Ding Kui raised his eyes and looked at the others. He didn't know what to look at. He was startled at the sight. He first looked at the shield-breaking knights. The magicians around him had two gold edges on their sleeves.? ?? ??
"This is too fake. Who would believe it if it wasn't arranged?" Ding Kui was angry.
"How? What kind of vacation? What kind of arrangement?" Huang Wan looked around in confusion.
"Isn't it a coincidence that five shield-breaking knights and five staff-wielding magicians are grouped together?" Ding Kui told Huang Wan.
"Ah, their partner is the Shieldbreaker Knight. It is indeed a coincidence, but the champion who emerges from this competition is well-deserved to be the strongest." Huang Wan was not as excited as Ding Kui.
"Okay, you won, did your teacher ask you where to finish?"
"No, the teacher said that I just have to try my best. If I don't defeat others, I can still be considered a winner if I can defeat myself."
"Well, I admit that I fell into this trap. I hope you can be a winner." Ding Kui didn't want to show too much regret in front of Huang Wan.
Steward Quan clapped his hands and said to the thirty-two young people in front of him: "Okay, you have all met your partners. Don't rush to chat now. I will give you one day today to get familiar with each other.
Come and draw lots.
You stand around me in groups of two, and after a while I shoot sixteen stone bullets into the sky. You each group grab one, crush the stone bullets, and there will be a number inside, which is your finals entry number."
Oh, grabbing the stone bullets, this seems to be a lot of chance, it seems to be completely luck. After a while, I can't grab the stone bullet that is close to me, and I have to grab one that is a little further away.
Ding Kui made up his mind that he could no longer be arranged and wanted to take his destiny into his own hands.
"Swish, swish, swish" the stone bullets shot into the air like a goddess scattering flowers. Thirty-two men and women held their breath and stared at the stone bullets above their heads. When they fell, they started fighting.
Fighting for these stone bullets requires jumping on the spot, relying on explosive power. Low-level magicians cannot fly that fast, so this responsibility naturally falls on the knights.
Ding Kui quietly said to Jiang Cao: "I'll lend you my shoulder for a while."
Jiang Cao nodded in understanding.
Steward Quan did not use all his strength to fire the stone bullets, and the sixteen stone bullets flew down less than twenty meters.
Everyone waited for the stone bullet to drop to their starting height before taking action.
Suddenly, Ding Kui jumped up first, and everyone was surprised: This guy can jump so high.
I saw that Ding Kui didn't jump very high, not even reaching the height above his head. What was surprising was that he stretched out his foot and stepped on Jiang Cao's shoulder, and jumped up again.
"This kid is really a thief." Yao Sheng cursed.
"Haha, getting it first is not necessarily the best." Yang Mian said calmly.
Ding Kui's calculation was accurate. When he jumped to the highest point, the stone bullets fell just above his head. He reached out and grabbed two stone bullets with his right hand, and flicked the remaining stone bullets from left to right.
The remaining fourteen stone bullets collided together and changed their original trajectories and shot out in all directions.
"Bastard." Yang Mian, who was originally calm, blurted out. He didn't expect that Ding Kui would not only grab it by himself, but also mess up the other stone bullets. He couldn't help but curse out.
"Hahaha, okay, let's make it chaotic. The more chaotic the better." Long Shuang seemed to dislike Yang Mian, so he went against him.
Long Tan Dingkui was the first to jump up. At this time, the advantage of his stature was reflected, and those who followed were basically taller.
When the others jumped up, Ding Kui had already landed and handed a stone bullet to Jiang Cao. Jiang Cao watched Ding Kui grab two stone bullets and knew that he had his own share, so he did not grab it with the others.
.
Ding Kui crushed the stone bullet and found a small piece of animal skin inside. There was a word "five" on the animal skin. "Haha, it's not three anymore. How could it be such a coincidence? I always draw three every time."
"Humph, you are being smart." Manager Quan said in a low voice.
This voice happened to reach Ding Kui's ears, and his heart tightened: "I am going to suffer, I seem to be overthinking it, they didn't try to kill me, they really did it this time."
"Mine is Eleven." Jiang Cao showed his animal skin to Ding Kui.
Ding Kui did a quick mental calculation and said: "Fortunately, there is no way we can face each other."
With a "bang", the Dragon Calm fell back to the ground. Fortunately, the soil ground was reinforced by magic and no holes were created. "Hey, I am number six."
"No way." Looking at the wand-wielding magician beside Long Tan, Ding Kui's voice sounded a bit tragic.
"Oh? What's your number?" Long Tan looked at the animal skin in Ding Kui's hand, "Number 5, is it number 5 vs. number 6?"
Ding Kui glanced at the sneer on Steward Quan's lips and said dejectedly: "I was not sure at first, but now I am sure."
"Haha, I can finally make up for the regret of the state competition. If I don't have a formal match with you, I, the number one in Wangzhou, will not feel at ease." Long Tan didn't care about anyone.
"I don't feel uneasy at all. Fighting within the same state is not a good thing. It will take two rounds anyway." Ding Kui was not afraid of Long Tan, but he just didn't want to meet his fellow countrymen too early.
"You have a pretty good idea. After two rounds, you have entered the top four, and you can't play in other states." Yao Sheng also snatched the stone bullets back. Hearing Ding Kui's words, he was unhappy and ridiculed him.
At this time, the Cavaliers got back the stone bullets for the sixth time, but they didn't know the rules of the match yet.
"Okay, now you all know your numbers, let me announce the rules of the battle.
You play against each other in ascending order of numbers, that is, number one versus number two, number two versus number three, and so on.
After promotion, the numbers will be played against each other in order from small to large, and before the finals, numbers 1 to 8 will not meet numbers 9 to 16." Manager Quan announced.
"Oh." At this time, the contestants began to pay attention to other people's numbers.
No. 1 Kong Ren versus No. 2 Yao Sheng;
No. 3 Xuanyuan vs. No. 4 Bai Zhen;
No. 5 Ding Kui vs. No. 6 Long Tan;
No. 7 Yang Mian is tired of No. 8;
No. 9 Shaodian Fei versus No. 10 Li Fan;
No. 11 Jiang Cao vs. No. 12 Fan Jun;
No. 13 Long Shuang versus No. 14 Yang Zhan;
Lu's decree on the 15th was indifferent to the 16th.
Seeing such a result, Ding Kui had to admit that he had made another coincidence in this round. The shield-breaking knight and the wand-wielding magician avoided the duel in the first round, and both faced the fighting spirit knight and the robed magician.
After determining their opponents, the scene suddenly became quiet, and the players were all sizing up their opponents.
My No. 3 and No. 4 Bai Zhen can’t beat Jiang Cao. If you give me No. 3, you can safely enter the second round.
Ding Kui's tears lingered in his stomach, and he didn't even think about it. If he hadn't dialed the number, number four might not have been in vain.
At this time, Steward Quan's voice sounded again.
"The finals will be held in this magical space. This is where high-level magicians practice magic. There is a magic circle set up by the God of Magic. No matter how you mess around, it will not cause damage.
In addition, there is a surveillance circle outside to see what's going on here, and the audience can watch your game in the square of the Magician's Association.
The first round of the finals will start at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and the first game will be Kong Ren versus Yao Sheng. From now until five o'clock in the afternoon, you can stay here to get familiar with your partners and the venue."
After speaking, Manager Quan began to sink into the ground until his whole body was buried in the soil.
Huang Wan looked at Ding Kui's widened eyes and said: "Uncle Master uses the 'Earth Travel', which can teleport a certain distance underground. It can teleport a distance of about one kilometer in one breath."
"Do you know how?"
"How is that possible? It's a fifth-level earth magic. It can't be used by a magician without forbidden magic." Huang Wan didn't blame Ding Kui for being naive. It was normal for knights not to understand magic.
"By the way, what magic can you use?"
"I can use stone bullets, and, and..." Huang Wan's voice became lower and lower.
"What else? Just say, we are partners now, there is nothing to hide."
"There are also two auxiliary magics, addition and stone skin."
"Additional skills? Why did you learn this so early? Stoneskin is useless to me, and it is impossible to use it on my opponents. I finally understand why your teacher asked you to do your best." Ding Kui's mouth was full of bitterness.
Huang Wan blushed and said: "The stone skin technique is really not useful in the competition, but the addition technique can increase the speed of stone bullets. When I was a trainee magician, the teacher asked me to practice these two magics hard, which can make my stone bullets more powerful.
The technique is more powerful."
"Oh?" Ding Kui became interested, "How can the magic be used like this? Isn't this a compound magic?"
"I don't know what compound magic is, but Stone Bullet and Addition can be used together. Because the speed requirements are very high, the two magics are almost completed at the same time and require multitasking." Huang Wan's face finally appeared.
confidence.
"Two uses at one time? Yes, why didn't I think of that before?" Ding Kui patted his thigh.
"What did you think of?"
"Ah, it's nothing. I thought of a subtle sword move, and I can try to do it twice. Haha, I have already won the game of getting to know you. It's a worthwhile trip." Of course, Ding Kui would not tell Huang Wan, nor would he
You can try to cast magic at once.
"Really? I helped you defeat yourself? Congratulations, it turns out that I didn't hold you back." Huang Wan's eyes brightened, and he no longer struggled with whether he had a strong partner or whether he could help.
The companions won.
"It's not holding me back. This unique skill of superimposing magic is enough to prove that you are a genius. As for whether you can defeat your opponent, we just have to try our best." Ding Kui pointed at the man who was flying in the air and used the sword light of Dragon Calm to cast the wind blade.
Magician, "Look, these two are our opponents in the first game."
Huang Wan watched Long Tan's training seriously for a while, then said to Ding Kui with a grimace: "My magic poses no threat to either of them."
"Who told you this? Although they are both one level above us, we are still capable of fighting. I can't say that we will definitely win against them. It is not difficult to cause big trouble for them. Let's go over there and study
Come up with a way to deal with them, don't let them see it." Ding Kui, who was confident, pulled Huang Wan to a corner.
