The person who was talking to you one second is completely forgotten by you the next second.
The most frightening thing is that this is not an individual reaction, but the vast majority of people at the scene.
Even Feng Manlin looked a little confused, as if she only had some vague impressions in her mind.
Shen Qian asked around for a while, and was finally able to confirm that as far as Jiang Zhongjunwu was concerned, the only people who could remember the appearance of King Zhou Yi were, apart from him and Qu Bai, only Niu Ziguo and Zhao Keyi. They are at least half a step into the mountains and seas.
Even for a strong man like Niu Ziguo, the impression in his mind is not deep. It may just be a flash of God's effort, and the memory begins to fade.
"Prince, what kind of state is this..." Shen Qian couldn't help but murmur.
There are actually not a few princes he has dealt with.
Whether it is the lowest uncle or the top male, they have all seen each other's style more or less.
However, a very powerful man like King Zhou Yi gave him a completely different feeling just by showing up.
I just don’t know if King Zhou Yi can match that big snake...
Shaking his head, Shen Qian dispelled the messy thoughts in his mind.
It's ridiculous to think about it. He is a scum that has not touched the mountains and seas, and he is here to judge the princes. He is not qualified. He is not qualified.
Regardless of whether everyone remembers King Zhou Yi or not, what King Zhou Yi said is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
The atmosphere in the square also became heated with the words "Nine Kings Secret Realm".
Even though there was no strong commotion, everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation and urgency.
High in the sky, Ma Gongzuo smiled and said: "Speaking of this, I know that the question that everyone is most concerned about is how to ascend to Jiutian, but don't worry, let me explain them one by one."
The scene fell silent again, with only Ma Gongzuo's voice floating in the square.
"There is only one thing that can lead you upwards and penetrate the Nine Heavens, and that is...the Nine Heavens Order!"
As he spoke, a palm-sized blue-black token appeared in Ma Gongzuo's hand, with the word "Nine Heavens" in ancient seal script in the middle.
Perhaps in order to let everyone see clearly, Ma Gongzuo's hand flashed, and a ten-meter-high token shadow appeared on the square, and all the details were revealed.
"After the competition officially begins, each of you will start from the first level of heaven, and in each level, there are varying numbers of Nine Heavens Tokens distributed. When the Nine Heavens Tokens you hold exceed a certain number, , you are qualified to enter the next heaven."
"The Nine Heavens Order... may be distributed anywhere. As for how to find them, you need to rely on yourself."
"Minister Ma, I have another question!" At this time, another person raised his hand and shouted.
Ma Gongzuo's eyes moved to that person and he said casually: "Say."
"Nine Heaven Token...can I snatch it?" the man asked slowly.
The atmosphere at the scene was tense again.
In fact, everyone is not a fool, except for a few freshmen who are still a little ignorant. For most of the old students who have experienced the storm, when Ma Gongzuo just finished speaking, many people's eyes flickered, thinking of this The key question.
Ma Gongzuo was still smiling, but he uttered one word, "Yes."
really!
There was another slight commotion, but no one found it difficult to accept it.
It would be too ridiculous if it was just a matter of simply looking for things as the highest competition for the young generation of China.
Even at this moment, Shen Qian was thinking that the so-called "Nine Heaven Orders in varying quantities" must be scarce.
Just the name "Nine Heavens Struggle" must focus on the word "struggle".
"Of course, just holding the Nine Heavens Order is not enough. You also need to find the entrance to the next heaven. If you meet these two conditions at the same time, you can successfully enter the next heaven."
Ma Gongzuo smiled again and said, "In addition, I can remind you not to focus entirely on the Nine Heavens Order. Maybe as long as you pay a little attention, you will have all kinds of unexpected unexpected gains."
Um?
Many people heard the profound meaning in Ma Gongzuo's words and couldn't help but look up in shock.
"The 'Nine Heavenly Contest' is an event that has not been seen in a century. In fact, our original intention is to hope that each of you can gain something and gain enlightenment from it, so this time our contribution is far beyond your imagination..."
Ma Gongzuo suppressed some of his smile, "Everyone is strong or weak, but not the weak will definitely lose everything. The key lies in how you choose."
Some people looked confused, while others were thoughtful, and then they thought of something, and the corners of their eyes showed joy.
"but……"
At this time, Ma Gongzuo changed his voice again and said seriously: "This is a competition after all, so if you want to get more, you still have to fight hard. If at the end of the competition, you have extra Nine Heavens Order, then these Nine Heavens Order can be exchanged for corresponding martial arts resources in the temporarily established treasure house."
"And the rarity of some of these resources may not even be worse than the things in the Nine Heavens Secret Realm!"
With just one sentence, many powerful martial arts students' eyes lit up.
Obviously, the significance of the Nine-Day Token has gone beyond the pass. As long as there are enough Nine-Day Tokens in hand, there will be additional gains.
In this case, who wouldn't want more Nine Heavens Order?
For a time, although the strong ones were full of thoughts, the weaker ones couldn't help but feel worried.
"Yes, the cruelty of this nine-day battle may be far beyond your imagination."
Ma Gongzuo's voice dropped completely, "And due to various reasons, this time it is impossible to take the form of a simulated battle. What you will engage in may be an actual battle involving life and death!"
For the martial arts students who still have half of their feet in the ivory tower, even those geniuses with super strength can't help but calm down at this time.
life and death!
This is something that no one can take lightly.
"Moreover, this time, there will be no on-field referees and no on-site spectators... In other words, when you are in the Nine-Day Battlefield, there will no longer be any on-the-spot rescue. All judgments and all choices will only be made. You can rely on yourselves!"
As soon as Ma Gongzuo said these words, if everyone was just a little heavy just now, panic was visible on many people's faces at this time.
Even Shen Qian was caught at a loss in the eyes of many Jiangzhong Junwu classmates.
No on-the-spot rescue!
This was something no one had thought of beforehand.
Even though the Jiutian Cup is also a real battle, there is no need to mention the Shanhai referee who is standing by. There are even many strong people watching in the surrounding auditorium, which avoids the possibility of accidents to the greatest extent.
But... the Nine Heavens War is obviously completely different.
By this time, everyone could guess that the battlefield would most likely not be where they were at this time.
In other words, they will fight in an unknown space with no guardian at all.
The cruelty has reached a new level.
"Of course, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, the most basic protective measures are still in place."
Ma Gongzuo said at this time, "Each of you will be equipped with an exclusive positioning device. At the same time, a button will appear on this device. When you feel that you are unable to survive on the Nine Heavens battlefield, or you want to give up, , you can press this button.”
"This device is connected to the teleportation array of the Nine Heavens Battlefield and will take you away from the battlefield as soon as possible."
"Of course, if you leave in this way, it means early elimination, and the Nine-Day Order on you will also disappear."
call!
Sounds of long sighs of relief echoed throughout the square.
Many people looked better.
At least, there is still a way to save one's life.
But not everyone is looking good.
There are still quite a few people, and the panic in their hearts has not diminished at all.
Ma Gongzuo’s original words were extremely clear.
Reducing casualties... does not mean there are no casualties.
Even if there is a strong person present, it may not be able to avoid absolute death. For example, in the Jiutian Cup, Shen Qian killed Wang Shuo with one strike, and even the powerful top Shanhai couldn't save his life.
Not to mention it's just a delay device that still needs time to activate.
Surprisingly, none of the three strong men standing in the air said any words of comfort, even though they had noticed a strange emotion spreading on the field.
After a few minutes of silence, Wu Wei, who had been silent for a long time, said calmly: "You still have a chance to choose."
"Now, if you want to quit, please turn around and staff will take you out."
Dead silence.
After Wu Wei's words fell, there was a quiet silence.
For a moment, it seemed like no one was making any move.
Shen Qian sighed secretly.
This is obviously just an illusion.
As a warrior, although he may not be able to fear life and death, he certainly will not lack the courage to face difficulties.
Especially since this is not a peaceful time.
Moreover, Wu Wei also said that all you need to do is turn around, which means that you don't have to face those various eyes and won't have such a big psychological burden.
Shen Qian couldn't tell whether Wu Wei was trying to save everyone's face, or... was just trying to break down the last line of defense for those who were already hesitant?
There was a scraping sound of clothes, and sure enough, someone soon couldn't help it anymore.
A young man from an unknown university turned around tremblingly. From Shen Qian's "perspective", a line of tears fell from the corner of his eye.
This is in front of hundreds of millions of people!
Who wants to be a coward?
It's a pity that maybe he was suffering from great psychological torture, but he finally turned around.
It's like a contagion. There was the first one, and soon there was the second one, and then the hundredth one...
Wow!
The movement became louder, so loud that even people who didn't have eyes behind them could easily detect it.
"Let me see who dares to turn around. There is no waste in our Tyrant Army!"
An angry shout sounded.
Shen Qian glanced at the burly man leading Ba Tianjun Wu, and quickly shook his head and looked away.
it's useless.
Even though Long Yi's loud shout seemed to make many people stop, it only made them hesitate for a moment.
In an instant, over a hundred people in Ba Tianjunwu's team turned around.
Not to mention Ba Tianjunwu, even Jiangzhong Junwu, who felt that the quality of the competition was extremely high, there were twenty or thirty people quietly turning around at this moment.
It was just a tacit understanding, and neither Qu Bai nor Shen Qian said a word.
After a while, when all the movement finally stopped, Wu Wei waved his hand silently, and then the staff walked out and led those who chose to withdraw back the way they came.
After order was restored in the square, Magongzuo waved his hand suddenly, and an electronic screen appeared in mid-air.
On the large screen with a diameter of fifty meters, as the screen flashed, the number "278973" originally in the center changed to "236764".
Apparently, the number of people who just quit has exceeded 40,000.
"You should be congratulated. In a sense, you have won the first step."
Ma Gongzuo clapped his hands with a smile, and then his face became serious again.
"However, I would like to solemnly state one more point. Although a life-and-death fight is inevitable, everyone is prohibited from malicious killing... As for how to define malicious killing, you all know it in your mind, and there is no need for me to say more."
"Finally, in fact, there are many hidden rules regarding this nine-day battle, but you need to explore it yourself."
"Then, if there are no problems, get ready. The door to the first heaven will open in five minutes."
After Ma Gongzuo finished speaking, he nodded around and then hid in the void with Wu Wei and Wu Dinghou, who remained silent from beginning to end.
Thousands of staff came out with carts all around and began to distribute positioning devices according to the lists of various colleges and universities.
Shen Qian quickly received his own.
This so-called positioning device looks similar to a bracelet. It has an independent number on it, but it is replaced by a red button where the bracelet's original electronic screen is.
Following the staff's instructions, Shen Qian stuck the bracelet on his wrist. With a crisp click sound, the bracelet was firmly locked on Shen Qian's hand.
Shen Qian tried it, but it was really difficult to take it off unless he destroyed it with brute force.
But the staff just made it very clear that once it is destroyed by brute force, it will be deemed to be automatically abandoned, and the teleportation formation will also be triggered.
The numbers on the large screen in mid-air temporarily disappeared and turned into a five-minute countdown. After the bracelets were distributed, less than two minutes were left.
"It's strange. It doesn't look like there is a hidden door around here..."
Feng Manlin moved closer to Shen Qian and Qu Bai and murmured at the same time.
"Just wait and see." Qu Bai shook his head and smiled, then turned to Shen Qian and said, "If we go out at the same location, we should first greet the students behind."
Shen Qian nodded.
As the two strongest people in Jiangzhong Military Forces at present, this can be regarded as their potential responsibility.
Soon, the countdown came to an end.
Shen Qian suddenly felt something and looked up.
At the same time, dozens of eyes in the square cast their gaze high into the sky.
A looming figure emerged from the clouds.
King of Zhouyi!
Shen Qian recognized at a glance that this was really King Zhou Yi who had just appeared, but at this time most people were not aware of his existence at all.
"start!"
Just hearing one word whispered by King Zhou Yi, the whole square suddenly lit up with brilliance.
To be more precise, it was the huge stone statues in the square that shone brightly.
Mysterious runes appeared densely on the stone statues. Shen Qian only realized at this moment that these stone statues were actually covered with formations.
At a glance, each stone statue has at least dozens of formations on it.
What shocked Shen Qian even more was that those seemingly uncomplicated formations, combined vertically and horizontally, vaguely formed an extremely huge and shocking formation.
Rays of light refracted from the top of the stone statue, and when they met in mid-air, a huge "door" that was more than a hundred feet long and wide slowly emerged.
