The next day, Ryan woke up early to go watch the rest of the guys play.

A long time ago, Ryan decided. Because he lacks experience in fighting others, he needs to watch others play more so that he can absorb some experience, so that he doesn't get scrambling when it is his turn to fight.

Ryan had confirmed yesterday that he didn't have a fight today, so he didn't bring his gear and headed out empty-handed to watch the game.

Arriving at the Mercenary Guild, Ryan discovers that there are more people here than yesterday. However, unlike yesterday, the people who came here yesterday were basically mercenaries who came to draw lots, and the people who came here today were all people who came to watch the game.

Ryan arrives at the ticket office in front of the arena and buys a ticket for the lowest class.

The lowest ticket is cheap, only 1 silver coin, but it is very far from the stage, and it is still sold in limited quantities, while stocks last. I guess this is for the Mercenary Association for those who want to watch the game but don't have much money.

As for the other tickets, they are divided into several classes, and Ryan learned from the staff that the best tickets are the tickets in the front row, which require several gold coins, and the most expensive ticket requires 10 gold coins.

Of course, there are also some private rooms for some dignitaries to watch, and these boxes cannot be bought with money alone.

Ryan held the lowest ticket worth 1 silver coin in his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Poor, it's the same in any world, but the advantage of this ticket is that you can watch it all day, and it's worth the money." ”

Ryan then followed the crowd into the arena.

As soon as he entered the arena, Ryan's first feeling was that it was big, but the second feeling that came immediately was that it was crowded. At a glance, the surrounding area of the arena is in the form of a ladder and densely packed with seats, and looking at the number of seats, it is estimated that it can accommodate tens of thousands of people to watch the game at the same time.

In the middle of the arena are plum blossom-shaped ten square platforms, which are two meters high and about ten meters long and wide. The stage is a bit small, but considering the limited level of mercenaries, this table is sufficient.

Ryan already knew from yesterday's rules that in the preliminary round, there were 10 sets of matches on 10 stages at the same time, and once the winner of the table was decided, the next set of matches would be played on that table.

Although the way of playing ten games at the same time will dazzle the audience, it is also a way to do it, there are too many participants, and if you play one game at a time, it will not be able to compare with the first half of the year.

However, it is said that by the second round of the preliminary round, two tables will be reduced, and then with each round, two tables will be reduced until there are two tables left for the preliminary round. Of course, by the time it comes to the finals, there is only one stage left.

Ryan estimates that it will be his turn to race, and it is estimated that it will not be until the third day.

Ryan sat in his seat, looking at the empty stage that had not yet started the competition, and muttered with some dissatisfaction: "The mercenary association is too stingy, the players can only enter the arena half a day in advance to prepare, and if they want to watch the game, they have to buy their own tickets." ”

…………

"Distinguished guests and spectators, the annual Mercenary Tournament is about to begin, and everyone is welcome to come and watch the competition. Before the game starts, let me explain the rules of the game......" There was a loud sound in my ears, which overshadowed the noisy spectators, this was the voice of the game commentator, and the narrator's gushing voice instantly quieted the audience.

The horn-like voice really startled Ryan. All of a sudden, Ryan had the illusion that he was in the middle of a concert in his previous life. However, Ryan immediately noticed the difference, the sound from the loudspeaker in his previous life was a little distorted, so that people would know that it was a machine when they heard it, but the huge sound made by this scene did not have any distortion feeling, as if a person was talking loudly in your ear.

"I don't know how this sound was made, it's definitely not a horn, the only explanation is that it uses magic, and I really can't think of any principle used." Ryan was a little cranky. However, he was quite right, and this sound similar to the horn effect was really amplified by magic equipment.

"Okay, the rules of the game are explained, and then our players will be invited into the arena, starting with the players in the first group of competitions......"

In the field, players entered the venue one after another with the introduction of the narrator. Some of the spectators cheered, and it was clear that there were spectators who knew the contestants to cheer them on.

However, when the narrator introduces the contestants, it is basically very simple, most of them just introduce the names, and obviously these are some unknown people. Occasionally, there are one or two well-known players, and the narrator will introduce a few more words, such as which mercenary group they belong to, how many levels of swordsmen, and so on.

There are so many players in the preliminary round that the commentator can tell the information of these very few players, which is already very remarkable. However, it is estimated that by the time it comes to the finals, the contestants should all be famous, and the narrator should introduce the contestants at that time.

Moments later, all 10 tables were on the field, and the referees and other staff were in place. With the order of the commentator, this mercenary competition officially began.

At this time, the cheers of the audience reached the extreme. But the cheer lasted only a moment, and then it fell silent. After all, at such a level in the preliminary round, it really can't attract a long cheer from the audience, unless there is a good fight.

"Look at the seventh stage, player No. 269 used the fighting spirit of the fire attribute, his long sword emitted a fiery red sword light, this player is a level 2 swordsman. His opponent has not used his fighting spirit until now, and he should not be a swordsman, and the strength of the two sides is very different. Oh, the two sides began to approach, one move, oh, just one move, player No. 269, with a swing of the sword, he cut off the opponent's sword, and the opponent immediately conceded defeat. It was the fastest game to finish......"

"Look, on the tenth stage, both players are level 1 swordsmen, both sides use their fighting spirit, use their long swords to split each other, the two sides are evenly matched, it depends on whose fighting spirit can support a little longer......"

"The two players on the third stage did not use their fighting spirit, but they both used good sword skills, you come and go, it depends on who shows flaws......"

"The seventh stage that just finished the game, now please ask the next group of players to compete, they are ......"

……

The narrator's voice is sometimes slow, sometimes urgent, sometimes flat, and sometimes sensational, which completely mobilizes the excitement of the audience.

However, the fight in the arena disappointed Ryan. Ryan turned out Ryan's memories before, but found that it was very vague, although Ryan had seen a lot of fights before, but in Ryan's memory, there was no memory of the detailed process, some were just that this person was very powerful, and that person was also very powerful. So Ryan subconsciously felt that the swordsmen in this world were very powerful.

At this moment, when Ryan saw the fighting process of others in the real sense, he found that the actual situation was far less powerful than he imagined.

While watching the game, Ryan silently summarized the advantages and disadvantages of sword skills in this world in his heart.

One of the great advantages of sword skills in this world is that swordsmen can use Dou Qi, and the long sword blessed by Dou Qi will emit a powerful light. From the game, it can be seen that the long sword blessed by Dou Qi will suddenly split the long sword without the blessing of Dou Qi. If this long sword is slashed at a person, with the sharpness of the long sword, it is believed that it can chop a person to death.

However, it is precisely because of the strength of the fighting spirit that the people of this world rely too much on the fighting spirit. Many swordsmen will only use their fighting spirit to slash straight back, which is a big drawback.

In addition, in the eyes of Ryan, who has been influenced by many film and television novels in his previous life, the sword skills in this world are too simple. Except for basic movements such as slashing, chopping, and stabbing, it seems that there are no other movements.

After summarizing for a moment, Ryan didn't forget to warn himself: "The fights here are only the lowest level fights, maybe the more advanced fights are different, and you still can't underestimate the sword skills of this world." ”

Watching other people's fights now makes Ryan a little disappointed, but it also makes Ryan a little happy. Because if a lot of people were at that level, then Ryan could have won a few more games.

Ryan then kept imagining in his mind how he would respond if he were to compete against these opponents. As a result, he came up with a lot of ways to cope. This made Ryan can't help but be overjoyed, and he increased his fighting experience in this way.

However, after watching it for a long time, Ryan became a little bored. During this period, except for one or two masters, who made Ryan feel that he was not sure to deal with them, many other players were the same characteristics, which made Ryan have a great deal of confidence.

This result made Ryan decide not to continue watching, and it would be better to have more time to go back and make final preparations.
