Chapter 71: Two enemies meet on a narrow road (Part 2)
Lin Tianao nodded and said: "This is also the choice of most teams. Because only in this way can we try to preserve our strength to face other countries. And those seed teams are extremely strong. Even if we really have the ability to defeat them, I'm afraid
How can we beat other teams with all the hard work and seven injuries? Let alone advance to the semi-finals."
Zhou Weiqing nodded, but at this time, he also had some thoughts in his mind. Under some special circumstances, that kind of team may not have to wait until the quarterfinals to face them.
"If the competition system is like this, what about the way of the competition? Is it a one-on-one fight or a group fight?" Zhou Weiqing asked Lin Tianao while thinking about it.
Lin Tianao said: "The format of the preliminaries is four one-on-one games and one two-on-two. The format of the quarter-finals is a continuous elimination system, that is to say, each team sends five people to play one by one, and the winner continues.
The loser will be eliminated until all five players on one side are eliminated. As for whether the semi-finals will still continue this format, I don’t know.”
"In the four one-on-one games, repeated appearances are not allowed, but it is allowed in two-on-two games. Players who have played in one-on-one games before can also appear again..."
The format and rules of the Tianzhu Competition are simple and clear. Everyone understood it immediately after hearing what Lin Tianao said. This is one of the reasons why Lin Tianao agreed to continue to participate. In the preliminaries, there were actually four team members participating.
It is also enough. However, compared to the two-on-two battle, if both people have participated in one-on-one battles before, the load will be greater.
"In the preliminaries, it is best of five games, two one-on-one games, one two-on-two game, and then two one-on-one games. If possible, the best result is to win the first three games in a row to defeat the enemy. This way
Come on, the four of you don’t have to appear again."
Zhou Weiqing nodded and said: "I understand."
Lin Tianao said: "Weiqing, the registration location is outside the main entrance of the Zhongtian Empire Palace. You can register now. I gave you all the things yesterday. You can go directly to register and get your number plate. Then we will leave
Recuperate and practice here. The group drawing ceremony will only be held the day before the competition starts."
"Okay, you can rest assured. I'll go right away. Bing'er, you can come with me too."
"I'll go too." Crow hugged Shangguan Bing'er's shoulders with an excited look on her face. Although she was exceptionally strong, she was still young and still had the heart of a little girl. She came to a complete stranger with a few friends.
Places that are full of mystery are always very curious. Shangguan Bing'er was hugged by her, and the size of the two formed a sharp contrast.
Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said, "Then let's go together. Let's leave now."
Zhongtian City is really big. They entered the city at night yesterday, so it was not so obvious. Although it was still early in the morning, after walking out of the hotel, the bustling and noisy city suddenly hit us. There were almost no three-story buildings on the street.
Below, the buildings have simple styles and different carvings on the tops. They definitely don’t look new. The ancient and mysterious cultural atmosphere also gives people a completely different feeling. If it is Feili City and
Compared with here, the cultural heritage seems much thinner.
Walking on the street, the crow is definitely the most eye-catching presence. Even Shangguan Bing'er's unparalleled elegance is overshadowed by her limelight. Almost every passerby will stop looking at the crow when they see it.
Crow seems to have gotten used to these weird looks, and looks calm, without feeling any embarrassment. At most, he occasionally shouts: "What are you looking at? I haven't seen a big beauty before?"
Zhou Weiqing was not generally thick-skinned, and naturally he didn't care. He held Shangguan Bing'er's soft little hand and curiously looked at the surrounding shops from time to time. Many of the Zhongtian Empire's specialties were something he had never heard of. The one that attracted him the most was,
It was still one of those shops that specializes in selling snacks. The strange aroma aroused the greed in his belly from time to time. However, he still insisted on completing the registration before coming back to eat. He couldn't leave his injured brother in the hotel to eat alone. Wait until he comes back.
It is only right to bring some snacks back from time to time and share them with your brothers.
It was easy to find where the imperial palace was, so they found the location after just asking around. Although the inner city of Zhongtian City was still huge, it was finally not as scary as the outer city. Soon, they found the Zhongtian Empire located in the center of the inner city.
Royal Palace.
"As expected of the largest country! It's so majestic." Looking at the huge square in front of the palace, which was a thousand meters long and wide, Zhou Weiqing couldn't help but sigh. In the center of this huge square, stood a huge thirty-meter-high statue.
Statue. As soon as they arrived here, the eyes of Zhou Weiqing and the others were attracted by this statue.
The statue was a man with long hair shawl and a very strong body. There was a pair of huge wings spread out behind his back. What caught Zhou Weiqing's attention the most was that there were twelve bead-like carvings on each of his hands. Although
Because it is a stone sculpture, it has no color. But what do the twelve beads mean? It means the completion of the twelve transformations of the Dzi Beads, the highest cultivation level of the God-level powerhouse! Could it be said that in this Zhongtian Empire, there are actually
Isn’t it possible to become a twelve-jeweled god-level powerhouse?
The square in front of the palace is open to pedestrians. It can be seen that from time to time people come to worship in front of this huge statue. Judging from their pious appearance, there is no doubt that the owner of this statue must have the supreme status in the Zhongtian Empire.
After some inquiring, the three of them learned that the statue was engraved by the founding emperor of the Zhongtian Empire, named Shangguan Yulong. He not only founded the Zhongtian Empire, but also the Vast Palace and Tianzhu Island.
What he founded was Emperor Taizu of the Zhongtian Empire. The statue in front of him was carved from diamond rock and could be immortal for thousands of years. It has stood here for more than two thousand years and has experienced wind and rain, guarding
This Zhongtian City.
"Bing'er, the surname of the royal family of the Zhongtian Empire is the same as yours. You still have the national surname!" Zhou Weiqing said to Shangguan Bing'er with a smile.
Shangguan Bing'er frowned slightly, "My mother never wanted to mention my father. When I was in school, I asked the teacher. The teacher said that the surname Shangguan was handed down from the Zhongtian Empire. My father is probably really from the Zhongtian Empire.
.My mother took me away before I could remember, and I have never seen my father.”
Zhou Weiqing put her in his arms and said, "Bing'er, don't be sad. When I have time, I will accompany you to search for him in the Zhongtian Empire. You are so beautiful, it shouldn't be too difficult to find your father."
"Um."
Zhou Weiqing turned to Crow, who had been staring at the statue intently, and said, "Crow, let's go and sign up."
Crow said with admiration: "This statue is really strong. It would be great if God could give us more strong men from the Wujin tribe."
"Let's go. God will give it to you. If God doesn't give it to you Wujin tribe, I will help you find it later." Zhou Weiqing didn't find it funny at all when he heard the crow's desire for a man. He understood that this was the crow doing it for the inheritance of their nation.
And worry!
As expected, the registration office for the Dzi Bead Competition is right in front of the palace. The Zhongtian Empire is different. It actually built a small palace specifically for this purpose. There is a huge plaque hanging on it with four gilded characters for the Dzi Bead Competition.
Everything went very smoothly. Zhou Weiqing entered with his two daughters, signed up with the invitation letter and special token received from Feili Empire, received the competition number, and was informed that a lottery ceremony would be held in the square in front of the palace three days later. At the same time,
He also got the address of the residence specially arranged by the royal family of the Zhongtian Empire for the competition. Of course, Zhou Weiqing did not want to take his friends to live there. God knows how many monsters and snake gods from various countries gathered there, which would not be of any use to Lin Tianao and the others to recover from their injuries.
Just when the three of them completed the registration and walked out of the registration office, they met several people.
There were a dozen people in total, and they were obviously here to sign up. The most bizarre thing was that the leader, Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er, had both met before.
At the beginning, Zhou Weiqing had just met Shangguan Bing'er not long ago, and after the Dzi Pearl awakened, Shangguan Bing'er was assassinated. Among the people who assassinated her, the leader was named Bai Jiu, the ninth prince of the Crexi Empire. At this time,
His Highness the Ninth Prince suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er.
When the two sides met, Bai Jiu was stunned for a moment. He was not very impressed with Zhou Weiqing, but he was deeply impressed by Shangguan Bing'er, a stunning beauty and the only Dzi Jewel Master of the young generation in the empire. After all, this
It was once the target of his hunting.
"Is it you?" Bai Jiu stared at Shangguan Bing'er with burning eyes, and then looked up at the plaque with the four words "Dzi Bead Competition" on it, "What a joke, the Tiangong Empire also came to sign up for the Dzi Bead Competition?"
Crow standing next to Shangguan Bing'er said doubtfully: "We represent the Feili Empire."
Bai Jiu's handsome face suddenly showed a hint of disdain, "I didn't expect that the only young Dzi bead master in the Tiangong Empire, Miss Shangguan Bing'er, would join the Feili Empire! It seems that the Tiangong Empire is about to be annexed by our Cressy.
.Zhou Shuiniu has no successor!"
Zhou Weiqing raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, you are here to compete on behalf of the Cressy Empire?" His attention was not on Bai Jiu. According to his memory, Bai Jiu was just a physical jewel master, not even a physical education master.
Tianzhu Master, with his current level of cultivation, Bai Jiu is obviously not enough to pose a threat to him. What Zhou Weiqing noticed was the people behind Bai Jiu. These people looked to be about the same age if not thirty years old. Each one
Their demeanor was solemn and their expressions were cold. On the surface, they seemed like ordinary people, but Zhou Weiqing felt danger from them.
