There were more than a dozen people from the Dragon Capital family. They were all relatively young men and women, but the young people in this carnival might not be young. Their appearance could be adjusted.
A guy with the ID "Dragon Capital – Dragon Sword" laughed sarcastically. "Where did this poor guy come from? You can't even afford clothes and you still want to participate in the Storm Gathering? Are you f * cking kidding me?"
Seeing his friend being ridiculed, Four Eyes couldn't help but say, "I'm f * cking kidding. Do you think you can cut the line just because you have some stinky money to sponsor the competition?
Dragon Sword, are you deaf and cheap?
Go back! "
Four Eyes scolded and no one could interrupt. Originally, the contestants around were a little disgusted with Dragon Capital's action of cutting the line. After Four Eyes scolded, some people started to jeer.
Dragon Sword was also annoyed. "Shut up. Where did this b * stard come from? How dare you behave so atrociously in front of our Dragon Capital …"
Mao Zi shouted, "F * ck you …"
While the two sides were scolding each other, Ding Meng's gaze fell on a person in the group. This person was also dressed in retro clothing and looked calm. ID: Dragon Capital – Mister Emptiness!
Mister Emptiness wasn't interested in bickering at first, but when he saw that Dai Yi and Lu Qing were with Four-eyes, his eyes lit up. He didn't expect to meet a natural goddess in the preliminaries.
"So it's Miss Dai from the Dai family. Hello!" Mister Emptiness took the initiative to greet her.
"En!" Dai Yi snorted. It could be considered a greeting.
Dai family was not doing well in Blue Pole Star City in recent years. It was mainly because the marriage in Flying Star City was ruined. Their influence was not as strong as before. Even if it was not ruined, it could not be compared to Dragon Capital.
"Miss Dai, are you interested in joining us? I'll take you to the front. There's no need to queue." Mister Emptiness sent out an invitation.
Dai Yi was too lazy to even look at him. "Not interested!"
Dragon Sword was unhappy. "Yo, you're quite arrogant. Isn't it just a second-hand girl whose engagement was broken?
My Young Master Fei is calling you and you're still acting cool. "
"Shut up!"
Jun Ling couldn't help it. Although she had the best relationship with Lu Qing, it didn't mean that she would allow outsiders to bully her sisters-in-law.
When Jun Ling stood outside, he naturally had a kind of intimidating aura. One look and one would know that he was not to be trifled with.
"Ah Jian, forget it!"
Mister Emptiness waved his hand casually and gave Dai Yi a meaningful look. Then, he led his group and left.
"Those bastards!" The four-eyed man muttered, "Don't meet me in the preliminaries. I'll make them piss their pants."
Mao Zi was also very annoyed. "That's right. The first person I'm going to deal with is this deaf b * tch. Motherf * cker …"
"He was just told to break off the engagement?
What do you mean? "Ding Meng was also a little uncomfortable, that Long Jian's mouth full of shit was indeed annoying.
Lu Qing hurriedly explained, "Ding Meng, when you made trouble in the Flying Star City, not many people knew the truth. The Bai Family is very prideful, so they didn't dare to go back and say that they were forced to leave by you. Instead, they spread the news everywhere in the Blue Pole Star City that it was them who broke off the engagement with my sister-in-law. At that time, my sister-in-law and aunty were in the Green Arrow Base, so many people in the Blue Pole Star City believed it."
"Is there anyone from the Bai Family participating this time?" Ding Meng asked.
The four-eyed man immediately smelled the murderous intent in Ding Meng's words and hurriedly replied, "Yes, there are several people from the Bai Family. That Bai Nanhao you taught a lesson in the past has come out again."
Ding Meng said, "Very good!
It seems that I didn't humiliate them enough back then. "
After such an episode, everyone's happy mood was diluted a lot, but the preliminaries' test area soon appeared in front of them.
More than a dozen alloy boxing machines were placed on the lawn. All the contestants had to pass the preliminary test before they could enter the later stages of the tournament.
This kind of boxing machine was different from a boxing machine. When Ding Meng was stranded in the empire and recruited as a sparring partner, the boxing machine used for the test was a target. However, the machine used for this kind of competition was a cylindrical silver tempered drum placed horizontally on the ground. Its size was comparable to a flying car, and it could withstand a lot of speed and power.
Many of the contestants whose numbers were called by the staff were already standing in front of the drum and punching with all their strength. The screen on the workbench next to them would calculate the score based on the strength, speed, position, and other comprehensive aspects.
In fact, Ding Meng had an impression of this test. This was the pure strength score without using the origin. A beginner warrior would score 1,000 points, and a war venerable would score 10,000 points. The registration requirement was to be a war venerable. Therefore, at a glance, most of the contestants' scores were between 20,000 and 50,000 points. Occasionally, there were a few scores between 80,000 and 90,000 points, and most of them were at the level of an intermediate or advanced war venerable.
It was not that there were no high scores. A few burly men had scored more than 300,000 points. At present, the highest score shown on the screen was 2.56 million, which proved that the person had reached the level of an intermediate warlord.
"How many points do I need to enter the tournament?" Ding Meng asked curiously.
Lu Qing explained, "There is no limit to the score. The passing standard is 20,000 points, and then you can participate in the tournament. However, if you are in the top ten at this competition point, you can directly enter the next stage as a seeded contestant. You don't need to fight in the following tournament. After all, there are so many contestants. It will be very time-consuming to just wait and do nothing."
"Understood!" Ding Meng nodded. "Well, everyone, control your strength and make sure you are in the top ten."
At this moment, the staff was already shouting, "Next, contestant No. 20235950078, please get ready for the test!"
Immediately, a person swaggered into the middle of the lawn and came to the front of the boxing machine. This person was Dragon Capital's Dragon Sword, who had just fought with Four-eyed.
"Ha, it's this guy!" Maozie shouted. "Can you do it?
Scum! "
Dragon Sword glared at him. He didn't want to be distracted at this juncture. He took a lunge, shouted, and punched out fiercely. With a bang, he hit the drum.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding" a series of crisp sounds rang out as the scoreboard on the holographic screen refreshed incessantly. Immediately, cries of surprise rang out from all around as the score finally stopped at "4.66 million points". This was already the highest score for this match point.
Dragon Sword looked proud. "You two bumpkins, learn from me."
"Wahahahahaha –"
Four-eyed and Maozie suddenly laughed strangely. "You talk so big. I thought you were so f * cking powerful."
Dragon Sword glared and said, "Give me a high score if you have the ability."
To be honest, these scores were not low in the preliminaries because it was rare for a sect in Blue Pole Star City to have so many champions.
"Next, contestant 32398977776, please get ready for the test!" the staff shouted again.
"It's my turn!" Lu Qing rubbed her fists and walked out.
"Take it easy!"
Ding Meng reminded her. According to the rules, although she couldn't operate the origin and use the divine light energy, Lu Qing was strong enough. Moreover, she had honed herself on the Flame Star for three years, so she hadn't fallen behind in the past few years.
Lu Qing came to the front of the boxing machine and did not make any preparations. She gave a casual punch.
Although she said it casually, most of the people around couldn't see her movements at all. They could only hear the sound of the score being recorded. In the end, the holographic scoreboard showed the result.
"Wow!"
The crowd suddenly exploded. This gorgeously dressed "Princess Pearl" actually managed to score a high score of "15.6 million".
"Awesome!"
The four-eyed man and the Russian were immediately amused. They couldn't help but look at Dragon Sword opposite them. "Trash, you don't even have a third of his score."
With Lu Qing taking the lead, Dai Yi was more standard. When it was her turn, she walked up leisurely. She didn't even throw a punch. Instead, she used her folding fan to knock on the drum. Her speed was so slow that everyone could see it clearly.
After a series of rapid sounds, the scoreboard showed the result of "14.7 million", which naturally caused the audience to exclaim again and again.
"Miss Dai, not bad!"
Mister Emptiness slowly walked over and said meaningfully, "Unfortunately, your score is still not high enough. This kind of score can only be suppressed by me."
His words were extremely frivolous and rude, but the four-eyed man and the others didn't have time to refute because Mister Emptiness shot out like an arrow. The boxing machine made a "boom" sound and began to calculate. It was that kind of speed that people couldn't see clearly.
"20.1 million points!" The staff took the initiative to report the score. It was obvious that he was very excited. An expert had appeared in his match point.
"Oh yeah!"
The people in Dragon Capital cheered, and the audience was even more surprised. Then, there was a round of applause.
Mister Emptiness rushed back like a ghost with a smug look on his face. "Hehe, Miss Dai, I wonder if you're free tonight?
I would like to invite you to … "
"I'm not free!" Dai Yi coldly interrupted him. "I want to accompany my husband!"
Mister Emptiness was a little embarrassed to be rejected in front of so many people. He couldn't help but ask, "Who's your husband?"
"Of course it's me!" Ding Meng smiled and walked onto the lawn.
Mister Emptiness looked at Ding Meng suspiciously. This guy didn't look like he was worth more than 100 Galactic Credits. How could someone wearing such tattered clothes be qualified to be Miss Dai's husband?
He suspected that Ding Meng was a fake.
Ding Meng stood in front of the boxing machine. His posture was a little strange. Everyone else was facing the drum, but he was facing away from the machine. He then raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and gently tapped on the drum.
"Ding ding ding ding ding — — —"
The sound of the score was so loud that it made people's scalps tingle. It rang for a full ten seconds before it stopped.
The staff was stunned. "99.15 million points?"
The audience was dead silent. Everyone here was an origin ability user. Everyone understood that having a high score wasn't scary. What was exaggerated was that this guy could easily get close to 100 million points with just a tap of his finger. Was this guy the legendary battle saint?
Ding Meng smiled softly and slowly returned to Dai Yi's side. However, almost everyone looked at him with reverence in their eyes.
Mister Emptiness was also in a daze. After a long time, he woke up and carefully asked, "Referee, is there a problem with the machine?"
"There's no problem!" The person who answered him wasn't a staff member, but the incomparably cold Jun Ling in black.
Jun Ling stared at Mister Emptiness and coldly spat out three words, "Get lost!"
What followed was a series of "hualala" sounds. No one saw how Jun Ling made his move. They could only see that the huge boxing machine seemed to have been smashed by an invisible hammer. It turned into a mass of chaotic fragments in the air. A large amount of silver smoke spread out on the lawn. This situation was as if a missile from outer space had destroyed the boxing machine.
The scene of the preliminaries was suddenly silent!
