The first segment of the preliminary round was the grouping. In order to demonstrate the fairness of the martial arts examination, the grouping of the preliminary round was randomly generated by drawing lots. The method of drawing lots was also very simple. There was a large wooden box in the middle of the martial arts arena, and inside it were 5,582 wooden lots, which were the same number as the contestants in the preliminaries. All the contestants were drawn in order, and the 100 contestants who drew the same number on the wooden lots were automatically divided into a group.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, all the preliminary contestants, including Chu Ming, had drawn their lots. The 5,582 contestants were divided into 56 groups and were seated in the resting area. Amongst them, the person who drew the fifty-sixth group was considered lucky. After all, there were only eighty-two people in the last group. Compared to the other groups, the pressure of competition between them was naturally smaller.
"The first round of the preliminary competition has officially begun. Next, please welcome the contestants from groups one to ten to their positions!”
The loud voice spread throughout the arena. The ten groups of contestants standing in the front row of the resting area immediately moved. They all used their movement techniques to fly toward the ten giant rings on the training field. Chu Ming, who had drawn the fourth group in the draw, also walked toward the fourth ring at a leisurely pace.
Soon, the first ten groups of 1,000 contestants all stepped onto the stage according to their groups. The situation in every ring was similar. Some of the contestants who had communicated with each other before the competition and were lucky enough to be in a group automatically huddled together as soon as they got on the stage. On the other hand, those who were unlucky and couldn't contact each other before the competition were put in a group, and a few contestants like Chu Ming who didn't want to join forces with others stood alone on the side. Other than Chu Ming, everyone else looked nervous and wary.
"Begin!"
Following the strict order of the head examiner, the stalemate on the stage was instantly broken. Some of the less mentally strong or braver people did not hesitate to attack the competitors beside them. The competitors who were attacked naturally could not just take a beating and not retaliate. In an instant, all kinds of fighting sounds rang out endlessly, and most of the arenas were in chaos. Of course, there were exceptions to everything, and not all rings were like this. For example, Chu Ming's ring number four.
While most of the contestants in the ring were engaged in fierce battles, the fourth ring was silent. Everyone looked around cautiously, trying their best to get closer to the edge of the arena. Obviously, the contestants in the fourth challenge ring were all relatively smart people. They understood the principle of " the fisherman reaps the benefits " and " the bird that takes the lead gets shot." Everyone wanted to be the " fisherman " who reaped the benefits, and not the " bird that takes the lead " who was shot.
However, this " harmony " did not last long. Soon, a slightly impatient voice broke the situation.
"In ten breaths, walk down the arena or die!”
There was no doubt that Chu Ming was the only one who had the guts and strength to say something like that.
The contestants on the fourth ring couldn't believe their ears and looked at Chu Ming as if he was an idiot. These words were basically a challenge to everyone. Since the start of the Martial Selection Meet, no one had ever dared to say such arrogant words in the arena of the preliminaries. Could this person have lost his mind?
For a moment, the entire fourth challenge ring fell into an abnormally strange atmosphere.
Chu Ming knew what everyone was thinking, but he didn't care at all. He didn't have the interest to care either. Right now, he only wanted to end this boring and meaningless chaotic battle as soon as possible. That was all.
After a while, Chu Ming looked around and said coldly,""Ten breaths have passed. It seems that you have all chosen death!”Chu Ming's eyes flashed with killing intent as he walked towards the two contestants closest to him. With every step he took, his killing intent and fighting spirit increased. His aura was like a ferocious tiger that was about to devour its prey. Everyone on the stage was shocked.
"Kill them!"
With a shout, Chu Ming suddenly swayed his body. His speed was as fast as fire, and he felt as if he was thousands of miles away. His fists rose and fell like a ferocious beast coming out of a cage, and he instantly arrived in front of the two warriors.
The might of a second-rate martial artist was not something a mere tempering realm martial artist could withstand. When Chu Ming's fist was about to hit them, the two competitors finally reacted. Their faces instantly turned ashen as they hurriedly parried. A fist and a claw struck, and a man spurted out blood. He was three feet shorter than before, and Chu Ming had punched him so hard that his head had sunk into his chest. The other person's throat was grabbed in the blink of an eye and he was thrown into the sky. When he landed on the ground with a bang, he was already dead.
With just one move, two competitors at the eighth layer of the Body Refinement Realm instantly died on the spot. The ruthlessness of his methods made one's heart go numb. In fact, Chu Ming couldn't be blamed for being ruthless. This was the rule of the world. The strong preyed on the weak, and only the fittest survived. As the saying went, a general's achievements would lead to the death of thousands of people. If one wanted to reach the peak, they were destined to step on the corpses of countless people. The weak should be the stepping stones of the strong. Moreover, Chu Ming had given them a chance, but they didn't cherish it. In that case, Chu Ming naturally didn't mind getting more Merit Points in the preliminaries.
After killing two contestants in one move, Chu Ming didn't stop attacking. He was like a tiger that had entered a flock of sheep. His eyes were filled with blood as he flew away like a beam of light. He punched out continuously, each punch stronger than the last!
Crackle! Another four contestants were blasted into pieces by Chu Ming, their bones broken and their bodies ripped apart.
"Bastard, this guy is simply treating us like pigs and dogs and slaughtering us at will. Don't tell me that so many of us can't defeat him alone?”
Chu Ming's strength and ruthlessness made the other contestants feel fear and fear, but at the same time, it also aroused their common hatred. In their anger and fear, dozens of participants spontaneously joined forces to fight Chu Ming.
"Die, madman!"
In the next moment, dozens of attacks came at Chu Ming from all directions. The anger and killing intent of these dozens of martial artists were enough to make ordinary Body Forging martial artists have a mental breakdown!
However, Chu Ming didn't seem to notice the fierce counterattacks from the other participants. He seemed to be immersed in his own slaughter. His hands turned into swords, chopping, stabbing, hooking, slicing, probing…He slowly executed the Wind and Cloud Sword Technique. In an instant, several more people were killed on the spot. Fierce generals were born for the battlefield. In ancient times, there were fierce generals who entered and left seven times in an army of millions. Although Chu Ming was not as good as them, how could a mere hundred people do anything to him? From the start of the battle, Chu Ming had chosen the best way to deal with a single enemy. The best way to deal with a chaotic battle was to blend in and never give the enemy the chance to attack in an orderly manner.
" Good, good, good. This is a real battle…" Chu Ming's blood boiled."A battle should be this enjoyable and enjoyable!”
Chu Ming forgot about everything and immersed himself in the Ethereal Realm of slaughter. He was both hot-blooded and calm. In the Ethereal Realm, he could see every subtle change in the battle and capture every opportunity in time. The fierce Wind and Cloud Sword Technique was fully displayed by his hands, and he suddenly felt an unprecedented pleasure in battle. In the midst of this exhilarating slaughter, the suppressed emotions that Chu Ming had been suppressing because of Feng Lie's death suddenly felt so comfortable that he felt like he was floating in the air!
On the stage, Chu Ming was unstoppable. He was like a killing machine. Every move he made was a bloody death. In less than a quarter of an incense stick's time, the dozens of competitors surrounding him had been reduced by half.
He was invincible and invincible.
At the same time, the abnormal situation in the fourth ring also attracted the attention of many spectators outside the arena.
"Hiss, who is that person? He's actually so powerful. As a tempering realm martial artist, how can he be so powerful…"
" I didn't expect that there would be such a person in the preliminaries. I'm afraid that even ordinary Pre-Sky Realm warriors can't compare to him…"
"What a ruthless brat. Is he going to kill everyone…"
……
The audience discussed animatedly, some praising and some criticizing, but without exception, they were all shocked by Chu Ming's ferocity. Not only the audience, but even the head examiner Yan Ju, who was sitting on the high platform, was attracted by Chu Ming's massacre on the stage. His eyes were filled with splendor.
" Calm, decisive, ruthless! You have the talent of a general!" The commander of the Imperial City Guards quickly gave a six-word evaluation in his heart.
The Great Qin Empire relied on martial arts to establish a country, and the army had extremely high requirements for Generals. Only with a calm personality could one clearly judge the situation. Only by being decisive would one not miss the opportunity. Only ruthlessness could give the enemy a fatal blow. Without a doubt, Chu Ming's performance in battle perfectly demonstrated the basic qualities that a Great Qin warrior should have!
"This kid was born for the army and the battlefield. Even though he's still a little immature, as long as he's nurtured, he'll definitely be a fierce general in Great Qin's army!”In an instant, Yan Ju made a decision in his heart. No matter what Chu Ming's results were, he would definitely recommend Chu Ming to the Great Qin military after the Martial Selection Conference. It would be a waste if such a person did not enter the army and go into battle to kill the enemy.
However, the commander of the Imperial City Guards didn't expect that he was only seeing Chu Ming's normal side. If he had seen Chu Ming's crazy appearance, he probably wouldn't have thought so. At that time, Chu Ming was definitely not calm at all. All that was left was madness and violence. At that time, he would not only lead troops into battle, but he would also kill his allies…
