Volume 1: This is a world that speaks with weapons Chapter 57: Top Four Trials
Today is the Rookie Tournament quarterfinals to semifinals, and the intense schedule makes the audience seats seem even more crowded.
The first game officially starts at nine o'clock.
But before 8:30, the audience had basically entered and taken their seats, and began to cheer for their favorite players in advance.
Resting areas for the eight contestants and their teams were arranged around the central competition stage.
At the same time, like the rules of previous rookie games, the format of the semi-final qualifiers has been upgraded again compared to before.
First of all, the game allocation was adjusted to two games in the morning and two games in the afternoon, a total of four games.
Secondly, each match will last for five rounds, with each round including a rest period of approximately 20 minutes, thus ensuring that the players have sufficient physical strength to play a wonderful match in each round.
Finally, starting from this round of competition, we finally started to have hosts and warm-up staff on site to adjust the atmosphere as much as possible and enhance the audience's viewing experience.
There are 20 minutes left before the game starts.
At this time, the host's voice resounded throughout the venue with the diffusion of professional equipment.
"Good morning, audience and contestants!"
"Welcome to the semi-finals of the Great Xia Weaponry Professional League Rookie Grand Prix!"
"After several days of fierce competition, the competition has finally reached its climax. Today, we will select the four strongest newcomers of this year's rookie competition through duels!"
Qi Ji felt a little speechless as he listened to the broadcast that resounded throughout the venue. Will there be such a deafening commentary during the official competition?
Obviously, the organizers of the event do not consider the mood of the contestants. In comparison, the audience is more important.
The host's voice continues.
"First, let's take a look at the arrangements for today's four groups of matches. You can look at the big screen above the stadium."
"The random matching process for players will start next!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the big screen, and saw the names of eight contestants begin to scroll and flash rapidly. In less than ten seconds, the list of players for the event was locked and announced.
[First match: Bai Tianhe (none) VS Yan Qing (hidden front)]
[Second match: Hua Zhengbai (Sword Cultivator Association) VS Wang Yihang (Dragon Field)]
[The third match: Qi Ji (Cang Feng) VS Yin Lun (Sword Cultivation Association)]
[Fourth match: Qin Zijin (none) VS Pei Zhi (Wan Jian)]
boom!
As soon as the matching list appeared, there was an inevitable commotion on the field. The main reason was that the first game was Bai Tianhe against Cang Feng's Yan Qing, which was an unexpected match.
Of course, the event organizer will not give any explanation for this, and the host will continue to introduce it after the competition panel appears.
"Perhaps some viewers are not very familiar with the players who will be competing next, so let me introduce these eight players to you..."
They were all acquaintances, and Qi Ji was not interested in the part where the organizer introduced the contestants.
He focused his mind and concentrated on practicing the Meridian Nourishing Method. After practicing for two days, the method's ability to nourish the body gradually began to manifest.
The most obvious of these is his strength. After daily routine testing, it was found that his maximum strength had increased by about five kilograms in two days. Now the weight of his squat and deadlift can reach 249 kilograms.
In addition to his physical strength, he felt that his reaction time had improved a little, and mentally he felt very rounded, his mind was clear, and his thinking was becoming clearer.
At this rate of progress, it is estimated that within a few months, Qi Ji's physical fitness will be improved to the limit of a normal person through the meridian nourishing method, and then he will begin to gradually accumulate strength and slowly surpass the limit.
If he could reach a quality that surpassed the limits of ordinary people, and then after an increase of more than 100% in the degree of transcendence, Qi Ji's indicators in all aspects would truly reach an inhuman level of horror.
Maybe that would be the time for him to compete with the world's top martial arts masters.
After a while, Du Xishan led Yan Qing to the rest area where Qi Ji was.
Yan Qing walked forward, scratching his head, and looked at Qi Ji with a sad face: "Brother Qi, I'm going to lose this one!"
Qi Ji stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "Well, if you fight Bai Tianhe, you will definitely be doomed."
"Damn it!" Yan Qing originally thought that Qi Ji would say something nice to him, but he ended up confirming the fact that he couldn't beat Bai Tianhe so directly, and he instantly became autistic.
Du Xishan also had a bitter face: "What the hell is this organizer doing? Why don't they play by the rules and just arrange for Yan Qing to play against Bai Tianhe?"
Zhang Zizai seemed relatively calm: "This is nothing strange. I guess they saw that two of our Zangfeng teams made it to the semi-finals, so they wanted to balance it out and let other clubs get a share of the pie. This has happened before."
Then he added, "After all, the organizer is the Great Xia Weaponry Professional League, which includes our Cang Feng. This rookie competition is originally used to showcase the talented newcomers from each club. Although this year's competition is exciting, among the top eight players so far, there are actually people without clubs like Bai Tianhe and Qin Zijin, and their strength is also super strong, firmly occupying two places in the top four..."
Du Xishan also reacted: "So that's how it is. Two newcomers from the non-professional league have taken up the positions. It's impossible for the remaining two positions to be given to us, so Bai Tianhe was deliberately arranged to squeeze Yan Qing out..."
As he was talking, Du Xishan slapped his thigh and said, "So that's how it is. This is fucked up!"
Yan Qing understood his situation and was furious: "Why didn't the organizer just arrange Bai Tianhe to play against Qin Zijin, and then arrange Brother Qi to play against me, so that they can eliminate each other early!"
Qi Ji looked at Yan Qing with eyes that showed concern for a mentally retarded child, and couldn't help but laugh: "What would the audience come to see if that's the case? In the end, only Bai Tianhe or I will be left in the top four. Are the others weaklings?"
"Damn it, I'm so angry!" Yan Qing was still a teenager, how could he understand so many twists and turns? He was so angry.
Du Xishan slapped him on the back of his head: "Don't think too much, adjust your state, and go up later, play with style! Play at your level!"
Yan Qing touched the back of his head and couldn't help muttering: "Old Du, what you said sounds like the nonsense of an old leader of a state-owned enterprise..."
Du Xishan jumped up on the spot: "I fucking ..."
Yanqing ran away immediately.
The 20 minutes passed quickly, and as the host announced loudly on the radio, the first game was about to begin.
Qi Ji, Zhang Zizai, and Du Xishan came to the stage together and watched Yan Qing step onto the stage.
[First match: Bai Tianhe (none) VS Yan Qing (hidden front)]
Four large screens in the stadium jointly present information about both teams in the match.
The first round of the quarterfinals qualifiers has officially begun!
