Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 276: The top are announced, enter the hall, and the number is the team name

June 3rd, at night

The competition for the top 100 spots in the logging group started on time.

It is worth mentioning that because Qiu Peng and others had to prepare for the Cold Resistance Class group competition in the second half of the night, they handed the final over to Liu Yuan and other 14 new Cold Resistance Class members.

"Yuan Bai, come on, if you win one more game you'll have a chance to get into the top ten."

"Yuan Kong, come on!"

"Third sister, you must be in the top three."

"Heng, come on! Try to rank higher than your father."

………………

The first floor of the main building was bustling with people.

The ten arenas were filled with the voices of their loved ones cheering them on.

In addition to relatives, many Digging Realm contestants and those who did not make it to the top 128 also came. They listened to the cheers beside the ring, and while they were envious, they also secretly vowed in their hearts that they must step onto the ring next year and make their families proud of them.

At the suspended stairs on the second floor, Liu Yuan and a group of cold-resistant level warriors were looking at the arena.

They are said to be fully responsible, but in fact, it is just to prevent accidents in the arena. As for the fighting competitions, the people from the supply department will be responsible.

"There are not many new faces. Among the top 128, most of them are from Xiacheng. There are only 14 from the three garrisons in Longyou. These guys are pretty good."

Hearing Liu Yuan's words, everyone smiled and nodded.

The people from Wuyuan and Jinggu came from Xiacheng. They are indeed a little different from the three garrisons in Longyou that were recently incorporated into the camp.

Although they are all people from Daxia now, judging from the degree of closeness, they naturally still hope to see that those who appear on the top 100 list are all from Xiacheng.

Li Yuankun smiled and continued, "I took a look. Most of the top 16 should be from Wuyuan. Brother Ning was smart enough to let the woodcutters from Wuyuan go out with the hunting team to adapt to the environment. They had 128 teams advance from the preliminaries alone, and they accounted for 98 seats in the top ."

They were all people who had come all the way from Tupo in the early days, and Li Yuankun had a close relationship with Xu Ning's younger brother Xu An, so he called Xu Ning "Brother Ning".

When everyone heard Li Yuankun's last words, they were slightly surprised.

Wuyuan accounts for 128 seats in the top 98 alone, so it is estimated that Wuyuan will account for at least % to % of the final top list.

Only Liu Yuan didn't look surprised. It was obvious that he had known the general situation for a long time. He smiled and said to Li Yuankun, "You may not know yet, but Brother Ning came back from Wuyuan during the day. I heard that the leader rewarded him with three Yang Yuan Dan and asked him to pass on his experience to Qiu Peng. In the future, Xiacheng will probably organize the logging team to go out with the hunting team."

Three Yang Yuan Pills!
When Li Yuankun and others heard this, envy immediately appeared on their faces.

"The leader commended Xu Ning, probably because he wanted the garrisons below to form a competitive relationship with each other. From now on, the annual martial arts competition should be more lively."

Ying Xuan was very perceptive and immediately realized Xia Hong's intention to reward him.

Xiao Kangcheng also realized it and nodded, "Of course, as the number of personnel stationed at each station increases, there will likely be competition among the three groups of the logging level, digging level, and even the cold-resistant level."

"Tsk tsk, Brother Xiao is really bold. The cold-resistant class is already competing. Then the number of cold-resistant class people in our Great Xia will be incredible."

"Hahaha……"

Hearing Zhu Shun's teasing, Xiao Kangcheng and others laughed.

But there was obvious anticipation in their laughter.

Everyone understood what Zhu Shun meant.

The competition between the stations in this martial arts competition was limited to the logging realm grouping. The reason was that the total number of Digging Realm people in Daxia was not large. Except for the Wushuang and Hanqiong stations, each of which had a thousand Digging Realm and were qualified to hold the preliminaries independently, the number of Digging Realm people in the other three stations was too small, and they could only return to Xiacheng to participate in the competition.

The Digging Realm is not a problem. Judging from the breakthrough trend in this martial arts competition, by the time of the martial arts competition in June next year, the number of Digging Realm people in Da Xia will definitely be enough to support each station to hold the preliminaries independently. At that time, it will be natural for each station to compete for the number of people who advance to the Digging Realm.

But if it is true as Zhu Shun said, that the cold-resistant class groups also have competition, then the difficulty will be greatly increased. At least each station must have enough cold-resistant classes, so why not hold a knockout competition first?
"I estimate that this day will not be too far away. We already have 37 cold-resistant level warriors in Daxia now, and there will be more and more in the future. Maybe we will achieve it in three to five years."

Li Yuankun's bold words cheered everyone up.

Even though they didn't quite believe it, they looked up at the top floor and a sense of anticipation inexplicably arose in their hearts.

They have a leader who is good at working miracles.

Who knows, it really works!
…………

"First place, Tie Xinchuan."

"Second place, Zhou Yalong."

"Third place, Ji Hong."

…………

As the roll call began on the first floor, Liu Yuan and the others stopped talking and listened attentively to the next list of the top 100.

"Seventh place, Zhao Yuanwu."

"Eighth place, Zhao Yuankong."

"Ninth place, Yuan Bai."

"Tenth place, Liu Peng."

"Eleventh place, Lu Dong."

"Twelfth place, Zhao Yuanwu."

…………

"Eighteenth place, Xiao Heng."

…………

"No. 78, Qin Zhan"

"No. 79, Luo Cheng."

…………

"No. 100, Ning Dong."

………………

"I've never heard of Tie Xinchuan, Zhou Yalong, or Ji Hong. They all look quite old!"

As soon as Li Yuankun opened his mouth, everyone turned their eyes to the top 100 queue below, and to the three people at the front. They found that they were indeed around seventeen or eighteen years old, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Before the martial arts competition, the record for Da Xia's breakthrough to the Digging Earth Realm was over fifteen years old. During this martial arts competition, this record had already been raised to twelve years old. Now, the average age for breaking through to the Digging Earth Realm has even dropped to sixteen years old.

They only broke through to the Digging Earth Realm at the age of seventeen or eighteen. The talents of Tie Xinchuan and the other two were not even qualified in Daxia at the moment.

"Cultivation does not completely determine strength. Breaking through early only proves that you have high talent, but it does not mean that your strength is definitely stronger than others!"

"I heard that Tie Xinchuan and the other two are the living maps of the logging department. They are quite famous in Xiacheng. They have been in Hongmu Ridge for a long time and are familiar with the locations of various medicinal and fruit trees."

"That's no wonder. These three must have had many encounters with cold beasts. It must be easy for them to defeat these little devils."

………………

After hearing what Xiao Kangcheng and others said, Liu Yuan, who had been staying in Longyou, finally understood. He thought about it for a while and nodded.

Indeed, people like his younger brother Liu Peng, who broke through to the logging level and even the digging level very early, are naturally talented, but in terms of strength, there is definitely a gap between them and those who are older and have gone out for training in advance.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Peng is already very strong to be ranked tenth.

"The three siblings of the Zhao family are amazing. The oldest, Zhao Yuanwu, is only fourteen years old, but he's ranked 7th. Zhao Yuankong is thirteen years old, and he's ranked 8th. Zhao Long's son, Zhao Yuanwu, just broke the record at the logging level last year, and this year he not only broke through to the digging level, but he's also ranked 12th. These three siblings not only have high talents in cultivation, but also amazing talents in combat."

"As for combat talent, I think it's still those three. You see..."

After Xiao Kangcheng finished speaking, he pointed to the back of the queue below. Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and were slightly stunned.

Logging realm!
Among the top 67, there are still some who haven't broken through to the Digging Realm. "78th Chen Ping, 79th Qin Zhan, th Luo Cheng."

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Shun turned to look at Chen Ying beside him and said, "Sure, Old Chen, that Chen Ping is your youngest son, right?"

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Chen Ping behind the crowd, Chen Ying's mouth had already cracked. Hearing Zhu Shun's words, he immediately laughed triumphantly.

He was very unhappy that he did not make it into the top ten of the Digging Realm group this time. However, his youngest son worked hard and made it into the top 100 with the cultivation level of the Logging Realm, which brought honor to his father. Naturally, he was very happy.

"This kid does have some fighting talent. He didn't embarrass me!"

In the crowd, Ying Xuan, Ying Yi, Li Longkai and other old people from Rogue Camp all focused their eyes on Luo Cheng with slightly complicated expressions.

They all knew that Luo Cheng was Luo Ming's son.

So much time has passed that they actually don't hold any grudge against Luo Ming anymore. On the contrary, as they are getting stronger, they are even somewhat grateful to him.

After all, if Luo Ming had not handed over the camp to Da Xia, they probably wouldn’t be able to live the life they have now, and breaking through the cold-resistant level would be even more impossible.

From this perspective, they really have to be grateful to Luo Ming.

Of course, this is just a joke.

As their lives are getting better and better, their cultivation is getting stronger and stronger. They have long been devoted to Da Xia and Xia Hong. When facing their old master Luo Ming, they hardly feel any waves in their hearts.

"Now that we have decided on the candidates, let's bring them all up!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the hall on the top floor.

"It's Si Cheng's voice!"

"Si Cheng has returned from Longyou."

"Of course. The cold-resistant group martial arts competition will begin in the second half of the night."

"Isn't Brother Ning back too? The Cold-Resistant Class must have all returned."

Hearing that it was Xia Chuan's voice, everyone looked a little surprised.

After Liu Yuan reacted, he quickly went downstairs and began to gather the top 100 members of the logging group, preparing to take them into the hall to meet Xia Hong.

………………

Soon, the top 100 members of the Lumberjack Realm group followed Liu Yuan and the other 14 newly promoted members of the Cold-Resistant Realm and went up to the top-floor hall from the hanging ladder in the center of the main building.

From Tie Xinchuan who ranked first to Ning Dong who ranked last in the 1th place, the top 100 in the Logging Realm group all entered the top-level hall for the first time.

The main door is vermilion; the wooden floor is carved with animal patterns; the golden ceiling is visible when you look up, and the paint is obviously made of powdered gold wood; there are also sixteen two-meter-high cold beast statues carved from animal bones placed around the hall...

Different from others, after three nights of difficult selection, most of them walked into the hall with a pilgrimage mentality.

With such a mentality, coupled with the solemn atmosphere in the hall and various things that were not usually seen in the camp, the hundred people couldn't help but breathe heavier.

Finally, when everyone's eyes were cast on Xia Hong, who was sitting on the high platform on the east side of the hall, their eyes were filled with deep admiration and enthusiasm.

I saw it.

Finally, I saw the leader in person!

Not to mention, with the increasing population and territory of Da Xia, it is not an easy task for those loggers and diggers to meet Xia Hong.

"Meet the leader."

Xia Chuan, who had just returned from Longyou, was the first to bow to Xia Hong.

Everyone standing behind him also bowed to Xia Hong.

"Meet the leader!"

Xia Chuan and 37 other cold-resistant-level warriors represent the top combat power of Da Xia at present;
The top 100 members of the Lumberjack class group behind the Cold-Proof class, although not considered a new generation, represent the most outstanding group of young people who have gradually grown up in Daxia.

More than a hundred people in the hall saluted him at the same time, and Xia Hong felt a little excited.

"Alright, Qiu Peng will distribute the top 100 rewards for the logging group later. Now I have two things to announce first."

Xia Hong calmed down and continued, "The most important significance of this martial arts competition is to select talents for Daxia. Selecting you is only the first step. The second step is where to place these talents of yours."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, including Xia Chuan. It was obvious that what Xia Hong said at this moment was not mentioned to him.

"Daxia will soon follow the example of Longshan and Zhaoyang and form our first formal army, so we will draw many people from the best hunting teams currently in the camp. As a result, many teams will be short-handed. These top 100 personnel, including the newly broken through digging realm in the camp, can just be used to supplement your team members, so..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the Cold-Resistant-level warriors present suddenly brightened.

Build an army, recruit members from the hunting party, and replenish the team members...

They immediately understood what Xia Hong meant.

From now on, the annual martial arts competition will be equivalent to a talent show, and all hunting teams can choose suitable members from this competition.

What is the right team member?

Of course, they are the top 100 people in the hall at this moment.

Although this group of people have just broken through the Digging Realm, their combat talent is among the best in the camp, and many of them have first-rate cultivation talent. If they can become a member of the hunting team, it will definitely be a great help.

After everyone reacted, they looked at the 100 people in the logging group, and their eyes became much hotter.

Of course, there were a few people at the cold-resistant level, such as Xia Chuan, Yuwen Tao, Chen Yingyuan, Peng Bo, including Yuan Cheng Luo Yuan and others, whose gazes did not waver at all. They looked at Xia Hong, and there was obviously some other meaning in their eyes.

Raise an army!

These people had all seen the Longyou Army and the Blood Guard Army with their own eyes, so the only four words that Xia Hong had just said were in their minds.

Daxia is going to form a formal army.

The style of the leader Xia Hong has determined that he will only provide necessary support to the army and will not lead it personally.

So he will definitely choose someone among them to be responsible.

Who could this person be?
Many people present realized this, but the ones with the most enthusiastic eyes were Xia Chuan and Yuwen Tao.

Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo were also somewhat tempted, but when they realized something, they looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, and suppressed their emotions.

Yuan Cheng, Luo Yuan, Qiu Peng, Lin Kai, Yue Feng and others sighed slightly after realizing that their strength was not enough.

"It seems that you all have the intention. How about this? I won't keep you in suspense. Let's compete fairly. Whoever wins first place in this cold-resistant competition will be responsible for establishing an army. The number of Daxia's first army will also be named after the hunting team that the first place winner belongs to!"

The first army was named after the hunting team to which the first person belonged.

In other words, if Xia Chuan came first, the first army of Da Xia would be the Yunjiao Army; if Yuwen Tao came first, it would be called the Longwu Army; if Luo Yuan came first, it would be called the Hubao Army...

At this moment, the eyes of the cold-resistant level people present suddenly became extremely hot.

The passing geese leave their voices, and the passing people leave their names.

These were the eight words that Xia Hong had told them in his early years. If they could turn the name of their hunting team into the designation of an army, it would undoubtedly be a great honor for them.

"Okay, let's draw lots. We can't do without cold-resistant troops stationed in Longyou. We have to finish the martial arts competition in the second half of the night. The battle site will be Hongmu Ridge. After the lot drawing, everyone can go directly there."

Xia Hong gestured to Qiu Peng next to him.

Qiu Peng immediately took out a pottery jar and then put the twenty-three paper balls with numbers on them into the pottery jar.

“The cold-resistant level grouping adopts a random match-up, with a total of four rounds of draws.

In the first round, 23 will enter 12, with one player receiving a bye; in the second round, 1 will enter 12; in the third round, 6 will enter 6; in the fourth round, 3 will enter 3, with one player receiving a bye; there will be no draw for the fifth round finals, the winner will play against the player receiving a bye, and the winner will take first place, while the loser can challenge the player receiving a bye to compete for second place.

After the rules were explained, all 23 cold-resistant-level players looked stern, and starting with Xia Chuan, they each drew a ball of paper from the pottery jar.

The cold-resistant group martial arts competition has officially begun!
