Chapter 320: The Assembly Begins
September 15th.
Since dawn, from all directions of Luoyang, a huge flow of people has been gathering towards the Imperial Fighting Arena.
By the time the hour came, no less than half a million spectators had poured into the arena.
The martial arts arena has a long history in Luoyang and even the empire, and it has always been the highest stage for monks to fight!
Today is the competition of the royal family of Middle-earth, not only 500,000 spectators came to watch the battle in person, but outside the venue, in the imperial capital and even in the major cities of Kyushu, countless water mirror stones were erected.
A conference that attracted the attention of the whole world.
The conference is divided into five major regions, because of the method of 1,000 people, there is only one game in the martial arts arena for half a day.
In the morning, it was the first competition area, and at this moment, around the ring, the huge circular audience seat was already full, and the number of dense heads was too many to count.
Emperor Yanghong of the empire and a number of ministers were present at the scene, and the dragon flag of the royal family fluttered on the VIP seats.
On the VIP seat, there are three beautiful shadows that are particularly conspicuous, which almost attracted the attention of the audience.
It was three women with a national color and a fragrance of nature, and in the center was the princess Lanchu, the main owner of the competition, she was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, like a nine-day fairy descending to earth, making people ashamed of themselves at a glance, and they couldn't afford to blaspheme at all.
On both sides of her, on the left is a girl of her age, with ice muscles and jade bones, and her posture is also excellent, but unfortunately her temperament is indifferent.
And the woman on her right is obviously older than the other two, but she is also a fresh beauty with bright eyes and bright teeth, which is rare to see.
Such three top beauties sat together, with gorgeous crowns, and the hundreds of thousands of female viewers in the audience were overshadowed.
Looking at the three such beauties, the contestants who entered the arena one after another were like chicken blood, and their fighting spirit was high, and they couldn't wait to perform well in front of the beauties.
"Why did Mu Ziyu and Ye Qingshuang come?"
In the crowded ordinary audience, Gu Chen saw the three girls from a distance, and his face showed a little surprise.
He competed in the afternoon, but he came in the morning to see what his opponents were.
At this time, before the show opened, he saw many familiar faces in the VIP seats, ordinary audience seats, and even the martial arts arena one after another.
Qi Zeyan, Chen Buqi, Li Wanjun......
There were quite a few students from the True Martial Academy and the Miao Law Academy, which made Gu Chen feel amused.
It hadn't been long since he left the True Martial Academy, and he thought it would be difficult to see these people again, but he didn't expect to meet again in the imperial capital.
"Fellow Daoists from all over the world, welcome to the Imperial Martial Arts Arena!"
A loud voice suddenly sounded, spreading throughout the audience, attracting Gu Chen to the past.
The voice came from a high platform on the edge of the arena, a rough man dressed in a grand red robe, excited and excited.
His voice seemed to have a special magic, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the audience of 500,000 people in the audience was boiling!
It was Pu Songling, the master of ceremonies of the Imperial Martial Arts Arena, who was responsible for introducing every game that took place here.
Matches in the Imperial Arena have always been broadcast simultaneously in various parts of Kyushu through real-time imaging of the Water Mirror Stone, but due to the limited graphics, spectators in many places cannot see the entire match.
So the role of the master of ceremonies in the martial arts arena came into being, they specialize in introducing the game, usually have a very high vision and rich experience, and every detail of the fighting method between the masters can be explained clearly, so that the audience's blood boils.
This Pu Songling is the top master of ceremonies in the Imperial Martial Arts Arena, and has a very high reputation among the people who are keen on martial arts competition in the entire Empire.
At this time, he opened the ceremony and announced the official start of the martial arts competition, which immediately attracted an overwhelming number of cheers!
In the cheers of the audience, thousands of contestants in the first division stepped in from the four entrances of the martial arts arena!
"Today's battle, the masters are like clouds!"
"There are 1,200 contestants in the first division, and some of them have already heard of their names!"
"Sun Jinming, the demon king from Nanling, has the blood of a holy ape, and just stepped into the Kyushu Billboard last year, he has been soaring all the way, and now he is the twenty-fifth on the list!"
"Yue Ping, the youngest commander of the Imperial Heavenly Mirror Mansion, has been a famous king for many years, brave and good at fighting, and now he is the eleventh on the Kyushu Billboard!"
"According to the off-court gambling game, these two are the most popular winners in the first division, but there are thousands of young talents from all over Kyushu on the field, and they will definitely not be allowed to win easily!"
Master Pu's high-pitched voice echoed inside and outside the martial arts arena, introducing the most famous contestants one by one, and even more simple flirting in a few words, which made the audience's expectations for this conference higher.
"It's just that the demon king came to join in the fun, I didn't expect him to have an opponent, the people of Tianjing Mansion, to escort Huangfu Qingming?"
Gu Chen looked at the thousands of contestants in the martial arts arena, and his purple pupils flickered, and he roughly judged the strongest people in the audience.
The master of ceremonies is indeed extremely high, and according to normal circumstances, the winner of the first division must be born between these two.
Gu Chen focused on the two, and the game started soon.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning, an unexpected scene appeared!
Around the Demon King and Yue Ping of the Heavenly Mirror Mansion, a large number of contestants gathered over, and they all showed hostility towards them!
Under the pressure brought by the two strong men at the top of the Kyushu Billboard, thousands of contestants tacitly chose to share the same hatred and want to kill the strongest person first!
This is the biggest drawback of the melee, there are no rules and fairness at all, no matter how strong it is, it is possible to lose if you are targeted!
"Array!"
Yue Ping of the Heavenly Mirror Mansion was surrounded, and immediately shouted, only to see that dozens of people rushed out of the contestants, quickly came to his surroundings, and formed a horn with him!
Those are the best of the younger generation of Tianjing Mansion, and Tianjing Mansion is obviously prepared and wants to send their own people to the finals.
The demon king Sun Jinming was not so lucky, he came here alone and immediately fell into the encirclement.
"Hmph, a rabble!"
The demon king was fearless, sacrificed a spear, and rushed forward.
The ensuing melee can be described as fierce and bloody, with the demon king fighting in and out of a large number of opponents, covered in blood.
On the other hand, although the people of the Heavenly Mirror Mansion were also under great pressure, they were much easier than him.
Nearly two hours passed, and this tragic melee came to an end.
The only ones left in the audience were Sun Jinming and Yue Ping, Sun Jinming was already covered in bruises and panting, and Yue Ping was no better.
The audience couldn't help but hold their breath, both of them were close to running out of oil, and I was afraid that within the next three moves, the winner would be decided.
