There were hundreds of participants in this first round of auditions, which surprised Lu Yu.
The audience sitting under the stage looked at these contestants with envy.
After all, being qualified to participate in the Warriors Competition is a manifestation of ability in itself!
Each martial arts family has a limited number of places to participate. If ordinary people want to participate, it is simply impossible.
Soon, these people all stood on the square arena.
At a rough glance, the number of people was no less than 350.
These people were divided into small groups, with people from various martial arts families standing together, and the six of them, Lu Yu, also occupied a corner of the ring.
Lu Yu slowly scanned the field and saw Zhu Yonghao at a glance.
Zhu Yonghao and his team had as many as eight participants.
After all the contestants came on stage, Miao Zhengwu pressed his hands down, and the venue fell into silence for an instant.
"Since new warriors participate in the competition every year, I will also explain the rules of the competition."
"In the first round of auditions, a survival-of-the-fittest elimination system will be adopted. As long as those who are still on the stage within the specified time can advance directly."
"The limited time is thirty minutes. During these thirty minutes, you can attack other people, and others can also attack you."
"There are no rules and no restrictions. All warriors can fight to their heart's content."
"The number of people who have advanced is seventy-seven and forty-nine. The time and number of people will be determined by whoever comes first."
"Fighters, please get ready. In two minutes, I will beat this big drum."
Miao Zhengwu spoke very quickly, and explained the rules of the audition in full, regardless of whether the people below could understand them.
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. What Miao Zhengwu said was very simple. As long as you can still stand on the stage within the limited time, you can be directly promoted.
That being said, how easy is it to stand safely on stage?
Warriors must fight, and when they stand on this stage, they will become enemies with each other.
The only purpose is to knock the enemy off the stage and ensure one's own position.
"I still think this is unfair. What if someone forms an alliance to deal with one of the martial arts families?" a Nangong family member behind Nangong Heze complained.
Lu Yu was a little disapproving. Being able to find people to form alliances and join forces is also a manifestation of ability.
"When it starts later, don't explode easily, lest others see through your full strength."
"In addition, we must conserve our physical strength as much as possible to cope with the subsequent promotion matches." Nangong Lingyue turned slightly sideways towards Lu Yu and whispered.
"Okay!" Lu Yu nodded slightly.
Within two minutes, all the members of the participating martial arts families in the ring occupied a corner of the ring and stared at each other eagerly.
In this arena, you are surrounded by enemies. Whether you can persist and not be knocked off the arena, there are many factors that will affect the final result.
Personal combat power, tacit understanding of cooperation, and luck...
"Haidong City Warriors Competition, the first round of auditions, begins now!!"
When the two minutes were up, Miao Zhengwu immediately stepped forward, raised the drumstick high towards a big drum, and then smashed it down hard.
"Boom!!"
An extremely dull sound, like thunder on the ground, instantly resounded throughout the Haidong Peninsula.
"Whoosh!"
In the forest in the distance, many birds were shaken and flew into the air in flocks, hiding in the distance.
As the drum beat sounded, the hearts of everyone in the audience suddenly tightened, and the atmosphere in the arena instantly became tense.
There are only 49 people among the 350 people who can advance. Nine out of ten people have to be eliminated. You can imagine how brutal it is.
This is the circle of warriors, where heroes are wiped out in great waves.
The drum beat fell, and the arena fell into a brief silence.
After all, these martial arts families have more or less contact with each other on weekdays, and they even sat together and chatted last night.
Now that we suddenly have to attack each other, it will be somewhat embarrassing.
A hint of amusement flashed at the corner of Miao Zhengwu's mouth, and he slowly put down the drumstick and said with a smile: "You must understand that forty-nine people will advance, and this is a sure thing!"
"If the time is up, the number of people standing on the stage can only be less than forty-nine, and not more than half a person."
"If they don't step down, you will step down! What are you still hesitating about??"
Miao Zhengwu scolded, and his voice rolled like muffled thunder, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Go! Fight!"
This time, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore and immediately started to take action against the martial arts family around them.
In this arena, there is no mercy, no rules, no distance, only winning or losing.
Either stand on the stage or get off the stage, it's that simple.
A chaotic fight was about to break out, with more than 300 people fighting together in an instant.
For a time, there were constant sounds on the arena, and the shouts were loud.
The emotions of thousands of people below were also ignited at this moment, and they all stood up and cheered for the contestants of their own families!
"Come on! Fight! Come on!"
"Come on Lu Yu, come on sister Ling Yue!!"
Shouts echoed throughout the sky over the Haidong Peninsula.
The two aristocratic families on either side of Lu Yu and the six people, totaling eleven people in total, unexpectedly attacked the Nangong family in unison.
Everyone knows that persimmons should be picked soft when pinched.
In their eyes, the Nangong family is a soft persimmon.
"Lu Yu, although we are a small team at this time, remember, help if you can, and don't force yourself if you can't."
"Even if five of us are knocked out of the ring, as long as one of us is still there, then we still have hope."
"If the whole army is annihilated, then the Nangong family will be completely doomed!" Nangong Lingyue gave one final warning, then stood up and attacked the opponent.
Regarding Nangong Lingyue's words, Nangong and Ze also nodded silently.
As long as there is one person here, there is still hope.
Lu Yu also nodded slightly and followed Nangong Lingyue.
Lu Yu couldn't take care of people like Nangong Heze, but at least he should try his best to take care of Nangong Lingyue.
In Nuo's large square martial arts arena, countless battles broke out. No family was idle, and they were all engaged in fierce battles with their opponents.
Everyone in the audience kept shouting, and many people on the five-meter-high platform clenched the armrests of their chairs slightly, feeling extremely uneasy in their hearts.
At this moment, the gap between the martial arts families was clearly reflected.
There seems to be no difference in stature between the two people, but in fact their martial arts attainments are vastly different.
If it's a mule or a horse, it needs to be led out for a ride.
In such a fight, some people would immediately be unable to resist and be beaten to the point where they were unable to fight back.
Less than three minutes after the audition started, people were already being knocked off the stage.
"Bang! Bang! Plop!"
One by one, the warriors were knocked off the stage by their opponents and fell hard under the two-meter high platform.
Those who fell off the ring would be judged to be eliminated on the spot, so they had to leave the ring sadly and return to their family seats to sit down.
The winner stands firmly on the stage, while the loser leaves in disgrace.
