At nine o'clock in the morning, the Brave Martial Arts Tournament officially started. There were more than 500 brave warriors from all races participating in the competition. The entire Brave Martial Arts Tournament only lasted two days, so the competition system could not be a elimination method with constant cuts in half, as that would take too long.
The focus of the Budokai is the qualifying match in the afternoon and the championship challenge tomorrow.
Therefore, the competition format in the morning was extremely cruel. More than 500 people were divided into 32 groups, each group had nearly ten people, and they directly entered the melee. Only two people in each group qualified, and a total of 64 people qualified.
In the afternoon, the sixty-four people who qualified were eliminated in a two-by-two duel, and the only winner in the end was qualified to challenge the defending champion Lion.
Therefore, for these more than 500 brave men, today will be a long day. If you want to be qualified to challenge for the championship, you must win a ten-man melee, and sixty-four will advance to thirty-two, and thirty-two will advance to sixteen. , sixteen into eight, eight into four, four into two, two into one, a total of seven duels.
The duels are so intensive, so in order to prevent the players from being too anxious to lose too much physical strength and affecting the next duel, the outcome of the duel is relatively simple.
Except for the two-in-one final duel, which requires fighting until the opponent is no longer able to fight, the rest of the competition will be judged as a failure if the opponent is on all fours or the body goes out of bounds.
The host of the martial arts club fluently explained the rules and announced the official start of the martial arts conference.
The contestants had already been divided into groups backstage, and the nine contestants from the first group took the stage one after another.
The venue for the melee was very wide, about the size of ten football fields, and the nine players were located in various corners of the duel field.
The melee will eventually leave two players, so in addition to using strength to crush the other players in this melee, it is also a way to protect oneself wisely and persist until the last two players are left.
Without absolute self-confidence, no one wants to be the focus of such a melee.
…
When Shi Xiaobai left the area of the extraordinary holy tree, the fragrance that filled the world had almost dissipated.
And the energy gained from swallowing that fruit is being continuously transformed by him, like a steady stream of water.
Shi Xiaobai only felt that his whole body was warm, as if he had taken a sip of strong wine, and his muscles were full of strength. His blood was boiling but not burning, as if even his blood vessels were being transformed.
This was the evolution and transformation of the body, and Shi Xiaobai was extremely happy.
After he left the Holy Tree area, he quickly went to the martial arts club venue.
At this time, the auditorium was almost full of spectators, but luckily there were still a few empty seats. Shi Xiaobai sat down casually, surrounded by green dwarfs and weirdos of other races.
Of course, in the eyes of other aliens, the human being Shi Xiaobai is truly weird, because in their impressions and memories, they have never seen or even heard of such a race.
Shi Xiaobai ignored the probing gazes of others and looked towards the duel field where a fierce melee was taking place while feeling the power being absorbed by his body.
When Shi Xiaobai arrived at the venue, a tight melee had already begun, and he didn't know which group it was in at this time. However, Shi Xiaobai saw that there were neither the three paper farmers nor the eight brave warriors from the extraordinary race. , suddenly no longer interested in watching, and focused on feeling the growth of power.
Such concentration can also speed up the absorption process to a certain extent.
Time passed, and the current melee did not actually last long. After all, falling on all fours or falling out of the field was considered eliminated. Therefore, in about five minutes, there were only two players left on the field.
As soon as this melee ended, the players for the next melee were already ready outside the court. Thirty-six groups of melees were to be held in the morning, so time was quite tight.
Shi Xiaobai found it quite boring, but the audience watched with great enthusiasm. Although the melee scene was not bloody or violent, the chaotic confrontation, whether it was violent crushing or intrigue, as long as it was complex enough, it would always be possible. Let the brainless audience be confused and confused.
At this time, Shi Xiaobai's eyes lit up slightly because he saw that among the next group of contestants, there were Paper Farmer and Liu Yu!
These two human trialists were actually grouped together!
But fortunately, there are only two qualifying places in each group. Not only do the two people not need to "kill each other", they can also cooperate.
Before the game even started, some unbridled discussions could already be heard in Shi Xiaobai's ears.
"Look, what kind of race is that? It looks so strange. Have you seen it?"
"I've never seen it, but I heard it's called 'human'. When I entered the city, I had some conflicts with the giant guarding the gate. It's said that the giant thought this race called humans was inferior to the lowly ants, so he didn't allow it. They come into town.”
"I see. No wonder they look so weak at first glance. How were they chosen as brave men?"
"I don't know, but it doesn't matter. This kind of weakling can't even survive the first round, so there is nothing to pay attention to. Alas, this group does not have the eight brave men of our extraordinary family. I am really looking forward to Lord Moya's appearance!"
“…”
The two green-skinned dwarfs behind Shi Xiaobai were talking without scruples, and their words were full of contempt. Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly.
Shi Xiaobai was a little angry, but did not speak or turn his head.
Verbal arguments are useless. It is most practical to slap the facts in the face. Shi Xiaobai believes in the strength of the two paper farmers. There are no eight extraordinary warriors in this group. They should be able to end the battle soon. By then, this The two green-skinned dwarves will shut their mouths obediently.
…
The melee begins.
Just as Shi Xiaobai expected, without being grouped with the eight brave men of the extraordinary race, those brave men of other races would not cause any pressure on the paper farmers and Liu Yu at all.
But what left Shi Xiaobai speechless was that the battle ended quickly, but it ended too quickly.
The moment the melee started, the paper farmer stabbed out a spear, and the overbearing force directly pushed the five players in front of him to the ground. Liu Yu waved the whisk, and the remaining three players were pushed out of the field by the inexplicable force.
Suddenly, only the paper farmer and Liu Yu were left standing in the field. Both of them were holding back a breath of bad breath, so they used crushing force from the beginning.
The melee only lasted a few seconds, and then it came to an end.
This scene should be shocking, but the ordinary civilians could not understand what was happening.
"what happened?"
"How come all the players except humans fell down and flew out of the field? Is it a fake match?"
"Despicable, he probably bribed the players. It seems that humans are very rich."
“…”
Shi Xiaobai felt helpless listening to these ignorant voices. Sometimes a performance that is too pretentious would be too much, and the audience must understand what kind of pretense you are putting on.
Shi Xiaobai sighed lightly, but there was nothing to be anxious about. The game was still long, and this time the opponent was too weak to reflect the strength of the two paper farmers.
When they duel with the eight heroes of the extraordinary race, these idiots who look down on others will immediately realize how stupid and ignorant they are.
Maybe God heard Shi Xiaobai's inner voice.
In the next melee that was about to begin, Shi Xiaobai suddenly saw Feng Yuanlin and Moya, the second strongest person in the Transcendent Tribe!
