There are only ten days left for the year-end martial arts competition, and the academy has become even more lively. Many children who have entered the top 100 in the ranking competition in previous years have returned to the academy and appeared under the martial arts stage, causing waves of exclamations.
It's just that the battle on the martial arts stage didn't attract much attention from them. They just took a few glances and left directly. However, the news of their return spread throughout the entire academy in a very short period of time. That was among tens of thousands of students. Among the existences that can enter the top 100, each one has the strength of a great warrior. For those children who have been in dire straits and have yet to step into the samurai ranks, these children ranked in the top 100 are out of reach. To become such a being, talent, opportunity, and resources are all indispensable.
However, the exclamations in the martial arts field once again became quiet as those strong men disappeared. Their goal was just to break through the samurai, not to be eliminated, and to obtain more resources in the First Martial Arts Academy.
With only three days left in Huiwu, Zhou Ming finally broke through the warriors, but he had no time to cheer and celebrate and had to prepare for battle directly. Currently, there are only fifteen people including Yi Ran in School No. 8 who have broken through the samurai. That is to say, except for the five people who went to the border, only six other noble children have broken through the samurai. Even if those noble children were kings and hegemons under the warriors, it would not make much sense. However, they did not realize that many civilian children were no longer weaker than them or even surpassed them.
Another day later, the number of children on the martial arts stage in the academy suddenly decreased, and those who had some spare money basically went into the practice room to make the final breakthrough. Instead of the liveliness of the past, there was an atmosphere of solemnity.
Red lanterns were hung in every corner of the college, and Huiwu signs were also erected in the college. After Huiwu, the New Year is coming. The children who have been practicing alone in the academy for a year, no matter whether they can stay in the academy or not, will still have to return to their hometown to visit their relatives with regrets.
The purpose of practicing is to protect your family and home. If you don't even have time to go home to see your family, then what's the point of practicing?
The day of martial arts competition finally arrived in the spotlight. Before Tatsuki arrived, the First Martial Arts Academy was already full of pedestrians walking in a hurry. They hurried to the school to draw lots, and then walked to the martial arts field corresponding to the lot.
The first round of drawing was a free-for-all, so the lottery numbers were only 1 to 12, which corresponded to 12 martial arts fields respectively. In the second grade, 10% of the children were reduced and there were 11 schools. In the third grade, the number of children who entered the samurai class was even smaller. Most of the time there are only nine schools left, then eight for the fourth grade, seven for the fifth and six for the sixth. A full half of the children will be eliminated in six years, which is several times more stringent than the First Magic Academy.
It’s also thanks to the fact that the First Martial Arts Academy is large enough to have so many large martial arts stages that can support melee battles between two hundred people. The first person to step into School No. 8 today was not Yi Ran, but a few children who usually had no sense of existence. After drawing lots, they were not in a hurry to leave. Instructor Zhao Tianming asked them to stay in the school and wait until all the lots were drawn before heading to the martial arts stage together. In this way, you can know which classmates you are on the same martial arts stage and take care of each other. These lots are similar to the elemental stones used in the talent test. Once drawn, the energy will be locked and cannot be exchanged. This eliminates the possibility of some people wanting to cheat.
The faces of the children who came together were very ugly and they made a corner at random. The six of them had a good relationship and had gone out to complete several tasks that were not difficult together, so they had some cooperation with each other, but today The lot was drawn and the six people were assigned to five martial arts arenas. In other words, the few people they had a relatively good relationship with were all scattered, and they lost their most trustworthy comrades in the melee.
Immediately more and more people entered the school, and the remaining signatures became less and less.
Yi Ran was drawn with number 1, Ma Mingyao was number 3, and Tie Musheng and Zhou Ming were both number 6. However, for the three people who entered the samurai world, it was impossible to be eliminated in Huiwu no matter what.
In the end, when all the lots were drawn and Zhao Tianming counted them, he discovered that Yiran and Li Yiyi were actually assigned to the same group. As the two strongest people in the school, it can even be said that they were the strongest two among the freshmen. Although they were not There will be scenes of cannibalism, but on other martial arts stages, a lot of strong protection may be lost. Fortunately, only No. 2 does not have a samurai, and the remaining eleven stages will have samurai. It's just that everyone who draws the second lottery will face the group of death. It is definitely not easy to advance smoothly.
In the sad eyes of this group of people, Huang Zhan stood up at the right time and woke up the dreamer with a sentence: "As practitioners, do you only know how to rely on the protection of the strong? Then what is the meaning of your practice." This time you count on the strong to protect you, but what about the next time? Do you think that if you shrink back every time you encounter a challenge, is that worthy of the term martial arts? You might as well go home and farm for your retirement. A year of practicing is also considered Yes, you can just become a disciple of a village."
"A monk goes to live in the world, and you can protect others there, haha."
First encouraged and then ridiculed, the pessimistic children were stimulated to raise their heads, but some of them lowered their heads.
Huang Zhan didn't say much. He felt a little sad and helpless in his heart. Perhaps these people were not suitable for the cruel cultivation rules of this world. Without family background, there will be no resources. If you are not ruthless to yourself, you will not be ruthless to your enemies. Huang Zhan turned around and walked out of the school without looking at the children who were immersed in sadness.
Zhao Tianming followed Huang Zhan, glanced at the children, and said nothing more. Immediately, the arrogant family children walked out of the school first, followed by other civilian children. Yiran looked at Ma Mingyao, Temusheng, and Zhou Ming standing beside him and whispered, "Come on, don't be too stressed, and try to protect as many classmates as possible."
The three of them looked at each other and nodded. They were not under the pressure of being eliminated. After seeing the powerful alien beasts on the border, they would not be frightened by the small challenge in front of them. In their hearts, they were still thinking about chasing Yiran, and they did not think about it at all. Come over here and stop.
When all the children were sent to the stage, Huang Zhan and Zhao Tianming came to the instructor's seat. It was impossible to say that there was no anxiety in their hearts. How can you be willing to let children who have been carefully coached for a year be eliminated? It's just that they are used to seeing their comrades die and the despair on the battlefield. If you don't have the talent, quitting is an excellent outcome.
The two of them watched with calm eyes as the number of children on the martial arts stage continued to increase until all the first-grade schools had arrived. Theoretical instructors and practical instructors also all took the instructor's seat, but the appearance of a few new faces made others sigh in their hearts. The instructors who were seriously injured or died at the border were all replaced by newcomers. The reality is so cruel. When a disaster strikes, even oneself is in danger, so how can one count on others. The harsh treatment of these children now is just the hope that one day they can face disasters on their own, instead of not having the courage to take action against the monsters.
After all the schools had arrived, Li Qi flew lightly to the martial arts stage. The fire elements in his palm continued to condense to form a fire lotus. Then he squeezed the fire lotus with his five fingers and exploded into countless flames, igniting all the braziers surrounding the martial arts stage. This hand The atmosphere at the scene was instantly pushed to a climax.
In the hot eyes of all the children, Li Qi's old but energetic voice reached everyone's ears. In the first stage of the martial arts melee, no dead blows are allowed and no vital points are allowed to be attacked. Those who fall unconscious on the martial arts stage and surrender will be considered eliminated. The melee ends when there are only two people left on the martial arts stage. There are three instructors from the First Academy of Magic under each martial arts performance stage to help record. One records the entire battle process, one determines the number of people on the field and uses magic to prompt when 20% of the people on the field are eliminated and the remaining 20%, and the last one is responsible for observing the melee. During the process, only weapons are allowed to be used in melee. Any recovery potions and body-stimulating potions are prohibited from being used. Once discovered, they will be eliminated directly.
When Li Qi's words came to this point, there was a pause, and then he heard the shocking four words "The battle begins"!
Immediately, nearly two hundred people on each martial arts stage immediately fell into a melee. Some of the more familiar people immediately gathered together and handed their backs to each other to face the enemy. Some of them directly attack the nearest person. The nearest person is basically their classmate, but they don't care.
Only in School No. 8, under Zhao Tianming's prompting, the dozen or so people on each martial arts stage directly gathered together and surrounded the person with the highest strength.
After a moment of melee, more than a dozen people fell down on each martial arts stage. Each of them was extremely annoyed. Some did not expect that their classmates would make a sneak attack, and some were annoyed that they were too slow to take action. Some of them are really good at it. Although they are upset, they still believe that there will be no accidents in their challenge. Some of them have dim vision and have lost hope. But no matter what happens to the people in the audience, the battle on the stage will continue.
It is easiest to have Yi Ran and Li Yiyi on the No. 1 martial arts stage. Other schools don't know Yi Ran, but they can't help but retreat when they see Li Yiyi there with his fists raised and a smirk on his face. The No. 2 martial arts stage was the most difficult. Although they were not targeted and everyone was united together, whenever several people attacked them at the same time, the group was on the verge of being broken up. However, after the first wave of melee, although some people were injured, no one was eliminated. . As for other martial arts arenas led by warrior-level people, no one was injured or fell off the martial arts arena in the initial melee.
In just a few breaths, the words "10% eliminated" made of flames appeared one after another above the martial arts stage. This melee was caught off guard, and many people were eliminated before they could perform. However, the remaining people began to be cautious about all their classmates, even those around them. After seeing everyone in School No. 8 huddle together, other schools began to follow suit, but they only dared to gather with a few familiar people.
People on several martial arts stages saw that so many people had gathered in School No. 8, and immediately regarded them as the main targets of attack. Only on the martial arts stage No. 1, no one took the initiative to attack School No. 8. On the martial arts stage No. 2, no one was targeted because there were no warriors in School No. 8. However, on other martial arts stages, School No. 8 felt uncomfortable.
Especially the No. 3 school where Ma Mingyao was in, Ma Mingyao was already warlike. His idea was to defeat all the other schools by himself, and there would be no problems. So he led the civilians to continuously attack, directly at the beginning. Several people were beaten down in an instant. When the nobles saw that Ma Mingyao had such strength, they not only did not help, but stayed behind and did nothing. It's just that Ma Mingyao's move made several schools lively, and three warriors immediately surrounded Ma Mingyao. Even so, the noble disciples still didn't care and resisted the attack very casually behind. These three warriors have just broken through like Ma Mingyao. They are all family disciples and are stronger than Ma Mingyao in mental skills and martial arts. Only in terms of momentum and suppressive power, he is not as good as someone like Ma Mingyao who has been on the battlefield, but the situation is not optimistic either.
Under the fierce attack of the three people, Ma Mingyao could only resist with difficulty, relying solely on his strong body to withstand countless attacks. The three of them saw that they could not take down Ma Mingyao, and they were afraid that others would take advantage of them, so there was a big melee with more than ten warriors on the No. 3 martial arts stage. When Ma Mingyao was resisting the attacks of other warriors, he also had to help other classmates resist the attacks.
When a group of children who had become samurai found that they could not help each other, they began to take action against those who had not become samurai. Especially when they saw the familiar people in School No. 8 who were so confident, they immediately identified their targets.
Nowadays, most of the people who can break through the samurai are noble children. They are familiar with each other and can even be regarded as friends. This is also the reason why those noble children are not afraid of melee at all. Is it better to eliminate yourself who can't see you when you look up, or eliminate those weaker civilians? Where is the need to think about it?
This mentality appears in most of the noble disciples, so when a few warriors rushed towards the noble disciples in School No. 8, they were stunned for an instant, their eyes full of surprise and despair.
