Two days passed by in a flash. Shen Yun just slept in for two more nights and realized that it was already the day for the re-election competition.
"Hey, I didn't sleep well so early in the morning, but I rushed to fight with someone. This kind of unfolding is really..." His head swayed as if hanging on his neck, and Shen Yun murmured dissatisfiedly with half-squinted eyes.
Yu Qianqian put on her simple and capable combat uniform again, and her long aqua hair was tied with a ribbon. It swayed gently with her peaceful steps. She was walking beside Shen Yun with a smile and whispered. He said: "Stop complaining. There will be an opening ceremony later. If you want, you can still get some sleep."
Shen Yun was overjoyed, but then hesitantly said: "It's good, but I'm not very good at sleeping standing up. I don't know if I can succeed...forget it, let's give it a try!"
Looking at Shen Yun speechlessly, Yu Qianqian didn't expect that this guy would actually take it seriously.
Except for the imperial guards who opened the way on the first day of the primary election, in the following days, students from the college entered the palace on their own with their student crystal cards. Therefore, Shen Yun and others got up early, hoping to arrive early to get familiar with each other. We got off the venue. Fortunately, the street was not crowded today. Soon Shen Yun and others walked onto the royal road dedicated to the palace and went straight to the martial arts arena.
As soon as he entered the venue, Shen Yun felt that it was very different from the preliminary round. The originally densely packed small venue had been consolidated and organized into 20 huge arenas, which stood in the empty martial arts arena supported by thick bases.
"The changes are quite big. The academy gave us two days of rest and the venue needs to be adjusted." Looking at the arena in front of him, Shen Yun suddenly felt a little excited.
Also, the previous venue where just two white lines were drawn was too rough. The arena has more atmosphere!
Shen Yun felt that the arena was good just because it looked good, so Yu Qianqian knew more about the "professional" content. Pointing to the arena not far away slightly, Yu Qianqian smiled and said: "Ayun, although part of this arena is for It satisfies the dignitaries who come to watch the battle, but it’s definitely not just for this fancy purpose.”
"The bottom of the 20 arenas are all engraved with defensive magic arrays to ensure that the aftermath of the battle will not affect the watching crowd. The power of this magic array is much stronger than the previous semi-finished products directly arranged with magic crystals. After all, it can Those who enter the semi-finals are all college elites, and the intensity of their battle is definitely not comparable to that of the previous preliminary rounds."
"Well, it is indeed necessary." Shen Yun nodded in agreement, and then asked doubtfully: "Then are there no protection measures for the students on the field? After all, swords have no eyes. If it is a very fierce battle, it will be very difficult to protect the students. It’s hard to say what kind of accident might happen.”
"At the bottom of the arena, there is also an element interference array, which can interfere with the movement of elements to a certain extent. Although it has no effect on high-level combatants, it is enough to control students below level 9. "Facing Chen Yun's question, Yu Qianqian explained, but then she felt a little sad: "Despite this, unexpected situations will inevitably occur in every rematch. After all, the magic circle can only interfere with the operation of elemental power, not stop it. If there is If a student uses martial arts or magic that is too strong, or even relies solely on the physical power of the weapon itself, it may cause irreparable consequences..."
"Have you ever died?" Shen Yun frowned, somewhat unable to accept the result of someone dying in such a competition.
Shaking his head slightly, Yu Qianqian's words made Shen Yun breathe a sigh of relief: "That's not true. At most, it's just a serious injury. He will recover after a while under the treatment of the academy's doctors. However, even if someone does die from this , I think they will not complain!"
Looking at Shen Yun's puzzled eyes, Yu Qianqian explained with a solemn expression: "It is indeed a pity to lose to your opponent in an upright battle and die due to an accident, but there is nothing to resent. This is for everyone. A consciousness that every warrior should have! What's more, this is a trial for the holy war. Although the security measures in the holy war will be stricter than in the academy, due to the persistence of students from different academies in honor, The casualties in the holy war are much higher than those in the academy. Therefore, if we cannot accept accidents in the academy, let alone the holy war."
"Is that so..." Scratching his chin, Chen Yun felt that he still couldn't accept this concept.
It’s just a competition, and it’s not about fighting on the front lines. Is it really necessary to be so passionate? Or, in other words, are there really people who would risk their lives for this so-called holy war?
Regardless of whether Shen Yunli understands it or not, the rematch will start as scheduled. When the sun stretches its body in the sky and shines with dazzling brilliance, the door of the Royal Martial Arts Arena slowly closes.
...We are fully booked today, please come early tomorrow.
Led by 16 seed contestants, a total of 64 selected contestants stood under the high platform to the east of the martial arts arena, waiting for the "opening ceremony" to begin. The facilities of the royal martial arts arena are very complete, perhaps to facilitate the frequent inspections of senior military officials. As a face-saving project, in addition to the 3-meter-high martial arts stage in the east, higher seats were also set up on the outside of the venue to replace the walls. This saved the academy the trouble of adding more seats for the nobles. .
"Tsk, tsk, there are ordinary stands and special boxes. This royal martial arts arena should be renamed the Royal Theater." Shen Yun was very disapproving of this. Is it necessary for a martial arts arena to have so many seats?
Hmm...could it be added on purpose because Blue Water Academy often holds competitions here?
"Silence!" A short man next to him was obviously very dissatisfied with Shen Yun's muttering at such a "serious" moment, and couldn't help but glared at him fiercely.
Shen Yun shrugged and didn't bother to pay attention to him. There are always some "good students" who think that listening to the leader's speech is a very sacred thing. By the way, why hasn't the leader come yet? He has been standing there for 10 minutes!
Perhaps they heard Shen Yun's thoughts. Under the leadership of Vice President Wulan, the group finally slowly appeared on the high platform.
"Today, we gather together..."
As usual, it was a nutritious pre-war mobilization. Old man Wu Lan spoke with great passion. The contestants below heard it with excitement, but Shen Yun only felt drowsy.
...Please, didn't I say this once before the last primary election? Andalus students, are you too excited?
After chattering for 20 minutes, Wulan smacked his lips with some unfinished content before planning to hand over the magic loudspeaker to the next person: "Next, I would like to ask Marquis Hughes from the Imperial Ministry to say a few words for everyone. !”
"Papa papa!" Seeing that it was Marquis Hughes who was in charge of the military headquarters, the students below him clapped their hands even harder. Apart from anything else, most of them would go to the front line in the future. Although Marquis Hughes himself could not go to the front line to command, Mobilize the army, but after all, the frontline army is theoretically under the jurisdiction of the military department, and the Marquis still has a huge influence on the frontline. Therefore, if you can get the favor of Marquis Hughes now, you will be prosperous!
"Marquis Hughes?" Shen Yun also came to his senses. Isn't this Sean's father? We should take a look!
Following Ulan's introduction, a figure who had been walking side by side with Ulan took two steps forward and took the magic loudspeaker handed over by Ulan. Looking at this slender figure, Shen Yun's brows were... Wrinkled slightly.
With his thin face, gentle face, gentle smile, and simple-patterned clothes, in general, Marquis Hughes is not at all the tall and thick military man that everyone imagines the military to be. Instead, he looks a bit like a well-educated middle-aged man. A young scholar, his eyes occasionally flashed a sharp glance as he glanced at the students in the audience.
It's not that Shen Yun had any ideas because of that glimmer of light. After all, Marquis Hughes was serving in the military department. He would be damned if he was really nice and friendly.
But, how can I put it, when Shen Yun saw the face of Marquis Hughes, he couldn't help but think of the "glasses man" who appeared to be gentle on the surface but secretly vicious in countless TV series on the earth. This is not to say that Shen Yunduo My ability to recognize people is really due to the influence of past TV series and the fact that Marquis Hughes looks so representative.
"Hey, if Bingcube knew that I thought of his father like this, I'm afraid he would want to challenge me to a duel." Looking at Marquis Hughes, who was encouraging the students on the stage with a loudspeaker in his hand, Shen Yun felt that the bloody TV series was very deceptive. .
Marquis Hughes obviously often gave speeches, and he no longer had the unstoppable performance of Old Man Ulan. He simply encouraged everyone and told everyone that the Emperor of the Empire would also be present during the finals, and then turned on the loudspeaker again. Returned to Ulan.
"Okay, then, the Blue Water Academy Holy War Selection Competition begins now!" Ulan took the loudspeaker and finally said what everyone in the audience wanted to hear most: "You have all obtained the competition groups before, now it's time to go to your respective Get off the stage and wait for the game to begin."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Marquis Hughes was speaking just now, he seemed to glance at Shen Yun intently, which really made him a little confused.
On the first day of the rematch, there were a total of 32 matches between the Mowu and Mowu series, divided into 16 matches in the morning and afternoon, and the remaining 4 arenas were reserved. Since it was only the first day, many nobles did not come to watch the match, only a few families in twos and threes. There are many people standing in the surrounding spectator seats. Perhaps it will take until the third round for the number of people to increase.
Shen Yun and Sean's matches were all in the morning, and only Defi's match was scheduled in the afternoon, so they couldn't cheer each other on. They just looked at each other and walked to their respective arenas.
Are you talking about Delphi? Do you need to ask which arena she will go to?
"No. 175, Wu Kong from the 7th grade stick class in the Martial Arts Department, versus No. 1414, Shen Yun, from the 8th grade sword class from the Martial Arts Department. Please come on stage."
"Wukong? No wonder he learned sticks~!" While Shen Yun was still studying whether this Wukong was related to the other Wukong, he found that the opponent on the stage looked familiar.
Damn it, isn't this the guy who just told me to stop talking under the high platform!
Wu Kong's body is very thin, just like a monkey. But when paired with the metal stick made of unknown materials in his hand, it is indescribably harmonious and natural, and it has its own power. As expected, monkeys and sticks are a perfect match.
?
"Are you two ready?" they asked around. After receiving a positive answer, the college teacher who was also a part-time referee waved his hand and said loudly:
