When Ling Xiao arrived at the Arena, the finals had already been going on for nearly half an hour.
The finals adopt a challenge format.
In other words, the 110 people participating in the finals can challenge those with higher rankings based on their original rankings.
However, there is a restriction here. A challenge cannot cross a maximum of ten people.
This is also to prevent a warrior from being caught in a wheel battle.
After all, the disciples of the Genius Hall at this stage do not have much Gang Qi. If they are challenged continuously, the possibility of losing is relatively high.
In addition, only low-ranked disciples can challenge high-ranked disciples. This is to prevent some high-ranked disciples from leaking personal revenge and deliberately humiliating low-ranked disciples.
According to such rules, even if you arrive half an hour late, it will not affect the overall rhythm of the game.
"Ling Yihang challenged Ling Dapeng and won, currently ranked sixth!"
Ling Xiaotian's voice rang out in the athletic square. As the head of the Ling family and the top expert of the Ling family, the fact that he could personally preside over this finals shows the importance of this game.
Ling Xiao looked up and saw that there was only one competition stage in the huge venue, but this competition stage was obviously larger than the previous one, and the protective wall was also stronger.
It is estimated that during the knockout round, Ling Yihang's battle with Ling Xiao destroyed the competition platform and made the senior officials of the Ling family a little uneasy, so for the sake of safety, the protective wall was strengthened.
Sitting close to the competition stage were supposed to be one hundred and ten disciples participating in the competition, but at this time there were two empty stools.
One belongs to Ling Feifan.
One belongs to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao noticed that Ling Yihang, Ling Yixue, Ling Tieshou, and Ling Fei had all already challenged, because four of them had entered the top 100, and Ling Yihang had risen to sixth place.
Ling Yixue also entered the top twenty.
"Judges, my disciple Ling Xiao came a step late because he encountered some difficult things. I hope you can give me a chance."
Ling Xiao knew that he was late, so he was naturally in the wrong.
No matter what the reason is, it is definitely not good to be late, so your attitude is more sincere and humble.
"Hey, Ling Xiao is here, the bottom disciple who ranked first in the knockout round!"
"Let me go, how did this cultivation reach the peak of the fourth level of martial arts? His improvement is too fast."
"I'm late, I guess I'm practicing."
Ling Feifan hadn't arrived yet, so Ling Xiao's appearance naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"The state has national laws, and families have family rules. No matter how good your previous results in the knockout rounds were, since you are late, it means that you have voluntarily abstained and are no longer eligible to participate."
Although the chief referee was very optimistic about Ling Xiao, he had to shake his head. If a family loses its rules, it will not be able to last long, and it will definitely be the beginning of chaos.
Ling Xiao secretly smiled bitterly. Although he had expected this to happen, he was still a little disappointed when he heard the result.
Can he not be disappointed? If he gets first place, he can enter the library and steal books. What he urgently needs now is a set of top martial arts and top soul cultivation secrets, but he doesn't have them yet.
He was about to turn around and leave when suddenly another figure appeared, directly jumped over everyone, and flew to the number one seat.
"It's Ling Feifan!"
"What an amazing Qinggong movement!"
"No. 1 in the Genius Hall is No. 1, so handsome!"
"But he is also late. Can he continue to compete?"
"Probably not. Ling Xiao can't even compete. If he can compete, wouldn't that break the rules?"
"What qualifications does Ling Xiao have to compete with Ling Feifan? The number one in the knockout round is just the number one in the garbage. How can he compare with the number one in the Genius Hall?"
Hearing such discussions, Ling Xiao's steps to leave stopped again. He wanted to see what these senior officials of the Ling family would do.
"Hahaha, Feifan, you're late, but it doesn't matter, you are a special one, the rules can't limit you!"
When the referee saw Ling Feifan, a smile appeared on his face and he laughed.
"Thank you, the chief referee, and thank you all the referees!"
Ling Feifan didn't stand up, he just sat there and cupped his hands with his arrogant attitude, as if he was already the number one master of the Ling family.
"Wait!"
Ling Xiao suddenly shouted, "Chief referee, I thought you were just doing business. That Ling Feifan came later than me. He is qualified to participate. Why am I not qualified?"
The chief referee was also a little embarrassed. He was about to speak when one of the referees sneered, "Who do you think you are? Ling Feifan is the number one genius in the genius hall and the number one genius in the Ling family. It is related to the prosperity of the Ling family. Our future depends on him, so we naturally have to give him a chance. Are you qualified to compare with him?"
"good!"
Before Ling Xiao could speak, another voice rang out. This was from Ling Shisan in the audience.
Ling Shisan's face was very gloomy.
He stood up and said, "Everyone knows that Fei Fei is a key disciple of our Ling family. He enjoys privileges in the Ling family. You, Ling Xiao, are not worthy enough to carry his shoes, but you dare to compare with him?"
Ling Xiao frowned, this person was really shameless.
He was almost certain that the person who bribed the black scarf thief to kill him was Ling Shisan.
He hasn't settled the score with Ling Shisan yet, but this person actually dares to be unforgiving. It seems that Ling Shisan must be eliminated as soon as possible.
"Yes, what is Ling Xiao? He is just a low-level disciple. He won the first place in the knockout round by relying on conspiracy and trickery. Doesn't he know that the sky is high and the sky is high?"
"That is, there is no absolute fairness in this world. I want to give you privileges unless you win Ling Feifan."
"Hahaha, he still wants to win against Ling Feifan, but he may not even be able to pass Ling Yun's test."
There are many people in the family who take pleasure in misfortunes.
After all, a dark horse like Ling Xiao who comes directly from the bottom is very unpopular with the privileged class.
Naturally, they want to add insult to injury.
"snort!"
Suddenly remembering with a cold snort, Mr. Ling stood up.
He squinted his eyes and glanced at everyone. Immediately many people became silent and did not dare to speak.
"Just now I heard someone say that there are state laws and family rules. Ling Feifan can break the rules, why can't Ling Xiao. If you treat everyone equally, let Ling Feifan also withdraw from this finals."
The second master Ling once wanted to win over Ling Feifan, but was rejected because Ling Feifan was arrogant and did not pay attention to everyone except Mr. Ling.
And he succeeded in wooing Ling Xiao, so at this time, he naturally wanted to speak for Ling Xiao.
"How can second brother say that? Ling Feifan is white jade, and Ling Xiao is just a stubborn stone. How can they be compared?"
Ling Jiu stood up and objected.
"enough!"
Ling Xiaotian couldn't stand it anymore. As soon as he spoke, all the discussions stopped.
"Ling Xiao, I can give you a chance. As long as you can beat any one of these one hundred and ten people, I will let you compete, okay?"
As the clan leader and the number one expert in the clan, Ling Xiaotian's eyesight was not bad. He did not want to offend Ling Feifan, nor did he want to offend Ling Xiao.
This is the future hope of the Ling family, so everyone should be convinced by such a middle-of-the-road strategy. </div>
