In this martial arts competition, all four countries made huge bets.
In addition to the initial competition about Ye Tian, the emperor of the Yuanling Empire decreed that the leader would be given a marriage to a princess, and each country also gave out 100 million jade, and the winner would receive all of it. The bag is equivalent to 400 million jade.
The astronomical figure of 400 million is not a small number even for the Yuanling Empire. The annual tax revenue of the national treasury is approximately this amount.
This much fine jade can sustain a country's army for several years and train many strong men.
Therefore, this martial arts competition is not only a battle of glory, but also a battle of national destiny.
Countries that receive these 400 million yuan will undoubtedly develop rapidly in the next few years or even more than ten years.
One can imagine the pressure on players from four countries.
The overall strength of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, the Northern Desert Royal Court and the Western Tribes is not as good as the Yuanling Empire, so why do they dare to make such a big gamble? There must be some conspiracy during this period.
When the three kingdoms came together to Yuancheng to show off their power to the newly-in-power prince, and decided to hold this martial arts conference, there were vague signs that the three parties would join forces.
But the Yuanling Empire didn't care about this at all.
As a Celestial Kingdom, we are used to being targeted by three parties.
So I happily agreed to this big gamble.
The martial arts tournament is divided into three stages. The first stage is a decisive battle between the top ten, which is divided into two rounds of competition. The winner advances and the loser is eliminated directly.
The competition is conducted by drawing lots.
There are four lottery boxes in total. There are no duplicate numbers in the four lottery boxes. Each country has one lottery box for drawing, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of its own players meeting their own players.
A total of forty contestants competed against each other one by one, divided into twenty duels, and divided into two batches for competition. A group of ten pairs of players.
Ye Tian was in the first batch, and he was drawn to the eighth ring.
His opponent was a player from the Northern Desert Royal Court named Shui Huo, a master at the seventh level of the Imperial Realm.
This realm is only at the bottom among the Yuanling Empire's contestants, but among the Northern Desert Royal Court camp, it ranks among the top five.
"Ye Tian, you didn't expect to meet me, did you?" Shui Huo was very proud and didn't take Ye Tian seriously at all.
"I really didn't expect that I would meet a parallel importer." Ye Tian joked.
Shui Huo's face instantly darkened, and he angrily said, "If you speak nicely, I might show mercy. In that case, I will beat you until you kneel down and beg for mercy!"
"Kneel down and beg for mercy? That's a good idea!" A smirk appeared on Ye Tian's lips.
Uh-huh!
Before he finished speaking, he appeared behind Shui Huo.
Shui Huo was shocked and turned pale, and hurriedly slashed Ye Tian's neck with his backhand palm.
However, his hand only reached halfway before it collapsed.
Ye Tian grabbed the back of his neck, lifted him up, and then pressed him to the ground.
Bang!
Click!
Shui Huo knelt on his knees, his knees shattered, and he screamed in pain.
"Are you begging for mercy or continuing?" Ye Tian looked down at Shui Huo and chuckled.
"It's impossible for me to beg for mercy..."
Bang, click!
Ye Tian lifted Shui Huo and put it on the ground.
The already shattered knee was filled with blood.
Shui Huo howled like a slaughtered pig.
"I give up, I give up, please let me go!" Shui Huo finally lost his temper and hurriedly begged for mercy.
Ye Tian casually let go of Shui Huo, who lay on the ground wailing.
He said calmly: "If you want to kill me, go ahead, but first consider your own strength!"
Ye Tian seemed to be talking to Shui Huo, but he was actually warning the Northern Desert Royal Court and the rest of the Western tribe.
The expressions of the two envoys became extremely ugly, and they gritted their teeth at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian won, successfully entered the next round, and exited the ring to watch the battle.
In this round of competition, the strength gap is relatively large, and the winner is quickly determined in many arenas. None of the top players met in this round, so within an hour, the winner of the first batch was decided and the second batch competed.
The second batch also had a near miss and ended in more than an hour.
Start the second round.
This time Ye Tian's opponent came from a western tribe, and they were also only at the seventh level of the Imperial Realm.
But he didn't take Shui Huo's failure seriously at all. He thought it was because Shui Huo was too weak that he gave Ye Tian a chance to win quickly. He even clamored to beat Ye Tian down.
The result is naturally as miserable as Shui Huo.
The overall strength of the contestants in this round is relatively similar, and they are much more anxious than the previous round.
Ye Tian clearly felt that whenever players from the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, Northern Desert Royal Court, and Western Tribe faced off, they would usually do it perfunctorily to ensure that the stronger player advanced. But if you meet a player from the Yuanling Empire, no matter how big the difference in strength is, it will take a while.
The three countries have reached a consensus and joined forces to target the Yuanling Empire.
If the players of Yuanling Empire were not strong as a whole, they would suffer a big loss. Even so, we encountered a lot of trouble.
And if things go on like this, the players of the Three Kingdoms have been well preserved. The players of the Yuanling Empire have been exhausted through many rounds of battles, one is declining and the other is declining, and the situation is very dangerous.
"Damn it, the three countries are obviously joining forces to target our empire. This is unfair!"
"That's right, it's unfair. Please strictly investigate the Three Kingdoms players for letting them go!"
Cries of dissatisfaction erupted in the auditorium. This was the home ground of the Yuanling Empire, and everyone was united.
The queen sarcastically said: "I didn't expect that what was supposed to be a fair and just contest of national power turned into a conspiracy!"
Naturally, the queen knew that this would happen.
But again, the Yuanling Empire is powerful, you can do whatever you want.
The envoys from the three countries all laughed and said nothing.
There are some things that everyone knows in their hearts, and it is useless to quibble about them.
The queen didn't hold on to him, she just sarcastically mocked him and let out a fierce breath.
The first phase took a full day to complete.
There are a total of forty players, and ten people advance.
The Yuanling Empire alone occupies five places, which shows how powerful it is.
They are the three seed players Yuan Li, You Wu, and Zhang Jiayu, and Gao Lian and Ye Tian who are at the eighth level of the Imperial Realm.
There is a demon beast in the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, named Yuan Ba, who is at the ninth level of the Imperial Realm.
There are two people from the Northern Desert Royal Court, Jingang Jin and Tuzhuang, the former is at the ninth level of the Imperial Realm, and the latter is at the eighth level of the Imperial Realm.
Two people from the Western tribe, James and Paul, the former is at the ninth level of the Imperial Realm and the latter is at the eighth level of the Imperial Realm.
One country versus three countries were evenly matched in terms of numbers.
However, the contestants from the Yuanling Empire, except Ye Tian, obviously consumed more.
"Ye Tian, you didn't meet me in two rounds of competitions. You're really lucky. However, your luck ends here. Go back and wash your neck, and wait for my knife!" The village was filled with cold air. Said to Ye Tian.
"My swords are already thirsty!" Paul showed a wicked look.
"You should be lucky that you didn't meet me at this stage, otherwise it would have been you two who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy just now." Ye Tian snorted, responding forcefully.
