Since dawn, a huge flow of people from all directions in Luoyang has been gathering towards the Imperial Arena.
By the time Chen Shi arrived, no less than half a million spectators had already flooded into the fighting arena.
The fighting arena has a long history in Luoyang and even the empire, and has always been the highest stage for monks to fight!
Today is the competition for marriage among the royal families of China. Not only did half a million spectators come to watch the battle, but countless water mirror stones were erected outside the venue, in the imperial capital and even in major cities across Kyushu.
A conference attracted the attention of the whole world.
The conference is divided into five major competition areas. Because thousands of people fight in a melee, there is only one game in the fighting arena for half a day.
It was the first competition area in the morning. At this moment, the huge ring-shaped auditorium around the arena was already full of seats, and the number of people so densely packed was innumerable.
Emperor Yanghong of the empire and a group of ministers came to the scene in person, and the royal dragon flag was flying on the VIP table.
On the VIP table, three beautiful figures stood out, attracting the attention of almost the entire audience.
They were three beautiful and fragrant women. The middle one was Princess Lanchu, the real host of this competition. She was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, like a fairy descending from the Nine Heavens. She made people feel ashamed at just one glance and could not bear the slightest blasphemy.
Heart.
Beside her on both sides, on the left side is a girl of similar age to her, with icy muscles and jade bones, and good looks, but unfortunately her temperament is a little colder.
The woman on her right was obviously older than the other two, but she was also a rare fresh beauty with bright eyes and white teeth.
Such three top beauties sat together, and they were so gorgeous that the hundreds of thousands of female spectators in the venue were eclipsed.
Seeing three such beauties, the contestants who entered the fighting arena one after another seemed to have been pumped with blood, their fighting spirit was high, and they couldn't wait to perform well in front of the beauties.
"Why are Mu Ziyu and Ye Qingshuang here?"
In the crowded ordinary auditorium, Gu Chen saw the three women from a distance, with a little surprise on his face.
His match was in the afternoon, but he came over in the morning to see what level his opponents were.
The show hadn't started yet, but one after another he saw many familiar faces in the VIP seats, ordinary audience seats, and even in the fighting arena.
Qi Zeyan, Chen Buqi, Li Wanjun...
Many students from Zhenwu Academy and Miao Law School came, which made Gu Chen feel funny.
I had just left Zhenwu Academy not long ago. I thought it would be difficult to see these people again, but I didn't expect to meet them again in the imperial capital.
"Fellow Taoists from all over the world! Welcome to the Imperial Arena!"
A loud voice suddenly sounded, spreading throughout the whole place, attracting Gu Chen.
The voice came from a high platform at the edge of the fighting arena. A rough man wearing a grand red robe was excited and excited.
His voice seemed to have a special magic power. As soon as he opened his mouth, the audience of 500,000 people in the audience burst into excitement!
That was Pu Songling, the emcee of the Imperial Arena, who was responsible for introducing every match that took place here.
Competitions in the Imperial Arena have always been broadcast in real time through Shuijingshi and broadcast simultaneously across Kyushu. However, due to screen limitations, audiences in many places were unable to see the entire competition clearly.
As a result, the role of master of ceremonies in the fighting arena came into being. They specialize in introducing competitions. They usually have extremely high vision and rich experience. They can explain every detail of the fighting between masters clearly, making the audience excited.
This Pu Songling is the top master of ceremonies in the Imperial Arena, and has a very high reputation among the people throughout the Empire who are keen on competing in the Arena.
At this time, he opened the ceremony and announced the formal start of the martial arts competition, which immediately attracted overwhelming cheers!
Amid the cheers of the audience, thousands of contestants from the first competition area entered from the four entrances of the fighting arena!
"Today's battle is full of masters!"
"A total of 1,200 contestants gathered in the first division, and I believe everyone has heard of some of their names!"
"Sun Jinming, the demon king from Nanling, has the blood of the holy ape. He just entered the Nine Provinces Ranking last year and has been making great progress. Now he is ranked twenty-fifth on the list!"
"Yue Ping, the youngest commander of the Imperial Tianjing Mansion, has been a famous king for many years. He is brave and good at fighting. He is now the eleventh on the Nine Provinces Ranking!"
"According to the off-site betting, these two are the most popular winners in the first division. However, there are thousands of young talents from all over Kyushu on the court, and they will never be allowed to win easily!"
Pu Siyi's high-pitched voice echoed inside and outside the fighting arena. He introduced the most famous contestants one by one and even teased them with a few words, which made the audience's expectations for this conference even higher.
"The Demon King is just here to join in the fun, but I didn't expect that he actually has opponents, people from the Tianjing Mansion, coming to escort Huangfu Qingming?"
Gu Chen looked at the thousands of contestants in the fighting arena, his purple pupils flickering, and he roughly judged the strongest people in the arena.
The level of the emcee is indeed extremely high. According to normal circumstances, the winner of the first division must be born between these two people.
Gu Chen focused on the two of them, and the game started soon.
Unexpectedly, an unexpected scene appeared at the beginning!
A large number of contestants gathered around the Demon King and Tian Jing Mansion Yue Ping, all showing hostility towards them!
Under the pressure of two strong men at the top of the Kyushu Ranking, thousands of contestants tacitly chose to share the same hatred and want to kill the strongest one first!
This is the biggest drawback of melee fighting. There are no rules and fairness. No matter how strong you are, you may lose if you are targeted!
"Set up the formation!"
Yue Ping of Tianjing Mansion was surrounded and immediately shouted loudly. Dozens of contestants rushed out and quickly came to his surroundings, forming a horned force with him!
Those are the best among the younger generation of Tianjing Mansion. Tianjing Mansion is obviously well prepared and wants to send its own people to the finals.
Demon King Sun Jinming was not so lucky. He came here alone and was immediately surrounded.
"Humph, a bunch of rabble!"
The demon king showed no fear, threw out a spear, and charged forward.
The ensuing melee can be said to be fierce and bloody. The demon king fought his way in and out among a large number of opponents, and was covered in blood.
On the other hand, although the men and horses of Tianjing Mansion were also under great pressure, they were much more relaxed than him.
Nearly two hours passed before this tragic melee came to an end.
The only ones left in the audience were Sun Jinming and Yue Ping. Sun Jinming was already bruised and out of breath, while Yue Ping was not much better.
The entire audience couldn't help but hold their breath. Both of them were close to running out of gas, and they were afraid that the winner would be decided within the next three moves.
