Chapter 247 The legend appears, the red-eyed black dragon!
On the 14th, one day before the competition, Lin You went out again.
This time, I didn’t go to any major dueling hall.
No need.
Yesterday I had a pretty good dueling experience at Jiangcheng Duel Hall.
It can be regarded as a test of one's current strength.
It has indeed grown a lot compared to before.
The most obvious one is probably the magic power utilization.
In the past, Lin You had a lot of magic power, but instead he had a situation where his own card resources could not match the consumption.
If you tell others about this situation, they will probably die of envy.
What a happy trouble!
But now, it is much stronger than before.
All kinds of large consumers are waiting for the supply of magic power. No matter what, there will be no such ridiculous thing as oversupply.
Since he didn't participate in the duel, Lin You basically spent the whole day wandering around.
Look at the scenery and feel the lively Jiangcheng.
It was a really pleasant day.
In the blink of an eye, it's night.
After casually eating some special snacks on the street, we returned to the villa and went to bed early.
…
The next day.
Early in the morning, Lin You quickly got out of bed, washed up, and went out directly.
Today is the opening day of the National Freshman Exchange Competition.
And not only the opening, it is said that the first round of competition will be held on the same day.
As for the content of the competition, it is not yet known.
If it were the most routine, it might be a simple and crude duel between two.
But some people will automatically advance in the first round.
This will also prevent some capable unlucky people from bumping into these top contestants and being eliminated early.
In previous years, such arrangements were not uncommon.
Soon, Lin You arrived at the Welcome Square.
A bus has stopped there.
Around the bus, some school leaders can be seen.
In addition, many students came specially to see him off.
Starting today, the twenty contestants from Jiangcheng will gather here and then go to the venue of this competition together——
Jiangcheng Association!
At this moment, Lin You's appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"It's Lin You, Lin You is here."
"I don't know how far Lin You will be able to achieve this year. I have a hunch that he will definitely be a blockbuster in this competition!"
"That's for sure. With his strength, he might be able to rank among the top ten contestants this time!"
"The top ten may be a bit exaggerated, but the top fifteen are there, but that's enough."
"Don't exaggerate, haven't you heard? The day before yesterday, Lin You easily defeated a duelist named Sun Yuwei at the Jiangcheng Duel Hall. This guy is one of the top five in the Magic City!"
"Damn it, is there such a thing?"
"It's absolutely true. I've heard about it too. Many people at the scene saw it. There are people in the Duel Kingdom talking about it."
As they discussed this, the eyes of the instructors and school leaders also focused on Lin You.
I know it all in my heart.
This year's Jiangcheng University may experience a big explosion because of his appearance!
Lin You was used to receiving such attention and walked over calmly.
After seeing Heiyuan in the group of mentors, he waved to him as a greeting.
After that, I nodded to Vice Principal Xia Yan and got on the bus.
Although it was still early, there were already some people sitting in the car.
Most of them are students from Jiangcheng University. After all, it is most convenient to be on campus.
Jiangcheng University occupied a quarter of the quota this time, that is, five people.
Lin You also heard about the final ownership of these five places.
Putting aside himself, the other four were eventually named Xia Mu, Xiao Yi, Qi Yuxuan and Deng Zhuo.
This list is also more in line with Lin You's expectations.
It is a pity that students with strong abilities such as Zeng Xi, Chen Mu, and Wan Yibin failed to get this opportunity to participate in the competition.
These people may even be stronger than most of the contestants.
After all, many cities are weak in duel strength.
However, the competition still takes great care of these cities and allocates at least five places.
The top ten duel cities, including the host Jiangcheng, only have twenty places each.
This has led to the emergence of many relics.
Jiangcheng has it, and other strong duel cities naturally have it too.
Especially Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, and maybe some of their legacy can defeat more than 90% of the contestants.
But it's a pity, the ownership of the quota has long been settled, and there is no point in thinking about it anymore.
Right now, sitting in the car are the other four people participating in this competition.
They all sit near the front.
There was only one person sitting quite far back.
This person is not from Jiangcheng University, nor is he from one of the top ten universities.
It's the one who got the last spot in the multi-school competition.
Speaking of which, they are also acquaintances.
Zou Xiang whom I met at Jiangcheng Duel Hall the day before yesterday.
Zou Xiang, who was alone in the back seat, saw Lin You getting into the car, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly turned his head to the side and pretended not to notice.
Lin You didn't pay attention. He just glanced at each other briefly, then looked at Xia Mu and the others in front of him, and said with a smile: "Everyone, you got up very early."
Qi Yuxuan smiled and said: "On such an important day, it's hard to get up late. I had a little insomnia last night."
Xia Mu chuckled and said, "It's not surprising, I'm a little excited and nervous."
"Making a fuss out of a molehill."
Xiao Yi snorted lightly and said something to Xia Mu.
Deng Zhuo was even more straightforward, saying nothing at all, closing his eyes and concentrating.
Lin You smiled, "Really? I slept very comfortably last night."
As he said that, he changed the topic again, "But today's game is really exciting. I don't know what kind of competition format it will adopt. If it is a regular two-on-one duel, it will be very busy."
Xia Mu laughed and said: "You don't have to worry about this at all. If so, you, the 'big devil', would not be able to get a bye in the first round, which would be unreasonable."
Qi Yuxuan also smiled and said, "I agree."
Lin You shrugged, "It's too boring and meaningless. I would also like to learn from you early to see what the specific standards of the super newcomers in major cities are like."
Hearing him talk about this, Xia Mu couldn't help but said: "It is said that you went to Jiangcheng Duel Hall the day before yesterday and had a contest with a master from Magic City. How did it feel? The rumors said that the other party was vulnerable. For a moment, I was confused.
It’s hard to tell the truth from the false.”
It’s hard to tell, but it’s not definitely false!
Obviously, even if Xia Mu did not witness the results of Lin You's deck evolution, he still had full confidence in him.
In fact, even if he didn't witness it with his own eyes, it didn't stop him from guessing something.
After all, this time, their decks have been strengthened a lot before the competition.
Lin You is probably even more so.
He got the association's three customized cards.
At this moment, when asked about his thoughts, Lin You thought about it seriously and then said: "Very strong. To be honest, with his strength, if he faced me before, the result might be completely different."
Xia Mu's eyes moved slightly. Lin You's words revealed a lot of information.
The Lin You from before, this refers to naturally, was him during the training camp.
At that time, everyone could see Lin You's strength, he was very strong!
Otherwise, how could he have won the first place in the training camp with an overwhelming number of points?
But Lin You like this could still be easily defeated by the rumored Magic City master?
In addition, such a magic city master was crushed against the current Lin You!
At this moment, Xia Mu felt an unfathomable feeling from Lin You.
How strong is Lin You today?
Not only him, but several other people also heard something from it, and they all felt a little shocked in their hearts.
Because of the strength of the newcomers in Magic City!
Especially because Lin You has made another leap in strength!
With these emotions, Xia Mu also had some expectations, "Then this time, it will be really lively."
Several people were chatting about this competition in the car, and time passed by.
Gradually, contestants from the top ten universities also arrived one after another.
These contestants are basically familiar faces.
Du Zhizhong and Ji Ming of Maple Leaf.
Song Ming from Wasp, Zhang Xia from Feiheng, Chen Yizhe, and Deng Yuxin from Qianye.
Putting aside these acquaintances, the remaining ones are all talented students who have performed brilliantly in previous training camps.
With everyone gathered together, the bus became more lively.
And soon, another person got on the bus.
Xia Yan!
The vice president of Jiangcheng University is the leader of this competition.
After Xia Yan got on the bus, he glanced at everyone in the car and said solemnly: "Now that we are all on the bus, let me just say a few words. This national freshman exchange competition will be the best time for you, the new generation of geniuses."
An ideal opportunity to express yourself and shine.”
"If you can stand out in this competition, you will definitely be on the radar of the Duelists Association, and you will get invitations to join major branches and even the general association in the future. Your future is limitless, and this will be your biggest opportunity."
"Let's not talk about the long-term future. Let's talk about the present. Once you can get good results, various resource rewards will come one after another. You may not worry about the lack of training resources for a long time."
Xia Yan spoke very formally, but his words were full of temptation.
Soon, he added: "Putting aside personal aspects, your university and even the city will shine because of this, and will be proud of your efforts. This honor will forever be engraved in the city's palace of merit, and will always be remembered.
.So this competition is a glorious trial for you and Jiangcheng. I am looking forward to what kind of answers you can give in this trial."
Everyone listened quietly.
Listening to these, more or less a trace of blood welled up in my heart.
Correspondingly, there seems to be a bit more responsibility on my shoulders.
Xia Yan paused, and finally said in a concentrated voice: "In short, go all out to let people in the country know that Jiangcheng will be the biggest dark horse in this trial. Any so-called overlord will be on tenterhooks if he does this.
Do you have any confidence?"
"have!"
When the words came to this, the passion in everyone's hearts was ignited, and they answered in unison with great momentum.
"good!"
Xia Yan was very satisfied and then looked at the driver, "Master Zhang, we can set off."
"okay!"
The driver's mood seemed to be rising, and he wished he could smoke a small stick at this time. He couldn't express his emotions, so he had to step on the accelerator.
The huge bus flew out of his hand like a restless elf.
…
At the same time that everyone in Jiangcheng set off, contestants from various schools in hotels booked across Jiangcheng also set off under the guidance of their teachers.
Destination, Jiangcheng Association.
Goal, champion!
Yes, champion.
Regardless of whether it is realistic or not, the momentum of winning the championship should be shown first.
It can also add a little more energy to a duel.
…
It was still early in Jiangcheng on this day, but it was already boiling with excitement!
…
The bus left the city and reached the suburbs.
After driving for a while, a large park came into view ahead.
Seeing this park, someone in the car exclaimed in surprise: "I heard before that Jiangcheng Association was established in the suburbs. I didn't expect it to be true, and it was a park like this."
"What all the fuss is about, the Jiangcheng Association's construction site is not in the suburbs. Is it possible that it can be built in the center of the city? How many eyeballs will it attract all day long, especially those who come in and out?"
"That's not what I meant."
The man quickly said: "I thought that the association would be hidden in some special secret realm, or it might be the kind of magic field that was used for training before. I didn't expect that it would be built in the outside world."
"It's not surprising. There are so many people in the association. If they are all concentrated in a secret place, it will be inconvenient to move around. It's not a clerical job, so I can't hold it in."
As everyone chatted, the bus quickly drove into the park.
This car should be certified by the association. When entering, there will be no unnecessary procedures and the journey will be smooth.
Through the front glass of the car, Lin You noticed that there was a tall building in the center of the park.
The building was quite extraordinary, and from a distance, he felt a strong wave of magic power.
"Coolie~"
Chestnut balls flew out, and it also sensed it, and what it sensed was more specific.
That magic wave is not offensive, but is more solidified and used to generate barriers.
Lin You actually guessed this, and it was verified by Li Ziqiu.
At this moment, the bus was not heading towards the building, but was staying on the right side.
On the other side, there are very few shadows of buildings, almost a vast grassland.
Yes, prairie!
I don’t know exactly how vast this park is.
When some students saw this, they also exclaimed, "Come on, this place is really big. Where are we going?"
"It's probably a suitable location for gathering. In this competition, there are at least thousands of contestants, right?"
"It's a joke, you haven't paid attention to the news of previous competitions? In the past, the number of participants has been upwards of five thousand. This year's situation is special. The quotas in major cities have been reduced to a certain extent, but no matter what, three thousand
There is a base."
"Three thousand?!"
The uninformed person looked extremely surprised.
But someone soon sneered: "It's just a fake show. We in Jiangcheng still have a lot of talents who are limited by quotas and cannot participate. If we take it seriously, at least half of the three thousand people are not qualified to participate. In the end, we are really competitive."
Yes, probably only two to three hundred people."
"That's it... listening to what you said, I feel more confident now. I originally thought that our strength is no better than those of the five major universities, let alone the top leaders like Lin You and Du Zhizhong.
I’m worried that when the time comes for the competition, someone will take my order. Now look, it’s a big dish for us, haha!”
These people were chatting, while Lin You and others looked ahead.
A green horizon spread out in front of us. The bus drove for a long time, and suddenly, the scenery ahead changed.
Lin You's eyes moved slightly and he noticed that a lake appeared about a few hundred meters ahead.
The lake is not big, less than a thousand meters long.
But from far away, you can feel the clarity of the lake, and under the sunlight, it reveals a wonderful mirror texture.
At this moment, some people can still be seen beside the lake.
It can be seen from their uniform white uniforms that these are members of the association.
Soon, the car drove past and stopped.
Xia Yan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was the first to get up and turned around and said, "You guys should stay in the car for now. Don't get out of the car without authorization. Just wait."
After saying that, he and Master Zhang got out of the car.
It seems that this is the destination.
Now, we probably have to wait for the others to arrive. They are the first ones to arrive.
While waiting, a person suddenly came over and said hello, "Lin You, how are you? After the training camp, is the progress going smoothly?"
Lin You looked at Song Ming, who was approaching, and said with a leisurely smile: "It's not bad, you shouldn't be too bad, right?"
He still remembered that Song Ming was the one who finished second in the training camp.
He also received high rewards, and like Lin You, he also received customized cards from the association.
With such abundant resources in hand, it is foreseeable that after Song Ming digested them, his strength would leap forward again.
"There is progress, but the competitiveness is still far behind if we want to compete with the truly top batch of newcomers."
Song Ming was more modest, but his words were not necessarily modest.
After the battle with Sun Yuwei, Lin You more or less gained some perspective.
Strictly speaking, Sun Yuwei may be the so-called "top" threshold for this year's competition.
It is really not an easy task to cross this threshold.
In the entire Jiangcheng, aside from himself, Du Zhizhong may be the only one who has the ability to defeat the opponent.
Of course, some people may have made extraordinary progress, and Lin You cannot predict the variables that will arise.
Lin You smiled and said: "Which one is better or worse will only be known after a battle. Some people may not have reached the heights they imagined. The standard answer still needs to be learned from practice."
"That's the truth."
Song Ming also laughed. At this time, someone suddenly said: "Look, someone is here again."
Everyone immediately looked back.
Sure enough, I saw another bus.
No, there's more than one.
There were several cars following behind.
Contestants from all major cities were picked up one after another.
Soon, those buses approached.
There were people getting out of the cars parked around.
Not the contestants, but their leading teachers.
These people also immediately started talking to people from the association.
Waited for a while.
Gradually, the surrounding area was filled with cars.
But buses are actually a minority, and more are passenger vans.
There were only a few people sitting in these vans.
The leaders in these cities also quickly completed on-site registration with the association staff after getting off the bus.
Although there are many people, the efficiency of the association is not bad at all.
After quickly completing the necessary work, a middle-aged man wearing an association uniform stepped forward, mixed with magic, and said loudly: "Young contestants, I sincerely welcome you to represent your respective cities and come to the Jiangcheng Association to participate in this event.
The National Freshman Exchange Competition, I won’t introduce too much here, let’s go to the special venue for this competition.”
After saying that, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared on his hand.
Under the bright golden light, before everyone could react, the lake in front of them suddenly started to fluctuate violently.
The water surface rises and falls continuously, and in the midst of these rises and falls, an astonishing scene appears.
The lake water, with the center of the lake as the limit, surges in vain towards both sides.
It was as if a mighty force acted and pushed the lake water away.
The vacant part is not the bottom of the lake after losing the water, but a deep darkness.
If you look at it a few more times, it feels like you are about to fall into boundless darkness.
The water in the lake was surging more and more crazily.
In the end, there were actually two walls of water rising into the sky on both sides!
In the middle, there is a large area of darkness.
"Coolie~"
Through the darkness, Li Ziqiu quickly sensed that a force was about to burst out.
Verification will come soon.
Suddenly, Lin You felt that he seemed to be floating up.
To be precise, the vehicle is floating!
This is also true, and you can easily spot this through the front glass of the car.
The bus floated to the surface instantly, and then flew to the dark lake as if it was being pulled.
The same goes for other vehicles.
A spectacular scene appeared.
In mid-air, a large number of vans mixed with some buses were suspended in the air.
Immediately afterwards, it quickly merged into the lake.
Vehicles disappeared in droves, and in the blink of an eye, they were all gone.
After the contestants were sent in, the middle-aged man waved, and the towering water walls on both sides suddenly spewed out a ball of water.
The two water balloons flew towards the middle at the same time and soon collided with each other.
Gulu, Gulu!
The sound of surging bubbles came, and the two water balls suddenly merged into a huge water ball.
The water balloon complied with the middle-aged man's will, flew towards this side, and quickly swallowed up the remaining people.
The leaders were no longer surprised, and some of the familiar ones started chatting calmly.
This huge water balloon carried them and flew into the darkness.
…
After taking a ride on the 'Flying Bus', the vision in front of me was dark for a few seconds. When the light came again, the feeling of suspension still did not disappear.
Looking through the front glass of the car, as expected, it was still in the sky, even higher, side by side with the clouds.
At this moment, the bus was landing quickly and smoothly.
Not only their cars, there were still speeding cars all around.
Lin You admired it quietly, the scenery was quite nice.
Looking at the clouds, my mood seems to be relaxed and much softer.
It's a pity that we don't get to see the beautiful scenery often.
Soon, the height above the ground was less than twenty meters.
Looking down from the car window on the side, a vast expanse of sand came into view.
Seeing this scene, some people were surprised and said: "Is it possible that we are going to duel here? This place seems not very convenient to establish a duel protection mechanism, right? Is it possible that we are going to have a real duel this time? A duel in the wild!"
"Not too possible."
A contestant from one of the top ten universities shook his head, "There are too many restrictions on dueling in the wild. When it comes to dueling, you need to know your own balance. Otherwise, if you accidentally kill someone, who will be responsible? The association may let us do this."
Are you ruthless? If you are not ruthless, crushing the game is okay, but in some evenly matched battles, you need to look forward and backward too much."
"Who knows."
Suddenly, someone snorted coldly, "Maybe you really want to play this hard?"
After hearing this, everyone was slightly startled and couldn't help but look at the person sitting in the back row who made the noise.
Zou Xiang!
Zou Xiang, who had been depressed for a long time, saw many people looking at him and sneered again: "What are you looking at? Do you think I'm talking nonsense? Do you think this can't happen?"
"What a joke! Maybe the association plans to cultivate a group of bad wolves this year? Otherwise, why would it notify all parts of the country to organize training camps this year? Normally, such an important decision would be made so abruptly?"
Some people couldn't help but say: "Don't be alarmist. This decision is a good thing and will be of great benefit to newcomers like us. Besides, it's not just us. The old students who will follow also have their own training camps. There is no bias, so it is not surprising that the decision will be made in any year. It's just
We were lucky enough to hit it just in time this year.”
Zou Xiang said lightly: "What you said is possible, but who can guarantee that what I said will not happen?"
"..."
The man was speechless by these words, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "No matter how you think about it, it is impossible. It will kill people, or even more than one or two people. Do you expect the contestants to control themselves? When the battle is fierce, sometimes there is no time.
Considering these, what’s more, it’s possible to use the competition to deliberately trap and kill some enemies. Although this probability is very low, in short, once there are no restrictions, there will definitely be chaos!”
"Is it impossible?"
At this time, someone else snorted, and Deng Zhuo said with an indifferent expression: "I think judging from some things that have happened in recent years, the association has signs of such measures. Maybe this year is just a buffer, but in the next three to five years
Years later, things will be difficult to say.”
"What's going on lately? Aren't we always in peace?"
Deng Zhuo sneered, shaking his head as if because of the other party's ignorance.
The man was about to question, but Song Ming, who pondered for a moment, said, "In recent years, there has been no peace. In Jiangcheng alone, you must not have forgotten the Dark Duelist raid more than half a year ago, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized that it was because of this!
Since the school did not take confidentiality measures in that incident, the final impact was actually very large.
Not only Jiangcheng locals, but basically people all over the country have heard of it.
However, the subsequent crackdown measures taken by Jiangcheng Association were handled properly and saved Jiangcheng's face in time.
The outside world also expressed their approval for this. Being able to wipe out such a hidden dark force with lightning speed fully demonstrated Jiang Cheng's powerful strength and determination to never tolerate the arrogance and domineering power of any dark force.
manner.
But now, the mention of old events from the Song and Ming Dynasties has made some people feel vaguely uneasy.
On the surface, that incident ended with Jiangcheng eradicating the roots and achieving a complete victory, but the actual situation was not something that the general public could easily know.
Is it possible that what Deng Zhuo and Zou Xiang said was because of this hidden unstable factor?
Just as he was thinking about it, Song Ming said again: "Not only this, haven't you felt that in recent years, news about secret realm fluctuations have become more frequent? Even last year, there was such a secret realm fluctuation in Jiangcheng, and it appeared at that time
The rare Black Star Secret Realm monster was discovered, and it became a big news that shocked the world."
"That seems to be the case..."
"Why do I feel so scared when I hear you say this?"
The person who initially questioned also looked slightly dull. After a while, he said with some difficulty: "That's not true. The increase in these data may be related to the increase in the number of secret realms developed by the association over the years. It may have caused some backlash, but it will not be like
What you said is so serious."
"Actually, it's just a conjecture."
Song Ming explained: "Only the association knows what the actual situation is. No matter how much we analyze, it is only possible. But what I want to say is that there is no need to eliminate some bad possibilities. No matter how low the probability is, it still exists."
"Okay, you're right."
That person also gave up. Even he himself was a little shaken when he talked about it now, and he couldn't help but have some more thoughts in his heart.
The atmosphere inside the car also became somewhat solemn.
But there are also many people who look calm and don't even care much at all.
Lin You is one of them.
He is too lazy to think and analyze these so-called crises now.
Let’s not talk about whether it is far away or not. Even if it is close at hand, what can he do now?
Are you frightened and nervous all day long?
That is causing yourself discomfort.
What he is thinking about right now is just the matter in front of him, winning the championship in this competition.
Seek more benefits for yourself and continuously strengthen yourself.
Strictly speaking, this is the best solution to possible crises.
boom!
A sound came, and then a series of sounds erupted all around.
Many flying cars suddenly landed!
The moment it landed, Lin You and others felt that the bus, which had been in a stable state in the air, was now fluctuating violently.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of distorted and blurry white light in the field of vision.
After the white light disappeared, everyone actually stepped onto the sand, and the bus... just disappeared out of thin air!
Looking around again, all the vehicles have disappeared.
Thousands of people gathered on the endless sandy beach.
If nothing else, they are all contestants like Lin You and others.
The imagined opening ceremony of the competition did not come. As soon as it started, everyone was suddenly placed on this empty sand.
Only the desolate and cold wind can keep me company.
After a brief silence, a heated discussion broke out in the huge sandy area.
"What does this mean? Is it possible that the venue for the competition is this venue? Also, does it mean that we can start the competition immediately without any pre-game announcement or anything like that?"
"Why do I have a bad feeling that there's not going to be a big brawl? That would be unlucky. I might be able to win a few duels, but I feel like I'll die miserably in a brawl."
"No, wouldn't fighting easily lead to cliques? Who can do it than people from the Demon City or the Imperial City?"
"You are all thinking about the game mode. Am I the only one who cares about where this place is? We came in from that lake. How magical!"
"It's rare but strange. The association's methods are all-powerful. Not to mention sending us in from the lake, even flushing the toilet can be done. It's just a carrier of power."
"Fuck you, can you stop being so disgusting?"
"Is it disgusting? I didn't say the cesspit is good."
"vomit--!!"
Discussions continued one after another. Lin You in the crowd looked around and chuckled: "I don't know which city these people are contestants from, and there is no symbolic label or anything like that."
On the side, Xia Mu smiled and said: "No matter what, it is probably not difficult to guess that those people will be left to the end. Judging from the situation in previous years, the newcomers in the two cities of Imperial Capital and Magic City can at least take the top five positions.
, generally speaking, it even needs to be expanded to the top eight, and even more extreme, the top ten are all their people, this situation has happened more than once or twice."
"Then this year we will break this outrageous situation."
Deng Yuxin suddenly rushed over, and Chengzhu said in her chest: "Ignoring other cities, we in Jiangcheng must occupy at least three of the top ten seats this year!"
"Ahem..."
As soon as these words came out, many Jiangcheng contestants were ashamed.
Girl, are you serious?
Do you know what this means?
Even in the top ten, Jiang Cheng has not produced even one top ten player in these years, let alone three. You really dare to speak!
Where does the confidence come from?
Just because you are third in the training camp?
Well, this third place is quite valuable.
But the key point is... you have trained, others have also trained, and the training you have received will most likely be of higher quality.
Not surprisingly, this year's duo of emperors and demons will be even better than in previous years, and the possibility of taking the top ten spots has greatly increased!
Although Jiang Cheng is indeed not weak this year, if you really want to say that the only person who has a chance to compete in the top ten, besides Lin You, is Du Zhi?
Especially Lin You... Not to mention, with his incredible training results, he might really be able to break into the top ten this year.
That’s awesome!
I am quite convinced of Lin You and these contestants.
The stronger he gets, the more he can appreciate Lin You's extraordinary talent.
Xia Mu didn't make fun of her, she just chuckled and said, "I hope so. Maybe we can really see some different scenes this year."
"It's not maybe, it's definitely!"
Deng Yuxin is still confident.
Everyone was unable to complain, but at this time, Xiao Yi said calmly: "Isn't the confidence of some people less powerful than that of a girl before being beaten?"
Anyone who is familiar with this knows that he is making a mockery of Xia Mu.
But at this moment, many people felt that they had been "shot" and seemed a little embarrassed.
It’s not that we are not confident, it’s that no matter how confident we are, it must be based on reality. What’s the point of telling lies with open eyes?
As for Deng Yuxin, she didn't think Xiao Yi was speaking for her. Instead, she looked at him angrily, "What's wrong with girls? Girls have the most confidence!"
"..."
Xiao Yi choked on his words.
Seeing him like this, Lin You couldn't help but laugh.
I didn't expect that these two idiots would end up like this today, being left speechless by the girl.
Inexplicably funny.
Even Xia Mu couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this scene.
Noticing this, Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, but soon, he suppressed them forcefully and regained his serious expression.
He didn't say anything, pretending that nothing happened.
As they were talking here, suddenly, there was a commotion at the scene.
"Damn it, brothers, look in the air!"
"What is that... such a big water balloon!"
"Huh? Why did I see our leader in the water polo?"
"It's true... ours is here too, as well as the driver!"
"They are all here, and so are the people from the associations outside."
After discovering this, someone laughed and said: "It seems that we are finally getting down to business. Let me just say, for such a big event, how could the association just abandon us in this barren sand?"
But soon, someone asked with a subtle expression: "Why do I feel that the water polo doesn't seem to be approaching us, but seems to be far away?"
As soon as these words came out, many people's expressions were slightly dull. After observing for a while, they even looked confused.
Really gone!
Yes, that huge water ball flew away quickly from above their heads in front of thousands of people without stopping at all.
Obviously, it is unreliable to expect those people to explain the current situation.
After a while, the water polo completely disappeared.
On the sand, most of the thousands of contestants looked confused.
Of course, many people are thinking about the reason.
The association seems to have a purpose in doing this.
Regarding the Jiangcheng contestants, Song Ming was a little unsure and said: "Perhaps, the competition has started from now on, and the content of the assessment..."
After hesitating for a while, he still said: "Are you asking us to chase the traces of that water polo? If so, if we act earlier, we will have a considerable advantage."
"Chasing water balloons?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Are you sure you are not talking nonsense?
But why do you think it makes some sense?
Even Lin You felt that this was indeed possible, but he was not in a hurry to act.
Otherwise, there is no need to rush because of this possibility.
Even if Song Ming guessed it right and came from behind, it would not be difficult.
There are not just one or two people who hold this idea.
Song Ming, who made the conjecture, thought the same way and did not act in a hurry.
The speculation just now was just a matter of analysis when I had nothing to do.
On the sand, many people had their own thoughts and were analyzing the current situation.
But no matter how they speculated, in the end, no one took action.
However, some people tried to summon flying monsters.
The purpose is simple, climb high and look far!
But after these people observed it for a while, they found no results.
Thousands of people were stagnant on the sand. After a while, suddenly, there was an explosion of air in the air.
The next moment, a young man with his eyes tightly closed appeared high in the sky out of thin air.
His appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Someone saw the pitch black uniform he was wearing, and there was a faint red emblem tattooed on the uniform.
"Who is this? Is he also a member of the association? Why is this uniform black..."
"Is this the point? Haven't you seen his current situation? He's walking on air! He doesn't rely on the power of monsters, but pure magic power. Magic power floats in the air. This is so powerful!"
"Except for the color, this uniform seems to be similar to the association's white uniform. Could it be an advanced version? Some people with higher status in the association wear this kind of uniform?"
"It's possible, but whatever, look at this situation, at least we don't have to stand here stupidly anymore."
As the contestants said this, high in the air, the young man suddenly opened his eyes.
In an instant, a few wisps of dark red flowed out.
A pair of dark red eyes looked down at the contestants. After a moment, he said calmly: "To make a long story short, I am the examiner for the first round of your competition. I am responsible for screening out the students who can advance to the subsequent rounds."
, all losers, this year’s personal competition journey... ends here.”
The voice was very cold, but this sound still reached everyone's ears clearly.
Everyone was surprised when they heard this.
The game really started hastily like this, without any foreplay or anything?
But there are also people who prefer this model.
Don't listen to that nonsense and get straight to the point.
But there are still some people who wonder with some fun, is there really no foreplay, or do most people have no chance to appreciate it at all?
At this moment, among the people in Jiangcheng, Lin You also chuckled and said: "Looking at this, I think there are too many people. I plan to go through several rounds of screening and eliminate a large number first? That's ruthless enough."
"It's just a way to save trouble."
Deng Zhuo said calmly, and Xiao Yi also said calmly: "Otherwise, I would have to play house with some incompetent children. It is right to shut them up in advance."
"You are quite ruthless."
Lin You smiled, "This is the only time in our lives for the national freshman exchange competition. No matter how bad it is, if we give it more plot, it won't hurt much, right?"
Xia Mu smiled and said: "As a human being, you should be more tolerant, but it seems that this association does not intend to be tolerant."
Not far away, Deng Yuxin muttered: "The first round of assessment does not seem to be a direct duel. Do you think it is possible to use some alternative assessment methods?"
"What?"
Some people looked at her curiously.
Deng Yuxin thought for a while and said: "For example... a cute pet contest!"
"puff……"
Everyone almost choked, but Lin You laughed, thinking that this girl would say this.
If she is allowed to formulate the content of the competition, she will ensure that it is done like this.
Maybe a pure cute pet competition is unreliable, but if some competitive elements and an elimination mechanism are added, and if you think about it more and integrate it, it might not be impossible.
At this moment, they are not the only ones who are speculating on the content of the assessment. The contestants from various cities have some ideas about this.
And soon, high in the sky, the young man said calmly: "Be quiet."
It was still a very plain sentence, without even the slightest emphasis.
But the moment this sound reached everyone's ears, almost all the contestants present were shocked!
It was as if his heart had been hit hard by something.
Lin You raised his eyebrows slightly. The voice just now seemed to have touched his spiritual sea.
It swayed for a while, but was quickly swallowed.
The force of the touch was obviously not very strong, but with just an understatement, it caused such an impact from a high altitude... It was really scary!
Cruel man, this one!
Lin You was also moved in his heart, but he was not too surprised.
After all, this person is the examiner of the National Freshman Exchange Competition, and he is obviously from the Federation!
It's not surprising how strong the people sent from the Duelist Association headquarters are.
The entire sandy land suddenly became quiet, except for the cold wind that was still blowing.
Soon, the young man's voice came again, "Now, I will announce what you are going to do in this round of assessment. It is very simple. After hearing my command, you start taking action. You are allowed to rush through this area in any way.
Sand, but only for individuals. Any card assistance directed at others will be regarded as a foul. Each foul will be accumulated until the end of the competition. If the number of fouls reaches three in total, it will be considered eliminated."
"At the end of this sandy land, there will be the next round of examiners waiting for you."
The moment the words fell, everyone understood.
The content of the assessment is quite straightforward, requiring them to cross the sand with their own strength.
This thing may sound easy, but no one will take it lightly.
Who knows what monsters will appear in front of this sandy land.
Although it doesn't look like there is any crisis for the time being, isn't this the starting point?
The assessment of the national competition will obviously not be easy!
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but whisper.
On Lin You's side, someone couldn't help but analyze: "I think the sandy land in front may not have any problems on the surface, but in the dark, there may be big trouble!"
"You mean...underground?"
Someone understood instantly, and the person nodded, "Yes, the crisis will definitely not be obvious. If so, it will be easy to pass the assessment. Think about it, there are so many of us, even if the examiner does not allow us to help each other, we can
What is restricted is only assistance from other than monsters!"
"But in fact, when we really get going, the monsters will help cover one or two, or even cover, everyone's monsters will crush them together. Invisibly, isn't it a kind of alliance?"
"It makes sense, so the crisis must have originated from the dark, and it caught someone off guard!"
Dark place?
Listening to their analysis, Lin You felt that it made sense, but he was not worried.
Depending on the little guy's perception, the offensive in the dark may not be concealed.
This place, unlike the underworld, has its own sensory shielding!
Here, Li Ziqiu's perception ability can be used normally.
Of course, this is an assessment arranged by the association. Perhaps the concealment itself is extremely powerful...so powerful that even Li Ziqiu can be deceived easily.
But the problem is not big. If the soldiers come to block it, the water will come and the soil will cover it. Just do it and it will be done!
Just as he was thinking about this, Lin You suddenly felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, everyone who was discussing in low voices also discovered something, stopped discussing, and looked up into the sky.
There, a rich red glow was shining.
Along with this, a terrifying aura began to rise!
Just by feeling this breath, everyone felt a little depressed and speechless, and their thoughts stopped suddenly!
"Roar!"
A low and extremely intimidating dragon roar resounded high in the sky in an instant.
High in the sky, the red light faded, and a huge figure was revealed!
That's a dragon!
A black dragon with a completely black body and distinct bones!
The most eye-catching thing about this black dragon is its pair of dark red eyes that are full of coldness, dominance, and devouring feeling!
It seems that if you are stared at by it, you will encounter disaster!
This cold black dragon, waving its huge pair of jet-black wings, dominates the sky!
The moment they saw this black dragon, all the previous contestants were shocked!
This, this, this... what the hell is——
The legendary monster, one of the most powerful Red Star monsters——
Real red-eyed black dragon!
…
After the shock, everyone began to think about another serious problem.
Examiner, you have to do the assessment. Why did you release this legendary monster at this time?
Obviously, this move is not meaningless, let alone just to show off your awesomeness.
Wouldn't that be...
At this moment, everyone thought of one thing in unison.
