There were four people in the top thirty who raised the challenge, namely Yang Ling, Wan Jiu, Hao Liao and Bian Pan.????
This situation is rare in previous state competitions. Except for the seeded players, those who have the strength to challenge are usually the children of the five major families, but they will basically reach the top two in the group.
Yang Ling was angry with Ji Xing because of Ding Kui, so he challenged Ji Xing in the first challenge.
The characteristics of the "Wansheng Sword" are somewhat restrained by the "copper gate and iron wall", and Yang Ling's fighting spirit cultivation is also higher than that of Ji Xing. No matter how unwilling Ji Xing is, after a hard battle, Yang Ling still wins this challenge.
Hao Liao from Beilin County set his sights on Hou Guan from Yongfeng County, and even Ding Kui had to admire his vision.
The "White Six" group is the weakest group, and Hou Guan is the second weakest member of the group. Even Ji Xing is better than him.
Hao Liao got his wish and kept the top twenty ranking predicted before the game.
Pingxiang County's Bianpan approached Ke Ji from Zaogou County.
This decision seems quite smart on the surface. Zaogou County ranked second from the bottom in the last state competition, and Ke Ji looked like a soft persimmon.
However, Ke Ji, who won the second round of the championship with Youtai, was very strong and not far behind in scheming. In the last round of the group stage in the morning, knowing that he was likely to be challenged, he retained his strength in the battle with Youtai.
Having already had a head-on battle with Ximenze, Ke Ji was at a disadvantage in all aspects. It only took Ke Ji half an hour to defeat the challenger.
Wanjia thought about it for a whole afternoon and chose Jiangang in Zhenjiang County.
The story that Jiang Ang, an unlucky kid, was defeated by Ding Kui with just one move went viral, and almost the entire Zhennan City knew about it. Based on this incident, Wan Jiu combined Ding Kui's more than 500 moves to defeat Yang Ling, wondering what he should do.
If you can fight Ding Kui in ten or eight moves, then challenging Jiang Ang is the best choice.
Another case of being misled by rumors. It is true that he was defeated by Ding Kui with one move, but in fact, Jiang Ang first fought with Dai Le for a while, and then attacked Ding Kui with 30 moves. After being targeted, he was defeated by one move.
.
In the "White 2" group, Jiang Ang lost to Long Tan, the three favorites, at least because he let go on purpose, otherwise there would be no problem with hitting a hundred moves.
When Wan Jiu realized that he could not interrupt Jiang Ang's "Turbulence Sword", it was too late. He then remembered that Jiang Ang was the legitimate son of the Marquis of Zhenjiang County. With Jiang Ang's training qualifications and resources, he was still stronger than him no matter how weak he was.
.
After the top 30 challenge was completed, the top 20 challenge followed immediately. There were many contestants who proposed the challenge, but there was only one challenge target, Gan Zong from Shiqiao County.
Those who believe that their abilities are superior to Gan Zong include Xun Le, Ma Hun, Jiang Ang, Maocang and Ximenze. They all want to use Gan Zong as a breakthrough to squeeze into the top ten.
After a comprehensive evaluation by the riding division, Xun Le won the right to challenge. The other challengers had no objections to this result. After all, Xun Le was the one who defeated Yang Ling and was also the second favorite to win the championship.
The depressed Gan Zong resisted less than 800 moves before being defeated by Xun Le, who was waiting for his turn, and lost his spot in the national competition which he had obtained in less than half a day.
The first part of the challenge has been completed, and the second part of the challenge has been postponed to the next day due to time constraints.
There is a certain amount of chance in the group drawing. It is possible that many strong players will be assigned to a group. The second part of the challenge gives the strong players a chance. The "final challenge" still retains a glimmer of hope of reaching the top ten.
On October 11th, the second part of the challenge was held among ten people: Ma Hun, Jiang Ang, Yang Ling, Xu Lei, Ke Ji, Hao Liao, Mao Cang, Ximen Ze, Musun and Gan Zong.
As expected, the strongest Yang Ling won the "final challenge", allowing him to keep his hope of entering the top ten without having to go home immediately and suffer terrible punishment.
Although there is still the last bit of suspense about the seats in the national competition, the top ten players currently ranked are full of confidence. Jiang Cao, Long Tan, Yang Zhan, Ding Kui, Gongsun Qi, Xun Yue, Xun Le, Jiang Yu, You Tai, Zhong
Yidu is gearing up and trying to get a better ranking among the top ten.
These ten people are well-deserved and have their own representativeness. Two from the Jiang family, two from the Xun family, one from the Long family, one from the Yang family, and one from the Gongsun family. Ding Kui, You Tai, and Zhong Yi's personal strengths are recognized by everyone.
It can be said that no one is worse than Yang Ling.
There are still many people who want to enter the stadium to watch the game, but there are no longer all-night queues. Only eight counties are still related to the event, and many out-of-town spectators who have come from afar to support their counties have completed their journey.
The format of the state competition finals is the same as that of the county competition. On October 12th, ten players will draw lots and compete against each other.
"Hahaha, your luck has run out, brother Yue. This time I let you try Ding Kui's skills. It's actually the first game of the finals. Congratulations." Xun Le laughed happily.
Xun Le couldn't help but be unhappy because he drew Zhong Yi, who was probably the weakest among the top ten players, while his brother Xun Yue drew Ding Kui.
The other three games were Jiang Cao versus Gongsun Qi, Long Tan versus You Tai, and Yang Zhan versus Jiang Yu. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or an arrangement, but none of the favorites came up against each other.
"Hmph, don't get too happy too soon. Sooner or later we will have a battle, and then we will have to rely on our strength." Xun Yue was unwilling to face Ding Kui in the first match.
"Haha, this matchup is quite good. Hmm? Where is Xuanyuan Huangren?" Shaodian Jian found that Xuanyuan Huang had not returned from the rostrum for a long time.
Master Jiang went out to inquire about it and came back and said: "Reporting to your lord, there are matters that need to be handled by Lord Xuanyuan just now. It should not be finished yet."
"Oh, it turns out we're not here to arrange the draw. Leave him alone and let's watch the game." Shao Dianjian returned his attention to the ring.
The referee was still reading out the rules of the game, and Ding Kui still didn't show "Yue Shang" on the ring, which made his opponent Xun Yue harbor some illusions.
"The game begins!" As the referee announced loudly, tension began to rise on and off the court.
"Slow down!" Just as Ding Kui was about to move, a shout came from below the ring.
Huh? This voice sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Why is he here?
Ding Kui matched the sound in his mind.
The entire "Grand Martial Arts Stage" fell silent. This shout was so penetrating that everyone in the venue heard it.
Who is so bold and dares to stop the state competition? This person is not very powerful, will there be any excitement? Many people have such thoughts in their hearts.
At this time, two people walked out of the VIP passage. One of them was known to everyone, Xuanyuan Huang, the director of the Cavalry Division; the other was tall, with fair hair, thin cheeks but muscular body, and was dressed like a Marquis of the Kingdom.
"Go down." Ding Kun stood up and said two words. Except for Lu Qi, everyone else stood up and followed Ding Kun out of the box.
"Why is he here?" Shao Dianjian looked at Master Jiang who was also confused, with a question mark on his forehead.
When Ding Kui saw the person coming, he quickly ran to the edge of the ring and stood respectfully, as if waiting for instructions.
If Xun Yue could avoid hitting him, he would naturally not rush to take action. He would stand in the field and watch the situation unfold.
"Ding Kui forfeited, and he also forfeited the rest of the game." The visitor said something that made the referee unbelievable.
Ding Kui said to the referee who looked at him in surprise: "I abstain."
Then he jumped off the ring, bowed to the ground in front of the visitor, and said respectfully: "My son, pay homage to your father."
There was an uproar in the whole place. It turned out that this man was Ding Kui's father, Ding Qi, the first-class protector of the kingdom.
On that day, Dingqi received an urgent message from the country and immediately rushed to the Hengduan Mountains without hesitation. After confirming that no one was following him, he sneaked into the cave with the ancient teleportation array and returned to Xiaxi Town through the teleportation array.
When they arrived at Xiaxi Town, Ding went to "Zhongxin Garden" and asked Quan Sihai, and they all rushed to Zhennancheng.
Ding Qi rushed to Zhennancheng, it happened to be the morning of the first day of the finals, and he went straight to the "Grand Martial Arts Stage" without stopping.
The guards of the "Grand Performance Martial Arts Stage" could not stop the Protector of the Country, so Ding Qi did not make it difficult for them and asked them to find Xuanyuan Huang. After all, the matter needed to be addressed to the minister of the Qizhong Branch.
"Well, pack up and we'll head to the capital right away. There's still time to arrive today." Ding Qi said something that Ding Kui didn't understand.
However, Ding Kui knew that there must be some sudden and major incident, otherwise his father would not have rushed back from Lu State, thousands of miles away, and stopped his game.
"Do as the Marquis said." Xuanyuan Huang signaled to the referee on the stage, then turned back to Ding Qi and said, "Fortunately, your son has already obtained a seat in the national competition, and this time it will not affect his journey in the knight competition."
"I hope Minister Xuanyuan understands that this happened suddenly." Ding Qi said politely to Xuanyuan Huang.
"I understand, of course I understand, anyone would treat this matter like this. The Marquis would like to send my regards to Duke An Guo." Xuanyuan Huang replied hurriedly.
Ding Qi explained the reason why Ding Kui gave up the game this time to Xuanyuan Huang on the way in. Xuanyuan Huang did not have the guts to oppose Ding Qi's decision.
Seeing Ding Kun coming with people in a hurry, Ding Qi said to Xuanyuan Huang: "Then we won't disturb the game anymore. Let's take our leave."
"I'm busy with business so I won't send you off. Lord Marquis, please go slowly." Xuanyuan Huang handed him off.
Ding Qi waved to Ding Kui and strode out of the field. When passing Ding Kun and the others, he said: "Uncle Kun will take some money with me to the capital. Uncle Hai is waiting for us outside. Uncle Qian will take people back to his old house."
, If you have anything else, wait until we come back to talk about it."
"Yes, sir."
"As you command, Lord Marquis."
The Hu Guohou family just disappeared in the "Martial Arts Stage".
Xun Yue returned to the rest area with a happy face. Xun Le pointed at him and jumped, "What kind of world is this? When you come to the finals and face Ding Kui, how can you win without a fight?!"
"Who just said that my luck has run out? Hahaha, I'm waiting for you. It's best if you can draw me after fighting Zhongyi. Hehe, don't blame my brother for being rude." Xun Yue felt very happy.
Shaodian Jian finally got Xuanyuan Huang back to the rostrum. Before he could sit down, he asked: "What's going on? Why did Ding Qi come here at this time? Why did he want Ding Kui to give up the game? They were in a hurry to go.
where?"
Xuanyuan Huang sat down, took a breath, and said six words that surprised Shao Dianjian.
