Seeing someone being thrown out, Xia Pingan was also taken aback.
In four years, how many unfamiliar faces would a person see? That man had only seen someone once four years ago, yet he still remembered that person today. His memory was too terrifying. It was as if he had awakened some kind of ability to recognize others.
Soon, it was Xia Pingan's turn. Xia Pingan received a number plate. Qu Youqian, who was behind Xia Pingan, also received a number plate.
Xia Pingan found that the numbers of the number plates were random, not given out in order. The front of the number plate he received read 68, while Qu Youqian, who was behind him, received 113.
In less than a few minutes, everyone received a number plate.
There were a total of 326 people participating in the selection today.
"Those who have received a number plate, you can follow me in!" The arrogant-looking young man in his twenties said to everyone, and then led the 326 people into the camp of the Judgment Army from the side door.
After entering the camp, there was a wide road, and both sides of the road were filled with pine and cypress trees. After entering, less than 100 meters away, there was a huge drill ground.
There were hundreds of numbered squares on the drill ground, and each square was more than 30 square meters, the size of a ring.
"Well, everyone, look at the number plate in your hands, and enter the ring according to the number on the number plate …" the arrogant-looking young man in his twenties said loudly.
Everyone then entered their respective squares in the arena.
"Now, those who have an even number plate can enter the odd ring that is one place smaller than your number. Those who have the number plate in the second ring can enter the number plate in the first ring, and those who have the number plate in the third ring can enter the number plate in the second ring …"
Xia Pingan walked to the 67th ring, where a strong summoner in his thirties was staring at Xia Pingan with a dignified face and taking a deep breath.
Xia Pingan had already guessed what was going to happen next.
As long as there was nothing wrong with their brains, they could guess what was going to happen next.
"The first stage of the Judgment Army selection is to test everyone's hand-to-hand combat ability. The fighting field will be in the arena. If you are knocked down and can't get up again, you will be knocked out of the yellow line area of the arena, or step outside the yellow line area, or take the initiative to admit defeat, you will be eliminated. If two people fall out of the arena at the same time, both of them will be eliminated at the same time. If both parties are still in the arena at the end of the match, both of them will be eliminated at the same time. In the end, if both parties are unable to stand up on their own, they will also be eliminated. No weapons, hidden weapons, poisons, summoning spells, or special awakening abilities can be used in hand-to-hand combat. Once discovered, you will be eliminated.
The young man in his twenties said so that everyone could hear him. "We can start now …"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people on the stage began to move.
Among the 163 arenas in the arena, there were some Summoners who caught their opponents off guard and attacked swiftly. Almost at the beginning of the match, they blasted the Summoners who were in the same arena out of their arenas without saying a word, instantly obtaining victory.
Many of the Summoners in the ring started to fight, and it was abnormally intense.
Xia Pingan was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he clasped his fist to the summoner in front of him and said apologetically, "Brother, I'm sorry to offend you!"
The summoner was not in a hurry to rush over. He also clasped his fist to Xia Pingan and said, "I'm sorry to offend you today. Everyone wants to enter the Judgment Army. Let's rely on our own abilities!"
"Please!"
"Please!"
Xia Pingan did not know the details of the other party, so he did not dare to be careless. He immediately got into a fighting stance, and the person on the opposite side did the same.
Both sides turned half a circle in the arena. The person on the opposite side roared and suddenly rushed toward Xia Pingan, punching him fiercely in the chest.
Xia Pingan did not back down. He directly used one of the Seven Styles of the Fierce Tiger, Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain. He used his fist as a knife and punched back.
Xia Pingan punched out. In the wind of his fist, there was a tiger's roar, which immediately attracted the attention of the audience outside the arena.
The two fists collided without any fancy moves. Xia Pingan's figure did not move, but the person's figure stepped back three steps in a row, and his face changed slightly.
After the collision of fists, Xia Pingan already had a plan in his heart. The person on the opposite side, although not weak, was not his opponent. Whether it was speed, strength, reaction, or moves, they were all inferior to him.
The person seemed to feel this, but he did not give up. Instead, he fought even harder. He roared and rushed over again.
After exchanging more than ten moves with the person, Xia Pingan looked like a tiger watching its prey. In the dazzling shadows of fists and palms, his palms fell on the person's chest, and the person was directly knocked out of the 67 arena.
After the person was knocked out of the arena, his body was only shaken, and his Qi and blood were not flowing smoothly. He also knew that Xia Pingan was merciful. Just now, he did not have time to defend. If Xia Pingan raised his palms a few more times, he could have taken his throat.
The person was convinced of his loss. He saluted Xia Pingan with his fists and walked away.
On the 67 arena, there was only Xia Pingan alone.
The winners and losers in the other arenas were also decided one after another.
Xia Pingan looked at the 113 arena and saw Qu Youqian's agile body moving around the arena. The person who was fighting with him was confused and disoriented. Not long after, the person who was fighting with Qu Youqian saw that there was no winner and was a little anxious. Qu Youqian skillfully grabbed his hand and threw him out of the arena. Qu Youqian won.
In less than ten minutes, the winners and losers in all the arenas were decided. In the blink of an eye, half of the 326 people who came in together were eliminated.
Many of the arenas were covered in blood.
Those who were eliminated were directly taken away and left the Judgment Army's camp. Those who were injured were directly carried down. After one round of competition, many people had broken arms and legs. In the end, only 163 people were left in their respective arenas.
The atmosphere in the arena was tense.
"Now, the winner of Arena No. 3 will enter Arena No. 1, the winner of Arena No. 7 will enter Arena No. 5, the winner of Arena No. 11 will enter Arena No. 9, and so on … The winner of Arena No. 3 will enter Arena No. 1, the winner of Arena No. 7 will enter Arena No. 5, the winner of Arena No. 11 will enter Arena No. 9, and so on …
The people in the arenas began to move. The people in the 65 arena did not move, but Xia Pingan walked from the 67 arena to the 65 arena.
As for the winner of this round, it was luck. Luck was also a skill and strength.
On the 65 arena was a woman in her twenties. She was quite charming and was wearing a green dress. However, Xia Pingan did not dare to underestimate this woman. The man who had just fought with this woman was kicked in the temple by this woman. He vomited blood and flew out of the arena.
"Mei 'er is a newcomer and has no one to rely on in Shang Jing City. I want to join the Judgment Army to make a living and have someone to rely on. Brother, please take care of me …" Seeing Xia Pingan coming over, the woman still looked pitiful and saluted to Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan curled his lips and smiled, "Sister, don't worry. I will be gentle later. Sister, don't kick my face …"
The woman looked at Xia Pingan. Her eyes moved and she smiled like a flower, "Why don't I have a competition with you? If you lose, you will admit defeat and let me have a round. What do you think?"
"What kind of competition?"
"How about a rock-paper-scissors game?"
While the two of them were talking, the other people in the arena had already started to fight.
Compared to the first round, the competition between the victors this time was even more intense. The level of the competition was clearly higher than before.
Xia Pingan laughed. He was determined to join the Judgment Army. He did not want to play any tricks with this woman, "Rock-Paper-Scissors is too simple. Sister, if you want a competition, why don't we recite poems? You and I will each ask a question. The loser will automatically leave. How about that?"
The woman sighed faintly and looked resentful, "Brother, you don't want me to win?"
"Hahaha, I can play rock-paper-scissors with you when I drink with you another day. At this time, since we don't want to give in, let's fight. It's more practical. Please!"
"Well, in that case, I'll offend you!" Although the woman said that, she didn't hold back at all. Her body moved, and her palm was like a knife, directly stabbing towards Xia Pingan's throat. It was incomparably ruthless, and her speed was much faster than Xia Pingan's previous opponent.
Xia Pingan did not hesitate and kicked the woman's waist. The woman dodged to the side and directly kicked Xia Pingan's crotch …
F * ck!
This woman's attack was too ruthless. This move forced Xia Pingan to take a step back.
After a few moves, Xia Pingan found that this woman's figure was flexible and changeable. However, compared with her previous opponent, her strength was somewhat lacking. Therefore, this woman's attacks were all killing moves. She wanted to win with one move.
Punches and kicks were not her specialty. This woman usually used some kind of small weapon in close combat. In a situation where she had the advantage in speed and body movement, if she also had a weapon in her hand, then the lethality would be completely different.
If she met someone else, it would not be difficult for this woman to win again. However, she met Xia Pingan, which was tantamount to kicking an iron plate.
After a few moves, Xia Pingan used the Dragon Crouching Tiger Crouching Dragon and used his shoulder and arm to block the woman's kick to the back of his head. Then, he grabbed the woman's ankle. Before the woman could twist her body and launch a series of kicks, Xia Pingan fiercely swung and broke the woman's technique with force. Her legs left the ground and spun like a windmill. With a whoosh, she was thrown out of the circle.
The woman's figure tumbled in the air like a gymnast. However, she could not borrow or divert the force. When she landed, she was already several meters away from the yellow line.
Xia Pingan smiled and clasped his hands towards the woman. The woman glared at Xia Pingan and stomped her foot before turning around and leaving.
Qu Youqian had a hard time winning this round. Although he won, he was beaten to the point of coughing up blood.
After this round, another 81 people were eliminated. There were only 82 people left.
Those who were eliminated were directly led out of the military camp.
"The first round of selection is over. Everyone, follow me for the second round …" The two people of the Judgement Army glanced at the remaining people and continued to lead Xia Pingan and the others into the military camp.
