Chapter 71
What is it like if tens of thousands of people stand in a square?>
Sui Xiong yawned, and it felt like he was coming to a festival square, with a mess of people and not spectacular at all.
But the local bullies of the Void Mask Church were already shocked. They all widened their eyes, and even the snowflakes sighed quite a bit.
"It's so spectacular!" she whispered.
"Isn't it just a gathering of unemployed vagrants..." Sui Xiong murmured in his heart, waved his tentacles, and asked the chief priest Igor to take action and carry out the first round of screening.
How long does it take for more than 10,000 contestants to screen for one round first?
Leon Igor nodded, stood up from his seat, and walked to the rostrum.
"Now, first trial."
He said straight to the point, then drew his sword and waved it in the void.
The power of the legendary power overwhelmed the crowd. At least one-third of the contestants stood unsteadily and staggered on the ground. Many people had suspicious moisture in their crotch.
"If you can't stand, you will be eliminated."
Under the pressure of the legendary powerful man, those who were eliminated did not dare to resist even if they were unwilling to do so. They could only murmur and complain, and were invited by the staff to leave the scene.
Sui Xiong glanced at him and counted the remaining number of contestants, and couldn't help but curl his lips secretly.
There are actually a little more than 6,000, too many!
When he confirmed that the number of applicants exceeded 10,000, he once suspected that Gerald and the others did not carefully screen them in order to make him happy, so that those geniuses who didn't know much about the fart also signed up. Now it seems that it was not Gerald and the others who let the water go, but that the overall level of the contestants this time was really not low.
Only by being able to withstand Leon's momentum and strength must be at least equivalent to a qualified adventurer in order to do it.
More than 6,000 adventurers... Could it be that adventurers from all over the world have come here?
After the first round of screening, the official preliminaries will be held.
For convenience, Sui Xiong designed a crazy preliminaries.
"A big melee in a giant stadium, every thousand people are one game, every half an hour, and in the end, only ten people can pass the test." The Grand Priest Leon looked at this rule and couldn't help but sweat, "A lot of people will die..."
"No, the four gods looked at people, at most they were bruised and even had two bones broken, and they could not die." Sui Xiong said indifferently, "You see, as long as you fight six games, six thousand people will become sixty people - let's make an integer, get sixty four people, and then draw lots, two people in a group of two rounds of singles, and become sixteen people. These sixteen people will draw lots and get doubles and eliminate them, and finally decide the championship. It's very simple and clear."
“…What do the ‘single elimination’ and ‘double elimination’ mean?”
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment before remembering that his believers had never been exposed to the competition on earth. Of course, it was impossible to understand the competition system he mentioned, so he introduced it again.
As for the previous crazy preliminaries, since no one will die, everyone has no objection.
"It's a pity that the legendary strongman cannot participate in the competition..." Leon sighed, "Otherwise, I want to come out and compete!"
"The ability of a legendary strongman should not be simply described as 'strength'." Wo Li, who has become the god of knowledge, said with a smile, "Every legendary strongman has a different path. Those who can fight may not be more clever, and those who cannot fight may not go further... At this level, the strength of force is no longer very important."
Seeing that everyone still didn't understand, he said, "What is the key to from high-level to legend? The key is to 'find your own path'. What does this path exist for? It's not for becoming stronger, but for transcending the mundane, and for the ultimate immortal god. So for the legendary strong man, what is important is not combat power, but whether his own path can lead to the ultimate immortality. The rest are just a side note."
Everyone nodded repeatedly when they heard this, especially the few who had reached the advanced level and were looking for a path to the legend, their faces were even more solemn and fell into deep thought.
"Don't think too much. If you hit the legendary realm, don't rush to do the things in front of you for a day or two, first do it well!" Sui Xiong interrupted everyone's thoughts, "Also, anyone who wants to participate in the competition can also sign up!"
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and more than one smiled.
The world's number one martial arts competition... They are also very interested!
The next day, the qualifiers for the scale space began.
"Boom!" The huge, long sword that was as huge as a door panel slashed hard on the ground, slashing cracks out of the solid ground strengthened by magic, and even aroused a fierce shock wave, making the players in a large circle of around him unstable, and many people were even bombarded by the shock wave.
The one who cut this knife was the only armored creature in the "Extreme Cold Tyrant" four-person group who was not a giant dragon, who claimed to be Phil.
At first glance, he was a big man wearing heavy armor and refused to even reveal his eyes. In fact, there was no body under the armor, and he was actually that armor.
He was known as the "Armored Demon Sword", many years ago, and although he did not achieve much as an adventurer, he was very famous as a ranger. At that time, he often did things that were righteous but had no profit at all, which was completely different from ordinary adventurers.
Later, he met Xuehua and the others, formed the "Extreme Cold Tyrant" with three giant dragons, and managed the free and joyful Dragon Roar Town, where he lived in seclusion behind the scenes and basically no longer took risks.
Usually, he either looks at the store in the grocery store or plants flowers in the temple (Dragon's Nest) flower fields deep in the barren mountains. Sometimes he would wander in the mountains. If a hunter is in danger, he would rescue him. He is an elder who is respected by the hunters in Longhou Town.
But in fact, Sui Xiong had seen through his identity - his armor was actually just a concealment, and his real identity was actually the sword that looked like a weapon.
The broad long sword called "Buster" is his essence.
Sui Xiong had never asked him about his past, but it was certain that there was a story behind this person, or the knife.
Let me ask, there are so many self-conscious weapons in the world, but who has ever heard of a self-conscious big knife who is not interested in fighting and is keen on planting flowers?
This style is wrong!
Phil - or Buster is very strong. He can stir up a strong wind with a swing of a long sword. The strong shock wave makes the contestants on the same field embarrassed, and almost no one can get close to him. When he found that the efficiency of clearing the field alone was not high enough, he even used a large shock wave with a larger scale and wider range.
"Isn't it said that he is best at using fists? Why did it turn out to use swords?" Sui Xiong asked in confusion.
"Probably, the opponent is not strong enough and it is not worth using real skills." Leon said, "I believe that when the main stage, I will meet an opponent who needs him to use his fists."
However, in fact, I didn't wait that far away from the main game. After only a while, Phil was forced to use a punch by his opponent.
It was a golden lion man. He didn't know what method he used, and his whole body was surrounded by lightning, looking extremely majestic. His speed was amazingly fast and his power was very powerful, especially his actions were extremely cruel. If Wo Li hadn't taken care of the field, I was afraid that how many people would die under his command!
"It's Thunder Lion, and the people of this clan have reappeared..." Morani, who is old and knowledgeable, whispered, "This is a famous fighting race among the orcs, and has produced more than one 'beast king'. I wonder how strong this little guy is compared to his ancestors who are so powerful in the world?"
The golden lion man was obviously a battle tycoon. He rushed over to challenge him when he saw a stronger opponent. He quickly took Phil as his target, rushed over with a strange cry and laughed. His fist seemed to turn into a lightning, catching Phil's face.
His steps were vigorous and powerful, and the shock wave of Phil's sword swing hit him, but it made his golden retriever swing wildly, but he couldn't stop even a single step.
Seeing him rushing in front of him, Phil finally used real skills.
He inserted a huge weapon that was not known to be called a long sword or a long sword into the ground, and a bright red flame ignited with his right hand, and waved his fist toward the golden lion.
His fist was astonishingly fast and filled with fiery fire. He hit the opponent before the Golden Lion Man, punching the strong Lion Man with a punch, and rumbled down many people. Finally, he lay on the ground, motionless.
"Beat to death?" Rhodes was startled.
"Of course not."
As Sui Xiong said, a moment later, the golden-retriever lion actually got up again moaned. Although his body was burned black by Phil's Fist of Flame and even his mouth was spitting black smoke, he still had the strength to knock a guy who wanted to get a bargain and flew out with his weapons with his weapons and fell outside the field.
After swinging this punch, he looked at Phil, who was standing there leisurely and no one dared to challenge him again.
"You are very strong!" He screamed, his face without any pain of being beaten or frustration of failure, but was filled with joy and high spirits, "I will fight you another match to defeat you!"
Phil's laughter came from under the heavy armor: "Then I'm looking forward to it."
After the game ended, Sui Xiong secretly found Phil and asked curiously: "You just inserted your sword to the ground and fought with your fists... It's very strange!"
“What’s strange?”
"That sword is your body, insert your body next to it and fight with armor that should have been just a cover-up... How did this be done?" Sui Xiong couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask him.
Phil was silent for a moment and said, "This is my unique trick. I actually don't understand what's going on, but I can do it anyway."
Sui Xiong curiously stretched out his tentacles to touch his burning right hand, but found that there were a few traces of melting on the solid armor, and he was shocked.
"Will this thing melt away affect you?"
"Intuition tells me that the impact is not big." Phil smiled indifferently, "at least in terms of 'melt', the impact is not big."
"You mean...there are some tricks at higher levels?"
