There are no years of cultivation, and the days and nights have been forgotten.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This day is the annual promotion competition for registered disciples to be promoted to sect disciples. It is the most nervous, exciting and happiest day for registered disciples in the year. To all the registered disciples participating in the promotion competition
For many people, this day is a holiday, and perhaps one may accidentally become a disciple of the sect that is envied by everyone. Some confident people even regard this day as a turning point in their lives.
Before dawn in the morning, Liu Yun and Liu Lianfeng got up early. After a brief preparation, the two of them left the courtyard of the registered disciples and came to the square where the East Campus registered disciple promotion competition was held. This square
, flat, wide, with a square area of 100,000 feet. Looking around, nearly 10,000 white circles have been drawn on the ground of the square. Each circle is enough for two people to fight in it. Nearly 10,000 circles are enough.
It can accommodate 20,000 people fighting at the same time.
This year, there are exactly 20,000 registered disciples who have signed up to participate in the promotion competition, and they can take the stage at the same time to compete for male and female. According to the competition plan of the promotion competition, this promotion competition implements a round-robin elimination system, which is divided into five rounds of round-robin elimination. After the first round,
Ten thousand people will be eliminated, and the winner will enter the second round by drawing lots; in the second round, the ten thousand people who won the first round will be divided into five thousand groups for simultaneous competition, and five thousand people will be eliminated again, and the winner will
Five thousand people will then enter the third round; in the third round, the five thousand people will be divided into 2,500 groups to fight. The winning 2,500 people will then enter the fourth round; in the fourth round, 1,200 people will be eliminated again.
Fifty people, and the remaining 1,250 people entered the fifth round; in the fifth round, the 1,250 people who won the fourth round were divided into 625 groups to fight. In the end, only
The winning 625 people will become the newly admitted disciples of the East Campus this year. In other words, all the registered disciples of the courtyard who participate in the promotion competition, if they can persist throughout the whole process and successfully pass the five rounds of knockout rounds, will
Being able to become a disciple of the academy will provide you with the advantageous resources of the entire academy for cultivation, practice the unique skills of the academy, and receive careful guidance from the ten elders of the academy. It is an extremely honorable thing.
"Ah, the number of people who signed up to participate in the promotion competition this year has almost doubled compared to last year, and the number of disciples included in the sect is obviously half less than last year. It's really one of the best!" A registered disciple who signed up to participate in the promotion competition saw the square
After seeing the competition rules posted on the notice board nearby, I was very impressed. It can be imagined that this year's promotion competition is much more difficult than last year's.
Another registered disciple took up what this registered disciple said and was also very annoyed: "Yes, in the five-round knockout competition, the one who can persist to the end is the winner. If you lose one game during the period, all your previous efforts will be wasted. This is too harsh, right?
Why don’t we let people advance?”
Some registered disciples lamented: "How could it be so strict last year? Why did the rules suddenly change this year? There are so many people who signed up, and there are so few promotion places. This is not a selection of disciples. This is clearly an election."
A disciple of the sect."
"Yes, this dear friend is absolutely right. I think this promotion competition is to prepare for the Qitian Sect disciple selection competition at the end of the year. It is an initiative of our East Campus to cultivate outstanding disciples.
This is to prepare for Qitian Sect to send more capable forces." One of the named disciples even speculated on the intentions of the senior leaders of the East Academy in setting the rules for this promotion competition.
"You are right to the point. For registered disciples like us who did not pass the promotion competition last year, it may not be easy for us to pass such a strict selection this year! Alas, I am afraid we will have to do another handyman, and we will have to It is the last word to practice hard..."
…
The registered disciples participating in the competition were talking a lot. Everyone could only talk dryly, but they had to accept such perverted competition rules.
Liu Yun also squeezed to the bulletin board and carefully read the rules of the promotion competition. The rules clearly stated that any magic weapon or skill can be used in the competition. As long as the opponent can be knocked down and unable to get up, he will win; this is not allowed in the competition. The use of heretical means, such as the use of poison darts, poisonous mist, thunder, etc., once discovered, will be disqualified from the promotion competition; during the competition, once the opponent admits defeat or has been knocked down, he can no longer attack, and violators will be punished. Disqualified from the promotion competition...
These rules are actually to allow every registered disciple who participates in the promotion competition to compete openly and honestly, without using underhand tricks or damaging moves, let alone avenging private revenge. Of course, Liu Yun and Liu Lianfeng do not have any enemies, but as for their enemies, they only have the academy. There are a few disciples like Shen Hao and Wang Han, but I can’t meet them in this promotion competition. Maybe at the end of the year, I will see them in the qualifying competition of the disciples of the East Campus, or after that, I will see them among the disciples of the Qitian Sect. He would meet them in the selection competition. Liu Yun thought to himself that by that time, he would no longer tolerate or be polite to them. As long as they dared to provoke, they would be left in a miserable state.
"Please be quiet, everyone. The annual East Campus Disciple Promotion Competition is about to begin. Registered disciples who participate in the competition are asked to be prepared. If you haven't drawn a lot yet, please quickly find the elder who draws the lot." A person said. The courtyard gate elder walked to the center of the square and said loudly, "Now, the registered disciples who participated in the first round of promotion competition are invited to enter and familiarize themselves with the arena."
As soon as the elder finished speaking, the participating disciples entered the arena one after another and found their positions. The team of 20,000 people rushed to the square like a tide, which was very spectacular.
Liu Yun quickly found his place in the competition. In the first round, Liu Yun faced off against a registered disciple named Yang Liu. Liu Yun stood in the competition circle, glanced at his opponent, and waited for the order to start the competition.
After half a cup of tea, I finally heard the command "The game starts now!"
After hearing the order, Liu Yun clasped his hands and said to his opponent Yang Liu: "Please!"
Yang Liu was not polite, he took tiger steps, made a series of punch marks with both hands, and hit Liu Yun's face violently. Liu Yun did not dodge or dodge, and made a mark of controlling the moment with both hands. With one move, Yang Liu was frozen in a moment. He couldn't move, he kept his eyes open and was anxious. Yang Liu couldn't even believe that the opponent subdued him with just one move. This was so unlucky. He met a ruthless character in the first round. He couldn't even dream of it. Unexpectedly, Liu Yun was indeed much more powerful than he imagined.
"Yang Liu was eliminated, Liu Yun entered the second round!" A voice rang in Liu Yun's ear. The winner was decided, Liu Yun quickly broke the move and allowed Yang Liu to resume his activities. At this moment, Yang Liu's face looked extremely ugly. .Obviously, being eliminated in the first round was such a heavy blow to Yang Liu. In this regard, Liu Yun seemed a little helpless. He retreated to the square and found a seat to sit down and rest, waiting for the next round of competition.
Over there, Liu Lianfeng was fighting hard against a young man of short and medium height. The two sides were equally powerful. After dozens of rounds, Liu Lianfeng relied on his unique skills to control the moment and won with a half-move advantage. After leaving the field, Liu Lianfeng was out of breath.
He booed and came to Liu Yun's side: "The battle just now was really dangerous. With this attitude, the next round will be a bit uncertain!" Liu Lianfeng was a little frustrated.
"Brother, it doesn't matter, just do your best, don't think too much, have a good rest, let go of your baggage, and prepare for the next round." Liu Yun patted Liu Lianfeng on the shoulder and encouraged him to face it bravely.
The first round of competition finally ended. In the second round, the 10,000 winners took the stage again and were divided into 5,000 groups of two people to compete at the same time. This time Liu Yun faced a Biaohan named Jin Biao.
As the name suggests, he is very strong and powerful. With Liu Yun's current height, he only reaches Jin Biao's chin, which is a whole head shorter. When the two of them faced off, Liu Yun felt that the person standing in front of him was a giant, but this was not the case.
Influenced Liu Yun's determination to become a disciple of the academy.
Liu Yun still said the same unhurried words: "Please!" He made a fist-clasping gesture with both hands.
Jin Biao did not wait for Liu Yun to finish speaking, and punched Liu Yun in front of him. The wind of his fist was like a knife, as if he wanted to cut the air. Liu Yun was about to suffer a loss when he saw it. Pay attention to Liu Yun from the outside of the square.
The onlookers screamed in surprise. However, Liu Yun still refused to dodge in the face of such a surprise attack. Just like in the first round, he once again made a mark of instant control with his hands, directly controlling Jin Biao's sandbag-sized fist. Right there.
When Jin Biao's fist was about to hit Liu Yun, a strong force forcefully immobilized his fist. Even with all his strength, it was of no avail and he could not move.
What is going on? Jin Biao was very surprised. Could this be the legendary moment of control, a profound skill that only disciples of the academy can practice? If Jin Biao met other people, it should not be a problem to pass this round.
But he happened to meet Liu Yun, and he could only complain about the injustice.
"Jin Biao was eliminated, Liu Yun won." Another voice sounded in Liu Yun's ears.
Liu Yun easily subdued his opponent with just one move and successfully won the second round. Just like the situation after making a profit in the first round, he released his grip on Jin Biao and returned to the edge of the square.
Sit down and rest in the empty seats, watching Liu Lianfeng's battle with others.
This time, Liu Lianfeng faced a tall and thin man, who was obviously at a disadvantage. Liu Yun frowned, but there was nothing he could do. If Liu Lianfeng had practiced the magic of meditation, he would not be able to deal with this tall and thin man at this moment.
I thought that after the competition was over, I would teach him a few meditation techniques to strengthen his cultivation.
After more than 20 rounds of fighting, Liu Lianfeng repeatedly used his two special skills of controlling the moment and fist, palm, and universe, which made the tall and thin man unable to attack. However, Liu Lianfeng was unable to master the skills and was unable to subdue his opponent. This way
The fight continued, but neither of them got any advantage, and neither could win. The judging elder had no choice but to rule that the two were a draw, and the two successfully entered the third round.
