Chapter Twenty-Six: The Freedom Arena
Early in the morning, Dimen Academy was particularly lively, and the rookie king competition began, which was a major event of Dimen Academy, and many people had already gathered in the martial arts arena, including many high-level personnel from Xuanhe Tower.
On the main platform, the first layer of the master Du Man and his subordinate cadres Ding Yuan and Porcupine sat side by side, these three people are the strongest combat power of the first layer, and the strange thing is that one of the four major cadres did not appear on the stage.
"Today's competition is to test the new blood of my Dimen Academy, and it is also to find out who is most worthy of our efforts to cultivate, and prepare for the successor of the first layer of rulers in the future, so you don't have to be polite, please show your strength to the fullest, and fight until one side admits defeat or loses consciousness, and the battle can be over. Du Man said with a red face.
"What happens if you kill the other person by mistake?" the white wolf asked suddenly.
Du Man glanced at the white wolf, thoughtful in his heart, as if he had expected the white wolf to ask this question, "Since we ask everyone to show their strength without reservation, then accidental death is an inevitable thing, as long as it is not when the other party has already admitted defeat or de-consciousness, and deliberately kills the other party, the Dimen Academy will take this responsibility for you, and will never hold you accountable." ”
When the white wolf heard this, a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Hearing Du Man's words, some people who were originally full of enthusiasm and were about to let go of their hands and feet began to worry. On the surface, it seems that if you are defeated, you can admit defeat, but on the battlefield, the difference between victory and defeat is often between a palm and a fist, and life and death are also between a thought.
If there is no middleman to referee, the two sides of the duel will admit defeat on their own, and it is very likely that there will be many duels in which the winner is determined after death.
In addition, in this kind of duel of life and death, it often becomes a life-and-death battle in the end, and most of the spirit masters are arrogant, and they embark on the road of penance just to get ahead and be superior, so they attach great importance to the duel, and they refuse to admit defeat even if they die in battle.
This kind of rule of life and death is impossible for an orthodox school like Tianmen Academy, but it is not surprising that there is such a rule in a notorious place like the Earth Gate.
There are some people who originally just had the mentality of "focusing on participation", but at this time they are already trembling and want to quit.
"I see. The porcupine secretly praised, he knew that this was Du Man and Ding Yuan's strategy, remembering that the last time he participated in the Rookie King Competition, there was no life and death regardless of this rule, Du Man and Ding Yuan specially added this article this time, which is obviously tailored for the white wolf and Ye Yan, they know that once these two people fight, it is impossible for either side to admit defeat, it must be a duel between you and me, and then they can reap the benefits of the fisherman.
In the last rookie king competition, there were more than 100 people participating, and the number of people in this session was directly halved to only fifty-one people, mainly because the prestige of the white wolf and Ye Yan was too big, one just entered the academy and knocked down the butcher with one punch, and the other directly killed the butcher and accepted his power. This makes those newcomers in the same period have the confidence to participate in this competition, if the rules of life and death are announced earlier, I am afraid that the only people who dare to participate in the end this time are White Wolf and Ye Yan.
Fifty people were already standing in the center of the martial arts arena, Du Man glanced at it, and his face became not very good-looking. He put his head close to Ding Yuan's ear and said, "Why hasn't that kid Ye Yan come yet?"
Ding Yuan hurriedly looked at the fifty people carefully, but he really didn't see Ye Yan, and he was also anxious, "It's weird, how could he not come?"
"Didn't you say that he would definitely come when the letter was sent?" Du Man's tone was aggravated, a little reproachful.
Ding Yuan wiped a cold sweat, "Ye Yan is a person who is righteous, attaches importance to friends, and attaches great importance to face, knowing that the white wolf provoked him so much, and beat his friends like that, it is impossible for him not to come to take revenge, unless his injuries are really serious, I heard that he entered the Valley of the Wind, and was able to enter the Valley of the Wind and come out again, I estimate that he will be crippled if he is not dead." ”
"That's it. Du Man shook his hand and said, "Since Ye Yan himself is abolished, then we only need to dispose of the white wolf next, and the result will be the same." ”
Du Man glanced at the two rows of subordinates and motioned for them to beat the drums, and as soon as the war drums sounded, it meant that the duel was about to begin, and the scene immediately boiled, and the hearts of both the contestants and the audience were all burning.
Ding Yuan stood up, took a step forward, cleared his throat and said, "Before the duel officially begins, please allow me to introduce the first round of the duel. Although only half of the participants in this year's tournament are from the previous edition, we still want to continue the tradition of the rookie king fighting tournament, and adopt a 'free arena' method in the first round of the duel, where everyone fights freely in the martial arts arena, and after a stick of incense, those who still maintain self-awareness and do not admit defeat can advance to the second round. ”
The reason for the use of 'Free Arena' in the first round of the duel is that in previous tournaments, there were too many participants, and if it was too long to catch the duel in groups, the 'Free Arena' was able to significantly reduce the number of participants in the first round of the duel. But this year, the number of participants is only half of the previous year, and even if they are grouped, there are only 25 groups, so there is no need to continue to use the 'free arena', the reason why Du Man and Ding Yuan did this is actually for another purpose.
Du Man also stood up, holding a brocade box in his hand, he opened the brocade box, and then raised one of the silver wings inside high above his head, and the silver wings emitted a faint light.
Except for Ding Yuan's porcupine, everyone at the scene immediately knelt down when they saw this Silver Wing. Just because this is a token of the nine-layer master of the Emperor of Xuanhe Tower, seeing this token is like seeing the emperor himself.
Only one person did not kneel, and the white wolf still stood with his chest held high, his eyes empty.
"White wolf Yang Yimu, you are really presumptuous, you don't kneel down when you see Silver Wing. Ding Yuan waved his finger and scolded angrily.
The white wolf turned his head disdainfully, not even looking at Ding Yuan, "In this world, only others kneel to me White Wolf, without me kneeling to others, let alone the Emperor of Xuanhelou, even if the emperor of the entire Wancheng Empire stands in front of me, I will not bow my head to him." ”
Many people are not convinced by the white wolf in their hearts, but they also have to sigh at his madness, there have been many madmen in Dimen Academy, but there has never been such a madman. But on the other hand, thinking about it, the white wolf's madness is also a manifestation of ignorance and stupidity, even if he is stronger, stronger than Ding Yuan, Du Man and others, it is impossible to compete with those monsters on the ninth floor of the Xuanhe Tower, if those monsters want to trouble him, the white wolf is not enough to die even if ten lives are not enough.
"It's worthy of being the heir of that family, it's crazy enough! It's just ......" The porcupine, who had been sitting in the chair at this time, finally stood up, "There is also a limit to madness, this time you have gone too far, if you don't stop you now, you will suffer in the future." ”
"Is the porcupine finally going to make a move?" someone in the crowd whispered, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.
The last rookie king is the most promising person to become the rookie king of this year, and this kind of duel is something that everyone is very willing to see, and people's mood has become very excited.
The white wolf sneered slightly, moved his hands and feet, and prepared for the battle. The porcupine took the initiative to make a move, and in the absence of Ye Yan, he had no interest in these people who were in the martial arts arena with him at all, and the opponents he wanted the most were Du Man, Ding Yuan, and Porcupine standing on the high platform.
Suddenly, Ding Yuan stood in front of the porcupine and shook his head at him.
The porcupine was stunned, but he didn't expect that Ding Yuan, who was usually the most impulsive, stopped him very calmly at this time.
"Let him go, porcupine. Du Man said, "It's just that there are such newcomers, and the underground gate will be more interesting, isn't it?"
Since even Du Man had spoken, the porcupine had no choice but to sit down.
Seeing that the porcupine stopped, the white wolf looked disappointed and sneered disdainfully.
Du Man raised his silver wings and shouted: "I announce in the name of the Emperor of Xuanhelou that this rookie king competition has officially begun. ”
As soon as Du Man's words fell, a scream came from the crowd, and a person was pierced through the back by the claws of the white wolf, blood sprayed wildly, and he died on his knees.
Such a cruel method caused an uproar among the masses, and some newcomers who were still unaware of the wait-and-see mentality immediately panicked, and the white wolf couldn't wait to start the killing, and this so-called 'freedom arena' was afraid that it would become a one-sided slaughter by the white wolf.
This move by the white wolf really reminded these stupid newcomers that the battle had begun. The newcomers reacted one after another, so they all picked the people next to them as opponents to fight, at first they were just testing the strength of the other party, and because they had no grievances in their lives, they didn't make a heavy hand and showed their true skills.
Screams kept coming, blood splattered, and they fell to the ground. The white wolf's whole body was sprinkled with human blood, his eyes turned bloodthirsty red, and he had killed ten people in a row in the blink of an eye.
Everyone stopped, and then they realized that there was only one opponent in this 'free arena', and that was the wolf.
