Chapter 40 Qualifying Round

Lu Changsheng has great trust in Hongye's judgment.

Since Hongye said that Guanshan is invincible below the third level, then he is invincible.

The reason why he got up early and came to the venue together.

He just felt that as a master, he should be present at the most important moment in his apprentice's life.

Otherwise, he would not be able to watch the fight between those low-level extraordinary kids.

"Old Lu, do you think there are so many people in the Demon Slayer Division today... Not only in the venue, but also outside the venue. Is the awakening ceremony so grand every year?"

Lu Changsheng yawned and looked at Lu Jiangming.

"There are indeed a lot of people this year, probably because the children of those big families have come to participate, and the Demon Slayer Division must ensure that everything is foolproof."

Lu Jiangming took a sip of soda, smacked his lips, and still felt that the beer tasted.

"Is that so..." Lu Changsheng also agreed with Lu Jiangming's statement, and suddenly asked curiously, "Old Lu, what place did you get in the qualifying competition that year?"

"Boss Lu, I'm not bragging. I was a famous figure back then. I was invincible in my class and was nicknamed Lu Wudi." Lu Jiangming's expression seemed to be lost in memories, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up.

"Ah... Then this first place doesn't have much gold content..."

Although Lu Changsheng still can't read qi, he has also come into contact with many awakened people in the past year and can vaguely feel their fluctuations.

Old Lu is only a second-level extraordinary at best, no more.

"I'm really not bragging, Boss Lu. Back then, which girl in the surrounding area would be confused when she saw me. The good girls who wanted to have a baby with me could line up from Lincheng to Yaoguang."

"Now that I think about it, it was better when I was young!"

Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Jiangming's beer belly and sparse stubble, and politely didn't respond.

"Ahem, a hero doesn't talk about his past achievements, haha~" Lv Jiangming smiled awkwardly and looked towards the center of the venue.

The qualifying round is about to begin.

A middle-aged woman, wearing a decent black dress, stood on the high platform and spoke lightly.

"All awakeners participating in the qualifying round, enter the teleportation array in the center of the venue in an orderly manner."

"The rules of the qualifying round will be explained after entering the trial field."

The crowd quickly began to move.

Some people who like to show off directly jumped down from the audience seats, and combined with their own abilities to make a strong presence.

Especially Wang Sheng, who took a single step and jumped dozens of meters, and was the first to stand in the center of the array, with a domineering face.

The audience on the stage also gave face and exclaimed "Wow".

"This child is a bit too ostentatious. I'm afraid he will be targeted when he enters the trial field." Lv Jiangming said with the look of an experienced person.

Lu Changsheng didn't pay attention to others, but just looked at Guan Shan quietly.

Gou Shengzi learned his true teachings and mixed in the crowd, queuing up to enter the magic circle.

The woman on the high platform saw that no one continued to enter the magic circle, and spoke again.

"The Linjiang Province Awakening Ceremony Qualifying Competition is about to begin. I solemnly remind everyone."

"It is forbidden to attack companions, use military weapons, and use banned drugs."

"You are all the future of our human race. I hope everyone can do their best and achieve ideal results."

"The qualifying competition officially begins."

With a soft flash of light, everyone in the magic circle was covered by a huge semicircular energy shield, and their figures gradually blurred.

The huge screen in the venue lit up at the same time.

In the screen, except for a group of boys and girls, there were only scars all over the ground.

Ruined walls, black smoke, and dead silence.

In the distance of the screen, three large characters were engraved alone on a crumbling city head.

【Fengdu City】

"Fuck, it's such a big deal! Are these little brats going to Fengdu City to get killed?"

Lu Changsheng stood up excitedly.

"Don't get excited, Boss Lu. Look at the venue." Lv Jiangming smiled and pointed to the center of the venue. "This is the battlefield simulation array of the Demon Slayer Division. Those children are still here, but their spirits have been projected over there."

"If they are judged to have lost their combat effectiveness, the Demon Slayer Division will intervene from outside the venue to get them out."

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, and subconsciously thought of the magical room during the agent meeting.

What is the relationship between Guizhai and the Demon Slayer Division...

Inside the trial field.

The strong smell of gunpowder, the stench of rotten corpses mixed with a faint smell of blood rushed straight into the nose.

Several people with poor psychological endurance knelt down and vomited.

The already unbearable smell was even more disgusting.

The simulation array of the Demon Slayer Division was almost the same as reality, even if they knew it was all fake.

But most people were still overwhelmed by the depressing atmosphere, cruel scenes, and shocking limbs.

Except for Wang Sheng, Liang Yuxin, and Guan Shan, everyone's faces turned extremely pale.

Liang Yuxin stared at the energy shield above her head, curled her lips, and muttered a little unhappy, "It's Fengdu City. All my previous strategies were in vain. This trial field must be the latest."

Wang Sheng's face was also solemn, looking at the countdown above his head.

Five minutes left...

A cold broadcast came from the sky, explaining the rules of the qualifying competition.

"All contestants, kill the first-level monsters, you can get 1 point."

"Kill the second-level monsters, you can get 10 points."

"Kill the third-level monsters and you will get 100 points."

"The trial field will last for three hours, or everyone will be killed."

"Finally, the ranking will be determined by the points."

"With the same points, the ranking will be determined by the number of high-level monsters killed."

"The qualifying round will start in 5 minutes, please be ready."

As the broadcast ended, a dense crowd of monsters appeared in the city in an instant.

All of them stared at the students with eager eyes, and the roars, swallowing sounds, and the sounds of saliva falling to the ground constantly stimulated everyone.

"Gu Jia, your friend has bad luck. The killing type of trial field is the most difficult mode to open up the gap."

He Jinyong looked at his side with some regret.

"Not a friend, but a junior brother." Gu Jia stared at Gou Shengzi on the screen without any worry, "Guan Shan will definitely take the first place."

"Still pretending, why don't you say you are Guan Shan's master's wife." Deng Lingling looked at Gu Jia unconvinced, why could she sit in the first row with the principal and convince everyone.

Because of her dislike for Gu Jia, Deng Lingling also hated Guan Shan, and wished he would embarrass himself in the qualifying match so as to kill the wild girl's spirit.

Guan Shan on the screen could not hear the sound of the venue.

He just silently pulled out the dagger behind him and checked it.

The others were stunned by his action.

The look in their eyes also became weird.

"Brother, you are already an SSS-level superpower, why do you still carry a knife with you?"

A little fat man in the crowd stepped back a few steps and asked with some fear.

"The rules don't say you can't bring weapons, is there a problem?"

Guan Shan put the dagger back to his waist, and pulled out two folding knives from his trouser legs, flicked them back and forth a few times, and confirmed that the springs were fine.

Everyone looked at each other, speechless.

They cursed themselves in their hearts.

Yes, the rules don't say you can't bring weapons, why do you come in unarmed!

Seeing Guan Shan constantly taking out weapons from all over his body like a magic trick, everyone's eyes gradually became hot from the initial confusion.

The key to this ranking competition lies in the number of demons killed. If you have weapons, you will definitely get more points. Maybe just one demon is the difference between the top 100 and the outside 100.

Finally...

"That... Guan Shan, are you selling your weapons?"
