The highly anticipated Demon Realm Martial Competition finally began as scheduled in the Bloody Empire's Iron Fist Estate.
Due to the large number of participants this time, it far exceeded the expectations. Therefore, before the official preliminaries, a large-scale screening match was needed to eliminate more than half of the players. At the same time, the results of the screening match would determine the grouping of the next round of preliminaries.
The method of the screening match was very special. It was to pass through the Land of Courage near the ancient battlefield. This was a special trial passed down by the Bloody Empire for generations. There were various tests, and the most powerful was the illusion inside. The weak or weak-willed practitioners would be trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves until they fainted. Some would even have their souls damaged.
When the participants signed up, they would get a number plate. In addition to drawing lots, this number plate had two functions. The first was to record time. The fastest group of people to pass the Land of Courage would be separated. In the next round of preliminaries, they would be in the same group as the slowest people to pass. This could prevent the elite powerhouses from meeting in advance and being eliminated. When it was close to the final time limit, the number plate would also issue a warning sound.
The second function was to "leave the battlefield". When the Land of Courage couldn't support it anymore, one could crush it and automatically teleport out. Of course, that also meant giving up the competition.
Chen Rui's number plate was No. 3, Raizen was No. 1, Catherine was No. 2, and King Octopus was No. 4. These 4 numbers were reserved and enjoyed the privilege of being exempted from the screening match.
As for the rest, they did not have such treatment. They had to participate in the screening match. Rolla's number was 9777, Olypheus's was 9778, Lomont's was 9779, Dodo's was 9780, and Paglio's was 9781. Five consecutive numbers.
Due to the number of people, the screening match was divided into several large groups. The prescribed time was 4 hours. Those who left early or failed to arrive at the prescribed time would be eliminated.
A strange scene appeared in the arena. The 6 newly built giant pillars in the 6 corners projected a huge hexagram. The image in the center of the hexagram was the exit of the Forest of Courage.
This was no longer an ordinary plane, but a three-dimensional image. It was somewhat similar to a holographic projection. With the large magic TV screens set up in various directions, the competition could be clearly watched from various angles.
This was definitely a surprise. Only the audience who arrived at the scene could enjoy this treatment. Those who watched in front of the magic TV would not have such an effect. Because the power of the battle was too strong, it was impossible to actually go to the Ancient Battlefield to watch the battle. However, in the center of the arena, they could see a realistic 3D projection, as if they were there. Moreover, the projection would definitely not affect the audience. The only drawback was that it could only affect the audience, and not project sound.
According to the advertisement in the magic TV, it was the latest research project of the Fallen Angel Empire, "3D Projection Movie", which was still in the debugging stage. This time, it happened to be running in the broadcast of the Fighting Competition.
At the exit of the Forest of Courage, several rays of light shot out, revealing the silhouettes of people. Immediately, staff members came forward to board the plane and record the number plates.
The big screen of the magic TV was also broadcasting the results and ranking of the first group at the fastest speed.
1. Westri 197 took 16 minutes.
2. Number 976 Sarandi took 20 minutes.
3. Stiller No. 1075 took 21 minutes;
4, 1305 Radast took 26 minutes.
5, No. 28 Gustav, took 28 minutes.
…
There were many well-known figures in the Demons on the list, and there were also many powerhouses who were not well-known or lived in seclusion. They were determined to amaze the world in this Fighting Competition of the Demon Realm.
Four hours had passed. The number plates of the contestants who were still in the Land of Courage were automatically shattered, and they were teleported back to the starting point. In this round, the first group had eliminated half of the contestants.
Rolla, Lomont, and others were in the third group. When the referee announced the start, Lomont rushed into the Land of Courage at full speed. The [Eye of Evil] that was integrated with the evil eye tyrant was fully opened. He ignored the invasion of the illusion along the way, and the speed of the flash was maximized. He shuttled forward as fast as lightning, bypassing the layers of traps. Not long after, he arrived at the exit.
"Ha! I'm number one! "
Lomont looked around and saw no one. He laughed and took out a bottle of the best yellow wine. When he was about to drink, his hand suddenly felt light, and the bottle flew out to a distant big tree. Under the big tree, a figure appeared out of thin air. It was Paglio.
"You're number one? Your left eye is blinded by a woman right? " Master Poison Dragon's hand shook, and the bottle cork flew out. He took a sip of wine happily, "Free wine is still the best …"
Before he swallowed this mouthful of wine, he suddenly spat it out. The wine turned into a flame, burning a big pit on the ground.
"Rolla!" Master Poison Dragon shouted angrily, "Didn't I deliberately use some poison in the forest before? I didn't stop you! "
Before he finished speaking, the bottle in his hand suddenly froze into ice. A certain lady didn't even bother to say "what".
(You actually dare to provoke me, hmph hmph!)
On the big screen, the results of the third group caused a sensation among the audience.
First place: No. 9777 Rolla, used 37 seconds.
Second place: No. 9781 Paglio, used 58 seconds.
Third place: No. 9779 Lomont, used 10 minutes.
Fourth place: No. 6720 Farmer, used 17 minutes.
Fifth place …
No. 9779 Lomont's 10 minutes was already the fastest among the top 3 groups, but he was only ranked third. No. 9777 Rolla and No. 9781 Paglio didn't even take 1 minute! The attentive audience also noticed that Rolla, Paglio, and Lomont's numbers were quite close. The screen showed that the 3 people seemed to be very familiar with each other. They should be old acquaintances.
Although the Forest of Courage's trial could not fully reflect the overall strength, and those with high spirit cultivation and fast speed had a relative advantage, this incredible result had far exceeded the scope of ordinary powerhouses. Counting the first powerhouse, Raizen, the second powerhouse, Catherine, and the mysterious Aguile, it could be foreseen that this competition would be unexpectedly exciting and intense.
Time passed by minute by minute. The group of relatives and friends, including Rolla, couldn't help but show surprise because the 4-hour deadline was approaching, and Olypheus and Dodo hadn't come out yet.
One of these 2 guys had S + strength, and the other was S + + who could break through to the Kingdom at any time. They actually stayed inside for so long. Worried that Isabella couldn't help but pull Chen Rui to the exit of the Land of Courage to wait.
Finally, before the final time limit arrived, the figures of the black dragon chick and the slime appeared at the entrance. Both the dragon and the slime had a dejected expression.
"So many treasures! It's fine as long as I don't wake up from this dream. " The black dragon chick said with a sad face, "I, I, and I were once the richest man in the Demon Realm!"
The slime nodded like a chicken pecking rice. Just now, Master Slime also had a craving in the illusion. It was also a dream of getting rich. If it weren't for the warning sound from the number plate, Master Slime really wanted to stay inside.
When he woke up from the dream, the tall, rich, and handsome guy became a loser again. How could the dragon (slime) not burst into tears? The 2 guys sighed as they walked. When they talked about the sad part, they almost hugged each other and cried.
"Boss … My spirit has suffered a huge blow. Can you give me 50 black crystal coins to soothe my injured heart?"
The slime also took the opportunity to point at his nose with a wronged expression.
Chen Rui, "…"
Not only Chen Rui, but all the group of relatives and friends were speechless facing these 2 weirdos.
What made the audience even more shocked was that Rolla's record was broken in the 4th group's elimination round.
No. 10501, Lalaria, took 8 seconds!
"I'm a man!"
When the mustache flat loli was interviewed by the Bloody Empire TV station, she only said such a sentence and left arrogantly. The screams of the 3 diehard fans sounded behind her, "Madam Lalaria is so handsome!"
The elimination round with no shortage of weirdos was over. The next round was the preliminary round, which was the real competition.
The rules of the preliminary round were very simple. 200 people were in a group, and the last one left on the battlefield would enter the next round!
Although the contestants could use the number tag to leave the battlefield and be judged as a loser, it took time to use the number tag. For some powerhouses, this short time was enough to be fatal. This kind of casualty rule had been publicly announced during the registration. All contestants participating in the fighting competition had the psychological awareness of killing or being killed.
The preliminary round was grouped according to the total results of the elimination round. For example, Lalaria, Rolla, Paglio and others were listed as seeded contestants, and they were separated far away. The seeded contestants were in the same group as the groups with the lower results in the previous elimination round. In this way, the elites could avoid meeting too early and reduce the excitement of the competition.
Raizen, Catherine, Chen Rui and Octopus King Red Pipit, who passed the elimination round directly before, were also listed as seeded contestants to participate in the preliminary round.
The preliminary round was held in various areas of the ancient battlefield at the same time. The magic TV at the scene would broadcast it on separate screens. As for the open space in the center, the broadcaster would choose the exciting competition for a three-dimensional live broadcast.
Since the Bloody Empire was the organizer, the projection live broadcast of the first round was given to the No. 1 area where Raizen was located.
The competition began, but the audience only saw Raizen standing alone in the area. There was actually no opponent around him. Obviously, no one in this group dared to challenge the famous top powerhouse, Raizen.
Raizen entered the next round directly without any effort.
The Dark Shadow Emperor, Catherine, in the No. 2 area was similar to Raizen. There should have been 200 opponents, but only 3 people went on stage. Catherine didn't do anything at all, and the 3 people fainted together.
After Raizen, Catherine became the second contestant to advance.
In contrast, there were much more people in the No. 3 area where Chen Rui was located. Although he had killed Ucarus in the alchemist contest and got Raizen's invitation, compared to Raizen and Catherine, people's understanding of "Aguile" was more about the identity of the alchemy grand master or Royal Highness Royal Highness.
Therefore, many people planned to try the strength of this grand master with a fluke mentality.
In this kind of group battle, if the difference in strength was not big, then tactics were particularly important. It was definitely not a wise move to exert too much strength at the beginning. Most people would tacitly choose to defeat the weak opponents first, then on the basis of self-protection, they would try to knock down the other strong opponents and strive to become the final winner.
Unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, tactics and wisdom were all floating clouds. Chen Rui just shook his cloak lightly, and everyone flew into the air involuntarily, then they fell down heavily one by one, unconscious.
In the No. 3 area, "Aguile" advanced easily.
