Two days later, as night fell, there was darkness in Dragon Sealing City.
In the courtyard where Tiandao Pavilion belongs, Jiang Chi and several other elders gathered Xiao Chenyun Kexin and Murong Chong together.
"Tomorrow the arena battle will officially begin. Four hundred people will be divided into twenty groups for two rounds of eliminations, with half of the people eliminated in each round."
"The rules for promotion are based on a points system. Players have to fight twenty games in each knockout round. Two points are awarded for a win, two points are deducted for a loss, and one point is awarded for a tie. Then they are eliminated in each group. The ten people with the lowest points.”
Jiang Chi gave the three of them a detailed introduction to some of the rules and systems of the competition, "After the two rounds of eliminations, the remaining top 100 will begin the final ranking battle. Only the top 50 will be lucky."
After hearing the rules explained by Jiang Chi, the three of them had different expressions on their faces. Yun Kexin seemed more casual.
Although she practices heaven-level techniques, her own limited talent makes it difficult for her to take full advantage of the heaven-level techniques, and she doesn't practice them for long.
The cultivation base is now only high-grade Martial King, and has not broken through to the realm of half-step Martial King. If you are lucky, you can go through two rounds of knockout rounds.
But there is absolutely no possibility of entering the top fifty and gaining luck.
Yun Kexin also understood this truth, so she took a very open mind and didn't pay much attention to it.
Murong Chong's expression looked more solemn. He had half a level of cultivation as the Martial Emperor, and he was the kind of person who was neither above nor below.
Originally, Murong Chong was very confident in his own strength. Even though he was worse than Xiao Chen, it was absolutely easy to enter the top fifty.
But after arriving at Fenglong City, I realized that my original vision was a bit too narrow. When I was trying to compete for the seed players, I was forced to retreat by Qian Wuzhao.
On the Panlong Wall, even ten seconds of support could not be achieved. All this gave Murong Chong a clear understanding of his own strength.
With his strength, it shouldn't be a problem to pass the two knockout rounds. Of course, accidents like being seriously injured as soon as he comes on the field do not include this.
But if you want to compete for the top fifty, you only have half the hope. You have to be lucky. As for competing for the top twenty, don't even think about it.
As a result, he was under greater pressure, and this was actually the time to consider his state of mind and cultivation.
If the state of mind is high, it will not affect the performance of strength, and it will even turn pressure into motivation. If there is a flaw in the state of mind, the strength will drop sharply, and you may not even be able to pass the knockout rounds.
Xiao Chen seemed relatively indifferent. He was determined and had only one goal, which was to keep going down and defeat all opponents.
Regardless of whether it is a knockout round or a ranking battle, what he wants is to go all out in every battle and defeat his opponent.
He then asked: "Have the rules of the ranking battle been released? Is it the same as the knockout round, which is also conducted in groups?"
Jiang Chi shook his head and said: "The rules of the ranking battle have been different in each year. We will notify you at short notice when the time comes. The main reason is that we are afraid that some sects will know the news in advance and exploit some loopholes."
"This kind of thing has happened before, and the impact was very bad, so from now on, the rule will be short notice after the knockout rounds."
Jiang Chi then talked about some other rules, such as on the ring, if an opponent admits defeat, he must stop attacking immediately.
If you continue to attack, you will be deprived of the qualification to compete, no matter what sect or family, Sima Lingxuan will be no exception.
In addition, offensive secret treasures cannot be used in the arena. A maximum of three auxiliary and defensive secret treasures can be worn, and the level cannot exceed the intermediate level.
The resources of large sects and small sects are completely unequal. If they are willing, every contestant can find a way to collect a complete set of top-level intermediate secret treasures.
You can crush the players from small sects solely by relying on secret treasures. Naturally, the host will not allow such a thing to happen.
As for the soul weapon, there is no limit. After all, a weapon has emotions after being used for a long time. For a swordsman or a swordsman, if you ask him to suddenly change a weapon, his strength will be reduced by more than 30%.
At the end, Jiang Chi smiled slightly and said: "It's up to people to make things happen. Just try your best and don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'm actually very satisfied with the results I have achieved now."
After dawn, everyone in Tiandao Pavilion, led by Jiang Chi and others, walked towards the Fenglei Tower in the city.
The Fenglei Platform is located in the center of the city, surrounded by a huge ring-shaped audience platform, with densely packed spectators already sitting on it.
The spectator stand is arranged from high to low from outside to inside, ensuring that every position can see the situation on the field.
"Oh no, I'm late. The competition hasn't started yet, and there's not a single spot left."
"I slept too much. I really shouldn't have slept in at this time. I'm going to miss the first day of the game. I'm depressed."
"Just accept your fate. I heard that the people inside started waiting at midnight last night, and they waited for three or four hours."
"It's such a pity that this Five Nations Tournament is probably the most exciting one in the past years, but we can't see it."
At the entrance, many warriors who were late were sighing and regretful, and their faces looked very depressed.
Xiao Chen and others don't have to worry. They have special seats for players. People within the sect can go in directly without buying tickets.
After showing their identification, reception staff immediately led Xiao Chen and others in to the players' seats.
After they sat down, they began to look at the Fenglei Terrace in the center. It was a rectangular stone platform as smooth as a mirror. It covered several thousand hectares in both directions, which was a very huge area.
There was neither wind nor thunder. At first glance, the wind and thunder platform seemed to have no characteristics other than being smooth.
Liu Suifeng said a little disappointed: "This is the Fenglei Platform, it's a bit too inferior, and how can more than 400 people compete on a flat platform."
Whoosh, boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong hunting wind suddenly blew on the field, thunder roared endlessly, wind and thunder roared like thousands of troops crossing the border, and the momentum on the stage suddenly changed dramatically.
The huge wind and thunder platform slowly rose, and after rising to a height of ten meters, it was cut into twenty competition platforms.
There is a small dragon pillar at the four corners of the competition platform. The dragon's mouth opens and spits out two purple and white rays of light. The four rays of light connect together to form a thick light curtain to protect the competition platform.
Between the light curtains, there are faint flashes of electricity and surging air. It is a barrier composed of two attributes of wind and thunder.
Yun Kexin looked at Liu Suifeng and smiled and said, "Don't you dare talk nonsense."
Liu Suifeng smiled coquettishly and said, "I don't dare anymore. He slapped me in the face right after he said that."
Jiang Chi explained: "That layer of wind and thunder barrier contains dragon energy. Under the Martial Emperor, no one can break it without using true energy. Twenty arenas correspond to twenty groups. After you are divided into groups, you can take a look at yourselves. Which arena is it on?”
"The grouping will begin soon. Please make your final preparations. After the grouping is completed, the first round of knockout matches will officially begin."
The organizer of the competition on the rostrum, the Lord of Fenglong City, Feng Shou, said loudly, with true energy added to his voice, and everyone in the huge venue could hear it clearly.
Xiao Chen began to close his eyes and rest, not thinking about other things, but suddenly he felt an extremely unfriendly gaze, with a hint of murderous intent.
Opening his eyes, Xiao Chen followed that gaze and saw Xie Zi looking at him ferociously on the seat belonging to Xieyue Pavilion.
Xiao Chen suddenly lost all interest and was too lazy to pay attention to this person. He just paid a close attention to Bai Zhan who was beside him with his eyes closed and concentrating.
Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't take him seriously at all, Xie Zi trembled with anger and gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it, let you be proud for a while first."
The people from the City Lord's Mansion came to Xiao Chen, and after asking who Xiao Chen was, they handed him a wooden sign.
There are six groups written on the front of the wooden sign, and Xiao Chen's name and appearance number are engraved on the back.
"Xiao Chen, which group are you in? I'm in group three." Yun Kexin asked after reading her wooden sign.
"Group six."
"Group seven." Murong Chong also reported his group.
In the direction of Xieyue Pavilion, Xie Zi looked at the front of his wooden sign with the words "six groups" engraved on it, and asked Bai Zhan next to him: "Senior brother, which group are you in?"
Bai Zhan's face looked very calm, and he said calmly: "I am in the thirteenth group, and you and Xiao Chen are assigned to the same group."
Xie Zi's face changed. He didn't expect to come into contact with Xiao Chen so quickly, and said: "Real or false?"
Bai Zhan sneered: "What, are you scared?"
"No, I'm a little nervous, but..."
"Sooner or later you will encounter him in a twenty-round battle. You are no match for him. If you encounter him, just let me find out more about him. Don't think about revenge. That will only make you lose worse. "
Bai Zhan ignored Xie Zi's words and said to himself.
Xie Xi was dissatisfied, but the other person was his senior brother and he didn't dare to talk back, so he had to respond: "Everything depends on senior brother."
But I secretly thought in my heart, I don't believe it. After more than a year of hard training, I still can't be his opponent. It was definitely a fluke that he could defeat him in the first place.
