Chapter 57
After Ma Mingyao fell into coma, he was rescued by the instructor of the magic academy. Immediately, a light magician fed Ma Mingyao a recovery potion and performed a healing spell. Although Ma Mingyao's injuries were horrific enough to be considered lifeless for ordinary people, to monks it was nothing more than a skin injury. Even if there was too much bleeding, a bottle of medicine and a healing spell could heal him seventy-seven times. Eighty-eight. The only real troublesome things are serious internal injuries and profound poisons.
After the treatment, Ma Mingyao woke up before noon. Looking at the classmates on the No. 3 martial arts stage surrounding him, including those noble disciples who had never even looked at him, he felt a wave of emotion in his heart. He asked, "I seemed to have been eliminated by 20% when I fell, so you shouldn't have to enter the death group." Ma Mingyao asked while rubbing his head with a naive look on his face, as if he had never been paid attention to by so many people. , seemed a little restrained.
A young man in Chinese clothes said first, "Thank you, Brother Ma, for stopping the opponent. None of us entered the death group. Although we did not make it into the top 20%, it is not important. Your injury does not matter." The young man asked Ma When Ming Yao was injured, there was even a hint of anxiety. This was something that was completely impossible to happen. Before the battle, even if Ma Mingyao lost to the monster and was killed, if they had the strength, they might kill the monster. But there is a possibility that they will not help Ma Mingyao, and they may not even avenge Ma Mingyao in the end.
Ma Mingyao felt relieved instantly and said, "I'm fine, we will fight together and return together!" Then he extended his fist to the young man.
The young man also smiled and extended his fist to Ma Mingyao, "We fight together and return together." Then all the children surrounding Ma Mingyao stretched out their fists and said happily, "We fight together and return together."
At this time, these children suddenly remembered that in the first class of school, the seats were divided into two sections, where the noble children and the common people were divided into two seats. What instructor Zhao Tianming said, "We are classmates in the academy and comrades in the battlefield. The enemy will not because of this Because of his status, he takes special care of himself, and the people who help him in times of crisis are most likely those civilians."
Today's battle has made this prophecy come true, and it has also become an opportunity to break the shackles between all children.
When the crowd surrounding Ma Mingyao dispersed, they saw Yi Ran in front, with Huang Zhan, Zhao Tianming and a large group of classmates standing next to them. Opposite them, nineteen people stood with miserable expressions on their faces.
Like Ma Mingyao, they were the first children to be eliminated and entered the death group. Even if they had two games left to have a chance to stay, their hearts were destined to be unable to calm down.
Sure enough, fighting together and returning together is the most difficult thing, and being able to fight together and return together is a blessing in life.
Then Ma Mingyao stood up, passed by Yi Ran, walked to the nineteen people, and stood with them. Ma Mingyao, who became a warrior, seemed out of place with the other nineteen people, but he gave them a glimmer of hope. The strong warriors have entered the death group, what does that mean? It shows that there is always an element of luck in battles. If you are unlucky and strong, you will be eliminated. If you are lucky, even if you are weaker, you still have hope of advancement.
"Ma Mingyao's one-star warrior has returned to the team!" Ma Mingyao's voice was sonorous and powerful, completely without the sluggishness of being in a coma just a moment ago. "Please ask the two instructors to arrange the next round of battle." Ma Mingyao, who was defeated and unable to compete for the top 100, did not feel depressed at all. His excitement drove the other nineteen people to raise their heads and look at Huang Zhan and Zhao Tianming.
"Compared to other schools, we have the fewest people entering the death group, and the most people entering the top 20%. Although there are regrets, we have to say that our performance is excellent. Next, we will draw lots for one-on-one battles. The rules have already been stated , but someone just mentioned it to me.”
"If, just if we are drawn together in the same school, then the stronger one will let the weaker one win, and then the strong one will challenge others to get a chance to advance. Although we may not necessarily meet each other, it may not be like us. It seemed so smooth, but at least there was one more thought.”
Just after Zhao Tianming finished speaking, the two words "draw lots" made of flames appeared in the sky. Ma Mingyao took the lead and walked towards the lottery place and took back his own lottery ticket: "First performance on martial arts stage No. 1!"
Still on these twelve martial arts stages, what was once a stage for two hundred people has now become a stage for two people. It is extremely empty but leaves enough room for performance.
Twelve competitions will still be held at the same time, and 20% of the children, more than 400 people, will also engage in more than 200 battles. The competition will start on time at noon, and it will only be half an hour now.
The remaining nineteen people also followed Ma Mingyao and went to draw lots. After some comparison, four people were lucky enough to be in the same group. Compared with other people who don't know their opponents, they feel much more at ease.
The entire No. 8 School went to the dining hall together in a huge crowd. When instructor Huang Zhan said that he would be the one to treat the meal, all the children were shocked. Those with good family backgrounds may not care about this little money, but they can't help but feel joy in their hearts.
Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, but spent dozens of silver coins. After a short rest, everyone headed to the martial arts stage together.
When the death group competition began at the end of the day, School No. 8 became the only school where all students were present.
At the beginning of the competition, Ma Mingyao was the first to step onto the martial arts stage No. 1, and he had an unstoppable momentum. No matter who comes, it is impossible to shake Ma Mingyao in the slightest. This is the confidence of a warrior in a warrior. Even a weak warrior was able to eliminate eighteen powerful warriors and was only knocked off the martial arts stage.
When Ma Mingyao's opponent saw that he was facing a warrior, he lost all desire to take action. After a few casual moves, he fell off the martial arts stage. Originally, Ma Mingyao's strength was not enough to knock him out of the martial arts, but in the process of retreating, he added strength and found a good-looking position to fly down. There is no shame in losing to the samurai, and it is even more of an honor to survive a few rounds in the hands of the samurai.
In the melee, eighteen people tried their best to knock down the weak warrior. This shows that there is a gulf-like gap between the warriors below and the warriors. In fact, this is the gap between martial arts and spiritual practice. This is why samurai are the first level of martial arts, and those under samurai are collectively called warriors.
Those who were drawn into the same group in School No. 8 followed the advice of their instructor Zhao Tianming and discussed it in advance. After a few moves, the stronger ones took the opportunity to fall off the martial arts stage, allowing the weaker ones to take the lead. The two of them also have more opportunities to observe other battles. The stronger one chooses the winner that he is more confident about, and the weaker one chooses the one that threatens him through such observation. But even if there is a threat, the energy saved gives him a huge advantage.
After two hours of competition, the results finally came out. Naturally, no one would choose to challenge Ma Mingyao, a one-star warrior. Many of the kids with similar strengths who were jealous were not only angry but also unconvinced. They still chose their previous opponents for the second round of the challenge. Because of this, no one chose to challenge the two winners of the first round of the civil war in School No. 8. They locked up the victory in advance. The stronger ones chose the one who consumed too much in the first round, and they won without any problems. Difficulty.
It's just that reality is often not as satisfactory as expected, and it is not a simple matter to fight together and return together. It is not easy for anyone to win after two hard battles. Nine people in School No. 8 were also eliminated. The cultivation path of these nine people may not necessarily be cut off, but the future will definitely be more difficult and dangerous. Just like the children in the night market that day, without the protection of the academy, all resources including transactions had to rely on themselves. Cultivation, which is already difficult, becomes even more difficult.
Everyone else in School No. 8 stood under the martial arts stage to welcome the return of these warriors. Some people couldn't bear the redness in their eyes, and some were gritting their teeth as they were filled with reluctance for the children who were about to leave. Just now I was willing to accept these people from different backgrounds, but in the blink of an eye I had to separate and even find it difficult to see each other again. Even if they meet again, the two of them are no longer in the same world. Maybe when they meet, a disaster occurs and requires rescue. Even if there are people who are very happy to protect these ancients, in the end it is better not to meet each other.
After all the death group competitions are over, the next step is the top 100 challenge. This is the stage for those powerful children to show off their skills.
Huang Zhan and Zhao Tianming comforted nine children who needed to leave the First Martial Arts Academy. The scenes from the first meeting until now are still in their eyes. Among them, six boys and three girls had tight and dark skin, much darker than when they first came to the academy. There were calluses on their palms and scars on their faces. These are all proof of their efforts over the past year. It is just a person's inherent talent and personality differences that finally make it difficult for them to go very far on this road.
Only two of the nine people did not cry, but they were a man and a woman. The man named Song Zhili was a commoner who often followed Ma Mingyao on missions. He was also a very hard-working person and had Ma Mingyao's guidance and help. However, his talent was really slow compared to ordinary cultivation. Although he was extremely familiar with the moves and his body was very strong, he still lacked internal strength after all. The girl's name is Chao Qianqian. She practices very hard and very hard, but her body is extremely weak and it is difficult to change it even if she practices hard. Her inner strength is slightly stronger than Song Zhili. It is her weak body that makes her weak. She was defeated in the confrontation. Although she has the fighting spirit and courage of a heroic girl, her frail body makes all her dreams a big dream.
Perhaps their training career at the First Wudang Academy is over, but their lives still have a long way to go.
Everyone looked at the students who persisted until the end and went to participate in the lottery draw for the Top 100 Challenge. Their hearts were full of envy and excitement but not a trace of jealousy. Except for School No. 8, most of those who persisted to the end had reached the edge of breaking through as a samurai or were already in the samurai realm. Each of them has experienced countless battles and has extraordinary grace. There should have been one more one-star warrior among them, Ma Mingyao, who is physically strong and occasionally naive, but has a very strong and reliable fighting spirit. However, he can only become a spectator at the moment, watching others show off their own style. This regret made everyone feel a little heartbroken, but Ma Mingyao himself was not sad at all.
Ma Mingyao doesn't care about victory or defeat, he just wants peace of mind. This defeat only laid the foundation for future struggles, and future challenges will be far more difficult than this.
