This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 269 The World is Unfair

September 9th was the fourth day after the start of the Martial Arts Exchange Competition and also the first day of the main competition.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the playground used for the competition was already packed with people.

The eight square arenas that had been built previously have all been removed, leaving only a huge circular playground surrounded by six stone pillars more than ten meters high.

The following main competition will be held in the area surrounded by these six stone pillars, and each game of the main competition will be held individually.

Every contestant who makes it to the main competition will compete with his or her opponent in front of tens of thousands of people and on live TV, showing off his or her style!

There were two huge lists placed in the center of the venue. The one on the left listed the players who entered the main competition, while the one on the right was still blank for the time being.

At this time, many people were already gathered around the list on the left, looking at the names written on it.

The universities or sects to which these names belong are also written after these names, and the names of the same university or sect are written together.

Therefore, it is clear from the list which company has the most people entering the finals this time.

Ranked first is Shangqing Sect!
In addition to Gan Jingcheng, a Daoji-stage expert who automatically entered the main competition, Shangqing Sect, as the organizer of this competition, also has 4 places in the main competition.

Among the remaining 35 Shangqing Sect disciples, 9 made it to the main competition.

In total, there are 14 people from Shangqing Sect who entered the main competition!
Ranked second is Pudu Temple.

Excluding the two Buddhist disciples, Pudu Temple had three places in the main competition, and eight of the remaining 3 disciples made it to the main competition.

So in the end, 13 people from Pudu Temple entered the finals.

The third ranked sect is Daluo Sect.

In addition to Ning Chuan and Ning Xing, Daluo Sect also had 3 places in the main competition. Among the remaining 25 disciples, 6 made it to the main competition, and finally a total of 11 people entered the main competition.

Ranked fourth is Yuhua Sect, with a total of 7 people entering the main competition.

Ranked fifth is another organizer, Tianqu University.

In addition to Yu Wen Donghao who entered automatically, Tianqu University has 2 places in the main competition. Among the remaining 7 students, 2 have entered the main competition.

A total of 5 students from Tianqu University entered the final competition.

Of the remaining twelve universities, only Wu'an University had three students enter the finals, namely Li Fei, Wang Fengqing and Li Tianyu.

From all other universities, only one person entered the finals!
From this list, we can clearly see the gap between the thirteen universities and the top sects of Buddhism and Taoism.

As one of the organizers, Tianqu University saw that the group draw in the qualifying stage was clearly more favorable to the participating students from Tianqu University.

For example, the group you are drawn into has players with weaker average strength.

For example, several students from Tianqu University are in the same group and work together to "send" one person to the next round.

Under such circumstances, only two students from Tianqu University made it to the finals.

No one from other universities made it to the finals.

It is conceivable that if there were no direct places for the finals, there would probably be even fewer names of students from various universities on this list.

Perhaps in the end only Li Fei, Wang Fengqing and Yuwen Donghao, three people in the Dao Foundation Stage, will enter the main competition.

As the organizer, Shangqing Sect also had a great advantage. Not only did it have the most places and the most participants in the main competition, but it also drew a "good lot" for its disciples in the preliminaries.

But in this case, Shangqing Sect only had one more person entering the main competition than Pudu Temple.

This shows the profound heritage of this thousand-year-old temple, Pudu Temple!

This time, we indeed sent out the strongest lineup of the younger generation.

There was a sudden commotion among the crowd near the list.

Two important figures are coming this way:
Vice President of Tianqu University and martial arts master Yuwen Xinzhang.

Xuanming, elder of Shangqing Sect and master of martial arts.

The two of them walked up to the blank list.

Newspaper reporters flocked over, and cameras and live broadcast equipment were quickly set up.

"Everyone, next we would like to invite Master Yuwen Xinzhang, Vice President of Tianqu University, and Master Xuanming, the elder of Shangqing Sect, to draw the match schedule for the main competition for us!"

Someone introduced loudly.

Before the lottery began, staff members wrote eight names in eight places on the blank list.

These eight names are exactly the eight peerless geniuses mentioned in "On Prodigies"!
"The next stage of the competition will be divided into eight divisions, and the final eight places will be decided from these eight divisions."

"We first wrote the names of the eight peerless geniuses into the eight divisions. This is to prevent them from meeting each other too early and to make the competition more exciting."

The staff continued to introduce loudly.

The eight peerless geniuses entered eight different divisions, which basically meant that the rest of the people had no chance of reaching the top eight of this competition.
Regarding this arrangement, even though the other contestants were angry, they did not dare to stand up and say anything.

Who made you not a peerless genius?

Of course, the person who was most unhappy among the people present actually planned to jump out and say something.

But before he could make any move, a pressure as heavy as a mountain suddenly fell on him, making him unable to move!

Yu Wen Xin Zhang, who was standing in front of the list, looked at someone in the crowd with a stern look and sent a message through his strength:
"Be honest with me!"

Yu Wen Donghao, who was being suppressed by the power of gravity, had fire in his eyes and gnashed his teeth.

"Please invite Master Yuwen Xinzhang, Vice President of Tianqu University, to draw the first list of contestants for us."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Xinzhang reached into a transparent box and took out a small ball at random. Then, in front of everyone, he opened the ball and took out the note with a name on it.

He unfolded the note, revealing the name written on it.

The staff then writes the name into the first partition.

Next, Master Xuanming, the elder of Shangqing Sect, drew the second contestant, and his name was written in the second section.

so repeatedly.

"Yuwen Donghao!"

At some point, the staff read out the name.

There was a commotion.

As one of the only nine Dao Foundation Stage contestants in this competition, although his name did not appear in "Tianjiao Lun", he still attracted a lot of attention.

The eight peerless geniuses are divided into eight divisions respectively, which means that there will be two people in the Dao Foundation Stage in one division.

Whichever zone Yuwen Donghao enters, that zone will be the veritable 'death zone'!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the staff wrote Yuwen Donghao's name in the fifth section.

On the first line of the fifth section, Li Fei's name was written.

'The First in History' and Yuwen Donghao were placed in the same division!
Yuwen Xinzhang secretly glanced at Yuwen Donghao in the crowd and quietly put away his gravity power.

Yuwen Donghao was stunned. Seeing that his name and Li Fei's name were written in the same section, he immediately understood.

"Old. Dad is still sensible."

Yuwen Donghao touched his head, whose hair was becoming increasingly thinner, and a smile appeared on his face.

Among the eight peerless geniuses, Li Fei, the 'No. 1 in history', is more famous than the other seven combined!

If you can beat him, the benefits will naturally be the greatest.

Yuwen Donghao felt that his father still understood him.

Of course, his name was not drawn by Yuwen Xinzhang, but by Master Xuanming.

But Yu Wendonghao knew with his feet that this must be an internal operation.

As the organizer, this is also a kind of 'unspoken rule' that all parties tacitly accept.

Even though everyone present felt that there was something fishy going on, none of them had the courage to stand up and publicly accuse the two martial arts masters of having problems.

The drawing continues.

"Zhuo Buping!"

A moment later, the draw came to the fifth zone, and a contestant named Zhuo Buping was drawn to this zone.

Everyone present looked at the name with sympathy.

Although you can no longer count on making it into the top eight, as long as you can advance one more round in the main competition, you will get more generous rewards!
Therefore, the other players all hope that they will not be drawn into the 'death zone'.

“Unfair.”

In the crowd, a man wearing the Tianqu University uniform looked at his companions with sympathy.

The other person had a naturally bitter look on his face, with a hint of depression. When he saw his name being picked out, his expression became even more bitter.

He is Zhuo Buping, a fifth-year student at Tianqu University. He is 23 years old and has reached the peak of the Qi Transformation Stage.

He was one of the two students from Tianqu University who made it to the finals from the preliminaries.

"It's okay. At least I won't meet two Dao Foundation Stage masters in the first round. I still have a chance." Zhuo Buping comforted himself with a wry smile.

"Alas, it's a pity that you fought too hard in the preliminaries and your injuries haven't healed yet."

The companion said regretfully.

During the qualifying stage, Tianqu University chose to use multiple people to protect one person, to ensure that one person could successfully enter the main competition.

But this person is not Zhuo Buping.

Although the average strength of the group he entered was relatively weak, it was also very difficult for them to qualify.

He fought his way out of that group with his own strength, but the price he paid was his injuries that have not yet healed.

The two continued to stand in the crowd waiting for the subsequent draw results.

"Yue Xu."

Another name was called out, and this person was also a student at Tianqu University.

So far, there are a total of 5 contestants in the main competition of Tianqu University, and 3 of them have been divided into the same division, and it is the "death division"!
As the host country, their luck in the draw seems extremely bad, and it is hard to doubt that there is any shady manipulation involved.

"Not fair, your opponent in the first round is Yue Xu."

The companion said to Zhuo Buping.

Yue Xu is one of the students from Tianqu University who directly qualified for the main competition.

The opponent's strength was not much worse than Zhuo Buping's, and he had been well rested for the previous three days without any consumption.

In this case, it will be very difficult for Zhuo Buping to pass the first round!

"Well, let's go."

After determining his opponent for the first round, Zhuo Buping turned and walked out of the crowd, ready to rest.

As soon as the two walked out of the playground, they were stopped.

"Zhuo Buping."

A young man with a warm smile on his face walked towards the two.

"Senior Yue Xu."

Zhuo Buping and his companions saluted the visitor.

The person who came was Zhuo Buping's opponent in the first round of the main competition, Yue Xu.

"I want to talk to him alone."

Yue Xu said to Zhuo Buping's companions.

The companion looked at Zhuo Buping with a strange expression and nodded, "Okay."

Then he stepped aside, leaving space for the two of them.

"Junior, we are opponents in the first round."

Yue Xu said to Zhuo Buping with a smile.

"Yes."

Zhuo Buping nodded with a bitter look on his face.

"I watched your competition over the past three days. You fought hard. You must be seriously injured, right?"

Yue Xu asked.

Zhuo Buping's eyes changed. This matter couldn't be hidden, so he nodded:
"The injury has not healed yet."

"Junior, we are all classmates. I will speak directly to you. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

Yue Xu clasped his fists towards Zhuo Buping.

"You are too polite, please speak."

Zhuo Buping already had a premonition of what the other party was going to say.

Sure enough, Yue Xu lowered his voice:
"Since you are so seriously injured, I'm afraid you won't be able to win the next game. We just happened to meet each other, so why don't you stop fighting so hard next time? We are all in the same university, and we should fight for the honor of Tianqu. There is no need to fight among ourselves."

There are a total of 5 contestants from Tianqu University in the main competition, and 3 of them are placed in the same zone. This is indeed a coincidence.

During the preliminaries, the Shangqing Sect and Tianqu University, as the organizers, can arrange the "luck" of their own players without going too far.

But after entering the main competition, each advancement in the round means a large amount of resources, and the maneuvering space of Shangqing Sect and Tianqu University becomes much smaller.

Tianqu University chose to place all its bets on Yuwen Donghao.

After "operating" Yu Wendonghao's "sign", the remaining students can only leave it to fate.

Under such circumstances, Zhuo Buping and Yue Xu were drawn into the 'death zone'.

But this gave Yue Xu an opportunity.

"Senior Yue Xu."

Zhuo Buping was silent for a moment, looking at the other party, "In my current state, I believe you are confident that you can beat me, but you still come to me. The best result is nothing more than allowing you to enter the next round in a better state."

"Yes."

Yue Xu nodded calmly.

Zhuo Buping asked in confusion: "But even if you enter the next round, your opponent will be the No. 1 in history."

Even if Yue Xu wins the first round, his opponent in the next round of 32 to 16 will be Li Fei.

So no matter whether his condition is good or bad, will the final result change?

This is what Zhuo Buping couldn't understand.

"Of course I can't beat the No. 1 in history."

Yue Xu said something nonsense.

He kept smiling: "But this time, there will be a specific ranking starting from the top 32. Even if I can't make it into the top 16, I can still fight for a better ranking."

"."

Zhuo Buping fell silent.

Before the first round, the other party had already started calculating the rankings of the top 32, which made him a little unsure of how to evaluate it.

"Brother, I won't let you do this for nothing. I will definitely reward you handsomely afterwards!"

Yue Xu said to Zhuo Buping sincerely.

His father was the deputy inspector general of the Cang Province Supervisory Department, a 15th-level official, the pinnacle of the fourth-class officials, and held a high position of power.

Most importantly, his father had the opportunity to go one step further and be promoted to Inspector General of the Supervision Ministry and become a cabinet official!
In this case, even though his combat power was not the best among the 10 participating students from Tianqu University, he easily obtained a spot to directly enter the main competition.

It is precisely because of this background that the promise he made at this time seems particularly significant.

He believed Zhuo Buping knew how to choose.

I'm already injured and have basically no hope of advancing to the next round, so I might as well just lose to myself.

Not only can you gain extra income, but more importantly, you can also gain friendship!

Any smart person knows how to calculate this account.

Yue Xu looked at Zhuo Buping with a smile on his face.

Zhuo Buping fell silent.

His parents named him "Buping" in the hope that he would become an extraordinary person.

He was admitted to Tianqu University and became a martial artist. Now he has even entered the finals of the Martial Arts Exchange Contest, competing with many talented people in the world.

He really deserves the name 'unfair'.

But along the way, Zhuo Buping also witnessed too much "injustice":
He came from an ordinary background and could only afford to go to university with the financial support of a wealthy family, so even though they were classmates, he could not achieve equal status with the young master of that wealthy family.

He didn't have the support of a big force, so he couldn't compete on an equal footing with others when doing credit tasks.

When the places for the finals were decided, even though his strength was the best besides Yuwen Donghao, he could not get a place in the finals.

Now that he has finally made it to the main draw, someone is telling him, "You should just lose."

It was because the other party's father was an official, while his father was just a small businessman.

There is so much injustice in this world.

People named 'Buping' will always encounter unfairness.

There are two more updates in the evening
