The matches continued one after another.
Although there was only one arena, every match was completed very quickly.
The time it took to burn half an incense stick to finish a cup of tea or even a quarter of an hour. Basically, there was a considerable gap in strength in the previous matches. Even if one fought stubbornly, they wouldn't be able to hold on. It was very rare for a lower level to defeat a higher level. Those who could make it into the top 100 were definitely strong!
However, there would naturally be exceptions.
After all, no one who could make it into the preliminaries was weak.
In the 35th and 57th matches, there were results of a lower level defeating a higher level. It was a huge upset.
And in the 66th match, it was even more shocking. The warrior with the number '935' was actually a First Order Star Sector-level strong warrior. He directly killed the opponent with the number '66' in less than three moves. The scene was extremely bloody and cruel. However, as the matches went on, the audience gradually got used to this level of battle.
Because it was more direct and exciting!
Many warriors also learned a lot from life and death battles.
"This is a signal." Lin Feng's eyes flashed.
"Subconsciously, it will affect the 'peaceful' warriors of the Nine States."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment. He didn't care.
To him, this kind of battle with no restrictions on life and death was very suitable.
Because he had been like this since he was young.
…
Time passed bit by bit.
Soon, the first round of the preliminaries at the 10th arena was 20% complete.
After officially entering the 100th match, the situation started to become more balanced. Most of the warriors ranked in the top 100 of each arena were strong, and those ranked after the 100th were basically similar in strength.
In general, those ranked at the front still had the advantage.
However, compared to the 90% winning rate before the 100th match, it had fallen below 80% and reached around 75%.
The strength of the warriors was getting closer and closer, and the audience's emotions were getting higher and higher. A match with a huge disparity in strength looked very comfortable and refreshing, but a match with a similar level of strength looked even more exciting and stirring, even to the point of …
Much more cruel.
Often, victory and defeat were decided in an instant.
And now, the betting became much more interesting.
The situation changed rapidly. One thought could go to heaven and hell. From time to time, many warriors could be seen waving their arms and sighing. Their eyes were filled with disappointment and even despair. The mentality of a gambler was undoubtedly revealed. As the emotions became more and more heated, the competition gradually reached the 120th match.
A match that should have been judged as a 'win'.
…
"Number 120, Xiao Yang Sword Sect, Ruyi District, Wu Kai!" The martial artist in charge of hosting shouted.
A handsome young man stepped into the arena with a smile on his face. His silver armor was obviously extraordinary. Although he was only a peak Star Lord, Wu Kai's equipment was obviously quite good. Astral armor, astral treasures, and the sword on his waist suggested that he was from a wealthy family.
He opened his arms and greeted the audience with a smile. Wu Kai's expression was very relaxed.
He drew a good lot.
His opponent was the 881th empty account of the Wizard of Oz.
Showing up was only a formality according to the rules. Soon, as the martial artist in charge shouted out a number but no one answered, the countdown began. Ten seconds later, according to the rules of the preliminaries, he would be able to win without a fight and easily advance to the second round.
"Number 881!" A loud shout rang out.
There was no introduction or name.
This was because the number 881 on the preliminary round's match-up list was empty.
The audience was also bored. According to the video system on the seats, the number 881 was empty. More importantly, Wu Kai's payout for this match was 1.000. In other words, there was no payout.
However …
The affairs of the world were always beyond one's expectations.
"Swoosh!" A black figure dashed out of the lounge at lightning speed.
All the participating cultivators were startled, looking at each other in dismay. The most shocked one was none other than Lin Fan! His chest heaved up and down as he looked outside the window. He had never thought that Lin Feng was not only a participant, but also —
Number 881!
His "possible" opponent in the next round!
"Huh? Is there anyone with number 881?"
"I don't know. Isn't that an empty account?"
"I've seen the list. Number 881 doesn't have a name. That's weird."
…
Everyone discussed animatedly, and all of them were puzzled.
In fact, Lin Feng's "name" was added at the last moment before the preliminary round began. It was normal that they didn't know. At this time, Lin Feng's appearance in the Gladiator Arena also shocked everyone. Not only the audience, but also Wu Kai and the martial artist in charge of the Gladiator Arena.
"Who are you? It's not your turn yet." Wu Kai frowned unhappily.
He was treating Lin Feng as a warrior who would be participating in the next competition.
"This …" The host walked over and was about to speak, but Lin Feng had already taken out the participant's "identity card". The black metal piece was shiny. It was as thin as a golden leaf. The number 881 was clearly visible.
And black was the color of the tenth arena!
Wu Kai opened his eyes wide and said angrily, "Impossible. This must be fake!"
Lin Feng smiled indifferently and handed the identity card to the host. The host was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
In that instant — —
"Whoosh!" A breeze blew past, and Lin Feng suddenly trembled.
His eyes flickered as he turned his head. It was Hua Yidao. Feeling his aura up close, he was even more intimidating. The saber at his waist had a strong domineering aura. It made people's hearts tremble. It was as if the surrounding area was under his control.
"So strong." Lin Feng's eyes sparkled.
"What's going on?" Hua Yidao asked slowly.
"It's like this, Senior Hua." The martial artist in charge quickly explained the situation. Hua Yidao took the ID card. An aura flashed, and the black metal card immediately made a clang. Hua Yidao's eyes burned. "The ID card is real."
"Little brother, you …" Hua Yidao turned his head and looked at Lin Feng.
"It's like this, Senior Hua." Lin Feng bowed slightly. "This junior just filled the slot this morning. Therefore, I didn't register."
Hua Yidao nodded. His eyes brightened. "You're also a survivor of the Immortal Track of Oz?"
"Yes," Lin Feng replied.
"Then why didn't you report it before?" Hua Yidao asked again.
"This junior just returned." Lin Feng smiled indifferently.
Hua Yidao was slightly startled. "You mean you just returned from the Immortal Track of Oz?"
Lin Feng nodded and didn't say much.
Wu Kai and the martialist in charge of hosting the event were stunned when they heard this answer.
"Nonsense!" Wu Kai said angrily. "The transportation channels of the Immortal Track of Oz were all destroyed. How could you return to Shiluo Commandery from the Boundless Ocean?" Hua Yidao looked at Lin Feng curiously. He wanted to know the answer.
But …
"I don't want to answer," Lin Feng said indifferently.
There was no need to answer such a personal question.
"You!!!" Wu Kai's face turned red. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Feng interrupted him. He looked at Hua Yidao and said slowly, "It's actually very simple. Senior Hua, you can contact the conference headquarters. I think there should be a record there."
Hua Yidao didn't ask any more questions. He immediately turned on his communicator.
Wu Kai looked at Lin Feng, but his heart was in a mess. This opponent who appeared out of nowhere made him feel very uneasy. He clenched his fists. Suddenly, he saw Lin Feng's martial suit, and his eyes lit up. "Right, he seemed to have 'just returned' … No wonder he doesn't even have a star armor."
"What do I have to be afraid of? We're both peak Cosmic Lords. I should have more advantages than him." Wu Kai's eyes brightened.
Looking at Lin Feng up and down, Wu Kai instantly regained his confidence.
The opponent in front of him, who looked like a martial artist in dire straits, was just so-so!
So be it. What's there to worry about?
…
In the audience stand.
"I got it. Look, I got it!!" a warrior suddenly shouted.
At this moment, Lin Feng's information had appeared on the video system in front of him, attracting everyone's attention. However, in an instant —
"Pfft!" The audience burst into laughter.
"One-star general of the qualifiers, 333000 of the preliminaries. How did this Lin Feng get into the preliminaries?"
"Are you stupid? The Wizard of Green Field Immortal didn't even reach the 1,000 qualifiers. As long as someone is still alive, they can enter the preliminaries."
"Damn, I thought this guy who suddenly appeared was very strong. It turns out he's just a lucky bastard!"
"Hurry up, the odds are up. Hurry up and place your bets!"
…
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples. The audience was soon in an uproar.
Even Wu Kai smiled. His hearing was naturally good. He could barely hear a lot of "information" if he focused. He was startled just now, thinking that some super strong person had appeared. He had forgotten that his opponent was only '881'.
Compared to him, this guy was far weaker!
"One-star general of the qualifiers, last place of the preliminaries …"
"Ha, so that's how it is!"
Wu Kai immediately relaxed. He raised his head with a hint of arrogance.
That's good. I'll just treat it as a warm-up for the second round of preliminaries. I'll get used to the new preliminaries rules first.
I'll play with this weak opponent!
At this moment —
"Pa!" Hua Yidao turned off his communicator and nodded to the warrior in charge of hosting, indicating that there was no mistake. Then, looking at Lin Feng, Hua Yidao's eyes were filled with curiosity and admiration. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "So you're Lin Feng?"
"Yes, senior," Lin Feng replied politely.
"Very good." Hua Yidao gave a rare smile and patted Lin Feng's shoulder.
He didn't say anything else and immediately left. However, this caused Wu Kai to be stunned. The surrounding audience was also puzzled.
What was the relationship between this Lin Feng and Hua Yidao?
Lin Feng smiled indifferently.
"Maybe 'Hua Wei' mentioned me before." Lin Feng pondered.
He had a brief contact with Hua Wei in the Wizard of Oz. Therefore, it was normal for him to mention him in front of his father.
At this moment —
"Number 881, Qianluo District's' Lin clan ', Lin Feng." A shout suddenly rang out.
This shout undoubtedly confirmed Lin Feng's identity as a participant. The surrounding audience instantly burst into thunderous cheers. Many gamblers were already very smart. They used this gap and the crowd's unfamiliarity with Lin Feng to place large amounts of chips on Wu Kai in a vain attempt to make a fortune.
"Thank you for your guidance." Lin Feng smiled and nodded.
"Okay." Wu Kai snorted.
"Separate!" A deep shout rang out again. Lin Feng and Wu Kai instantly jumped back and separated by a distance.
"The competition officially begins!"
…
(I wish everyone a happy New Year's Day in the new year of 2014. May everything go well!)
