"When did I ever say I was Hua Jiu? I have already reached the Grandmaster level, but I have been hiding my strength until now."
Xu Lian said this deliberately so that he could use the strength of the fourth Grandmaster conveniently in the next competition, lest others know that he broke through four levels in just twenty days, which was too shocking.
The geniuses suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Ying Ming, who had defeated Hua Jiu with one move before, turned out to be a master. This was easy to understand; it was normal for a master to defeat Hua Jiu with one move.
Fu Ye was very embarrassed. He had looked down on Xu Lian, the Hua Jiu who was too popular. He didn't expect that Xu Lian was already a master. Was he trying to play tricks on him
"So what if he is a Grandmaster? There is a gap between Grandmasters."
Fu Ye snorted coldly, feeling embarrassed.
Xu Lian said, "That's right, there are also differences among Grandmasters. The gap between you and me is at least three pine cone heads."
The geniuses couldn't help laughing. The young master of the Ghost Sect became a unit of measurement
The Ghost Sect's young leader "Nian"'s face darkened and he felt numb. He just followed Fu Ye and "stepped on Xu Lian" during the party, but he didn't expect that Xu Lian would be so vindictive and would annoy him whenever he got the chance.
“Draw lots and divide into teams.
Draw lots, showdown."
The pace of the elimination round was very fast. The Minister of Rites did not give the geniuses any time to rest, and they played one round after another.
After all, endurance is also a manifestation of strength.
Xu Lian also had no time to chat with Fu Ye and the Ghost Sect's young master "Nian" and focused on the competition.
One hundred and twenty-eight strong, advancing to the top sixty-four!
Top 64, advance to top 32!
There are fewer and fewer geniuses left in the field, and their strength is getting stronger. They all look solemn, and every game is a tough battle.
Top 32, advance to the top 16!
After this round of competition, Xu Lian looked at the other fifteen people and did not see the Ghost Sect’s young master “Nian”. Did that mean he was eliminated
"Where's the pine cone head?"
Xu Lian smiled.
A genius stretched out his hand and pointed toward the crowd.
Xu Lian looked over and saw Nian, the young master of the Ghost Sect, walking out of the crowd. It was obvious that he had lost the competition and wanted to sneak away...
Of course he had to say farewell, so he shouted, "Pine Cone Head, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Nian, the young master of the Ghost Sect, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The Ghost Clan's young master "Nian" froze in his tracks, his plan to sneak away without attracting attention failed.
It was normal to lose the game, but the bad thing was that he was eliminated before Xu Lian... He was too embarrassed to stay here.
He turned around and glared at Xu Lian, then quickened his pace and left in a hurry.
Xu Lian felt a little regretful and had to focus his attention on Fu Ye. Although Fu Ye advanced to the top 16, his body was covered with scars and his wolf-tooth beast bone club was also covered with cracks. It was obvious that he could not make it to the top eight.
"Isn't this the young chief of the Savage Tribe? How did he get injured like this?"
Xu Lian spoke very loudly.
Fu Ye remained silent. He really couldn't understand why it was so difficult for him, with his strength as a Grandmaster II, to advance to the top 16. Although Xu Lian had to fight for more than a hundred moves in each match before he could defeat his opponent with great difficulty, he didn't get hurt at all and also made it to the top 16. It seemed that he still had some strength left.
Xu Lian knew when to stop and did not add insult to injury.
Let others know that he is not easy to mess with, so they will not dare to mess with him casually in the future, which can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
This is the principle of "strike the first blow to prevent a hundred punches from coming".
This is how the world is. It’s not okay to be silent and good-tempered. You have to stand up.
In addition to the eliminated Ghost Sect's Young Master "Nian" and the seriously injured Fu Ye, many geniuses who attended the party twenty days ago were eliminated. The son of the Grand Tutor and the son of the Prime Minister among the Four Heroes of the Imperial Capital, the Black Crocodile Prince and the Green Python Prince of Yunmengze, these famous geniuses were eliminated. It can be seen that the competition is quite fierce.
“Sixteen into eight.
Draw lots and divide into teams.
Draw lots, showdown."
The Minister of Rites still did not give the sixteen top talents who remained on the field time to rest, and directly started the next round.
After the drawing of lots was over, Xu Lian was happy. He and Fu Ye drew opposing lots, and they finally met.
Unfortunately, Fu Ye knew that he was seriously injured, so he didn't give him a chance to fight back. He simply admitted defeat and left in a hurry, apparently to heal his wounds.
Xu Lian won without a fight and advanced to the quarterfinals.
Since his ring was the first to finish the battle, the other rings were still competing and had to wait.
After more than half an hour, the competitions in each arena ended and the winners were decided.
The list of the top eight has just been released.
Among the geniuses who attended the party twenty days ago, there are still Xu Lian, the Prince of Jinnan, the Prince of Zhenbei, the Prince of Zijiao, and the Geminis of Luoxing Palace.
It is worth mentioning that the twins are a bit special. The two brothers eat and sleep together, and compete together in every game. If they win the championship, they will become the prince consort together...
Perhaps the royal family of the You Dynasty took a fancy to the Gemini's talents in water and fire and approved this way of participating in the competition.
This is somewhat unfair to other geniuses, but no one says much about it. A true genius won’t care too much about fighting one against two.
The other three of the top eight were relatively unfamiliar, as they had not attended the gathering twenty days ago.
Maybe he just arrived in the imperial capital within the last twenty days and didn't have time to attend the party.
Maybe he didn't want to show up at the party and expose his strength, so he didn't attend.
Now, these three teams have emerged from the knockout stage and have attracted attention.
Among the top three, a female genius is the most eye-catching. It is said that her brother is practicing in seclusion and has no time to participate in the competition, so she participates on behalf of her brother. The You Dynasty really favors geniuses with backgrounds, so this is acceptable.
Among the top three there is a genius from the demon race. He doesn’t look like a demon at all, as only his forehead and shoulders are covered with scales, and his racial features are not very obvious.
The last one is the most mysterious. He is shrouded in mist and his face cannot be seen clearly. Only a tall and slender figure can be vaguely seen. His powerful strength is obvious to all. Any genius who draws an opponent with him cannot last more than three moves, not even the grandmaster genius is no exception.
All geniuses are very afraid of this mysterious man and do not want to meet this opponent. Undoubtedly, this person is the favorite to win the championship.
“Eight into four.
Draw lots and divide into teams.
Draw lots, showdown."
The Minister of Rites announced.
The eight geniuses began to draw lots.
The draw is over.
Xu Lian took a look at the lot he drew, which had the number "four" written on it.
There were fewer people around now, and he immediately noticed that the number on the lottery ticket in the female genius's hand was also "four", which meant the opponent's lottery ticket.
The female genius obviously noticed the lottery ticket in his hand and stared at him.
In fact, not only Xu Lian and this female genius, but other geniuses were also checking each other's opponents and soon identified each other's opponents.
Opponent number one, the prince of Zhennan, a genius of the demon clan.
Opponent number two: Prince of Zhenbei, Prince of Zijiao.
Opponent number three, Gemini, a mysterious genius shrouded in mist.
Opponent number four is Xu Lian, a female genius.
