Chapter 70: The Upper and Lower Halves
Because the outer gate is once a month, although the number of participants is large, almost including more than ninety percent of the disciples of the outer gate, the competition process is extremely fast.
In just three days, more than 2,000 people have completed the preliminary round and decided the top 16. And on the fourth and final day today, everyone in the top 16 will compete in four games to determine the specific term.
There will be additional rewards for places one to ten, but there will also be a considerable amount of resource skew for places eleven to sixteen. Of course, it is a well-known fact that the higher the grades, the higher the treatment they enjoy.
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Yi and others came to the outside of the outer gate altar again. The number of people here today is much smaller, but the atmosphere has become more solemn.
The door opened, led by Qu Chen and Gong Hong, and everyone walked out one after another.
Since there are only 16 people, there is no need to post a red list. Qu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother Gong, you can arrange the next game." ”
Gong Hong waved his hand again and again: "Senior Brother Qu, the preliminary competition is all arranged by the junior brother, and this main competition should be decided by you." He said this categorically, without hesitation.
I have done my best to send your brother Xu Yibao to the top 16, but if I go further, I will really have to risk the world's condemnation. At that time, if someone stabs this matter to the inner door, it will be more or less a trouble.
After all, it wasn't the two of them who could cover the sky with one hand. In the preliminary round, the middle and senior management of the door may not care. But if it doesn't converge when it comes to the main competition, then it's hard to say.
Qu Chen nodded slightly, but did not refuse. In fact, he was also worried that if Gong Hong came forward to arrange it again, in case he made any more moths, he might not be able to please him.
Top 16, Xu Yi, this kid has practiced ghost shadow steps, and has super stamina, and he also has a lot of experience in mastering ghost shadow steps, and it is reasonable to enter the top 16 of the outer disciples, but it really depends on luck if you continue.
"Pang Le, you are in charge of drawing lots. Qu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "The old rule, people in the same group try to avoid drawing. ”
"Yes. Pang Le stepped forward and wrote sixteen names on a piece of paper, and wrote sixteen numbers, 1 to 8 for the upper half of the area, and 9 to 16 for the lower half of the area. Then it was put into two boxes.
He shook the box and pulled it out.
Seeing Pang Le's style, Gong Hong, Chang Lin and others were all relieved.
It seems that Qu Chen is extremely satisfied with what they have done, and letting Xu Yi advance to the top 16 also meets Deacon Qu Chen's psychological expectations, so he will no longer make any black hand arrangements when the draw is made.
Soon, all sixteen people were drawn by lot.
Everyone has a corresponding number, and the people in the same group are artificially divided into the upper and lower halves.
In this way, unless it is the finals, the people in the same group will not want to encounter it in advance. Of course, if there is a group that defies the sky enough to occupy more than three spots in the round of 16, it is another story.
But in fact, such a thing has not happened a few times in the entire history of the outer gate.
Because once you are promoted to the fourth level, you can enter the inner gate to practice, and you can be removed from the outer gate, so the outer disciples will have a group of top masters leave almost every one or two months, and this ranking changes greatly, and it is difficult to fix.
Except, of course, for unlucky people like Chen Guang.
Xu Yi was drawn to the upper half of the region, and he was the first to play, his opponent was Hu Li, a senior brother in Xinyou's 8th group, this senior brother had long been at the peak of the third level of the human rank, but he had not been able to break through to the fourth level, and he was a good player among the outer disciples.
Although it is inferior to Chen Guang, it is not comparable to ordinary people.
Qu Chen bowed slightly, Pang Le suddenly understood, and he said aloud: "Everyone, the top 16 competition has officially begun, and it will be divided into the upper and lower halves. I will be the referee in the first half of the district, and I will be the senior brother of Chang Lin in the second half. ”
Chang Lin hurriedly said: "Little brother obeys." ”
The upper half of the ring is not far in front of the outer gate, while the lower half of the ring is going to go around in a circle.
Chang Lin left with some people, Zhang Xinxin was among them, she glanced at Xu Yi before leaving, and waved her small fist vigorously.
Xu Yi glanced at it from afar, and couldn't help frowning. What does that mean?
Shang Wu, who was following him, said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Xu, Senior Sister is cheering for you." ”
"Come on, I think, she's saying she's going to beat me up if I lose. Xu Yi said slowly.
Shang Wu, Liu Xin, and the others looked at each other, is there such an explanation? Why can't we see it?
Senior Brother Xu's brain is wide open, and ordinary people like me can't reach it.
Pang Le stepped into the ring, looked around, and said coldly: "Xu Yi, Hu Li, take the stage." ”
Xu Yi and Hu Li jumped into the ring respectively, and by this time, although the sixteen had not fought each other, they were no longer strangers to each other.
Na Huli was seven or eight years older than Xu Yi, just in the prime of life, but when he looked at Xu Yi, his eyes were quite jealous.
Xu Yi's previous victories had already spread throughout the outer gate, especially Chen Guang, who "defeated" the first person to be a disciple of the outer sect in the last game, which was even more terrifying. No matter how Xu Yi got to this point, no one will look down on him anymore.
"Gengwu Group 6, Xu Yi, Senior Brother Hu, please. ”
"Xinyou 8 group, Hu Li, Senior Brother Xu, please. ”
The two saluted each other, and after Pang Le began, they moved almost simultaneously.
Xu Yi took the lead in sitting on the horse with his waist down, and put on a defensive posture, at this moment he was also beating a drum in his heart, I don't know if this Hu Li would suddenly have an accident.
However, Hu Li's offensive came as scheduled, he struck out with one palm, and the strong wind rushed to his face, making Xu Yi's face ache faintly.
What a powerful force.
Xu Yi secretly said in his heart, but he was not surprised, he had fought with so many people, this was the first person who could make him feel threatened, it seemed that this time he could finally have a good fight.
"Bang. ”
Xu Yi crossed his palm and took the palm hard.
Iron Sand Palm!
An indescribable vigorous surge came, and Hu Li's true qi cultivation was far superior to Xu Yi's, and the palm power was crushed like a mountain and a sea.
Not good.
It turns out that this is the strength of the third-level peak.
In fact, Xu Yi had such a feeling before, but that was what he felt when he turned into a little giant and hit the fourth level. But now, his body only has a second-level True Qi cultivation.
The powerful force impacted the body, and Xu Yi knew that with his body at the moment, he would never be able to match the strength.
The difference between Level 2 and Level 3 is more exaggerated and difficult to transgress than Level 1 to Level 2.
With a flash of figure, Xu Yi's footsteps suddenly moved!
