Law of the Devil

It's eight days before New Year's Eve. Finally, the deadline for registration for the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament was announced.

From the GF announcement to the present. A total of two and a half months. 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 will rush to the imperial capital to compete. I'm afraid the journey will take nearly two months.

The result was a few days after the deadline for registration was announced on this day. There are still various samurai who came from other places one after another, angry and dissatisfied because they missed the registration time, and demonstrated and shouted around the headquarters of the Knights Association-she Wei didn't care about these, and directly asked the soldiers of the Public Security Department to drag these guys away. .

Until the last day of registration. A total of more than 4,100 people signed up for this World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament. It's a pity...it's time for the real preliminaries. There were more than 600 fewer people who came to participate in the competition... 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. Admittedly incompetent. Just leave quietly. So as not to make a fool of yourself in public.

But Du Wei doesn't care about these things, and Deron doesn't even care. Anyway, he has already made a lot of windfall, and 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" will be in short supply immediately upon listing. The non-stop reprinting and reprinting made Delong's fingers cramp when counting money.

And for more than two months, Du Wei has already asked people to renovate the huge square in the headquarters of the Knights Association, and laid a one-meter-high circular arena in the middle. About half the size of a football field.

And the surrounding three-story buildings were also urgently built into the "stand" designed by Du Wei. Although the rudimentary is a bit rudimentary, it is just that the wall facing the arena was demolished and railings were installed. But after careful separation. The number of VIP boxes on the third floor has reached 116—this kind of box Du Wei announced for sale in the form of a "package ticket". Buy this box package ticket, you can see the final from the preliminaries.

At the same time, the news was released on the first day that the two boxes with the best locations 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 game. Once such news is released. The remaining more than one hundred 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 3,000 gold coins each, they were all sold out within three days. With just over one hundred boxes, they earned more than 300,000 gold coins!

And the VIP seats on the upper floor. A total of more than 600 tickets were produced, and they were also sold in the form of "package tickets", not retail, with a price tag of 300 gold coins per seat. They were all sold out in just a few days.

Just by selling the fares on the second and third floors, he earned nearly half a million gold coins. Looking at the numbers on the account book, Delong blushed, and it seemed that he wanted to kiss Du Wei fiercely on the spot. A few mouthfuls!

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 the Golden Finger! He truly brings fortune wherever he goes!

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 smiled lightly afterwards : "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 Yes, for these citizens, a few copper coins are already a day's living expenses, and they can't spend more money to watch a show, so there is no need to set the price too high, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be no People came to see it."

Even so. Thousands of viewing tickets in the square on the first floor are also selling rapidly, after all, for ordinary people. A few copper plates are also a considerable expense. Many people are still waiting and watching... But Du Wei predicts that after the game actually starts, the tickets will sell out quickly.

Follow the 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 half a million gold coins on the second and third floors. Du Wei gave Deron one hundred thousand. Then I took 100,000 for myself. The rest is a stroke of the pen. All donated to the Imperial treasury - such a move. The regent was very satisfied. The Minister of Finance also came to thank Du Wei that night. He even proposed to let Du Wei's 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 is barely okay. But the old man's granddaughter is only twelve years old!! This is a crime!

\u0026 Loop 8226:

Because there are too many contestants. If you fight against each other and fight two by two, I'm afraid this match won't be over until next spring!

So Du Wei discussed with Delong, and Delong stepped forward. After discussing with the other three judges. Made the rules of the preliminaries! Let all the players draw lots. Then every group of eight people went on a group fight!

Eight people are in the ring. In the end, he stood still and did not fall. It is the winner of this group!

This suggestion originally received some doubts. After all, one person has to win seven opponents at the same time. The difficulty is a bit too high! Although it is very easy for an excellent samurai to defeat seven ordinary people by himself, but... this is a samurai competition! If in a group, a sixth-level samurai meets seven Level five warrior. Then even if this sixth-level warrior is the strongest, he will definitely not be able to defeat seven fifth-level warriors!

But Deron came up with Du Wei's saying: "Competition is not only about personal strength. There is also wisdom! On the duel field, it is not only relying on personal brute force. You must also learn to use your brain! Hide yourself Preserve your strength. Wait, wait... We hope that the champion selected in the end is a leader who can lead the Roland Sword Knights to glory, but not a reckless man who can only use brute force. If you really meet the one you mentioned In such a situation, as the strongest person in the group, he will inevitably be hostile by other players. Then 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 huge arena was divided into eight small pieces. Every small arena. There is a team fighting each other, and the time is only one stick of incense! This stick of incense is burned out. About half an hour or so. 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". Let some stronger players be in the same group. Or the game cannot be finished within the specified time, and the entire group is 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 last champion. It is not necessarily to defeat all the strong teams. As long as you defeat the opponent you draw, you can win the championship... Can you say that this is absolutely fair?

No matter how. In the middle of a lively and noisy evaluation. The game has officially started!

Du Wei did not play on the first day, and his preliminaries were on the second day. So on this day, he happily sat in the box on the third floor and watched the players fighting below.

Little Zach also brought a group of people to sit on the ground floor square closest to the ring, and even set up a few tables. Several subordinates kept recording something.

Because some of the people who participated in the preliminaries today are popular players in betting. As the head of the gambling group this time, Little Zach wants to record the results of the game, and then cash out one by one according to the bets, and at the same time change and modify the odds according to the results of the outcome.

result. The first day of competition. Let many gamblers lose everything!

obviously. It seems this year. It is no longer possible to use "knight level" to measure the level of strength!

In a group today. Two favorites were drawn 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. And after the lottery. These two guys were grouped together, which immediately aroused criticism from many betting gamblers. And the other six people in the same group are all low-level warriors of the second and third ranks.

Take a normal guess. This group will probably become two five-level guys who will end up heads-up.

Can result. But it exceeded everyone's expectations!!

When the game started. These two five-level guys are also very smart. When they even started. A tacit understanding was reached between the two, and they did not fight each other first, but formed an alliance with each other very well. The plan is to clear out other low-level players on the stage first! This will prevent the two of us from being besieged by the other six players because we stand out from the crowd.

But to the astonishment of all the audience present, two fifth-level masters teamed up to knock five contestants out of the ring. In the end, they were the only ones on stage. There was only one young man left who looked very thin...according to the information announced before the game. This young man has only three levels of strength. And only twenty years old.

A 20-year-old young man at the third level has to face the joint attack of two fifth-level masters...but it doesn't work.

In full view. The young man was dressed in coarse gray clothes, and holding an old long sword, he suddenly snarled. A gray dou qi actually emanated from the long sword!

result. With one sword, he chopped a fifth-level enemy back again and again. All the opponent's swords were chopped off! Then, while the other guy was stunned. Feiqi kicked the opponent's heart, and lifted him directly off the ring!

The guy with the sword in his hand was already vomiting blood. So when the young man's sword was against his throat, he simply raised his hands to admit defeat!

The audience was in an uproar!

Then, amidst the shouts of countless audiences, the young man walked off the ring. Welcome everyone to cheer. Even Du Wei, who was standing in the box, stood up, smiling and applauding...

Of course he was delighted! Two betting favorites were knocked out! Big bang for his gambling syndicate!

"What's the name of this young man?" Du Wei asked Delong beside him, and he looked at the young man in the audience. The guy was tall and thin, with green hair, a protruding face, and firm eyes. He looked like a very strong young man.

Delong quickly flipped through the list of today's contestants. Then he smiled and said, "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 games. This group has a sixth-level master, and this master is a holy knight!!

The strength of a sixth-level holy knight is absolutely water-free! Everyone knows this! So this group. Everyone thought that the sixth-level holy knight would win—without a doubt. He is also a big favorite in this group!

Can result. A young man in his twenties with straw-like hair. With a typical southern accent. Wearing a set of white coarse samurai robes. Not even a weapon was drawn. With a speed that was almost ghostly, he knocked the other opponents out of the ring in a moment!

In the end, he easily dodged the sword of the sixth-level knight. Stick it in front of him. He punched the sixth-level knight in the waist and eyes. It directly knocked him off the ring... What moved Du Wei the most was. After the sixth-level knight fell into the ring. Immediately turned over and jumped up, looking unharmed at all!

What does this mean? It means that that guy has a good shot! He can easily control the power of his shot!

It's not that hard to knock your enemies out of the ring. The most difficult thing is to keep the opponent from getting hurt! Keep the strength within a certain range. That is to make the other party lose their resistance without hurting the other party...

This kid is a master! Du Wei immediately made a judgment: his strength is at least above the seventh level!

"What's his name?" Du Wei immediately asked Deron.

"Uh... His name is... Another strange name. Kakarot. From... Well, it's so strange, the information shows that he comes from the southern swamp! That's a very dangerous place."

Du Wei: "..."

\u0026 Loop 8226:

Another unpopular creator of the day. There is also a name that makes Du Wei's eyelids twitch!

This guy is in a group. Only took a few face-to-face. Just broke the legs of four fourth-level players and two third-level players, and the last enemy jumped out of the ring in fright...and this winner. According to the data, he is only a...first-level warrior!!!

and. 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 yell: God, are you playing the Dragon Ball game for me! Do you have Guixianren? Do you have Tianjin Fan! Do you have Trunks!!

\u0026 Loop 8226:

Although those few coincident names made Du Wei depressed. But soon he became happy.

Why?

Several betting favorites were eliminated. Then his casino is naturally very profitable!

Du Wei slept soundly that night. At the same time, people modified the odds. The odds of today's violent "Dragon Ball Trio" have been adjusted up a bit.

\u0026 Loop 8226:

the next day. The competition venue of the Knights Association was full of all the spectators!! Even the tickets in the square were all sold out! Even on the street outside the Knights Association, there appeared a new profession that had never been seen in the Roland Continent Crowd - ticket touts. Commonly known as "cattle"!

These guys walked around the crowd with mysterious faces. See those people who are frowning because they can't buy tickets. Just paste it quietly. He whispered furtively: "Brother, do you want a ticket? Today is the Tulip Duke's match!"

certainly. 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.

Today, the competition venue outside is very lively. It can almost be said that there are huge crowds of people, and the square and stands are all packed. There were no empty seats in the rooms upstairs and in the boxes.

Obviously...the reason why so many spectators came today is because of the name of Duke Tulip!

Many people are curious. This magical genius, does he know martial arts! Or, how strong is his martial arts!

When the game starts. Du Wei was the first in this group of eight people to step onto the ring. There was thunder in the audience!

I heard warm applause and cheers from the stands. There are also many voices of 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!

Something like "Tulips must win". It's still reserved.

There are some crazy girls. He jumped up and screamed at Du Wei on the stage: "My lord, marry me! I'm beautiful, but I'm still a virgin!!"

"Your Excellency, 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. 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 the number one love saint in our empire! Ever since Liszt After the death of the previous patriarch of the family, 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.

It was Princess Karina. Looking at the women below who were yelling at Du Wei crazily, there was an undisguised disgust on their faces.

In the midst of shouts and shouts. The game starts!

To Du Wei's surprise, when the gong of the game sounded, he was already ready to fight. Holding his own long bow in his hand, looking at the seven opponents in front of him, according to common sense, he is the most dazzling person in the entire group. It will definitely be a thorn in everyone's eyes, and Du Wei is worried that these people will join forces to besiege him first.

But the result...

One second passed... Ten seconds passed... Thirty seconds passed...

These guys just look at me. I look at you, no one strikes first!

"Hey! I said you guys, are you here to see the scenery? Hurry up!" Du Wei became impatient.

Instead, relying on Du Wei's nearest guys, they looked at Du Wei with helplessness on their faces. Suddenly one of them said in a low voice: "Master Duke! I beg you, just show off a few moves at will, and we will just jump off the ring by ourselves..."

"Yes, yes!" The others nodded quickly.

Du Wei: "...you..."

The guy smiled flatteringly: "You are welcome! What 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 he has the status of the Duke of the Empire. Who dares 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?

snort. Even if you win this game! Do you have a life to get out of the imperial capital?!

Even if the Duke is kind. Don't compare with you. But there are a lot of people in the imperial capital who want to hug Duke Tulip's thigh! The Duke himself doesn't need to do it himself. There are a group of people who will volunteer to help him "vent"!!

The game is won. Get bonus?

Then there must be life flowers!

Du Wei couldn't help but smiled wryly... In his conscience, he really didn't have the slightest intention to bully others!!!

When he thought of this, he simply stopped talking nonsense with these people. He frowned: "Stop talking nonsense! Hit!"

After finishing speaking, Du Wei took a step forward, just lifted his finger, and buckled it on the bowstring of the longbow... But Du Wei raised his finger. The guy closest to him immediately looked happy, and then suddenly yelled: "That's amazing!!"

The voice fell. This guy had already "screamed" and flew back with all his strength. He fell directly under the ring!

Du Wei was stunned! He stared at him dumbfounded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, subconsciously waved his hands: "You don't want to..."

But watching Du Wei's "waving" movement. The two people standing in front of him immediately glanced at each other, and screamed "Ahhh" in a very tacit understanding. One of them even yelled exaggeratedly, "It's so powerful to split the empty palm!"

finished. The two guys have "flyed into the air". Falling 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 a groveling look on his face.

Du Wei is angry!

If you don't fight, I will fight!

Thinking of this, he strode forward and rushed over. To the two guys in front of you. Raise your legs to kick...

But Du Wei's leg raising action was done. The two guys already looked happy, 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 sitting in the box. Laughing so much that he is already rolling on the chair, how smart he is. In an instant, he understood the subtlety, and laughed so hard that tears flowed out. .

Du Wei couldn't hold back anymore. The following booing. Making his face green and white, he stared fiercely at the last two remaining opponents, and at the guy on the left. He shouted, "You! It's you! Come and hit me!"

"The villain doesn't dare!" 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. He looked cowering.

"Do you want to fight or not!" Du Wei pressed forward with furious eyebrows.

"The villain will never dare!!" The man stepped back again!

"I tell you to hit me!" Du Wei pressed forward again.

"The villain is really... ah!" The man was just halfway through. The body retreats again. But he stepped on the ground with one foot - it turned out that he stepped back again and again. 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 took out another opponent!

Du Wei stood there. I was so angry that I vomited blood.

Thousands of spectators in the audience shouted angrily: "Shadow! Fake beating!! Shady!! Fake match!!"

Some even yelled "Refund!! Refund!!"

In the stands, the regent laughed so hard that he even threw his teacup over the railing. Holding his belly, his body twitched.

And Du Wei stood on the ring, looking at the last remaining "opponent" in front of him.

Du Wei put away his anger. Suddenly, in an extremely kind tone. Said softly to this guy: "You hit me, I won't blame you."

This man was about to cry: "My lord, I dare not beat you to death." "I let you beat me. What are you afraid of!"

"I...I'm afraid of everything!" The man's answer made Du Wei's heart spurt blood.

"Well, come here. You cut me with a sword, and I'll give you 10,000 gold coins! You kick me. I'll give you 20,000 gold coins!"

The man was crying: "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. There was a look of determination on his face! Du Wei was overjoyed when he saw it—he was finally going to make a move?

As a result... the guy suddenly roared. He rushed towards Du Wei! Du Wei stood still, picked up his longbow and was about to block it...

But this guy's jumping position was far higher than Du Wei's head! He jumped directly from the top of Du Wei's head. Then... with a plop, it fell under the ring!

I saw that he struggled "hardly" a few times. A mouthful of blood came out of his mouth! Looking at Du Wei. He yelled loudly: "My lord Duke's miraculous skills are unrivaled! You are amazing! I admire you!"

finished. Stand up straight. Directly "fainted" in the past.

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. .
