By the time there are eight days left before the New Year. Finally, the registration for the world's first martial arts competition was announced.

From the beginning of the announcement to the present. It took two and a half months. I have to say that this time is a little shorter. For example, some remote areas of the continent have even gotten the news of this kind of conference competition. Messages come and go. And the samurai in the remote areas had to rush to dìdū to compete. I'm afraid that the journey will take nearly two months.

The result is announced on this day, and the application deadline is a few days later. There were still various samurai who came from other places one after another, indignant and dissatisfied because they had missed the registration time, and demonstrated and shouted around the headquarters of the Knights' Guild - Shewei didn't care about this, and just let the soldiers of the Sheriff's Department drag these guys away.

Until the last day of registration. The number of people who signed up for the world's first martial arts competition reached more than 4,100 people. Pity...... It's time for the real preliminaries. There were more than 600 fewer people who came to the race...... All of these 600 people were disqualified due to "off-field factors".

Some of them were killed or injured in fights during their stay in dìdū, some were taken to prison by the Sheriff's Office, and some were seen by dìdū masters. I don't think I'm good at it. Just leave quietly. lest you make a fool of yourself in public.

But these Du Wei didn't care, and Delong didn't care. Anyway, he has already made a lot of windfalls, and so many consecutive periods of "Saijing" have brought Delong a net income of nearly 10,000 gold coins, and each issue of Saijing is in short supply as soon as it is listed. kept printing and printing, so that Delong counted the money and counted his fingers cramped.

In the past two months, Du Wei has already asked people to renovate the huge earth square in the headquarters of the Knight Association, and a one-meter-tall circular ring has been laid in the middle. It's about the size of half a football field.

The three-story buildings on all sides of the surrounding land were also urgently built into the "stands" designed by Du Wei, although they were a little simpler, but a wall facing the ring was demolished and a railing was installed. But after careful separation. The three-storey VIP box reached 116 11, and this kind of box Du Wei announced the sale according to the model of "package ticket". If you buy this kind of box package, you can go from the preliminaries to the finals.

At the same time, on the first day, it was announced that the two best boxes had been given to the royal family and the Church, and that His Royal Highness the Regent and His Majesty the Pope were said to be present to watch the games. The remaining 100 or so boxes were immediately snapped up by the wealthy nobles - this is a good opportunity to get in touch with the royal family and the church!!

Even if the price was as high as 3,000 gold coins each, it was all sold out within three days, and just more than 100 boxes earned more than 300,000 gold coins!

And the floor of the VIP seats. A total of more than 600 were made, and they were also sold in the situation of "package tickets", and they were not retailed, with a price of 300 gold coins per seat. It was all sold in just a few days.

Just selling the ticket prices on the second and third floors got nearly 500,000 gold coins Looking at the numbers on the ledger one by one, Delong's face was full of redness, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to kiss Du Wei on the spot!

That's 500,000 gold coins!

This Du Wei really deserves to be recognized as the golden finger of the empire! He really can bring wealth wherever he goes!

As for the tickets on the ground on the square on the first floor...... Du Wei simply waved his pen and sold it at the price of three copper plates per day—such a low price made Delong a little surprised, but Du Wei then smiled faintly: "The seats upstairs are used to earn gold coins for those rich people! After all, after hundreds of years of peacetime operations, there are many rich people." But most of the audience in the square are ordinary citizens, for these citizens. A few copper plates are already a day's living expenses, and it is impossible for them to pay more money to watch a lively show, so there is no need to set the price too high, otherwise it will be true. I'm afraid that no one will come to see it. ”

Even so. Thousands of tickets for viewing in the square on the first floor are also selling rapidly, after all, for civilians. A few copper plates are also a lot of money. Many people are still waiting...... However, Du Wei predicts that when the game actually starts, tickets will sell quickly.

According to the calculations. Just selling ordinary tickets on the first floor is enough to recover the cost of renovating the competition venue.

The income of 500,000 gold coins on the second and third floors. Du Wei gave Delong 100,000. Then he took a hundred thousand for himself. The rest of the pen is a big stroke. All donated to the Imperial treasury - such an act. Much to the regent's satisfaction. The Chancellor of the Exchequer also came to the door that night to thank Du Wei. even put forward the idea of letting Du Weidi's younger brother and his granddaughter get married in advance.

Du Wei muttered in his heart when he heard this: Gabry is only fourteen years old! According to the customs of the empire, it is barely okay. But this old man's granddaughter is only twelve years old!! It's a crime!

&��8226:

Because there are so many participants. If you catch the right fight and play two by two, I'm afraid that this game won't be over until next year!

So Du Wei and Delong discussed, and Delong came forward. After consulting with the other three judges. The rules of the preliminaries were made! Let all the players draw lots. Then every group of eight people will fight in a group!

Eight people in the ring. In the end, he still stood and did not fall. It's the winner of this group!

This suggestion was originally met with some skepticism, after all, one person has to win seven opponents at the same time. Although it is easy for a good samurai to defeat seven ordinary people by himself, it is ...... This is a samurai competition! Suppose a sixth-rank samurai meets seven fifth-rank samurai in a group. Then even if this sixth-level samurai is the strongest, he will definitely not be able to beat seven fifth-level warriors!

However, DeLong took out Du Weidi's set of words: "The game is not only about the strength of the individual. And wisdom! Nor is it just individual brute force. You also have to learn to use your brains! Hide yourself and preserve your strength. And so on and so forth...... In the end, we hope to select a champion who can lead the Knights of Roland's Sword to glory, not a reckless man who can only brute force. If you really encounter the situation you are talking about, then as the strongest person in the group, you will inevitably be hostile to the other players. Then this player will have to use his brain!"

This set of arguments convinced the other three judges.

When there are still four days before the New Year, the world's first martial arts competition officially begins!

At the time of the preliminaries, the huge ring was divided into eight small pieces. Every piece of small ring. There is a group fighting each other, and there is only one pillar of incense in time! This pillar of incense is burned. It was about half an hour or so. If a group doesn't win within half an hour, the whole group will be eliminated!

Although some of it is not fair...... As a result, it is inevitable that some so-called "death groups" will appear. Let some of the stronger players be placed in the same group. Or if the game cannot be finished within the allotted time, the entire group is eliminated...... However, Du Wei's view on this is: There is no absolute fairness in the world! When there is land, luck is also a kind of strength!

For example, the "World Cup" in Du Wei's previous life was also played in groups. The final champion. It doesn't have to be the defeat of all the strong teams. As long as you defeat the opponent you draw, you can win the championship...... Can you say it's absolutely fair?

One way or another. In the midst of a lively and noisy evaluation. The competition has officially begun!

Du Wei did not play on the first day, and he played in the preliminaries on the second day. So on this day, he happily sat in the box on the third floor and watched the players fighting below.

Little Zach also brought a group of people to sit in the square on the first floor closest to the ring, and even set up a few tables. A few of his men were constantly recording something.

Because there are a few of the people who participated in the preliminaries today who are the favorites in betting. As the head of the gambling syndicate, Zach Jr. has to record the results of the game, and then cash out the bets one by one, and then change and modify the odds according to the outcome of the win.

Outcome. The first day of the competition. Just let a lot of gamblers lose jīng light!

Obviously. It seems that this year. It's no longer possible to measure strength by "knight level"!

Today in a small group. There are two favourites in a group. These two guys both have fifth-level strength, which can be regarded as intermediate-level samurai, and they both have the strength to display their fighting spirit. And after the draw. The two guys were grouped together, which immediately caused a lot of criticism from betting gamblers. And the other six people in the same group were all some second- and third-level low-level warriors.

According to a normal guess. This group will probably become two fifth-level guys and end up going heads-up.

Results. But it was beyond everyone's expectations!!

When the game starts. These two fifth-level guys are also very smart. They even started at the time. The two reached a tacit understanding, and they did not start with each other first, but cooperated with each other to form an alliance. The plan is to get rid of the other low-level players on the stage first, so as to prevent the two of them from being besieged by the other six players because they stand out from the crowd.

But to the stunned of all the spectators present, two fifth-level masters teamed up to knock the five players out of the ring. In the end, there was nothing but them on stage. Only a thin-looking young man remained...... According to information previously announced by the competition. This young man only has a third-level strength. And only twenty years old.

A young man of the third level twenty years old has to face two fifth-level masters to attack together...... Results.

In plain sight. The young man, dressed in coarse gray clothes, and then holding a worn-out long sword, suddenly let out a loud shout. On the long sword, a gray fighting spirit actually came out!

Outcome. With a single sword, he slashed a fifth-level foe backwards. Split the opponent's sword away! and then take advantage of the other guy's stunned effort. flew up and kicked on the opponent's geocentric socket, lifting him directly out of the ring!

The guy with the sword in his hand was already vomiting blood. So when the young man's sword blade was pressed against his throat, he simply raised his hands to admit defeat!

The audience was in an uproar!

Then, amid the shouts of countless spectators in the audience, the young man stepped out of the ring. Cheer to the crowd. Even Du Wei, who was standing in the box, stood up and clapped with a smile......

Of course he was very happy! The two favourites were wiped out! His gambling syndicate made a lot of money!

"What's the name of this young man?" Du Wei asked Delong beside him, and he looked at the young man in the audience. The guy was thin and tall, with green hair, a very convex face, and a very firm look in his eyes, and he looked like a very strong young man.

DeLong quickly flipped through the list of contestants for today. Then he smiled and said, "Oh, I found it!" His name is ...... Vic ...... What a weird name. ”

The first day was not the only one. In the middle of another set of competitions. This group has a sixth-level earth master, and this master is also a holy knight!!

The strength of a sixth-level Holy Knight Land, that is absolutely not the slightest bit of water! Everyone knows this! It was assumed that the sixth-level Holy Knight had won—there was no doubt about it. He's a big hit in this group as well!

Results. A young man in his twenties with hair like straw. cāo speaks with a typical southern accent. Wears a white sè coarse cloth samurai robe. Not even the weapon was drawn. With an almost ghostly speed, he knocked the other opponents out of the ring in a matter of moments!

In the end, he easily dodged the sixth-level knight's earth sword. Sticking to the ground in front of him. A punch to the waist eye of this sixth-level knight. directly shook him out of the ring...... What moved Du Wei the most was. After this sixth-level knight fell out of the ring. Immediately rolled over and jumped up, looking unharmed at all!

What does this mean? It means that the guy is very measured! He can easily control the power of his shots!

It's not hard to knock the enemy out of the ring. The hard thing is to keep the other party from getting hurt! That is, to make the other party lose resistance without harming the other party......

This kid is a master! Du Wei immediately made a judgment: his strength was at least above the seventh level!

"What's his name?" Du Wei immediately asked Delon.

"Uh...... His name is ...... Another strange name. Kakarot. Come from...... Well, weirdly, the information says he's from the Southern Swamps, which is a very dangerous place. ”

Du Wei: "......"

&��8226:

Another unpopular creator of this day. There is also a name that makes Du Wei's eyelids flutter!

This guy is in a group. It only took a few faces. He broke the legs of four fourth-level players and two third-level players, and the last enemy jumped out of the ring in fright...... And this winner. The information shows that he is just a ...... First-class martial artist!!

And. Other information is from ...... A small village near the frozen forests of the north. He was twenty-eight years old and his name was ...... Vegeta!!

Du Wei rolled his eyes directly!

Vic Kakarot Vegeta?

...... Sure enough, it's the "world's first martial arts competition"!!

Du Wei even wanted to point at God and scold a few words: God, are you playing a game of Dragon Ball for me? Is there a turtle immortal? Is there Tianjin rice? Is there a Trunks!!

&��8226:

Although those coincidental names made Du Wei depressed. But soon he was happy.

Why?

Several of the favourites were killed. Then his casino is naturally very profitable!

That night, Du Wei slept beautifully. At the same time, the odds were modified. Adjusted up the odds of today's upset "Dragon Ball Trio" land a bit.

&��8226:

The next day. The Knights Association local competition venue is full of all the spectators! Even the tickets in the square were all sold out! Even on the street outside the Knights' Association, there was a new professional group that had never been seen in the Roland continent before-the ticket sellers. Commonly known as "scalpers"!

The guys walked around the crowd with a mysterious look on their faces. Seeing people with sad faces because they couldn't buy tickets. I quietly pasted it on. Sneakily whispered, "Brother." Do you want a ticket! Today is the Tulip Duke's competition!"

Of course. Du Wei didn't know anything about it. He had no idea that he had brought a new group of occupations to the continent.

He was sitting in a player's lounge.

Today the field was bustling with activity. It can almost be said that it is crowded, and the square and grandstand are all crowded. The upstairs and private rooms are also full.

Obviously...... The reason why so many spectators came today is because of the name of Duke Tulip!

A lot of people are curious. This magic genius, how good is his martial arts!

When the game starts. Du Wei was the first of eight in the group to step into the ring. The audience was thunderous!

I heard a round of applause and cheers from the stands. There are also many sounds of girls screaming.

And on the stands of the square, there are even some people who worship Duke Tulip very much, and they have a huge signboard!

What "tulips will win" or something. It's kind of implicitly.

There are even some crazy girls. Jumping up and screaming at Du Wei on the stage, "Marry me, Lord Duke!

"Your Excellency. I'd like to be your lover!my name is ............."

"Your Excellency. You're so charming!I'm willing to dedicate myself to you!!"

A group of females chirp. Du Wei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

And in the box, when Prince Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help but touch his chin and smiled: "Hahahaha! It seems that the title of 'First Love Saint' in our empire can finally be deserved! Since the death of the previous patriarch of the Liszt family, the position of the first love saint of the empire has been vacant." ”

Prince Charlie, who was sitting next to him, looked impatient, and he wanted to see if the teacher showed his skills.

It's Princess Karina. Looking at the women below who were shouting frantically at Du Wei, their faces showed undisguised disgust.

Amidst the shouts and shouts. It's time for the game!

To Du Wei's surprise, when the gong sounded on the playing ground, he was ready to fight. Holding the longbow in his hand, he looked at the seven opponents in front of him, and according to common sense, he was the most dazzling person in the entire group. It will definitely be a thorn in everyone's side, and Du Wei is worried that these people will come up and join forces to besiege him first.

Results......

A second passed...... Ten seconds passed...... Thirty seconds passed......

Look at me, these guys. I'll look at you, no one has done it first!

"Hey, I said a few of you, are you here to see the scenery! Du Wei was impatient.

However, he relied on Du Wei's recent guys, looking at Du Wei with a helpless face. Suddenly, one of them whispered, "Please, Lord Duke, you can show a few moves, and we can just jump out of the ring by ourselves......"

"Yes, yes!" The others quickly nodded.

Du Wei: "...... You ......"

The guy smiled flatteringly, "You're welcome! How dare I do it with you!"

"Yes, yes!" The others nodded their heads again!

Du Wei immediately understood what was going on!

It turns out that Du Wei is the most dazzling player in this group...... But with the status of the Duke of the Empire. Who would dare to do anything with him!

Although everyone thinks that this Duke is probably not skilled in martial arts...... But it's a duke!

How dare you slash him, punch him, kick him?

Hum. Even if you win this game, do you have the life to get out of the dìdū?!

Even if the Duke is merciful. Don't care about you in general. But dìdū wants to hug Duke Tulip's thigh! The Duke doesn't have to do it himself. There is a group of people who will volunteer to help him "vent"!!

The contest was won. Get a bonus?

That's got to have a life flower!

Du Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly...... In good conscience, he really didn't have the slightest intention of bullying others!!

Thinking of this, he simply stopped talking nonsense with these people. Raised eyebrows: "Stop talking nonsense!

With that, Du Wei took a step forward, his fingers just raised, and he buckled the bowstring of the longbow...... But Du Wei raised his finger. The guy closest to him immediately looked happy, and then suddenly shouted, "That's amazing!!"

The voice fell. The guy had already "screamed" and flew backwards with all his might. Fell directly under the ring!

Du Wei was stunned! He looked at him dumbfounded, couldn't cry or laugh, and subconsciously waved his hand again and again: "Don't ...... you?"

But I watched Du Wei "wave his hand". The two people standing in front of him immediately glanced at each other, and screamed "ahhhh One of them even exaggeratedly shouted, "What a powerful slash"!

After speaking. The two guys have already "taken off". Fell heavily outside the ring!!

Du Wei was almost fainted with anger. He gritted his teeth and stared at the remaining opponents: "You guys!"

"The villain doesn't dare!" Several people shook their heads. A look of groveling.

Du Wei was furious!

If you don't fight, Lao Tzu will fight!

Thinking of this, he strode forward. to the two guys in front of him. When you lift your legs, you're going to kick ......

But Du Wei's leg lift was made. The two guys already looked happy, and then wailed in pain twice, and flew out directly left and right......

Looking at the ring, Du Wei "cooked" five opponents in a moment, and the audience was already booing!

And Prince Chen, who was sitting in the box. Laughing and rolling in his chair, how smart he was. I instantly understood the subtlety of it, and I laughed so much that tears flowed out.

Du Wei's face couldn't hold back. The sound of the ground below. His face turned blue and white for a while, and he stared fiercely at the last two opponents on the ground, and looked at the guy on the left. "You're talking about you!"

"The villain doesn't dare!" The man took two more steps back.

"Hit me!" Du Wei pressed forward.

"The villain will never dare!" The man stepped back again. A look of cringe.

"You can't fight!" Du Wei raised his eyebrows and pressed forward.

"The villain will never dare!!" The man stepped back again!

"If I tell you to beat you, you'll fight!" Du Wei pressed forward again.

"The villain is really not ...... Ahh The man was halfway through the conversation. The body retreated again. But he stepped into the air - it turned out that he stepped back again and again. has already retreated to the edge of the ring. This foot was empty, and he immediately fell out of the ring.

Again...... Du Wei has solved another opponent!

Du Wei stood there. I was so angry that I vomited blood.

Thousands of spectators in the audience shouted angrily: "Shady! Shady!! Match-fixing!!"

Some people even shouted "Refund the ticket!!" Refund the ticket!!"

In the stands, the regent had already laughed so hard that he threw his teacup out of the railing. Holding his stomach, his body twitched.

And Du Wei stood in the ring, looking at the last "opponent" left in front of him.

Du Wei put away his anger. Suddenly, in an extremely kind tone. Whispered softly to this guy: "You come and beat me, I won't blame you." ”

The man was about to cry: "My lord, I don't dare to kill me." "I let you fight. What are you afraid of?"

"I ...... I'm afraid of everything!" This man's answer made Du Wei's heart spurt blood.

"So, here you come. You cut me with a sword, and I'll give you 10,000 gold coins! You kick me. I'll give you 20,000 gold coins!"

The man was crying: "My lord! The villain is willing to donate all his belongings to the adults...... Please stretch out your hand and let me go down......"

Du Wei thought in his heart: "You do it quickly." As long as you do it, I will make you the commander of the army!"

The man finally stopped crying. There was a hint of absolute determination on his face! Du Wei looked at it with joy in his eyes—he was finally going to do it?

Outcome...... The guy suddenly yelled. Du Wei stood in place, picked up his longbow and was about to block it......

However, this guy jumped far above Du Weidi's head, and jumped directly over Du Weidi's head. And then...... Plop and fall under the ring!

I saw that he still struggled a few times. A mouthful of blood spat out of his mouth! shouted: "The duke's miraculous skills are amazing!

After speaking. Straighten up. Directly "fainted".

Du Wei took the longbow and stiffened there. Watching this guy's final performance......

"Me. I want to compete!!" Du Wei looked up to the sky and sighed sadly.
