Chapter 237: The State Race Begins

"I won't make a pact with you without you swearing." Ding Kui looked at Xun Le calmly.

Xun Le's heart tightened, and he asked unwillingly: "Then what do you want me to do to believe it?"

"I will do my best for every opponent, whether it is Yang Ling or you, so you don't have to worry that I will release water to Yang Ling. On the contrary, you need to worry that Yang Ling will stay against you, and his schedule is the most unfavorable, and he may join forces with you. ”

Ding Kui's strong self-confidence convinced Xun Le that what he said was true.

"Yang Ling will not stay in the face of you. Xun Le shook his head, "Okay, I understand what you mean, I wish you good luck and be able to defeat Yang Ling." Looking forward to playing it out with you in the final group game. ”

Ding Kui took the initiative to stretch out his hand and wanted to shake hands with Xun Le, but Xun Le didn't understand this etiquette, thinking that he was going to high-five, so he slapped his hand, making Ding Kui cry and laugh.

If he hadn't fallen asleep so early, Ding Kui would have had the opportunity to wander the streets and be surprised to find a scene that was extremely similar to the earth.

Just like squatting in the middle of the night to buy tickets and queuing up overnight to buy train tickets, a long queue appeared in front of the "Great Performance Wutai" in the middle of the night. More than 2,000 people came to the entrance in advance to set up bunks in order to rush to the venue.

Without industrialized production, it is difficult to manufacture tickets with anti-counterfeiting, and the magicians of the Shenyuan Continent do not have time to mark the tickets of the Knight Contest with anti-counterfeiting logos, so there is no such thing as tickets. Only the VIP box will give some tokens as tickets, and the identity of the purchaser will be recorded.

After dawn, more and more people rushed to the "Great Performance Martial Stage", and the guards here had long been prepared for the grand event once every four years, planting colorful flags as a turning point, so that the crowd in line was like a dragon coiled on the pillar, and lined up in a dense line in the open space outside the "Great Performance Martial Stage".

When the contestants and VIPs arrived, a large group of city defense troops came to the "Great Exercise Martial Stage" to assist the officials of the Zhennan City Public Security Bureau in maintaining order.

On either side of the runner's passage and the VIP passage, every five meters stood a heavily armed soldier with a spear, who turned their backs to the passage and watched vigilantly at the people who tried to approach. Anyone who is unknown approaches the cordon of the city defense army and enters a 10-meter attack range will be stopped by the officers, and if they dare to go any further, they will be attacked by the spears of at least two soldiers.

Civilians who come to see the hustle and bustle will not risk their lives to approach the cordon, but at most there will be some enthusiastic supporters who will throw the prepared flowers at their favorite players. Of course, if you dare to throw something aggressive, the city defenders will rally and charge at you.

Ding Kui, Ji Xing behind him received a lot of flowers thrown at him.

"Hey, being tall means being popular. Ding Kui spoke sourly.

"I'm taller than Brother Xing, why didn't anyone throw flowers to me?" Ba Xi at the back of the line understood, and was the first to express his dissatisfaction.

Shanyou was amused and said, "Just like you, no matter how tall you are a meter, no one will throw flowers to you." ”

"Poof," Ji Xing, who had always maintained his might, laughed, causing a group of girls around him to scream, "If Ba Xi is one meter taller, is he still a human? taller than the 'Rock-Skinned Violent Bear'." Brother is handsome, and it has nothing to do with height. ”

"It seems that I don't look bad, but we are still the seeded players of Pingzhong County. Ding Kui turned around and gave Ji Xing a pair of health balls.

"Hahaha, Shizi, you are two years younger than us, and the girl who likes you is not so bold to come out to send flowers, which is different from Brother Ji's situation. Xu Yan couldn't help but explain to Ding Kui.

When another player with a body of more than two meters appeared, the people who had no hope of entering the arena gathered around and broke out into a loud voice.

Ding Kui, who stepped into the door of the passage with one foot, glanced back, his face was full of envy, jealousy and hatred, shook his head and sighed: "Sure enough, it's because of the height, the height like me is the standard, it's too tall to kiss it." ”

"Hahaha. Not only the players from Pingzhong County, but also the players from other counties who heard Ding Kui's words before and after laughed.

Walking into the venue, the sound of the audience inside was quieter than outside, and Ding Kui didn't study clearly what the structural principle of this building was last time.

This time, the stands and VIP boxes were full, and it was more like a sporting event than during the county race. The supporters of each county were distinct, and they gathered together to cheer on their players.

"Old Qian, did you come to see the game in person this time?" Ding Cai said with a smile on his face.

"The state competition is still a bit interesting, and some news can only be obtained by watching the competition. Learn more, pay attention to the details in the venue, and don't keep your eyes on beautiful women. The old man couldn't help but teach Ding Kui a lesson.

"Hmph, pretend, if you don't pretend, you'll die. ”

There is only one person who dares to question the old money like this, and that is Ding Kun.

"Hehe, Xiao Kun, I can't compare to you in terms of strength, but if I can beat you in terms of eyesight, what are you not convinced. The old man squinted at Ding Kun.

"Hehe, the 'Soul Breaking Chasing Arrow' is not for Lang to be famous, here is indeed the strongest eyesight of Senior Qian. ”

Ding Kun looked at Lu Ji in surprise and asked, "You know, when did you find out about the old money?"

"After the battle of Funiu Mountain, your name was dug up, how could you lack the 'Soul Breaking Arrow' if you have the 'Grip of Death'. Anyway, I stepped down from the position of the Great Commander of the Golden Waterway, and it was not difficult to know the names of the two seniors. "Rukey didn't dare to be rude to his two nominal subordinates of his apprentice.

In the army, when Ding Kun and Qian Buwei shook the enemy country, Lu Ji had not yet joined the army. By the time Rocky became a recruit, the names "Death's Grip" and "Soulbreaker's Arrow" were already thunderous, and they were among the most talked about figures in the Soldier's mouth compared to other unbeatable peaks.

Feng Liang took Zheng Yun and them to sit in another box, and the pressure was great with the teacher, and they were willing to get together by themselves.

"Senior brother, the junior brother's grouping is not ideal, can he successfully qualify from the group stage?" Zheng Yun asked a few other questions that he wanted to ask.

"I don't know the strength of Xun Le and Yang Ling, only after watching their game today, can I make a judgment. Now that I'm sparring with the little junior brother, I'm getting more and more struggling, if those two aren't particularly perverted, the little junior brother should be able to win. Feng Liang was quite cautious in his words.

"Senior sister, I heard that you are about to be promoted to Blade Knight, I trained with you about the same time, and now the distance between me and you is getting bigger and bigger. Lin Bi, who was still a mid-term trainee knight, was both envious and ashamed.

"It's true that we are only one step away from qualifying, and if we are fast, we will be able to qualify within a month. Zheng Yun nodded.

"Haha, I broke through when I first arrived in Zhennan City, and now I'm a Blade Knight. Zeng Jian said proudly that he, Nie Ling, and Shi Li were all mixed with Ding Kui's fellow disciples.

Nie Ling looked Zeng Jian up and down and asked, "Why haven't I heard you mention it, if Lin Xuemei doesn't mention this topic, how long do you plan to hide it?"

"You're similar to us, can you actually reach the third-level combat power one step ahead, and can you continue to be good friends?" Xu Bin said depressedly.

"Hahaha, when this kid was just promoted, he was cleaned up by the junior brother, if he tells you, he will have to tell you about it. Feng Liang couldn't help but laugh when he remembered Zeng Jian challenging Ding Kui.

"Is that so?", "Is there such a thing?", "Tell us about it, big brother. ”

The focus of the friends' curiosity was not Zeng Jian's promotion, but how he was cleaned up by Ding Kui.

"What, I tied with Little Nail and didn't decide the winner, how can I say that I was cleaned up by him?" Zeng Jian blushed.

"All of your 'Doutian Sword' tricks have been blocked by the junior brother, and you will definitely be defeated if you make one more move. If I'm not mistaken, you're saying that you're in a good mood and want to go back to your room to have fun for a while, so you won't fight. Feng Liang smiled.

"Hahaha, do you always call you 'cheap brother', you are really enough...... Ahem, ah, that. I think I can think of your expression at the time, and it really fits this title. After speaking, Nie Ling covered her mouth and smiled.

"Alright, stop laughing at him, the game is about to begin. Shi Li was also listening and laughing, but more attention was paid to the ring inside the ring.

The county race is a city match, while the state race has a slightly different draw pattern, except for the first and second seeds, the other players are numbered according to the strength prediction given by the riding division.

In the first round, the No. 1 seeds from each group will be played.

The opening scene is a big play, Jiang Cao, Long Tan, Xun Le, Yang Zhan, You Tai, Gan Zong, Gongsun Qi, Mao Cang, Ximenze, and Chong Yi appeared at the same time, and they played against the players who were considered the weakest in the same group.

The stands are not divided into seat numbers, and the spectators who enter the stadium basically know which ring they want to see the players in, and they tend to concentrate on the area closest to the ring;

Lang is naturally the loudest of the three popular cheers, followed by Gongsun Qi, Xun Le, You Tai and Chong Yi. Unlike most of the one-sided cheers in the county competition, even the weakest player in the state competition has the audience from the same county cheering, so as soon as the players enter the ring, the whole "big performance martial arts platform" begins to boil.

There is a reason why the state competition is better than the county competition, ten rings are fighting at the same time, and the long swords of the twenty players immediately turn red, all of them are blade knights, and in terms of visual impact alone, the excitement is visible to the naked eye.

None of the players from Pingzhong County made it to the first round, and although there were no first-seeded players, none of them were considered the weakest players in the group, which was in line with their status in Zhongwangzhou.

Ding Kui's eyes looked at the No. 1 ring, he cared about Jiang ** and Xun Le more, firstly, Jiang Cao was his cousin, and secondly, Jiang Cao was still one of the three favorites of this year.
