Tomb of Immortals

Chapter 357 The First Round of Knockout
Bao Tian took a closer look at this huge arena. Juye City is worthy of being a big city with millions of people. , I don't know how many people can be in the stands on all sides, I'm afraid a hundred thousand will not be able to stop it.

And Bao Tian and the Xiong brothers are sitting in the contestants' seats, and there can be at least 2000 people.Bao Tian couldn't help tutting: "I didn't expect so many people to sign up for the competition, and I don't know how many rounds the competition will take."

"This is only one-third." Xiong Batian said beside him: "There are two other sub-fields, and the competitions will be held in the school grounds of the two garrison barracks outside the city."

"Yes, both the North Camp and the South Camp have a garrison of [-] troops, the country's elite!" Xiong Aotian admired, and then continued: "This is just the first round of the competition, only this round will probably eliminate many people. Although there are no strict requirements for registration, the first round of elimination is a touchstone."

"What is the competition in the first knockout round?" Bao Tian was determined to win now, he was not as perfunctory as before, but asked actively.

"No way, brother, you signed up without knowing anything?" Both Xiong Batian and Xiong Aotian looked at Baotian in surprise. Introduced to Bao Tian: "This round of knockout rounds is about strength."

"Yes, no matter which direction you develop, strength is the foundation. Brother, look at the stone locks placed on the field, the lightest one is a standard weight. Generally speaking, there is no strength of more than two days. How can there be the strength of a thousand catties to lift the stone lock?" Xiong Aotian chuckled: "The emperor's imperial decree is to select the son-in-law from all over the world. But in this first round, we have to get rid of those wastes who are lucky. The firewood was eliminated."

"Yeah, I don't know what the emperor thinks, isn't this funny?" Xiong Batian also laughed, and immediately attracted the stunned and speechless eyes of the other contestants around.

Bao Tian shook his head, this is not a joke, Emperor Shengyang made the momentum of choosing a son-in-law so that everyone knows, maybe it is to show the imperial power, or maybe it is to show the emperor's kindness, yes The people treat everyone equally, anyway, it is definitely not as simple as Xiong Batian thinks.

As for what Xiong Aotian said about the strength of a thousand catties, the strength of the second day, Baotian converted it, and it actually refers to the monks in the psychic realm.Then the criterion for choosing a son-in-law this time is to start at the psychic realm. According to the laws of heaven, the strongest in the apocalypse realm is the monk at the nirvana realm. I am afraid that no one at the nirvana realm would be willing to be the son-in-law of the Great Emperor Shengyang, so he participated Most of the players who choose the son-in-law should be in the psychic and legendary realms.

The reason why we say the vast majority is because there are a few people like Baotian.Baotian is in the Nirvana state, so it is hard to guarantee that there will not be other people who are equivalent to the Nirvana state, but it doesn't matter, for the sake of Huo Qilin, Baotian has decided to fight to the end.

"Silence! Silence! Silence!"

Just at this moment, there was a sudden and orderly shouting like mountains and seas, even Bao Tian was taken aback.

It turned out that the demon soldiers maintaining order in the martial arts arena were shouting in unison. Today there are at least [-] spectators here, and many of them are monsters. people.At this time, these ten thousand demon soldiers shouted with all their strength at the same time, and immediately suppressed all their voices.

After three sounds of "quiet", the martial arts arena fell silent. At this time, all the demon soldiers turned around and faced the same direction, and slammed the iron spears in their hands on the ground, making a neat "Dang" sound, and then the demon soldiers turned around and faced the same direction. The soldiers raised their right legs high and stomped them down in the same rhythm, and there was another "boom", their eyes were burning and sincere, and they were watching a certain tall figure in that direction.

Bao Tian looked over there, and saw that there was a high platform, so high that he could overlook the entire fighting arena.A tall figure stood on the high platform, looking down, like a peerless powerhouse, overlooking all living beings.

Bao Tian squinted his eyes. Because the distance was too far, he couldn't release his consciousness, so he could only vaguely see that it was a tall man who was at least over ten feet tall. He was wearing a golden armor that shone brightly in the sun, and his hair was golden. His long hair was fluttering in the wind. Standing there, he was as dazzling as the sun.

"It's the general!" The Xiong brothers on the left and right sides of Baotian were all excited. They blushed and stood up like those demon soldiers. They raised their right legs and stomped them down heavily. present.They also used to be soldiers, and they had a pilgrimage to the general.

Although the monsters are not as exaggerated as the Xiong brothers, some people stand up and salute and then sit down from time to time. After all, in the Holy Sun Empire, the general is second only to the Holy Sun Emperor in prestige. He holds heavy troops and is powerful. , admired by all.

The general stood with his hands behind his back, and after a long while, he stretched out a hand and pressed it down. Then the demon soldiers who stood upright and the Xiong brothers around Baotian finished their staring ceremony, and the Xiong brothers sat down. , still rubbing his big hands excitedly, Xiong Batian even said excitedly: "It's worth it even if you lose this time if you can see the majesty of the general with your own eyes."

"Everyone—" The general who had been silent all this time finally spoke. His voice was like thunder, as if it exploded in everyone's ears. The martial arts arena was so big that everyone could hear it clearly.

"This general is on behalf of His Majesty inspecting the first round of the knockout round of the Martial Election Congregation. I will use my reputation to guarantee the fairness of this match." The general raised his hand above his head, and then swung it down violently. : "Now I declare, the game begins!"

Sure enough, it was a soldier's style. The general didn't say much, he just showed why he came here, but because of his prestige, he still won everyone's applause.

"The general is really good!" Xiong Batian slapped the bear's paw loudly.

"The general is mighty and domineering!" Xiong Aotian clapped louder than his brother.

Bao Tian couldn't help shaking his head, he didn't know what the general said was good, the biggest advantage was that everyone understood it.But isn't it the most basic thing to speak intelligible?As for mighty and domineering, whoever has that kind of strength, that kind of status, and then looks down on everyone and speaks, will appear very mighty and domineering...

Blind worship, Baotian despises the Xiong brothers.

So the competition started. The first round of knockout competition was really simple. Several match points were set up on the martial arts arena to proceed at the same time, and it was enough to call one by one.

Anyway, for a stone lock that starts at one thousand catties, if you can handle it, you can pass it, and if you can't handle it, you can get out. It's simply too simple.

There are more than 2000 contestants here. Originally, Baotian thought that he wouldn't be able to compete in a day, right?Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, it would be his and the Xiong brothers' turn.

The Xiong brothers were ahead of him, and the players lined up in groups of five, and the three of them walked in a team to a certain match point.The two in front of the three were more tragic, and they were all eliminated.

When it was Xiong Batian's time, Xiong Batian strutted up. The referee didn't dare to underestimate him when he saw his big arms and round waist, so he asked first: "How much weight do you want to lift? You have to do what you can, if you can't lift it three times , but the opportunity is lost!"

Xiong Batian rubbed his big hands, and said with a chuckle, "Ten thousand catties!"

"What?" The referee was taken aback. To be able to lift [-] catties would be more than three days' strength!But seeing that Xiong Batian looked confident, he didn't say much, and waved the flag: "Start!"

Bao Tian looked a little strange at the side, so he asked Xiong Aotian who was in the front row: "Since one thousand catties can pass the test, why does Xiong Da want to lift ten thousand catties?"

The two eliminated contestants looked at him in surprise, but Xiong Aotian was used to Baotian being more "confused" than their brothers, so he patiently explained to Baotian: "Because of the quota for entering the second round, There are only 100 people. There are more than 6000 people participating, and only 100 people are admitted, so it is naturally calculated according to the weight. Even if 100 people lift more than [-] catties, then your lift One thousand catties will be eliminated. This is called survival of the fittest, understand?"

"..." Bao Tian ignored this guy's show off, and thought that Qian Jin would be fine, but Wan Jin might be in some trouble.

You must know that even if a monk's physical body is strengthened with the improvement of cultivation base, it cannot be compared with physical cultivation.Bao Tianxin said that if Lu Longwei from the Demon Palace came to participate that day, he would be No.1.But he Baotian, to be honest, Baotian really doesn't know how heavy he can lift, he has never tried it!
But he is a Nirvana cultivator himself, and he has the blood of Dafeng, so... he shouldn't be eliminated, right?
"Hi—" Xiong Batian roared successfully as expected, and lifted the ten-thousand-jin stone lock.But his face was flushed and he was sweating profusely.Obviously, this ten-thousand-jin stone lock has already done his best for him, and he may not be able to lift it even if it is one or two more.

The referee waited for him to hold on for three breaths before waving the flag and declaring success.Although it was obvious that Xiong Batian had no energy left, he still asked: "Do you want to continue the challenge?"

"No need, hehe." Xiong Batian smiled shyly. With his temperament, he spares no room for life and does everything he does. How can he be challenged?

Xiong Aotian followed up, also challenged Wan Jin, the result was the same as Xiong Batian, the twin brothers were carved out of the same mold.

Afterwards, it was time for Baotian, Xiong Aotian waited to get off the stage, and hurriedly told Baotian: "Do what you can, pass the test first."

"Quickly step back!" The referee urged impatiently, and then looked at Bao Tian's small arms and legs, which did not look like a strong person, and couldn't help but secretly curled his lips and asked, "How much do you want to lift?" catty?"

Bao Tian looked at the row of stone locks of different sizes, and said cheekily: "If you lift it up successfully, you can always challenge the heavier weight?"

"Yes!" The referee sneered, "As long as you can lift it up."

"Then let's get a thousand catties first." Bao Tian said cheekily, which immediately drew laughter from other contestants around.
