Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 71:
What's it like standing in a square with tens of thousands of people?
Sui Xiong yawned, and it felt like he had come to the festival square. The crowd was chaotic and not spectacular at all.
But the group of turtles from the Masked Void Church has been shocked. Each of them opened their eyes wide, and even the snowflakes sighed.
"It's magnificent!" she whispered.
"Isn't it just a gathering of unemployed people..." Sui Xiong murmured in his heart, waved his tentacles, and let the chief priest Igor start the first round of screening.
With more than 10,000 contestants, if you don’t screen a round first, it will take longer than that!
Leon Igor nodded, got up from his seat, and walked to the podium.
"Now, try it for the first time."
He said straightforwardly, then drew his sword and waved it in the void.
The coercion of the legendary powerhouse was overwhelmingly crushed toward the crowd. At least one third of the contestants were directly unsteady, one staggered on the ground, and suspicious dampness appeared in the crotch of many people.
"Untenable, weed out."
Under the coercion of the legendary powerhouse, those who were eliminated did not dare to resist even if they were unwilling to do so. They could only grumble and complain, and were invited by the staff to leave.
Sui Xiong glanced at him and counted the number of remaining contestants, and couldn't help but secretly pouted.
There are a little more than six thousand, too much!
When he confirmed that the number of applicants was over 10,000, he once doubted whether it was Gerald and the others in order to make him happy, so they did not carefully screen, so that those who didn't understand the fart also signed up. It now appears that it is not Gerrard who released the water, but that the overall level of the contestants is really not low this time.
Being able to withstand Leon's momentum and oppression, at least the strength of a qualified adventurer can do it.
More than six thousand adventurers...Couldn't adventurers from all over the world come here?
After the first round of screening, it is the official preliminaries.
For convenience, Sui Xiong designed a frenzied preliminaries.
"In a huge scuffle in the huge arena, every one thousand people, every half an hour, only ten people can pass the level in the end." The chief priest of Leon looked at this rule and couldn't help but shed a cold sweat. "This will Many people will die..."
"No, the four gods look at people, with their noses and faces swollen or even broken two bones. They can't die." Sui Xiong said nonchalantly, "Look, as long as you play six games, six thousand people will change. It's sixty people-let's round up the whole number, get sixty-four people, and then draw lots, two people play two rounds of single elimination, and become sixteen people. These sixteen people are then drawn into groups, playing double eliminations, Finally decided the champion. It's very simple and clear."
"...what do the ‘single elimination’ and ‘double elimination’ mean?"
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, only to remember that his followers had never been in contact with competitions on the earth. Of course, it was impossible to understand the competition system he was talking about, so he introduced it again.
As for the previous crazy preliminaries, since there will be no deaths, then everyone is okay.
"It's a pity that legendary strong players can't compete..." Leon sighed, "Otherwise, I would also like to end the game and compete!"
"The ability of a legendary strongman should not simply be described as'strong and weak'." Wo La, who has become the **** of knowledge, smiled and said, "Every legendary strongman has a different path and can fight Those who cannot fight may not be better, and those who cannot fight may not go further...At this level, the strength of force is not very important anymore."
Seeing that everyone still didn’t quite understand, he said, “From a high-level to a legend, what’s the key? The key is to'find your own path'. What does this path exist for? It’s not to become stronger, but It is to transcend the mundane and to become an immortal deity in the end. So for the legendary powerhouse, the important thing is not the fighting power, but whether one's own path leads to the ultimate immortality. The rest are just incidental."
Everyone nodded their heads again and again, especially those who had reached a high level and were looking for a way to the legend, their faces were dignified and lost in thought.
"You don’t have to think so much. You don’t have to be anxious to hit the legendary realm in a day or two. Let’s do the things in front of you first!" Sui Xiong interrupted everyone’s thinking, "Also, who wants to participate, You can also sign up!"
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, more than one smiled.
The World's No. 1 Tournament... They are also very interested!
The next day, the qualifiers for the scale space began.
"Boom!" The huge, wide, long knife that resembled a door slashed fiercely on the ground, cutting out cracks in the solid ground strengthened with magic, and aroused a violent shock wave, making the surrounding players stand in a large circle. Instability, many people were even bombarded directly by the shock wave.
The one who cut this knife was the only one in the "Cold Tyrant" group of four who was not a dragon, and was an armored creature who claimed to be Phil.
At first glance, he looks like a big man wearing heavy armor and refuses to show his eyes. In fact, there is no flesh under the armor. He is actually the armor.
He was known as the "Armor Sword" many years ago and he was quite famous in the northwest. Although he didn't have much achievements as an adventurer, he was very famous as a ranger. At that time, he often did things that were justified by knights but did not benefit at all, which was completely different from ordinary adventurers.
Later, he got acquainted with Snowflake and the others, and together with the three giant dragons formed the "Cold Tyrant", and ran the free and joyful Dragon Roar Town. He stayed behind the scenes and basically stopped taking risks.
Usually, he is not looking at the grocery store, or planting flowers in the temple (dragon's nest) deep in the deserted mountains. Sometimes he also wanders in the mountains. If there is a hunter in danger, he will help him. He is an elder who is respected by the hunters in Longhou Town.
But in fact, Sui Xiong has already seen through his identity—his armor is actually just a cover up. The real identity is actually the sword that looks like a weapon.
The broad and long knife called "Buster" is his body.
Sui Xiong has not asked him about his past, but it is certain that this person, or the knife, has a story behind it.
Just ask, there are so many self-conscious weapons in the world, but who has ever heard of a self-conscious knife that is not interested in fighting, but is keen on planting flowers?
This style of painting is wrong!
Phil-or Buster's strength is very strong, a long knife can set off a gust of wind, the strong shock wave makes the contestants with him embarrassed, almost no one can approach him. And when he found that the efficiency of clearing the field just like this was not high enough, he used a larger shock wave with a larger scale and a wider range.
"Isn't it said that he is best at using his fists? How did he use the sword?" Sui Xiong asked suspiciously.
"Probably because the opponent is not strong enough, it is not worth using real skills." Leon said, "I believe that in the race stage, you will encounter opponents who need him to use his fists."
However, in fact, he didn't wait that far before the race. After only a while, Phil was forced to punch by his opponent.
It was a golden lion man. He didn't know what method he used, and his body was surrounded by lightning, looking mighty and mighty. His speed is astonishing, and his strength is also very powerful, especially his shots are extremely brutal. If it weren't for the warrior to watch the arena, I'm afraid that he would not know how many people were going to die!
"It's the Thunder Lion, the people of this clan have reappeared..." The older and more knowledgeable Morani whispered, "This is a famous fighting race among the orcs, and there has been more than one'Beast King'. . I don’t know how this little guy’s strength compares to his ancestors who are powerful in the world?"
The golden lion man is obviously a fighting freak, and when he sees a stronger opponent, he rushes over to challenge him. He quickly set Phil as the target, screaming and rushing over with a big laugh, his fist seemed to turn into a flash of light, and he took Phil's face.
His steps are vigorous and vigorous, and the shock wave of Phil's sword blasts on him, only blowing his golden retriever wildly, but he can't stop him even one step.
Seeing him rush to the front, Phil finally used real kung fu.
He put a huge weapon, which he didn't know whether it should be called a long sword or a long sword, into the ground. A bright red flame ignited in his right hand, and he swung his fist against the golden lion rushing over.
His fist was astonishingly fast and full of fiery firepower. He hit the opponent before the Golden Retriever Lion Man, punching the strong Lion Man into the air, still carrying flames on his body, booming. Knocked down many people, and finally lay on the ground, motionless.
"Beat it to death?" Rod was taken aback.
"Of course not."
As Sui Xiong said, after a while, the golden lion man actually groaned and climbed up again. Although his body was burned to black by Phil's flame fist, he even spit black smoke in his mouth. He actually had spare energy, punched a guy who wanted to pick up a bargain with a weapon and threw it out of the arena.
After slamming this punch, he looked at Phil, who was standing there for a while, no one dared to challenge him anymore.
"You are strong!" he yelled, without the pain of being beaten or the frustration of failure, but full of joy and high spirits, full of fighting spirit, "I will fight you again and defeat you!"
Phil’s laughter came from under the heavy armor: “Then I’m looking forward to it~IndoMTL.com~ After this game is over, Sui Xiong secretly found Phil and asked curiously: “You just Put the sword on the ground and fight with your fists... It's weird! "
"Where is it strange?"
"That sword is your body, right? Insert your body next to it and fight with armor that should only be used as a cover...How on earth did this happen?" Sui Xiong couldn't figure it out, so he had to Come and ask him himself.
Phil was silent for a moment and said: "This is my unique trick. I don't understand what is going on. I don't know what it is. Anyway, I will."
Sui Xiong curiously stretched out his tentacles to touch his burning right hand, only to find that there were some traces of melting on the solid armor, and he was shocked.
"If this thing melts, will it affect you?"
"Intuition tells me that the effect is not big." Phil smiled indifferently. "At least as far as'melting' is concerned, the effect is not big."
"You mean...there is a higher level trick?"
"Of course. But I won't use it in the competition." Phil smiled and turned and left. "I will only use that trick when I'm ‘win no matter what’."
