Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Goto Ring Match
As a subsidiary of the Donglin Empire, a top empire on the Four Seasons Continent, the Five Eastern Islands had to pay tribute every ten years. www.biquge.info In the past, because Pinglan Island was the strongest, the center of the five eastern islands of the Donglin Empire was Pinglan Island by default.
During the strongest period of Pinglan Island, what Pinglan Island did was to let the other four islands pay tribute every ten years, and Pinglan Island was sent to the Donglin Empire together. Later, for a long time after the Pingjin faction was destroyed, the five islands needed to pay tribute equally, and each island paid one-fifth.
A hundred years ago, after the defeat of Zuoxiu Island and Pinglan Island, Tangli Island, which had become the most powerful at that time, proposed that the five eastern islands hold a samurai-level tournament under the age of eighteen every ten years, and the proportion of tribute to each island was determined according to the points.
Because the five islands in the East could not bear the casualties caused by the top power fight, the final vote was passed to determine the proportion of tribute for the younger generation to fight.
There are still two years to go before the next tournament, and most of the students in this class will be exactly 18 years old. Therefore, the competition will be mainly selected from this and next students, of course, there are also a few younger students in the last year.
In the previous few ring matches, Pinglan Island's record was not ideal, and the overall ranking was fourth, only stronger than Zuo Xiudao.
The ring match is a two-by-two competition between the five islands in the order of drawing, the loser earns one point, the winner does not score points, and the final accumulation of a few points will bear a few percent of the tribute.
The result of the last tournament was that Tangli Island had zero points, Ross Island had one point, Bard Island had two points, Pinglan Island had three points, and Zuoxiu Island had four points.
That is to say, Pinglan Island only won Zuoxiu Island, and if it lost to the other three islands, it had to bear 30% of the tribute, while Tangli Island did not have to bear any tribute if it won all four battles.
Each battle is a best-of-five match, with each team playing four battles. Therefore, each island can play a maximum of 20 people, of which 5 are the main force, 15 are substitutes, and if the main force is killed or injured and affects the rematch, the substitutes will be played.
The last tournament was held on Tangli Island, and 20 people went to Pinglan Island, and a total of 14 people played, of which 6 were killed and 4 were seriously injured.
This tournament will be held on Ross Island, and due to the high casualty rate of the tournament, it is also a free entry system.
Students who want to participate in the ring competition in two years will start to sign up now, and the school will select 20 students with high current strength and potential from among the registered students, and start to focus on training, and strive to reach the level of the ninth or even tenth level of samurai in two years, and achieve better results in the ring competition as much as possible.
Director Li's words aroused great resonance, and the Pinglan people once again showed their fierce personality, and all 49 people signed up after the meeting.
I don't know what the criteria for the selection of people in the school are, and there is no competition to select people as Shi Kaijie guessed, but a month later, Shi Kaijie, Ye Wei, and Chen Yuehai all received notices asking them to report to the teaching director's office the next day as a list of twenty people in the ring competition.
At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Shi Kaijie and Ye Wei came to the office of the dean, which was the first big room they entered when they first arrived at the school.
There were a lot of people in the room, most of them were Shi Kaijie's classmates in the third grade, but there were a few who didn't know each other. What surprised Shi Kaijie the most was that Ximen Renzhao and Ouyang Xiong were also listed.
The two of them have also entered the seventh level of the samurai, and the second grade directly skips to the fourth grade? But if you think about it again, it is also understandable that as two of the four great families of Pinglan, their family must know about the ring competition, and in order for them to participate in this competition, they only need to get them a few pills to get it. And with the strength of the four great families, the pill is still very easy to afford.
After Director Li came, he directly announced a ranking: First place: Ximen Renqi, the seventh level of the earth samurai, 16 years old. Second place: Hu Dijiu, the eighth level of the earth samurai, 16 years old. Third place: Zhen Tiangang, the eighth level of the wind samurai, 16 years old. Fourth place: Ye Wei, fire warrior level 7, 15 years old. Fifth place: Chen Yuehai, the seventh level of the water samurai, 15 years old. Sixth place: Shi Kaijie, the seventh level of the wind samurai, 15 years old. Seventh place: Aquatic Relic, Seventh level of water samurai, 16 years old. ...... Nineteenth place: Ximen Renzhao, the seventh level of the earth samurai, 15 years old. Twentieth place: Ouyang Xiong, the seventh level of the water samurai, 15 years old.
Director Li emphasized that this is the combat power ranking of the 20-person squad judged by the school, and the top five enjoy the treatment of core players. The sixth to tenth places enjoy the treatment of the main players. The 11th to 14th place enjoy the treatment of the main selection player. The 15th to 20th place enjoy the treatment of substitute players.
If someone is not satisfied with the ranking, they can sign up for the challenge of the next one immediately, but if they fail the challenge, they cannot try again for at least one month. Challenge to win, and even challenge upwards one after another.
As soon as Director Li's voice fell, several students immediately signed up for the challenge. Especially the second place Hu Dijiu, as the first in the previous earth system, has always been an almost invincible existence in the same grade of the earth department, and his age is one year younger than the standard age of the same class, and now he is told that he is ranked behind the next first earth department Ximen Renqi, who is still the seventh level of the samurai, that is 10,000 dissatisfied.
Ye Wei also signed up, he and Chen Yuehaishi Kaijie have been ranked since Anlin City, and it doesn't make much sense to fight with each other, although the one in front of him is the eighth level of the samurai, but as the highest-ranked of the Anlin trio, he must challenge it.
The Ranking Challenge was held in a relatively secluded training ground behind the school's fourth-grade main building, which was actually newly built and named the professional training ground for ring players.
However, the result of the challenge was to once again show Director Li's authority, and the latter challenged the previous one and lost all. The longest is that Hu Dijiu, who persisted in 500 moves, and finally lost when his true qi was not enough. The first of the two earth systems fully shows the strength of the earth system defense, that Ximen Renzhao is simply a pervert, he can exert the combat power of a seventh-level warrior with only physical strength, and his true qi has not lost much combat power after being consumed.
Ye Wei was also defeated, but he was still quite happy, because he and the eighth-level warrior Zhentiangang also fought more than a hundred moves before he was defeated. If this is the same level, Ye Wei can definitely win the rhythm.
Next, Director Li's generosity scared the three little poor ghosts in An Lincheng.
Twenty people each were given a big ice ginseng pill, each of the top fourteen people without a treasure weapon was given a low-grade treasure weapon, the top ten people each had an S-level cheats, and each of the top five people arranged a teacher to tutor them individually.
However, Director Li stated that the Great Ice Ginseng Pill and the cheats were given by the school, and the treasures and individual tutoring were only enjoyed at a fixed level. If the level falls out of the top fourteen, the treasure will be retracted, and if the top five are dropped, the individual tutoring will be canceled. Moreover, the treasure is on temporary loan and must be returned after the game.
