The New Era Cup is a grand event held once every ten years in Kyushu Continent. It is also the most important event in the entire continent every ten years.
The outstanding players of each New Era Cup will be regarded as the new stars that will rise in mainland China in the next ten years. Therefore, the New Era Cup is also jokingly called the weather vane of mainland talent.
For such a major event, it stands to reason that the Youth League will not be absent.
However, due to various changes during this period, only Lu Xiaoran and Tang Hao from the Youth Pi team joined the Ivy League team, while the rest, under the leadership of Si Qin, invested in the Youth Pi's business blueprint that was beginning to take shape.
Compared with the complicated competition system of the Shenwu Cup, which is divided into preliminary rounds, circuit rounds, and finals, the competition system adopted by the New Era Cup is simpler and rougher.
There are only preliminary and final rounds.
The preliminary stage will last for nearly three months.
At this stage, players from all over the mainland will start fighting across the continent with the Imperial Capital as the end point, with the ultimate goal of obtaining the city defense order.
At this stage, with the Imperial Capital as the center, the Imperial City selected fifty important cities and towns in the three states of the Tang Dynasty and set them up as defensive cities.
These defenses are scattered in all directions and routes into the imperial capital to facilitate players from all over the world to challenge.
Players who want to get a pass to the finals need to become the ultimate defender.
This means that the final defenders will have to defend until the end of the three-month preliminary stage before they can obtain the pass.
Compared with defending the city and needing to be ready to accept challenges at all times, there is another way to enter the finals.
That is to constantly challenge the defenders.
After capturing a city point, you will not become a new defender, but will take the siege pass. Z.br>
However, reaching the finals as a siege player is not that easy.
After the preliminary round, only the ten players with the most siege passes can advance to the finals.
In this way, unlike the defenders who may be challenged at all times and may also face high-intensity battles, the attackers have limited promotion quotas.
Both have their own difficulties.
The reason why the New Era Cup has designed the preliminary stage in this way is, on the one hand, because the New Era Cup is a continent-wide event. Such auditions can not only ensure fairness to the greatest extent, but also allow some unsectarian warriors to advance. chance of the finals.
On the other hand, it is to commemorate the martyr Tang Yunshan.
It was exactly this way that Tang Yunshan traveled across half a continent and experienced countless battles before arriving at Tuoba Wuji's retreat.
As the New Era Cup begins, the attention of the entire continent is attracted by the talented players emerging from various places.
"A new city lord has appeared in Pingluan Town at the southern end of Dongyue Prefecture! He is a genius swordsman who is only twenty years old!"
"I've also heard that this swordsman's name is Lin Ping, and all the swordsmanship he learned comes from a ruined book..."
"A single tome can create a genius swordsman! This tome must be a secret swordsmanship that has been left behind!"
"Ha, your news is too late. You are still discussing Lin Ping. He has been beaten down..."
"Ah, what a pity..."
"After all, he is young and has too little fighting experience. It is natural for him to be defeated. However, he is still young. I believe that the next New Era Cup will be his moment to shine..."
While everyone was discussing, a person suddenly rushed into the restaurant and exclaimed: "Great news! Ivy League students have captured a city again..."
Amazing cheers immediately erupted in the restaurant, and at the same time, someone asked anxiously: "Who is it? Who is it?"
The intruder gasped to calm down the excitement in his heart, and said intermittently: "Feng Tianxiao, a fourth-year student in the Ivy League...captured...Thousand Machines City..."
"Great, our Southern Territory has great momentum this time, and good news comes frequently..."
"Yes, the quality of these Ivy League students is very high..."
"No, don't forget that there is Ning Bo! He chose an even crazier siege route, and now he has captured three cities..."
"Ning Bupo is indeed the number one person in the Ivy League today. At this rate, it shouldn't be a problem to get into the top three in the siege rankings at the end of the preliminary stage..."
"I don't know if I can win the top three, but you are wrong in one thing..."
"What?"
"Ning Bo is not the number one in the Ivy League today. Don't forget, someone defeated him in the Shenwu Cup..."
"You mean...that young man named Changsun?"
"He is indeed a genius...but his whereabouts are still unknown...what a pity..."
There were a few sounds of regret in the restaurant, but they passed quickly.
After all, in the vast continent of Kyushu, geniuses are like flowers vying to bloom. Some die young, some wither... This is a normal phenomenon.
"The genius of the Crusaders also took action..."
"Shaun Ivy won another city..."
"Yan Gexing finally took action..."
Good news kept coming from the restaurant, and as people from the Southern Territory, everyone felt honored.
The owner of the restaurant was also excited for a moment and announced that each table would be given another jar of wine, which directly brought the atmosphere of the restaurant to a climax.
Such a continent-wide competition is not only a competition between individuals and major forces, but also a competition between regions.
Time flies, and two months have passed. The strong performance of the major forces has gradually slowed down, and the previously reclusive forces have begun to gradually exert their strength and gradually seize city points.
This is a tactic that everyone usually uses when choosing a route to defend the city. After all, the further you go to capture the city points, the fewer challenges you will face.
However, such tactics are not safe. The defenders who can "survive" through the high-intensity battle in the early stage will not be able to successfully challenge easily.
But compared to the defensive route of catching up from behind, the attackers' tactics were to strike preemptively.
After all, the loophole in the siege route is that the final ranking will only be based on the number of siege passes, and the number of challenges will not affect the final ranking.
Therefore, those who choose siege routes will basically challenge the defenders of each city point at the beginning of the preliminary round, and the choice of these siege routes will often be adjusted based on the strength of the defenders.
There are very few attackers who go all the way to the dark side. Even a battle lunatic like Ning Bo will choose to take a detour when faced with certain difficult-to-attack city points.
At this time, people in the mainland are all savoring the bitterness of a certain city defender who persisted in nearly a hundred games without defeat in the latter stages of the preliminary round, but missed the order to defend the city in a single move.
Or a certain attacker won another difficult victory at this stage and roared to dominate the world.
But no one noticed that there was an attacker before he set out to challenge.
If anyone knew at this time, they would definitely laugh at the attacker for his overestimation of his abilities and his whims.
The city defenders at this stage are not soft persimmons and can be manipulated by others.
But this man broke people's conventional understanding with his achievements in just ten days.
The attackers can also come from behind!
No one but Qianer!
The first person to notice this person was the Imperial Palace.
There is a building in the imperial capital specifically used to compile information on geniuses and powerful people across the continent.
During the New Era Cup, one floor of this building will be used to tally the performance of all players.
The student who was responsible for statistics at the southern end of Qingchuan Prefecture let out a sigh after seeing the battle report sent back today.
The classmate next to him heard this and said with a smile without raising his head: "Tian Fei, have you discovered any talented players again?"
The surrounding students chuckled. In such a heavy and boring statistical work, teasing each other became a way to relax.
However, this time the student named Tian Fei did not retaliate immediately. Instead, he stared at the battle report in his hand and murmured in a low voice: "It's impossible, this is unscientific..."
At this time, the classmate who had just made fun of him noticed Tian Fei's abnormality, raised his head and came to Tian Fei's side, but he still did not forget to joke: "What big news makes Tian Fei, who has seen big winds and waves, so big?"
What a surprise..."
Before the classmate could finish speaking, he was attracted by the information in the battle report and snatched the battle report from Tian Fei's hand.
"What is this? Are you sure it's correct?"
The students around who didn't know what was going on looked at the startled two people and pointed at the sign on the back of the battle report and said, "Are you fainted from work? Maybe the news sent back by the "Ring Cup Hotline" is wrong? ! "
This student is right, the battle report sent back by the Ring Cup line is absolutely infallible.
In order to ensure the timely and effective statistical work of the New Era Cup, the Imperial Capital Mansion will have multiple information lines for collecting battle results.
Among these information lines, the "Ring Cup Special Line" is an information line specially opened for the New Era Cup, and its main focus is accuracy.
Because their battle reports are recorded by on-site specialists who watch the games, and there are more than one such specialists in a game.
The delivery of the battle report also requires the signatures of more than two recipients to ensure that the delivery of the battle report is accurate.
Therefore, the delivery of battle reports on the Ring Cup line will lag a bit behind compared to other information lines.
At the same time, even if there is only one sentence in the ring cup line's battle report, there is often a large piece of paper attached to record the signature of the reporter.
But in this way, its accuracy is well guaranteed.
It is for this reason that the surrounding classmates would "laugh" at the two of them.
But the two classmates didn't care at all. They raised their heads, raised the battle report in their hands, and murmured: "Then what happened to the capture of ten cities in ten days recorded in the battle report..."
After hearing this, everyone put down their work and started talking: "Ten cities in ten days? Well, there is something...who is it? Is it Tan Shuanghu who previously captured nine cities and captured another city point?"
"The strength of these young Ivy League players should not be underestimated..."
"I guessed before that he would definitely capture another city..."
Everyone naturally attributed the results of ten days and ten cities to the ranks of the attackers who had won nine cities in the early stage of the preliminary round. At the same time, they began to guess who had won the first city.
On the other side, Tian Fei, who had been shocked before, seemed to have woken up. He blushed and shouted, "It's not the nine-city player before, it's the ten-city record in the last ten days!"
"The past ten days..."
"The record of ten cities?"
Only then did everyone realize the "seriousness of the situation."
The student who made fun of Tian Fei before seemed to be in a fugue and murmured: "To be precise, these ten days, one city per day...ten cities in ten days!"
"What!"
