There was still half a month before the grand event of the imperial capital began.
Long Yu called Hong Yue, Qiao Ziying, and Man Xin to the central hall of the Heavenly Mandate Manor. It seemed that they had something to discuss.
"The rules of the imperial capital grand event are out."
Long Yu said with a serious look, "This morning, Silver Fox King came to me and gave me this jade scroll."
"What are the rules? Are they good for us?"
Hong Yue asked nervously.
Ever since they left Heavenly Mandate Island and came to the Heavenly Mandate Manor of the North Snow Empire, Hong Yue seemed to have been reborn. For her, the Heavenly Mandate Manor was the fruit of her labor. She could not bear to see the manor being taken back by the North Snow Empire.
"Take a look for yourselves."
Long Yu handed the jade scroll to Hong Yue and let her read it first.
Actually, the theme of every grand meeting in the Imperial Capital would never change, and that was to compete in the Martial Arts Practice Field. The younger generation of over two hundred factions would compete to determine who would emerge victorious.
Although the specific rules were different every year, that was the general situation. This year was no exception.
Within the boundaries of the North Snow Empire, there were a total of 122 manors. There were 76 manors and forces in the capital, all of which were powerful forces of the North Snow Empire.
In addition to the 198 forces participating, there were also dozens of young people from the North Snow Empire and dozens of counties in the North Snow Empire.
These young people from the County King's Manors did not feel as pressured as those from the Heavenly Mandate Manor. Even if they lost, or even came last, there would be no shame, and no loss.
However, the young cultivators from the 58 counties were indeed an important part of this imperial capital grand event.
"The rules of this imperial capital grand event are that 256 teams will participate together. Each team is composed of young geniuses from various forces. Each team will send ten people to participate."
Hong Yue began to read the contents of the jade scroll, and her eyebrows gradually knitted together. "On the first day, we will draw lots. Two teams of ten will fight one after another. If all ten of them are defeated, they will lose. The ranking will be calculated according to the points …"
The calculation of the points was very simple. When the imperial capital grand event began, each force would send a representative to draw lots and choose to fight with a team of ten from another force.
If they won, they would get ten points.
If they were on the losing side, then the number of points they would be able to obtain by defeating a few people from the other side in this battle of attrition would determine how many points they could obtain.
This was the first round of the Grand Meet of the Imperial Capital, and it was likely that the weaker factions would be eliminated. The factions with fewer points would naturally be weaker.
After the first round, there would be no second round. Instead, there would be a battle that most people would like to see, which three manor forces would be at the bottom!
The manor forces with the fewest points would be eliminated. If they had the same number of points, then the rules of the first round would be followed, and the manor forces with the same number of points would have to compete again.
"In this round, the eight manors of the North Snow Empire forces with cultivators from the Secret Realms of the Yue Empire are all eliminated. If there is a battle force with the four manors, the four Snow Prefecture Manors, they are, the same, the first, will.
"In the first round of drawing lots, the eight manors of the North Snow Empire and the four manors of the North Snow Empire with cultivators from the Secret Realms of the North Snow Empire are all excluded. That is to say, we will at most meet seven Divine Realms opponents."
Hong Yue raised her head with a happy expression. She looked at Long Yu and said, "Manor Master Long, in this case, it is very likely that we will not be at the bottom!"
She knew Long Yu's real strength. Even the three subordinates of the Soaring Fog Manor with five Divine Realms were defeated by Long Yu alone. This showed how strong Long Yu was.
Not to mention now, she could clearly feel that Long Yu's strength had become stronger than before. He must have a great chance of winning against seven Divine Realms opponents.
"It's hard to say. Let's see who the opponent is."
Long Yu shook his head. He did not dare to guarantee anything. Even if it was not difficult for him to deal with seven Divine Realms opponents, who knew what kind of monstrous geniuses existed in the circle of the North Snow Empire?
After all, Long Yu was only in the Three Divine Realms. Compared to the cultivators in the Seven Divine Realms, his basic strength was dozens of times weaker. Even if he could defeat his opponent, it would be very difficult.
Moreover, the people who would appear in the grand event of the Imperial Capital were all young geniuses. There was no doubt that most of them had comprehended the complete Engravings of the Divine Glyphs!
This was a situation that did not exist in the battles that Long Yu had faced before. Every opponent would be very strong. If he was not careful, he could be defeated by his opponent.
Long Yu planned to be the first to fight. Once he was defeated, only Qiao Ziying would be able to hold the fort. The other people of the Heavenly Mandate Manor, such as Man Xin, Ye Lun, and Fengyu Xin, could not deal with opponents that were too strong for the time being.
Man Xin might be a little stronger, but it was already the limit for him to deal with five Divine Realms cultivators.
Therefore, Long Yu was bound to win!
If the opponent was stronger, Long Yu could still choose to fight steadily and let Qiao Ziying fight first to exhaust his opponent's energy. Of course, the exact situation would depend on the opponent that they would draw.
Since it was a battle of attrition, they had to make good use of the advantage of the rules. When facing a strong opponent that they could not defeat, they could choose to exhaust their opponent first.
This was the flexibility of the rules of the grand event of the Imperial Capital. It was already relatively fair to use the rules to determine the top three manors.
"Let's talk about the next battle in detail."
Long Yu pulled everyone back from their thoughts.
The ranking of the entire grand event of the Imperial Capital was determined by points. In the first round, half of the teams from the forces would be able to get ten points. Therefore, the real gap between them would be in the second round.
The rules of the second round would be a mixed battle of 16 people.
Each of the 256 forces would send one young cultivator. There would be a total of 256 people. They would draw lots and be divided into groups of 16. In total, there would be 16 groups, and 16 mixed battles would take place.
In this mixed battle, the young cultivators from the King's Path Secret Lands would also participate in the draw. That was to say, in the second round, it was very likely that they would meet the strong cultivators from the King's Path Secret Lands!
In the 16-man battle royale, the last person standing would get 16 points, the second to last person would get 14 points, and so on and so forth. The first eight people would get points, and the first eight people to be eliminated would not get any points.
After the mixed battle of the second round, the gap between the forces was not small. The third round would be the most influential round in the entire Imperial Capital Grand Event.
This third round was also the main point that Long Yu wanted to discuss with Hong Yue.
"The rules of the third round are that each force will send three people to form a team. They will draw lots three times and fight against the teams of three from other forces. There will be a total of three battles."
Hong Yue continued, "The three battles of the teams of three will be against different opponents. The winner will get ten points, and the loser will get no points. The most important thing in this round is that the strongest young cultivator of each force is not allowed to participate in the battle. "
After saying that, Hong Yue raised her head and looked at Long Yu with some doubt in her eyes.
Long Yu knew what she meant.
"Ahem, according to what I think, the strongest young cultivator should be calculated according to the Martial Dao Realm."
Long Yu coughed and said according to what he understood, "In other words, Miss Qiao Ziying can't participate in the three battles of the third round."
As long as Long Yu was not allowed to participate in the battle, the situation was not bad. Although Long Yu's Martial Dao Realm was relatively low, his comprehensive strength surpassed Qiao Ziying's, and even reached the level of the Seven Dao Divinity Realm.
This third round was very important. In the first two rounds, each force could only get 26 points at most, but in this third round, if they won all three battles, they could get 30 points!
Although there was still a fourth and fifth round, after the first three rounds, the final result could basically be seen.
If they did not perform well in the first three rounds, it was basically impossible to catch up in the next two rounds.
Therefore, in this third round, Long Yu had to plan carefully.
"If Qiao Ziying can't participate in the battle, there are not many people in our Heavenly Mandate Manor who can participate in the battle," Hong Yue said in a low voice.
"The Big Barbarian is one. He should be able to step into the Two Dao Divinity Realm before the imperial capital grand event begins. As for his real combat strength, it should be around the Five Dao Divinity Realm."
The "Great Barbarian" she spoke of was naturally Man Xin.
Man Xin stood aside and agreed with her. "My Seven Devilish Blades have become a mid-level magic power, and I have comprehended 50% of the Divine Rune of Demon. My strength is much stronger than three months ago."
Long Yu knew about Man Xin's situation.
The Divine Rune of Demon was the complete power of the Divine Rune that he had comprehended from the ruins of the Windstorm Demonic Blade. After comprehending 50% of it, he had definitely far surpassed martial arts cultivators of the same level. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had reached the level of the Five Dao Divinity Realm.
As for the Devil Extinguishing Seven Blades, it was only natural for him to comprehend a mid-grade sacred art. Man Xin's Heavenly Tribulation wasn't bad. Although the sacred art seed in his dantian couldn't compare to Long Yu's Death God Sacred Art Seed, it was still enough for him to comprehend a sacred art at the 2nd Heavenly Layer.
With a little effort, he could make the innate magic power become a mid-level magic power.
"I think so too."
Long Yu nodded and glanced at the three people in the field. "However, apart from the Barbarian, we still need one more person to form a team of three. Who do you think is better?"
His question was mainly directed at Hong Yue and Man Xin. Qiao Ziying was not familiar with the people of the Heavenly Mandate Manor, so she would not express any opinion.
Both of them were stumped by Long Yu's question.
In the Heavenly Mandate Manor, apart from Long Yu, Qiao Ziying, and Man Xin, who else was strong enough?
Not a single one!
…
The rules of the grand gathering in the imperial capital had spread throughout the entire North Snow Empire in a short amount of time. The young experts who had set off from the faraway Regional King's mansions had already arrived at the North Snow Empire one after another, finding a place to stay.
In a short time, the number of martial arts cultivators in the entire North Snow Empire soared, and it was easier to see young cultivators than usual.
The grand event of the North Snow Empire was a grand event for the young generation of martial arts cultivators in the entire North Snow Empire. Even some martial arts cultivators in the Jianghu would travel thousands of miles to watch!
Many places in the North Snow Empire had already started gambling, mainly to bet on which three manor forces would be at the bottom and be eliminated in this grand event.
