The lively atmosphere became more and more intense, and everyone could speak freely. Siblings Tangyi and Tangbao followed the crowd. Now Tangbao was having a close conversation with Ni Youbin. He didn't know what they were talking about, and he never participated in the conversations of others.
Facts have proved that the two of them really get along with each other. To put it harshly, it can even be described as having a bad rapport. In the past few days, Fang Qing and Bai Ye were no match for the two of them in terms of talking skills. For this reason, the two People are gradually being isolated by others. Of course, this does not affect the two of them from taking the initiative to communicate with other people.
Because of the relationship with Sugar Baby, Ni Youbin seemed to have completely forgotten Ni Ming's death, and returned to his usual clever and active nature. Of course, he never forgot to avenge Ni Ming, but it was a pity that the world wanted to meet him. It is not easy to find an enemy.
It is worth mentioning that not long after returning to Pofeng City, Lu Yunyou also learned some information about the Chaos Ridge from Ni Youbin. It turned out that the situation in the Chaos Ridge was even more chaotic than before. With the group of bandits causing trouble everywhere, the chaos On the other side of Zhiling, there is also constant fighting, and mourning is everywhere.
After learning about this situation, he had recently been worried about the safety of Hong Ying and others, and was even more anxious to tell Ling Yun the news, but he never had the chance to see Ling Yun.
Putting aside that matter, when Tangbao and Ni Youbin were whispering, Tangyi could only watch from the side. After seeing some of Ni Youbin's nature, Tangyi was unwilling to get too close to Ni Youbin, and Tangyi was still very worried. Ni Youbin brought sugar baby into bad shape.
Lan Rou is standing next to Lu Yunyou at the moment. As before, Lan Rou likes the feeling of staying with Lu Yunyou, but Lu Yunyou wants to keep a distance from her, so Lu Yunyou always feels a little uncomfortable next to Lan Rou. Fortunately, he There were Ni Youbin and Tangbao beside him. The two people kept talking, which made him relax a lot.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the venue was already crowded with people. Everyone was excited for the upcoming martial arts competition, especially the Star Army who came to watch the battle.
"Brother Lu, you seem to be in a bad mood. Are you not interested in this competition?" Before the martial arts competition was about to begin, Fang Qing asked curiously when he saw that Lu Yunyou had not spoken.
"No," Lu Yunyou shook his head. He didn't intend to explain anything to Fang Qing. The place was so noisy and he just wanted to wait quietly for the game to start.
"Brother Lu, if you feel bored? I can talk to you," Fang Qing was very concerned about Lu Yunyou's mood. Seeing that Lu Yunyou seemed to have something on his mind and looked unhappy, Fang Qing wanted to know more.
"Fang Qing, you are busy with your business, don't worry about me," he still didn't intend to accept Fang Qing's kindness. Now that Lan Rou was not talking to him, Lu Yunyou wanted to think about his problem.
"Okay then," Fang Qing nodded, no longer forcing Lu Yunyou, and then turned around to discuss the martial arts tournament with Bai Ye and others. Information about the competition continued to reach Lu Yunyou's ears, while analyzing what others said, While thinking about his own affairs, Lu Yunyou could still stay for the time being.
Not long after, General Shen stood up from the VIP seat and waved to everyone present to be quiet. After the area around the venue quieted down, General Shen used his powerful voice to deliver a speech before the start of the conference. He first explained the reason for holding the martial arts competition, and then They talked about how many people were participating in the competition, and finally emphasized how many distinguished guests they invited.
While General Shen was speaking, there was a steady stream of applause around the venue, which gradually stopped when General Shen talked about the rules of the competition. Then when the competition officially started, warm applause erupted around the venue again.
After General Shen finished speaking, Lu Yunyou had a full understanding of this martial arts tournament based on all the information he had heard before.
As Lan Jing said before, the rewards of the martial arts competition are indeed very generous. Not only the rewards in terms of spirit stones have been greatly increased, but also weapons rewards can be obtained by reaching the top 100. The difference is that Qian Feng is also competing with them for the rewards. country people.
The purpose of those people's participation was not for prizes, but more to see the strength of the Star Kingdom's martial arts cultivators, and even to take this opportunity to hurt the Star Army's face.
The same as the previous martial arts competition, this competition still provides weapons from the army, and the basic principle of the competition is still point-to-point. In this way, the fairness and safety of the competition are greatly improved. Participants only need to play well in each battle. Just try it out on the field.
In the preliminary round, there are one hundred people participating in each game. The competition time is limited to a quarter of an hour. After subtracting the time for personnel to appear, treat the injured and clean the martial arts field, there is no problem in holding six competitions in one hour. There are five hours of competition time in a day. It only takes one day for more than a thousand people to complete the first round of competition.
Three days later, the preliminary round ends, at least half of the people can be eliminated, and the remaining people continue to participate in the subsequent competition. Although the rules of the preliminary round are simple, it is a necessary way to the finals. The further you go, the more worth watching.
Since the participation of former Feng Kingdom people would make the competition more exciting, many people were excited as soon as the martial arts tournament was about to begin.
After the competition started, a large number of people walked out from the east side where only the contestants could stand. They were all fifth-level martial arts cultivators. They walked to the martial arts field one by one with nervousness, excitement, and confidence. After a hundred people were filled, , the person in charge there stopped letting people play.
There were more than a dozen referees on the martial arts field. Under their instructions, one hundred martial arts practitioners were distributed in the corresponding areas and each found an opponent.
After a while, the people on the martial arts field were neatly distributed, and the scene looked very spectacular from top to bottom. The more than ten referees had their own areas of responsibility, and they would be specifically responsible for all group competitions on the martial arts field.
Following General Shen's order, the competition officially began. The contestants launched attacks on their opponents one after another. Amidst the flashes of swords and the shadows of swords, there were clanging sounds of fighting. Before the competition was not found, everyone wanted to see it. It was all chaos, with figures swaying here and there, making it dizzying.
It wasn't until they found the group of competitions they wanted to watch that the chaotic situation changed. For sixth-level martial arts cultivators, the competition between fifth-level martial arts cultivators was just foreplay. They tried their best and could only find a few from them. Many highlights.
But no matter what outsiders think, everyone participating in the competition plays very seriously, and each one has the idea of defeating the opponent as soon as possible. After all, their performance determines their future development in the army to a certain extent. No one wants to give up. other side.
After constant training, those star soldiers no longer looked as clumsy as they did in the beginning, only using brute force to attack. Now their fighting methods have been greatly improved. Many people have learned to use moves. Of course, as a fifth-level It is normal for a martial artist to have some martial arts skills.
Today's game was much more exciting than the one he participated in before. The figures dangling in the ring made Lu Yunyou feel that everyone participating was not like an ordinary soldier. However, according to Fang Qing's explanation, the people who appeared in the early stage They are all members of the Star Army.
Unexpectedly, in just a few months, the Star Army had made such great progress. Lu Yunyou was amazed in his heart. As he continued to pay attention, he even felt that he was no better than those fifth-level martial arts cultivators in the ring.
Time passed little by little, and before half a quarter of an hour, some team members had already finished the competition. The huge disparity in realms meant that the first ones to be eliminated were all fifth-level early stage martial arts cultivators, competing with those who were one level higher than them. They lost very quickly, but they were all star troops. Although everyone with high strength pursued victory, they would not seriously injure their opponents for this.
When the limited time is up, there will be about one-third of the people left in the martial arts arena. Regardless of whether they win or lose, those people will leave from wherever they entered the arena. Those responsible for statistical information will leave after they leave. Their wins and losses are recorded during the martial arts field. According to the rules of the game, a draw means a loss in doubles. The next ones can only advance if they win two games in a row.
After the relevant personnel cleaned up the martial arts arena, General Shen immediately announced the start of the second match without any delay. From there, many people kept coming up from the contestants area. After the number of people was gathered, more than ten referees replaced those people as before. People arrange games.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye. There were six full competitions and six hundred participants. The progress of the competition was as fast as expected. After constant observation, Lu Yunyou really learned some practical skills, so much so that he couldn't wait to find someone to verify his findings. .
Like Lu Yunyou, those sixth-level martial arts cultivators who are watching the battle have been looking for bright spots in the martial arts field, because some fifth-level martial arts cultivators perform better than them in some aspects. That is something worth learning for them, but if they want to learn It takes a certain amount of luck to get something, so they are just joining in the fun.
Unknowingly, another hour passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was halftime. The game continued, but people in the VIP seats could leave at will.
Lan Jing and General Shen left one after another. A banquet had already been held in the military camp. Lan Jing and the generals wanted to entertain the distinguished guests who had been invited from all over Feng Kingdom.
Naturally, Lu Yunyou and others did not leave with Lan Jing, and still sat in the slightly empty VIP seats to watch the following game.
The winner left the game with a proud look on his face, as if he had reached the top 300, while the loser looked dejected, as if he had been eliminated.
The competition is going on fiercely. At the same time, Pofeng City is also very lively. The streets and alleys are decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Many civilians gather together to hold worship ceremonies and pray to heaven for peace. The Sword King Festival puts them in an equal position. Today they can pray to God together.
