Chapter 154 The Opening Ceremony of the Exchange Competition
January 10th.
The National Freshman Martial Arts Exchange Competition officially opens!
Early in the morning, countless people gathered in front of Mowu Gate.
In the front, countless reporters occupied the front-line positions, with long guns and short cannons flashing around.
"Governor Huang of the Magic City is here!"
"Vice Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Education!"
"Chief of the Detective Bureau of Magic City!"
"Hey, is that someone from the military department?"
"There are also people from the business community. Is that the vice president of Fosun?"
"The CEO of China Pacific Insurance is also here. He must be up to no good when he comes. He won't kill anyone and is prepared to settle the claim, right?"
"..."
Outside the crowd, Fangyuan stood on tiptoe, sweating profusely, and said angrily: "You can't even see it, why don't you let us in?"
Tan Zhenping smiled and reassured: "When these big shots arrive, we will be here."
Compared to the big shots in the center, it would be nice for them to be able to go in and watch the game, and Tan Zhenping didn't have too many extravagant demands.
As for his immediate boss's immediate boss...the Ministry of Education has a deputy minister, and that has nothing to do with Tan Zhenping.
There are too many little people like him, and no one knows what kind of onion he is.
"Where are the students from Wuhan University?"
Someone asked curiously, but Tan Zhenping didn't care who asked, and said casually: "It seems that you entered the venue early through another door."
Wu Zhihao complained: "Why did that boy Fang Ping go there? We were thinking about asking him to take us in early, but everyone disappeared."
"My brother said he had something to do and asked us to go in first."
Fangyuan explained to her eldest brother that if Fang Ping was fine, he would not ignore her sister.
Several people followed the crowd, pushing and shoving and chatting loudly.
The big shots in the center were already entering one after another at this moment, and soon they were there.
Very soon, as soon as the big shots entered the venue, someone from Mowu began to lead the team and arranged for the audience to enter one after another.
…
Seven or eight minutes later, everyone followed the team and walked into the Mowu Gymnasium.
Everyone just entered the venue and seemed a little noisy.
Soon, on the big stage in the center of the stadium, a strong man came on stage and shouted: "Quiet!"
"Everyone finds his or her own seat and no loud noises are allowed!"
"This is a warrior exchange competition, a concert for non-stars!"
"Keeping quiet is the greatest respect for every warrior!"
"No one is allowed to interfere with the order of the competition, make loud noises for no reason, or insult the participating team members!"
"..."
The strong man on stage announced many rules one after another, and the crowd gradually became quiet.
Only then did everyone realize that this was not a concert they usually went to, nor was it an exchange competition with a theater troupe.
Any warrior is a privileged class in society.
It was the first time that they were allowed to enter and watch the fight today. Except for the underground boxing market, this kind of formal large-scale martial arts competitions had not allowed ordinary people to watch the fight before.
After announcing the rules, the warrior on stage continued: "The first national freshman exchange competition officially opens!"
No one in the audience came to their senses for a moment, so quickly?
The leader’s speech is gone?
Don’t you introduce the guests?
While everyone was in a daze, someone on the side of the stage held a microphone and loudly shouted: "Gentlemen and ladies, please keep quiet!
In this exchange competition, I and the beautiful warrior next to me will explain it to everyone.
Let me introduce myself, Liu Huarong, a fourth-grade warrior from the Martial Arts Alliance."
"Chen Xueyan, a fourth-grade warrior, from the Ministry of Education."
Liu Huarong looks very young, in his early thirties, and always has a smile on his face.
Although Chen Xueyan also smiled, it was not so natural.
This exchange competition is open to the public and allows ordinary people to watch the game. There was no unanimous opinion before, so everyone has a lot of ideas about the mode of holding this exchange competition.
Some people suggested that to be more friendly to the people, you could even invite some famous funny hosts in the industry to explain it to everyone.
But many people disagree and think it should be more serious. The exchange competition is not a sideshow or an exhibition competition.
This is a very serious martial arts competition.
There are many things involved, including the thoughts of the participating warriors. These people are geniuses, not members of the circus.
After arguing and arguing, we finally compromised and invited the eloquent Liu Huarong to give some simple on-site explanations. We also invited Chen Xueyan from the Ministry of Education to be the deputy broadcaster, but her main responsibility was supervision.
Prevent Liu Huarong from talking about rising and affecting the competition.
The two introduced themselves, and soon Liu Huarong smiled and said: "To be honest, this is also the first time for me to host such a large-scale martial arts exchange competition in front of so many people.
Without further ado, let me briefly introduce the background of this exchange competition.
There are a total of 99 martial arts universities in China, among which Kyoto Martial Arts University and Modou Martial Arts University are the most famous.
The other 97 universities, including China Wuhan University, Kyoto University, East China Normal University, Jingnan Wuhan University... 8 Wuhan University, formed an eight-school alliance.
The other 89 Wuhan universities formed the Wuhan University Alliance.
This time, these four teams participated in the exchange competition, namely Kyoto Wuhan University, Modou Wuhan University, the Eight-School Alliance and the Wuhan University Alliance.
The competition is a team battle system. Each team can play a maximum of 5 people in each game, and they compete one-on-one.
The loser steps down, and the winner can continue to accept the challenge!
Whichever team survives until the end wins.
The rules are very simple. In addition, the order of appearance of the contestants will be reported in advance. The first round of competition will be decided by drawing lots!
Today's opening ceremony is mainly to let everyone get to know the members of each team and draw lots to determine the opponent.
There are tens of thousands of freshmen from Wuhan University in the 99 universities across the country. Those who can come to participate in the competition today, even if they are reserve members, are the talents of the young generation of warriors in China!
Next, let us get to know these talented people. After a few years, maybe we can see them at the top of various industries!
Now, let’s invite this time’s host team, the participating team from the Magic City Wuhan University!”
…
Backstage.
Fu Changding straightened his clothes and said nervously: "I suddenly felt a little nervous."
"Me too."
"There are so many people, and there are many masters on the second floor!"
"..."
Everyone was a little nervous, even Fang Ping was no exception.
Bai Ruoxi on the side comforted her: "Don't be nervous, it's just a formality. There is no competition today, you must overcome it!
If you are nervous this time, you will be in trouble when you get on the stage."
Everyone nodded quickly, and there were also so many people in the next arena battle.
If you are nervous this time, you may make mistakes in the next game and someone may die.
When he heard the shouts in front of him, Fang Ping took a breath, calmed down and said, "Let's go up!"
Although everyone was a little cramped, they still had the qualities they should have. After hearing this, they followed Fang Ping and walked to the front desk together.
…
front desk.
While waiting for them to come on stage, Liu Huarong looked through the information and said with a smile: "I also took a look at some of the information on the Internet.
At that time, Zhao Lei, a classmate of Wuhan University in Shanghai, was very vocal. Zhao Lei was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Shanghai in 2008 and was already a first-class martial artist before he entered the school.
Everyone thinks that classmate Zhao Lei will definitely be stronger now... This is inevitable!
No surprise, classmate Zhao Lei is also in Mowu's participating team and is one of the main team members.
However... Mowu's team leader this year is not classmate Zhao Lei. Of course, the captain may not be the strongest, but students who are not strong will definitely not be the captain!
Then who is the captain of Mowu this time?"
While Liu Huarong was talking, Fang Ping had already stepped out.
"Did everyone see it? Walking at the front of the Mowu team is the captain of Mowu, classmate Fang Ping!"
"Classmate Fang Ping, how about saying hello to everyone?"
Fang Ping, who was on the stage, bowed slightly and said, "Hello everyone, I am Fang Ping, a freshman from the Weapons Academy of the Magic City Martial Arts University!"
…
Off stage.
Fangyuan was completely confused.
"That's my brother?"
The little girl's head was spinning. Why did Fang Ping come on stage and become the captain?
The eyes of Xiaoling next to her were shining, and she said with admiration: "Brother Fang is actually a contestant and captain of Mowu. Yuanyuan, your brother is so awesome!"...
On the other side, Wu Zhihao and others also seemed to have been cast a body-holding spell.
Several people looked at each other, and after a long while, Wu Zhihao said bitterly: "He is the captain?"
"This guy...he is actually the captain of Mowu, and he didn't tell us!" Yang Jian was completely speechless.
Liu Ruoqi was relatively calm and whispered: "What is Fang Ping's strength?"
"this……"
They didn't need to guess, Liu Huarong on the side of the stage smiled and said: "Fang Ping comes from the Magic Weapons Academy, with peak first-class strength, and he was also the top scorer in Ruiyang City's martial arts examination in 2008.
Of course, this is information submitted by their school, please don’t take it seriously, Mowu may not really expose the students’ full strength.”
Chen Xueyan, who had been silent all this time, interjected: "It's not that it may not be possible, it's that it will definitely not reveal all its strength.
According to the information submitted by Mowu, their captain Fang Ping is good at... good at the Lion Roar Kung Fu, do you believe it?"
"Ahem, cough, cough, there's this one, I didn't see it, sorry, sorry..."
Fang Ping on the stage was also a little embarrassed. Could he be more reliable?
Can the person who submitted the information to Mowu be more serious?
After all, Fang Ping was not alone on the stage. Liu Huarong and Fang Ping talked for a while, and then quickly moved on to the others.
"There are five members of the main team of Mowu. Except for the captain Fang Ping, the team member Zhao Lei is relatively familiar to everyone. Classmate Zhao Lei, how about you get to know everyone?"
"Zhao Lei, a first-year student at the Weapons Academy of the Magic City Wuhan University!"
"Classmate Zhao Lei is very cold. According to the information, classmate Zhao Lei is good at... Iron Head Kung Fu?"
Liu Huarong laughed and said: "It seems that Mowu is not ready to expose the true strength of its students. Student Zhao Lei is also at the peak of first-class strength."
"The third member of Mowu, classmate Fu Changding."
"Hello everyone, I am Fu Changding, a freshman at the Ordnance Academy."
“Classmate Fu Changding is also at the top of his class. He ranked 4th in the Kyoto College Entrance Examination, and the three students in front of him all chose Kyoto Wuhan University.
I think if Mowu and Jingwu meet, it will definitely be interesting, and there will be many battles for the number one champion!"
"The fourth main team member of Mowu is Yang Xiaoman. Although classmate Yang Xiaoman is a girl, she is not inferior to men. She also performed extremely well in Mowu. Yang Xiaoman himself was also the top pick in Hai'an Province in 2008!"
"..."
"The fifth main team member of Mowu, Zhao Xuemei, is also a girl and also entered Mowu as the top pick. Zhao Xuemei was the top pick in Qinghu City in 2008 and was also the top pick in Donglin Province."
"..."
"Chen Yunxi, a member of the Mowu reserve team, has peak first-class strength and is the number one scholar in Jingnan Province!"
"..."
"Member of the Demonic Martial Reserve Team, Tang Songting, with peak first-level strength..."
"..."
"Jin Lei, a member of the Demonic Martial Reserve Team, has a high level of strength..."
"..."
Liu Huarong gave a brief introduction to the 10 team members, and finally said with a smile: "Luxury lineup!
There are 7 members who are at the peak of the first rank, and three members who are in the upper tier of the first rank, who are also close to the peak of the first rank.
The provincial top picks and the city top picks are all gathered together. This is the new team of Mowu!
Looking back on those years, after I entered Wuhan University, I became the peak of the first grade in the second semester of my sophomore year, and only entered the second grade in my junior year. Until graduation, I was still the second grade.
Today's young people are very powerful!
I think, maybe within a few years, these geniuses will surpass us."
Liu Huarong sighed a few words, then quickly smiled and said: "Next, we invite the members of the Jingwu team to come on stage!"
…
As soon as the Kyoto Wuhan University team came on stage, everyone in Fang Ping turned their attention to it.
The leader was a thin-looking boy, not tall.
Soon, everyone knew who this person was.
"The captain of Mowu was a bit unexpected, but the captain of Jingwu was guessed by everyone!
Han Xu, with peak first-class strength, is the top scorer in the national martial arts examination!"
"Classmate Han Xu, are you really a first-class person?" Liu Huarong asked with a smile.
Han Xu was extremely serious and meticulous as he said: "I am a peak first-grade warrior from the Kyoto Martial Arts University. The 10 members are all peak first-grade warriors. There is no second grade!"
"Jingwu's team lineup is even more luxurious! All 10 of them are first-class peak warriors!"
…
Everyone in Fang Ping was also a little solemn. It was not easy for Mowu to gather 7 first-grade peak warriors. Unexpectedly, all of them were from Jingwu.
And when the members of the Eight-School Alliance came on stage, the lineup was also very luxurious.
Captain Wei Bin and the four main team members are also at the top of the first rank, and the other five are also at the top of the first rank.
Among them, Fang Ping and the others met Chen Hongwei from East China Normal University.
Of course, seeing so many members at the top of the first rank, the audience didn't care too much.
It wasn't until members of the Wuhan University Alliance came on stage that there was another uproar.
"Sun Mingyu, the captain of the Wuhan University Alliance, comes from Wuhan University in Northern Xinjiang and is a second-grade junior!"
"Chen Jiasheng, the main team member, comes from Donglin Wuhan University and is a second-grade junior!"
"Bai Yin, the main team member, comes from Nanjiang Wuhan University and is at the top of the first rank!"
"..."
"Reserve member Wang Huaijin, from Soochow University, a high-ranking first-class student..."
Fang Ping heard the name of an acquaintance, Wang Huaijin from Wuhan University.
In addition, I also took a closer look at Bai Yin from Nanjiang Wuhan University.
As for the two second-grade warriors from the Martial Arts Alliance, Fang Ping didn't pay much attention to them.
Not only him, but also Han Xu from the Jingwu side didn't think much of these two second-grade warriors.
There was some commotion in the audience. Unexpectedly, there were two second-grade warriors from two famous schools and two second-grade warriors from the Wuhan University Alliance.
…
The second floor of the gymnasium.
Many powerful masters are sitting here.
At this moment, someone suddenly laughed and said: "It doesn't make much sense for the Wuhan University Alliance to play these little tricks."
Someone said coldly: "Whether it makes sense or not, we will know when the time comes."
"Haha, now I have attracted the attention of many people, but when the two second-grade warriors are casually penetrated by the first-grade warriors, haha, then you will know what it means that the higher the praise, the harder the fall will be!"
As for the thoughts of the Wuhan University Alliance, everyone present could guess it right away.
Eye-catching!
The martial arts alliance is very strong, very powerful. Are these two second-grade warriors powerful?
There are no schools like Jingwu and the Eight-School Alliance. Only the Wuhan Alliance has a second grade. What does this mean?
The Wuhan University Alliance represents a lot of talent and resources.
But the people present were not stupid, and some even sneered.
Two warriors who are in the first stage of the second level, are they really invincible after reaching the second level?
On Mowu and Jingwu's side, maybe a random member of the main team could defeat these two second-grade players. Then it would be really embarrassing.
The people from the Wuhan University Alliance didn't care and said with a faint smile: "We'll just wait and see."
"We'll have to wait and see. I really want to see what it feels like to have two second-tier players defeated in the first round."
The other strong men who were not from Wuhan University did not say anything, looking like they were enjoying the show.
These two second-tier players from the Wuhan University League had better have some real strength, otherwise, they would be defeated in the first round, and that would be a shameful loss to grandma's house.
