Chapter 35: The First Round of the Challenge Begins!
The so-called VIP seats are special viewing platforms set up for some powerful nobles or heads of major forces.
These viewing platforms are similar to the private rooms in some large hotels, while the ordinary auditorium is similar to the lobby in the hotel.
The viewing platform is open-air, separated by a magical barrier, and occupies a large area, jutting out in a semicircle. It is furnished with sofas, tables and chairs, all of which are exquisitely and luxuriously furnished, and the floor is covered with a thick red lace carpet. When people look down from the viewing platform, they can clearly see the scene in the vast gladiatorial arena.
Entering the viewing platform belonging to the Edra family, Bu Tian pulled Wendy, who was a little blushing, to gather around the sofa and whispered.
"Wendy, guess what kind of results I'm going to get in the second round. Butian smiled with a thief's face, quite a bit of a big-tailed wolf.
Wendy glanced at Butian, then quietly turned her head and looked at her father and second brother, and was relieved to see that they were not paying attention to this side.
She was like a child who had done something wrong, and said with some trepidation: "Brent, you should be able to achieve the top three results." I believe you. As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Butian seriously with big eyes.
"It's only the top three, it seems that you don't think much of me. Butian dragged out his voice for a long time, as if he was very dissatisfied.
"No, Brent, but ......" Seeing that Butian seemed unhappy, Wendy was a little anxious and hurriedly wanted to explain.
"Hehe, Wendy, if I can finish first in the second round, will you give me some reward?" Butian showed his fox tail, and his face was smiling and his eyes were dripping.
"Ah, you, what reward do you want?" Seeing Butian's evil smile, Wendy seemed to realize that she had been fooled, and said a little nervously and shyly.
"Well, well, I'll talk about it then, no matter what reward you give me, I'll be happy. For example..."Seeing the little girl's cramped and shy face, Bu Tian smiled wickedly and glanced at her little lips.
"Brent!!" followed the thief's slippery eyes, Wendy didn't know what he was thinking, and immediately bit his apricot lip and scolded angrily.
"Hmm? What's wrong. Butian pretended to be stupid.
"You're a badass. Wendy scolded and pinched him hard.
"Ah?......" Butian still looked innocent.
"I ignore you, I'll go find my father. Wendy ran away.
Bu Tian looked at the little girl embarrassedly and trotted all the way to Count Warren's side, and finally made a grimace at him, that eccentric appearance, which made Bu Tian's heart tickle.
"Knock Knock Knock"
The thunderous sound of war drums suddenly sounded at this moment, and the blood-boiling rumble resounded throughout the gladiatorial arena.
Bu Tian was stunned, and then turned his head to look under the viewing platform.
But at this time, there was a row of sturdy men standing in the gladiatorial arena, they were all naked, revealing their knotted muscles like rocks, shouting in their mouths, and the drumsticks in their hands rhythmically beat the animal skin drum in front of them. It was as if a blacksmith was wielding a heavy hammer and sweating on the molds on the stove.
In the audience, which was already overcrowded, there were people's shouts and screams, one after another, and they were extremely excited.
The Spartan City Qualifier Challenge has officially begun!
Just when the people were excited and shouted, a figure suddenly floated above the entire gladiatorial arena.
The distance is too far, and there are so many seats in such a vast gladiatorial arena that ordinary people can't see the specific appearance of the figure at all.
Bu Tian is a low-level 2 powerhouse, and his eyesight is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
It can be clearly seen that the figure is a middle-aged man, with an ordinary appearance, the only difference is the person's eyes. One of his eyes was white and empty, there was no pupil, only the white of the eye, and the other eye was normal, with pale yellow pupils.
Judging from the scene of this middle-aged man's appearance, Bu Tian guessed that this person must be a magician, and he was at least a mid-level 4 magician, otherwise it would be difficult to perform a level 4 magic levitation technique. Looking at this person standing in the air with a light and breezy appearance, I am afraid that his magical strength will only be stronger.
The middle-aged magician didn't wear any magic robes, just a short staff in his hand. He suddenly whispered a few times in his mouth, and then swung the staff in his hand into the air, and his movements were extremely elegant.
A pale blue light shot into the air of the gladiatorial arena, and without a sound, a huge diamond-shaped light curtain appeared in the sky above the entire gladiatorial arena.
From the diamond-shaped light curtain, the figure of the middle-aged magician appeared impressively, and all the people in the audience seats in all directions could clearly see the scene in the diamond-shaped light curtain.
Level 4 Magic Mirroring.
The middle-aged magician who appeared in the diamond-shaped light curtain was expressionless, and his strange eyes made the people who saw it panic.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Sean 61 Sterling. Dispatched by the Academy of Light to serve as the referee and final judge of the Spartan City Qualifying Challenge. On behalf of the Academy of Light, I would like to welcome you. ”
The second-level magic was transmitted widely, and everyone in the gladiatorial arena heard the middle-aged magician's voice. Everyone saluted with the warmest applause, the big man sent by the Holy Light Academy, who would dare to refute face?
The middle-aged Sean was not moved by the applause of the audience, and still said with a flat face: "The rules of this challenge are the same as in the past, so I won't go into details." If you don't even know the rules of the challenge and participate recklessly, then this kind of person may not be able to go too far. ”
As soon as Sean said this, he completely embarrassed Butian, and he became a reckless idiot who was despised.
"The Spartan City Qualifier Challenge had 8,357 participants, and I reviewed it myself. The elimination of age problems, the elimination of too weak strength, and the elimination of names that are taboo to me, a total of 357 people were eliminated, and the remaining 8,000 people participated, just a whole number. If you have any objections, you can come to me for a theory, and I will give him a satisfactory answer. ”
Sean floated in the air and spoke, but the words he uttered were truly amazing, and he simply didn't take everyone into account. When he finally asked people with objections to find him a theory, he sneered, and his strange pupils were blazing.
With this gesture, who would dare to theorize with him.
Bu Tian was also slandered in his heart, this guy is too domineering, what is just a whole number, is it so coincidental? But then he thought that the other party was not only strong, but also supported by the behemoth of the Holy Light Academy, Bu Tian instantly lost his temper.
He was also nervous at the moment, worried about whether he was on the exclusion list.
There is no problem in terms of strength and age, but who knows if his blind name will commit this white-eyed wolf taboo, this is really a matter of luck.
The mood of anxiety did not last long, and when Sean waved his staff, rows of neatly listed lists were highlighted on the diamond-shaped light curtain, and five big words were written on the first line of the list: List of Cullers.
Most of the spectators in the gladiatorial arena leaned forward, their eyes staring at the list for a while. The exaggerated posture seemed to be a group of old men who visited the kiln, and when they saw a certain red-card oiran posing in public, they longed for an extra pair of eyes on their faces.
Bu Tian and Count Warren also nervously followed the list to find it, and after reading the whole list, they carefully determined it again, and Bu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, there was no name on the list.
Most of these exclusions are problematic, such as many contestants who are over 25 years old and between 26 years old, with their exact age details down to a few months and a few days.
As for the few contestants who didn't seem to have any problems, Bu Tian was secretly happy in his heart, and it was estimated that they were all unlucky guys whose names were taboo.
All cullers almost have one thing in common, that is, their strength is at the lower level 1 level.
It is estimated that some powerhouses whose strength has reached the second level of the lower level, even if the name is taboo, it is not easy for the white-eyed wolf to eliminate them. After all, the original intention of the Holy Light Academy was to recruit students with excellent qualifications, and he couldn't go overboard.
Below, 8,000 participants will participate in the challenge in eight rounds, with 1,000 participants in each round. During the challenge, if a participant wants to back down and abstain, he or she will walk out of the arena with his head in his hands, even if he can't walk, he can stay where he is. Alchemy golems do not attack abstainers, and once they do, all participants are not allowed to attack those who abstain. ”
Sean explained some important information about the challenge in detail, and after he finished speaking, he showed a row of white teeth and said with a smile: "Of course, I will always pay attention to each round of the challenge. If anyone wants to play any tricks, such as using the trick of holding their heads in their hands against alchemy golems, then I don't care if you hold your stupid head for a few seconds, you will be considered to abstain. ”
As soon as Sean's words fell, some of the contestants who still cherished their lives were happy, while a few contestants who were lucky also completely dispelled the idea of opportunism.
Who knows if this white-eyed guy will be eyeing himself, if he treats others as blind, he will not be a fool in the end.
"Alright. Now, the first round of the challenge has officially begun, and all participants in the first round will immediately enter the gladiatorial arena, and those who do not arrive after five minutes will be deemed to have forfeited. Each round lasts for one hour and ends after one hour. ”
The majestic and loud voice spread in all directions, Sean floated in the air, looked around, and the coercion of a strong man spread, like an abyss.
"Knock Knock Knock"
The dull drums beat again, and rows of sturdy giants hung huge drums on their chests, shouting, beating, and taking powerful steps, slowly retreating towards the outside of the gladiatorial arena.
At this moment, it is a stage for young and strong people.
"Boom"
One after another figures flashed from all directions of the audience to the gladiatorial arena, all of them with good strength, like locusts passing through, a series of black dots flew and jumped, quickly gathering towards the gladiatorial arena.
The diamond-shaped light curtain clearly shows the scene of the entire gladiatorial arena, and the appearance of each contestant on the light curtain will cause a burst of shouts and cheers.
Suddenly, the figure of a purple-haired young man appeared in the diamond-shaped light curtain, and this person only flashed in the light curtain, but it caused the cheers and cheers of the audience.
"Renault, Renault, Renault......"
The shouts of joy and shouts were like the tide of the sea, and the people of Sparta screamed almost hysterically. Many viewers who didn't know Wren were infected by the atmosphere, and they also shouted with red faces and thick necks.
