Chapter 96: Eager for quick success(1/2)
The next day, early morning!
The wake-up call for the recruit camp rang earlier than usual.
Wang Xian and others were still in a haze when they were awakened by the sound of the horn.
Everyone got up quickly as if in a daze and headed to the school grounds to assemble.
A quarter of an hour later.
The school captain and other recruits and generals walked onto the martial arts stage, looking at the sleepy recruits, each of them showed a knowing smile.
They have all been here since this time and understand the confused state of the new recruits.
"Sirs, today is the day of the army competition. Considering that it is your first time to participate in the army competition and many of the rules are unfamiliar to you, I specially called you all together in advance to explain the rules of the competition.
This is to prevent you from getting confused when you arrive at the competition site, unable to find the competition venue, and missing out on your qualifications for the competition."
The Commander-in-Chief of the Military Command first made an opening statement, then stepped into the topic and said:
"This contest is a grand contest held by the entire army.
It lasts for one day and has ten stages in total.
In addition to the 100 members selected from the new recruits, there are also 200 veterans participating, for a total of 300 people.
There are thirty people in each arena, and an elimination system will be adopted.
The competition is temporarily scheduled to be four rounds.
In the first round, 300 participants will compete one-on-one, and the 150 winners will participate in the second round of elimination rounds.
By analogy, in order to ensure signs of byes, one person will be selected from the last round of eliminations to supplement the lost members.
The third discussion is about the format of gathering 40 people for the competition after the competition, and finally leaving 20 people.
These twenty people will be the top twenty in this competition.
Next, there will be a ranking battle for the top twenty.
In this round of competition, the commander-in-chief will draw a list at will, and whoever is selected will go up to compete.
The winner will enter the winner's group; the loser will enter the loser's group.
Then there will be a competition between the winner and the loser to determine the top ten and top twenty members.
Later, I will take the contestants to draw lots, and you will follow Colonel Qi to the specific position of the recruits to watch the battle.
During this period, I don’t want to hear any loud and noisy incidents. Anyone who violates the order will be punished by military law!
Understand?"
"clear!"
"good!"
The commander of the army nodded, and then said loudly: "The contestants should come out and form a square formation according to their size!"
"promise!"
Wang Xian and others responded loudly.
"Captain Qi, I'll take them there first!"
The commanding officer said something, turned around and walked off the martial arts stage.
He came to the front of the phalanx and said loudly:
"There are people on both sides, follow me!"
After saying that, he led the contestants and walked out to draw lots. Countless recruits watched with envy.
...
Soon, Wang Xian and others arrived at the lottery site and found that 200 veterans had already drawn lots and were waiting for them.
The commander of the army ordered Wang Xian and others to stand still and wait for the drawing of lots.
He went to where the veterans were and chatted with several captains.
Soon, Lu Zhi and others came in from outside, and Wang Xian and others' eyes fell on them.
The lieutenants of the school came forward to see the ceremony and reported the status of the personnel.
After hearing this, Lu Zhi briefly explained a few words, walked to the edge of the martial arts hall with a cheerful face, looked at the three hundred carefully selected elite soldiers, and said loudly:
"You are selected from among thousands of troops. The original intention of this competition is to select the top twenty in the competition to fill the vacancy of lieutenant colonel in the army.
For the sake of fairness and justice, this competition will be decided by drawing lots.
Please take a look..."
As he spoke, Lu Zhi pointed to the open space on the right side of the martial arts stage with his big hand, and a large mahogany box came into view.
It was square and square, with only a small hole on the upper side that could fit an arm in.
"In that mahogany box, there were a total of three hundred signatures, with numbers from one to three hundred written on them.
The first thirty are called Arena No. 1, the thirty-one to sixty are called Arena No. 2, and so on, there are exactly ten arenas.
After everyone draws lots, they will compete based on the numbers.
For example, in Arena No. 1, No. 1 vs. 30, No. 2 vs. No. 29, No. 3 vs. 28...
By analogy, the same is true for Arena No. 2.
In the second round, lots will be drawn again, with No. 1 and No. 150 competing in Arena No. 1, and No. 2 and No. 149 competing in Arena No. 2...
By analogy, the winner advances to the next round.
Until the final battle.
Do you understand?"
clear!
The three hundred elite soldiers standing on the martial arts stage expressed their understanding.
After everyone calmed down, Lu Zhi said seriously:
"After hearing the order, the commander-in-chief will immediately take everyone to draw lots."
"promise!"
The commanders and captains of the army began to organize lottery activities.
They first messed up the recruits, and then ranked them and drew lots.
"Hey, I'm number one!"
"Ah...I am number 26."
"I'm thirty-eight, what's yours?"
"I'm forty-nine. I don't know what my opponent's number is. I'll do the math..."
…
People who drew numbers started asking each other.
Wang Xian and Sun Jian seemed relatively calm.
The former is lottery number 95, ring number 4;
The latter is lottery No. 152, stage No. 6.
"Woooo~!"
After the drawing of lots was completed, the horn sounded.
Lu Zhi and others took their seats one after another, and the entire army gathered around the arenas, waiting for the contestants to take the stage to compete.
After the contestants found the arena with the corresponding number and completed registration with the captain in charge of the ten arenas, Lu Zhi, who was sitting in the main seat of the martial arts stage, stood up, took a step forward, looked at the soldiers in the army below who were filled with joy, and said loudly
:
"The competition begins."
With that said, he flicked his sleeves and walked back to the main seat.
Woohoo~!
Dong dong dong~!
The horn sounded and the drums beat.
Wang Xian's blood boils with excitement. This scene of tens of thousands of troops ordering generals is indeed spectacular and passionate!
Contestant No. 300 takes the stage separately.
Mr. Wang is on the 4th stage, the 95th pick, and the fifth one to compete on stage.
The first person to enter the No. 4 ring was Wang Xian’s old acquaintance, the unparalleled general Pan Feng.
He was the No. 91 pick and was the first to step into the ring.
To be continued...
