Chapter 183: Preliminaries
"There were so many people participating. Xiao Lin stood outside a martial arts arena, looking at the front in a daze, this martial arts arena is called Tianxiang Arena, all competitions held in the imperial capital are generally held here, and at this time, a large number of people are walking towards the arena.
Linglong stood next to Xiao Lin, carefully reading the latest news announced on the communication compass, this kind of thing can only rely on her, because even if Xiao Lin goes to see it, he will miss a lot of information, which is equivalent to not reading, and it is a waste of time.
It says that there are three hundred and twenty people in total. Linglong said while looking at the compass.
"So much?" Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment and muttered in a low voice, "When will this be over, and then what?"
"It's divided into a group stage and a knockout round. Linglong continued, "There are a total of 32 groups, each group of 10 people, and the top two teams in the final group will enter the knockout round. ”
"It's a nuisance. Xiao Lin frowned, "The knockout round is not over at the beginning, and the group stage must be played first, so there are not several more games." ”
"It's not just a networking event. "The empire can rely on this kind of activity to make money, and of course I hope that the game can be extended as much as possible." ”
Xiao Lin shrugged his shoulders: "How is the specific place and time of the game arranged?"
Linglong then glanced at the communication compass, found the specific game arrangement, and said: "We are not in the same group, you are in the fourth group, I am in the twenty-sixth group, and today's game is in the afternoon." ”
"Afternoon?" Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes rolled, "Then why are we here so early, it is better to go out for a walk." ”
"There was no game in the morning, but all the players had to be there, so don't think about going out. Linglong said lightly.
"Why?" Xiao Lin glared, "You have to leave us there without a game." ”
"If something goes wrong, the next game will be moved forward, so you have to be there. Linglong said calmly.
Xiao Lin sighed: "Forget it, let's just go and see other people's skills, and it can be regarded as spying intelligence." ”
"Let's go. Linglong nodded and walked towards the Tianxiang Arena in the distance.
Xiao Lin and the others did not squeeze in with the ordinary people, but walked through the player passage on the other side, and it didn't take much time to walk into the arena.
As soon as he walked inside, a huge wave of sound quickly surged towards Xiao Lin, which suddenly made his eardrums buzz, in front of them was a huge arena, which was originally an arena, but now in order to compete in thirty-two groups, the organizers divided this huge stage into thirty-two areas, so that all the groups could compete at the same time.
Around the arena is a huge circular auditorium, which is already full of people, and at the same time, there is a large group of black people walking towards the audience in the passage, dragging all kinds of snacks in their hands, and there are foreign tourists who specially came to the Tianxiang Empire to watch the competition.
"Then I'll report to my own group.
Xiao Lin said to Linglong, Linglong didn't say anything, just nodded lightly and walked away.
Xiao Lin watched Linglong leave and reached out to touch his nose, this girl was familiar for a while and cold for a while, he really couldn't figure out this girl's thoughts.
Xiao Lin shook his head, drove out the messy thoughts in his mind, and then walked towards his group.
There is a huge black number in each area of the competition field indicating which group's venue this is, Xiao Lin saw his group from a distance, except for him, all the participating members have arrived, and two players have already started to compete in the divided area, and the strong momentum is back and forth.
Xiao Lin slowly walked to the side, took out his participation card and showed it to the staff of the competition field, and then came to the edge of the competition area and looked at the two people who were fighting inside, which was amazing.
Xiao Lin's appearance naturally attracted the attention of the players in the same group, everyone had different expressions on their faces, some were indifferent, some were smiling, some nodded friendlyly, and some stared at him with fierce eyes.
"No one should know about me. Xiao Lin is also quietly observing the opponents he is about to face, not only to understand how much strength others have, but also to observe how much they know about their own secrets.
After the opening ceremony, Su He took Xiao Lin to a bar, the two stayed in the private room for a long time, and when they left, it was already dark outside, and the two of them chatted for a long time, and Su He also told Xiao Lin what happened in the Imperial Theater before.
Xiao Lin learned that there were many people spying on him and finding out information about him.
"Since the throne has asked you to participate in this junior martial arts competition, it means that your identity will be completely exposed to the world, at least in front of the high-ranking people of other countries. Xiao Lin recalled what Su He had said to him before.
Su He solemnly reminded him to pay attention to the people around him, although the high-level leaders of other countries will not easily reveal his identity to the players participating in the martial arts competition, but it is not excluded that a few people already know his identity, and if you meet those players in the competition, you must be very careful, the other party is likely to fight Xiao Lin with a purpose, and it is not good that he will kill the killer in the game.
"Not really. Xiao Lin muttered softly in his heart, "This public saying that killing people kills people?" He didn't care too much about Su He's warning words in his heart, the Tianxiang Empire is now attracting the attention of the whole world, and naturally needs to maintain the safety of the entire world conference and martial arts competition, after all, the empire doesn't want to lose face more than the dead.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao?" a voice pulled Xiao Lin back to reality from his contemplation.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Lin was stunned when he saw the person coming, the smiling young man in front of him was Situ Yun, "You are also from this group?"
"It's not. Situ Yun smiled and shook his head, "My first day's competition is over, I noticed that you are here, so I stopped by to catch up." ”
"Results
How's it going?" asked Xiao Lin.
"Winning by luck. Situ Yun chuckled and said, "The opponent's strength is not weak, and he has some means." ”
"Really?" Xiao Lin asked, "The quality of the players from other countries is so high?"
"They're definitely not going to send some trash fish over. Situ Yun said with a smile, "Because of the World Conference, this competition has attracted a lot of attention, and everyone wants to see how many potential seedlings in each country have, and it can be regarded as a kind of competition between national strength." ”
"The best people from other countries don't even come to participate, and this kind of competition doesn't say much. Xiao Lin said casually, if it weren't for the throne's order to participate, he really didn't have any interest in this martial arts competition.
"That's true, but there's always some clues. Situ Yun nodded, agreeing with Xiao Lin's statement, "After all, the most eye-catching thing is the genius battlefield. ”
"Genius Battlefield?" Xiao Lin was stunned, it was the first time he heard this statement, "What is that?"
"Don't you know?" Situ Yun was a little strange, he was surprised that Xiao Lin didn't know about this world-famous battlefield.
"I don't know, what is that?" Xiao Lin asked.
There was a hint of meaningful light in Situ Yun's eyes, but he quickly retreated away, and he said softly: "The genius battlefield opens once every five years, gathering the top geniuses of the entire continent, and the requirements are very strict, not everyone is qualified to enter. ”
"What request?" Xiao Lin was intrigued.
"You must not be older than seventeen years old and at least level 6 capable at the same time. Situ Yun shook his head helplessly, "This request alone can stop more than ninety percent of people outside." ”
"Is it difficult to reach the sixth level at the age of seventeen?" Xiao Lin tilted his head and asked a little confused, he had no concept of this kind of thing, and he didn't know how to judge it.
Situ Yun was a little speechless, so he could only gently pat Xiao Lin's shoulder: "This thing is recorded in the book, you can check it carefully, I still have to leave beforehand." So saying, he turned and departed.
Xiao Lin watched Situ Yun slowly walk away with some blankness, turned his head and found that several opponents in the same group not far away were gathering together to look at him and whisper, with mockery on their faces, as if they were laughing at Xiao Lin for not knowing the genius battlefield.
Xiao Lin looked at the actions of those people, a trace of anger flashed in his heart, and he made up his mind to make them suffer a little for a while.
The staff seemed to be intent on satisfying Xiao Lin's wishes, and inadvertently brought Xiao Lin's game to the morning, and the opponent was one of the people who had mocked him before.
As soon as Xiao Lin heard his name, his figure immediately flashed, and he stood still in the blink of an eye, holding the standard iron sword provided by the staff in his hand, staring at his opponent like a prey, waiting for the other party to compete.
It was a short and strong young man, who walked into the middle of the field with his empty hands, looking at Xiao Lin with his nostrils facing the sky, looking unruly.
Xiao Lin stared at his opponent up and down for a while, he understood it, and after the trial of the black court, he gradually summed it up
There is a rule, all this kind of players who look five big and three thick, basically don't like to use weapons, fists are their best weapons, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, then threw away the iron sword in his hand, and hooked his finger at the other party: "Come and die." ”
Xiao Lin judged in his heart that this kid was not the kind of scheming player at a glance, this kind of appearance was obviously not a high level of intelligence, and he would definitely not be able to stand this general provocation.
Sure enough, the short and stout young man was so angry that his nostrils smoked, and the whole person rushed towards him like a buffalo, and his hands were suddenly wrapped in a layer of dry branches, and barbs were growing on them.
Xiao Lin looked at the young man who rushed over with a strange expression, a hint of schadenfreude appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he also punched out, and the fierce flames rose to the sky, surging towards the opponent.
The kid who was still smiling with a smug smile on his face suddenly showed an irrepressible horror, and the whole person immediately withdrew his fists and retreated with a strange scream, but he was still a step too late.
Xiao Lin's fire fist slammed firmly into the kid's body, and suddenly thick black smoke filled out, and there was even a sound of something burning in the field.
When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the figure of the young man was finally revealed, although his mouth was still panting, but he had obviously lost his ability to fight, his body twitched vigorously, and the corners of his mouth were still foaming at the mouth.
Xiao Lin looked at the young man's miserable appearance and was speechless for a while, this game ended too quickly, it's not that the opponent's strength is not good, it's really bad luck, the wood element meets the fire element, it is really a bag, this is a phase problem and has nothing to do with strength.
"It's over. Xiao Lin looked at the staff and asked.
The staff didn't know what to say, so they could only nod silently and signal that Xiao Lin could leave.
Xiao Lin put his hands behind his back and swaggered away, leaving the stunned crowd behind him to look at each other.
