At nine o'clock in the morning, the preliminary round of the Hangcheng Division of the Daxia Martial Arts Alliance officially kicked off.
There was no cumbersome pre-game ceremony. After the host announced the start of the game, the first group of 18 junior contestants boarded the nine martial arts arenas at the same time.
Wearing martial arts uniforms of different colors and a full set of protective equipment, they wielded wooden swords and started a fierce duel amidst the cheers of the audience.
The protective gear worn by the players is equipped with sensors. Once a hit is made, the corresponding indicator light will be triggered, and then the on-site referee will use this to determine the outcome of both sides.
The red light flashed, and one contestant after another resigned from the stage. The first competition was over in just a few minutes, and the fastest one ended in less than five seconds.
Almost an instant kill with one sword!
Then the second group of contestants came on stage for the second contest.
"My biggest dream ever..."
Shang Yulin looked at the boys and girls fighting on the martial arts stage and said with emotion: "It's just that I can participate in the martial arts competition and get ranked among the top 100 in the country."
Her biggest dream may not sound like much, but actually being among the top 100 in the country is already a very impressive achievement. You must know that the number of players participating in the Martial Arts League competition every year reaches eight figures.
Most of them were eliminated in the preliminaries and semi-finals of the division. Those who can make it through the knockout rounds and enter the regional finals are considered experts, let alone the national finals.
Zuo Yi smiled and said: "I'm sorry that you don't have the chance to realize your dream."
Martial arts gym owners or instructors are not restricted from participating in martial arts competitions, but extraordinary ones are not, otherwise they will be completely incomparable.
Shang Yulin is already an extraordinary person.
Shang Yulin couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him and said, "I hope Jiaojiao can help me realize this dream."
Zuo Yi shook his head: "She is still far behind..."
A smile appeared on Shang Yulin's lips: "Not necessarily, I gave her special training during the winter vacation!"
Zuo Yi laughed dumbly.
He doesn't doubt Shang Yulin's ability, but speaking of this, does Wang Jiaojiao really have any hope of winning?
The third group, the fourth group, the fifth group...
Time passed by minute by minute, and one game after another ended.
When it's almost ten o'clock, the ninth group of contestants appears!
"Sister Jiaojiao!"
Bao'er immediately saw Wang Jiaojiao, who was facing the martial arts arena in front of her. The little girl took Zuo Yi's hand and shouted as if she had discovered a new world: "Sister Jiaojiao, come on!"
Today, Wang Jiaojiao wore a white martial arts uniform, matched with the same white protective gear, holding a wooden sword and swinging her ponytail, looking very heroic.
Because the distance was a bit far and the venue was very noisy, she didn't hear the cheers from Boa at all.
Zuo Yi smiled slightly and said silently: "Jiaojiao, Baoer is cheering for you, she hopes you can win!"
Zuo Yi used his spiritual power to transmit these two sentences, which is similar to the common "voice transmission into secret" in martial arts novels.
Wang Jiaojiao, who had just stepped onto the martial arts stage, was shocked. She subconsciously turned her head to look at where Zuo Yi and Bao'er were.
"Sister Jiaojiao!"
Bao'er jumped up and waved at her happily: Here, here, here...
This time Wang Jiaojiao saw it!
She immediately showed a big smile, clenched her fists and waved them twice, looking full of energy.
The time for the preliminary round was very tight. After taking the stage, both sides entered the final countdown.
There is only twenty seconds of preparation time.
Wang Jiaojiao composed herself and turned her gaze to her opponent.
Contestant No. 0087.
Martial arts competitions are only divided into age and gender, and there are no weight and height restrictions. Wang Jiaojiao's opponent is the same age as her, but his height and size completely crush her. The two sides are not at the same level in terms of physique.
It's impossible to say that Wang Jiaojiao didn't flinch at the sight of such an opponent. After all, this was her first time participating in a swordsmanship competition. She had competed with others in martial arts gyms before and had no experience in competitions.
The atmosphere here is completely different from that of a martial arts gym. A weak-willed person cannot stand firmly in the ring. Contestant No. 0087 is holding a wooden sword with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he wants to eat Wang Jiaojiao alive!
At that moment, Wang Jiaojiao wanted to abandon her sword and admit defeat, and the look in her opponent's eyes was really scary.
But Zuo Yi, Bao'er and Shang Yulin were looking at her in the audience at this moment, and the words Zuo Yi had just conveyed lingering in their ears: "Bao'er is cheering for you..."
She wants you to win!
Wang Jiaojiao suddenly felt a surge of courage in her heart. She bravely looked directly at her opponent and also tightened her grip on the wooden sword in her hand.
The change in Wang Jiaojiao's demeanor completely caught Zuo Yi's eyes.
He couldn't help but nodded.
In fact, with Zuo Yi's methods, it is very simple for Wang Jiaojiao to win. He can come up with at least five methods.
Even if it is the simplest method, Zuo Yi will not use it.
Because such an approach goes against his faith.
Wang Jiaojiao can have the courage to face a strong opponent, even if she loses the game in the end, it is still worth looking forward to!
3,2,1,0!
The countdown ends.
"kill!"
Contestant No. 0087 suddenly let out a thunderous roar and rushed towards Wang Jiaojiao like a humanoid female tyrannosaurus. Her huge feet stomped heavily on the floor, making the entire arena tremble slightly.
In the blink of an eye, she approached Wang Jiaojiao, swung her wooden sword and struck Wang Jiaojiao on the head!
One drink, one rush, one chop, all done in one go!
A second ago, Wang Jiaojiao's mind went blank for a second.
The opponent's attack method was completely beyond her expectation and shocked her.
But Wang Jiaojiao's breathing didn't stop. She had already mastered the Dragon Breathing Technique and integrated it into her daily life. She didn't need to control it to follow the method naturally.
In a matter of breaths, Wang Jiaojiao got rid of the pressure exerted by the other party and regained control of her body.
Her consciousness was highly concentrated, without fear or panic. The moment the wooden sword came to her, she suddenly took a step to the right, narrowly avoiding her opponent's winning blow.
Snap!
The wooden sword held tightly in Wang Jiaojiao's hand fell down diagonally at the same time, striking the opponent's bucket waist with lightning speed.
drop!
Accompanied by a crisp chirp, a red light next to the arena suddenly turned on, its light dazzling.
The on-site referee immediately raised the flag and shouted: "Victory No. 0076!"
No. 0076 is Wang Jiaojiao’s number!
No. 0087 staggered forward a few steps, turned around and looked at Wang Jiaojiao with an incredulous look.
Wang Jiaojiao was stunned for a second, and then realized that she had won.
She turned around suddenly and gave a victory sign to Zuo Yi, Bao'er, and Shang Yulin who were sitting in the audience.
