Modu Hotel, multi-functional conference room on the first floor.
At this moment, the conference room is packed with probably no less than a thousand people.
Shen Qian followed Cheng Qingqing and just walked in. He couldn't help but be speechless when he saw this scene.
Jiang Zhongjun and Wu Xinli currently have less than 3,000 students in the three grades combined, which means that nearly half of the students are gathered in the conference room at this moment.
Cheng Qingqing walked to the podium, Shen Qian looked around, and then walked to the second row amidst the greetings of many people, and sat down next to Ouyang Fei, Yang Lingjie and the already familiar Shangguan Ting.
"I almost thought you wouldn't participate in the Nine-Day War."
Ouyang Fei smiled at Chen Qian.
"This once-in-a-century event just happened to happen to our generation, how could we miss it?" Shen Qian shook his head and smiled, and then asked curiously, "Are all the people in this conference room who want to participate?"
"As you said, who would want to miss such a grand event, especially since the main event is open to everyone, so naturally everyone who can register has signed up."
Yang Lingjie shrugged, "The people sitting in this conference room have gone through a screening process. This time, almost all the students in the school came to the Magic City."
"Even if you can't participate, watching on the spot is still a good choice."
Shangguan Ting, who had graceful features, smiled slightly before Chen Shen and said, "It's hard to get a ticket for the main stadium. It is said that scalpers have sold infield tickets to a sky-high price of 100,000, but the price is still rising."
"Well... I can't rule out the possibility of close contact with the prince."
Shen Qian nodded.
For a grand event of this scale, apart from invited top players like Shi Dingyan, it is certain that princes will participate in hosting it.
Although Shen Qian has come into contact with many princes, in the eyes of most people and even warriors, princes are regarded as aloof gods, which are rare even on TV.
"Shen Qian, are you really just a substitute in the 'Jiutian Cup'?"
At this time, Yang Lingjie took advantage of the two of them not paying attention, pulled his sleeve and asked softly, "Is there something hidden in it?"
Regarding the 'Jiutian Cup' for freshmen, Jiangzhong Junwu's roster has been announced on the campus website, but Shen Qian's name is not in the official list.
Of the ten-man roster, Shen Qian only had one substitute spot.
For the school's senior officials and the team members participating in the war, they all know some inside information.
But ordinary military and military students may not think so, and they all think there is some misunderstanding.
Some people even put forward a bold idea, that is, Shen Qian was actually punished during the school leaving incident, but it was not announced to the public due to the impact.
Depriving Shen Qian of the qualification to become an official member of the "Jiutian Cup" is one of the punishments.
This seemingly absurd idea has become the reason most people believe it.
Among the freshmen, only Geng Qianqiu and others really understood the inside story, but after their explanations went nowhere, they were too lazy to continue to clear Shen Qian's name.
No one would believe me if I couldn't tell you... Shen Qian looked down on the "Nine Heavens Cup" at all.
Shen Qian listened to Yang Lingjie's words for a while and was dumbfounded. He never expected that the rumors could be exaggerated to such an extent.
Just as he was about to speak, Ning Zhiyuan's serious voice came from the podium, "Everyone be quiet."
Everyone immediately shut up and focused their attention on the podium.
"Two days later will be the official day of 'Talking Nine Days'. Although some competition formats have not been fully announced yet, what we know so far is enough for us to make some preparations. That's why I asked Vice Principal Tantai for instructions and chose to hold the competition in Calling everyone tonight."
Ning Zhiyuan glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice.
Tantaiqin is here too?
Shen Qian was startled when he heard this, and then he thought about it. It was normal. For such a large-scale event, it is not an exaggeration for the principal to lead the team. It seems that the principal of Beiwu is personally attending, but the principal of Jiangzhong Junwu is the only one among all martial arts universities in the country. Princes, you still need to have basic arrangements.
As for Tantai Qin, a top-level Shanhai, although he is only the vice-principal, his status is no worse than that of the principals of the four major schools.
It makes sense for her to lead the team, but...
Shen Qian scanned the whole place but couldn't find the other party. He didn't know why the other party didn't show up at the collective meeting that was obviously meant to boost morale.
"...The competition format of the first unit of the 'Jiutian Cup' is the same as in previous years. It adopts a BO5 team elimination tournament. A total of 679 martial arts colleges and universities across the country, excluding liberal arts colleges, will draw lots to win the first place. The top ten will be determined in a knockout round of six rounds over two days."
Ning Zhiyuan introduced, "On the last day, the top ten will compete again and again until the final champion is chosen..."
"About the 'Nine Heavens Cup'..."
Before Ning Zhiyuan could finish speaking, Cheng Qingqing suddenly took over, her smiling eyes full of solemnity, "It’s okay not to mention the so-called top ten. Throughout all the years in history, no one will remember the top ten. Who is stronger, but everyone will definitely remember the champion!"
Ning Zhiyuan was interrupted by Cheng Qingqing, but he could only look at him helplessly and then shook his head slightly.
He actually disapproved of putting too much pressure on these children, but it was obvious that Cheng Qingqing had her own ideas.
But I have to say that the effect of Cheng Qingqing's words is quite good. Geng Qianqiu, Zhao Keyi and others sitting in the first row obviously straightened their backs a lot, and their original casual postures were completely restrained. They obviously felt the pressure. .
"We have just established our army in Jiangzhong. It is the time when we need to make a name for ourselves..."
Listening to Cheng Qingqing's endless pressure, and looking at Zhao Keyi and others with serious faces, Shen Qian was also a little amused.
If Shen Qian is allowed to evaluate it himself, even if he does not play, with Zhao Keyi and others, there is no big problem in winning the top ten.
Although they are abused by Shen Qian every day, it does not mean that they are not strong.
How can one of the eight provincial champions in martial arts be a vegetarian?
Of course, if the sword is aimed at the championship, then Shen Qian would not dare to vouch for it. After all, he does not know how many perverts there are among the freshmen of other martial arts schools.
But no matter what, the champion of the "Nine Heavens Cup" must be won!
This is the bottom line that Yu Shousi has set for Shen Qian before.
Shen Qian's substitute quota is just to save the game at critical moments.
But tonight, after re-examining Geng Qianqiu and others, especially after his eyes lingered on Zhao Keyi for a while, Shen Qian suddenly felt that the chance that he would need to take action was really slim...
"Then comes the second unit, which is the main event of this time, the 'Nine-Day Battle'!"
After Ning Zhiyuan waited for Cheng Qingqing to finish speaking, he continued, "Part of the competition system that has not yet been announced involves the 'Nine Heavens Battle'. This is an unprecedented event that has swept all young warriors, so it is normal to be mysterious, but under the principal After inquiring personally, we learned some inside information in advance..."
Hearing the words "inside information", the large conference room became silent, and everyone became focused.
Shen Qian is no exception.
Even though his combat power is now off the charts, he doesn't think he is really invincible. Even if he is really invincible, he still has to be careful about capsizing in the gutter.
"Nine Heavens and Nine Heavens, as the name suggests, this 'Nine Heavens War' is indeed divided into nine heavens."
Ning Zhiyuan said slowly, "Everyone will start from the first level of heaven, and reach the ninth level to reach the peak!"
"As for the specific competition system on how to break through the boundaries, the principal does not know the details, but one thing is certain. It is most likely to adopt a method similar to the superposition of points, and the means of obtaining points will most likely be... fighting!"< /p>
"Defeat everyone you meet and plunder their points. If you have enough points, you can advance to the next level until you reach the top!"
Ning Zhiyuan's voice slowed down, and there was a lot of discussion in the large conference room.
However, everyone is mostly expecting and excited, and they think the so-called method of gaining points through battles is quite normal.
We are all warriors. If we don’t judge by victory or defeat, is it possible that we still sit and enjoy tea?
"As Professor Cheng said just now, when Jiang Zhong's army was first established, it really needed an impressive record to prove to the outside world that Jiang Zhong's army was still the same Jiang Zhong's army. There is no doubt about this, but..."
Amidst the laughter, Ning Zhiyuan suddenly spoke again, but his voice suddenly became much lower.
"What I really want to tell you today is that courage and recklessness are two different things."
The discussion subsided, and many students raised their heads blankly, somewhat confused.
"Strange, isn't it?"
Ning Zhiyuan exhaled a breath and said calmly, "The reason why I want to say this is because this time, both the 'Nine Heavens Cup' and the 'Nine Heavens Controversy' will overturn the tradition of a hundred years, that is... … No more virtual battles!”
Many students, especially freshmen, are still confused and don't know the weight of this sentence, but senior students like Qu Bai, Niu Ziguo, and Feng Manlin, who have experienced the true tempering of blood and fire, all have expressions on their faces. Minor changes.
Shen Qian also stared blankly.
It turned out to be actual combat!
He was really surprised.
As early as more than a hundred years ago, after the technology of simulators matured, the casualty rate of human warriors was greatly reduced. Before Shen Qian came into contact with the system, there were very few opportunities for life and death in actual combat.
Ning Zhiyuan also said that the tradition has been like this for a hundred years.
As a college competition, Shen Qian originally thought that "Nine Heavens" would be conducted entirely in a simulator like the college entrance examination.
Because technically, it is definitely achievable.
But it's obvious that this time it's serious.
Shen Qian was a little confused at first. He was not afraid of actual combat, but since we were all talented warriors from China, it seemed wrong to get angry and cause unnecessary casualties.
But suddenly Shen Qian's heart moved and he thought of something...
The Nine Kings' Collection!
If there's anything that can't be moved into a simulator, it's this.
If you think about it more deeply, I'm afraid that the big guys don't have to force everyone to fight, but there must be a reason why they have to fight in practice.
"You are right. This time it is a complete and utter actual competition. There is no virtual simulation cabin to protect you. This means that you may be injured, you may experience unimaginable torture, or you may... ...Death!"
The whole place fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little stagnant.
This time, the ignorant freshmen finally thought of something and their pupils shrank.
Confrontations between warriors are always extremely dangerous.
The so-called "keep your hands" is just a "pseudo noun" written in irresponsible martial arts novels.
Excluding high-level warriors from crushing low-level warriors, in a duel that really requires a win or loss, how can one keep his hand, and who dares to keep his hand?
Even a second of hesitation will change the outcome, let alone even thinking about keeping it.
"Okay, Professor Ning, look at you scaring everyone."
Cheng Qingqing rolled her eyes at this time, walked out and said, "There is no need to worry unreasonably. Although it is a full-scale actual combat, there must be corresponding protection mechanisms so that everyone will not really have to fight to the death."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"However... no matter how perfect the protection mechanism is, there will always be hysteresis. The battlefield is ever-changing, and accidents may happen at any time, so you still need to be cautious and cautious, and never show off!"
Cheng Qingqing became serious again and finally warned.
"In addition, regarding the 'Nine Days of Controversy', I know you all want to sign up. We don't have to stop you, but you must be fully mentally prepared...
"That is indeed not an area that ordinary people can easily get involved in. You are all still young, and winning or losing at the moment is nothing. But if your mentality is completely broken, it will be difficult to get back!"
Shen Qian also realized at this time that this was actually what Ning Zhiyuan and Cheng Qingqing really wanted to express.
The Nine-Day Conflict only has age restrictions. Indeed, many freshmen are enthusiastic and want to give it a try. It is better to let them know some of the cruelty of reality in advance than to be hit in the end.
"Finally, what Professor Ning and I want to tell you is what kind of opponents you will face!"
With a wave of Cheng Qingqing's hand, the two large screens on the left and right of the conference room suddenly lit up, and 3D projections appeared in the air on both sides.
There were two long lists. Shen Qian glanced at them and saw many familiar names.
The big screen on the left mainly showed freshmen from major universities. Wang Shuo's name was ranked first, as well as Cao Qian, Luo Yi, Qu Xiangyun, etc. who Shen Qian had played against before.
As a military professor standing under the big screen clicked the remote control, Wang Shuo's name lit up, and an introduction video about Wang Shuo played in mid-air.
Shen Qian only glanced at it and then turned his attention to the big screen on the right, while Qu Bai and others were also paying attention here.
The name above is from a senior genius from all martial arts colleges, that is... Shen Qian's real opponent in the Nine-Day Battle this time!
Most of the names were unfamiliar to Shen Qian, but after just glancing at the simple notes behind their names, the blood in Shen Qian's body that had been dormant for a long time began to surge up.
"Lin Sanmo, a senior at Beiwu University, is 23 years old. His combat record a year ago was flat and his level is unknown."
"Bai Fei, a senior in Su Kewu, is 24 years old. Two years ago, he reached the peak of martial arts. He once swept the 'College Cup' and was reborn after being suspected of being a 'sect'."
"Ning Zhaoyi, a junior in Huawu, 21 years old, is the youngest daughter of Duke Tianning. She condensed her vitality at the age of four, and her realm is unknown."
"Sha Bi, a special recruit from the Magic City Martial Arts School, 22 years old, from an overseas family, a master hunter, and an unknown realm."
