Since it is a fire bearer selection competition, Lu Hongsheng, as the "temporary" fire bearer, naturally has to step down from the position of fire bearer first.
So Yu Meihong asked people to set up a temporary seat for Lu Hongsheng next to the left hand of the person who lit the twelve fires.
Those who are successfully selected among these thirteen people will become the fire bearers, while the remaining twelve will become the fire igniters.
The person holding the fire must be a trancer, which means that in addition to Lu Hongsheng, the people who are qualified to challenge "Sparrow Tail" include Wu Weiwu, Yang Yijian, Chen Darong, Ye Wan, Xu Yan, Qiandai and Yao Jinniang, a total of eight people.
In the past, Tinder has never had so many trancers competing for a seat, usually two or three people, so the rules of the competition are also very simple: whoever wants to be on the stage. In the wheel battle, the last one standing on the stage is the one who takes the seat.
He is the one who holds the fire.
But this time it's very different.
First, there are so many people. In the history of Tinder, there may not have been so many trances competing for a position.
Second, this time the northern faction has three people, while the southern faction has five. The contrast in strength is obvious. This is also the first time that the northern faction is inferior to the southern faction in terms of hard power.
The selection of the fire bearer is no better than that of the previous fire igniter, and the combat power of Trance Boss before was too terrifying, so the arena must be presented in a compressed four-dimensional space with increased reinforcement.
The arena that has been set up now looks like it is only a twenty-meter-diameter platform, but after actually entering, the diameter inside is a full kilometer long. Even so, it is probably not enough for eight people to fight in it.
.
It will naturally take a while to set up such a large compressed space arena, and during the waiting process, the expressions and reactions of all parties are worth pondering:
At the highest referee's seat, among the four igniters, Tong Hai, who represents Torch, has nothing to do with himself and hangs high. No matter who is the igniter, it is impossible to affect his status.
Wu Wenying is also very relaxed. Although there will be a big difference in the combat effectiveness between the gods, the comparison between the north and the south is 5:3. It is obvious that the southern faction has the advantage, and it is very likely that Lu Hongsheng will continue to be the leader of the fire.
The expressions of Wu Xian and Yi Yang from the northern faction were a little gloomy.
Judging from the prestige brought by "Sparrow Tail's" internal record, the financial power in his hands, and the results of the recent vote, once he becomes the leader of the fire, he will definitely overturn the Northern faction's absolute dominance within the fire.
.
As two elders who no longer worry about resources, what they value more than profits is the concept they have been fighting for. They believe that the Southern faction is a capitulation faction, and the taste of this "sparrow's tail" is evident to them.
There is a strong smell of capitalism. If the fire is given to him and the Southern faction is allowed to succeed, will the fire still be the same as before?
Will the weather suddenly change?
Unlike the fire holders on the stage who consider the overall situation of the fire, although the fire holders in the audience have different expressions due to their different positions, most of them still focus on eating the melon.
Time passed slowly in this tense atmosphere.
After the venue was rearranged and Yu Meihong was about to announce the official start of the fire master selection competition, Wu Xian, the fire master sitting in the referee's seat, suddenly shouted: "Stop."
】
"Wait a minute!"
All eyes were on the referee's box.
"Are you sure you want to do this? If you do this, you will completely fall out with the Southern faction. Isn't that bad?"
Yi Yang, the fire master sitting next to Wu Xian, frowned and asked softly in Wu Xian's ear.
"This is the last chance. Chen Darong has just advanced a few days ago, and the ability to hold down one person is already the limit. Yang Yijian can at most tie with Yao Jinniang. Although the three women under Quewei's strength are unknown, they have advanced.
It didn't take long, but the fact that Lu Hongsheng was able to kill so many trancers with their help shows that they should not be underestimated, and Wu Weiwu definitely can't handle it alone." Wu Xian said in a deep voice.
"How about I end up there too?" Yi Yang glanced at Wu Wenying, who was sitting not far away, and asked in a low voice.
Wu Xian shook his head: "You stay and keep an eye on her. If she ends, you go down. If she doesn't end, if we make a mistake, the Northern faction will still have you to support the situation."
Yi Yang stared at Wu Xian for five seconds, then sighed and stopped trying to stop him.
"Is there anything else Wu Zhanghuo needs to add?" Yu Meihong asked.
"As a fire bearer, I feel guilty for my poor performance in the past few years. I am willing to step down from the position of fire bearer with Quewei, and re-elect this fire bearer together with the underachievers!"
After saying that, Wu Xian stood up from the fire master's seat and walked step by step towards the four-dimensional space arena!
The entire venue fell silent.
This...tm is so scary.
You know, Wu Xian is no ordinary fire holder! He is currently the oldest fire holder in the fire industry. He has been sitting in this seat for almost a hundred years!
To say who is the most qualified to sit in the position of Fire Master, there is no doubt that it is him - it can even be said that 99% of the people at the venue joined the Fire Master after he became the Fire Master. The entire Fire Organization,
I have seen him in his active period, and even if he is still alive, he can be counted on the palm of his hand.
Guo Jiu was able to become the boss of the Fire Northern Sect because Wu Xian admired Guo Jiu's ability and voluntarily stepped back and "handed over the important responsibility to the young people."
A hundred years of trance, what kind of strength is that?
The “most legendary and recent man” is him!
Even if he is old and weak now, his own strength is not at a level that the younger generation can imagine!
Yu Meihong was so shocked that she was speechless: "You, you... you old man... eh. How should we choose between these two vacant seats?"
"It's very simple. Everyone goes to the ring. Whether it's a literary competition or a martial arts competition, the two people standing in the ring at the end are the ones holding the fire." Wu Xian glanced at Lu Hongsheng and said calmly.
Wu Wenying looked back nervously at Juzi, who was sitting at the top.
Juzi was sitting at the highest point, and because of the "twilight circle" around him, his expression could not be seen at all.
But Juzi didn't object in words. With Wu Xian's qualifications and status, if he spoke, who in charge of the fire could object?
Yu Meihong waited hesitantly for a long time and did not wait for any of the fire masters on the stage to speak. She could only follow Wu Xian's words and said: "Then... the rules of this selection are: all fire igniters who are aspiring to become fire masters please come on stage.
.The last two fire holders on the stage will become our new fire holders!”
As soon as Yu Meihong finished speaking, the fire bearers in the audience immediately began to whisper and exchange opinions.
This is delicious! Looks like you’ve come to Yunjing at the right time!
Everyone looked at the igniter's seat with eager eyes.
"Let's go up!" Wu Weiwu, who was determined, stood up and said to Yang Yijian and Chen Darong who were sitting below him.
Lu Hongsheng stood up first and waved to the fire bearers in the audience, and then said to his girls: "Now that it's like this, let's go too!"
