Chapter VII Opening Ceremony
"Hey, Yaming, Yaming?" asked Zuo Congrong in a low voice.
"What's the matter, just say something!" In such a serious scene, Yaming obviously didn't want to lose his identity in front of his fellow students, and replied bluntly in a low voice.
"Didn't you say that it was a lottery ceremony, why did it suddenly make such a big deal!" Zuo Congrong asked in confusion as he stared at the scene of the imperial capital's martial arts arena and the crowded audience.
A day has passed since the meeting was held last night, and the team of fifty members of the Second Academy has also arrived at the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Arena as scheduled. At this time, all the participating teams of the eight academies also stood in the center of the martial arts arena after the entrance ceremony, and began to wait for the next process. Since there is only one martial arts arena in the martial arts arena, and the capacity of 100,000 people was designed at the time of design, even if the spectator seats are arranged as a three-story circular stand, the competition venue is surprisingly large. At least, the current 400-person team and the huge rostrum in the center of the arena did not cover one-tenth of the entire arena.
The participating teams of each college are lined up in five columns and ten rows, and the order of the personnel is also quite elegant, and does not follow the order of size. It may be determined according to the division of labor in the team, the order of the contestants, alternates, and support personnel in order to let people confirm the identity of the personnel at a glance. In this way, as a few contestants, it is logical to occupy the front position, the first level of Ziyuan is on the left, followed by the second level of the chief Yaming, then Lan Feng, Wang Yang, and the most Lu is the third level of the chief Zuo Congrong. In other words, at the moment, he has been muttering and muttering non-stop Zuo Congrong, and he is also a character who should support the door of the Second Academy.
"I really don't know how you have come over the road for so many years, and why you know so little about such common-sense things. The draw ceremony should be just an additional procedure, and the opening ceremony of the previous tournament will be held the day before the competition. Today is the opening ceremony, and of course there will be a lot of people in attendance. With Zuo Congrong's character, if he can't hear the answer, he will definitely not stop, even if the two of them are ridiculed by fellow students or students from other schools because of muttering at this moment, Yaming will definitely choose this method that can make Zuo Congrong separate, after all, compared to continuous restlessness, the loss may be smaller, Yamin, who knows the reality, explained helplessly.
"The opening ceremony? That's really amazing, there are only 64 people in the martial arts competition. Unexpectedly, the opening ceremony filled the venue of 100,000 people!" Hearing Yamin's answer, Zuo Congrong sighed with emotion.
"Of course, this is the charm of the imperial capital. Okay, you also shut up, this position is too conspicuous, and there are people from other academies here, settle down a little, don't discredit the academy. Seeing that the two were chatting, Lan Feng finally couldn't hold it back. The 100,000 spectators may be far away from the stadium. I didn't notice it, but the team of four hundred people was completely close to me, and there were not dozens of martial artists above the level of Enhancer, with their auditory nerves. There is a good chance that you will notice the situation here. In such a solemn scene, I actually heard the two best whispering, and anyone would be a little angry, and Lan Feng, who didn't want the two of them to continue to be embarrassed, stopped.
"That's right. But somebody has to come out and preside over the scene, we don't just have to wait, and there are so many spectators in the stands. It's pitiful to keep waiting. Zuo Congrong completely ignored Lan Feng's warning, and instead complained to Lan Feng.
Although it is somewhat inappropriate for Zuo Congrong to do this on this occasion, as Zuo Congrong said, there is nothing in the current stands except for the nine chairs placed side by side, not even a host to preside over the opening ceremony.
"Patience ......" I didn't expect that because of my words, it caused Zuo Congrong to talk, Lan Feng said a little irritably, but before his words fell, in the originally motionless venue, suddenly a momentum fluctuated, making him swallow back the words that had already reached his mouth. The strong energy was incomparable, and the high-speed moving ground air mass had reached the center of the venue in an instant, and walked straight onto the rostrum.
Before people could react, the middle-aged woman who had already arrived at the stands ignored the attitude of the crowd, raised her arms flat on her chest, quickly made a few handprints, and then knelt on the ground with her body half-kneeling, and at the same time spread her palms flat and pressed on the rostrum. I saw a blue light overflowing from under her, shining the entire martial arts arena in a pale blue, if you look at it from the relatively high position of the audience stands, you will find that at this moment, the entire rostrum, with that woman as the center, is unfolding a magic array.
The array that was constantly expanding outward seemed to have no idea what convergence was, and greedily stretched out of the rostrum, completely accommodating the hardened field around the rostrum, and finally, before expanding to the area where the participating teams were, the array stopped expanding, but what followed was a burst of more intense magic fluctuations and a slight tremor from the entire earth.
"Boom ......"
Vaguely, the entire venue was like water, and in front of everyone, the ground covered by the blue magic array seemed to come to life, slowly converging towards the rostrum, leaving a huge pit in front of the participating teams without caring about the consequences. Not only that, except for the participating teams, every land shrouded in the magic array gathered on the rostrum as everyone saw it. On the rostrum, the excessive amount of rock and earth, under the magical command of the middle-aged woman, set up four stout and richly carved pillars very regularly, and the remaining sand and gravel and soil climbed up the columns, and built a delicate canopy above the rostrum that could not only block the sun, but also not affect the perspective of the audience.
Although there is still a period of time before summer, the weather is already relatively hot for the imperial capital at about 30 degrees north latitude, coupled with the dry weather and little rain, and the scorching sun, this practice is not to blame. It's just that, more or less, it may be a little unfair to the teams that are standing and exposed to the hot sun.
"This is...... , alchemy?" Looking at the large-scale magic rising in front of him, Zuo Congrong asked softly.
"The fifth elder of the Imperial Capital Magic Regiment, alchemist - Rong Ruo!" may be more praising Zuo Congrong for actually being able to recognize the type of magic, Zi Yuan confirmed.
"What the hell is a big deal, such a shocking magic, it's actually just for shade!" didn't care about the identity of the person on the rostrum, nor did she care what kind of magic she used, but this was too simple to use, so that even Wang Yang, the only one in the row who had never spoken, couldn't help but show his meaning.
Of course, at this moment, not only the location of the Second Academy, but almost the entire martial arts arena was robbed of sight by this gorgeous magic, and the deafening support swept away the dull atmosphere before the martial arts arena. Rong Ruo only used one magic spell to completely heat up the atmosphere of the opening ceremony.
"Looks like it's going to start!"
"yes!"
"Let's be serious, it's easy to be seen if you make small movements in this position!" Shion said again. Obviously, Zuo Congrong's unruly behavior before made Ziyuan quite scruples. Although it is not too close to the rostrum, the few people who will come up on the rostrum are all among the best masters in the camp, and with their vision, this distance is really nothing, even if they can't confirm the content of the conversation from the mouth, but they can definitely see that they are making small movements.
"Oh!" Zuo Congrong replied very consciously.
......
It was only after Rong Ruo sat back in the sixth chair that everyone noticed the situation in the field. Guy's previous performance was too amazing, causing the remaining eight people to enter the low-key entrance completely unnoticed. I saw eight people strolling leisurely, just like ordinary people strolling, slowly walking into the martial arts arena, and then paved an ice road in the sunken ground and walked onto the rostrum.
"This time it's over, the limelight is all stolen by you, look at the enthusiasm of the audience, we didn't get seen by people when we entered. Li Yangfan said jokingly.
"It doesn't matter if you give it to you, you have to be in the limelight. Rong Ruo retorted calmly.
"Forget it, they're all hundreds of years old, how can they still have this kind of mind. Besides, such a gorgeous move, as a martial artist, you can't learn it!" Li Yangfan looked up at the majestic building that was built almost instantly, and said with more than enough strength.
"Alright, don't make everyone wait too long, sit down! Frankol said.
"Well, please!" said the only person on the podium who fluctuated like an ordinary person. But although the fluctuations are no different from ordinary people, the momentum is only stronger than the remaining eight masters, and the two intangible things that are completely opposite to each other are perfectly integrated into one in this person, without being obtrusive at all, and only in the power of the extreme can the temperament be cultivated, this is the most powerful symbol in the Asian camp, the emperor!
"It's ready!" As he spoke, he schematically revealed the well-hidden magic power in the air for a moment, as if the air was spreading ripples on the surface of the water, clearly turning the magic fluctuations into a ready-made physical form, reassuring the emperor that it seemed that it was the amplification magic that Rangol had prepared.
"Well, I'm glad that everyone can come to participate in the imperial capital......'s ten-year imperial capital eight courtyard martial arts performance!
