Chapter 853 Selection

Two days later, behind the temporary command headquarters, the trials officially began.

Several high platforms were set up at the temporary headquarters. There was a sea of ​​people around the high platform. Except for those who were on alert and needed to be on duty and guard the formation, everyone else gathered around the high platform.

If it weren't for the sneak attack by the water demon, there would probably be even more people coming.

Although the water demon army now proposes to compete, the temporary headquarters and Qinghu Fortress still cannot easily trust the water demons. The defense that needs to be done still needs to be done, and the arrangements that need to be made still need to be carried out.

There were a huge crowd of people around the high platform, including academic students, mercenaries, soldiers who were not on duty, and others. There were about 700,000 to 800,000 people at the temporary headquarters, and at least more than 600,000 were here. Everyone was waiting. The war started, and countless people were talking around the high platform.

"In this war, who do you think will definitely make the list?"

Someone in the noisy crowd suddenly asked.

"The first one is naturally Dao Shenjun. There is no doubt about this. Dao Shenjun is the number one true successor of Shanwu. No one can be missing him. The others include Li Xiaoyao and Huangfu Wushuang. These two should be a sure bet. Yes, it’s hard to say anything else!”

A person next to him said that these are the recognized top experts in the academy. Not to mention other students, even the vast majority of teachers from major schools are no match for them.

The vast majority of teachers are not, let alone students.

"What you are saying is nonsense. I have already heard the news. Dao Shenjun and the other three will not participate in this trial at all, because basically everyone recognizes their strength. Even if they are allowed to participate, no one will dare to challenge them. , the senior leaders of the temporary command center, Mo Rulong, Sun Biyuan, Mo Jiutian and others, after discussion, decided to narrow the selection scope. They do not need to participate, and only twenty or thirty people are eligible to participate!"

"So a large number of people are not even qualified to participate in the trials?"

"Senior, do you know who these twenty or thirty people are qualified to participate in the selection competition?"

The people next to him were shocked when they heard it and asked questions quickly.

"There are more, Chen Potian, Li Tianliang, Zhao Zhen, Si Mingzhen, Ouyang Shuangshuang, Tu Hu, Mo Zhendong, Xia Caiwei...!" The man also wanted to show off and show off that he was ahead of schedule. After getting the news, I spoke out names one by one. Most of these names were familiar to me.

"The last one should be Li Mu, who has become famous recently!"

Most of these names are well-known veteran powerhouses, and even one-third of them are stronger than Situ Meiren. When a big event comes, the potential that Shancheng will unleash is even beyond the expectations of Li Mu and Xiao Rongyu.

After all, Xiao Rongyu is only a tutor from Shanwu’s outer school and doesn’t know much about Shanwu’s inner sect, let alone other schools. The foundation and strength of the major schools in Shancheng exceeds many people’s expectations, and there are also some previous students. The veteran strong players who traveled far away have returned, so that this selection competition has gathered strong players, and the quality is very high.

Even for Li Mu, many people felt that they might not be able to get a ticket to the water demon competition.

However, after all, Li Mu has a record of chasing Xiangzu, and Xiangzu can be ranked in the middle or upper half among these people. Therefore, most people still think that Li Mu has a good chance and should have a chance to get the top six or seven places. After all, the top ten spots must first exclude Dao Shenjun, Huangfu Wushuang and Li Xiaoyao.

In the past, whether it was a competition within the college or a competition between colleges, it did not involve great righteousness, but this time it involved great righteousness, involving Qinghu Fortress, involving the Qinghu Fortress battlefield, the east-west battlefield, and several major battlefields. The lives and deaths of millions of people involve the lives and deaths of millions and tens of millions in mountain cities.

This is a rare big battle with foreign races in the entire Central China, West China, and South China. Perhaps this competition will not happen again in the next few decades.

The vast majority of people gathered around the high platforms, and at the same time, another figure appeared on the top of the temporary headquarters.

This figure was dressed in white and looked unparalleled. He had a long sword hanging on his waist. He was not wearing a school uniform. He looked like a swordsman from an ancient painting.

This figure is the number one true successor of Shanwu, Tao Shenjun.

"Brother!"

At this moment, another figure stepped forward in the air. This figure also had an extremely powerful aura. Waves of tyrannical mana spread out. These mana condensed a series of magic patterns around this figure. This figure was obviously Li Xiaoyao from the First Monastery College in Shancheng.

Li Xiaoyao is a master of transcending the tribulation, and his strength is much more powerful than Xia Caiwei and Situ Meiren. He has already reached the peak of his cultivation in the late period of the tribulation, and is considered to be the strongest person who is most likely to enter the divine realm within three years of the first monastic academy in the mountain city. By.

However, Li Xiaoyao's strength is comparable to Huangfu Wushuang, and both of them are slightly weaker than Dao Shenjun.

"Junior brother is also interested in this trial?"

Dao Shenjun asked with a smile.

"On a larger scale, the game against the water demon may be related to the future survival crisis of the mountain city. On a smaller scale, it is at least related to the situation in West China in the next few years or even ten years. I and other people of this generation will encounter this situation at the right time. How can you not care about the war!"

Li Xiaoyao said.

"Then let's see!"

Tao Shenjun nodded slightly and looked towards the high platform. On the other side of the high platform, the time for the competition had come, and a sound of mountains and tsunamis rang out.

"It's Senior Chen Potian here!"

"Senior Chen Potian is a senior monk of Longhu Academy. It is said that he is a dual practitioner of Taoism and Martial Arts. His current strength is equivalent to the early stage of the third level of the Great Sage Realm, or around the peak of the second level of the Great Sage Realm. I don't know what level he is now!"

"No matter what level Senior Chen is at now, his level is definitely not low. I think it shouldn't be a problem for Senior Chen to get a quota!"

"Yes, Senior Chen should have no problem getting a spot!"

Many people around him basically have this idea, thinking that it should be no problem for Chen Potian to get a quota.

"Look, others are coming too!"

"Zhao Zhen, Si Mingzhen, Ouyang Shuangshuang, they are all here too!"

Watching the figures appear in the sky, the voices of wonder in the crowd grew louder and louder.

Li Mu had never seen most of these people, because most of them had entered Qinghu Fortress three months ago, and had been helping fight in Qinghu Fortress since then, and had never come out at all.

Even if the temporary headquarters later formed a death squad, in order to prevent the water demons on the Qinghu side from being alerted, and because of the blockade of the water demon army, it was difficult for them to get out, so the death squads basically did not participate.

Soon after, figures landed on the high platform one after another. Everyone looked around, but did not see Li Mu appear. Many people started talking when they saw Li Mu did not appear.

"Li Mu hasn't come yet, is he afraid?"

"How could Li Mu be afraid? Li Mu has always been bold, but I have never heard of him being afraid. In order to block the underground river in Xiaoqing Lake, the temporary command headquarters formed a death squad. Li Mu originally did not participate, but he went anyway. , and finally saved many members of the death squad, and later escaped from the hands of King Jinchan, one of the four tyrants of Qinghu. Later, he fought with Xiangzu and chased Xiangzu all the way here. Now Xiangzu is still alive and dead. I don’t know, he has seen all those big scenes, how could he be afraid!”

"That's right, and now that the battle is about to begin, even the trials should be over. He should not risk death. Li Mu is not afraid of fighting with the water monster. How could he be afraid of participating in the trials? I don't think he is afraid. , maybe still adjusting, or recuperating from injuries!"

If others hadn't come by now, I'm afraid there would still be many people who would suspect that others were timid, but Li Mu came later, but no one thought so. The shadow of a famous tree, and Li Mu's reputation spread far and wide, because he suspected that others were timid. , and it is impossible to suspect that he is timid.

Mo Jiutian personally presided over this trial. Mo Rulong and Sun Biyuan were still sitting outside in order to guard against the water demon's attack. In addition, if there was a situation in Qinghu Fortress, they had to rush to Qinghu Fortress immediately, so they did not come.

"Everyone is familiar with the current situation, so I won't go into details. The situation on the battlefield has suddenly changed, and now there are some problems on the Qinghu battlefield. Therefore, the water demon proposed to compete with us and hold ten battles to determine the outcome of the war. losses, and the subsequent profit distribution. In order to win these ten victories, we have currently determined three places to participate: Dao Shenjun, Huangfu Wushuang and Li Xiaoyao. The remaining seven places need to be selected from among everyone in the ring. Out!"

Mo Jiutian gave a brief talk, and then announced the rules. The rules were very simple, that is, a rotation battle. One point will be awarded for a win, one point will be deducted for a defeat, and no points will be scored for a draw.

After all, this is just a trial, not a life-and-death battle. In some cases, one side brings out its own trump card, and then the trump card is too powerful, and the other party also pulls out his trump card to intimidate each other. Neither side is sure to easily take over the opponent's trump card. They dare not take it at this time. If you act rashly, it will be a draw.

Moreover, life-and-death fights are never encouraged in the selection competition. After all, this is not another situation. It is best to stop at the last minute and show your strength, but not to hurt anyone. This is the best.

In addition, Mo Jiutian also has privileges as a referee, that is, there are seven places. He can finally designate one or two people to participate based on his own judgment, even if these two people do not enter the top seven in terms of points. After all, some people have special trump cards, or It is a martial arts magical power. Although it is not effective against humans, it is more suitable for dealing with demons. At that time, a special case is needed.

In front of hundreds of thousands of people, it was impossible for Mo Jiutian to cheat, and there was no need to cheat in this matter.

As long as you are finally selected, the academy will give you massive rewards. Basically, you won’t have to worry about resources for training in the future. If you can win again in the battle with the water monster, then the mountain city will directly give you a super reward. In one sentence If you can, as long as you can participate and agree, the benefits will be endless.

If you want honor and honor, if you want benefits and benefits, power, status and resources are at your fingertips, without any ambiguity.

Mo Jiutian just briefly talked about these things, and then announced the start of the selection. The first round of the selection was based on a lottery system. Half of the people went up to draw their names, and the name drawn was their opponent. However, because Li Mu did not arrive, the first Someone will get a bye immediately.

Soon the three arenas started fighting at the same time, and six figures jumped directly onto the high platform.

There are two seed players among these six figures. They are Li Tianliang and Zhao Zhen. Both of them are quite powerful and are recognized as the ones who are most likely to get one of the seven places.

Their opponents are relatively weaker, but even if they are weaker, they will not be too weak. After all, most of those who can participate in the trials this time are actually from the Great Saint Realm.

"Senior Brother Li, I give up. I competed with senior brother half a year ago. The gap was huge at that time. Now I am no match for senior brother!"

However, as soon as he entered the ring, Li Tianliang's opponent immediately gave up. After all, Li Tianliang's opponent was only half a Great Sage. It was too difficult to beat a strong man in the middle and late stages of the Great Sage. Even if he had a trump card, he knew that he was not. Li Tianliang's opponent.

Li Tianliang nodded directly and stood on the ring without getting down. He would wait for his second opponent, but this would have to wait until all other first-round matches were over.

"Senior Zhao, please show mercy!"

At the same time, Zhao Zhen's opponent did not admit defeat, because his opponent was also a strong man in the Great Sage Realm. Zhao Zhen's opponent was named Fang Tong, and he practiced the spiritual-level high-grade martial arts, Heart-Destroying Palm.

"This battle is related to the survival of Qinghu Fortress. I will take action with all my strength. Junior, be careful!"

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said seriously.

"please!"

Fang Tong said no more and directly made a gesture of invitation. At the same time, his whole body was full of momentum, and a terrifying aura appeared directly, revealing his first-level cultivation in the Great Saint Realm.

"Broken Jade Fist!"

Zhao Zhen roared loudly, and punched out in a flash. The secret of the Shattering Jade Fist he practiced was that once it was released, not only was every punch extremely powerful, it had the power of breaking jade to destroy mountains, but it also blasted out with one punch. The subsequent punches will continue to flow, like a wave that makes people overwhelmed.

"Heart-destroying palm, soul-eating and heart-eating!"

Fang Tong also took action in an instant. His palm technique was very strange, and the most important thing was that it was a little tricky. His palm technique was so weird that it was hard to guard against.

Fang Tong struck out with a strike, using his palm skills and body skills to instantly cut Zhao Zhen's left side. At the same time, his arm quickly wrapped around Zhao Zhen's fist, and it 'bited' Zhao Zhen directly like a boneless snake. s face.

"boom!"

But at this moment, Zhao Zhen's Shattering Jade Fist suddenly shook Fang Tong's arm away, and the power of the three punches exploded instantly. The three punches dispersed Fang Tong's palm with one blow, and dispersed Fang Tong's palm with the second blow. Fang Tong's protective evil aura hit Fang Tong directly for the third time. Zhao Zhen actually lured the enemy deeper and ended the battle with one blow in an instant, injuring Fang Tong.

"Thank you, senior, for showing mercy!"

Fang Tong was almost knocked off the high platform, but he also knew that Zhao Zhen had shown mercy just now. Otherwise, although it would be impossible to kill him, it would not be a problem to severely injure him with one blow.

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, using martial arts suppression and strategy to determine the outcome with one strike. Zhao Zhen got the first point after Li Tianliang.
