The qualifying match has officially begun, and Gu Xiqiao puts aside the matter of Jiang Tong and Tianshu for the time being.
The young boys and girls who stood out in the selection competition were all standing under the ring. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of the entrance.
A group of eight people were walking in slowly.
"Did you see that? That's Gu Xiqiao." One person pointed at the girl standing in the middle.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on the pretty girl.
"Gu Xiqiao?"
"The Phantom Beast Harvester! I knew it would be them!"
"Is she Gu Xiqiao?"
"The 80th floor is really too strong." The young man holding the sword looked in that direction and breathed out softly. Among them, the strongest one was Nozawa, but Nozawa's strength was only It's around the 70th floor, which is very different from Guxiqiao.
The people around him were about to cry, "She looks younger than me. She can reach the 80th floor. I can only reach the 50th floor at most. How do you think she cultivates?"
When they first learned that they had entered the top 100, they were all very excited. Entering the top 100 was a symbol of strength and genius, and their status in the family would also rise. However, before these people could get excited, they got Such news, the one ranked number one has actually passed the 80th floor!
When these geniuses received the news, they all had the same attitude of being confused.
Where did this monster come from
This kind of life exists in an era, and the light spots of all of them will be very dim. It is quite sad to think about it, these people thought.
"Second Bridge, many people are watching you." Wu Hongwen stood by the viewing platform and turned his head to look at Gu Xiqiao.
Gu Xiqiao lowered his head and played the game, "Oh."
Seeing his calm look, Wu Hongwen wanted to say something else, but another voice beat him to it, "Miss Gu, you are here!"
Wu Hongwen looked up and saw Betty walking towards them.
"You can actually find us?" Yao Jiamu also saw Betty, and it was a bit strange. There were nearly ten thousand people participating in the game and watching the game, so she could also find them
"What's weird?" Betty shook her head. "These people's eyes are all on you. It's hard not to notice. Also... haven't you noticed that there is an open space five meters away from your center?"
So obvious, she noticed it as soon as she came in.
Hearing these words, Yao Jiamu and Wu Hongwen couldn't help but look up. They hadn't paid attention just now, but now after Betty's reminder, they discovered... It was indeed the case. Not only was there a five-meter empty area around them, but the people around them were looking at them with eyes. Got a surprised look.
"I always feel like we are like monkeys." Wu Hongwen suddenly said.
Yin Shaoyuan was reading a book, "Is there a monkey as handsome as me?"
Wu Hongwen: "... No, no, no, how can you compare with a monkey." Just read a book and don't suddenly say something scary, okay
"Miss Gu, what are you playing for?" Betty saw that Gu Xiqiao kept looking up at his phone, so she couldn't help but leaned over to see that Yin Shaoyuan was reading the secret book, and she felt that Gu Xiqiao must also be reading something weird.
After leaning closer, she saw the game on the screen.
Gu Xiqiao raised his head silently, "Want to play?"
Betty's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay."
Gu Xiqiao handed her the phone.
Betty took it, and 30 seconds later, the character in the game died.
She was stunned for a moment, then continued playing without belief, and then died after 30 seconds.
Forget it, Betty, who had never been able to break through 30 seconds, finally returned the phone to Gu Xiqiao, almost crying, "Miss Gu, please continue playing." She had never felt so stupid, really Yes, she felt that Gu Xiqiao had refreshed her understanding of her own IQ.
"How dare you play the game on her phone," Xiao Yun was originally chatting with Tang Qinghong. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "I respect you as a man."
Who doesn't know that the games on Gu Erqiao's mobile phone are all monster-level games that she made out of boredom, but Betty dares to play them, which is commendable for her courage.
"Miss Gu, can this game really be cleared?" After hearing Xiao Yun's words, Betty finally felt a little more comforted, and then looked at Gu Xiqiao.
Gu Xiqiao raised his head and glanced at Betty. He didn't speak, but silently lowered his head and played with his mobile phone.
Three minutes later, Betty saw four words on the screen - Congratulations on passing the level.
Betty: "..."
"I told you not to look for excitement yourself," Wu Hongwen looked at Betty sympathetically, "Are you okay now?"
Betty: "..." I don't want to say it.
This group of people read books, chatted, and played games. They didn't seem nervous at all about participating in the qualifying competition. The people around them were dumbfounded when they saw them like this.
None of them are nervously preparing for the competition, and some are still taking advantage of the time to train. How could there be such a group of people, so leisurely... Are they here to participate in the qualifying competition
This is simply... these people were complaining in their hearts.
Qualifying starts soon.
There are ten arenas in total, and the ten arenas start fighting at the same time. Everyone in the top 100 has to fight against the other 99 people, and they are ranked according to winning or losing.
So, everyone has to play 99 games.
The competition is divided into ten days, and each person has about ten games per day.
After the referee announces the rules, the game begins.
"In the first match, the first ring is between you and No. 57," Betty read the words on the big screen, then looked at Gu Xiqiao, a little excited, "Miss Gu, the first match is between you and No. 57 Number!"
When the one hundred selectors came in, they were given number plates. The number plates ranked them by number. Gu Xiqiao ranked first, so he was number one.
Others obviously saw the words on the big screen, and they all crowded to the side of the No. 1 arena to watch. This monster who broke through the 80th floor naturally attracted everyone's attention!
As for the other nine arenas, there was no one there.
This scene is unprecedented. Everyone was attracted by the phantom beast harvester and the title of "80th floor" monster.
Nine people competing in the arena: "..." There is still a little bit of caution.
Referees from the nine arenas: "..." What's going on? Why did you all get to the first stage
Gu Xiqiao's opponent was a young man. He looked at Gu Xiqiao, who was standing calmly in front of him, and looked at the referee with a sad face: "Referee, can I abstain?"
As soon as these words came out, the referee in the first arena stared, "Forfeit?" Did he hear it correctly? Those who can enter this arena are the top talents from all over the world, and each one of them is extremely arrogant. Who will be able to obey other geniuses? So this situation of giving up before a fight has never happened.
"Yes, I abstain." Who is that person opposite? He has passed the 80th floor! He is also the captain of the Phantom Beast Harvester! When the young man knew that the first stop he was facing was her, he almost sat down on the ground!
He once saw Gu Xiqiao smashing a top-level fantasy beast to death with his bare hands in the Bahuang Forest. The key was that she was the only one... while the other nine people in her team just sat around eating hot pot.
Not only did they trap, kill, and abuse animals, they also threw them!
This scene was deeply imprinted in the young man's mind. At that time, he only had two words in his mind, horror! BT!
I also felt the terror of Gu Xiqiao.
Therefore, as soon as he came on the field, he asked the referee if he could abstain. He knew that he and Gu Xiqiao were not on the same level at all and could not be compared. The key was that he was afraid that if Gu Xiqiao was unhappy, he would throw him to death. …
Because it was the first time he heard someone give up, the referee was silent for a moment, and then thought about the rules of the game: "You can give up."
When the young man heard the referee's answer, he jumped twice with joy, "Thank you, referee!" Then he bowed to Gu Xiqiao and said, "Goodbye, Miss Gu!"
After saying that, he went down very happily.
It was the first time I saw a referee who was so happy after admitting defeat: "..."
Gu Xiqiao, who somehow won and was bowed to: "..."
The audience who came specially to watch a grand battle but saw nothing: "..."
After the young man went down, the elder of the family couldn't help but grimace, "What's going on? You abstained from such an important first game?"
"What should I do?" The young man said with a bitter face, "That's Gu Xiqiao. Can I not abstain?"
"Is she that scary?" Another elder raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"You'll know later." The young man paused and thought to himself, horror? Can this be described as terrifying? That's a monster! Have you ever seen someone smash a fantasy beast with his bare hands
The elders looked at each other in confusion, but then they saw the strangest scene since then.
Some people who didn't give up when they met Nozawa, who was ranked second, actually gave up after meeting the people from the Peace Team!
"What's going on? You gave up before the fight. You are ranked in the top twenty after all. It is possible to strive for the top ten!"
"You can win against Nozawa who is No. 2, so why do you give up when you meet them?!"
Some family patriarchs abstained from the vote because they hated the fact that iron cannot become steel. They actually abstained from voting. They were really pissed off!
"Do I dare to fight the Phantom Beast Harvester?" The young people who were being trained were all crying. They were all lucky enough to have seen the Phantom Beast Harvester pitting beasts. "When I meet Nozawa, I will be defeated at most. When I encounter the Phantom Beast Harvester, I will be defeated at most. The team members who cheat will be tricked to death!"
During the intermission, ten referees were sitting in the hall, "What's going on in your arena No. 1? Someone actually abstained from the first game?"
"I don't know. It's the first time I've seen something like this happen." The referee in Arena No. 1 shook his head.
"I do know a little bit," another referee smiled mysteriously, "I heard that the number one ranked player this year passed the 80th floor of the Ancient Martial Arts Trial Pavilion."
As soon as these words came out, the other nine judges were all shocked, "Eight...eighty floors?" You're not bluffing, right? !
"That's right," the referee nodded, "all the top leaders in the power circles know about this."
"No wonder these people abstained. But what's going on with the Phantom Beast Harvester?" The referee in Arena No. 1 spoke out the words he heard.
"I don't know," the referee Shi Shiran stood up, "but this year's qualifying competition is more fun."
Jiang Shuxuan, who was sitting on the second floor, clearly heard the words of the referees downstairs. He curled up the corner of his mouth and held a cup of tea in his hand.
"Boss, what's going on?" Standing next to Jiang Shuxuan, Yitong was dumbfounded. He was the only mahjong player who came with Jiang Shuxuan to watch the match. It was also the first time he saw someone abstaining from the qualifying match.
What did Gu Xiqiao do in the selection competition to make these people so scared
The cell phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and looked at it with a serious face, "Boss, there is indeed a situation in the capital."
"Let Yipian keep an eye on it." Jiang Shuxuan said calmly.
Yitong nodded, and then sent a message to Yibing - [Have you ever seen someone who abstained from qualifying?]
Then regardless of Yibing's answer, he immediately looked at the ten arenas, this one involving Gu Xiqiao.
Gu Xiqiao had ten games today. They all abstained from the first three games. In the fourth game, they finally met someone who did not abstain.
Referee: So touching.
This boy from Country Y had never encountered the Phantom Beast Harvester head-on in the Bahuang Forest, so when he faced Gu Xiqiao, he didn't want to cry as much as others, but he behaved very politely and with aristocratic etiquette.
Gu Xiqiao pinched his wrist, thinking that he couldn't bully others, so he planned to end the matter hastily.
After the young man from Country Y avoided one of Gu Xiqiao's golden needles, he suddenly became solemn, and several jade stones flashed in his hand, "Miss Gu, I am actually an array master, and I am best at trapping arrays. Once the trapping array is released, I can be in Invincible! Originally, I didn’t want to use one move.”
Baili Wen, who was watching below: "..." Do you know that her talent in formations is not matched by the entire Baili family combined
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
No matter what formation or formation you compete with, why not just lose honestly? We have arranged such a beautiful way for you to lose! Gao Dahua, who was best at tricks, sighed.
