Leng Han gently touched Ye Hengyuan's right arm with his elbow and pointed to the front of the right. The team on the other side had just finished the registration process and was lining up all the way to the players' lounge. Their steps were neat and they looked like they had been trained. The petite figure in a black cloak was sandwiched between two tall men, like a bush under a large tree, barely attracting anyone's attention.

Ye Hengyuan didn't react, he just glanced over there absentmindedly, not understanding what Leng Han meant. Wang He, who was completely unaware, glanced at Leng Han with a fussy look. Whether it was the three of them or the other students, they could all feel that the people in that team were all second-order spirit masters, and none of them exceeded the third-order.

"Got it?" Jimbo nodded, "Let's go." The first team followed me and Instructor Xi, and the second team followed Instructor Li. Go to the players' lounge. Each team in the arena has its own Players' Lounge for players to warm up before and rest after the competition. ”

The two teams followed Jimbo and the two instructors into the passage to the players' lounge. The lounges for the two teams were on different floors, so they entered different passages. And the team that completed the registration after them followed behind the second team of Cangling.

Just as both teams had disappeared into the passage, a figure suddenly appeared silently in the corner of the hall.

It was a man. He was slender, tall but not big, as thin as a bamboo pole. He had a turban wrapped around his head, a mask on his face, a robe as wide as a sack, and a cloak tied around his back. His whole body of clothing, from head to toe, was a light gray, and several parts of it were white, which looked like the color of old clothes that had been worn for a long time and washed many times.

His mask just covered the lower half of his face. In his gray pupils, which had a little bit of blue, two strange lights flashed. It stands to reason that the sudden appearance of a strangely dressed person like him in the hall should attract a lot of attention. But none of the people who came and went around him noticed him, and not even one of them looked at him.

He looked up and glanced at each of the two passages that the two teams had entered. His left hand reached out from under the wide sleeve of his robe, and a few fingers moved in an irregular motion. If anyone notices him, they will be able to see that his hands are very rough, with several obvious calluses on the skin surface of the back of his hands, and even two signs of wear.

Just a few seconds later, he suddenly disappeared again. It's like he appeared out of nowhere.

Jimbo led the Cangling team into their exclusive lounge. The main venue of the Hongde Arena is layered from the inside to the outside, the outer layer is the registration area and other various service areas, the middle layer is the rest area for the players, and the inner layer is the arena and the audience seats. The three floors are all connected by stairs and passages, and the spectators who come to watch the game go directly from the outer level to the inner level, even the wealthy who have bought expensive VIP box tickets. Without official permission, no non-participants other than the instructors of the teams from the Spirit Master Academy or sect are allowed to enter the players' rest area and arena.

As soon as everyone entered the lounge, they found chairs and sat down. The instructor who followed Jimbo picked up a manual that was placed in the room and explained it briefly.

"In all the Spirit Master Arenas in the Cangling Kingdom, there are three main forms of battle, which are single battles, double battles, and team battles. For a good team, there are also two different forms of battle, which are individual and team battles. ”

"The solo battle is a one-on-one battle, and the principle is the same as that of the students in the academy, but it is more intense. ”

"A two-on-two battle is a two-on-two battle, where every two players form a combination, and the two combinations play against each other. ”

"Team battles are battles of more than three people, and the principle is similar to two-player battles. The maximum number of people in a team battle depends on the cultivation level of the person with the highest cultivation in the team. If the person with the highest cultivation level is the second order, the number of people is three. And so on, the third order is four, the fourth is five, and the fifth is six. ”

"Individual confrontation refers to the confrontation between free spirit masters who do not have a team and participate in fighting skills alone. Sometimes, the Arena officials will also arrange for members of a team that does not have a team to fight against the Free Spirit. Points earned in this match go to the individual only, not to the team. ”

"Team confrontation refers to the confrontation between teams. Each team can only play one team battle in a day. The form of confrontation is arranged by the official Arena to choose one of the above three battle methods and arrange it for the two teams that meet each other. In team battles, team battles are a one-match battle, while solo and two-player battles are wheel battles. After a player on one side wins a game, they can continue to fight until they can no longer continue the game. When the entire team of one side is knocked out, the other side wins. Whether it is the team as a whole or each member of the team, they will earn battle points. ”

"The conditions for victory are as follows: the opponent concedes defeat, the opponent cannot be knocked out after 10 seconds, the opponent is knocked out of the field and the opponent is grounded, the referee decides that the opponent cannot continue the fight, and the referee or staff finds that the opponent is cheating. ”

Speaking of this, Instructor Xi suddenly closed the manual and made a "pop" sound. Except for the cold cold, all the students raised their heads.

"You also have to remember that in the territory of the Cangling Kingdom, all the Spirit Master Fighting Arenas have two iron rules. First, during the game, without the permission of the referee, no one from the field is allowed to go on stage, let alone attack opponents or help teammates from the audience. No matter what happens, even if the player is in danger, he must first get the consent of the referee before he can go on stage. ”

"Second, in the competition, except for a pure auxiliary spirit master who has no attack power at all, he or she can use at most one weapon provided by the official arena, and no player can use any foreign objects other than his own martial spirit, including but not limited to various weapons, all kinds of armor or accessories with protective abilities and improving their own abilities, food, medicine, and various auxiliary equipment. If some of the players have these items on them, they must be removed and stored in a locker in the players' lounge before they go on stage to play. If the referee catches a foreign object outside the scope of the use permit, it will be regarded as cheating. ”

Ye Hengyuan stretched out his hand and touched his chest. Ever since he bought the armor at the Treasure Fair, he'd been wearing it on his body, every day, only taking it off when he was bathing and sleeping. As one's cultivation improves little by little, so does its effect on increasing one's physical strength. Although it is only a slight increase, it at least has a positive effect on yourself. Most importantly, this facilitation did not reach the point where he depended. Qiu Bai once told him that cultivation should not rely too much on external objects, even if it was a foreign object that was completely in the nature of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan like the exclusive cultivation stone. The greatest obstacle and the greatest enemy in the heart of every man is himself, not any other person or thing.

Jimbo reached out and pointed to the rows of chimney-shaped cubicles on the left and right sides of the break room. The space in the lounge was large, about the size of a normal classroom in the Cangling Academy. The two rows of cubicles were connected and were covered only by an iron door and a lock. Each compartment is less than ten square meters in size. The iron gate has a numerical number on it.

"Instructor Xi, please send them the keys to the new team members. Here, each contestant has two keys that are their own, one for the locker and one for the locker. The locker rooms and lockers are only responsible for providing a place for students to remove and store all kinds of foreign objects they are carrying. The row next to the door is for male students, and the other row is for female students. Fifteen minutes later, we're going to the arena to prepare for today's solo team showdown. ”

Ye Hengyuan and the others took the key handed over by Instructor Xi one after another, found their locker room according to the number on it, and began to remove the foreign objects on their bodies. Several other students also entered their locker rooms. Only two people sat in their seats and did not move, one was Lei Xi and the other was Tian Zhuang.

After taking off the wind armor, Ye Hengyuan took off the jade pendant he wore on his chest. He thought about it for a moment, gently rubbed it with his fingers a few times, and removed it and put it in the locker.

Three minutes later, everyone came out of the locker room and gathered around Jimbo again.

"In a solo team competition, you need at least five people to participate," Jimbo said, "and today in order to let the new students get used to it, the opportunity will be given to a few new students. I'll arrange who will be on later. In my absence, the instructor will arrange for the group. Do you all understand?"

"Understood!"

"Understood. ”

Except for Leng Han, the voices of the others who answered were all loud.

Lei Xi glanced at Ye Hengyuan, and there seemed to be something more in his eyes.

"Let's go," Jimbo turned, "the time is coming soon." ”

The students followed closely behind Jimbo and Instructor Xi, left the lounge, and walked down the aisle towards the arena.

Lei Xi deliberately took a step slower, followed Tian Zhuang's huge body, and just stood behind Ye Hengyuan and Leng Han, and whispered a word.

"Don't be nervous. ”

No one could tell who she was talking to. From the tone, it sounded a bit like talking to myself.

When all the students disappeared into the passageway, another figure flashed by the door of the lounge. In just an instant, it was gone again
