The knockout round is coming as scheduled.
All the arenas on the streets below the 3,700th floor of the Imperial City have been demolished, leaving only the arenas on the streets above the 3,701st floor.
The knockout round adopts a draw mode, one-on-one, the winner advances and the loser is eliminated.
at this time.
3701st floor street.
Magnificent arenas stand tall.
The top talents participating in the elimination rounds have gathered in the waiting area.
The entire street was packed with people watching the fun, and at a glance, the sea of people looked like a black river, quite spectacular.
The stands were also filled with distinguished guests. Not only the ladies and young ladies came, but also some princes and nobles who had finished their work, dignitaries who came in person, and some guests from powerful forces.
"The drawing ceremony begins now."
Xu Lian recognized the person who hosted the elimination round. He was the old man who piloted the flying sword, the Minister of Rites.
“Read out the rules of the draw.
The drawing of lots is a two-step process.
In the first step, all the geniuses draw lots. Those who draw odd numbers will be assigned to Team A, and those who draw even numbers will be assigned to Team B. The two teams will be opponents.
In the second step, there is a lottery box in front of each team A and B. If they draw the same number, it will be considered the opponent's lottery.
The number on the jade stick corresponds to the number of the arena. Whoever draws the number of the jade stick will go to the corresponding arena for the duel.
During the duel, you are not allowed to use weapons, hidden weapons, magic weapons, talismans, etc. that exceed your own level of cultivation. Otherwise, it will be considered a violation and you will be expelled from the competition.
During the confrontation, if one side surrenders or loses the fighting capacity, the other side wins.
In the You Dynasty's contest to select a royal consort, peace is the most important thing. However, swords and knives are blind and fists are ruthless, so casualties are inevitable. Participants are responsible for the consequences themselves, and the You Dynasty will not be responsible.
If any hatred or grudges arise between the contestants during the duel, it has nothing to do with You Chao.
The rules have been read, and that’s it.”
The Minister of Rites waved his hand.
A huge lottery box appeared in front of the participating talents.
"Draw lots and divide into teams."
The geniuses came forward one by one to draw lots.
Everything is calm, without competition or struggle, and in an orderly manner.
It doesn't matter which team you are assigned to, or what opponents you meet. If you want to become a prince consort, you must have the confidence and strength to defeat all geniuses. There is no such thing as luck or tricks.
So, it doesn’t matter which team you are assigned to or who your opponent is.
The draw is over.
"Forty-four."
Xu Lian took a look at the lottery ticket in his hand, which was an even number, and walked to Team B.
The geniuses went to Team A or Team B according to the lots they drew.
"You're so lucky."
Fu Ye, who was carrying a wolf-tooth beast bone club on his shoulder, glanced at Xu Lian, who was also from Team B, with a sneer. This meant that Xu Lian would not meet him in this round of competition, so he said this.
Xu Lian said calmly, "You are actually the lucky one."
The young master of the Ghost Sect, "Nian", was also in Team B. Maybe he didn't get the upper hand from his talk last time and was ridiculed by Xu Lian instead. This time he didn't say a word, but just teased the little white head growing on his shoulders.
His silence did not mean that Xu Lian had forgotten him. "Young Master of the Commoner Sect, Pine Cone Head, you are not bad luck."
Pine cone head
The geniuses smiled, it's true that they look a bit alike.
Nian's face didn't look very good. This Xu Lian, who rose from the common people, was going to fight with him
The Minister of Rites also heard Xu Lian's words, but he didn't look away, pretending not to know Xu Lian. He no longer looked like the naughty old man he had been when he first entered the city. "The team drawing is over. Next, we will draw lots for the duel."
He waved.
A lottery box appears in front of Team A and Team B respectively.
The geniuses from both teams stepped forward to draw lots one by one.
Xu Lian took a look at the lot he drew, number “eight”, and walked towards the ring number eight.
Waited for a while.
A young genius came up.
Seeing Xu Lian, the young genius smiled and said, "We are both lucky. We didn't draw a Grandmaster. It's fair to be a Huajiu against a Huajiu."
Is it possible that the person standing in front of you is a Grandmaster of the Fourth Stage? Xu Lian did not explain, but just nodded and smiled.
After all the participating geniuses had stepped onto the stage, the Minister of Rites announced in a thunderous voice, "The competition begins!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"...
Bursts of light suddenly erupted from each arena, and a fierce battle began.
Arena No. 8.
The young genius used his secret fighting skills to launch a massive bombardment on Xu Lian.
Xu Lian had an idea and wanted to hide something, so he retained the fourth level of Grandmaster cultivation to deal with the situation.
Ten moves.
Twenty moves.
Thirty moves...
After nearly half of the competitors in the other arenas had decided the winners, Xu Lian then exerted a little force and defeated the young genius in one fell swoop.
"Ring number eight, Xu Lian wins."
Although the Minister of Rites only has a pair of eyes, he can keep an eye on all directions and pay attention to the confrontations in all arenas.
Seeing Xu Lian coming down from the No. 8 ring, Fu Ye, who was carrying a wolf-tooth beast bone club, immediately laughed, "It's so hard to beat a ninth level, if you meet a master, I don't see how you can get away with it. You can't even last a few rounds, you don't deserve to meet me."
Xu Lian said, "I don't know how I can beat other masters, but I'm definitely more than capable of beating you."
The geniuses have become accustomed to the rivalry between the two and have lost interest in it, so they focus their attention on the competitions in various arenas.
More than an hour.
The showdowns in all arenas are over.
There are less than half of the winning geniuses left.
Why is it less than half? Because some geniuses suffered losses to both sides, lost their fighting power, and were eliminated together.
“Draw lots and divide into teams.
Draw lots, showdown."
The Minister of Personnel had obviously presided over many ceremonies, and everything was in an orderly manner.
soon.
The draw is over.
A new round of confrontation has begun.
Xu Lian's luck was really good, as he met a genius who was at the ninth level this time. Actually, it cannot be said that he was lucky, because the top geniuses with the cultivation of a grandmaster were a minority after all, and most of them were geniuses who had advanced from the preliminary rounds to the eighth or ninth level.
Just like before, Xu Lian waited until the competitions in other arenas were almost over before he made an effort to defeat his opponent.
Draw lots and divide into teams.
Draw lots and duel.
One round after another.
There are fewer and fewer talented people left on the field, and the opponents they encounter are becoming stronger and stronger.
In this round, Xu Lian began to encounter master geniuses.
The master genius obviously did not take his "Nine Transformations" seriously. He attacked fiercely from the start, hoping to defeat him within a few moves.
However, after twenty or thirty moves, Xu Lian was still as steady as a rock.
This made the Grand Master Genius frown, and he had to slow down the pace and start a war of attrition with him.
Seeing that the competitions in other arenas were almost over, Xu Lian began to exert his strength.
"boom!"...
He transformed an imperial city with his hands, blasted the master genius away, and won the victory.
This gorgeous fighting secret method attracted the attention of princes, nobles and dignitaries in the stands.
The common people cheered even more, their eyes were always on Xu Lian. Seeing how brave he was and how he even defeated the master, they were all excited.
Seeing Xu Lian walk off the stage unscathed, Fu Ye was puzzled, "Have you broken through to the Grandmaster level?"
The other geniuses were also a little surprised. Judging from the strength of the energy Xu Lian displayed on the ring, he was no longer at Huajiu.
