Seven days passed quickly, and Li Yan had been practicing during this period. It was not until the day when the Duel King Competition officially started that he was knocked on the door of his training room by an extremely excited Yan Xue.
This time Li Yan activated the blue bird mask given to him by the second ancestor of the Yan family.
Then they started off together with Yan Churou and the other three, heading towards the huge and simple duel field in the center of the First Holy City.
When Li Yan and the others entered, Li Yan discovered that this duel field had a heavy feeling.
It is as if countless historical deposits have gone through, as if one can still feel the fighting spirit of the previous generations of duelists on the duel field.
As Li Yan and other players entered the venue, heated discussions suddenly erupted from the auditorium outside the venue.
In addition to the audience in the First Holy City, there are also corresponding auditoriums specially prepared for the card masters from the sacred city and the ordinary card masters from the giant city.
Although the 20th Divine City has no contestants, it does have an audience of hundreds of people.
In the audience, Mu Miaoke searched nervously for Li Yan.
Before this duel started, she had gone to Holy Spirit City several times, wanting to go with Li Yan to the First Holy City.
However, she failed to find Li Yan several times.
Finally, through Li Yan's father, she learned that Li Yan had already embarked on a spiritual journey alone a year ago.
So she had to come to the First Holy City to wait for Li Yan.
However, at this time, the opening ceremony of the Duel King Competition was about to begin, and she did not see Li Yan appear.
Mu Miaoke had been watching the entrance of the duel field nervously, looking forward to Li Yan's arrival as soon as possible.
Until the duel king competition started and the entrance was closed, Li Yan never showed up.
The man who gets stronger as he fights.
Are you giving up on this duel king competition?
Mu Miaoke stared closely at the entrance to the duel arena, her eyes worrying about gain and loss.
There were 199 people in the contestant seats at the arena at this time.
At the same time, in the sky above the central duel arena, ten old men with gray hair and immortal demeanor stepped up from the void and came to the crowd.
Among them, the old man standing at the top immediately announced with a calm and melodious voice:
"Everyone, I believe you are all familiar with the origin of the Duel King Competition."
"This Duel King Competition will be held as scheduled today."
"A total of 280 tickets for the finals will be distributed this time."
"199 people showed up."
Having said this, the old man looked down at the figures below the field, and then continued:
"Among you, the top 30 people with the most votes can directly choose rewards and advance to the next round."
"The other 50 contestants from major holy places will directly skip the first round and advance to the second round."
The old man's voice was calm and steady as he stated the rules of the duel.
The top 30 duelists with the most votes can directly skip the first round and go to the final reward venue to select rewards.
Following the old man's voice, a huge projection panel appeared above the duel arena, displaying the top 30 people with the most registration votes.
Li Yan looked at it at the same time and found that among the top 30, the one with the lowest number of votes was only 4.
That is to say, if you have 4 Valhalla, you can directly advance to the second round with 4 votes.
But someone like himself, who won one vote, became the main contestant in the first round.
After the old man explained the rules, the 80 people in the player seats slowly left the field. Among them, Li Yan happened to find the white-haired young man from the Holy Land of Swords.
Even the young man who wielded two swords and wanted to take revenge on Yan Churou was among them.
The First Holy City has ten holy lands, among which the Holy Land of Swords is a holy land where equipment cards are the main way of development.
Next to Li Yan, Yan Churou seemed to have known the rules for a long time and only left 1 ticket.
The remaining tickets were divided among the genius card masters from other families in the Eighth Divine City.
So in the Yan family's camp, it's still Li Yan and the four of them.
Li Yan looked at the people leaving the scene.
Logically speaking, he could actually pass the first round directly and enter the prize stage.
After all, Li Yan alone obtained all five Valhalla cards in the 20th Divine City.
However, Li Yan couldn't show it.
Now that he's showing off his Valhalla cards, isn't he telling everyone that he is actually Li Yan?
I have no choice but to pass the first round as soon as possible and go to the prize venue to pick up the missed ones.
While Li Yan was thinking secretly, the old man in the sky lowered his head and looked at the people in the sky, and then said again:
"Everyone, you are the contestants in the first round of the Duel King Competition."
The old man looked at the crowd below, a total of 119 young card masters.
The number of strong people among them far exceeds that of the previous Duel King Competition.
It seems that this Duel King Competition will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers.
While thinking about it, the old man spoke again and said slowly:
"The first duel of the Duel King Competition is equivalent to a qualifying match."
"Because 80 duelists have already qualified."
"So there are only 20 places left."
"That is to say, the top 20 in the first qualifier will advance."
"The rest are eliminated."
The old man's voice was not loud, but it shocked many card masters below.
Originally, in their opinion, they were the best in the city and could survive two rounds no matter what.
However, this old man actually said that 119 people participated in the first round, and only 20 people were left to qualify.
This means that nearly a hundred duelists will be eliminated in the first round of preliminaries alone.
Immediately, a card master who came from the giant city of ordinary card masters and entered the Duel King Competition with a Valhalla was dissatisfied:
"Senior! I have no problem with the person with more votes passing the first round."
"Why did the 50 people from the Holy Land just pass the first round!?"
"I'm not convinced!!"
This card master comes from the 41st card master giant city, and his understanding of the holy city only stops at the center of the world.
At this time, he heard the old man announce that the 40 people in the Holy City had also passed the first round, which made him extremely puzzled.
Ten holy places, a total of 50 people went to battle.
These people didn't even do anything and went straight to the second round.
This is simply a naked privilege.
Hearing his voice, other card masters who had come up step by step from the bottom of the card master city also spoke out and said angrily that they disagreed. This is differential treatment.
The old man in the sky seemed a little surprised by this scene, and then he looked at the card masters who had left the players' seats and arrived at the 50 card masters' shrine outside the venue.
The old man glanced at these people, then looked at an ordinary-looking young man and said:
"Show them your star rating."
This young man was wearing a white robe with a six-pointed star. He immediately raised his hands and respectfully replied to the old man in the sky:
"yes!"
Then the young man took a step forward, and a violent aura suddenly erupted around him, and three bright purple star jade surrounded him.
"hiss--!"
Seeing the three purple star jade around him, a series of gasps of cold air came to mind in the audience.
This seemingly ordinary man is actually a 3-star horoscope card master.
At the same time, the old man above the sky spoke again, saying:
"After my observation, this person should be the most ordinary strong man among the major holy places."
"Are you sure you want them to join the first trial?"
The old man's voice was not loud, but it caused more than a hundred people below to fall silent.
