Chapter 60: The First Martial Arts Conference (4)
The backlash of bad karma is even more terrifying than Lin Dao imagined. Even if he used the contemplation of the innate treasure to burn with the nirvana fire on the nirvana light cocoon, those red dust threads were still endless, endless.
Transformed into a flawless Dao heart as crystal clear as a diamond, it continued to make Lin Dao's Dao heart begin to be covered with dust and fall into endless desires and fantasies as the red dust silk threads increased.
Fortunately, the tree of the soul condensed by the cultivation of the mind is the nemesis of desires and distractions, and can be absorbed as nourishment for growth.
Therefore, Lin Dao was able to keep his mind and meditate, and with the help of the fire of Nirvana, he burned all the desires and distractions in his heart.
The Tree of the Soul, on the other hand, gained unimaginable resources in this catastrophe and absorbed a large number of droplets that emitted pink light quenched from the red dust threads, and began to grow visibly with the naked eye.
Although the benefits were great, Lin Dao was also forced into retreat under the pressure of negative karma.
............
In the first round of elimination, a total of ten times were opened, and each opening time was a five-day wild regional 100-person melee, and the last ten people who survived were promoted.
However, in the end, the number of participants in the second round of the knockout round was only 10,562, and 238 people abandoned the tournament due to injuries.
In the first round of the preliminary round, 100 people will compete in the regional melee, and only the top 10 will advance each time. In this round, the test is whether the strength and luck of the players are strong.
In the eyes of ordinary people, good luck does not equal strength, that is called shit luck. But at the level of Lindao, people who are lucky, as long as their qualifications are not too bad, they are not strong in their determination to die, and they can go to the end of any industry.
As for the loser in that sour tone, he said: "That guy is lucky." In my case, I could have done better than him. ”
However, the real reality is that people always look at the person who succeeds, whether he risks climbing over the cliff or lies down to win.
Just like the first round of elimination, the stronger ones don't necessarily have the last laugh. If you are lucky, you can't always be so lucky.
The second round is a litmus test, seize the opportunity, soar into the sky, and advance to the finals.
If the strength cannot be crushed, and the luck cannot be blessed, they will encounter the catastrophe they face.
At this point, it can be understood by looking at the fact that among the 10,000 players who advanced to the second round, there are still nearly a third of the foreign participants.
The practice of national arts originated in China, there is no difference in cultural understanding, and the practice environment and teachers are even more top, but they still only account for two-thirds of the total number of talents, and foreign players also account for one-third of the top talents.
In Lin Dao's eyes, geniuses and demons are all existences with "plug-ins", and they have spent their lives in hanging and pretending, until they meet another guy who is more "open-hanging" and more violated, they will hand over everything they have and turn into the other party's resources to climb the peak.
As Zhang Qifeng, who has been following Lin Dao for the longest time, he was appointed by the chief as the general leader of the second round of elimination.
Even if he had already seen a demon king like Lin Dao who was beyond the common sense of the world, he was still shocked.
Yes, in the process of watching the second round of elimination, Zhang Qifeng was shocked by several demons who were also inhuman.
Every one of these people is not very old, and none of them is more than thirty years old. But their current martial arts realm, all of them have stepped into Ninggang, and the strongest has already completed the inner gang, and they are only one step away from entering the highest realm of the original national art cultivation, "the flesh body is vajra, and the gods are not bad".
You must know that with Zhang Qifeng's genius-like qualifications, after healing the dark wounds in his body, under the guidance of Lin Dao from time to time, it took ten years to step into the threshold of seeing gods in half a step.
But that was after Zhang Qifeng's own accumulation, the potential exploded. This has to get the cultivation resources given by Lin Dao in order to make great strides forward.
But these people obviously can't have Zhang Qifeng's own situation, but in a very short period of time, they have passed the realm that most martial artists may not be able to achieve in their lifetime.
The second round of knockout is a one-on-one knockout match, with a total of three games, and the loser is eliminated directly, and there is no repechage.
The competition venue is no longer a melee in the wild area, but a ring match, and the whole process is broadcast live to ensure fairness and justice.
As for how each pair of players is determined, a slot-like lottery is conducted. The first candidate will be selected by the head of each branch.
Then, the player who is selected will draw lots on his own to determine the opponent he will face. The first choice in the next group is drawn by the winners of the previous group.
Each arena is composed of players who advanced in the previous round, and in the end, only three people from each arena can advance to the semi-finals of the Imperial Palace.
In the second round of elimination, as long as you survive to the third round, you will have the opportunity to enter the Guoshu Academy to study.
Those who survive the fourth round and above are eligible to enter the secret realm for one month, and the 324 people who enter the semi-finals can enter the secret realm for three months.
In the semi-finals, the rules of the tournament changed again. On the home field of the competition, there will be 32 rings, which will be guarded by 32 champions, and if you win five games in a row, you will be able to advance to the finals.
At the same time, in addition to the 324 promoters selected in the two rounds of elimination, as long as the national art realm reaches the Baodan realm, they can all compete for the champion on stage.
In the final final, there are no referees, no rules, and there are no restrictions except that you can't deliberately kill people.
Therefore, the finalists, regardless of age or cultivation, have only one rule: the winner is king.
Even the leaders and elders of the various factions who originally served as referees in various arenas, as well as the heads and elders of the various factions who guarded the feng shui arrays in various places, would compete for the thirty-two finals.
As a result, the 324 semi-finalists selected will compete with the older generation of martial arts masters for tickets to the finals.
Most of their original proud peers will no longer be advantageous. The difference in age makes most of them stop in the semi-finals.
However, in the information collected by Zhang Qifeng, among the martial arts masters of the new generation, there are at least fifteen people who can compete with the older generation for thirty-two finals.
First of all, it is the rising rookie of Huaguo, Zhang Yifan of Xingyimen, Qingyu Xiaodao of Wudang School, Xinzen monk of Shaolin Temple, Li Shu, the successor of Bajiquan, Guo Kai of Bagua Gate, Chen Yuanwu of Chenjiagou, and Huang Shihu, the grandmaster of Nanquan.
Then, there are the rising rookies of the Wa Kingdom, Miyamoto Kenxiu, Yanagi Kennan, Kim Ho-woo, the successor of the Yiqi Gate of the Goryeo Kingdom, the ancient Muay Thai master Zanba Song, and the Indian ancient yoga master Samir Aragon.
Then there are the trusted heirs of King Arthur, also known as Altoria Pendragon in the United Kingdom, Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov, the frost bear of Russia, and Howard Stephenk, the superhero of the United States.
As for the many disciples of the Lin Clan's Martial Arts Hall, although more than a dozen of them reached the semi-finals, they did not have a glimmer of hope that they would be able to advance to the finals.
Among the older generation, except for those who are too old to participate, those under the age of forty-five who have stepped into Danjin all want to get a place in the finals.
Some martial arts masters who had long disappeared in the national martial arts circle, top killers and top mercenaries who were active in the international arena began to prepare for the finals after confirming the announcement of the finals of the martial arts conference.
As the ultimate BOOS, Lin Dao, after nearly two months of adaptation, Dao Xin was finally able to avoid the influence of bad karma.
After this opportunity, the Spiritual Tree of Lindao finally grew to three feet six inches, and divided into three branches, each of which was covered with nine crystalline leaves like jade, and the surface of the leaves was densely covered with golden mysterious textures.
