Chapter 15: The Second Estate

There are no rest days on the schedule of the imperial capital competition, after all, not everyone will be so bored that they want to watch every game in person, and no one will be so bored that they will watch every game without landing on the ground. For ordinary people, this is just a spice in life, and for the contestants, there will be no two consecutive days of playing. Therefore, it is reasonable to have such a schedule of martial arts competitions without rest days, but for Zuo Congrong and a few people, after watching the third-level martial arts competition completely, they didn't even have a chance to breathe, and after the third-level martial arts competition ended yesterday, they ushered in the second-level competition in such a hurry.

"You two are okay, right?" In the backstage of the ordinary people who were forbidden to enter the mainland dueling arena, Zuo Congrong looked at the two people who were already ready to go, and asked.

"No problem, what's wrong?" Lan Feng asked with some confusion.

"That, it stands to reason that the contestants should have plenty of rest time before the game, we went back so late that we didn't even have time to rest before the game, is it really okay for the two of you?" Zuo Congrong asked with some embarrassment. Yesterday because of Ying's reasons, there was plenty of time in the event of an emergency yesterday, all the itinerary has been greatly affected, while canceling a lot of activities, but also reducing the original planning of a lot of time, even so, the time is still a lot of hurry, the rest time is a little later than the idle days of watching the competition a few days ago, which should have some impact on the two people who participated today.

"I said you underestimate us too much, no matter how I can say it, I can still be a second-level contestant, besides, this competition is not a battle to fight for strength, and even the armed battle will not be opened, just what can be affected by yesterday's incident. Alright, you should hurry up and gather at their side, the first one is about to begin. "Seeing that Zuo Congrong is a little indelible. Jamin graciously forgives.

"By the way, I almost forgot if you didn't say it, I think it's better for you two to not let go too much after you two play, at least get armed. The emotions of the audience are very excited, and if they fight perfunctorily, probably the audience will not give up, so it is probably not easy for the judges to deal with it. Probably the dean also told you that this imperial capital competition is a battle for the reputation of the second academy to win back the scene, even if the dean has the ability to suppress this matter later, the reputation of the second academy will probably be even worse. In this case, the cart is turned upside down. Zuo Congrong admonished.

On the first day of the draw, the countermeasures had been discussed, but a few people who had never participated in the imperial capital competition could not know the situation at the scene. Only after participating in the competition can we learn some information, when Zuo Congrong just used a pistol as a weapon to win the competition, he was thrown garbage and abused by the audience almost full. If there were unarmed battles in the middle of second-tier battles, the spectators would probably really run down the stands to make trouble.

"It shouldn't be so serious, right?" Lan Feng asked in disbelief when he heard what Zuo Congrong said so mysteriously.

"It's not like you haven't watched my competition, I didn't even have the joy of victory when I was scolded by that group of spectators, obviously the opponent is so powerful! Don't talk about me, maybe you haven't stood in the dueling arena, you can't feel that kind of pressure, you two should listen to me. If something really happens, you probably won't be able to hang up with the children of the family who want to save face, right?" Zuo Congrong stared at the two of them with bad intentions.

"Alright. We know what to do, let's talk about it then, and you can go to them as well. The view of that place is much better than here, and the first tournament should be over. Yamin chimed in.

"You two pay attention, then I'm leaving!" Zuo Congrong said again, and left from the backstage.

"Or just do what Aaron said, and use the arms to fight it out, and to be honest, I don't really like this kind of cheating. After Zuo Congrong left, Yaming suggested to Lan Feng.

"It's okay, it's a shame to die without even doing my best, but my decision won't change, and you will win in the end, I don't want others to see my armament. Lan Feng also agreed to Yamin's suggestion with some itching, but he still stubbornly demanded that Yaming win about the result.

......

"How is it, the two of them are not in good shape, right?" The first competition of the second level has entered the white-hot stage, and Mingzhu and Yayue are also all focused on this competition as the battle progresses, and they don't notice Zuo Congrong's appearance at all, and only Shenwei, who has no interest in this competition, sees Zuo Congrong coming back, and talks to him boringly.

"It's okay, it's said that there is nothing wrong with the two of them, the pre-game state adjustment is just to bring them back to a more perfect state, and it won't have much effect, just a little less rest, what can be the problem. Zuo Congrong said lightly.

"It's true, no matter how you say it, both of them are also enhancers, their nerves are not so fragile, and it is still a battle between the two of them, so you don't have to do your best, and it doesn't matter if you're in perfect condition or not. Seeing Zuo Congrong's thick lines, Shenwei probably knew the situation of the two of them, and echoed.

"No, that...... , I have suggested that the two of them start arming. Zuo Congrong corrected a little unnaturally.

"What, why do you want them to turn on their arms?" asked Kamio, somewhat incomprehensible, for that was not the case with the original decision. Although the competition is determined by random drawing, after the second round, everyone's numbers will definitely be exposed, so that those who are interested will calculate the opponent of the next round through the schedule, and then prepare for the pre-game work in a targeted manner. It was also based on this consideration that several people decided to use an unarmed battle to complete the encounter of the same academy, and hide their armed ability until the second round of the 12-6 competition.

"I can't help it, you also saw my competition, and I was scolded by the audience, if it goes on like this, even if the third-level competition wins the championship, it may not be able to leave a good impression on people, no matter how they say it, they are both children of the family, although they belong to the same academy, no one has the right to say anything about the competition, but the audience will not care about these, when this disgraceful battle is preached, the two of them who want to save face will probably be ashamed to see people. Zuo Congrong said helplessly.

"I didn't see it, I didn't expect you to be very thoughtful. Kamio said in surprise.

"The first few words are too redundant!" Zuo Congrong corrected seriously.

"yes, yes, yes, it looks like it's almost over. Shenwei, who was perfunctory Zuo Congrong, inadvertently glanced at the situation in the dueling arena and said.

"In the end, it is a second-level competition, which is much stronger than the first level, at least just by looking at the battle time. Zuo Congrong said as if he was complimenting.

Indeed, the first-level and second-level players are all martial artists without exception, and those who can just embody the ability to arm their weapons really have no way to fight except for hard fighting, so there are many battle scenes similar to Jiang Xue and Yu Teng. That kind of high-frequency, fast-paced combat method, even if it is a strong person, probably can't last too long, and the battle at the level of the capable person is even more conceivable, although the four martial arts duels every day are a bit tight in terms of time arrangement, but except for Zuo Congrong and An Xu, there is no battle of more than one hour at the third level.

In fact, the battle between Zuo Congrong and An Xu has far exceeded the average time taken by the third rank, and there are only three of the sixteen duels that last more than half an hour. And now, the first battle of the second rank, by the time the signs of victory and defeat appeared, had already taken more than an hour.

"Yes, but although it is more interesting than the third-level competition, it takes too long and makes people a little boring. Kamio echoed with the same feelings.

"In this situation, the timing of the second level may be a little unreasonable, the first game is only two hours, if there are two people with relatively average strength fighting, it is easy to exceed the specified time when the stalemate is reached, and the start time of the second game is eleven o'clock, which is easy to exceed the lunch time, and people have to go hungry to watch the third game. Zuo Congrong said as if he had discovered a new continent.

Although the first round of the second division is three times a day, the schedule is no different from that of the third level, except that the five o'clock in the afternoon will be cancelled. As Zuo Congrong said, there are 12 competitions in the first round of the second level, and according to the current time allocation of the first game, there is indeed a possibility that the first competition will exceed the specified time every day, and the second lunch time will almost be absolutely delayed.

"How can it be so serious as you say, do you think everyone here will finish all three of today's games, not everyone will be bored enough to come here and watch every game like us. If school wasn't boring, I wouldn't have been willing to come here. There is no way to do this, after all, the schedule is limited, only 33 days, and the time is so rushed. I said, you don't just worry about lunch, do you?" asked Kamio suspiciously.

"Where do you want to go, am I so gluttonous? I just think it's a little curious that such an event as a big battle in the imperial capital would still have such a situation. I really can't figure it out, wouldn't it be nice to extend the time a little bit, so as to get this situation. After Zuo Congrong defended and played, he complained. (To be continued......)
