Chapter 14: The Contest Begins
The next day, the people who had rested for the day got up early in the morning. Under the leadership of the head of the twilight wind, one by one they were in high spirits and headed towards the martial arts arena of the Water Sect. One by one, they were all talking with great interest about how they wanted to get the rankings and achieve good results. We had a lot of fun.
At this time, Zhu Yuan, his parents, and the head of Twilight Wind all looked a little worried. Because, yesterday, after everyone left, the head of Twilight left Zhu Yuan and them all behind to talk about some matters.
The protagonists of this conference are no longer those monks of the Bigu period, if it is placed in the past, only the monks of the Bigu period will participate in the competition, they are the future of the sect, they are the hope, and naturally they are also the protagonists. But this time was different, and according to reliable sources, the Demon Dao Monk was unprecedentedly powerful this time. Not only are there a lot of them, but they are also extremely powerful. Some time ago, he killed many mortals and a large number of monks, and refined extraordinary magic weapons, which were extremely powerful. Moreover, there have been changes in the demon clan recently. It seems that they also sensed that the contradictions between human beings have intensified again, and they have begun to move.
Therefore, this time, all the Jindan monks were asked to participate in the competition. It is to select some strong people to serve as commanders and lead everyone to exterminate the demon monks in one fell swoop. Moreover, in order to prevent the news from leaking, the heads of the various sects jointly decided not to return to the sect, so they directly set out together as monks to exterminate the demon monks in one fell swoop. Because if you go back to the sect to redeploy and arrange, you still have to stay in the sect to keep most of the monks. In this case, there will be no more Jindan monks who can participate in the encirclement and suppression. And if you really need to send more monks, you can also send them a message to tell them to be careful. Don't be discovered. Because, in such a large-scale decisive battle. The one who can really exert his strength and decide the outcome of the war is just a monk of the Jindan period. As for those monks of the Bigu period, they were barely able to fight with the monks of the Jindan period with the help of the formation.
According to the head of Twilight, this time the conference can only rely on Zhu Yuan and them. They can't weaken the name of one of the three major sects of the Qingyun Sect. These are all questions of face. Moreover, Zhu Yuan and they all broke through not long ago. Unlike other sects, all of them are Jindan monks who have broken through for a long time. Therefore, the head of Twilight Wind does not expect Zhu Yuan to achieve any good rankings, as long as he is not the first from the bottom.
Soon, everyone came to the martial arts arena. The martial arts arena of the Lishui Sect is very broad. Everyone saw from afar, and there were no more, no less, and there were just ten rings on the huge field. There was a long pavilion right in front of the ten rings, and it was filled with tables and chairs. More than a dozen people were already sitting in the pavilion. From the long pavilion, you can see all ten rings. It is a great place to watch the competition. In the square below, however, there were hundreds of monks standing scattered.
"You all wait here, I'll go to the upper pavilion with Senior Brother Rufeng first. After entering the square, Defeng Zhenren instructed the monks of the Bigu period.
"Yes. Master. "Those monks from the Bigu period are also coming here for the first time, and they are not familiar with it. Hearing Twilight's orders, they all had to do as they were.
Immediately, the head of Twilight Wind took Zhu Yuan and Zhu Rufeng and his wife to the long pavilion together. They were supposed to have come early, but they didn't expect some to come earlier.
After a while, one after another the sects came here, and soon, everyone arrived.
At this time, the real people of Tamai, who had been in the martial arts arena for a while, saw that the number of people had arrived. Thereupon. Walk up to the stage and prepare to call the conference open.
"Fellow travelers, I think everyone has also heard from their respective leaders, and now our situation is not optimistic. So. We decided to start the race as soon as possible. I'm not going to be verbose, but let's read out the rules of the game. Tamai said straight to the point. Then the rules of the competition were introduced. Since most of the Bigu period monks who participated in the competition came to the Lishui Sect for the first time. Therefore, Tamai Zhencai has to introduce the rules of the competition one by one.
There are more than 300 large and small sects from Mercury. There are only a few dozen sects that are qualified to be invited to participate in the Immortal Cultivator Conference. Each sect has monks from the Bigu period participating in the competition. Among them, the large sects gave five places, and the medium sects gave three places. The small sects only have one place. There are only three major sects that have a full ten places. The total number of monks in the Bigu period of these sects is not one thousand, but also eight hundred. There were nearly 200 monks participating in the competition. Therefore, the conference competition was held in ten rings at the same time. Two monks were selected from each of the ten rings. A total of twenty strongest monks were selected. Then, these twenty people participated in the final competition, and the strongest three were selected to receive the final reward. The most difficult competition is in the ring closest to the long pavilion. In this way, the competition is divided into two types: preliminary round and semi-final.
Due to the large number of people in the preliminary round, all the people who signed up for the competition were immediately placed in the ring, which was divided into ten rings. The order of the game is then posted at the front of each ring. For participants to consult at any time. So at the beginning, I will leave some time for everyone to find their own venue. Even if you don't find it for a while, it's your turn to race. At that time, there will be a supervisor calling you. So, you don't have to worry about missing the game and not being able to participate.
After some searching, Zhang Dongyue and Tian Xin'er finally found the ring where they were. Zhang Dongyue was in the No. 1 ring, which was the closest ring to Li Changting. Tian Xin'er is in the fifth ring. Coincidentally, Mulian is also in the fifth ring. In short, all the monks were immediately sorted, and it was difficult for many of the strongest to be in the same ring. Generally speaking, the twenty monks selected in this way are the strongest twenty.
Because there are 80 people participating in each ring, only two people can be selected in each ring. So, the competition is still very fierce. The competition was much fiercer than the selection of ten disciples in the Qingyun Sect.
Zhang Dongyue and the others carefully watched the chronology of the game, and only Zhang Dongyue had the game arranged on the first day, and it was still arranged in the afternoon. Tian Xin'er and Mu Lian's matches were on the second and third days respectively.
So the three of them discussed, on the first morning, they would take turns in the No. 1 and No. 5 rings to see everyone's overall strength, and then accompany Zhang Dongyue to participate in the afternoon competition in the afternoon. On the second and third days, he accompanied Tian Xin'er and Mulian to compete in the No. 5 ring respectively. Since these disciples of the Bigu period can only watch from the audience, if they want to watch the game, they can only watch it under the ring. Unlike Zhu Yuan, who can see all the matches in the ring below on the long pavilion, he doesn't have to worry about bad weather conditions such as wind and rain. This really made Tian Xin'er, who was watching the game from the audience, jealous.
At this moment, Zhu Yuan also came to them and watched the game with them.
"How comfortable you look on it, how do you come down and do it?" Tian Xin'er said sourly, feeling as if she had a stomach full of grievances.
"Didn't I come down to accompany you to the competition?" Zhu Yuan explained with a smile.
"Who is rare!" Although Tian Xin'er said this, she was still happy in her heart. The smile in the corner of her eye betrayed her mood at this time.
......
Zhu Yuan didn't care about her, so he watched the game with them under the No. 1 ring.
"After watching the previous games, I think it is absolutely fine for Brother Dong Yue to enter the top 10 in the preliminary round, and it is a bit troublesome to get into the top two. "Zhu Yuan's as a monk of the Jindan period, his eyes are so vicious, and he can see the level of these monks in front of him at a glance. Zhang Dongyue's strength is in the forefront, but it is difficult to say whether those monks have any other hole card means. As long as he is not careless, it is no problem for Zhang Dongyue to enter the top ten, and if you want to go one step closer, you need to work hard, and it is not impossible to do it. But if you want to get into the top two, you need to have an absolute advantage to be sure. After all, this is a gathering of elites, all of whom are elites. Most of them were monks like Zhang Dongyue and others in the middle and late stages of Bigu. Even if there were a few monks in the early stage of Bigu, they were all superior in other aspects. Or the magic weapon is powerful, or the exercise is powerful, or there are other secret techniques, or with the help of puppets, spirit beasts, etc., it is different.
With Mulian's strength, it is no problem to enter the top two, or even the top three in the semi-finals. And Tian Xin'er is also talented, and it is not difficult to enter the top three in the final competition. Only Zhang Dongyue's investment is average, and the magic weapon can be regarded as a high-grade magic weapon. It's not easy to get into the top three. Because, all the contestants who came to participate here have outstanding points.
Soon, it was afternoon. Finally, it was Zhang Dongyue's turn to play.
It was only when Zhang Dongyue came to the stage to compete that he finally met his opponent, and he was also an ordinary opponent. Nothing special. It should be a disciple of a small sect. Sure enough, as Zhu Yuan expected, Zhang Dongyue easily won the game. Moreover, Zhang Dongyue only used a medium-grade flying sword magic weapon, and won without even using his own shield and stick-like magic weapon.
This made Zhang Dongyue, who was still a little nervous at the beginning of the stage, finally relax his mood. This first round of the competition is over, and now we are waiting for the end of the first round of the competition and the second round of the competition. The rest of the time, they looked elsewhere and watched the other players play. Because there are a lot of people here, there are also a lot of sects. You can see the fighting styles of different monks and different genres. It really opened Zhu Yuan's eyes. I also learned a lot while watching the game, and it was a great event. All kinds of exercises and secret techniques collide and merge here. Then a new method is formed. It also allows the monks to broaden their horizons and learn a lot of things that they have not seen before. (To be continued......)
