Chapter 62: The Dragon Society
Ten days have passed in a flash, and the Dragon Club of the Glacier Empire has officially kicked off on November 11th!
As early as a month before the conference, the preliminary round had already begun.
Some young and handsome people under the age of twenty in the empire even rushed to the imperial capital half a year in advance, for fear of missing the opportunity of this conference!
For ordinary martial artists, this Dragon Meeting is very important to them, even if they can't fight for the top three and worship the Immortal Gate, as long as they can show their faces at the Dragon Meeting, they will have the opportunity to be recruited into the family by the major families of the empire.
The Zhao family has the Zhao family's iron guard, the Ning family has the Ning family's blood horse, and the other major families also have similar protective power. It is impossible to maintain so many people all the time by relying only on the people of various clans, so the greatest hope of these ordinary martial artists is to be able to be selected for the guardian power of the major families. Although once something happens, they will inevitably rush to the front, but if they can be selected, not only will they not have to worry about the exercises and pills they practice, but even the whole family will benefit from it. Therefore, there are even more than 100,000 players participating in the Dragon Club every year!
But among these people, there are also good and bad, the strongest ones have the cultivation of the bone forging period, and the worst may have just broken through to the strong organ stage.
The royal family personally presided over such a grand event as the Dragon Club, and even the emperor had to attend the final in person, of course, it was impossible for these strong warriors to delay everyone's time. Therefore, before the official start of each Tenglong Club, there will be three rounds of preliminary rounds, and the best 1,000 players will be selected to enter the main competition.
The major families also have some privileges, and officials above the fifth grade in the country can recommend one person to enter the main competition, and at the same time, the young masters on the son's list and the fairy list, as long as they are not more than twenty years old, can also directly enter the main competition. Every year, the number of players who can enter the normal market is about 2,000!
Hundreds of rings have already been set up in the military drill ground of Leifang in the northern district of the imperial capital, and tens of thousands of kings are on guard around them. At the opening of today's competition, the Emperor of the Ice Empire came to watch the battle in person and gave some encouragement to these participants.
At three o'clock, as the three thousand kings rode to escort the emperor into the exercise ground, the atmosphere on the entire exercise ground reached the highest level! Two thousand contestants and 100,000 onlookers shouted in unison: "My emperor Shou and Xianqi, blessing the common people!"
Zhou Juede stepped onto the high platform and gently signaled, and the audience was suddenly silent.
"My glacier empire has been established for tens of thousands of years, and the Tenglong Club has been held for 13,605 sessions so far, and there are more than 40,000 people of the empire who have walked out of the empire and worshiped the immortal gate from here, and there are countless immortals, and my glacier empire can always stand on the continent, and the immortals who came out of the dragon meeting are inseparable! Today is the time for my glacier empire to select talents for the whole country, I hope you can show your strength at this conference, worship the immortal gate, and do your part for my glacier empire!"
"I respect the teachings of my emperor and swear to do my best for the long-term survival of the empire!" replied in unison to more than 2,000 contestants in the audience.
Zhou Juede then handed over the scene to Zhou Yuruo, the president of the Imperial Martial Arts Academy, to preside.
The Dragon Club has been held for 10,000 sessions so far, and there are already certain rules.
The contestants drew lots the day before, and two players with the same number played against each other, and under the supervision of the on-site referee, they caught and tore each other apart!
The game was a little bloody at the beginning, and on such an important occasion, if there was not an absolute gap, no one dared to keep their hands and did their best to win. In less than a quarter of an hour, half of the 100 simultaneous games ended the battle, and more than half were killed or wounded!
Ning Lin was also standing under the stage at this time, and the lottery he drew was No. 312, and he played in the third round.
For this competition, Ning Lin has no pressure at all. Looking at the more than 2,000 people who participated, the powerhouses in the late stage of bone forging can be counted on both hands, and as for the blood clotting period, there is no one, so who is his opponent?
"Please go to the No. 62 stage to compete ......"
Ning Lin heard his number plate on the stage and walked into the ring easily. But after waiting for a while, there was still no opponent. Just when Ning Lin was a little impatient, a staff member ran over and whispered to the on-site referee: "Another player abstained!"
Ning Lin won the first game without a fight!
More than 2,000 contestants were divided into more than 1,000 groups, and 100 games could be played at the same time on the school field.
In the second round of the main match on the second day, Ning Lin stepped into the ring in the first round. Unexpectedly, Ning Lin's opponent abstained again and sent Ning Lin directly to the third round.
On the third day, the game continued. After two rounds of elimination, there were only about 500 of the more than 2,000 players left. These five hundred people can be said to be the leaders of the younger generation of the Glacier Empire, and the weakest ones also have the strength of the late stage. However, Ning Lin was still proud of everyone in the early stage of blood coagulation!
Hearing his number plate shouted on the stage again, Ning Lin walked slowly to the ring, hoping that this time the opponent would not abstain again. It's always like this, Ning Lin is about to lose interest in the Tenglong Club. And Ning Lin very much hopes to meet the Zhao family in the ring, if he is against other players, Ning Lin will be merciful, but if he meets the Zhao family, Ning Lin will not have the slightest pressure in his heart, he must kill with all his might!
As soon as he stepped into the ring, he saw a figure under the stage jump up, jumped into the ring, and bowed his hand to Ning Lin from a distance, saying: "Sun Yang in Xiaqinghe Prefecture, please Master Ning for guidance!"
"Hmm!" Ning Lin looked at the strong man in front of him and nodded slightly, finally someone was willing to stand in the ring with him to fight! No matter what the opponent's strength was, this courage alone was worthy of recognition! Not to mention that Qinghe Prefecture was located on the border, far away from Kyoto, and he had not heard of any power of the Zhao family there, this person should have nothing to do with the Zhao family.
"The game is on!" As the referee on the field yelled, Ning Lin finally had a chance to make a move in the Tenglong Club!
In this competition, Ning Lin also showed his respect for his opponent and deliberately took the broken soldiers to the stage. Seeing that Sun Yang on the opposite side had raised a nine-ring broadsword in his hand and rushed towards him, Ning Lin smiled slightly, and waved his hand lightly, standing on the nine-ring broadsword, with a crisp sound of "dang", Sun Yang, a martial artist who had already forged bones, was hit back by Ning Lin's seemingly random file for more than a dozen steps, and almost fell into the ring!
Sun Yang gritted his teeth, grabbed the big knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Horizontal water strike!"
The nine-ring broadsword turned into a sky full of sword shadows, but at the moment of approaching Ning Lin, thousands of sword shadows were grouped into one place, and this knife was already Sun Yang's strongest blow!
If he is facing a player of the same level, Sun Yang's knife will at least make the opponent avoid it, and he will not dare to face it head-on.
But standing opposite him was Ning Lin, an invincible person below the immortals!
Although this horizontal water blow had some momentum, and Sun Yang's strength was increased by at least four times, Ning Lin only used fifty percent of his strength to meet the broken soldiers!
Although Sun Yang's nine-ring broadsword seems to be strong, it is only a first-level weapon in the final analysis, but the broken soldier intersects with the ninth-level weapon but still has no damage, how can a first-level weapon resist?
The files intersected, and I saw that the nine-ring broadsword actually broke from it, and the tip of the knife flew into the air, and it took a long time to fall!
Sun Yang was holding a half-cut big knife, his face was full of sadness, and he wanted to cry without tears! Maybe this first-class weapon was just garbage in Ning Lin's eyes, but for ordinary martial artists, it was no less than their lives!
Ning Lin looked pitiful to Sun Yang, collected the broken soldiers, and said softly: "Are you willing to join my Ning family's blood ride?"
Sun Yang was stunned for a moment, then his face was full of joy, he didn't want the half of the residual knife in his hand, threw it aside, knelt down in front of Ning Lin with a "plop", and cried with gratitude: "Thank you Master Ning, thank you Master Ning......" After speaking, he kowtowed to Ning Lin on the hard ring. Although he was already a strong man in the bone forging period, he knocked down a few heads, and his forehead was already red and swollen, which showed that he really used his strength.
"Hurry up, please ......get up" Ning Lin is from the earth, and he can't stand others kowtowing to him like this, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Sun Yang with one hand, wanting to pull him up!
At this moment, I saw Sun Yang's face suddenly showing a fierce light, and there was an indescribable hideousness in his eyes......
