I Have A Game Clone - Chapter 106
106 Cruelty and Bloodthirstiness
According to the competition system of the National Awakeners’ Competition, the competition would only be held in 50 cities. Contestants who did not have a place to hold the competition in their own city and wanted to participate would have to go to the nearby city to register.
The competition this afternoon was the preliminaries. The preliminaries would last for a week and eliminate half of the contestants.
After that was the semi-finals. The semi-finals would also last for a week and there would be three rounds in total.
Those who could make it out of the semi-finals were considered one out of 16 elites. Therefore, the elite competition was after the semi-finals, which also lasted a week.
!!
The elite competition would pick out the seed players from 50 cities, and only the top 8 of each city would be selected as seeds.
If any of the top 8 contestants were injured and unable to fight again, they would be replaced by the 9th place.
In the end, 400 seed players would be gathered and go to the Central City for the national competition.
The national competition would last for two weeks, and the champion would be decided in the end.
It would only take five weeks to decide the champion from hundreds of thousands of contestants. The entire competition schedule was relatively tight.
There were more than 300 participants in the afternoon. In four hours, there would be more than 100 rounds of competition.
If the competition progressed slowly, it would be postponed to the evening. These people had to finish the competition by today.
Fortunately, the gap between the strength of the preliminary contestants was relatively large, so the competition ended very quickly.
Even so, the tight schedule tested the organizing ability of the officials, and the transfers had to be very fast.
When Ning Shi came in, Luo Yao and the other two had already drawn their lots. Luo Yao was number 11, which meant that she would fight another opponent who had drawn number 11 in the 11th round.
Zong Shangren drew number 23, and Jiang Bichao drew number 44. Fortunately, he did not draw the number 100.
For the safety of the audience and to become the focus of attention, there was only one stage for this competition.
Around the stage, high-level special ability users had set up temporary energy barriers to ensure that their abilities would not overflow and hurt the audience.
The interior of the stadium had been greatly modified, and the overall style was similar to the Mieln Federation professional basketball league stadium.
The audience sat on the steps to watch the game. There was a large HD screen directly above the stage.
The screen was currently playing the exciting scenes from the morning’s competition.
One of the contestants raised his hands and a huge water dragon appeared out of thin air, rushing toward his opponent.
The opponent couldn’t dodge at all and was swept up into the sky by a water dragon. Then, he fell heavily and fainted on the spot.
The scene changed. A cool, handsome man was holding a throwing knife. He waved his hand and shot it out. The flying knife was as fast as lightning. If the camera did not play the slow motion, the audience would not be able to see the shadow of the flying knife.
Buzz!
The flying knife pierced through the opponent’s head and took away a piece of hair. The opponent only felt a chill on his head. He touched his rough scalp and knew that the handsome man had shown mercy. He admitted defeat on the spot.
Ning Shi guessed that this handsome guy should be a metal-type awakener.
Of course, he could also be a spiritual type.
Controlling metal or using spiritual force to drive the flying daggers could achieve this effect.
When the time reached 13:55, the audience stopped entering and the venue suddenly turned dark.
A beam of light hit the analysis table. There were four people sitting there, two of whom Ning Shi knew.
Huang Jian was a famous sports commentator. He created many famous scenes for sports commentary. His commentary style was passionate and was known for his strong sense of immersion.
Liu Yunshi, a popular female artiste, had strong singing skills and good acting skills. She was one of the rare artists in Yunmeng Kingdom’s entertainment industry who had professional skills.
These two must have been specially invited by the officials to increase the popularity of the competition.
Huang Jian had already begun to introduce the other two.
“Ladies and gentlemen! Good afternoon, viewers in front of their televisions and live-streaming platforms! I’m Huang Jian, the one who likes to talk nonsense. Welcome to the National Awakeners’ Competition’s Donglin Stadium division. Let’s have a good time!”
The audience was very cooperative. They stood up one after another and let out deafening shouts.
With tens of thousands of people shouting together, the entire Stadium felt like it was shaking!
“I would also like to thank the online audience for their attention. I sincerely suggest that if there is an opportunity, you must come to the venue to experience the magical charm of the National Awakeners’ Competition!
“Please allow me to introduce the guests who will be at the commentary booth today.
“Mr. Mou Zhenjiang is a consultant of the Central City Investigation Department and a visiting professor at the National Scientific Research Institute. He is a powerful Tier 7 awakener. In the study and improvement of the cultivation methods of the awakeners, Mr. Mou Zhenjiang is a master.
“Ms. Luan Limei, a Tier 8 awakener, an instructor of the Battle Wolf Brigade of the Western Military Region. She has trained many warriors for the country.”
Mou Zhenjiang and Luan Limei stood up and the whole audience applauded.
“The two powerful awakener masters will break down the fighting arts of the National Awakeners’ Competition in detail and help us understand what abilities the contestants have mastered…”
Huang Jian said a few words and introduced Liu Yunshi, then announced the start of the competition.
The lighting in the stadium was very good. The players went on stage from both sides, and the light beam followed the players.
When they got on the stage, several beams of light converged on the stage and illuminated it.
The two contestants immediately became the focus of tens of thousands of people.
On the big screen, a close-up shot would be shown, focusing on the micro-expressions of the players.
One of the contestants was a middle-aged man. It was his first time competing in front of tens of thousands of people. He was very nervous, and the corner of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
In front of him was a woman in her twenties. She looked cold and calm, but her fists were clenched tightly. The veins on the back of her hands were bulging, showing that she was not calm inside.
All these details were captured by the camera, creating a tense and exciting atmosphere for the game.
It had to be said that the resources and energy that the officials had invested in this competition had been fully utilized.
The effect it caused was also full marks.
The referee blew the whistle and the match officially began.
The man was a strength-type awakener. He held a large blade and quickly slashed at the woman!
The woman happened to be a metal-type awakener. She took control of the man’s large sword and slashed it at him.
The man’s strength was extremely strong. In order to protect herself, the woman also used her ability with all her might. In the end, she didn’t control her strength well and the blade quickly cut through the man’s shoulder.
Buzz!
The man’s right arm was cut off at the end, and fresh blood spurted out. The competition stage was instantly filled with blood.
The medical team that had been prepared on the sidelines was immediately dispatched. They put the broken arm back, lifted the man on a stretcher, and sent him to the ambulance.
The audience was agitated by this bloody scene. Most of them were pale, and the timid ones were already crying.
On the big screen, the battle was still being replayed. The bloody scene of the broken arm was played repeatedly.
Luan Limei explained on the commentary platform, “The battle between awakeners is not a simple competitive sport. It is a battle of life and death. Although Fang Xuanjun lost this match, I am proud of him. His arm was cut off, but he did not make a sound. He has the courage of a man from Yunmeng Kingdom!
“In the face of the insect disaster, what we need is this kind of fearless spirit!
“On the other hand, although Yu Yu won, she still needs to train her mental state. With this kind of mentality, she won’t go far in the competition.”
The woman who won was called Yu Yu. At this moment, she was leaning on the railing of the stage and vomiting. It was the first time she had used her ability to hurt someone. Fresh blood splattered on her face, and it was still warm.
She had a stress reaction.
Ning Shi had long anticipated this kind of scene. The officials had long since confirmed the scale of the competition.
The disability indicator was not simply written in black and white, but the real rules of the competition.
If they vomited at the sight of blood, how could they fight against insects in the future? How were they going to deal with the subsequent beast and spiritual disasters?
The officials just wanted the people to gradually regain their vitality and get used to fighting.
Ning Shi turned his head to look at his three disciples and found that they were all fine and not particularly afraid.
He curiously looked at the inner voices of his disciples.
[ Luo Yao: Compared to master’s swordsmanship, this one named Fang Xuanjun is too bad. He only knows how to swing his sword with brute force, so there’s no beauty to it. If his arm is broken, he can always reattach it. Strength-type awakeners have very strong recovery abilities, he’ll recover in a while. ]
[ Jiang Bichao: This competition is indeed very dangerous. My goal is the campus National Awakeners’ Competition. This competition is just a warm-up. I can’t afford to get injured. ]
[ Zong Shangren: Tsk, it’s just an arm, do these people have to make a fuss about it? compared to the punishment master gave me in the dream, an arm is just child’s play. ]
Ning Shi nodded with satisfaction. His three disciples had good mental qualities and did not fear the battle because of the cruelty and blood.
Only by passing this psychological barrier could one display their true strength.
In the National National Awakeners’ Competition, many of the participants were veterans who had been awakeners for many years. This was not the stage for Luo Yao and the other two.
They had just awakened not long ago, and there was still a long way to go before they could become experts.
The first round of the competition did not cause much of a stir. All three of them encountered awakened ones above the fifth step and were eliminated.
His disciple’s match was over. Ning Shi didn’t plan to continue watching other matches and was prepared to return to school.
Before he left, he heard Huang Jian’s explanation.
“Professor Mou, all the strength-type awakeners who appeared in the afternoon were defeated. Most of them were strength-type awakeners, but only a few managed to advance. What do you think of this phenomenon? ”
Ning Shi didn’t listen to Mou Zhenjiang’s answer and walked out of the stadium.
“Train well,” he said to his three disciples. “Whether a strength-type awakener can do it or not, you still have to rely on your fists.
