Before the start of the second knockout round, some of the ten contestants who advanced were full of confidence, some looked serious, and some were worried about gains and losses, and so on.
They know very well that as long as they win another game, they will be able to get recommended places from the school.
The list of battles for the second round of knockout rounds will be decided by the clan elders, and they will face each other in a strong and weak manner based on the strength of the players.
This kind of battle situation avoids the possibility of the strong encountering in advance. The only disadvantage is that there is not much suspense.
However, the family resources are limited, and the elders hope to concentrate resources on cultivating outstanding clan members. The number of places recommended by schools is very important, and it is also the place where the family spends the most resources over the years, so it is natural to be cautious.
Of course, if someone can defeat the strong with the weak, they will not be disappointed. Such a situation almost represents a fatal mistake made by the defeated strong.
In the second knockout round, regardless of whether they were strong or weak, they all showed their desire for a place recommended by the school. They let go of their worries, fought bravely, and completely ignored the injuries of the demon pets. They fought to the end until the winner was determined.
In the second knockout round, Li Changsheng focused on Li Runfeng. His opponent was not very strong, and he had a lower-ranked 8th-level demon pet. Because Li Runfeng deliberately hid his clumsiness, his opponent thought that the gap between the two sides was not that big, and behaved quite crazy.
Exactly the same as the previous round, Li Runfeng was still trying to show his weakness to the enemy. Under the command of a burst of "scrambling", he finally won the game with an extremely "slim" advantage.
"Li Runfeng wins!"
An old-fashioned voice from the internal affairs clan sounded, to be honest, he was quite ashamed of Li Runfeng's behavior, but he was not easy to expose, after all, hiding clumsiness is also a tactic.
Originally, with Li Runfeng's strength, he could easily get the semi-final spot, but he chose to hide his strength. Naturally, he has an ulterior purpose. If there is no accident, it is nothing more than wanting to get a better spot. After all, it is related to his future.
More than half an hour later, the second round of knockout rounds finally came to an end, and the five winners successfully advanced to the semi-finals. Together with Li Changsheng, Li Tianyu and Li Jingyi, there were exactly eight people.
Advancement to the semi-finals means that they have automatically obtained the recommendation places of the schools, but the schools also have grades, and if they want to get better places for the recommendation of the schools, they have to continue to work hard.
The semi-finals will be held tomorrow morning.
After the show ended, the patriarch Li Wenbo came to the office. He propped his head on his left hand and frowned slightly, as if he had encountered something troublesome.
Unlike the knockout rounds, the patriarch made the match list for the semi-finals. For the benefit of the family, he had to make the right choice.
The reason why the lottery is not adopted is mainly to prevent two players with great potential from meeting in advance, causing one of them to slip in the ranking, which is not in line with the interests of the family.
This is the source of the patriarch's troubles.
On the patriarch's desk, there was an unfinished list with the names of Li Changsheng, Li Tianyu, and Li Jingyi on it. They all had median monster pets and were listed as seed players by Li Wenbo.
Here comes the problem, but also to choose a seed player, which is also where Li Wenbo struggles.
If he knew Li Runfeng's reality, Li Wenbo would naturally not hesitate much. The problem was that he didn't know. Due to his lack of concentration, coupled with the overwhelming acting skills of Li Runfeng and Frost Sparrow, this was also the main reason why he didn't notice.
Otherwise, with his eyesight of a fourth-rank demon master, he could easily see through Frost Sparrow's disguise.
Boom~
At this time, the door was knocked.
"What's the matter?"
"Patriarch, please see the elder of the internal affairs clan!"
"Please hurry up!"
Although the conflict of power within the family led to discord between Li Wenbo and the few elders who held power, the two sides agreed on the family's righteousness and wanted to strengthen the family.
After the housekeeper came in, the two of them didn't know what they discussed. When the housekeeper left, Li Wenbo's originally frowning brows relaxed, and he wrote three words in the last place - Li Runfeng!
After the four seed players are settled, the remaining four can be arranged casually. If they can defeat the strong with the weak, that is not a bad thing.
The next morning, Li Changsheng arrived at the training ground on time. After yesterday's test, his popularity skyrocketed a lot.
Li Changsheng didn't care. He still sat silently on the player's bench, spreading out a book on tactics, as if no one was there, and quickly immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge.
The demon pet is growing rapidly, and he can't hold back. He needs to constantly enrich himself, improve his knowledge and experience, so that the demon pet can play to its due level.
Although he doesn't know who his opponent will be in the semi-finals, he has full confidence in himself. Even if he encounters Li Tianyu, Li Jingyi and Li Runfeng, he is sure of victory.
While waiting, time passed slowly, and more and more clansmen gathered in the training ground, overwhelming the central arena.
Before the start of the game, Li Wenbo stood on the high platform again, saying like Hong Zhong said: "Read the race again: 1. This is the battle between the demon pets and the demon pet, and it is strictly forbidden to attack the imperial monster himself; If the race people are not present, they will be considered abstaining! Fifth, you can't get dead, otherwise you will be severely punished! "
In terms of the nature of the competition, the semi-finals are similar to the knockout rounds, the difference is that in the knockout rounds only one monster pet can play, while in the semi-finals there are three!
The rules of the semi-finals, on the contrary, highlighted Li Changsheng's advantages. He didn't believe that other contestants also had three mid-level demon pets.
The semi-finals are still judged by the veteran of the internal affairs clan, which is also his duty. "In the first game, please Li Changsheng and Li Jianren to play!"
Li Changsheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect his 'business partner' Li Jianren to be his opponent in the semi-finals, but he didn't hesitate, and came to the stone platform next to the ring without haste.
On both sides of the field, there are two three-meter-high stone platforms, which are used to improve the vision of the demon master and better observe the situation on the field.
On the other side, Li Jianren had a bitter face. He never thought that his opponent in the semifinals would be Li Changsheng.
Half a month ago, he and Li Changsheng became 'business partners', Li Changsheng provided goods, and he was in charge of sales.
In terms of profits, although Li Changsheng took the big head, he also earned a lot of resources. With the accumulation of resources, Li Jianren's strength has also been improved, but time is not on his side. If he is given a few more days, his Flaming Wolf is likely to complete the promotion, and it is possible to make him a seed player, and he will not meet Li Changsheng now.
"I can't beat it at all!" Li Jianren wailed in his heart. Unlike others, he knew Li Changsheng better. The bird of paradise alone was enough for him to drink a pot, let alone Ai Xi.
In order to hide his strength, Li Changsheng didn't let Aixi appear on the training ground recently, but because of his business partner, Li Jianren once met Aixi at Li Changsheng's house. Thinking of the majestic and huge tiger body with sword-like fangs, Li Jianren felt chills in his heart.
He knew very well that he had no chance of winning against Li Changsheng!
Thanks to Hum and Chingjia for their rewards!
