Chapter 94 Fighting Arena
Time flies. In a blink of an eye, it has come to the days of the four college martial arts competition in the fantasy continent. Each martial arts competition is the most grand day on the magic continent. This session is even more so in the past, because this session is the third three-th-thousand-year martial arts competition, which symbolizes the three-thousand-year founding of the four kingdoms on the fantasy continent, which is of epoch-making significance.
The four colleges were established at the same time as the four kingdoms, and their status is similar, because many officials in the four kingdoms are from the four colleges. The four colleges have sent a large number of talents to their respective kingdoms, and they have the authority to participate in political affairs. When each kingdom formulates a legal system, it must be sent to the four colleges for review. If the four colleges feel that the disadvantages of the legal system are extremely great, they can directly veto it and prevent it from passing. In the general election of officials in their respective kingdoms, the four colleges have the right to recommend the next officials and participate in the general election. It can be seen how detached the status of the four colleges is in the fantasy continent!
Early in the morning of this day, all the teachers and students of Dishui College gathered in the big martial arts arena to hold the meeting of student distribution and pre-war mobilization as usual.
Xue Yifeng held the list and read out the number of teams and number of participants: there were two teams in the team competition; there were eight teams in the combination battle; 127 students participated in the individual competition, including 13 in the martial arts class, 62 in the martial arts class and 52 in the magic class. The total number of participants was as high as 156, which is the highest number of participants in the competition of Dishui College in previous years.
......
Listening to Xue Yifeng reading the pre-war general mobilization speech, Ling Hao, who sat next to Xue Yifeng, almost fell asleep.
"Okay, now I'd like to invite Vice President Kerwin and Vice President Ling to speak. Welcome!" Xue Yifeng finally remembered that in addition to himself, there were two vice presidents who came to the scene.
"Vice President Xue has already said what should be said, and I won't repeat it. I just want to say that I hope the students who participate in the competition can put down their burden, adjust their state, and strive to get good results in the competition. Vice President Kelvin is quite a leader and has a high-sounding few words.
Next was Ling Hao's speech. Looking at the drowsy students under the stage, Ling Hao coughed gently, but the small cough was clearly heard by the students sitting in the last row of the martial arts arena. Suddenly, all the students looked at Ling Hao, and they also wanted to hear what the legendary vice president said differently.
"Classmates, what is your ideal to come to Dishui College to study?"
Hearing this sentence, all the students looked at each other in contempt. Ling Hao's unexpected behavior was not a speech of general mobilization, but a question to the students. This phenomenon was the first time he had seen. However, this seemingly simple question, if you don't think about it carefully, the casual answer is nonsense, and no one can answer it for a while.
"In order to get ahead? Guangzong Yaozu? Add an official to the title? Or to improve personal strength?"
Ling Hao's series of answers made the students feel plausible.
"Dear students here, I think each of you is proud to be a student of Dishui College."
Ling Hao said, looking around for a week, and every student who was glanced at by Ling Hao nodded firmly.
"Well, let me tell you, your ideal is to be a person who makes the college proud!"
Ling Hao's simple sentence made the whole venue silent.
"Do you have the confidence to do this?"
"Yes."
"What? I didn't hear it." Ling Hao was in a listening posture.
"Yes!" All the students shouted loudly.
Looking at the energetic students under the stage, Xue Yifeng secretly admired Ling Hao in his heart. A few words could inspire this group of students' fighting spirit to such an extent. What didn't make him think of it was that under the effect of Ling Hao's words, it was not only as simple as stimulating students' fighting spirit, but also in the near future, this sentence became the motto of all teachers and students of Dishui College.
"Be a person who makes the college proud!" This sentence has become the ideal in the hearts of generations of students of Dishui College.
"Okay, this is the end of the pre-war mobilization meeting. Except for the students who participated in the competition, the other students were disbanded." Xue Yifeng hit the iron while it was hot and ended the pre-war mobilization meeting when the morale of the students was the highest.
Under the leadership of Xue Yifeng, the participating students rushed to the Dishui Fighting Arena, the venue of the martial arts competition.
Dishui Fighting Arena, known as the largest fighting arena in the Magic Continent, is located in Wangcheng, not far from Dishui College. From a distance, it is just a round building with a height of tens of meters. From its appearance, it is not tall. Why is it called the largest fighting arena in the magic continent?
When Xue Yifeng led the students into the arena, all the doubts ceased to exist. The whole fighting arena is surrounded by a viewing platform composed of five-story circular arcades, and nine arenas are arranged in the open space in the middle. Eight small quadrilateral tables are arranged along the grandstand. A large ring in the center is octagonal, and its area is as large as four small tables. To the east is the main stand, which is divided into three floors, upper, middle and lower floors. Each floor has its own different uses. The lower floor is used as a resting place for the participating students, and all participating students rest here before the competition. The middle-level stands are open to the general public, just like the stands in the south, west and north. As a Jiabin area, the upper stand can't set foot on people without a certain status. There are also three boxes on the upper floor, which are specially used by some noble people. The stands in the south, west and north directions are general stands, which can be used by anyone without restrictions.
As soon as Ling Hao walked into the arena, he was deeply shocked by the magnificent arena, and his shocking open mouth could not be close.
"How about it? This arena is spectacular. When I first came in, I was the same as you, even more exaggerated than your expression. Xue Yifeng looked at Ling Hao's shocking expression and said proudly, "What you can't imagine is that this fighting arena was only built to hold a martial arts competition between the four colleges."
After listening to Xue Yifeng's words, Ling Hao couldn't help sighing that the four colleges were really a big deal! Such a magnificent building has been built for a ten-year martial arts competition. According to this, it is estimated that the other three kingdoms also have such a large fighting arena.
Looking at this majestic fighting arena, Ling Hao subconsciously asked, "In addition to the four college martial arts competition, isn't there any other activities held here?"
"What activity? This is specially designed for our Dishui College. Who dares to use it for other purposes? Xue Yifeng answered as a matter of course.
Ling Hao was speechless and couldn't help thinking that such a good venue has always been empty. It is only used in the four college martial arts competitions, and it is only once in the fourth session, that is to say, it is only used once in 40 years. What a waste of resources.
After walking around the fighting arena, the group came to the station where the participating college rested. The stone tables and stone chairs in the station were full of teachers and students from the other three colleges. Presumably they had been waiting here for a long time.
