Chapter 16: An Unexpected Format

The final championship match of the top four has finally begun, and this time there are many more people who come to watch the game than before. What everyone didn't expect was that the top 4 were from the same class, and they were freshmen, and many people couldn't believe and accept this fact, but they were looking forward to what it would be like for classmates to kill each other. However, due to Situ Xue's absence halfway through, the Ten Saints did not participate in the competition, and other reasons, the game will naturally be much inferior.

"I heard that the principal will be present at the championship match and will be giving a speech. "In the bustling crowd, they discussed with each other.

This is not difficult to think, after all, this is the first time that an intramural martial arts tournament has been officially held after two years of culture and education. When it comes to the finals, the principal should also attend. ”

"But I'm looking forward to the principal's speech. ”

When Situ Fan entered the school, he had not seen the principal himself, and it was Director Liu Xuan who handled the school-running procedures for him, and he still wanted to see the appearance of the principal standing at the top of the school.

Everyone was already seated, and the top 4 players were also sitting on the chairs on the sidelines, quietly waiting for the arrival of the principal Dugu Xiao. While everyone was discussing in a whisper, Principal Lone Xiao had already walked in from the adjacent entrance of the top 4 seats, accompanied by Director Liu Xuan. White thick eyebrows, indescribable majesty, dressed in a black suit, with his hands behind his back, walked towards the center of the Douwang Platform with sonorous steps.

Situ Fan saw it very clearly, he instantly felt a pressure, and a sense of oppression, which may be the feeling of being tempered.

Lonely Xiao waved the microphone, and after the sound measurement, a loud voice spoke: "This fighting competition has been held smoothly so far, first of all, I would like to thank Director Liu Xuan for his hard work." At this, everyone burst into thunderous applause.

After a quiet moment, he continued, "I think everyone knows why the school decided to hold a martial arts tournament, so I won't repeat it here. On behalf of the school, I would like to thank everyone for their participation and dedication in the fighting tournament, although some of the contestants did not make it to the finals, but I believe that everyone has potential!"

As soon as everyone heard this, the more excited they became, and they felt like they were being affirmed, and they couldn't help but shout: "Thank you, Principal, thank you!"

Lone Xiao then pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then finally said: "Everyone is also looking forward to the final game, so I won't talk too much here." Now let Director Liu Xuan speak and announce the rules of the next competition. ”

Lonely Xiao gestured to Director Liu Xuan, and then returned to his place and sat down. Situ Fan kept watching below, always feeling that he had seen the principal somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything.

Director Liu Xuan held the manuscript in his hand, raised his head, and said solemnly: "The final competition is divided into two rounds, the first round of the competition, that is, the theory, and the second round of the competition. Speaking of Biwen, it is because in the first two years, we have been focusing on literature and education, theoretical knowledge needs to be passed, and practice is based on theory; ”

Speaking of which, the school's theoretical knowledge scores are indeed among the best, but it is precisely because they attach too much importance to literature and ignore martial arts that students have almost no opportunities to practice, and they only have physical education classes and occasionally learn the foundation of qi, which is a big step away from the development of tricks. Those students who can use qi to make moves are rare in the whole school.

This is also why Situ Fan didn't meet many people who could use qi in the competition. The people I met were all people who were not mature enough to use qi and only knew some simple tricks.

Ye Man's ability to use qi is more mature, and it is estimated that the reason is similar to Li Xiaopang's, that is, the family has arranged a professional martial artist as a mentor.

Speaking of the Biwen part, it was a nightmare for Situ Fan, and when he thought of the 6 points when he entered the school, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Li Xiaopang had already realized that Biwen was more difficult for Situ Fan than ascending to the sky, looked at Situ Fan with empathetic sympathy eyes, silently patted Situ Fan's back, and comforted: "Brother, do it yourself." ”

Director Liu Xuan began to speak: "Please invite the top 4 players to come to the stage and prepare for the theoretical knowledge competition!"

At this time, Ye Man jumped up and ran over with a smile, Ge Feng, but he didn't care, Li Xiaopang held his stomach and walked up with a big grin. Only Situ Fan didn't want to move, he originally thought that the fighting match would only be a fight against each other, and there would be no theoretical knowledge competition, but he was afraid of something.

Director Liu Xuan saw that Situ Fan was slow to come forward, and reminded: "Please come forward with that player named Situ Fan, the game is about to start." ”

When the principal Dugu Xiao heard Situ Fan's name, he raised his head and looked over to see what kind of person the person recommended by his old friend was. Looking at Situ Fan, Dugu Xiao suddenly began to understand something, thinking that this was Situ Fan, and he was really a different person.

Situ Fan was very keenly aware that someone was looking at him, then quickly raised his head, glanced at it, and vaguely felt that his eyes were coming from behind Director Liu Xuan, and behind him was Dugu Xiao. But it's unlikely to think about it, after all, I don't know the principal.

Dugu Xiao was a little surprised, he didn't expect Situ Fan to be so keen, at such a young age, it was really unfathomable.

Situ Fan was urged by Director Liu Xuan several times before he reluctantly moved his body and walked listlessly to the stage.

Not long after, Director Liu Xuan pointed to the dark box and said: "Everyone has ten chances to answer questions, there is a dark box here, everyone takes turns to draw a question, a total of ten rounds, and the ranking is determined by the number of correct answers." ”

Li Xiaopang was the first to walk up, put his hand directly through the round mouth of the camera obscura, blinked and kept tinkering inside, and took it out for a long time, probably praying that he could get an easy topic. After that, everyone got the questions one after another.

When Situ Fan looked at the question, he suddenly snickered, and it was written: What are the attributes of qi? Confidently, the first one rushed forward to answer, and as expected, the answer was correct.

Li Xiaopang watched from the sidelines, with a look of envy in his heart, thinking that his brother's character is really good. Looking at the problem in my hand again, I can't think of it even after racking my brain.

In the first round, only Situ Fan answered the drawn questions correctly, and the next questions completely hit Situ Fan's self-confidence. It's not for nothing that I scored 6 points in the test, and in the end I only answered 2 questions correctly, ranking first from the bottom, and the 6 points are estimated to be blind.

Situ Xue watched from the audience, but felt that her brother Fan was a little funny, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

The onlookers didn't think it was strange, after all, they only scored 6 points in the entrance exam, and it was already very good to be able to answer two questions correctly, and slowly, there were more laughs.

Li Xiaopang didn't know if it was open or what's wrong, so he answered 8 questions correctly in one breath and ranked first. And Ye Man and Ge Feng ranked second and third respectively.

Li Xiaopang couldn't help but show off now, and the only person who complained was Situ Fan, so he leaned over to Situ Fan and whispered in a smug tone: "Brother, do you see it?

Situ Fan secretly rolled his eyes, thinking that he was lying down again, Li Xiaopang, this guy is really enough, so easy to be proud.

"Yes, yes, yes. Situ Fan still said helplessly.

Li Xiaopang doesn't mind whether others are perfunctory or not, as long as others admit it, there will be mysterious excitement and self-confidence in his heart, so he doesn't have the heart to think about whether it is true or false, to put it bluntly, he is simple-minded and has developed limbs.

Director Liu Xuan looked at the score accumulation, walked to the microphone, and bowed his head: "Now I announce the ranking of the Biwen part, Li Chengming is first, Ye Man is second, Ge Feng is third, and Situ Fan is fourth. ”

As soon as the report was finished, there were bursts of ridicule from the audience. Situ Fan said that he didn't care about it was fake, after all, the leaders of the school this time, especially the principal, were present, and they still had to have this cheekiness.

When the atmosphere quieted down, Director Liu Xuan began to announce the rules of the martial arts part: "Then announce the martial arts part now, because the next one is closely related to the competition part, and now we need to transfer the venue to the school's Jiudou Building." ”

In fact, Director Liu Xuan couldn't understand why the principal chose Jiudoulou and just followed instructions.

Hearing the three words Jiudoulou, the audience began to whisper.

"Nine Bucket Towers, isn't it?"

"Is the Nine Bucket Building the one that is commonly known as the Ghost Building?"

"I heard that the Nine Bucket Tower has not been opened for many years. ”

When Situ Fan heard that so many people were discussing this Jiudoulou, he couldn't help but be curious, so he walked directly to Li Xiaopang's side, pushed it, and blocked his mouth with his hand: "I said, Xiaopang, what happened to the Jiudoulou that Director Liu Xuan said just now?"

"You're asking the right person this time, I said it at the beginning of the school year, and I did a lot of preparation to come to this school. "Li Xiaopang's inflated personality is really underwhelming.

"Don't talk nonsense, say it quickly, or you won't have time. Situ Fan urged Li Xiaopang.

Li Xiaopang cleared his throat and straightened his body, like Mr. Storyteller: "The Nine Bucket Building, with a total of nine floors, was used when the school was first established in order to elect the Ten Saint Candidates. Each level is one level, and if you can reach the 5th layer, you are eligible to enter the Ten Saints Candidate. I heard that the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes. Later, the ten saints were selected from among the candidates. The ten saints selected are marked with the corresponding representative numbers. As long as the challenger defeats the corresponding Ten Saints, the Ten Saints mark will belong to the corresponding challenger, and there will be no trial of candidates later. This is also the reason why the Nine Bucket Tower has been abandoned for many years and has not been used so far. Because it is old and looks a bit eerie, everyone calls it a ghost building. ”

Situ Fan had already listened to it, thinking that this school still had such a side, and it was estimated that there would be something terrible to look forward to, and his excitement couldn't help but be revealed.

"By the way, there is also this Nine Doulou, I heard that at that time, almost everyone reached the 5th floor, and no one could challenge it, only one person broke through the 5th floor and reached the 8th floor, but unfortunately failed on the ninth floor. Inside the ninth floor, there seems to be a mysterious scroll left by the first headmaster. I think it's a baby for sure. Li Xiaopang said, his eyes shining.

Situ Fan listened to Li Xiaopang's introduction all the way, full of anticipation and wanted to see the true face of Jiudoulou.

The large army moved rapidly, and finally a huge tower-shaped ancient building appeared in front of everyone.
