Chapter 82: The List Is Unexpected
Dianjiangtai is close to the Taiyuan, not far away, and if you start from the Taiyuan, you can reach it in a few moments.
But if you get there from somewhere else, unless you get up in the dark before dawn and start walking, you will have to work hard to get to the crowded Dianjiangtai through the normal way.
The kendo competition is the main event of this competition, so each school will have three places to participate, generally except for some small families and small sects may emerge geniuses, in fact, most of the places are still occupied by the children of the seven top forces.
So there is a difference in this, that is, the swordsmanship skills that the children of the commoners or the children of the poor are not as good as those top forces, even if they participate, except for the occasional flash in the pan of a few special geniuses, this kind of competition will most likely be covered by the children of those top forces, in this way, this sword boy competition will also become a competition between those top forces, and there is nothing to do with the children of the common people.
The purpose of the Sword Boy Contest has always been to select talents, and in the midst of this disagreement, the kendo competition distinguishes the children of these top forces from the children of the common people.
The children of the top forces can participate in the competition, but they can only compete on behalf of the family or sect forces, even if they are in different sects and schools, the final result of the competition can only be regarded as a normal competition between the family and the sect forces, and it is just a matter of gaining honor and popularity for the family or sect forces, after all, these people are already people from the major forces, and it is impossible to recruit them, so their competition is completely different from the competition between the children of ordinary people.
The vast majority of forces are most interested in the competition of the teenagers who are not the seven major forces, those talents are the key targets of recruitment, and the scores that the sect schools want to fight for are also generated here, and the points generated by the competition between the family and the children of the sect are just like those auxiliary competitions, and the leader will win five points for the school at most.
The three kendo competition places in Tianlu Academy this time are mainly based on Nie Lin, and the other two are actually just foils, but there is a young Wuying King, who can fight for more points for the academy, and Lu Zhaonan is naturally happy.
However, the third place is definitely something that everyone didn't expect, before that, Liu Yichen and Tang Xuchang had always been competing for this place, but in the end they didn't win this place, when they were in Tianlu Academy, many people didn't understand why the third place was vacant and no one filled it.
Even Nie Lin didn't know, but he didn't ask.
And until today, when Nie Lin came to the Taiyuan and got the list from Lu Zhaonan, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this third person was actually Lu Xueyan.
Lu Xueyan seems to have known about this for a long time, she is wearing a short shirt today, faintly revealing her perfect figure, plus he is wearing a small snow hat and stepping on small boots, the momentum has changed, more like a heroic chivalrous woman, quite eye-catching, just following Nie Lin in the courtyard for a short while, it attracted the eyes of all the teenagers who were ready to participate in the past, and became a beautiful scenery.
Nie Lin caught a glimpse of Lu Xueyan's face with a charming smile, and his expression seemed to be a little excited, and then looked at Lu Zhaonan's meaningful smile on his beard, and he understood in an instant, for the sake of Tianlu Academy, this is probably also a strategy arranged by Lu Zhaonan, the beauty offensive.
Lu Xueyan's alluring posture really can't be ignored, that is, when Nie Lin first saw him, he would be attracted and lose his mind for a while, not to mention those other teenagers who lack heart and concentration, if they are on the competition field, this breath can be used as Lu Xueyan's winning bargaining chip.
The competition of the kendo competition is said to be six days, the first is the group knockout round, the top 24 will be born, the second is the promotion round to select the top eight, and then the top six of the university will be combined for a replacement match to determine the final final place, the third is the regular season finals, the fourth is the qualification challenge that anyone can participate in except for the age limit, the fifth is to determine the list of the top 12 challengers of the challenge, and the sixth is the challenge finals of the challenge.
In fact, according to Nie Lin's thoughts, he thinks that it is completely okay to use one day in the regular season, and it will take three days, which is a pure waste of time, but he knows that the holding of this kind of event is also a means to stimulate consumption and increase taxes.
Wu Ying Wang Fang An's childhood competition was not with Nie Lin, it was in another venue, and the draw was not in one place, so Nie Lin just submitted the list with Lu Xueyan, and when he drew lots, he drew a green No. 3 brand, and Lu Xueyan smoked Red No. 16.
After handing over the number to the two ceremonial officials in charge of registration, the ceremonial officer verified the identity card again, and saw that Nie Lin was still a fifth-level swordsman, and couldn't help but be a little strange, he had registered so many contestants, and Nie Lin was at the bottom, not even as good as Lu Xueyan next to him, and I am afraid that he would be eliminated at the earliest.
However, the ceremonial officer did not show anything unusual, he deeply understood the sentence "Don't bully the young man and be poor", and patiently explained the rules of the game for the two, and said: "The swords used in this regular event are ordinary quality fine iron swords, unified specifications, and they are not allowed to use their own swords. Blue three games, your opponent drew the same number as the number in your hand, the game will be in the order of the number of a round, this game takes turns a round, and then the number crosses a game, the final game to decide the three twenty-four promotion list, to participate in the event of tomorrow, the specific rules of the game, to the venue has its own responsible for the venue of the ceremonial officer to explain to you in detail, you can doubt?"
"No!" After Lu Xueyan and Nie Lin replied in unison, the ceremonial officer asked a few guards to lead a few people from this round of lottery to the arena.
Nie Lin and Lu Xueyan are not the same competition venue, when they were led into the arena by the guards, they parted ways, and when they were leaving, Lu Xueyan suddenly shook his small fist at Nie Lin and said, "Come on!"
Nie Lin smiled faintly and walked to the green flag marked competition venue where he was.
When Nie Lin came to the competition venue through the special passage, outside the surrounding fence, the audience was almost crowded, and he was surrounded by water, he glanced at the Jujiangtai in the distance, and saw that the members of the royal family had not yet arrived, and the important ministers of the court had already taken their seats one after another, talking about each other.
There is a lot of space around the arena for competitors, and some people practice on the spot.
After Nie Lin handed over the brand to the ceremonial officer for registration, the two guards next to him gave him a fine iron sword, he just weighed the weight of this sword, and after weighing the degree to which this sword could withstand his sword qi, he secretly shook his head in his heart, if he bloomed forty percent of the sword qi, this sword would be shocked into a pile of iron powder by the sword gang, but his face was still expressionless, so he stood aside with the sword in his back, slightly closed his eyes and watched the qi, waiting for the game to begin.
At this time, all the contestants have been registered, and the swords have been distributed, and a ceremonial officer came over and said loudly: "The kendo competition is intended to learn kendo skills and kendo basics, and the point is stopped, the sword is the murder weapon, it is inevitable that someone will be injured, and minor injuries are allowed under normal circumstances, but if there is a phenomenon of maliciously causing cripplement or death, immediately disqualify the competition and hand it over to the criminal hall for disposal, do you understand?"
A young man in white held a sword and asked, "This adult, can you sign a deed of life and death?"
The ceremonial officer raised his eyebrows, glanced at the arrogant young man, and said in a deep voice: "There is no life and death contract in the regular season, and the phenomenon of disability and death is not allowed, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, and the referee will also remind in time, if someone violates, he will be directly disqualified!"
Bite!
At this moment, after the five referees sitting at the table had verified the information of the contestants, the referee in charge of referee supervision rang the bell on the field.
After the bell rang, the audience outside the stadium whistled and roared wolves, and the atmosphere was already driven before the film started.
Nie Lin paid attention to the referee in the field, seeing that the momentum was from the captain of the Guards, it should be a seventh-level swordsman or so, if someone in this field was too strong, this magistrate might not be able to stop some people from doing anything.
As for the contestants in the field, as soon as Nie Lin entered the venue, he roughly judged from his breath that in this group, there was no one in this group whose strength would exceed that of a third-level swordsman, as long as there were no accidents, he was very sure that he could advance to the top twenty-four.
At this time, the little bell was struck for the first time, and the ceremonial officer said loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived, greet!"
Whoa!
At this time, all the contestants bent down with their swords and bowed their heads to salute, and the audience outside also fell silent at this time, and tens of thousands of people saluted in the direction of the gathering platform.
I saw that on the gathering platform, the emperor was wearing a strong suit, but his face was sickly pale, the majesty of the emperor was not strong, he just raised his hand slightly, and the officials shouted in unison: "Finish the ceremony!"
Bell!
At this time, a big bell in front of the general platform was struck, the sound was incomparably loud and loud, and the sound was earth-shaking, followed by a burst of war drums, mixed with the bell, like thousands of troops and horses galloping, magnificent, listening to people's blood boiling, morale greatly increased.
Bell!
After a few moments, the drumming stopped, and the bell rang again, and the ceremonial officer announced in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has a decree, the game has officially begun!"
For a while, all the spectators around the arena once again seemed noisy, cheering, cheering and shouting, which made the atmosphere of the game tense and intense.
