"General Liu!" After toasting with hundreds of city lords one by one and getting to know each other, Du Long sat next to General Liu again and said: "There should be more than just these city lords under Elder Zhao, right?!"

"Of course there are more!" General Liu rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "These are just the city lords who are under my brother's banner like you. There are many generals around Elder Zhao who control many city lords!"

"That's it!" Du Long suddenly nodded and said: "Do all city lords have to participate in the city lord competition?!"

"No!" General Liu knew that he was the newly appointed city lord, but he explained patiently: "Participating in the city lord competition is entirely voluntary. Usually, one hundred seed players are screened out within each faction, and then Gather together to participate in the official City Lord Competition!"

"Each faction is screened first?!" Du Long said slightly confused: "Does each protector elder count as a faction?!"

"Yes!" General Liu nodded and replied: "There are eight guardian elders in the temple, as well as ten factions of saints and saints. Each faction has tens of thousands of cities under its banner!"

"In the past City Lord Competition, a large number of City Lords were often killed or injured. Later, in order to reduce casualties, each faction selected the top 100 City Lords, and then participated in the final competition. In this way, even if there are further casualties, they will be very limited!"

"I understand!" Du Long figured it out instantly: "The competition within the same faction is relatively less intense. This is indeed a good way to reduce casualties!"

"That's right! In three days, there will be a competition within the faction for the top 100 spots. Brothers Hongwu must be fully prepared and strive to compete for one of the top 100 spots in their faction!" General Liu reminded with anticipation.

"I'll do my best!"

After the banquet ended, hundreds of city lords all checked into General Liu's Mansion, quietly waiting for the internal faction competition in three days!

Three days passed quickly. A waiter invited Du Long out early that morning. Hundreds of city lords followed General Liu and left the general's mansion and went straight to the mansion of the guardian elder Zhao Pojun.

Compared to the general's mansion, the protector elder's mansion was many times larger. The martial arts field behind the mansion quickly gathered more than 20,000 city lords.

Du Long was among the many city lords, and he didn't look outstanding at all. All the city lords were quietly waiting for the arrival of the guardian elder Zhao Pojun.

As time passed, until nearly 30,000 city lords gathered in the martial arts arena, with a loud horn sound, dozens of figures flew from the sky deep inside the mansion and landed on the rostrum of the martial arts arena.

Du Long's eyes fell on the bald man surrounded by many figures. He could see a faint smile on the corner of the bald man's mouth, giving people a rather cheerful impression.

"Haha!" On the rostrum, the bald man strode directly to the front of the stage. Facing the nearly 30,000 city lords in the martial arts arena, he laughed and said: "I am very happy that the day of the new city lord competition has come again. Today is the day for our own competition. At a time when factions are competing for the top 100 spots, I hope all the city lords here can show their strongest strength..."

Zhao Pojun began his pre-game speech, and he would habitually touch his bald head from time to time while speaking. His casual look made the already tense atmosphere at the scene much more relaxed.

"Okay! There are old people who have participated in several competitions, as well as some new city lords who have never participated. Here, I would like to re-explain the most important rule of the intra-faction competition, that is, no wanton behavior is allowed unless it is absolutely necessary. Kill any opponent! Do you understand this?!"

"Understood!"

Amidst a loud response, the battle for quotas within the faction finally began. Nearly 30,000 city lords fought in pairs, and the martial arts arena immediately fell into a melee.

According to the regulations of internal competitions, situations where the opponent is outnumbered are not allowed.

You can get one point for every opponent you defeat. Even if some people know each other and work hard in the martial arts field, it doesn't matter. Although it seems that you can grind until the later stage, if you don't have enough points, it is just a waste of time.

On the martial arts field, Du Long continued to defeat contestants one after another. During this period, he would not take the initiative to attack the city lords who were also under General Liu, and those city lords would not come to trouble him.

This is also one of the main reasons why each general summons the city lord under his own banner before the game. Only by not killing each other can the same general's banner have more opportunities to break into the top 100!

Puff, puff, puff. . .

In the martial arts arena, city lords kept having their bodies exploded, and then had to withdraw from the arena sadly!

This elimination method was very fast. Half of the contestants were eliminated in less than a quarter of an hour, and then about a third of them were left in about half an hour. After an hour, only the last thousand people were left.

There is a scoreboard next to the martial arts arena, which lists the ranking information of the top one thousand, and Du Long is ranked around 30th.

Every time his ranking rose by one, he would appropriately slow down the speed of killing enemies, and when he dropped by one, he would appropriately speed up the speed of killing enemies. In the end, his ranking fluctuated steadily around the 30th place.

As a creature from the outside world, even if he still has to attack strongly when competing for the top ten spots, he is still unwilling to take the lead prematurely in this Jinshan world.

Under the rostrum, General Liu, who was standing among hundreds of generals, had been paying attention to his ranking changes. Seeing that Du Long seemed unwilling to compete for a high ranking within the faction, he just sighed and did not blame him. mean.

Du Long, on the other hand, has maintained a stable ranking and finally succeeded in breaking into the 29th place of his faction!

Zhao Pojun, the guardian elder on the rostrum, did not pay special attention to Du Long's performance on the field until the end of the competition for quota within the faction.

The participating city lords who were able to squeeze into the top 100 places were not stupid. After seeing one or two strong city lords take the initiative to challenge and lose to Du Long, no one was willing to bite his hard nut.

After all, this is just a competition for quota among internal factions. There is no need to trouble a very low-key and powerful person. If it fails, it will be more than worth the gain!

"Very good!" After successfully selecting the top 100 people in this faction, Zhao Pojun stood in front of the stage again: "Congratulations to the city lords who have obtained the top 100 people, and I also hope that you can compete in the city lord competition ten days later. , strive for good results for our faction!"

"This protector hereby guarantees that those contestants who can get good rankings in the finals will be given heavy rewards within the faction!!"

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Although Zhao Pojun did not say on the spot what treasures will be rewarded, but just looking at the rewards of previous City Lords Competition, it is enough for the participating City Lords to work hard for it!

After some encouragement, the internal faction competition officially ended. Each general led his participating city lords to leave the Zhao Mansion.

"Haha! Brother Hongwu really lived up to expectations and won the 29th place in the internal competition for quotas. Let's go! Today, Brother Liu and I will invite everyone to go out and enjoy it!" General Liu excitedly slapped Du Long on the shoulder and said to Many city lords around me extended invitations.

In this competition for quotas, among the hundreds of city lords under General Liu, only Du Long stood out and won the 29th place in the competition, while all the other city lords were eliminated!

It can be seen that although it is only a competition for hundreds of places among internal factions, the competition is still extremely fierce. In the end, out of the hundreds of city lords under General Liu, only Du Long advanced to the top hundred.

Under the leadership of General Liu, hundreds of people came to an extremely luxurious restaurant in the main holy city and chose a banquet hall that could accommodate hundreds of people.

Hundreds of people gathered in a banquet hall. The hall had a wide view and could see the beautiful scenery of the restaurant garden and the guests who came and went frequently.

The open competition of the City Lord Contest is about to begin. Guests from all walks of life have gathered in the entire Holy City, including teams like Du Long who have just participated in the internal faction competition.

The huge restaurant has a large number of banquet halls, and there are sounds of people drinking and drinking from all directions. Many of the halls are celebrating the city lords who have won the quota for the competition.

Du Long and others were in the banquet hall. As the only person under General Liu who had qualified for the competition, Du Long naturally became the target of everyone's toast.

He would not refuse the enthusiastic toasts of the city lords. With his cultivation at the peak of the six-star realm, his drinking capacity was naturally enough to cope with this situation.

Just when the banquet atmosphere in their banquet hall reached its peak, a large group of unfamiliar faces rushed in from outside the hall. Anyway, they were all guys whom Du Long didn't know.

"Yo?! Isn't this General Liu under Zhao Pojun's Protector?! Look at this posture... Has a city lord under your command finally made it into the top 100 and won a place to participate in the city lord competition?!"

Surrounded by many figures, a brown-haired man with a hooked nose and a feminine face stood out from the crowd, looking at General Liu on the throne with a mocking smile.

"Ouyang Jing!" General Liu looked at the man with a hooked nose with an ugly face and said, "You are not welcome here! Please leave immediately!!"

Just from the conversation between these two people, you can hear the strong smell of gunpowder. The eagle-nosed Ouyang Jing did not mean to leave immediately, but continued to speak arrogantly: "It's impossible to leave. I don't want to be here." If something happens during the City Lord Competition, please give me this banquet hall as soon as possible!"

"Stop!" General Liu scolded angrily without hesitation: "Go where it's cool and cool down! Don't interfere with my elegance here!"

"Are you planning to make a toast instead of eating the fine wine?!" Ouyang Jing had no intention of giving in, and continued to threaten in a sinister tone: "Believe it or not, your current celebration banquet will be held after the City Lord Competition. It turns into a funeral feast?!”

This sentence is a bit too much. A celebration banquet was held here, but suddenly a group of people came and threatened to turn the celebration banquet into a funeral banquet. Who would be unbearable if it happened to them, right? !

"What's going on in this restaurant?!" Before General Liu could say anything, Du Long couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Guests in their own banquet hall are not even guaranteed the most basic rights and interests. Yet?!"

In fact, as early as when Ouyang Jing led people into the banquet hall, someone from the restaurant noticed and followed him.

At first they thought they were acquaintances, but now it seemed obvious that the latter party was planning to cause trouble, and Du Long also saw the restaurant managers outside the hall.

Hearing his question, the restaurant staff who had not planned to intervene had to step forward. One of them, a middle-aged man in brocade robes who was in charge of this area, walked directly into the banquet hall.

"All fights are strictly prohibited in this store. Anyone who violates the order will be expelled and never allowed to enter the store again, or will be killed on the spot!!" The middle-aged man in Jinpao shouted in a very stern tone.

His words made the atmosphere tense. Even Ouyang Jing, who had been extremely arrogant just now, had to restrain himself a little. He forced a flattering smile on his face to greet the middle-aged man in brocade robes.

"Manager Li misunderstood! I just entered your store and found that there is no suitable banquet hall. Then I came in to discuss with General Liu to see if we could give up this banquet hall to us. As long as we are willing to give up the hall, we can replace it." He pays the bill!”

"Hmm!" The middle-aged man in brocade robes looked neutral and nodded expressionlessly: "In that case, I wonder if General Liu is willing to give up this banquet hall to General Ouyang?!"

"No!" General Liu shook his head and refused without hesitation: "This general can afford a mere meal, so there is no need to trouble General Ouyang!"

"Are you looking for death?!" Old Ouyang Jing lost his temper and threatened directly in front of Manager Li: "You'd better think about it, you'd offend us to death just for a meal." What consequences will there be!"

quiet!

As Ouyang Jing spoke out his unabashed threats, the entire hall fell into silence. Everyone turned to look at Manager Li, wondering whether he would stand up and handle the matter impartially.

However, the steward of the restaurant seemed not to have heard Ouyang Jing's words, and just stood there with his eyes, nose, nose, and heart in mind without any reaction.

"Hahaha!" Du Long was directly angered by this guy's obvious behavior of favoring his opponent. He immediately laughed angrily and said: "Is this how this hotel treats its guests?! It's not okay to allow outsiders to enter the banquet hall and make rude remarks. Nothing done?!”

"Boy!" Ouyang Jing glared at Du Long fiercely and said, "You're a very smart guy. This must be your first time to shop here, right?! Do you know how many times I've shopped in this restaurant?! Only You are the guest here, so I am not the guest?!"

"General Ouyang is right!" Manager Li then took over the conversation and said: "Based on the amount of consumption, General Ouyang is a valued customer of our store. Another point is that as long as there is no internal fighting in our store, we are not in a position to interfere between guests. personal grudge!"

"What an inconvenient intervention! I don't believe it today, sir... Is this how the basic rights of guests are protected in this restaurant?!" Du Long was directly angered by the singing and singing of these two people. , he never thought that just by going out for a meal, he would cause such an unappetizing thing.
