Chapter 269: The Selection Competition Begins

"Nervous? Why nervous? I'm extremely excited now!" Chu Linfei shouted excitedly, holding up the pair of male and female axes.

This pair of male and female axes is a dual-attribute magical weapon, and it was also given to him by Li Zhenbang. As the name suggests, this pair of male and female axes is a female and a male, and each is a big ax with double-sided blades.

The male ax is of the fire attribute, each attack will not only make the opponent feel scorching heat, but also has a burst attack of the fire attribute. If it hits someone, it will cause continuous burning damage, which makes people miserable.

The female ax is not a water attribute, but an ice attribute. Each attack will be accompanied by a frost attack, which will not only make the opponent feel cold, but also affect the opponent's speed. If it hits the opponent's body, it will also freeze the attacked place, affecting the efficiency of action.

This pair of male and female axes is much better than the previous wheel axes made of fine steel. Chu Linfei loves this pair of axes so much that he never leaves the axes every day, even when he sleeps.

The others didn't feel nervous either. Everyone caressed their weapons, looking eager to try. During this time, they not only trained their tacit understanding with each other, but also trained their intimacy with weapons. A qualified fighter will also cherish his weapons very much. Weapons are like his second life.

It has been a long time since anyone has challenged the team. The choice of Li Zhenbang and his team this time made them the focus of public opinion. Some students even made a bet, betting how many rounds they can last, a few minutes.

The ratio of betting on them has reached 1:1000, but no one chooses. The odds of betting that they can enter the Royal Mercenary Corps have also reached 1:100, and the odds of betting on their failure have reached 1:001. Even so, many people still choose to gamble with only 001 profit, which shows that everyone is not optimistic about them.

Everyone knew a little about the gamble, and they even participated in the gamble, but they all participated in masks, did not reveal their identities, and the bet was not big, and they all pressured to enter the Royal Mercenary Corps.

Zhang Dayou and Li Zhenbang discussed for a long time, and finally bet one hundred gold coins on entering the mercenary group. In the past few days, Li Zhenbang went to the civilian committee, took out his salary, left more than 200 gold coins, and gave the rest to Zhang Dayou.

Li Zhenbang used the two hundred gold coins to bet that his team would win. To him, two hundred gold coins were no different from two copper coins, even if he lost, it didn't matter. If he wins by chance, it will be 200,000. He does not need 200,000, but he can solve many urgent needs in a short time. And if Zhang Dayou gave the 200,000 yuan, it would be easier for him to accept it.

To everyone's surprise, this year's competition to join the Royal Mercenary Corps was actually presided over by Dean Jin Wannian, which shows that he attaches great importance to this year's competition. You must know that in previous years, a vice-principal presided over it. The dean didn't even show his face.

Dean Jin Wannian is obviously not a person who likes to talk nonsense,

The opening ceremony was very simple. He didn't make any long speeches, but simply encouraged everyone, and hoped that everyone would perform well and achieve good results.

After Dean Jin Wannian finished speaking, a deputy head of the Royal Mercenary Corps also delivered a speech. The main purpose was to hope that everyone will work hard to achieve good results. Even if they don't succeed, don't be discouraged. There will be opportunities next year.

After the two speeches, the contestants began to draw lots for the competition. The lottery is very simple. People in the same grade are randomly divided into two groups. Each person draws a card from a transparent number box. There will be a number written on the card. People with the same number in the two groups are opponents.

If there is a difference of one between the two sides, one of them will have a lucky bye and go directly to the next round. After the opponent is determined, a special person in charge will arrange for the players to enter a certain venue to compete. The competition is 1v1 regardless of occupation. There are ten venues in total, and each venue is a square area of ​​50*50 meters.

Under normal circumstances, summoned beast mages do not take advantage in 1v1, so there are not many summoned beast mages in the Royal Mercenary Corps. And most of the few summoned beast mages came in through the back door.

Summoned beast mages are very excluded in the Royal Mercenary Corps, but summoned beast mages are also aware of their own strength, so they are also very low-key. Even the fifth-year summoned beast mages in the mercenary regiment would be humbled when they met third-year fighters. This is the case in the academy, let alone the outside world!

The Summoned Beast Mage had no choice but to humble himself even in the face of an apprentice magician. Who knew if the other party would become a powerful magician! But a summoned beast mage will always be a summoned beast mage.

Li Zhenbang saw that some summoned beast mages who came to the stage would bring contracted beasts of high level to the stage. Those who choose to summon monsters on the field are basically the children of ordinary people. They don't have the strength and money to capture high-level monsters as contract beasts, so they have to fight on the field.

The future of a summoned beast mage does not lie in how powerful the summoned beasts are, but in the strength of the contracted beasts. This has to be said to be the tragedy of this profession.

Although Li Zhenbang also relied on contracted beasts, after all, these contracted beasts were summoned by him through other means, so he was somewhat different from those summoned beast mages. However, in the eyes of outsiders, he is also a summoned beast mage who improves himself through contracted beasts.

The battle on the arena progressed very quickly. During the period, several summoned beast mages were lucky and summoned powerful monsters, which established the victory of the game.

But there are always exceptions. One of the third-year summoned beast mages actually summoned a hellhound with one head. Although it is only a hellhound with one head, it is also a powerful seventh-order monster.

But it is a pity that he did not win, because the moment he was summoned, he fell into a coma due to exhaustion of mental power, and the summoned beast had to disappear regrettably.

The competition in the third grade is relatively fierce. Some people deliberately did not advance to the fourth grade because the third grade is relatively lower and the chance of winning is greater.

The number of players in the fourth and fifth grade competitions was much smaller, so the competition was over in just half a day.

There is only Li Zhenbang in the team competition, and it is also a team that everyone is looking forward to, but most people are looking forward to when Li Zhenbang and the others will lose.

There are a total of seven teams on the opposite side. Li Zhenbang's two sisters are in a team with five people. One of their friends' teams has six people, and the other has four people. Their opponent's team and the soy sauce team are both five people. There is one There were only three people in the team, and the last team had seven people.
