"Alright, the game is about to start today, and you can go out. Remember to be there before noon, if anyone is late, I'll have to skin him, you know?"

As soon as the morning dawned, Xiao Yun found the three people standing in the courtyard, he knew that he must be unhappy not to let them go out in the past two days, seeing that the game was approaching, he finally let them out.

"Okay, I can finally get out. ”

After being grounded for two days, they were finally liberated, and the three of them rushed out of the courtyard like birds with wings spread and flying high.

It was noon, the sun was shining, the sky was clear, and the city was noisy and lively.

The game is coming as scheduled, and the young people are all high-spirited and full of confidence, and they have been practicing chess skills for four years, just for today! The time has not yet come, and countless people have already gathered at the competition venue, whether they are participating in the competition or watching the game. There is a sea of people, and there is no edge in sight, from the central street to the competition venue, the whole street is crowded with people, and it is difficult to walk. In the seemingly crowded trend, the playing field is vacant, and everything is orderly and without chaos.

After Jing Yifan and the others took a turn in the city, they also followed the crowd to the competition venue. The five universities have arranged rest areas, and it is easy to find Xiao Yun who is waiting for them.

Jing Yifan looked around and found that several other universities had already arrived, in addition to the five universities, he also saw a group of people sitting on the ground, and opposite the five universities, there were also many rest areas, and there were many people inside.

Through Xiao Yun's puzzle, Jing Yifan instantly understood. The group of people sitting on the ground are civilian contestants, and the people opposite the five universities are naturally the children of the big families, and the facts are really as Xiao Yun said, the number of civilians and family children is indeed several times more than that of the five universities, and the civilians are even counted, and the Hongtian Dynasty is tens of millions of miles away, and it is not surprising that there are many civilians and there are more civilian contestants;

This is a battle between dragons and tigers, Jing Yifan is also vigilant, there are countless capable people in the world, the strong have their own strong players, a mountain is higher than a mountain, and there are not no people who are stronger than him.

"Stand back, stand back, the emperor is coming. ”

Moments later, a rush erupted in the crowd, and the crowd stepped aside to make way for it. It was Nalan Hongyi and the people from Yique Academy who arrived.

Nalan Hongyi is dressed in a formal suit today, looking extremely noble, and it is completely two extremes from what he saw three days ago. Three days ago, he was like a kind old man, which made people feel a sense of intimacy. Today, he has lost that gentle breath, and is more of an emperor-like momentum, which makes people want to surrender.

The people from Yique Academy quickly went to their rest area, and Nalan Hongyi walked to the competition venue in the midst of the stars and the moon, looked around, and found that everyone had already arrived, so his face was pale, and he said extremely seriously: "As the most sacred selection mode of Hongtian, since the establishment of the Hongtian Dynasty, countless talents have to be recruited every time. However, those who are here today, whether you are a family genius or a peerless demon, are all equal, and only those who are more skilled in chess are worthy of the name of genius. Now I'm announcing that the game is on!"

"Good!"

"Long live the emperor!"

As soon as Nalan Hongyi's voice fell, cheers immediately rang out in the crowd, running through the clouds and rushing towards the Nine Heavens.

With an order, the game finally kicked off.

The first stage is indeed an audition, and the number of participants this time is as high as 100, and it is not easy to count it in a moment. A few institutions are a little better, they have already been registered, and they can be determined by just checking it. The number of civilians and family members is already large, and there are some people whose names are unknown and unheard of, so it is more troublesome to find out the origin of their identities.

originally thought that the audition would take several days to end, Jing Yifan still underestimated the importance that the Hongtian Dynasty attached to chess skills, and such a huge audition had already ended in half a day.

Every time there are people in the game to fill the number, this time is not excluded, all those who are found out, are exiled outside the customs, and are not allowed to hold official positions for life, if they come from a big family, they are confiscated into the army, and they guard the frontier, and there is no mercy at all.

After the final statistics, there were a total of ninety-six participants in this game competition, including not only from the academy, families and commoners, but also more members of the royal family, which were rarely participated in by royal family members in the past, but this time it appeared.

After the audition, Nalan Hongyi walked into the arena again and said slowly: "According to the old practice, one person from each school can directly qualify. There are still 90 people left, so each person needs to play nine games, and the winner of five games advances. In the second round, one person can advance directly, and it needs to be decided by lottery, and each depends on luck. The rest is played one by one, and then the first round of games begins. ”

After Nalan Hongyi left the venue, Xiao Yun and several other schools handed in the list of direct promotions. Then let Jing Yifan and them go to draw the number, because the number of parties is different, the number of the draw is to play from the beginning to the end, the concise point is to get the number one to play against the next nine numbers, if you can win five games in a row, then you will naturally only need to play five games and advance directly. It is not excluded that you will meet your own people, if you really meet your own people, you can only blame bad luck.

Soon Jing Yifan and they drew the number, Jing Yifan got the eleventh, Li Tiannan was the twenty-third, Zhu Wu was the third, the numbers of the three people were relatively high, and they would not meet in the first round. In the crowd of many families opposite, there were many voices of disappointment, presumably because they had met their own family.

Yue Rong Xuefu was the first to play in Zhu Wu, and his luck was not bad, and he won the qualification after a total of two games and seven games. The two games they lost were both lost in the hands of the children of the big family, and now Jing Yifan finally understood why Xiao Yun asked them to pay attention to the children of the big family, it turned out that these people were the strongest opponents.

After Zhu Wu's competition, Jing Yifan focused his attention on He Xin'er, He Xin'er was the fifth, a little earlier than Jing Yifan. Through watching, Jing Yifan found that He Xin'er had indeed reached the Holy Hand stage, but the result surprised him, He Xin'er was also promoted, although it took nine games to advance, but Jing Yifan was shocked.

I'm afraid that except for her who didn't reach the peak of the Holy Hand, the rest are all here, but she was able to qualify for the promotion, which really impressed him.

Soon Jing Yifan came on the field, winning five games in a row and advancing directly, which made the other contestants more vigilant, it is not for nothing that they have won five games in a row, but the people who have won five games in a row in front of him are all from big families, and Jing Yifan is from the university, which cannot be compatible. Either you are lucky and meet those with low chess skills, or you have advanced chess skills and have this strength. Who can participate in the game will believe that they can win by luck, so there are more people who believe in the second point, which also makes them dare not underestimate Jing Yifan.

Next is Li Tiannan, there is no doubt that he also qualified for the promotion with five consecutive wins, this time it really made everyone pay attention, how can there be two demons in one school at the same time, how can it not be worrying.
