After the audition finals, Du Gang once again had an extra month. The reason this time was the same as last time. The competition in other competition areas of the same level was not completed.
Even if there is an arena qualifying match later, there is still plenty of time.
In the past month, Du Gang had basically been in the killing field.
In one month, he conducted a total of nearly two million fights.
Each game can take a few seconds if it's fast, and it can take up to ten minutes if it's slow.
The effect is very good. After one month, his sharp arcane training progress has reached 40%. Although it is not as fast as critical strike arcane, it is not too slow.
On this day, the arena qualifying competition finally began.
For Du Gang, the importance of this qualifying match is actually not high, because winning or losing in the qualifying match will not affect his advancement to the knockout rounds.
However, for these local emperors, this qualifying match is crucial.
This is related to their family's honor and their position with other emperors.
Of course, Du Gang doesn't care. He is also very enthusiastic about the reward of 10,000 Hengjing for the first place.
Ten thousand Hengjing is enough for him to redeem all the remaining skills.
The rules of the arena qualifying competition were also announced.
100 to 64: Everyone is randomly matched in pairs. In addition to the basic 100-point reward, the winner will also receive additional points based on the time it takes to defeat the opponent. After ten rounds of competition, the top 64 people in the points ranking will receive Qualification.
64 into 32: The same rules as above, the only change is that this time, each player only needs to fight twice. Players with two consecutive wins will be directly promoted, players with two consecutive losses will be directly eliminated, and the remaining players with one win and one loss will compete. Remaining promotion spots.
32 to 16: A group of 8 people are divided into four groups. Each group will play seven games in a single round-robin. The four players with the most wins in each group will advance. If they meet players with the same victory, extra games will be required.
16 to 8: A group of 4 people are divided into four groups. Each group plays three games in a single round-robin. The two players with the most wins advance.
8 into 4: A group of 4 people are divided into two groups. The group will play three games in a single round-robin, and the two players with the most wins will advance.
Championship match: 4 people are divided into two groups, and there will be a winning and losing match within the group. The losers in the two groups will compete for third place. The winners of the two groups will compete for the championship match, and the winner will be the final champion.
Looking at these complicated rules, Du Gang was stunned for a moment, "What the hell? Why does it feel more complicated than the previous games?"
Balala smiled and said: "Complexity is normal. For the residents of Bailong Mountain, the arena qualifying match is the game that they can really watch with excitement..."
"Because, in the previous games, there were no specific battle videos, only a numerical ranking..."
"This time, not only will the video of the arena qualifying match be released, but it will also be broadcast live... "
"At that time, various commentaries for various programs will appear. People can watch the game and listen to the commentary according to their favorite commentary... "
"Of course, the most important thing is profit. The arena qualifying match can be said to be the biggest handicap in Bailong Mountain. A large number of people bet on every game..."
"How about it, do you want to pressure yourself?"
Balala said with a smile.
Du Gang thought for a while, then shook his head and refused.
This time is different from the Milky Way. In the Milky Way, he is invincible and the strongest, so he can play no matter how he plays.
But this time, there is really no guarantee. He has watched the competition of the previous fifty first emperors, and they are all very strong. Even he may not be able to win.
"Okay, it's best not to pay attention if you don't want to press. Then go in, it's about to start!"
Du Gang nodded and entered the virtual universe again.
This time, he was still transported to an independent space.
In the sky, hanging high are the words 100 nearly 64, and a points ranking list.
This time's ranking list is not related to the previous points. The game will be re-matched and the points will be re-recorded. In addition to allowing 100 players to advance to 64, this time's points can also be regarded as a criterion for judging ties.
After all, there are many times when the ten-minute game ends and neither side can win. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to score points and determine the outcome of the game based on the high and low...
After a short wait, all one hundred contestants were in place.
[Random matching, start!]
Following an order from the system, one hundred contestants were put into fifty arenas, in pairs, ready to compete.
After Du Gang arrived at the ring, he was still standing unable to move.
His opponent is not too strong, and his previous points ranking was roughly in the 80th or 90th place, so he is quite lucky.
And above their heads, there was a five-minute countdown.
This time the opening time is longer, also to allow the audience to place their bets, and also to let the audience clearly understand the contestants.
This time, the detailed information of each player has been posted online.
In addition to some basic information, this time it also announced the number of games the contestants participated in and the number of wins in the final round of auditions.
Du Gang, a player in the triple realm of the gold system, first-level star level, total games played: 81 games, wins: 53 games, draws: 28 games (defeat based on points).
Basically, his draw was all about speed until the end of ten minutes.
On the Internet, people were amazed after seeing Du Gang's data.
"This is the power brought by the strongest speed. Apart from victory, there is only a draw!"
"Yes, this guy really broke into the ring qualifying match with his speed!"
Many people only saw Du Gang's speed, but not his other efforts. In fact, if Du Gang only relied on his speed, he might have been eliminated in the finals.
Compared with Du Gang's mediocre record, the records of others are a bit gorgeous.
Chen Feng, a fourth-level wind player, ninth-level star level, total games played: 62 games, wins: 62 games.
His record was very gorgeous. In the final stage, he basically advanced in one game. Therefore, compared with Du Gang, he had 19 fewer games.
Compared to him, Xiong Cang's record is slightly inferior.
Xiong Cang, a fourth-level fire realm player, ninth-level star level, total games played: 63 games, wins: 62 games.
Compared to Chen Feng, Xiong Cang played one more game because he lost one game.
In addition to Chen Feng, two of the released players have maintained a winning record.
Lei Qiang, a fourth-level thunder field player, ninth-level star level, total games played: 62 games, wins: 62 games.
This is a player who has been ranked third or fourth in points.
Qiao Jin, a person in the fourth level of the gold realm, a psychic master, ninth level star level, total games played: 62 games, wins: 62 games.
At this moment, on the Internet, the most popular winners are basically Chen Feng, Lei Qiang, Qiao Jin, and Xiong Cang.
Compared to the other three, Xiong Cang is still a little behind. After all, he lost a game to Qiao Jin.
Except for these people, other players have basically lost some games, so they are not as popular as these people.
… …
Five minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and fifty arenas started the competition at the same time.
Du Gang also performed his third change in the air at the beginning of the game.
This time, his opponent was a fourth-level wind domain player. After seeing Du Gang disappear, this player also chose to move at high speed.
But he didn't know that this played into Du Gang's plan. He was not afraid of the enemy moving, but he was afraid that the enemy would not move.
For this reason, Du Gang even slowed down some speed to give his opponent the illusion that he could catch up if he pursued with all his strength.
Then, after the opponent's speed increased, Du Gang quickly carried out the finishing work of using his strength to counterattack.
"Bang!"
This wind player was eliminated directly.
Time taken: 3 seconds!
At the same time, the points list has changed.
[First place, Du Gang, points: 200]
[Second place, Chen Feng, points: 0]
At this moment, the games in other arenas are not over yet. Only Du Gang is the first to finish the game and win the first victory.
At the same time, the virtual universe exploded again.
"What the hell is this Du Gang?!"
"Why is he number one again?"
"Does this guy have any secrets about points? Why does he get first place every time there are points in the competition?"
Suddenly, many people who had forgotten about Du Gang also ran to the live broadcast room where Du Gang was on the official website.
At this moment, the game is over, and Du Gang is still standing on the ring, silently waiting for the other people's games to end.
So, everyone who had just entered his live broadcast room clicked on the replay.
This is a video only three seconds long.
At the moment when the game started, Du Gang's figure disappeared in an instant on the ring.
Then, without even a fraction of a second, his opponent disappeared.
Then, there were countless shadows on the arena that no one could see clearly.
In short, these two shadows are constantly chasing each other.
Finally, at the third second, Du Gang appeared, but his opponent had disappeared.
"Damn it, what kind of fight between gods is this?"
"What on earth did I see?"
Everyone was stunned and had no idea what was going on.
At this moment, there is a special button below after the video ends.
[Slow playback 100 times: 100 White Dragon Coins]
Immediately, everyone quickly paid and watched the video again in a slow playback mode of 100 times.
This time, there was still only an afterimage in the video screen, but in the second half of the first second, everyone saw a little shadow of the wind player.
The speed of the two of them was too fast. Even if they were slowed down a hundred times, they would still be unable to see clearly. However, the wind player revealed his features in one of the frames, allowing people to see him clearly. .
"What the hell? Du Gang is on the run?"
The frame of the wind player's exposure was enough for everyone to see something.
Originally, in everyone's imagination, Du Gang must be chasing and his opponent was on the run.
The result was different from what they thought. Du Gang was on the run and his opponent was chasing him!
"This is too..."
The audience was speechless for a moment.
"Isn't Du Gang's opponent overestimating his abilities?"
"Yes, with such strength, you actually dare to chase Du Gang!"
Netizens started to complain one after another.
At this moment, they finally recognized Du Gang's strength and no longer regarded him as a triple domain player, but as a powerful player.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and the second round of random matching began again.
This time, Du Gang matched with a local player.
After waiting for another five minutes, giving the audience enough time to place their bets, the game started.
And Du Gang also quickly entered the Ten Thousand Shadow Gun mode at the beginning.
Suddenly, the entire arena was filled with the shadow of his gun.
Then, two minutes later, he successfully defeated his opponent with a 'shot against the sky'.
This time, his victory time was neither fast nor slow, in the middle. Therefore, his original ranking of first place suddenly dropped.
"call!"
Many people on the Internet breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought this Du Gang was going to start the points killing mode again!"
"Me too. I'm relieved to see his ranking drop from first place!"
In the following games, Du Gang's luck was not bad, with 6 wins and 2 draws. The two draws were judged according to points, with one win and one loss. Therefore, his final score was 9 wins and 1 loss, and he entered very easily. The top 64!
In this round of 64 to 32, opponents are still matched according to the matching system, but only two games are required.
Two consecutive wins lead to promotion, two consecutive losses lead to elimination, and one win and one loss lead to a playoff.
In the first game, Du Gang was very lucky. He was still matched with an opponent who was not too strong. After two minutes of fierce battle, he successfully won the victory.
However, in the second game, I met a guy who ranked in the top ten in points.
This time, the two fought for a full ten minutes without a winner. In the end, the winner could only be determined by points.
Du Gang's points were obviously not as high as his opponent's, so he was ultimately sentenced to lose.
This time, there are 22 players with two consecutive wins, 15 players with two consecutive losses, and the remaining 27 players with one win and one loss.
The 22 players with two consecutive wins were directly promoted to the top 32.
The 15 players who lost two consecutive games were directly eliminated.
The remaining 27 players with one win and one loss will continue to compete for the remaining 10 promotion places.
The rules of the 27-to-10 competition are very interesting.
The 27 players will be sorted according to their points, and the ten players with the highest points will defend the competition.
The remaining 17 contestants compete, each with one chance. The winner will go on stage and the loser will step down.
Du Gang's points are very interesting. He just happened to be stuck in 10th place among 27 people.
In other words, he also has to choose an arena to defend.
Ring No. 10 is the ring where Du Gang will defend the ring. Judging from the points, there is no doubt that the players in Ring No. 1 are stronger.
This time, ten stages were placed in one space, with 17 players standing under the stage.
As for the audience, what they see this time is everyone's picture.
At this moment, the 17 players are in a dilemma. They don’t know who to choose, or in other words, they don’t want to be the first choice. After all, it is beneficial to see how others fight and learn more about the situation of the defender.
In the end, it was the fire-based players who had the more explosive tempers and directly chose Du Gang on stage 10 to challenge.
Seeing someone challenging, the other 16 people naturally stopped being anxious. They all gathered around the edge of ring No. 10 and began to watch the battle.
"I am Du Gang, the ring guard on No. 10!"
"I am Huang Shi, the challenger of the 10th Arena!"
The two briefly introduced each other and started the game.
As before, Du Gang chose the gun shadow attack after the start and continued to stack critical hits.
The fire element player, after trying to chase Du Gang, gave up this useless effort and quickly launched the fourth level of the advanced 5,000-meter level.
There is indeed some gap between the ten-meter level field and the thousand-meter level field.
The arena was originally only 10,000 meters long and wide, and the 5,000-meter level occupied almost half of the arena.
This limits a large part of Du Gang's space to move back and forth.
However, using Du Gang's folding Xuan'ao and rubbing Xuan'ao, it is still not so easy to be restricted.
The opponent tried his best, but ultimately failed to catch Du Gang.
Du Gang, on the other hand, unleashed a 'god-defying shot' in the third minute.
This time, the 'shot against heaven' failed again!
The 'Heaven-defying Shot' is not really heaven-defying after all. When faced against the fourth level domain within a range of only ten meters, his effect and power are very powerful.
However, when the enemy's territory expands, the 'Heaven-defying Shot' can basically only advance about a hundred meters before being stopped by the constant suppression force.
In the previous draws, Du Gang was held back in this way: when he met an opponent with a range of more than 100 meters in the fourth level, it would be difficult to kill him.
Therefore, in the remaining time, he could only dodge and drag out the ten minutes.
[Ten minutes are up, the challenger has not won, and the challenge has failed!]
The people in the fire field were unwilling to give in, but in the end they were cleared from the arena by the system.
After seeing this situation, other challengers had given up hope of challenging the No. 10 ring.
Du Gang's speed was too fast for them to catch up, and the range level of the field was that the people present were not as good as the fire element player, so in the end, no one dared to challenge Du Gang anymore.
Just like that, he stayed in the ring boredly, watching the remaining 16 players constantly challenge other rings.
One hundred and sixty minutes later, the game ended completely, and the ten players still in the ring won the last 10 promotion places.
32 advance to 16. This time they are in a group of eight, divided into four groups in a single round-robin. Each player plays seven games, and the four strongest players advance.
This time, Du Gang seemed to have encountered the Waterloo of his life. Chen Feng and Xiong Cang, two favorites to win the championship, were in the same group as him.
In addition, the other five players are also very powerful. In other words, these people's fields are basically above the thousand-meter level.
This does not mean that people have specially cultivated the domain level, but that they have cultivated it like this unintentionally when they comprehend the mysteries.
Therefore, in the competition with these people, Du Gang played seven draws very beautifully.
That's right, even Chen Feng and Xiong Cang, the two seeded players, still couldn't defeat Du Gang, and the battle ended in a draw.
Based on the points determination rules, Du Gang's points were the lowest among those present. Therefore, after seven draws, he was ultimately judged to have lost all seven games.
"Huh!~"
"Du Gang was finally eliminated!"
"Yes, this guy simply won all the draws in our competition this time!"
In previous years, no matter any game, there was basically a win or a loss. It was rare that Du Gang could win or draw from start to finish.
In this way, Du Gang's arena qualifying competition came to an end, ranking 32nd!
After leaving the competition space, Du Gang booked a private room with Balala and started eating and drinking.
"I haven't rested for so many days. Du Gang, why don't you stop practicing today and finish this competition!"
Balala said while drinking Coke.
Du Gang thought for a while, and it was indeed true. He was so tense that he couldn't relax his nerves for a moment.
In fact, cultivation should be relaxed and moderate!
"Okay, I won't practice today. Let's see who among them can win the championship in the end!"
He is really not too anxious now. The organizing committee has announced the start time of the knockout rounds, which will be in half a year.
This means that Du Gang has half a year to practice. With his talent, in half a year, at worst, he can comprehend the sharp mysteries to perfection. If he is lucky, he may be able to comprehend another mystery to the great perfection.
When he started to watch the battle, Du Gang finally saw the true power of the telekinesis master.
Qiao Jin, the only mentalist among the top 100 players, is also the only guy who has never lost a single match from the qualifying round to the finals and the ring qualifying round.
That's right, in the 16-to-8 competition, Qiao Jin was paired with Chen Feng. Not only did he have a metal skateboard under his feet, his speed reached one-fifth of the speed of light, but he also had a weapon that was close to one-third of the speed of light. .
It is said to be one weapon, but in fact it can be described as ten thousand weapons.
The weapon used by Qiao Jin suddenly split during the confrontation with the enemy. From one flying sword, it suddenly turned into ten thousand flying swords, directly killing Chen Feng, a fourth-level wind domain expert.
This time, Du Gang felt a little chilly, because he felt that this Qiao Jin had not used his true strength. If he used it all, he might be even stronger!
Therefore, even if his speed reaches one-half the speed of light, if Qiao Jin simultaneously controls the ten thousand flying swords to pursue and intercept him at one-third the speed of light, he will not be able to escape!
"Fortunately, I have never met Qiao Jin in previous games!"
In the picture, Qiao Jin is very cold and silent. He basically only uses two methods every time. One is to step on a golden shuttle similar to a skateboard, and the other is the small sword he throws out.
Another player, Lei Qiang, who maintained a complete victory, was also defeated by Qiao Jin when he went from 8 to 4.
The final result of the game was very close to what everyone on the Internet predicted.
Qiao Jin was first, Chen Feng was second, Lei Qiang was third, and Xiong Cang was fourth.
After the game, Du Gang also received the final reward for this audition.
He ranked 32nd and the organizing committee rewarded him with 100 Eternal Crystals.
He directly exchanged these Hengjing for 1.2 million points in the company.
Including his previous 1 million points and 5 billion White Dragon Coins, the total is 2.7 million points.
Among them, 2 million points were redeemed by Du Gang for the seventh-level skill of "Critical Strike Marksmanship".
The remaining 700,000 points were exchanged for energy that his body could absorb. In the end, his body size of 10,001 meters was increased to 10,071 meters.
After finishing all this, Du Gang began to sort out his situation.
He now has a total of three kinds of techniques.
The two volumes of the "Light and Dark Secret Codex" of the light and dark system provided him with the Mysteries of Glare and Mystery of Secrets. Although these two mysteries were both in the Great Perfection state, Du Gang had never used them in the competition. It was not that he did not want to use them, but that no chance.
In the later stages of the game, after he was almost certain to advance, he never used it. He could be regarded as a trump card and used it at critical moments.
There are two volumes of the "Red Gold Spear Technique" of the gold system, one is at the sixth level and the other is at the seventh level. From them, one can understand the Mysteries of Ruijin and Gojin Mysteries. These two mysteries are also the Great Perfection.
There are two volumes of "Critical Strike Marksmanship", one is at the sixth level and the other is at the seventh level. Currently, I have only comprehended the mysteries of the critical strike and practiced it to the Great Perfection. I have not yet started to practice the seventh-level technique.
"Peak Spear Technique" is a sixth-level book. Currently, the sharp and mysterious progress has only been cultivated to 40%.
There are nine volumes of the "Nine Transformations of Soaring into the Sky" of the Space Department. As Du Gang's vision grows, he can already see that the Nine Transformations of Soaring into the Sky actually have nine mysteries, but he only comprehended two, the Mysteries of Friction and the Mysteries of Folding. For this kind of mystery, the progress of cultivation is very slow. The friction mystery has only reached a ten percent level, but the folding mystery, which he has been using, has always been in a 100% state.
After sorting out his situation, Du Gang quickly began to make plans for the next six months.
The only factor limiting his strength now is the insufficient number of domains, which results in the weight of the law domain being too low.
If he, like the other contestants, was a fourth-level player, he would be confident of competing for first place.
Therefore, this time, he planned to spend half a year cultivating the sharpness and mystery to the great perfection, reaching the level of the fourth level, and then began to concentrate on studying the seventh level of "Critical Strike Marksmanship" to strive for a further step.
Compared to practicing in the manor outside, he still prefers to stay in the living space, because it is safe enough and no one can come in without his permission.
Moreover, if someone comes looking for it, they will basically not think that he is in the storage ring. After all, the storage ring that can enable life to survive is very valuable, and the entire Bailongshan Universe Kingdom does not have it!
After explaining some trivial matters clearly to Balala, Du Gang finally stepped into the life space again and began to practice.
Thanks to Beidangyun for another reward of 600 starting coins, and thanks to Nanhuai Yuelou Chuan Yexue for a reward of 100 starting coins. Thanks!
