Time passed little by little, regardless of the situation in the western border of the Star Kingdom. After one day passed, the Sword King Festival came as scheduled, and the competition held by the Star Army was held as scheduled. Early in the morning, Lu Yunyou and others left the palace to take a ride. Take the carriage to the military camp nearest to them.
When they arrived, the military camp was crowded with soldiers in plainclothes everywhere. Today was the Sword Emperor's Day, which was celebrated by everyone. Except for some people who were assigned to guard the necessary posts, most people were free to move around for the day.
In addition to the Star Army, the military brass also specially invited people from several nearby cities to watch the event, and the military brass also specially extended invitations to those local forces, as long as they were no more than forty years old and at the fifth or sixth level of strength. Anyone can participate in the competition, and if they perform well, they can also receive certain rewards.
Whether it was to make a sigh of relief for changing household registration, or to confirm the background of each of their families, after the Star Army senior officials issued invitations to them, many family forces had already sent their clansmen who met the competition requirements.
With the participation of local powerful people from the former Feng Kingdom, the scale of the martial arts tournament was unprecedentedly large. For people on both sides, it was considered a rare event in a century.
The military camp Lu Yunyou and the others are heading to is the largest of the three military camps currently, and the finals will be held here.
When they arrived at the military camp, the star soldiers paid homage to Lan Rou one after another after seeing Lan Rou. There were also many children from aristocratic families who specifically talked to Lan Rou. Lu Yunyou had nothing to say about the enthusiasm of those people. He paid more attention to it. It's on those ordinary star troops.
The spirit of the Star Army is eye-catching. Every soldier, regardless of strength, is very imposing. It is completely different from when he first joined the army. After several bloody battles, the overall strength of the Star Army has far exceeded months ago.
It can be imagined that every battle will make great progress for the soldiers. If there are still wars to fight, the Star Army will make faster progress.
There are now more than 70,000 people in the entire military camp, including more than 3,100 contestants. More than 90% of the soldiers who meet the requirements have chosen to participate in the competition. For no other reason than this competition has attracted much attention. If If they perform well during the game, they will also attract attention.
On the other hand, unlike the usual private competitions, the martial arts competition is more formal and allows participants to understand their own strength. Therefore, many soldiers are very motivated to participate in the competition. Those Star Troops who failed to participate in the competition can only hold on. With the mentality of participating in the next game as much as possible, they are still mainly watching the excitement.
"General Shen, I wonder how different the rules of this competition are from the previous competitions held in the military camp?" As he walked, Lan Jing asked the general who was guiding him next to him about the rules of the competition.
"This martial arts competition is entirely in accordance with the instructions of the marshal to select talents. First, it will establish two competition methods: literary competition and martial arts competition. Second, it will increase the number of contestants." The person Lan Jing called General Shen The person in charge who presided over this conference was walking side by side with Lan Jing, not far from Lu Yunyou and others.
"General, can you make it clearer?" Lan Jing was curious.
"Both the literary competition and the martial arts competition need to select the top 300 people, and then 300 people from the 600 people will be selected for key training."
"During the Wushu Competition, each Star Army has at least two or more opportunities to participate. In the initial stage, only those who win two out of three rounds can stay, and everyone else will be eliminated."
"Martial arts competitions are mainly divided into two levels, the fifth level and the sixth level. The difference is that the fifth level is a mixed competition. The higher the level, the greater the chance of standing out; the sixth level only allows martial arts practitioners of the same level to compete with each other."
"The literary competition is different from the martial arts competition. The literary competition does not look at strength but only intelligence." In order to make Lan Jing understand, General Shen tried to be more detailed, so that everyone could probably understand the meaning.
"General Shen's arrangement is indeed appropriate. It may take some time, but it can prevent some outstanding people from being eliminated directly due to poor performance in the first game or too strong opponents." Understanding what General Shen meant, Lan Jing said directly Give a compliment.
"Today's preliminary round," seeing that Lan Jing seemed to be very interested in the competition, General Shen continued: "Each participant has three chances, but there is no need to compete continuously. There will be a certain amount of rest after each competition. time to make sure they can compete in good physical condition."
"So that's it," he muttered silently. Lu Yunyou, who had participated in the martial arts competition before, completely understood what General Shen meant. The three opportunities to compete did greatly improve the fairness of the competition, and the participants had more chances to win. This will Bring out their potential.
Although the difficulty has increased, the opportunities have increased accordingly. I wonder if the preliminary round can be completed in one day. After all, there are thousands of people participating in the competition in the military camp.
Next, General Shen told everyone about the information related to the competition one by one, so that everyone could understand what this martial arts tournament was like.
By the time General Shen finished speaking, everyone had already walked to the martial arts field. There was an area in front of them that was made of granite. The granite was not as hard as a seventh-level martial artist and could not be destroyed. There was no need to worry during the competition. The problem of destroying the arena.
The martial arts arena was more than double the size of the martial arts arena where Lu Yunyou participated in the previous martial arts competition. Looking at it, it felt like there was no edge to see at a glance. Even the martial arts cultivators had difficulty seeing the corners of the martial arts arena clearly.
"It's so big," Lan Rou exclaimed in surprise after arriving at the edge of the martial arts arena.
"There are more than 3,000 people competing here and more than 30,000 people watching the battle. Naturally, the martial arts arena needs to be bigger," General Shen explained proudly after hearing Princess Lanrou's exclamation.
"But this is too big, I can't bear to see it at all." Then, Lan Rou expressed her own point of view in time, as if she didn't buy General Shen's fault at all.
"General Shen, the martial arts training ground is indeed too big. Even when we are sitting on the edge and watching, we feel far away. How about making it smaller?" The person who spoke was Lan Xu, now the star army general. After Lan Wu left, the army Lan Xu is responsible for all medium and large matters.
Compared to a few months ago, Lan Xu's demeanor has become much calmer. When he speaks now, it feels like Lan Wu is speaking.
"What General Lan said is exactly what he said. The arena is too big for us to sit in the south and watch the battle, let alone the ordinary soldiers who can only stand around the arena and watch the battle." Then another general said that the arena was too big. Today The general who can accompany Lan Jing brother and sister will naturally not be an ordinary general.
After several people said that the arena was too big, General Shen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He originally wanted to build the martial arts arena bigger to show the grandeur of the Star Kingdom, but now it seems that it won't work without changing it.
"Well, there is still some time before the official start of the competition. I will ask people to make the area around the ring smaller, and then use the dismantled scraps to build steps so that everyone can watch the game." With an idea, General Shen immediately thought of an idea. A good idea, it can be regarded as a proper remedy for his failed works.
"That's very good." Seeing that General Shen's method was feasible and would not delay the game, Lan Jing nodded in agreement.
"General Shen, won't the martial arts venues in the other two military camps be similarly large?" Lan Jing was confused.
"Of course not. Because this will be the venue for the finals, I specially expanded the venue." General Shen shook his head quickly, fearing that Lan Jing would hold him accountable.
"That's good." Seeing General Shen quickly shaking his head to explain, Lan Jing didn't want to delve deeper.
Next, at Lan Jing's request, General Shen simply told everyone about some of the arrangements during the competition, such as where Lan Jing and the others should sit around the battlefield, where were the contestants standing, and where were the spectators? In the personnel area, everything is arranged.
As guests invited by Lan Jing, Lu Yunyou and Bai Ye can watch the game in the VIP seats for the time being. Lan Jing also confirmed in person what Lan Rou had said about Lu Yunyou. Regardless of whether Lu Yunyou participated in the competition, Lan Jing had given gave him a place to win, but Lu Yunyou still didn't want to accept the other party's kindness, both to leave the military camp and to hide his physical skills.
The reason why he came to the venue was because he wanted to take this opportunity to meet Ling Yun and Jun Wucheng. In order to achieve his wish, he wanted to explain the matter to Fang Qing as soon as possible.
After accompanying others to visit the venue, Lu Yunyou and others took their seats one after another because of Lan Jing.
Before the competition started, there was nothing to do. Fang Qing, Bai Ye and other young masters from aristocratic families kept talking about how they wanted to participate in the competition. Whether they wanted to compete with others or learn from each other, in short, no one wanted to compete with them at the moment. Fortunately, Lu Yunyou does not need to participate in the competition, so there is no pressure when chatting with other people.
