On the morning of May 1st, Zhang Yang and everyone waited in the hall of the Soul Master Association, and this time it was Master Zhuge Hong and several soul masters of the Association who led the team. Then everyone got on a large bus and officially started the journey to Huidu.

The Seventh Acropolis is more than 600 kilometers away from the Huidu city-state and is expected to arrive in the afternoon. Zhang Yang was also the first time to go out of the door so far, and he was a little excited.

The bus slowly used the gate of the Seventh Acropolis, Zhang Yang looked back at the gray walls of the Seventh Acropolis that were gradually disappearing, and announced the official start of the trip.

The Acropolis and the capital are connected by a complex network of roads, and as the monsters that have surrounded the human city for more than 100 years have been gradually wiped out, some people have also lived outside the city.

Around the tall city walls, there is a large amount of arable land, which supplies a large amount of food and fruits to the huge cities.

At this time, a young man came over, with the same inch head as Zhang Yang, his eyes were bright, and his blue eyes were a little deep, "Zhang Yang, have you heard that the Federation Army of the Northern Fortress was attacked by the demon beasts in the Northern Forest, and many people died." ”

This young man is also one of the ten places this time, a bit self-acquainted, called Song Bo.

"Really, isn't it true that the demon beast hasn't attacked the border fortress for many years?" Zhang Yang was a little surprised.

Zhuge Yao on the side also came over after hearing it: "It's not all, it is said that many fortresses have found that the activities of demon beasts are becoming more and more frequent, don't you usually watch the news, there have been a lot of such reports recently." ”

Zhang Yang is embarrassed, he is busy training every day, how can he have time to watch the news, at most he chats with He Xiaohe or Zhao Dabao every night, and falls asleep.

None of these teenagers have ever touched the monsters that are there, at most they just go to the museum in the city to see the monster specimens inside, but it is said that some high schools will find some monster corpses for students to use.

There is a hunter union in every city, but only adult soul masters who have reached the age of 16 can register for the Hunter Medal, and soul masters with the hunter badge can go out of the city alone to hunt monsters, and minors are forbidden to go out of the city alone.

Several people got together and chatted, passing the boring time in the car, until about four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone saw through the car window a gray city wall in front of the end, which was the destination of the trip, the Huidu city-state.

The population of the city-state of Huidu is more than 60 million, and there is a protective wall of more than 20 meters high around the city-state, and there is a tower of more than 10 meters high every kilometer on the protective wall.

The Huidu city-state is different from the Acropolis, where many soul masters and ordinary people live together, not as distinct as the Acropolis, the city is divided into many districts, each district is like an independent city, and the innermost is the central area of Huidu, which is the gathering place of the major soul master associations and major federal institutions, managing the entire Huidu region and the eleven Acropolis under it.

As night fell, the real city-state seemed to be really alive The high-rise buildings on both sides of the elevated highway lit up with neon, and the street lamps on the side of the road were bright like a giant dragon. It was nearly seven o'clock.

The bus slowly stopped in front of the door of a building, this is the hotel arranged by the Huidu Soul Master Association, and the soul masters from the Acropolis from all over the city will stay here, waiting for the next arrangement.

Zhang Yang and everyone got out of the car and followed the staff's arrangement into the hotel to check in, while Zhuge Hong contacted the people of the Huidu Soul Master Association on the side.

After a while, Zhuge Hong came to everyone: "After checking in for a while, you will follow a few leading teachers to the restaurant for dinner, and then return to their respective rooms to rest, and they will leave at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

"You are not allowed to run around during the race, and you will be given a few days off after the race, and you will have fun in Huidu before you return. Zhuge Hong looked at the teenagers in front of him who were a little overwhelmed and said with a smile.

"Oh, that's great!"

Later, after following the leading soul master of the Acropolis to the restaurant, Zhang Yang was pulled into her room by Zhuge Yao.

"What's wrong, Sister Yaoyao?" Zhang Yang was a little puzzled, Zhuge Yao was mysterious.

"I actually went to school in Huidu together, and I went back to participate in the selection competition because of the quota for this competition. Zhuge Yao sat on the bed and said to the two.

"Then Sister Yaoyao, why don't you take the exam directly in Huidu?" Shang Pianpian asked, knowing that there are a hundred places in Huidu.

"This is what grandpa meant, just now in the cafeteria, met my classmate, he said that this year's qualifiers are different from the past, the specific rules are not yet known, but he asked me to prepare more in advance. Zhuge Yao said.

Zhang Yang was stunned when he heard this, the general qualifiers should be similar to the previous trials, they are all ring matches, but the players are stronger, I don't know what will change this time.

After discussing for a while, they couldn't come up with a reason, so they could only decide to support each other if something happened, and then return to their respective rooms to wait for tomorrow's game.

Zhang Yang, who returned to the room, reported the safety to his parents and He Xiaohe, sat on the bed and began to meditate and practice, no matter how the competition system changes tomorrow, striving to improve his strength every minute and second is the guarantee of victory.

The next day, the players waited in the lobby of the hotel early in the morning for the next arrangement, at this time there were hundreds of people in the hall, all of whom were selected by other Acropolis, and at this moment there were many opponents looking at each other, and then the staff arranged for everyone to get on three buses.

As the car turned on, someone noticed that something was wrong, how did the car look like it was driving out of the city? Someone asked the staff, but the staff only asked the players to do a good job, but did not answer.

When the three buses came to the north gate of Huidu, Zhang Yang saw through the window that there were several federal military vehicles parked on the side of the road in front of the gate, and behind the military vehicles were five federal military trucks, which were used to transport troops.

As the cars of the contestants moved out of the city, the federal convoy parked on the side of the road slowly followed behind the bus, and the players in the car instantly exploded and discussed.

"Quiet! This is the normal arrangement of the game, so you don't need to panic!" the staff on the bus comforted the players in the car.

"It seems that something has really changed, you two are smarter when you two turn around. Zhuge Yao whispered to Zhang Yang and Shang Pianpian beside him.

The two of them nodded when they heard this, and then stopped talking, since the competition was arranged, it was not their turn to worry about it, and if they came, they would be safe, and they would just adapt to the situation.

The convoy of three buses and a dozen federal troops drove for about two hours on the road outside Huidu before turning left onto a small road that, although still concrete, looked cracked and looked like it hadn't been maintained for a long time.

Along this path, the convoy continued to drive for about two hours, and suddenly a huge city ruin appeared in front of it, in front of which there were many military tents, and as the convoy drove in, several people came out of the tent area to meet them.

The convoy slowly stopped in a temporary parking lot on the side of the tent area, and then everyone was arranged to get off the vehicle.

The contestants looked at the dense military tents around them and the huge ruins of the city in the distance, and they were a little confused, not knowing why they were here.

The people who came to meet them led 110 contestants to the open space in front of the parking lot, and then 100 people of similar age also walked out of their respective tents and stood next to them.

Dozens of meters of staff stood in front of them, and Zhang Yang found that the master was actually in this group, and it seemed that he was one step ahead of him.

Out of the crowd in front of him was an old man with gray hair, about 6 or 70 years old, slightly hunchbacked.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Deming, and I am the president of the Huidu Martial Soul Association. I know you are all puzzled why you are here, at the request of the Speaker of the Federation, the Soul Master competition system will be close to actual combat, so it has been decided that the qualifiers for this junior soul master competition will be held in the form of a survival challenge!"

"The ruins next to us, which was originally an acropolis, was abandoned after being breached by monsters thirty years ago, the organizing committee of the competition placed ten signal transmitters in this ruin, what you need to do is to look for the signal transmitter in the city in the next five days, and then there will be staff to issue you signal receivers, only within 200 meters of the close, you will receive the location of the transmitter. ”

"Five days later, at 12 noon, the competition is officially over, and the players who get the signal transmitter will advance directly, if all ten signals are not found, the number of points killed by the players will determine the vacant places!"

"Demon beast?" There were many questioning voices among the students in an instant.

"Yes, demon beasts, there are still surviving demon beasts in the city, but the demon beasts above the second order have already been cleaned up by us, you can rest assured. Xiao Deming said.

"Oh my God, isn't this just going to our deaths!" one player shouted.

"The soul master itself is a profession that fights with demon beasts, and the duty of our soul master is also to destroy demon beasts and protect human beings! With the peace of these decades, many people have long forgotten how to fight demon beasts, once those demon beasts in the deep mountains fight back against humans, how to resist when the time comes!

I'm sure many of you have heard about a certain fortress in the north being besieged by monsters not long ago, and the monsters everywhere are now showing signs of abnormal activity, so don't think that the war is far away from us! This is one of the reasons why the Federation Headquarters decided to change the rules of the tournament.

Of course, you have the right to opt out of the competition, and those who quit will be eliminated directly. Give you three minutes to think about it, and the players who quit will step out of the line and step aside, and someone will send you back to the city later.

Players who choose to continue to participate in the competition, then hand over your mobile phones and other personal belongings, and then you will be issued a federal military long knife, and players with Horcruxes cannot use Horcruxes above the second order! You can't kill players! The rest of the means are not limited!"

After the old man finished speaking, more than a dozen players withdrew from the team one after another and stood aside.

Zhang Yang was also very nervous standing in the team, after all, it would take five days to be in the city, and there would still be demon beasts.
