Chapter 0041: The Tournament Begins
Three days later, the tournament officially began. Originally, before the martial arts competition, there would be a general mobilization, and the peak masters of each peak should make an impassioned speech in order to mobilize more disciples to sign up for it. But Ye Nan didn't come back because he went out to purchase, so he was represented by the old man Ma, and even the registration was done by this master.
Who would have expected that when signing up, it would cause a lot of sensation. For nothing else, many people are very curious about who can survive in the hands of Old Man Ma so far, so the three words 'Chen Baishun' have also become a topic of conversation before and after tea in Qingfufeng.
Ye Nan arranged the three days to be very full, and first refined the applied magic weapon, so that it could be used in the battle, which was more convenient and time-saving.
Of course, Ye Nan would not be stupid enough to use the rune treasure and that superb magic weapon in the martial arts competition. There is only one result in that, that is, the conference is not over yet, and I am afraid that many people will worry about their own lives.
Ye Nan also made careful arrangements, planning to use spirit runes as the main means of attack and magic weapons as auxiliary in the battle. This has a very obvious advantage, that is, the tournament is in the form of a ring, and the range is about less than fifty zhang. That is to say, at the beginning of the competition, throw out a spirit rune, and the opponent has no place to hide, so he can only resist.
In addition, the use of spirit runes is instantaneous, and it can take the lead in attacking before the opponent has sacrificed any magic weapon, even if it fails to defeat the enemy with one move, it can also make the opponent scramble for a while.
In terms of the choice of magic weapons, Ye Nan was also considered, which was not noticeable, but could exert the greatest power. The Yellow Sand Banner is naturally the first choice, in addition to being a high-grade magic weapon, its powerful offensive and defensive characteristics will also give the opponent a headache. This was followed by a set of three crystal balls, although this thing was only a medium-grade magic weapon, but this treasure still had obvious advantages in defense and spiritual power saving.
In addition to these two magic weapons, Ye Nan felt that having an extra high-grade flying sword should not arouse suspicion. The remnant top-grade defensive magic weapon Turtle Spirit Shield, if it is not used for the time being without encountering a strong enemy, the beast talisman saber-toothed tiger will also be used as the last killer weapon. As for Meow, Ye Nan didn't plan to appear at the martial arts tournament at all, he didn't want to be too ostentatious and be remembered by someone who cared about him.
After that, he counted all the spirit runes he had made in the past few years, well, not bad, if nothing else, it was enough to squander in the conference.
In the end, Ah Meow became what she used to be and played with Lu Yunjie for a day. As for Han Yudie...... Well...... It's better not to meet yet!
The martial arts competition finally began, and in order to encourage the enthusiasm of low-level disciples, the sect even set up the top magic weapon and the highest award of Tsukidan. Of course, this Tsukidan is not easy to take, and it must be within the top ten.
On a huge square of the Ziyang Sect Main Peak, five rings with a height of more than one zhang and a size of about fifty zhang have been set up in the middle, and the runes on the ring flashed, and a golden light shield covered the entire ring in the middle. This is to prevent the use of spells and spells to injure the spectators outside the arena. Behind the ring are rows of notary tables, on which there are twenty or thirty predecessors in the foundation building period, as well as some leaders and elders of various families.
Since the first few days were qualifiers, there would not be too many disciples to watch, and the number of people in the square was less than three thousand. Even the disciples in the stands, the foundation building period is also a sparse scene. I heard that some disciples of big families and inner disciples with higher qualifications have exemptions and directly occupy the places in the final big competition, so there is no need to participate in the qualifiers.
"Alas...... We, the outer disciples, were all raised by our stepmother!huh~?is she?!" Just when Ye Nan sighed at the advantages of the inner disciples, his eyes suddenly lit up.
I saw a woman in white sitting in the middle of the notary table, with a purple veil on her face, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but judging from her temperament and figure, it was the Qingfu Peak senior who tested herself when she entered the Ziyang Sect, Liu Ruyue.
In Ye Nan's impression, this person is still very good, just because of the simple action of blocking Old Man Ma's sight and protecting the new disciple when he met Old Man Ma back then, it can be seen that this woman is kind-hearted and not the kind of sinister person.
"Number 144, that's a really ...... To die (144), your mother, it's too unlucky. Ye Nan looked at the number plate in his hand and frowned.
This number was drawn by Old Man Ma for him, and he could only participate in the competition with this number plate in a while. After looking at the handsome men and women around him, he turned around and walked to a corner where no one was around.
Because the peak master of Qingfu Peak is a female cultivator, the entire Qingfu Peak is more women than men, basically a ratio of three to one, so it is also the most desirable dream paradise for all male disciples in the entire Ziyang Sect.
Basically around every male disciple in the square, there will be a few beautiful female disciples chatting together, and occasionally there are female disciples around them...... Ye Nan looked at the woman in the middle who was held by the stars, and the flattering ridicule of a large group of men around her, and occasionally the female disciple's "giggle" laughter.
Although this person is also wearing a veil and can't see his appearance clearly, from his sexy and fiery figure and the familiar voice, you can immediately know that this person is the Miss Han who "everyone loves and flowers bloom" Ye Nan can't hide - Han Yudie!
When Han Yudie heard that Ye Nan was going to participate in the martial arts competition, he immediately went to beg that Elder Han to participate as well. In fact, with Han Yudie's status, this Tsukidan is indispensable, she just wants to defeat Ye Nan in front of everyone in the ring to relieve the sullenness in her heart. At this moment, when he saw Ye Nan sitting in the corner and resting, he deliberately became ambiguous and close to him with other disciples.
"Alas, this world is really ......" Ye Nan shook his head, closed his eyes and couldn't see it.
"Ahem, all the disciples should pay attention, all the disciples who come to participate in the competition, please take out the number plate of the competition drawn in advance and register at the registration office. After a while, the sound of assembly came from the notary table.
"All the disciples who came to participate in the competition, please pay attention......"
The disciples around the square began to get agitated, and the three and three began to want to walk towards the registration office. Ye Nan stood up and walked to the end of the crowd.
"No. 144! Chen Baishun? Oh! It turns out that you are Ma Yushan's disciple?!" At the registration office was a beautiful young woman, who looked Ye Nan up and down with interest after seeing Ye Nan's number plate.
"Yes senior!" Ye Nan saluted respectfully, but was uncomfortable by the strange eyes.
"Hehe! Very good! Good luck!" the young woman smiled, registering her name and handing over a bamboo plaque.
"Hey, did you hear that? That was the apprentice of the 'Fu Idiot' just now. ”
"What? is him?"
"Looking at his ugly appearance, no wonder he has survived until now!"
"Hehe! yes, yes"
The surrounding disciples naturally heard the conversation at the registration office, and all of a sudden they became noisy, and the long-awaited truth was finally revealed.
Ye Nan looked inexplicable, how could he seem to be very famous overnight. Turning around to avoid everyone's strange eyes, he walked back to his resting place and looked down at the bamboo sign. "Ring Five!"
"Silence!" a middle-aged man in the middle of the ring shouted, and then began to explain the rules of the conference.
"A total of 1,372 disciples participated in the competition, and 12 are now absent. ”
"It's finally begun!" Ye Nan smiled slightly!
"My surname is Ma, and my full name is Ma Baichuan. He served in the law enforcement team and is now serving as the chief referee of this tournament. More than a dozen disciples in the foundation building period on the notary table at the back served as the notary public this time. Ma Baichuan introduced unhurriedly.
"What?Ma Baichuan?Could it be that this person is Ma Baichuan, who is known as the 'Iron Mask Judge?!"
"Isn't it?!, the chief law enforcement elder of the law enforcement team?"
"Looks like it's him!"
Ma Baichuan had just finished introducing himself, and immediately the disciples in the audience were restless, this person's name was too loud, not only was he a cultivator who built a foundation and was amazing, but he was also known for his iron-faced selflessness.
"First of all, each of you has a ring number plate in your hand, so go to your respective ring to compete. The competition will be conducted in a two-by-two elimination system, with five venues competing at the same time, with the winner advancing and the loser eliminated. After all the disciples have competed in the qualifiers, the top 52 will be selected to enter the final competition in seven days. ”
"Rules of the game: First, the opponent cannot be killed in the game, if there is a mistake in the opponent's death, his qualification will be cancelled and handed over to the law enforcement team for punishment. Second, one side of the contest voluntarily admits defeat or is stunned, and the other side is awarded victory. Third, when both sides of the competition are seriously injured and unable to continue the competition, both sides will be judged as losing. Fourth, the referee has the right to intervene in the game at a critical moment to avoid fatal incidents. Five......"
Ma Baichuan said a few precautions for the competition in a row, "Finally, I hope that all the disciples will stop at the point, and don't form a grudge because of this, and damage the harmony between the disciples of the Ziyang Sect." Anyone who enters the fifty-two days will hold a final contest with the inner disciples on the seventh day. ”
"It seems that the rumors are true, many big families and inner disciples do not participate in the qualifiers, but directly enter the final sixty-four competition. Ye Nan touched his chin.
"Okay! I announce: The Ziyang Sect Martial Arts Qualifiers are now open!" Ma Baichuan raised his head and announced loudly.
"Whoa, ......whoa, whoa," the disciples below applauded excitedly, like rain.
"The following will be a random draw of number plates to fight, read the number on the stage to compete, the winner wait for all the competition before continuing to draw. ”
"When the time comes, there are still seven disciples who have not arrived on time, so they abstain. Let's start drawing numbers. Ma Baichuan calculated the time, checked the number of participants, and immediately decided that the competition would begin.
"No. 72 Wu Feng vs. No. 191 Jin Ling, No. 1 Ring!" A thin and tall disciple of the foundation building period stood on the No. 1 ring, casually took out two number plates from a large wooden box, and began to recite the number.
After that, disciples from the foundation building period also appeared in other rings, and they began to read the number! Ye Nan hurriedly came to the side with the number five rings written on it! Listen carefully to see if he had read his number.
"No. 597 Shi Jian vs. No. 1023 Tian Liang!" The competition in front of the No. 5 ring officially began.
As soon as the words fell, two disciples immediately walked up from the crowd, one tall and the other medium in height, and the two walked into the ring and stood on each side.
"Both sides are ready! The contest begins!" a chubby foundation building period stood on the edge of the ring, and with a wave of his right hand, the contest officially began.
Ye Nan watched from afar, carefully observing the fighting methods of the disciples and absorbing the combat experience.
I saw that Shi Jian quickly sacrificed a flying sword and a flying knife, and pasted a vajra talisman on himself as a defense, intending to fight steadily. On the other side, Tian Liang seemed to be a little unprepared, and only sacrificed an iron ruler to meet the enemy, but then sacrificed a defensive magic weapon. The two fought evenly for a while.
In the end, it was Shi Jian who used the cultivation of the peak of the refining body to win the Tian Liang who only had the upper yuan of the refining body.
"No. 72 Shi Jiansheng! In the next game, No. 232 Chu Shuang will fight No. 13 Liu Kun. ”
Next, there were a few more battles in a row, Ye Nan carefully observed, looking at the exercises used by each opponent, the way of fighting, etc., these are rare experiences, and they will inevitably meet in the future.
"Below, No. 19 Han Yudie will fight No. 144 Chen Baishun!"
