Chapter 263: The Great Competition at the Top of Dao Mountain
"Breaking news!"
"The Nangong family in the southeast and the Gu family in the northeast were uprooted by the authorities for treason!!"
"The Cao family of Central Plains voluntarily surrendered all their assets and voluntarily retreated to Mingyue Cave Heaven!!"
"The Du family in the southwest secretly colluded with the foreign enemy Night God Cult and all of them were executed ten days ago!!!"
Hot searches occupied the headlines of major media outlets early in the morning.
Each piece of news is about the major families in Dragon Country.
Even the enthusiasm for the national trial competition was suppressed by this news.
Many netizens looked at the news in disbelief.
"It's really amazing! I actually saw all these great families being destroyed overnight! I'll sleep a little longer."
“Is this true? Are there any local netizens who can explain it?”
"It should be true. Our entire city is under martial law. Every few steps on the street are guarded by professionals."
“@The fish that loves to eat kittens@What’s the human world@Have you eaten it? Take my knife, come and see!!”
"It's so satisfying!! My son's revenge has finally been achieved!"
"These noble families should have died long ago. It's really a bargain for the Cao family."
Those who were oppressed by the aristocratic families rushed to tell each other and celebrated this great news.
However, the other slightly smaller families were not so happy.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this was definitely an intentional plan by the authorities.
But they have valid reasons, and every charge is a serious crime. Besides, the aristocratic family is unpopular, so no one will speak for them.
The most powerful families have all fallen, and they have no choice but to bow their heads under the trend of the times.
It can be said that everyone in the major families is in danger now.
A few hours after the news broke, noble families from all over Longguo submitted petitions expressing their willingness to hand over most of their resources and industries.
At the same time, he laid off 90% of his professionals and only retained family members.
As for those noble families who still wanted to resist and were unwilling to give up their power, they were naturally eliminated step by step by the authorities.
On October 10, 999 in the Longguo calendar, the threat from the aristocratic families was completely eliminated.
The top of the mountain.
Although the outside world is bustling, it still does not affect the trial competition in Daoshan.
Around the only arena on the top of Daoshan Mountain, tens of thousands of spectators had already filled all the stands .
The one hundred trial participants who entered this round were now ready to go.
The matchup classification will be announced before the game starts, which is less than half an hour before the game begins.
Naturally, it is impossible to hide things happening in the outside world from them.
The hundreds of people who witnessed the inside story last night were feeling mixed emotions.
They didn't expect that Wang Changjun would do such a big thing after locking them up in the palace.
I thought Su Ren would be affected by this incident, but what I got was the news that several major families were completely destroyed.
When everyone looked at Su Ren, who was standing at the edge of the arena among the one hundred trial-takers, their eyes changed.
Even a pig would understand that Su Ren was not here to participate in any trial. With the ability to kill top-level 9th-turn warriors at will, why would he need a trial?
These people are definitely hired by the authorities to deal with those aristocratic families.
But even if they understood it now, what would it matter? Would they tell those noble families about it? That would be courting death.
So everyone knew what happened last night and buried it in their hearts, pretending that they saw and heard nothing.
Moreover, the fall of the aristocratic family is actually a good thing for the leaders of these major forces.
No one will say anything more about this matter.
The only ones who are nervous now are the one hundred trial students, because they might face Su Ren.
Many people complained silently in their hearts.
"Why is Su Ren still participating? Wouldn't it be enough to just give him the first place award?"
"If I meet him, I'll beat him up, don't meet him, don't meet him!"
"If I meet him, what should I do to lose gracefully?"
Just as the students taking the trial were praying in their hearts, the match list had been projected above the arena.
Everyone looked at the match list nervously.
"Phew, luckily it wasn't Su Ren in the first round!"
Someone patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, some were happy and some were sad. One person's face turned pale and he rubbed his eyes again in disbelief.
The result remained the same, his opponent was Su Ren.
"It's over. How come I met him in the first round?"
"Haha, my condolences to this brother."
Someone next to him consoled him with a smile.
"Be quiet!"
Wang Changjun stepped onto the stage, looked around, and announced loudly:
"Next, I will announce the rules of this competition. Please remember them, students taking the trial."
"This competition does not restrict any means. The ring has protective measures. Everyone can attack at will. There will be no loss of life."
"The other party wins if they kill each other in the ring or if one party voluntarily withdraws from the ring."
"The elimination rules are 100 to 50, 50 to 25, 25 to 13. Those who are eliminated before 25 to 13 can advance to the top three through the loser bracket."
"Then the thirteen people in the winners' group and the top three in the losers' group will be divided into the top sixteen."
"The final sixteen players will be in a single-elimination format, so go ahead and give it your all!"
"Now, look carefully at the numbers in your match table. The two people whose numbers are read out please enter the ring within 30 seconds. If you fail to do so, you will be automatically judged as a loser."
After Wang Changjun finished speaking, he walked out of the ring, then glanced at the match table above the ring and said loudly:
"Now, please invite No. 1 opponents Su Ren and Zhao Huaikong to the stage!"
In the stands, Wu Zhengyang looked at the Longteng Guild President who was about the same age as him and gloated:
"Old Qi, Zhao Huaikong is from your guild, right? Your luck isn't very good, haha."
Qi Guozhong's face darkened when he heard this. He and Wu Zhengyang went to Donghai City together. If he had known earlier, he would have recruited Su Ren into his guild even if it cost a huge sum of money.
Now seeing Wu Zhengyang's face, he wanted to punch him.
"Old Qi, you're talking. Why are you turning your head away?"
"Can you see the ring like this?"
Listening to the incessant chattering beside his ear, Qi Guozhong clenched his fists and then unclenched them.
"Old Qi, can you hear me?"
"Wu Zhengyang, get out of here! Will you die if you don't speak?"
Qi Guozhong finally couldn't bear it anymore. This guy was going too far. He just relied on Su Ren's strength. He couldn't stand him anymore.
"Haha... ahem, okay, let's watch the game. Don't be angry. I think your kid still has a chance. There's still a loser group."
Wu Zhengyang stopped provoking him and focused on the arena.
At this time, Su Ren was already standing on the stage, but Zhao Huaikong did not go up.
"Zhao Huaikong, where are you? There are still 10 seconds left. If you don't come up, you will be considered to have forfeited!"
"I…I'm here."
Zhao Huaikong thought about it and decided to step onto the stage on his own initiative. He wasn’t going to die on the stage anyway, so he decided to give it a try.
