The strong are respected! ! !
This is an unbreakable iron law in Tianyuan Continent, and whoever can win the Kyushu Competition will be truly the number one young talent in Tianyuan Continent!
The more than 3,700 young talents present are all somewhat arrogant. After all, they are the most outstanding geniuses in their families, sects or towns! Now that I have the opportunity to come to the big stage of the Kyushu Competition, I naturally have to show my style as much as possible.
Just as these young people were sizing each other up and dreaming about their imaginary enemies, suddenly a very majestic old general wearing golden armor, white hair and silver beard appeared on a makeshift rostrum in the center of the arena. .
The old general was energetic and majestic, and he said in a voice as loud as a bell: "I, Sikong Xuan, is still a mighty general of the Tianyuan Empire and is responsible for the organization work related to this Kyushu Competition. In order not to waste everyone’s time, I will now explain the rules of the Kyushu Competition to you.”
"The relevant rules of this Jiuzhou Competition are still the same as before. It is divided into four stages: preliminary, group stage, knockout, and battle of the strong. The top ten in the battle of the strong will be the top ten of this competition. If you are strong, you can not only win the title of 'Ten Elites of Kyushu', but also get extremely rich prizes. Maybe decades later, when I see the young people among the Ten Elites, I have to call them senior!"
As soon as Sikong Xuan finished speaking, there was a lot of laughter all around.
General Sikong Xuan is a genuine high-level marshal. The only ones he can call a senior are those who are emperor-level experts. His words were to wish those young people who participated in the Kyushu Competition this time and achieved good results, that they could successfully reach the emperor level as soon as possible, which naturally won everyone's laughter.
Sikong Xuan seemed to ignore the laughter around him and continued: "Since there are more people participating in this Kyushu Competition than in previous years, the rules of the preliminary competition have been slightly changed. Please listen carefully."
"The preliminary competition will divide all 3,747 contestants into 375 preliminary groups. Each preliminary group will ultimately determine a winner, who will be eligible to enter The second stage of the group stage.”
"Based on the realm cultivation and past performance of all participating players, all players will be divided into four levels. Among them, the fifty seed players will be directly assigned to the top fifty preliminary groups, while the three hundred elite players will be assigned in turn. Enter the subsequent preliminary groups backwards. As for the remaining outstanding contestants and ordinary contestants, they will be evenly distributed to each preliminary group according to the ratio of two to seven."
"As for the competition method of the preliminary group, it is still the same as before, using the method of melee in the ring. The person who can still stand in the ring in the end is the final winner, and can be regarded as breaking out of the preliminary round."
"The group stage after the preliminary round will be divided into ninety-six groups, with four players in each group. In addition to circumventing the principle of different groups of seeded players, the remaining players will be selected by drawing lots. The group stage adopts In a single round-robin fighting method, the first place in the group stage will enter the winner's group of the knockout rounds, while the second place in the group stage will enter the loser group of the knockout rounds!"
"After entering the knockout round, all players will draw lots to compete against each other, and there is no principle of avoidance. The winner in the winner group of the knockout round will continue to advance, and the loser will be merged into the loser group to continue to participate in the knockout round. The final winner The twelve winners will be determined from each group, and they will enter the final battle of the strong with the last four of the loser group!"
"The battle of the strong will determine the top ten in this Kyushu competition, as well as a championship. As for the method of the final battle of the strong, it will be decided by the members of the competition committee through discussion. At this stage, Not announced.”
Having said this, a golden light shot out from Sikong Xuan's hand and shot towards the sky, instantly illuminating a huge aerial crystal suspended above the arena.
After this huge sky crystal was lit up, a list of groups immediately appeared. After a while, 375 preliminary groups were arranged. Then Sikong Xuanhong said in a loud voice: "The members of the preliminary group The group list has now been announced, and the drawing of lots is conducted under the supervision of the members of the competition committee to ensure that the entire process is absolutely fair and impartial. If anyone has any opinions, please submit them now and submit them to the committee for review. Otherwise, please contact the primary candidates The groups will go to their respective arenas according to their serial numbers, and the preliminary round can begin immediately!"
As the group list was announced, many people's faces changed drastically and looked frustrated. These people were naturally assigned to the same group as the seeded players.
Those who can be ranked as seed players basically have the cultivation level of intermediate marshal or above. Even if a few seed players are still in the realm of junior marshal, they still have extremely unnatural methods. In terms of fame and combat effectiveness, they are by no means ordinary. Junior marshals can compare with them.
Being assigned to the same group as these seeded players, it is basically difficult to have a chance of upset, which means that they will be eliminated in the preliminary round!
There are a total of 450 such unlucky people, how can their faces get better? Especially the players who were assigned with Kong Ming, Xiao Xueyi, Han Feng, Bing Jiuyou, the Third Prince of Nanyang, and Legolas all had pale faces, and almost wanted to give up.
As for the contestants assigned to other preliminary groups, the expressions on their faces are also different. Some feel that they are very lucky. The opponents in the assigned group are not too strong and they will have a great chance of breaking into the group. race. Some people's expressions are unstable because there are strong enemies in the same group and they are not sure of victory.
In fact, the preliminary round adopts the form of a melee in the ring. Ten players in the same group appear on the stage at the same time. Except for the players with absolutely overwhelming strength, the rest of the players want to win in the preliminary round not only by their strength, but also by their strength. It also tests your communication skills and your ability to cope with complex situations.
Why is it said that the primary election is a true portrayal of "the right person will get more help, and the unjust person will get less help!" Because in the melee, players in the same group are not prohibited from joining forces, defeating all other opponents, and then deciding the winner on their own.
In short, unless you have overwhelming strength, even a handsome practitioner may be eliminated in the preliminary round!
As for questioning the fairness of the grouping, no one is stupid enough to do so. You must know that the members of the Competition Committee are composed of emperor-level powerhouses sent by various forces. Anyone who questions their cheating in the lottery is really as good as asking for death!
Seeing that all the contestants had no objections, Sikong Xuan announced loudly: "Next, we will directly proceed to the preliminary round. Please note the rules of this competition. Take the initiative to admit defeat or be knocked out of the ring or... Being knocked down and unable to stand up is considered a defeat. However, if anyone kills his opponent by mistake in the competition, he will be declared a loser and lose the qualification to participate in the competition!"
The Kyushu Competition gathers almost all the young talents in Tianyuan Continent, and these people represent the hope of the future. Naturally, strict rules must be set to prevent the competition from killing too much and losing the meaning of training these young people.
After Sikong Xuan made the announcement, all the players went to the competition ring according to their respective groups.
On the Cangnan Empire side, Kong Ming, Kong Qingyi, Hu Li, and Cao Pojue are all seed players. This kind of preliminary competition is just a formality for them. Others such as Hu Hao, Kong Qingyun, Kong Qingniu, Cao Podi and others are assigned to different groups. Whether they can win depends on their strength.
As for the East China Sea, only Gong Xinyu is among the seeded players. The others, such as Gong Qingyu, Lu Fengchuan, Fufengzi, Fuyunzi, etc., are considered elite players behind the seeded players. If nothing else, they should be able to win easily from the preliminary round.
The only one who has some trouble is Gong Qingyu, because she hasn't shown up yet. If she can't get to the arena before her group starts the competition, she will be automatically eliminated. .
Of course, Gong Qingyu's group is in the third round of the preliminary round, and her group won't be able to compete in a short time.
Since there are only 100 arenas scattered around, naturally the top 100 groups will start the competition first.
When the contestants from each group came to the ring, they found that all the seats in the ring were already occupied, and the scene was very lively. Moreover, there are three strong men who have reached the handsome level in each arena. They serve as the referees of the competition and perform the duties of on-site supervision. They also hold up a huge barrier, covering the entire arena. , to prevent the energy spilled during the contest from accidentally injuring the surrounding spectators.
As the No. 1 seed player, Kong Ming's group was naturally the first to start the game.
The people assigned to the same group as Kong Ming were only nine general-level practitioners. Maybe they are amazing and talented people in their own one-third of an acre of land, but in front of Kong Ming, they are not as good as chickens and dogs!
Fortunately, Kong Ming was kind enough and gave these nine opponents in the same group some opportunities to perform. After letting them each show a few unique skills, they took action easily, knocking down one of them with almost one blow. When there were only three contestants left on the stage, they unanimously shouted to admit defeat, and Kong Ming won the preliminary round without any suspense.
As for the third prince of Nanyang, who is ranked second seed, he is not as gentle as Kong Ming.
The third prince of Nanyang was shrouded in a black robe. He didn't even reveal his true face. He just released his aura and blew the nine players in the same group directly to the ring. It can be said that the arena was cleared in an instant. Everyone watching the battle was stunned!
