn't that good?

Gu Dongping changed his posture and watched the opening ceremony quietly.

........

The opening ceremony is immediately followed by the New Year's Eve countdown, from 7 o'clock to 0:5 hours, there are a lot of programs, and because it is necessary to eliminate the negative impact of the Shenzhou earthquake, as a triennial martial arts event in the East Continent, it is also a festival of national carnival, and this time the opening ceremony of the mainland-level martial arts will have many fresh programs.

Li Gen, as the commander-in-chief of this martial arts meeting, sat in the VIP seat with a calm look in his eyes, and beside him were the celebrities of the Donglu family, and the figures at the elder level, this time they played the role of supervision and regulation.

At the fiery opening ceremony, in the cultivation hall of nearly 100,000 people, the voices of people roared, but Li Gen's heart was as calm as water, as the deputy director of the Department of Household Etiquette, Li Gen was not particularly satisfied with this trip to the Eastern Continent.

You must know that the Eastern Continent is too barren in the five continents of the human race, and all aspects of martial arts, runes, wars, and resources are very poor.

As one of the deputy directors of the Department of Ceremonies, he is different from Deacon Li before, no matter which state Deacon Li goes to, delegating exercise is a kind of recognition.

And Li Gen came to Donglu, a Wupin central official, a son of the Li branch of Qingzhou, which means "exile", although it is only half a month, but this is not a good signal.

However, because he was coming to Donglu, he mobilized his family's intelligence department to collect some information, and after reading the information, he smiled, because he saw a turning point.

He wants to use the imager and the so-called live broadcast to make this martial arts meeting beautiful and bright, and suppress all the discordant voices caused by the earthquake in Shenzhou.

This is similar to "Chongxi".

Following the imager, he found Gu Dongping and Zhang Qiang, so he found that this time was not too bad for him. If you can get to know Zhang Qiang, if he breaks through one day later, it will be a huge reward. Even if he is only stepping into the abyss as a half-step, this kind of strength also means strong strength in the super gate valve Li family.

Li Gen from the super door valve understands the meaning of the abyss better than others, and the abyss is the top grade family, and even the standard configuration of the super door valve, and when it comes to the strength of the abyss, you will find that many things are at your fingertips.

Li Gen's gaze inadvertently swept over Chu Hongyan, Zhao Weifeng, Guan Hong and others, he nodded unconsciously, this trip to the Eastern Continent gave him a lot of unexpected gains, and also verified what is called willow and flower, and what is called surprise.

This time, the overall level of the Eastern Continent Martial Arts Association is still poor, but the top strength already has the atmosphere of the Empire.

Although it is a little worse than the middle and northern continents, it can already be tied with the southern continents, half a step stronger than the western continents, and it is already very good for the eastern continent at the bottom, especially Chu Hongyan, his gaze paused on Chu Hongyan.

The Li family's intelligence system shows that Chu Hongyan belongs to the category of "not to be detected" and "not to be intentionally harmed", which is interesting.......

Li Gen slowly raised his wine glass and signaled to everyone in the private room, these people are the top people in the Eastern Continent, and most of them have the same status, and Gu Tianqi is among them. Seeing him toast, everyone else raised their glasses in return, and for the children of the Li family, even if it was just a branch, no one slackened.

.......

On January 1, 1010 in the Great Xia calendar, the family banquet of the ancient family of Hongde Manor.

Today is not only the first day of the official group stage of the martial arts meeting, but also the most important family banquet of the year of the Gu family, especially Zhang Qiang's breakthrough of half a step into the abyss to make this family banquet more lively.

The empty main hall of the Gu family was crowded with people, Gu Wenze stood above and looked at it with some complexity, although the January family banquet was the most important one of the year, but there were too few people like today.

As for what these people are here for, it goes without saying.

But his face instantly returned to normal, and his gaze at Gu Jinyi became normal. The only thing that made him happy was that it was also a pity for those present today that Zhang Qiang, who attended almost all the family banquets, did not come today.

This time, Gu Jinyi did not have that old back behind him, which made many people a little unaccustomed.

Many people remembered that Zhang Qiang had served three generations of people in the ancient and modern world.

Zhang Qiang didn't come, this time Gu Wenze personally asked, Gu Jinyi's answer was "consolidate cultivation", in fact, everyone here knew that this was just a small step back from Gu Jinyi and Zhang Qiang, indicating to the head of the family that he had no intention of taking power, so Gu Wenze encouraged him and sent valuable resources and medicines.

Gu Wenze didn't think about picking Zhang Qiang out of the ancient and modern billions, but after thinking about it, this is the shortcoming of the family system, sometimes the people cultivated by the small family will forget everyone, Zhang Qiang is loyal to the ancient family, or the ancient family of the ancient and modern billions. Gu Wenze knew it in his heart, so he didn't talk to himself.

........

The family banquet lasted for a long time, from morning to evening, everyone was happy, nothing bad happened, Gu Jinyi, who was sitting in the inner hall, still had a smile on his face, but he was already scolding his mother in his heart, looking at the people who were still around, he suddenly didn't know what to say, this may be the trouble of happiness.

Why has it continued until now and has not left, in fact, it is because of the large screen projected by the imager hanging in the main hall, and Gu Dongping's battle was only at night on the first day.

Gu Dongping said that as a good boy, as a member of the Gu family, he first sent one to the main family, and today's family banquet happened to be connected to the live broadcast channel as an additional program.

The other clansmen saw the imager sent by Gu Dongping, and praised him for his young age, how he made great achievements in martial arts, runes, and management, not to mention it, because Gu Jinyi, who was sitting in the inner hall, was about to vomit.

With the help of new friends and the reminders of several of his brothers, before the family banquet began, the three brothers Gu Huairen, Gu Shanghao, and Gu Junfan bowed their heads and apologized, and the four brothers "laughed and grudged".

For the first time, Gu Jinyi discovered that his son, who had been relatively mediocre since he was a child, actually had a strong talent for a long time, and he showed his head in the mother's womb.

.......

Flattery at the family banquet, not to mention the first thing to say, at this time, the Deep Blue Cultivation Ground ushered in the first stop of the martial arts meeting, and the opponent Rong Sidao!
