Chapter 31 Drawing of lots
The draw ceremony for the main competition of the World Martial Arts Conference will be held in the Dahua Imperial City, and at that time, the sixteen participating teams will all appear, and the Dahua Chaoyang Emperor and a number of important ministers will also supervise and watch on the spot.
Among the sixteen teams, ten teams stood out after passing the scorching battle of the qualifiers, so there is some understanding between these teams, but there are six special teams, because they have not shown up so far, but they are still full of mystery at this time.
The three teams of Sword Pavilion, Heavenly Master Dao, and Qianchan Temple, needless to say, know that they are absolutely strong enemies, no matter which team is present, they definitely don't want to meet them in the first round, but as for the remaining three teams, they are far less feared than them, especially the grassland and the twilight snow clan, for the monks of the Central Plains, their players are all from another world, and there is a difference in origin from the way of cultivation, so it is impossible to take it lightly.
Among the six special teams, there is only the prince team, which may be a little contemptuous, but when everyone sees that the contestants are the great prince and the seventh prince of the Dahua Dynasty, this sense of contempt instantly disappears.
Those who don't know may not think so, but those who know clearly know that the eldest prince and the seventh prince of the Dahua Dynasty are definitely not idle people.
The prince of Dahua, when he was young, had to enter the Sword Pavilion to study for a period of time, and the disciples were relatively solid, and these two people, when they were minors, went deep into the military camp to practice, defend the country and kill the enemy, and their martial arts are absolutely extraordinary, and it is rumored that the eldest prince even has the strength of the Quartet Realm, and the legendary genius of the Seven Princes, I am afraid it will definitely not be simple.
Emperor Yang didn't say much, and the lottery ceremony soon began in an orderly manner, and the prince's team, as the face of the Dahua Dynasty, was naturally the first to play.
In the center of the field, there is a luxurious brocade box, and there are eight round balls in the brocade box, corresponding to eight groups of matchups, which are East One, East Three, West One, West Three, South One, South Three, North One, North Three.
The draw will be conducted by six special teams in turn, and these six teams will also be divided into eight groups to avoid them running into each other in the first round, and then the remaining two balls will be mixed with the other eight balls, and the remaining ten teams will draw their numbers from them, and finally be fairly divided into eight groups.
At this time, there was a young man in Chinese costumes, and he was Zhao Yu, the seventh prince who drew lots on behalf of the prince team.
As a prince, Zhao Yu does not have the unique dignified and domineering spirit of the royal family, except for his beautiful appearance and full of gorgeous clothes, there seems to be no other place that makes people feel outstanding.
Emperor Yang saw it in his eyes, he didn't say anything, but smiled and whispered to the national teacher and Taigong next to him, and the people around him were already surprised, although Emperor Yang was very strict with several princes on weekdays, but he only loved the seven princes.
"Xiyi, the royal Zhao Yun, Zhao Yu is the third duel!"
After the official announcement, there are other officials behind him who record it in the matchup table on the wooden card, and then this list will be transcribed to the emperor's list and announced to the world.
The second one to appear on the stage was Dur of the grassland, as a guest, such an arrangement can be regarded as the Dahua Dynasty giving enough attention to the grassland, but there was no audience at the scene, so there would be no boos, which made Dur slightly disappointed.
"Nansan, Prairie Duer, and Ximu Cha are all the sixth!"
The third one to appear, not surprisingly, is the Twilight Snow Clan, at this time the draw was made by a woman from the Twilight Snow Clan, and the contestants she participated with were husband and wife, Lin Qi seemed to see that this person was not the girl who followed the Twilight Picture that day.
"Dongsan, Twilight Snow Clan, Twilight White Lotus, the second scene!"
After the draw of lots for the teams representing the three sides, it is the draw for the three major factions.
The representative of the Sword Pavilion is Liu Jizong, the Heavenly Master is Ling Xiyu, and the Thousand Zen Sect is Master Yuanli.
"Dongyi, Sword Pavilion Liu Jizong, He Mingdu, the first game!"
"Nanyi, Qianzen Temple Yuanli Yuanbao, the fifth!"
"Beisan, Heavenly Master Dao Ling Xiyu, Wei Dongfei, the eighth game!"
The draw of the six special teams is completed, and the teams that are selected from the qualifiers will enter the lottery accordingly!
"Sun Chengshuo of the Xuanlance Battalion, Lu Qisheng, and Dong Er, will have the first city match with the Sword Pavilion!"
Unexpectedly, the first person to draw lots took the Sword Pavilion away, and everyone present was stunned, and they all wanted to see the expression of the person who drew lots, but this person from the Xuangun Battalion only glanced in the direction of the Sword Pavilion, and there was no other expression.
"Brother Ma, what is this Xuanlance Battalion, it looks like they are wearing military uniforms, but they are different from other guards?"
Seeing these soldiers with strange uniforms, Lin Qi couldn't help but secretly ask Ma Zhanpeng beside him, after all, Ma Zhanpeng is well-informed.
"The Xuanlance Battalion belongs to the forbidden army system, but these people are not ordinary soldiers, they are still trained as monks!"
"Monk?"
"Yes, the role of the Xuanlance Battalion is a special team specially trained to prevent the monks from making trouble, after all, the best way to deal with the monks is still the monks, so the Xuanlance Battalion was born, and they usually use spears as their own weapons, so they are called the Xuanlance Battalion, as far as I know, these people are not simple, and it is extremely difficult to train, so there is only one battalion at present. ”
After Ma Zhanpeng finished speaking, Lin Qi immediately realized, and at this time, two more teams came to the stage to draw lots.
"Bei Er, Talent Alliance, Min Chengzhi, Wang Linyu!"
"Xisan, Sword Pavilion Hong Shaoyu, Qi Xuanhui!"
Unexpectedly, these two teams did not draw opponents, but from then on, each draw will produce a new set of opponents.
"Hmph, Hong Shaoyu, see if I don't beat him half to death this time!"
Ma Zhanpeng's face sank, with a strange smile, and he jumped into the ring, Lin Qi knew that he had some dislikes with Hong Shaoyu, so it seems that Ma Zhanpeng wanted to draw Hong Shaoyu, but is such a thing so simple?
"Xisi, the thief Ma Zhanpeng, and Hei Tan will have the fourth game with Sword Pavilion Hong Shaoyu and Qi Xuanhui!"
"Uh......"
Lin Qi was stunned, he didn't expect Ma Zhanpeng to really do it, at this time, Ma Zhanpeng smiled strangely, looked back at Hong Shaoyu, who had already stood back in the crowd, and actually stretched out his right hand and gave his thumb up in front of everyone's eyes.
This is a naked provocation!
"Heh, look at it, young and vigorous!" Emperor Yang smiled, and seemed to like this atmosphere.
And Hong Shaoyu, who was ridiculed, was gloomy and angry at this time, but he couldn't attack because of the occasion, and now he can't start the game immediately, and then he wants to beat this fat man half to death!
Ma Zhanpeng walked down, at this time one of the white-faced brothers walked into the ring, the two passed by, Ma Zhanpeng was stunned, seemed to notice something, he looked back, but at this time the other party had already stepped in front of the brocade box.
Thoughtful, huh......
Ma Zhanpeng scratched his head and walked out of the ring, at this time Lin Qi was already waiting for him.
"Brother Ma, how did you do it? In such a stern place, you can also do tricks?" Although he knew that Ma Zhanpeng's methods were clever, Lin Qi still couldn't believe it.
"That...... I said luck, do you believe it?"
Ma Zhanpeng smiled and told the truth, in fact, even he didn't expect that there would be a day when his wishes would come true, and he would not ask for this if he knew it.
At this moment, the crowd suddenly shouted, the two were stunned, and quickly turned around, only to find that the white-masked man on the stage, who didn't know what to do at this time, was surrounded in the middle of the venue by a group of forbidden army guards!
