Chapter Seventy-Six: Three Rounds of Preliminary Rounds
Jiu Lao Tang
In the afternoon, the scores of all the candidates were finally counted.
The big and small senior sisters were not surprised to get the sixth stage of the secret technique. Yi Chi also successfully came back with the sixth stage of the physical technique.
Next, it's time for Bai Lingyu to appear.
Because of the tight time, the new single confrontation and double confrontation in this big exam will have to play three rounds of preliminary matches today to determine the top six and eight groups of players in tomorrow's main competition respectively.
The competition is a competition of strength, and those who dare to sign up are self-aware candidates. Among the 48 singles players, the lowest is also at the level of four dan or more. His Royal Highness and Bai Lingyu were the only two who did not participate in the fixed-stage test.
Xiaobai naturally disdained to participate in the fixed section, and the Fourth Highness did not participate in the big exam three years ago. But when it comes to real strength, both of them can easily obtain the seventh-stage rank.
But it's hard to go any further. After all, the Great Lan Kingdom is full of secret and physical talents. In the nine-stage system, there are still many masters who are loyal to the prime minister.
As for the rules, the prince and the handsome prince were specially invited by the hall master to add glory to the big exam. Seeing their names on the group list in a grand manner, the candidates who registered in advance naturally did not dare to say anything, and could only sigh to themselves that they were unlucky.
Jiu Lao Hall, back hall
The supervisor in charge of the grouping of the contestants is the director of Wei sent by the Prime Minister's Office. At this moment, he was curling his eyebrows and questioning the clerks in the room.
"What's going on? How could the people of the Nine Old Hall and the Great Marshal's Mansion be combined? Or are they two six-sections? Who recorded it? Why didn't they report it!"
Several subordinates whispered back tremblingly: "Originally, only sixty-three groups of players were received to sign up for the doubles competition, and the small ones were worried about the schedule, and it happened that this player came in at the last moment to sign up." Only...... I filled it in for him. ”
Director Wei snorted angrily, pondered for a while, and suddenly became a little overjoyed, and immediately took the mark representing the group of players from the position of the group seed and placed it in the group where the Prime Minister's Mansion team was.
He had faith. There was already an arrangement in the house, and the single race was left to the four princes and Bai Lingyu to mess around, and the five-person race had to be tacitly conceded to the eldest prince's Yulin army. But on the doubles side, the prime minister is bound to win the championship.
This year, the two groups of extremely powerful mystics sent by Fuzhong, especially the twins, are the most sure to win, and their true level is close to the eighth rank.
Kill the combination of Dashuaifu and Jiulaotang, and the two groups of players in the palace will be able to ensure that they will enter tomorrow's main match.
Of course, since Jiu Lao Tang gave an excuse, the prime minister would definitely tell the hall head afterwards. Thinking of being able to make such a contribution by the way, the corners of Director Wei's mouth couldn't help but show a sinister smile.
"Yi Chi, autumn dyeing. Thank you for your help. ”
Jiulao Hall, martial arts arena
The singles and doubles will start at the same time, and the time will definitely be stretched until late at night. However, Bai Lingyu didn't have to do anything, and won three victories early.
He was proudly trying to find Bai Ye to watch other competitions together, but suddenly found that Bai Ye and Linglan were running out of the field in a hurry with a little disciple of the Nine Old Sect.
Xiaobai chuckled in his heart and hurriedly chased after him. Only then did they learn that Xiao Ye had just learned that Yi Chi had falsely reported the name of the senior sister and signed up for the doubles competition.
Bai Ye was so anxious that he was sweating. His brother knows it himself, don't look at Yi Chi's sullen weekdays, and his mind is very right. But this time it's too nonsense. It's not enough to take six dans, why do you have to play a doubles match? Senior sister has been with everyone all the time, does he want to do it himself?
The words of the little disciple who came to report the news surprised everyone even more. According to him, Yi Chi had already passed the first round with his bow fighting skills. It is said that at the beginning, Lianzhu shot at the heads of the two mystic opponents, so there was no need to continue.
As soon as Bai Lingyu knew the news that Xiao Yi had participated in the two-person confrontation, he reacted. The new brother deliberately chose the doubles event, which is much more difficult, because he participated in the singles event.
He was so angry that he swore as he ran, but everyone understood. Xiaobai was embarrassed, he didn't care about the final reward, but this younger brother always thought so much.
"Can you find the hall master to discuss, change my name, and let's just plan together." ”
The senior sister followed behind Bai Lingyu unhurriedly, and said lightly: "Since my name was reported, then it is naturally me who is behind, and you don't care." ”
The friends rushed to the martial arts arena on a rampage. The disciple guarding the door didn't think about stopping it at all, and turned to the side a little and let a few people in.
But it was still a step too late, and Yi Chi and two opponents were already in the field.
Seeing Bai Ye's nervous appearance, Yi Chi, who was carrying a short bow, smiled easily, but his eyes were very resolute.
Senior Sister hesitated for a moment and looked at Bai Ye. Xiao Ye sighed and said softly, "Let him come by himself." I believe in Him. We all have to believe in Him. ”
The onlookers in the field were full of doubts and whispered:
"Why is there only one person over there? Is it possible that you want to give up the game?"
"These two just won a game here. You've seen it too. Who can beat them......"
Bai Ye couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this, and then he remembered to take a look at Xiao Yi's opponent.
The other party turned out to be two twins who were exactly the same in height, physique, and dress. is not very old, but his aura is not small.
If this kind of twin brothers go into battle together, they will inevitably cooperate and have a tacit understanding, and it will definitely be difficult to entangle. Xiao Yi is just one person, in such a small venue......
Before the thought was finished, the gong for the start of the race had already sounded.
Almost at the same time, Otchi spread his arms flat.
Jiang Jinglan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly noticed that the strings on the short bow in his hand were trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but let out a "huh".
Almost all of them didn't see what was happening. The twin mystics on the other side hadn't reacted yet. After a while, they touched their heads at the same time.
At the same time as the gong sounded, the two of them had already been hit by arrows.
The two mystics wiped a handful of chalk powder from their heads in disbelief, and then glared at the referee outside the arena in annoyance.
Several elders spread their hands, and the young archer was indeed moving faster, but it was also true that the arrow was fired after the gong sounded. If you want to blame, you can only blame the mystic brother for being a little overbearing. If it were real arrows, they wouldn't just be a matter of injury.
Although the mystic brother has not been famous for a long time, he is already a rising star in the imperial capital. As soon as he came up, he was caught off guard by Yichi, and he naturally couldn't hang on his face. The two people who have the same mind have a horizontal heart, and they will work at the same time.
An earthy yellow halo burst out of their bodies in an instant, and a series of dragon-shaped spiritual power like a substance appeared out of thin air, intertwined and hovering around the two brothers.
The ground under his feet trembled, and in the rumbling sound, there seemed to be some behemoth, about to arch through the paved spirit nest stone and burrow into the ground.
Bai Ye and Bai Lingyu looked at each other in shock. Twin spirits?
Jiang Jinglan, who had woken up, didn't do it. No matter what you say, the winner is decided. At this time, you have to do what is going on.
Her voice was also loud, and she shocked the audience with a roar.
"Stinky and shameless!"
The onlookers laughed, regardless of the identities of the players on the field, and followed suit. In the midst of the noise, Yi Chi put down the short bow with a blank face.
The senior sister had a solemn face and was about to step into the field. The corners of the sleeves were pulled.
Bai Ye shook his head behind her, motioning for her not to move yet.
The ground of the martial arts arena is like a roaring ocean, and layers of waves are constantly surging. Yi Chi has long been unable to stand on his feet, but he is stubbornly holding the bow and not making a move.
The momentum of the onlookers gradually weakened. After all, they are the celebrities of the Prime Minister's Mansion, except for Jiang Jinglan, there are a few who dare to come out and offend them.
Bai Lingyu's face was pale, and his clenched fists made a gurgling sound. Just before he couldn't help but rush out, the Nine Old Hall Master actually floated silently again.
The referee, who hesitated for a long time, received an affirmative signal from the hall master, and finally made a move.
The stone floor of the Spirit Nest suddenly emitted a brighter and brighter cyan light. After a while, the martial arts arena returned to calm, and the surging earth-based spiritual power cast by the twin mystics was all sucked up at once.
With the support of the hall master, the black-robed elders who appeared out of nowhere surrounded the two of them. The hideous young man was suppressed by his spiritual power, and he was furious but there was nothing he could do. A farce was abruptly stopped.
The hall master came to Bai Ye's side, his face was as usual, but his tone was a little tired: "I have to relieve you from time to time, you few can really toss." ”
Bai Ye suddenly found that he had been holding the senior sister's sleeve tightly, and hurriedly let go of his hand and saluted: "I'm really causing you trouble." ”
"It's a nuisance. Do you know who Xiao Yi's opponent is?"
The friends all shook their heads.
"The prime minister's people are here for the championship of the doubles competition. ”
Bai Ye stuck out his tongue, and said in his heart that this time is good, from Fangyi to Baishui City to the imperial capital, several brothers and sisters around him, one is counted as one, and they take turns to offend this Prime Minister Lu.
Yi Chi argued in a low voice with a cold face: "The arena is like a battlefield, and you can't let whoever is powerful give way." Why else would the Holy One hold this competition?"
The hall master covered his mouth and chuckled: "What Xiao Yi Gongzi said is true. This is the battlefield. They deserve it. Those who practice secret arts have the problem of despising physical arts, and Childe's performance is enough for them to remember for a lifetime. ”
The hall master's words changed: "However, Qiu Ran can't continue to compare with you." I won't say anything if you report her name to participate in the competition, but there will be the prime minister and the eldest prince in the later competition, don't let me offend people, okay?"
Bai Ye hurriedly said: "Don't! This is a doubles competition! Senior Sister quits now, won't Xiao Yi have lost all his previous efforts!"
"Who said that you want Childe to quit too?" said the hall master's face was filled with a warm smile, "You've already killed the hottest contestant." In the next game, you have to do your best!"
