Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 122 The game begins

The weather was exceptionally sunny today, and the people were exceptionally enthusiastic. They were greeted by crowds all along the way. Although everyone had different expectations for this competition, their attitude was indeed very passionate, which was an encouragement to both teams and an affirmation of the competition!
Lan Tian and his team set off for the competition. Only 52 members of the Luo Yi Empire were able to compete this time, so the Shura Empire also sent the same number of people. There were only 52 participants in this competition.

Zhao Qingyun and Crown Prince Zhao Ying were responsible for arranging the order of the matches. The first match was a one-on-one direct elimination tournament, where each team's members would take turns randomly drawing their opponents from the opposing team. It was all random, and no one knew which opponent they would face! It all depended on luck.

The Shura Empire Grand Arena was incredibly luxurious, a grand spectacle capable of hosting multiple matches simultaneously. Its 300,000-seat spectator capacity was completely full. The appearance of the Shura Empire team inside the arena elicited a tsunami of cheers, with extremely high expectations placed on their empire's team.

The home advantage was obvious, which put immense pressure on Lan Tian and his team. Indeed, the entire arena was filled with the advantage of the Shura Empire. However, they did not deliberately make things difficult for the Luo Yi Empire team. Many of Luo Yi Empire's citizens from the Shura Empire also came and gathered on the Luo Yi Empire team's side, giving their best support.

Lan Tian and his group arrived at the Grand Arena, where Zhao Qingyun and Crown Prince Zhao Ying gave a final pep talk to everyone.

"The prosperity and honor of the empire over the past century now depend on everyone. We are bound together for life and death today. Do you all have confidence?"

"Yes, the Loy Empire will prevail!"

"Good! The Empire awaits your triumphant return."

"The Loy Empire will prevail! The Loy Empire will prevail!"

Suddenly, everyone's enthusiasm for winning glory for the country soared. They risked their lives for the Luo Yi Empire, throwing themselves wholeheartedly into the team. Everyone was full of expectations and no one backed down. They changed into their battle uniforms and headed straight to the arena.

Each team member received their own number plate. Lan Tian received number six, and Yi Mengying received number forty-eight. Each person's number plate was unique. After the opposing team went on stage, they would randomly draw one of our team members' number plates, reveal them to the public, and then have a one-on-one duel until a winner was determined and the battle ended. Then our team would draw their own number plate, and so on, until the competition ended.

The arena is very spacious and can accommodate four matches at the same time. Each side has two players who can draw opposing players to fight against them.

The Shura Empire sent out its first team member, number one. The opposing team consisted of a burly warrior with the number one embroidered on his body, making him easily recognizable. In Arena One, he drew number fifteen from the Luo Yi Empire, and the two immediately became opponents. The first arena was number one against number fifteen.

The second arena is number two against number thirty of the Lloyd Empire.

The third arena is where the Loy Empire draws its opponents, with Loy Empire's number one player drawing against opponent number forty-nine.

In the fourth arena, the number two opponent from the Loy Empire drew the number twelve from their opponent. With opponents chosen, all four matches began simultaneously, without interference from one another. The audience above could see all four matches at the same time. Immediately, the entire arena erupted in excitement as the competition officially began. The four arenas were instantly filled with the whirlwind of wind and clouds, and the duels were exceptionally fierce.

The competition is absolutely fair, open, just, and transparent. Every team member who is not participating can watch the matches from their designated spectator seats, where they can see everything that happens on the field. The same applies to the spectators, who have a clear view of all the matches. Each sub-arena is protected by two high-level experts to prevent the power of the matches from affecting other arenas and spectators. Furthermore, each sub-arena has three referees from different sects and empires to make the final judgments on the matches.

At this moment, all four arenas were exceptionally exciting. Every contestant was giving it their all, hoping to defeat their opponent, making the competition incredibly intense. In the first arena, a whirlwind of wind and tornadoes filled the sky, making it impossible to discern directions or see the situation clearly. The second arena was a frozen wasteland, with snowflakes swirling and ice blades flying everywhere. The third arena was ablaze with fire-attribute attacks, the entire scene ablaze with flames and sizzling sounds, the heat enough to scorch anyone! The fourth arena, however, was relatively quiet, with both contestants exercising restraint, not unleashing their full power. However, water and earth-attribute attacks were already in full swing, and the two sides had entered the decisive moment of their offensive and defensive battle.

The battle was fierce, with no chance encounters whatsoever. Everyone fought hard until the last glimmer of hope. There was no time limit for the competition; it only ended when a winner was determined. Therefore, the winners of the four separate matches were decided at different times, and a new group of matches could begin once a winner was decided in that match.

After a fierce battle, the second arena was the first to determine the winner, with the number two from the Shura Empire defeating the number thirty from the Loy Empire. This caused the Shura Empire audience to cheer wildly, and the entire arena was filled with their songs, which greatly dampened the morale of the Loy Empire.

So, they've already crushed their opponent in the first match? Zhao Qingyun observed the atmosphere on the field and then adjusted the order of the players. Yi Mengying was chosen for the second match, determined to dampen the opponent's morale.

Upon receiving the order, Yi Mengying strode towards the second arena. Zhao Qingyun's command to her was to defeat her opponent as quickly as possible, at any cost. He knew Yi Mengying's attributes and skills; her attack power was undoubtedly unmatched by anyone.

Yi Mengying calmly walked onto the arena and drew her opponent's number card. Number 52 was the last one. She didn't know how strong the last member of the opposing team was, but Yi Mengying was prepared to strike once and for all, to defeat the opponent in one move and not give them a chance to retaliate.

The contestant who came up was very ordinary. In Yi Mengying's opinion, he was too weak and small to be compared with her. She didn't take him seriously at all!

The second match begins! First, Yi Mengying adjusts her mindset, devotes herself wholeheartedly, concentrates all her strength, and launches a fatal blow, not wanting to give her opponent even the slightest chance to retaliate.

Yi Mengying activated her attribute skill, using her soul consciousness to invade the opponent's mind without making a sound, completely controlling the opponent's every move. Despite such a powerful mental attack, the opponent had no power to resist. Before even making a move, the opponent was firmly grasped by Yi Mengying, completely losing control of their body and being at Yi Mengying's mercy.

Yi Mengying unleashed her full-force, one-hit kill technique, sending her opponent flying several meters before collapsing to the ground, unable to get up. The match ended before it even began, with her opponent instantly defeated. In truth, Number Fifty-Two of the Shura Empire was their last pawn, possessing the highest level of mental illusion magic and being one of their strongest members. Who would have thought that he would be eliminated by Yi Mengying before even having a chance to use his abilities? They had underestimated him, thinking that a seemingly weak woman like Yi Mengying couldn't possibly possess any skill.

In the second match, Yi Mengying became an overnight sensation, leaving the entire audience stunned. Before they could even see what was happening, number 52 collapsed to the ground, becoming the loser. Yi Mengying returned to her seat in the stands early on.
