Chapter 1727: Chapter 1333: All Junior Martial World Members, Receive One Move from Your Village Chief!
The total number of new players entering the Mixed Martial Arts World this batch exceeds thirty million.
Even though Jiang Dali had prepared in various ways to welcome the new crop of players, and even extended recruitment grounds to distant self-governing countries like Persia and Tianzhu, it was still difficult to swallow too many new players at once.
Ultimately, before the official start of the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament three days later, the statistics on the forces panel showed only a little over two million players joining.
Two million plus, while this number is considerable... compared to the total of thirty million players, it wasn’t much; nonetheless, it was a huge success, far surpassing the previously accumulated twenty thousand plus players by Black Wind Village.
Jiang Dali was not surprised by this; a player count of over two million had already met his psychological expectations.
After all, the thirty million plus players entering the Mixed Martial Arts World may seem large in number, but when scattered into remote corners of the various vassal states, they are like a stream merging into the ocean, soon disappearing without a trace.
Black Wind Village’s success was due to the widespread distribution of sub-branches paired with ample manpower for recruitment tasks.
Moreover, in the days following, undoubtedly there would be players from other regions rushing to nearby sub-branches of Black Wind Village due to the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament; these players are future potential forces, even if unable to become Mountain Village members, they could become disciples of the Eight Desolates.
...
Within the spacious Dragon Palace, Jiang Dali sat alone in the center, scrutinizing the points on his panel, now accumulated to ten million for Cultivation Points and nearly twenty million for Potential Points.
Over these three days, both Cultivation and Potential Points have grown significantly, but due to self-destructing four strands of the Divine Fragment three days ago resulting in damage to the Primordial Spirit, his Realm became unstable, costing nearly two million Cultivation Points to restore stability.
Now that the Realm is stable and Cultivation Points are sufficient, it is time to officially break through into the Returning to Truth 9th Realm; only with greater strength can he remain composed when facing the inexplicable crisis and malice sensed in earlier days.
However... before that, as the time has come, it is necessary to first ensure the successful hosting of the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament.
Opening the Jianghu Forum, Jiang Dali saw that forum preparations for regional arena competitions in each district had entered the preliminary stages.
Over at the Dragon Tiger Gang, knowing he was stationed there and along with famous NPCs like Xiao Feng, Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong Zhaixing acting as mentors and gatekeepers guiding players, many players hurried to register for the competition, leading to over forty thousand players in the Dragon Tiger Gang’s district, looking overwhelmingly crowded.
At this moment, the deafening noise outside was incessant; the closer the time approached for the tournament to begin, the more excited the players became.
New players wandered through the bustling streets of the Dragon Tiger Gang, observing old players bearing the "Black Wind Village" title coming and going, all with looks of envy.
New members can only be considered ’errand runners’, unable to attain the formal mountain bandit status and thus cannot earn the associated Black Wind Village title, making it hard to walk with swagger.
Only by completing tasks and earning contribution points at Mountain Village and learning any Martial Arts can one become a formal mountain bandit and gain the Black Wind Village title.
Compared to new players’ curiosity about their surroundings, old players were busy preparing for the pre-competition war assembly.
Among old players, those affiliated with Black Wind Village only constituted a small fraction.
More were experts from other sects throughout the Martial World, including Eight Desolate Disciples who openly removed their masks.
This World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament was an invitation extended to all Abnormal People of the vassal states, apart from specially invited sect NPCs guiding them; it was a tournament gala for players regardless of sect.
Hence, Eight Desolate Disciples could openly participate in the tournament without needing masks, and certainly could not use low tactics like lime powder, itching powder, or other unconventional Hidden Weapon methods during matches.
Some renowned players labeled as "Lime Martial Saint", "Itchy Flirt" would undoubtedly see their combat effectiveness severely reduced.
With the tournament about to commence, numerous players remained puzzled and baffled.
The reason being the tournament’s process was disclosed long before the start.
The first stage was the so-called preliminary elimination round.
In this phase, players did not need to compete in a ring for promotion slots; instead, they would collectively enter the corresponding preliminary selection area, where an expert specially arranged by Black Wind Village would simultaneously attack all players. Those who withstand without entering a heavily injured state within a given time passed the preliminaries.
As a result, the tens of thousands of players gathered at the Dragon Tiger Gang all developed a significant doubt.
What NPC could simultaneously attack tens of thousands of competing players?
How would they attack?
Faced with such questions, experienced professional players had already speculated some tentative answers.
The first possibility is that the Black Wind Village might send out experts of the Heavenly Human Realm to release the pressure of a Heavenly Person. Under this immense pressure, many players might not withstand it and could enter a state of continuous blood loss, eventually leading to a severely wounded state within a certain time, resulting in being eliminated.
However, it is well known that the pressure released by experts of the Heavenly Human 1st Realm can only affect enemies within a thirty-zhang range, causing mental intimidation and Qi-Blood damage. Beyond this, the damage still exists but significantly weakens.
By this analogy, even the pressure released by experts of the Heavenly Human 9th Realm can only affect enemies within a three-hundred-zhang range, causing mental intimidation and Qi-Blood damage.
However, the Dragon Tiger Sect’s hundreds of thousands of players are distributed across ten Sea Selection Areas, with each area exceeding three hundred zhang, nearly a thousand zhang.
Therefore, this speculation doesn’t fully hold unless the Black Wind Village can find at least thirty experts of the Heavenly Human 9th Realm to act simultaneously, which would be quite a large-scale endeavor.
The second speculation is that the Black Wind Village might invite musical experts from the Sky Zither Sect to use a wide-range music attack strategy to eliminate players during the selections. This guess is more reliable and has gained consensus among many players.
However, considering the vast spread of the ten Sea Selection Areas, even the famous Qin Mo might not be able to cover everything with music. Besides, players from the Murong Qingqing Fan Club have already revealed that Qin Mo Murong Qingqing is currently stationed in Divine Iron City and won’t appear at the Dragon Tiger Gang.
Up to now, with all sorts of speculations, the tens of thousands of players in the Dragon Tiger Gang are still baffled, not knowing whether to prepare cotton to block their ears, drink some deer antler wine to replenish blood and energize before the match, or maybe do both.
Until the time for the preliminary selections approached, under the arrangements and mobilizations of various Black Wind Village NPCs, nearly 350,000 players out of more than 400,000 in the Dragon Tiger Gang entered the nearby selection areas.
In an instant, the entire Dragon Tiger Gang was deserted, with a large number of players gathered in designated selection areas, looking around and discussing fervently, completely unaware of what was about to happen.
"I guess this one selection area has to squeeze in thirty to forty thousand people. The ten selection areas are spread over almost ten thousand mu of land, except for our village chief, I really can’t think of anyone else who can strike at all of us simultaneously."
"Shit, now that you mention it, it does seem like it, but it doesn’t seem like the Black Wind Village Chief has any big moves that can simultaneously attack all ten areas over such a massive land, right?"
"Is Brother Da Li going to lift ten mountains and crush us to death? Shivering!"
"Don’t talk nonsense! If it really is the village chief acting, it might still be pressure. With the village chief’s Returning to Truth Realm strength beyond the Heavenly Person, we can’t fathom it; maybe his pressure can cover such a wide area."
"It seems like out of all the selection areas, our Dragon Tiger Sect side gathered the most people. No wonder the village chief is personally stationed here, maybe he anticipated it long ago."
"The village chief’s actions always lack restraint. If he applies slightly more force, wouldn’t we skip the severely wounded stage and just die directly?"
"It shouldn’t be. If participating in the martial arts tournament ends up with us dying at the village chief’s hands, it would disgrace the Black Wind Village. Enough talking, there’s two minutes before it starts, I’ll log off and take a crap."
"Damn! Can you finish taking a crap in two minutes? Your ass isn’t even ready."
While the players were collectively stirring up a fuss, inside the Dragon Palace, Jiang Dali fastened his cloak, donned his imposing Iron Nail Bracelet, and walked leisurely from the center of the hall towards the outside.
Standing by the railing, his clear tiger eyes overlooked the vast gathering of players in the ten selection areas below. His thick brows, exuding rough male charm, slightly raised, and his thin lips suddenly curled as he placed his forefinger and thumb in a ring shape against his mouth and blew sharply.
The whistle resounded far and wide.
Boom!!——
A massive wave arc suddenly surged on the shimmering surface of the river below, followed by a "boom" as the water burst skyward. The enormous dark green body of the Demon Dragon, gleaming cold and hard under the sunlight, flew up, its scales and claws soaring, heading straight for Jiang Dali.
Jiang Dali lightly tapped the ground with both feet, his body shooting skyward like a cannonball. He landed steadily on the Demon Dragon’s back, bending his knees for a soft landing. Amidst the shocked and awe-inspiring gazes of players below from afar, he took the stage, heading straight for the river’s center. His black cloak fluttered on the dragon’s back, majestic and domineering, issuing a proclamation that could be heard near and far.
"The Dragon Tiger Gang’s Sea Selections elimination will be personally conducted by this village chief!"
Jiang Dali’s nose was straight, symbolizing a strong, decisive iron heart, as he suddenly looked down at the tens of thousands of players spread over thousands of mu of land below and shouted in a deep voice,
"All Martial World juniors!"
"Receive——""One move from this village chief!"...
