In the blink of an eye, the round-robin tournament was about to begin. The draw ceremony had also been completed. Huang Yuanlang brought the draw results.
The result of the draw was actually quite good for Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiu Xiu. The best thing was that they were in the same group.
Yes, in a group.
The entire lottery process was carried out randomly. No matter which city or family the winners came from, the lottery was conducted in a random order.
The ones who can enter the round-robin tournament are the top 100 from the elimination rounds. Except for the upper dragons, almost all of them are the top dragons from the middle dragons. Even if the lower dragons perform well in the elimination rounds and eventually become dragons, they will not be able to enter the next round.
Each group has ten contestants, and the round-robin tournament is equivalent to playing nine games. This is the best way to assess overall strength. The top three in the final group will enter the final stage and also have the qualification to be assessed as a future dragon knight.
The competition will undoubtedly be extremely fierce. Whether or not you can qualify in the round-robin tournament is crucial. Therefore, even if it is not the knockout round, it will definitely be very fierce. All the upper dragons will definitely try their best in the round-robin tournament.
The most important reason why it is a good thing for Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu to be in the same group is that they can take care of each other. The effect will be much better than if Bai Xiuxiu is in a group alone.
The round-robin tournament is played one game a day, with no rest time in between. In other words, the opponent that Lan Xuanyu has played against is likely to be the one Bai Xiuxiu will face in the next game. This gives them a lot of room for maneuver. At the same time, Lan Xuanyu will also play against Bai Xiuxiu, and he can also let Bai Xiuxiu win one more game.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Lan Xuanyu is strong enough to defeat other opponents in the group.
"I have researched the information of the contestants in your group for the past two days. It is very important, and I will analyze it for you one by one. This will be very helpful in formulating tactics. If you can be in the same group, the possibility of qualifying together will be much greater. My father and I have already discussed it, and you may have to use more aggressive tactics."
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu looked at each other, and Lan Xuanyu asked, "What suggestions does the clan leader have?"
Huang Yuanlang narrowed his eyes and said, "There are many strong people in my group. I will definitely not qualify. So it depends on you. There are also a few strong people in your group. To be honest, I don't know if you can defeat them. Especially Xiuxiu. So, Xiuxiu, your goal is to compete for the third place and get as many points as possible from the weaker players. With Lan's help, you still have a chance. Lan, your role is crucial to whether Xiuxiu can qualify. When facing an opponent you can defeat, try to injure the opponent as much as possible so that he can't recover in the next game. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lan Xuanyu's eyes moved and he nodded.
Of course he understood what Huang Yuanlang meant. If he could severely injure his opponents, it would become much easier for Bai Xiu Xiu to defeat these opponents later.
Huang Yuanlang said, "In order for you to qualify this time, the family also spent a lot of effort. We cannot interfere with the drawing of lots. The dragon knights personally supervised the drawing process. But we spent a lot of money to adjust the subsequent rankings. In the first game, Xiuxiu will face the strongest opponent in your group. In the next three rounds, it will be the weakest three. And Lan, the opponents you will face in the first three games will be the weakest three. The order is the same as Xiuxiu. In other words, in the first game, Xiuxiu, you will take the initiative to admit defeat, and in the next three games, you will have the possibility of winning consecutive games. In addition, Lan will give you one game. You will have four wins."
"According to past rules, if you want to enter the top three, you need to win six games to be relatively stable. In the next few games, you will face two games where the Blues play first and you play later. You must do your best to win these two games. As long as you win, you will basically be able to qualify."
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu were both a little surprised. They had never thought that the Royal Family could interfere with the ranking order of the round-robin tournament. The difference in this order was a huge change. It could be said that it was tailor-made for Bai Xiuxiu.
Huang Yuanlang also felt the gazes of the two and smiled, "This was not only done by the family. At the same time, it also got the support of Lord Luo Lan. Otherwise it would not be so easy to operate. Lord Luo Lan was very happy to know that you signed a thousand-year contract with the family. He praised you for being grateful and repaying kindness. He will strongly support you to become dragon knights in the future. And Xiuxiu, as Lan's mount, is the best way for you to enter the top 30 with you. After the top 30, you can ride the mount to fight."
"However, there are a few points that need to be explained in advance. First, if Xiu Xiu fails to win in the previous games, you should not give up the last game. Second, if you make an unexpected mistake, you don't have to give up the last game to ensure that you can qualify. It is most important that you can qualify. Finally, if you can qualify together, then you must strive to enter the top six in the final stage. The rewards for entering the top six will be very generous. You should have felt the benefits of dragon crystals and dragon marrow. The top six will be rewarded with dragon crystals or dragon marrow. The higher the ranking, the richer the reward. What's more, Lan, you will also have a special reward of entering the Dragon Realm once if you win the first place. This has not been available before. Lord Luo Lan asked me to tell you that if you can get the first place, he will also have a gift for you."
Lan Xuanyu nodded. The benefits of signing the Millennium Contract became apparent at this time. The royal family was open-hearted to them, and they also had the potential support of the Black Dinosaur Knight Luo Lan.
But do we really want to compete for the first place? Lan Xuanyu went to Bai Xiuxiu. He had promised Bai Xiuxiu.
Bai Xiuxiu smiled at him, then asked Huang Yuanlang, "Brother, if we win first place, as a dragon, can I also enter the dragon world with my sister?"
Huang Yuanlang smiled and said, "Of course you can. In a sense, the dragon mount itself is a part of the dragon rider. This is your common honor."
"Okay. Then we will definitely do our best." As she spoke, she smiled at Lan Xuanyu.
Wherever you are, there I am. Live and die together!
Lan Xuanyu's mind was filled with Bai Xiu Xiu's past words, and he already understood her intentions.
"Let's not dream about winning the championship right now. Let's just go through each level one by one. The round-robin tournament is already a very difficult process. Your group may not be as scary as my group, but the opponents are also quite strong. I'll introduce them to you one by one."
"In your group, there are two middle-level dragons. Although they are both the best among the middle-level dragons, I believe that at least Lan will have no problem dealing with them. They are also the two we arranged for Xiu Xiu to play in the first three games. I won't introduce them in detail. Lan, as long as you don't show mercy, Xiu Xiu will have no problem dealing with them. Then let's talk about the third-to-last one in terms of strength."
"The third from the bottom is from the upper dragon clan. His strength is probably about the same as mine." At this point, Huang Yuanlang blushed slightly and continued: "His name is..."
At that moment, he began to analyze the opponents for Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu one by one. It must be said that the Royal Family attached great importance to this Shenglong Competition and conducted a very in-depth investigation of Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu's group opponents.
As he listened to his story, Lan Xuanyu's face began to become more serious. Especially when Huang Yuanlang talked about the various abilities that the upper dragons were good at, he couldn't help but frown. The strength of the opponent was obvious. Qi Tianlong was not the only favorite to win. There were actually quite a few people at the same level as him.
