The day passed quickly, and the huge competition venue was already filled with people before dawn.
Everyone knows that the truly exciting game will officially begin today. With the release of the rookie rankings, the nine top seeded players have appeared one by one.
The Five Nations Tournament will usher in one climax after another. Missing one day of the game is enough to make people regret it for a lifetime.
Of the four hundred contestants, half were eliminated in the first round, leaving two hundred contestants.
There are twenty groups, and every two groups are randomly combined to form ten groups, and each group has twenty people.
The rules of the previous round were the same, half of the people were still eliminated. It seemed that the elimination rate was not high, and at least there was an average chance.
But those who passed the first round were the best of the best. The two groups overlapped, and with the appearance of seeded players, you can imagine how difficult it was.
And only the top one hundred people can be on the True Dragon List compiled by the City Lord's Mansion, for this great opportunity to become famous.
Many players with hidden strengths will all burst out in this round to fight for honor, making the already fierce battle even more fierce.
"The original six groups merged with the ten groups to become the new five groups."
When Xiao Chen received the notice, he couldn't help but recall some of the masters in the tenth group. The tenth group seemed to be the group where the swordsman genius Lin Fei belonged.
There were many veteran experts in that group, but they were defeated by Lin Fei one by one, allowing him to qualify with a complete victory record.
And because of this, he became the rookie on the rookie list, second only to Xuanyuan Zhantian, and attracted everyone's attention.
"The seeded players have to choose the new group after the merger. I don't know which group Yue Chenxi will choose."
"Nangong Ziyue's group was combined with the nine groups to form seven groups. If she dares to accept Nangong Ziyue's challenge, she should directly choose the six groups."
"Yue Chenxi will definitely choose the seventh group, but I don't know who will choose Xuanyuan Zhantian's group. Sima Lingxuan won't be included. I really want to see which seed player will have the courage."
"I guess no one would be so stupid. We haven't reached the real finals yet. If we compete with Xuanyuan Zhantian, our strength will undoubtedly be exposed prematurely."
After the twenty groups have been combined, it is the turn of the seeded players to freely select. Free selection is also one of the benefits of seeded players.
Yue Chenxi lived up to expectations and was ranked first. He directly chose the seventh group where Nangong Ziyue was. The two women looked at each other in the air. The powerful aura clashed in the air, as if sparks were exploding.
Before the fight officially started, they started to exchange glances.
The one who chose Xiao Chen's group was Gong Yangyu from Taiyi Sect. Gong Yangyu's strength has always been very stable, not particularly top-notch among the top ten, but definitely not weak either.
The Wuji stick technique in one hand can make wind and thunder come out, and the clouds and fog disappear. He is a peaceful genius.
I’m not impulsive, I don’t take risks, and I don’t have too many characteristics of my own. I just keep walking along the road paved by my predecessors.
But beyond everyone's surprise, Liu Xiaoyun, the seed player ranked third, directly chose Xuanyuan Zhantian's group.
The goal is very obvious, just to meet Xuanyuan Zhantian who dares to challenge Sima Lingxuan without fear.
When Bai Qi saw Liu Xiaoyun's choice, he was a little disappointed and said softly: "He got ahead of me."
As the seeded players left the field one by one, only the handsome and powerful Sima Lingxuan, Fengshen, was left alone on the seat.
Without having to fight, you can automatically get on the True Dragon List, the only one who has done so in the past two years. Sima Lingxuan looked indifferent, as if everything was as it should be.
Strong self-confidence permeated the whole body, giving outsiders the feeling that only he, Sima Lingxuan, was qualified to sit here.
He is Sima Lingxuan.
Xiao Chen ignored these irrelevant things and murmured: "There are only two real masters in the five groups, Lin Fei and Gong Yangyu. I don't know how much I can use my strength."
"The first battle of the five groups, Lin Fei versus Jian Qiushui."
As time passed, the first battle of the five groups officially began. Lin Fei, who was second on the rookie list, faced off against Jian Qiushui of the Sun and Moon Sword Sect.
Jian Qiu Shui was a strong player ranked 30th in the last Five Nations Tournament. He had fought with Lin Fei before and barely managed to survive ten moves to lose.
Naturally, Jian Qiushui could not make any big progress in one day. Without any big surprise, he was defeated by Lin Fei in seven moves.
"The second game between Xiao Chen and Ma Yuan."
The competition passed quickly, and it was his turn in the second round. With a slight swing, Xiao Chen floated to the competition stage and calmly looked at Ma Yuan opposite.
As an elite disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, although Ma Yuan lost to Lin Fei, he was very unconvinced by the defeat.
He just lost to Lin Fei's weird sword skills. If other rookies were there, they would be his opponents. He, Ma Yuan, was definitely not a stepping stone for newcomers.
Holding back his anger, he wanted to prove his strength again. When he saw Xiao Chen, who was ninth on the rookie list, he immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, thank you for giving me this opportunity to prove myself again."
Xiao Chen was speechless in his heart. You want to prove that you have nothing to do with me. What you said was arrogant, as if victory was his before the war started.
"Xiao Chen, who is ninth on the rookie list, faces Ma Yuan. This is really interesting."
"Many people thought that there were no top players in the original six groups. Xiao Chen's unbeatable record was very disappointing. I heard that many people were not satisfied with him being on the rookie list."
"The battle with Ma Yuan will allow us to see what his true level is, and whether the ninth in the rookie rankings is a wasted reputation."
The second battle of the five groups unexpectedly attracted the attention of many people. Apparently because of the rookie rankings, more eyes began to stare at Xiao Chen.
"Take the move and let the world be bathed in blood!"
Ma Yuan shouted loudly. This time he did not use the starting move of the Blood Shadow Sword Technique, but directly used one of the most powerful killing moves in the Blood Shadow Sword Technique.
Obviously he was a little anxious, wanting to defeat Xiao Chen in the shortest possible time and gain the honor he lost from Lin Fei.
The sky was filled with blood and murderous intent. Ma Yuan jumped into the air, with an aura that could split a mountain. Containing this boundless murderous intent, Ma Yuan fell towards Xiao Chen head-on.
clang!
Xiao Chen held the knife in his left hand without taking it out of the sheath. He raised it slightly and blocked the powerful and heavy knife with a bang. His footsteps did not move at all, and he did not take a step backward.
Ma Yuan's brain was briefly distracted. How could it be possible that his killing intent with just one sword could make ordinary warriors temporarily avoid the edge? It was even more powerful.
But Xiao Chen raised his hand to block it, completely beyond his expectation, and those murderous intentions were like a sea of dust, without any ripples.
Xiao Chen was waiting for this opportunity. He held the handle of the knife with his right hand and pulled out the Moon Shadow Knife in an instant.
The powerful murderous artistic conception immediately overwhelmed Ma Yuan's menacing murderous intent.
The murderous aura he was proud of was as ridiculous as a child's in front of Xiao Chen.
clang!
Ma Yuan sheathed his sword to resist, but was blown away by the huge vitality contained in Xiao Chen's blade. The energy and blood in his body was churning endlessly.
Wash the world with blood!
Undefeated, Ma Yuan shouted in his heart, suppressing the churning energy and blood in his body, and used another blood shadow sword technique to kill Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen said softly: "I still want to stand up, can I do it?"
The purple crystal cyclone in the body rotates rapidly, and the surging energy condenses on the blade, and crystal-like electric light appears on the slender blade.
He swept across with his sword and knocked Ma Yuan away again. The murderous intent of the blood shadow sword technique was broken and its power was suddenly reduced.
He still wanted to fight Xiao Chen head-on, but there was no such chance. He let out a light drink and took the initiative to kill Xiao Chen with the Moon Shadow Sword.
Bang bang bang!
The sword flashed, and the surging energy let out a roar that shook the sky. Xiao Chen slashed three times in a row without giving Ma Yuan a chance to reply.
Directly use the strong vitality foundation to break the opponent's murderous intention and fight head-on.
After three moves, the suppressed injuries in Ma Yuan's body violently burst out, spitting out a blood arrow, and his body was extremely weak.
Four moves, from the moment Xiao Chen drew the sword to sheathing the sword, he defeated the magic sword Menmahara in only four moves.
Compared with Lin Fei's seven swords, it was three swords less. This time, no one among the warriors watching the battle rushed to disapprove of Xiao Chen's rookie ranking.
