The competition for the top twelve players in the Qiwu Demon Fighting Conference has ended.
In addition to the lucky seed player Yi Yun, Tianfeng Academy also had four students participating in the competition. Among them, only one unfortunately failed, and three students were successfully promoted to the top twelve list. In other words, including Yi Yun,
Including Yun, Tianfeng Academy accounts for four of the top twelve spots on the list. This result can satisfy Mino.
In addition, including the one seeded player who received a bye, there should be 13 students selected into the top twelve of the conference. The draw rules for the next competitions remain unchanged, and the top six and top three will also be selected.
There will also be a seed quota for unconditional promotion.
The reason why there is such a regulation is originally the good intention of the conference. In addition to increasing the unpredictability of the competition, it also allows players to enjoy the fun of drawing lots and winning prizes. This arrangement can enhance the excitement of the conference, and even the audience will love it.
Taste.
However, in today's competition for the top twelve, to everyone's surprise, there was a match where both sides were seriously injured at the same time. Although they have been treated by the light mage, it will take at least one or two months of training before they can fully recover.
, so the winner of this game can no longer participate in the next competition, and the original thirteen candidates are suddenly reduced by one.
At this point, there are exactly twelve players qualified to participate in the next promotion tournament, and the good intentions of the seeding arrangement have come to an end.
"Boss, today's game was quite exciting, why did you say that?" Yi Yun asked.
Monroe said: "In today's twelve games, the strength of both sides is too clear. The result can be guessed at the beginning of the game. There is no suspense at all. It is really boring."
"Among them, even the match that was originally promising - the match between the Lanwell family and the Kemiti family, both sides were blood successor cultivators at the top of the six-star level. In the end, they only competed in a hurry for three rounds, and the Kemiti family
The member of the family named Kurt actually jumped out of the field and surrendered...
"Although his strength is obviously lower than Modo, he doesn't even have the courage to fight. He also lacks the most basic pride of a warrior. It's really disappointing. With his quality,
Can the Kemeti family be sent out to compete? It can be seen from this that this family is only at this level, and it is worthy of the name of the four major families in the empire."
In today's game, Kurt, the outstanding son of the Kemeti family, surrendered early, causing the originally most exciting game to end hastily. This move indeed caused an uproar in the audience, with constant boos and jeers, but for those in the VIP area who knew
For everyone who knows the situation, they only think that the decision made by the Kemiti family is a very wise thing.
Otherwise, it was because of the entanglement and opposition between the two families.
The four major families in the Qiwu Empire all have complicated intercourse with each other.
On the surface, they are maintaining a friendly exchange of interests, but privately, they are pulling each other's back. As long as they can suppress the power and prestige of the other family, it is equivalent to letting their own family stand in the political struggle of the empire.
occupies a better position.
To put it bluntly, it is the process of the various major families competing for power, among which the struggle between the Lanville family and the Kemiti family is the most intense.
Among the four major families, these two families are the closest in terms of political power and military power:
The Lanwell family controls the empire's western army. The patriarch is the first-class earl of the empire. They also have an elite Thunder Tiger Legion in their hands. There is also a legendary general named Bernardon, who is an eight-star high-ranking general and is in the army.
And it also controls about half of the mineral veins in the empire.
The Kemiti family controls the military power in the northern part of the empire. The family patriarch is the first-class earl of the empire. They have a team of elite troops called "Wind Shadow" in their hands. There is also an eight-star mid-level strongman in the family. In addition,
In addition, they are also one of the only two ancient weapon-refining families in the Qiwu Empire.
The power of the two families is so evenly distributed, but the Kemiti family is always weaker than the Lanville family in all aspects, whether it is the combat power of the army, political influence, or the strength of the strongest member of the family.
Therefore, the Lanville family is firmly seated as the first family in the empire, while the Kemiti family is second, sitting in the second family position, and the remaining Martin and Satsuma families are in the third and fourth positions.
.
In recent years, the struggle between Lanville of the first family and Kemiti of the second family has become increasingly fierce. The battle for military power, political wrestling, and the competition to recruit outstanding talents to strengthen the family are simply
It has reached the point where there is no dispute, and the fight has almost reached the stage. Several times, the royal family has to intervene to resolve the disputes.
And this situation is also what Emperor Qiwu Orba likes. Only when the families in power check and balance each other can the royal power be as stable as a mountain. As long as they are not allowed to launch a large-scale struggle that damages the country, he will open his eyes to other matters.
Just watch with one eye closed.
Of course, occasionally it is necessary to fan the flames and heat up the situation. The struggle and opposition between families can only be slowed down, not stopped. This is the power of the emperor, and Olba knows this well.
The two sides in today's game are both the most outstanding children in their respective families for decades. Both are expected to be promoted to seven-star, or even eight-star or above true powerhouses in the future. They can be said to be the top pillars of their families.
Talent, for both families, of course requires more careful care.
Modo's strength is obviously higher than that of Kurt. If he catches the opportunity, Modo may kill him. He doesn't have to kill the opponent, just cripple him. Both sides are in the same position.
Martial madmen in the six-star peak realm all hold a second-grade magic weapon in their hands. When the game enters the final moment of a war of attrition, the stronger side wants to cut off a hand or a foot of the opponent.
, is not too difficult to do.
Although this kind of behavior is cruel, it is carried out clearly under the rules of the competition, and no one has anything to say. The Qiwu Demon Fighting Conference is based on actual battlefield combat, and adheres to the iron law of the battlefield of the weak and the strong.
Although there are strong referees who will take action to stop excessively bad behavior, it is impossible to prevent it. There are always too many accidents in the competition, and no one can guarantee that the players can safely walk off the stage. On this point, all participating students must prepare before the competition begins.
All of them have signed a written statement of approval.
If this happens, the Kemiti family will lose one of the top experts they may have in the future, or even the next candidate for the family’s patriarch. They cannot afford such a loss, so this game
Only then would Kurt surrender early.
This decision was also deeply recognized by the other two major families, and it can be said to be a wise move, except of course the Lanville family.
In fact, Moxi has already informed Modo that at the right time, he will cut off one of the arms or legs of the rival family's next favorite candidate, unless Kurt becomes a useless person.
However, such a plan could no longer be carried out after the opponent surrendered. This opportunity to severely damage the opponent was lost. Moxi later sighed with regret.
Monroe didn't know the reason why he was dissatisfied with the hasty ending of the game.
In the evening, Anna and three other students who were confirmed to advance to the top twelve were sitting cross-legged and practicing to replenish the magic power of fighting spirit that was consumed during the competition. The defeated students did not dare to neglect it. They would have a series of competitions in the next two days.
The competition was about to take place, which was a ranking competition for the 25th to 13th place. I sat aside and practiced hard.
Yi Yun turned around and left, went to Mino's room as usual, and found that Vice President Goethe was also there.
Before he opened his mouth, Mino gave him a look, nodded and said, "Do you want to ask for leave? Go ahead! Just remember to come back before the game starts in two days."
The more he looked at this student, the more he fell in love with it, and the answers he made to his requests became more straightforward and straightforward.
After Yi Yun left, Goethe sighed and said, "Well, after every game, he comes to ask for leave... This has become a routine. Is this really good?"
"The next step is the challenge for the top six in the conference. Do you think he still has a chance to win the game?"
Goethe was stunned and shook his head without thinking: "It's impossible! Except for him, the players who reached the top twelve today are all at the peak six-star level. Not to mention they can reach the top six.
Even in the qualifying tournament from seventh to twelfth place after losing, he will definitely be at the bottom, there is no doubt about that!"
In the top 100 competition, Yi Yun was able to defeat Nu Ya, which was beyond the expectations of many people. His victory was not only not easy, but also involved a lot of luck. No matter how strong Nu Ya was, she was only close to
The opponents at the pinnacle level will never be able to match the strength of the true pinnacle. There is no doubt about Yi Yun's defeat in the next game.
With Nuya's strength, there are two reasons why she became the popular candidate for Qiwu Wangjia Academy to enter the top ten list before the game. The first is that he has sophisticated equipment that other players do not have.
The hard-to-find magic armor and the second-grade high-level thunder-type magic weapon bought from the magic weapon auction can greatly improve his own strength.
The second is to gamble.
I bet the opponents he encounters are high-level or have just reached the peak of strength. If this is true, then Nuya will have a great chance of entering the top ten of the conference.
Judging from the situation of the previous Magic Fighting Conference, although the probability is not high, there is still such a chance, about 30%, because the competition is based on a lottery system, and there is always an element of luck in it. This pair of the most powerful pair
There is no difference between the strong ones, but it has a big impact on the less powerful ones, like Kliman, who is the best example.
And like today, the top twelve players selected are almost all at their peak, which is rare in previous conferences. It can only be said that the quality of this Magic Fighting Conference is higher than the previous ones.
Nodding, Mino murmured to himself: "That should be it! Although he is still hiding some of his strength and hasn't shown it yet, facing an opponent who is two stars stronger than him, the result is
There is still nothing that can be changed..."
What Mino was talking about was the water magic that Yi Yun had never shown. Although he still had this hidden card that no one knew about, Mino judged that using the two magics at the same time would only make Yi Yun's strength worse.
If you move up another star level to a high level, you will be close to the peak of strength. Facing the other eleven players who have definitely reached the top level, there is no longer any suspense.
"Dean, what are you talking about? Yi Yun still has the strength to hide?" Goethe's ears are very good. He heard Mino's whisper just now clearly, and he said in surprise.
Waving his hand, Mino didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and said directly: "As you said, the next competition will be the end of Yi Yun. Since we all think that his defeat is certain, but you didn't find out
Are you here yet? He seems to have not given up on the next game and is still practicing hard."
"What?"
"Every time he goes out on leave and comes back two days later, I find that the content of magic power in his body, as well as the purity of the magic power refining, have improved a bit. The speed of this progress can only be described as unbelievable.
It is obvious that he took leave to go out, not to have fun as we thought, but to find a deserted place to continue practicing in the way he is accustomed to, otherwise there would never be such a change."
"Really?" Goth couldn't believe it. He was not like Mino, who always focused all his attention on Yi Yun. As the vice-dean, he was responsible for all the participating students.
He is also more willing to put more resources on Anna and other few of the strongest students who will definitely make the top ten list.
Naturally, he wouldn't pay too much attention to Yi Yun, who was ranked last in terms of strength. Although he already recognized Yi Yun's extraordinary talent, this conference was still too overwhelming for him at the moment...
Yi Yun's stage is not now, but should be in the Magic Fighting Conference ten years later. On this point, his opinion is completely consistent with Mino's before the start of the competition. Since this idea has been deeply rooted in Yi Yun's heart, for Yi Yun
Of course it was impossible for him to notice such a subtle change on his body.
Mino nodded affirmatively and said with a smile: "That's right! Although no one had any expectations for him, he never gave up on himself, whether before the game, during the game, or already.
Up to now in the top 12, he still maintains the purest mentality. I don’t know where his confidence comes from, and I don’t know where his goals are. But with this state of mind, even Dayou
Anna has never had the opportunity to break into the top five...
"Since he still has the heart to cultivate, of course I also have the hope of a good harvest!"
Tianfeng College rest area, in the reception hall.
"Brother, Yi Yun is in the room above, can't you let him come down to see me?" Luo Lei complained.
Shaking his head, Wei Duo smiled bitterly and said: "Little sister, I have told you many times that students who have not yet finished the competition are not allowed to go out at will. This is a strict order set by Dean Mino! Don't say it's you,
Even though I haven't been able to meet him yet, you've been coming here every day for the past few nights and you've always made the same requests. If you don't feel tired, I do."
"But, I haven't seen him for several years. I thought he was so close, so..."
"Anyway, the Demon Fighting Competition will be over within ten days, and it won't be too late for you to see him again then."
At this point, Wei Duo suddenly asked: "I have wanted to ask you for a long time. Not only do you want to see Yi Yun, but also your father. You have asked me to make arrangements for him several times. You want to meet him immediately after the game."
See you last time...
"It's rare to see my father look so anxious. Even if Yi Yun did stay at Donika College before, he was just a junior student there. How did he get involved with you guys?"
His father was a high-ranking city lord in Donika City, and Yi Yun was not very strong at that time. Victor couldn't figure out why Nice was so interested in Yi Yun.
Regarding Yi Yun, Nice never told Wei Duo clearly. Even Luo Lei knew little about it. She only knew that there seemed to be some kind of agreement and transaction between the two of them at that time, and it was always carried out secretly without telling her. As for the details,
Yes, she has no idea at all.
After being stunned for a while, Luo Lei's eyes were confused, and she recalled: "At that time, he was just a little kid in his teens, as if he had just walked out of the mountains. He was completely broke because he couldn't afford to apply for Donica College.
So, in the middle of the night, he sneaked into our house and committed theft, but I caught him with my own hands..."
"He stole something into our house? Stole it into the city lord's mansion?" Wei Duo's jaw almost dropped to the ground when he heard this, thinking that he heard wrongly, he exclaimed.
At this point, Luo Lei suddenly changed her face and looked like she was gritting her teeth: "That's not all. At that time, I was... He also... He actually..."
"Are you...? What did he do again??"
Clenching her fist and waving it, Luo Lei couldn't say any more: "No more! Brother, will you help me call down that little thief this time?"
"Little thief? What's the name? As I said, there's nothing you can do about it. If I call someone, I won't even be able to pass the teacher's test. Aren't you asking me to scold you?"
Helplessly, she glared at Victor and after thinking for a moment, Luo Lei said with a sweet smile: "Then... Brother, your little girlfriend named Nicole can do it, right? Can you let her come down and show me?"
"
"Nicole? What did you see her doing?" Victor was surprised.
... ...
In the dense forest, Yi Yun drew another magic circle in addition to the original magic circle. The power formed by the superposition of the two magic circles should be able to further enhance the spirit-binding effect of the heaven and earth elements.
.
Sitting in the center of the magic circle, he took out four elemental soul stones of about a hundred kilograms each and placed them beside him. Sure enough, the content of elements circulating in the magic circle was much higher than before. Just as he was about to start practicing, Munro suddenly asked
He said: "After watching today's top twelve competition, how much chance do you have of winning?"
Shaking his head, Yi Yun said: "Boss, I don't think about this problem anymore. I just focus on what I can do at the moment, and then try my best to do my best. I will seize any moment to practice, for
Yes, that’s also the reason.”
After pondering for a long time, Munro said: "Based on today's competition, your third brother Modo does have a strength close to the seven-star threshold. If no other accidents happen, he should be the first place in this competition.
Well... If you meet him as your opponent in the next game, what will happen to you?"
"have no idea."
Yi Yun answered without thinking, and answered so simply and concisely that Monroe was greatly puzzled.
"After watching today's game, I realized that everyone is better than me in terms of strength. It's like there are mountains standing in front of me. But, for some reason, I never felt that I would lose to them...
..Those people are either here for family interests or for their own interests. How can they hold the sword in their hands tightly when their eyes are blinded by the stinky interests?
"But I have a reason why I can't lose! Step by step, every step is difficult and dangerous. The blood in my body is burning. I have never been so confident as at this moment. No matter how high the mountain is, I will eventually be able to reach the top.
!”
Yi Yun looked up at the night sky. The silver moon above was bright and bright, and the stars were twinkling. The blood in his heart was surging.
Standing on the top of a mountain, and in a small world, there are countless powerful people in the mainland. The Qiwu Demon Fighting Conference is just a hill, and he wants to trample it under his feet.
