Chapter 541 Chapter 503 I want to compete!

When it was eight days before the New Year, finally, the registration for the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament was announced to be closed. It has been two and a half months since the GF announcement, and I have to say that this time is a little short. For example, in some remote areas of the mainland, even if they get news of this kind of conference competition, the news comes and goes, and those Warriors from remote areas would have to travel nearly two months to compete in the imperial capital. As a result, a few days after the deadline for registration was announced on this day, there were still various samurai who came from other places one after another. They were indignant and dissatisfied because they missed the registration time, and demonstrated and shouted around the headquarters of the Knights Association——Du Wei didn’t care about these, just directly Let the Sheriff's Department soldiers drag these guys away.

As of the last day of registration, more than 4,100 people had registered for this No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament in the World.It's a pity... When it came to the actual preliminaries, there were more than 600 fewer people who came to participate... All of these 600 people lost their qualifications for the competition due to "off-site factors". Some were killed or injured in fights during their stay in the imperial capital, some were locked up by the public security department and jailed, and some saw the gathering of masters in the imperial capital and thought they were not good enough, so they simply left quietly to avoid making a fool of themselves in public.

But Du Wei doesn't care about these things, and Deron doesn't even care.Anyway, he has made a lot of windfall.So many consecutive editions of the "Competition Book" have brought Delong a net income of nearly ten thousand gold coins, and the supply of each edition of the "Competition Book" is in short supply as soon as it is released. Counting makes my fingers cramp. In the past two months, Du Wei has already ordered people to renovate the huge square in the headquarters of the Knights Association, and laid a one-meter-high circular arena in the middle, which is about half the size of a football field.

The surrounding three-story buildings were also urgently built into the "stand" designed by Du Wei. Although it was a bit crude, it was just that the wall facing the ring was demolished and railings were installed.However, after careful separation, the number of VIP boxes on the third floor has reached 116. This kind of box Du Wei announced the sale of the "package ticket". The preliminaries have seen the finals. At the same time, news was released on the first day that the two boxes with the best positions had been donated to the royal family and the church respectively, and it was said that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent and His Majesty the Pope would be present to watch the competition.Once this kind of news was released, the remaining more than 100 boxes were immediately snapped up by the wealthy nobles of the imperial capital who heard the news-this is a good opportunity to get in touch with the royal family and the church! !

Even though the price was as high as three thousand gold coins each, they were all sold out within three days.With just over 100 private rooms, he earned more than 300,000 gold coins! As for the VIP seats on the building, a total of more than 600 seats were sold, and they were also sold in the form of "package tickets", and no retail sales were made.All the seats with a price tag of 300 gold coins were sold out within a few days. Just selling tickets for the second and third floors earned nearly half a million gold coins——Looking at the numbers on the ledger, Delong blushed, and it looked like he wanted to kiss Du Wei fiercely on the spot. How many bites!

Five hundred thousand gold coins!This is five hundred thousand gold coins! ! This Du Wei is indeed worthy of being recognized by the empire as a golden finger!Wherever he goes, he can bring wealth! As for the viewing tickets on the square on the first floor... Du Wei simply swiped his pen and sold them at the price of three copper coins per game - such a low price made Delong a little surprised, but Du Wei then smiled lightly: "The seats upstairs are used to earn gold coins from the wealthy people in the imperial capital! After all, the imperial capital has been operated in peace for hundreds of years, and there are many rich people. But most of the audience in the square are ordinary citizens. , for these citizens, a few copper coins are already a day's living expenses, and it is impossible for them to spend more money to watch a show. Therefore, there is no need to set the price too high, otherwise, no one will come Look."

Even so, the thousands of viewing tickets in the square on the first floor are also selling rapidly. After all, for ordinary people, a few copper coins are not a small sum of money, and many people are still waiting and watching... But Du Wei predicted , after the game actually starts, the tickets will sell out very quickly. According to calculations, just selling the ordinary viewing tickets on the first floor is enough to recover the cost of renovating the competition venue. The income of 500,000 gold coins on the second and third floors, Du Wei gave 100,000 to Delong, and then took 100,000 for himself, and donated all the rest to the imperial treasury with a stroke of a pen. Wang was very satisfied, and the Minister of Finance came to thank Du Wei that night, and even proposed to let Du Wei's younger brother and his granddaughter get married in advance.

After hearing this, Du Wei muttered in his heart: Gabriel is only fourteen years old!According to the customs of the empire, it's okay to be barely, but this old man's granddaughter is only twelve years old! !This is simply a crime! ... Because there are too many participants, if you fight against each other, two by two, I am afraid that this competition will not be over until next spring! So Du Wei discussed with Deron, and Deron stepped forward. After discussing with the other three judges, he made the rules for the preliminaries!Let all the contestants draw lots, and then each group of eight people-for gang fights!

Eight people are in the ring, and the one who still stands still is the winner of this group! This suggestion originally received some doubts. After all, it is too difficult for one person to defeat seven opponents at the same time!Although it is easy for an excellent samurai to defeat seven ordinary people by himself, but... this is a samurai competition!If a sixth-level warrior meets seven fifth-level warriors in a group, even if the sixth-level warrior is the strongest, he will definitely not be able to defeat the seven fifth-level warriors! But Deron came up with Du Wei's set of sayings: "The competition is not only about personal strength, but also wisdom! On the duel field, you should not only rely on personal brute force, but also learn to use your brain! Hide yourself , preserve strength, etc... We hope that the champion we choose in the end is a leader who can lead the Roland Sword Knights to glory, not a reckless man who can only use brute force. If we really meet what you said In that case, as the strongest person in the group, he will inevitably be hostile by other players, so this player must use his brain!"

This rhetoric convinced the other three judges. Four days before the New Year, the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament officially begins! During the preliminaries, the gigantic arena was divided into eight small sections, and on each small arena, there was a group fighting for the competition, and the time was only one stick of incense!It will take about half an hour for this stick of incense to be burned. If a group fails to win within half an hour, the entire group will be eliminated! Although it is somewhat unfair... In this way, it is inevitable that there will be some so-called "death groups", so that some stronger players will be placed in the same group, or the game cannot be completed within the specified time, and the entire group will be eliminated ...But Du Wei's view on this is: there is no absolute fairness in the world!Sometimes, luck is also a kind of strength!

For example, the "World Cup" in Du Wei's previous life was also played in groups. The final champion may not necessarily defeat all the strong teams. As long as you defeat the opponent you draw, you can win the championship... You can say that this is absolute Is it fair? No matter what, amidst the lively and noisy evaluations, the competition officially started! Du Wei did not play on the first day, and his preliminary group was on the second day.So on this day, he happily sat in the box on the third floor and watched the players fighting below. Zack Jr. also brought a group of people to sit in the square on the first floor closest to the ring, and even set up a few tables, and his subordinates kept recording what they were doing. Because some of the people participating in the preliminaries today are popular players in betting. As the head of this gambling group, Little Zach wants to record the results of the game, and then cash them out one by one according to the bets. At the same time, he will change and modify according to the outcome odds. As a result, on the first day of the competition, many gamblers lost everything! Obviously, it seems that in this year, it is no longer possible to use "knight level" to measure the level of strength! In today's group, two popular betting targets were divided into a group. Both of these guys have the strength of level five, they can be regarded as intermediate warriors, and they both have the strength to display fighting spirit. After the lottery, The two guys were grouped together, which immediately aroused the criticism of many betting gamblers.The other six people in the same group are all low-level warriors of the second and third ranks. According to normal guesses, this group will probably become the result of two five-level guys in the final heads-up. But the result was beyond everyone's expectations! ! At the beginning of the game, these two five-level guys were also very smart. They even reached a tacit understanding at the beginning. They didn't fight each other first, but formed an alliance with each other very well. The other low-level players on the stage!This can prevent the two of them from being besieged by the other six players because they stand out from the crowd. But what stunned all the audience was that two five-level masters teamed up and knocked five players out of the ring. In the end, besides them, there was only one young man who looked very thin... According to the announced information, this young man has only level three strength and is only twenty years old. A 20-year-old young man of level three had to face the joint attack of two level five masters...but it failed. Under the eyes of everyone, this young man was dressed in rough gray clothes, and holding an old long sword, suddenly shouted sharply, and a gray fighting spirit burst out from the long sword! As a result, he chopped a level 5 enemy back again and again with one sword, and knocked the opponent's sword away!Then, taking advantage of the other guy's stunned effort, he flew up and kicked the opponent's heart, lifting him directly off the ring! The guy with the sword in his hand was already vomiting blood, so when the young man's sword edge hit his throat, he simply raised his hands to express his surrender! The audience was in an uproar! Afterwards, amidst the shouts of countless audiences, the young man stepped off the ring to welcome everyone's cheers.Even Du Wei, who was standing in the box, stood up, smiling and applauding... Of course he is very happy!The favorites of the two bets were wiped out!Let his gambling syndicate make a lot of money! "What's the name of this young man?" Du Wei asked Delong next to him. He looked at the young man in the audience. The guy was tall and thin, with green hair, a protruding face, and sharp eyes. Firm, a very strong young man at first glance. Deron quickly flipped through the list of today's contestants, and then said with a smile, "Oh, I found it! His name is... Piccolo... What a weird name." This was not the only upset on the first day.In another group of competitions, this group has a sixth-level master, and this master is also a holy knight! ! The strength of a sixth-level holy knight is absolutely impenetrable!Everyone knows this!So in this group, people thought that this sixth-level holy knight would definitely win—without a doubt, he was also a big favorite in this group! But in the end, a young man in his twenties with straw-like hair spoke a typical southern accent and wore a set of white coarse samurai robes. , Knocking down the other opponents in a moment! In the end, he easily dodged the sixth-level knight's sword, stuck it in front of him, and punched the sixth-level knight in the waist, knocking him off the ring... What moved Du Wei the most was, After the sixth-level knight fell off the ring, he immediately turned over and jumped up. He didn't look injured at all! What does this mean?It means that guy has a good shot!He can easily control the power of his shots! It's not difficult to knock the enemy out of the ring, but the hard part is keeping the opponent from getting hurt!Control the power within a certain range, that is, to make the opponent lose resistance without hurting the opponent... This kid is a master!Du Wei immediately made a judgment: his strength is at least above level seven! "What's his name?" Du Wei immediately asked Deron. "Uh... His name is... Another strange name, Kakarot, from... Well, it's so strange, according to the information, he comes from the southern swamp! That's a very dangerous place." Du Wei: "..." ... Another unpopular creator of this day also has a name that makes Du Wei's eyelids twitch! This guy was in a group, broke the legs of four fourth-level players and two third-level players in just a few encounters, and the last enemy was so scared that he jumped off the ring... and this winner, According to the data, he is only... a first-level warrior! ! ! Moreover, his information comes from...a small village near the northern frozen forest.I'm twenty-eight years old, and my name is... Vegeta! ! Du Wei rolled his eyes directly! Piccolo?Kakarot?Vegeta? Damn it... It really is the "No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament in the World"! ! Du Wei even wanted to point at God and curse a few words: God, are you playing the Dragon Ball game for me!Is there any turtle fairy?Do you have Tianjin rice?Is there Trunks! ! ... Although Du Wei was depressed by those coincidental names, he soon became happy. Why? Several big favorites of betting were killed, so his casino naturally made a lot of money! That night, Du Wei had a good night's sleep, and at the same time, he had someone modify the odds, increasing the odds of the "Dragon Ball Trio" that was so cold today. ... On the second day, the competition venue of the Knights Association was full of all the spectators! !Even the viewing tickets on the square were all sold out!Even on the street outside the Knights Association, a new professional group that has never existed in the Roland Continent appeared - ticket dealers, commonly known as "scalpers"! These guys walked around in the crowd with mysterious faces, and when they saw those who were frowning because they couldn't buy tickets, they quietly posted them, and whispered furtively: "Brother, do you want a ticket! Today It's the Tulip Duke's match!" Of course, Du Wei was still unaware of all this. He didn't know that he had brought a new professional group to this continent. He's sitting in one of the players' lounges. The competition field outside today was very lively, it could almost be said that there was a sea of ​​people, the square and the stands were all packed, and all the upstairs rooms and boxes were full of seats. Obviously...the reason why so many spectators came today is because of the name of Duke Tulip! Many people are curious about whether this magic genius knows martial arts!In other words, how strong his martial arts are! When the match started, when Du Wei was the first in this group of eight people to step onto the ring, the audience was in a state of thunder! I heard warm applause and cheers from above the stands, among which were many girls screaming. And on the stands of the square, there were even some people who worshiped Duke Tulip extremely, and they put up huge signs! What "tulips will win" and the like are still implicit. Some crazy girls jumped up and screamed at Du Wei on the stage: "Your Excellency, marry me! I'm beautiful, and I'm still a virgin!!" "Master Duke, I am willing to be your lover! My name is..." "Master Duke, you are so charming! I am willing to dedicate myself to you!!" The group of females chirped, and Du Wei couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. In the private room, seeing this scene, Prince Chen couldn't help touching his chin and said with a smile: "Hahahaha! It seems that someone can finally deserve the title of 'No. 1 Lover' in our empire! After the previous patriarch of the Liszt family passed away, the position of the empire's first love saint has been vacant." Prince Charlie, who was sitting next to him, looked impatient. He wanted to see if the teacher showed his skills. On the contrary, Princess Karina, looking at the women below who were yelling at Du Wei crazily, showed undisguised disgust on her face. Amidst the shouts and shouts, the game started! To Du Wei's surprise, when the gong sounded, he was ready to fight, holding his longbow in his hand, and looked at the seven opponents in front of him.According to common sense, I am the most dazzling person in the whole group, and I will definitely be a thorn in everyone's eyes. Du Wei is worried that these people will join forces to attack him first. But the result... One second passed... Ten seconds passed... Thirty seconds passed... These guys look at me and I look at you, but none of them made a move first! "Hey! I said you guys, are you here to see the scenery! Hurry up!" Du Wei became impatient. Instead, the guys closest to Du Wei looked helpless and looked at Du Wei, and suddenly one of them said in a low voice: "Master Duke! Please, show off some moves at will, and we will jump off the ring by ourselves Enough……" "Yes, yes!" The others nodded quickly. Du Wei: "...you..." That guy had a flattering smile on his face: "You are welcome! Who are we, how dare we fight with you!" "Yes, yes!" The others nodded again! Du Wei immediately understood what was going on! It turns out that Du Wei is the most dazzling player in this group...but with his identity as the Duke of the Empire, who would dare to fight him! Although everyone thinks that this Lord Duke probably doesn't know much about martial arts...but he is a Duke! Do you dare to cut him with a sword?Punch him!Kick him? Hmph, even if you win this game!Are you destined to leave the imperial capital? ! Even if the Duke is kind and doesn't care about you like you, there are a lot of people in the imperial capital who want to hug Duke Tulip's thigh!The Duke doesn't need to do anything himself, there are a group of people who will volunteer to help him "vent"! ! Win a game and get a bonus? Then there must be life flowers! Du Wei couldn't help but smiled wryly... Honestly speaking, he really didn't have the slightest intention of bullying others! ! ! Thinking of this, he decided not to talk nonsense with these people at all, and raised his eyebrows: "Stop talking nonsense! Let's fight!" After finishing speaking, Du Wei took a step forward, just lifted his finger, and buckled it on the bowstring of the longbow... But seeing Du Wei raised his finger, the guy closest to him immediately looked happy, and then suddenly yelled One voice: "It's amazing!!" As the voice fell, this guy had already "screamed" and flew backwards with all his strength, falling directly under the ring! Du Wei was stunned!He stared at him dumbfounded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, subconsciously waved his hands repeatedly: "You don't want to..." But seeing Du Wei's "waving" action, the two people standing in front of him immediately glanced at each other, and there were two screams of "ahah" in a tacit understanding, and one of them exaggeratedly yelled, "What a powerful chop!" Empty palm"! After finishing speaking, the two guys "flyed into the air" and landed heavily outside the ring! ! Du Wei was so angry that he almost fainted. He gritted his teeth and stared at the remaining opponents: "You guys! Are you going to fight or not!" "The villain dare not!" Several people shook their heads one after another, with humble expressions on their faces. Du Wei was angry! If you don't fight, I will fight! Thinking of this, he strode forward, facing the two guys in front of him, he raised his leg and was about to kick... But just after Du Wei raised his legs, the two guys were already happy, and then howled twice in pain, and flew out one left and one right... Looking at the top of the ring, Du Wei "cooked" five opponents in a short while, and the audience was booed already! And Prince Chen, who was sitting in the box, laughed so much that he was already rolling on the chair.How clever he was, he understood the subtleties in an instant, and laughed so hard that tears flowed out. Du Wei couldn't bear it anymore, and the booing from below made his face turn blue and white.He stared fiercely at the last two remaining opponents, looked at the guy on the left, and shouted, "You! It's you! Come and hit me!" "The villain dare not!" The man took another two steps back. "Come and hit me!" Du Wei pushed forward. "The villain must never dare!" The man backed away again, with a look of shrinking. "Do you want to fight or not!" Du Wei pressed forward with furious eyebrows. "The villain would never dare!!" The man stepped back again! "I tell you to hit me!" Du Wei pushed forward again. "The villain is really... ah!" The man was halfway through speaking, and he backed up again, but his foot missed the space - it turned out that he had already retreated to the edge of the ring.With this foot in the air, he immediately fell off the ring. And... Du Wei solved another opponent! Du Wei stood there, almost vomiting blood out of anger. Thousands of spectators in the audience shouted angrily: "Shady! Fake beating!! Shady!! Fake match!!!" Some even yelled "Refund!! Refund!!" In the stands, the regent laughed so hard that he lost his hand and even threw the teacup over the railing, clutching his stomach and twitching. And Du Wei stood on the ring, looking at the last remaining "opponent" in front of him. Du Wei put away his anger, and suddenly said softly to this guy in an extremely kind tone: "You hit me, I won't blame you." The man was about to cry: "My lord, I dare not kill me." "I let you fight, what are you afraid of!" "I...I'm afraid of everything!" The man's answer made Du Wei's heart spurt blood. "Well, come on, you slash me with a sword, and I'll give you 10,000 gold coins! You kick me, and I'll give you 20,000 gold coins!" The man cried and said, "My lord! I am willing to donate all my belongings to my lord... I beg you to stretch out your hand and let me go down..." Du Wei was stunned: "Hurry up and do it, as long as you do it, I will make you a commanding officer!" The man finally stopped crying, and a look of determination appeared on his face!Du Wei saw it, and was overjoyed—he was finally going to make a move? As a result... this guy suddenly roared and rushed towards Du Wei!Du Wei stood where he was, picked up his longbow and was about to block it... But the position of this guy's pounce was far higher than Du Wei's head!He jumped directly over Du Wei's head, and then... fell under the ring with a plop! I saw that he struggled "hardly" a few times, and spit out a mouthful of blood!Looking at Du Wei, he yelled: "Your Excellency Duke is amazing! You are amazing! I admire you!" After finishing speaking, he straightened his body and "fainted" directly. Du Wei held the longbow and froze there, watching this guy's final performance... "I, I want to compete!!" Du Wei looked up to the sky and sighed in grief and indignation.
