The battle for the top eight will be held three days later, the purpose is to give all participating players a buffer period, so that everyone can adjust to the best state.
In the past three days, everyone hastened to recover, and no one went out to drink anymore.
And the whole Haotian City is full of excitement, the final result of the twelve joint exams affects everyone's heart.
The busiest place is the teahouse, where some storytellers who are qualified to watch the battle vividly narrate the fierce battle scenes of the 12 joint exams.
Some storytellers have some martial arts skills, so they went to see it in person, and the authenticity of what they said is relatively close to reality.
There are also some storytellers who have not been to the Haoran Mountain Range, but based on some hearsay, they added water and ingredients to themselves, but they also talked about it, and the audience was fascinated by it.
The merchants of Haotian City saw the huge business opportunity, immediately closed down all the businesses, and hired a articulate gentleman to give a lecture with a lot of money.
The weapon shop, spirit grass shop, and even the auction house were all temporarily converted into storytelling halls.
But this is still not enough to satisfy the huge number of residents of Haotian City. If you want to listen to a book for the entrance examination, the ticket price is really soaring all the way, making the businessmen a lot of money.
Although Haojing's ace army left, they also sent a few envoys, who witnessed half of the 12th consecutive exam process.
So far, Haojing is quite satisfied with the current situation. At least seven disciples of Haoranzong entered the top sixteen.
Although the final result has not yet been announced, the current situation is still within the acceptable range.
The Murong family found Xiang Nan and spoke highly of Xiang Nan's performance.
Na Murong Zheng personally brought Murong Chongshan's letter to find Xiang Nan, and said that during the college entrance examination, no matter what needs Xiang Nan puts forward, the Murong family will do their best to help.
But Xiang Nan didn't ask for anything. First, what he needs now is a formula to enhance the ability to resist electricity, which the Murong family doesn't have.
Secondly, Xiang Nan was only acting in a play with Murong Wanqing, it's really hard to be cheeky and ask the Murong family for something, lest it gets too deeply involved.
The person in charge of the Huangpu Family in Haotian City took back the arena that was "injured" by Xiang Long and worked overtime to repair it, and at the same time mobilized six refiners to start the work together.
During this period, Haoran Sect Good Fortune Peak provided an unlimited amount of mid-level spirit stones, rejuvenation pills, etc. to the top 16 disciples of the Haoran Sect main sect for free.
The other four, the disciples of the foreign sect who were lucky enough to enter the top 16, are receiving secret training from the elders. It is impossible to improve their strength within three days, but the elders carefully observed the fighting patterns of the Haoranzong and Tianxuanzong disciples.
And made an analysis on this, and passed on these experiences to the four foreign sect disciples to prepare them for battle.
The next battle for the top eight with extremely high gold content is about to start. Whether it is ordinary people, business families, or various sects, they are all preparing intensively.
Soon, three days have passed, and the battle for the top eight is about to begin!
The disciples of the top 16 made their grand debut amidst the warm applause and shouts amidst the expectations of everyone.
It was only after Xiang Nan came to the valley that he realized that the number of spectators had almost doubled!
Since the disciples of the Tianxuan Sect appeared in the Twelve Schools Joint Examination, this matter could not be covered with paper, and the news was quickly revealed. In this way, it added a huge drama and appreciation to the Twelve Schools Joint Examination.
A large number of second-class and third-class sects of the Haotian Empire, and even many martial arts families that do not belong to the sect, also came after hearing the news.
Originally, there were nearly 100,000 spectators sitting on the peaks on both sides of the valley, but now even the cliffs of the valley are full of people, with nearly 160,000 people watching.
Fortunately, the battle area of the top sixteen competition has shrunk, and Hao Ranzong has also shrunk the barrier to one-fifth of its original size, allowing more people to watch the competition at a close distance.
According to Haojing's thinking, more audiences are not allowed to come in, and it is better to have as few audiences as possible, but this time, Haoranzong was desperate, so he simply let go.
This time, the battle list mechanism of the top 16 competition has changed. After the 16 players draw lots, the battle groups will be presented directly in the form of a list.
The top 16 will be divided into two groups, with eight players in each group, and the eight winners will enter the semi-finals.
A set of battle lists are: first match: Feng Zhaoqi vs. Zhanli; second match: Xiang Nan vs. Chen Hao; third match: Chu Yan vs. Gu Mulan; fourth match: Hong Bin vs. Xiang Long.
The list for the second group of matches is: first match: Shen Linhai vs. Xu Bufan; second match: Murong Wanqing vs. Zhang Zongwei; third match: Jiang Cheng vs. Qian Jun; fourth match: Jiang Yu vs. Yi Dong.
The round of sixteen was divided into two days. On the first day, one group of players fought, and on the second day, the second group of players appeared on the stage. Both days were completed.
And the audience gave the highest enthusiasm to the first group!
Because the two people in the first round of the first group are two heavyweight sword masters, Feng Zhaoqi and Zhan Li!
The clear list of the battle list allows everyone to understand the progress of the battle more intuitively.
In particular, this time the battle will become crucial, because this battle will determine the top eight players.
The disciples who get the top ten in the twelve joint examinations will get a book of mid-level earth-grade martial arts, a high-level earth-grade weapon, and a fifth-grade elixir! And comes with a mystery reward.
As long as they can win a game in the top sixteen, those rewards will be securely obtained.
Soon, amidst the cheers of the audience, Elder Shi Beihong announced that the round of sixteen would officially begin!
In the first battle, Feng Zhaoqi fought against Zhanli.
The two of them had already stepped onto the ring that had just been repaired, and the battle was imminent.
Feng Zhaoqi was holding a long sword, and Zhan Li who was standing opposite was holding a long sword. Their sharp gazes collided with fierce sparks in mid-air.
"We finally met." Zhan Li held up his long sword and pointed at Feng Zhaoqi: "If I remember correctly, you were the last one to save Li Qingchuan that time."
Holding the long sword in his arms, Feng Zhaoqi said: "This sword has been defeated by you once, but there will never be a second time."
"Okay, now I announce that the first match of the first group of the top 16 will officially begin!" The referee raised his right hand high and quickly swiped it down.
The signal for the match had just started, and Feng Zhaoqi and Zhanli were on full fire!
Sword intent erupted from these two people at the same time, which made everyone feel their hearts tremble.
"I've seen some this time." Xiang Nan took a deep breath, looking forward to the next battle in his heart.
Murong Wanqing and the others nodded, but they were in no mood to chat anymore. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the ring nervously.
On the ring, Feng Zhaoqi and Zhan Li were already walking towards each other, approaching each other.
When the two sides reached a distance of ten meters, Feng Zhaoqi stepped forward, holding the scabbard with his left hand, and the hilt with his right hand.
And the long sword in Zhan Li's hand disappeared without a sound.
Ding ding ding ding!
A burst of dense and crisp impact sounded fiercely in the air!
But in the eyes of the audience and most of the contestants, they couldn't see the action of those two people drawing their swords!
Feng Zhaoqi still maintained the posture of drawing his sword, only an inch of his sword was exposed, and the long sword in Zhan Li's hand was still missing.
But the sound of dense metal collisions in the air showed that not only did they make a move, but they also attacked super fast when they made a move!
