Chapter 22 Recruitment
The Northern Wasteland Talent Competition is the prosperity of the original forces of the Northern Wasteland, and the six giant sects that have branches in the Northern Wasteland do not take this kind of competitive competition seriously, and only occasionally send some second-rate players to participate, but in most cases, they basically do not participate in it.
However, this year's Northern Wilderness Talent Competition attracted the participation of the six giant sect forces, and they all chose to send disciples whose strength had reached the top level to participate, which made the people of the various indigenous forces in the Northern Wilderness feel very surprised, but most people actually knew very well in their hearts that their participation was not to compete for the final championship place, nor to make a name for themselves, just to deal with such a wonderful boy as Duanmu Yu.
As for the various forces that came in against him, although Duanmu Yu did not do any investigation work on the surface, in fact, he spent a lot of money to obtain the current overall strength and purpose of each participating force from merchants who specialized in selling intelligence information, and even made it clear who some of the forces that were closer to the Heavenly Ninja Sect and what the strength of the cultivation was.
Entering the central square area with 32 knockout rings, Duanmu Yu tried his best to avoid everyone's attention, and quickly went to the bulletin board with the list of contestants to look up his name to see which group he was assigned to for the knockout round.
Soon, Duanmu Yu found his name in the thirty-second group, and then went straight to the thirty-second ring.
The ring is like a pyramid, a total of ten floors, the higher up, the shorter the distance of the steps, the number of people that can be accommodated is also very limited, and the rules of the knockout round are also very simple, and finally stand in the ring, and no one dares to participate in the competition after the only person left, is the promotion.
In the process of participating in the knockout round, it is not forbidden for contestants to use any treasures, blades, elixirs, and even large tonic elixirs that can improve their combat power in a short period of time.
It's just that the Great Tonic Elixir that can temporarily increase combat effectiveness is very expensive, and no one will use it easily.
"There are as many as 3,000 people in each group participating in the knockout round, and among these 3,000 people, only one person is the final promoter. This grouping, it seems that someone deliberately arranged, and even the vast majority of the contestants in the various forces who intended to deal with me were still in the thirty-second group, and they did this, I am afraid that they want to use this group of people to launch a group siege against me first, one is to test my true details, and the other is to try to hit me hard with the advantage of numbers, and then their people will be easier to kill me in the next game. Your wishful thinking is really good!" Before arriving at the No. 32 ring, Duanmu Yu's eyes swept over most of the contestants surrounding the ring, but found that the eyes of these people were all thrown at him at this moment, their eyes were full of hostility, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Duanmu Yu retracted his gaze, ignored the existence of everyone, and stood there peacefully, patiently waiting for the official start of the knockout round.
While......
Wait about a quarter of an hour for the bell to ring for the official start of the playoffs.
At the moment when the bell rang, the other contestants on the side of the ring immediately took action, and they all used their best to rush to the bottom of the ring, and then carefully climbed up, while only a few of the contestants on the side of the ring No. 32 rushed to the bottom of the steps, and most of the others were patiently watching and waiting.
People with a little brains can see at a glance that most of them are waiting for Duanmu Yu to appear, and then rush up the steps with all their might, and launch a joint attack on Duanmu Yu who stepped on the steps of the ring.
Most of the people who were watching the knockout round from a distance shook their heads lightly at this moment, and they couldn't help but feel sympathy for Duanmu Yu's experience, but they didn't dare to say anything, because they knew very well in their hearts that the event arrangers of the Goshawk Empire dared to do this, then there must be the giant forces behind them that even Haotianmen didn't dare to fight with easily.
Many people who were dissatisfied with the Goshawk Empire's event arrangers did this, but at this moment, they hoped that Duanmu Yu could see the situation in front of him clearly and give up participating, then all the layouts that these people had done against him would be in vain.
The people of all the forces who intended to engage in vertical and horizontal cooperation in the talent competition and kill Duanmu Yu in the ring were full of smiles on their faces at the moment, as if Duanmu Yu's end was doomed, no matter how capable he was, he could not escape their calculations, and there was only one death.
Duanmu Yu is not a fool, so he can naturally understand the danger of being involved.
But at this moment, he didn't hesitate, didn't bother to pay attention to what preparations had been made against him, and rushed out directly and stepped onto the bottom of the ring.
At the moment when Duanmu Yu stepped on the bottom of the ring, the guys who were closer to him and had already prepared for it used their secret killing techniques one after another, turning into a thousand strange attack forces, overwhelming, and rushing towards Duanmu Yu.
The secret technique of killing these guys is extremely limited, and they can't even break Duanmu Yu's physical defense.
Even so, Duanmu Yu didn't dare to be careless, and at the moment when a large amount of secret attack power touched his body, he immediately used the power of devouring the treasure gourd, devouring all the power that touched his body, and accumulating it for future cultivation and refining.
Duanmu Yu's movements were extremely careful, and while devouring those attack forces, he also secretly performed a camouflage secret technique, observing from a distance, he thought that Duanmu Yu relied on his own strong resistance to directly disperse all the secret magic forces that attacked his body, turning into wisps of power shock ripples that spread and disappeared.
The guy who launched an attack on Duanmu Yu saw the scene in front of him, his heart was completely shocked, and he realized that with their little bit of attack power, he could not pose any threat to Duanmu Yu at all, and immediately understood in his heart how big the gap between them and Duanmu Yu was, and even regretted a little, he should not have participated in dealing with Duanmu Yu, and made such a terrifying enemy for himself.
The first wave of everyone's attacks, Duanmu Yu easily defused.
When the second wave of people planned to take advantage of Duanmu Yu to dissolve all the power and launch a crazy attack on him before they could breathe, they found that the target of the attack they had locked had gradually disappeared from the place, and when they could see Duanmu Yu's figure clearly, the first wave of people who launched an attack on Duanmu Yu burst out one after another, turning into a puff of blood mist and dissipating into the air, leaving no bones behind.
In fact, the scene that everyone saw was just a camouflage secret technique performed by Duanmu Yu.
The flesh and blood of those who were attacked had already been taken into the Devouring Treasure Gourd space by Duanmu Yu with the power of Devouring Treasure Hurd, and turned into a part of the accumulated power of Devouring Treasure Hurdle.
"His speed is so amazing, I'm afraid that even Ji Xiaoxian, Dragon Dance and others can barely compete with him, we are fighting with him, we can't even lock his figure at all, we are going to lose, such a battle, we don't have a chance of winning at all!" The terrifying scene created by Duanmu Yu's first round of shots almost stunned all the people who intended to attack him, and they all secretly exclaimed in their hearts, and then most of them chose to retreat quickly at the first time, away from Duanmu Yu, away from the ring, for fear that because they were close to Duanmu Yu, they would be poisoned by him.
"I have long expected that you will attack everyone with the skill of body speed, so before the start of the knockout round, I was also prepared, and spent a lot of money to buy a 'sluggish spirit rune' to deal with you, when you lose the speed advantage, I want to see what you use to fight me. When Duanmu Yu's ruthless methods frightened most people, a young man who stepped into the ring one step before Duanmu Yu stepped into the ring, and a young man standing in a higher position shouted at Duanmu Yu, and then raised his hand to sacrifice a spirit rune that bloomed with blue light and flew towards Duanmu Yu.
The sluggish spirit rune instantly touched Duanmu Yu's body, and then everyone saw a strong mist qi quickly centered on the place it touched, spreading to Duanmu Yu's body.
However, in the blink of an eye, Duanmu Yu's entire body was directly covered by the power of ice crystals that emitted a trace of blue light.
"Haha...... You've been tricked, now it's certain death, let's die!" The guy who threw out the sluggish spirit rune laughed proudly, and then flashed out, reaching a meter in front of Duanmu Yu, and took out a sword with a faint blue glow, and without hesitation, a sword stabbed Duanmu Yu's heart.
"Is this the end of Duanmu Yu? I thought he would be able to go further, but I didn't expect that the ending would be like this, all this came too quickly, right?" At this moment, most people cast sympathetic glances at Duanmu Yu, who had been hit by the power of the sluggish spirit rune.
"Hey...... It was a great accident that his life was ended by such an inconspicuous little guy! If he died like this, the old guy of the ghost shadow would only be in a hurry by blowing his beard and staring. Those guys who wanted to put Duanmu Yu to death, who were originally uneasy because Duanmu Yu killed more than a dozen people in an instant, immediately became in a happy mood, but they didn't stand up and applaud the guy who raised his sword and stabbed Duanmu Yu's heart.
