Chapter 22: The Final (1)
Zhong Hou's kick was not very heavy, after all, he was not an enemy of life and death, so there was no need to kill him.
But the woman didn't feel good either, and only got up again after half a ring.
Zhong Hou didn't take advantage of the other party's rest to chase after the victory, not because he didn't understand this truth, but because the opponent's long sword had been lost, and he was probably embarrassed to fight again.
Sure enough, the woman snorted coldly, didn't even want the long sword, turned around and walked out of the ring.
"Did I win?" Zhong Hou asked the referee uncertainly.
The referee nodded, but then shook his head again and said, "Win." But why don't you have a little pity for a big man? ”
What the hell can you eat?
Besides, I'm not very heavy, right?
Zhong Hou's head was full of question marks, took back the nail rake, and returned to the field.
After three matches, Zhong Hou officially advanced to the second round of the Ring Challenge.
And Zhong Hou's reputation gradually spread.
At this time, most people knew that among the participants in this Guardian Selection Competition, the youngest was only fourteen years old, but he was an anti-heaven existence of the second layer of the day after tomorrow, and the secrets he cultivated were very advanced. Preliminary judgment, in this competition, the comprehensive strength can be ranked in the top ten.
The reason why it spread so quickly is not Zhong Hou's strength, but that he is the youngest in this selection competition, and it is easier to become the focus, and it is difficult to think of being famous.
So, in the ring challenge, Zhong Hou easily advanced.
Because, he was selected to become the champion.
Because, he, the champion, has no one to challenge.
In this way, it will naturally be successfully promoted.
There is no way to encounter it in the knockout round, but you can freely choose to challenge your opponent in the Ring Challenge. If you challenge a 'child', if you win, you will be said to be a bully, and if you lose, you will be even more ashamed. In this way, who would do such a stupid thing.
The rules of the final are somewhat similar to the semi-finals, which are divided into two stages, the first stage is the knockout round, and the second stage is the ranking round.
Knockout, 500 into 205, 205 into 125, 125 (one person with a bye) into 63, 63 (one person with a bye) into 32, 32 into 16, 16 into 8.
In the ranking competition, the eight advanced contestants fought against the remaining seven people respectively, and won one point, and no points were deducted for defeat. Finally, the top eight guards in this escort selection competition were selected based on the ranking from high to low in terms of total scores.
The top eight will receive additional rewards from the Situ family, and the higher the ranking, the richer the rewards.
The first place, three pieces of Tiger Blood Pill, can enter the Situ Family Library for twelve hours.
The second place, two pieces of Tiger Blood Pill, can enter the Situ Family Library for eight hours.
The third place, a piece of Tiger Blood Pill, can enter the Situ Family Library for four hours.
From the fourth to the eighth, a piece of Tiger Blood Pill entered the Situ Library for two hours.
The Fan Pin Tiger Blood Pill is refined from the essence blood of the beast white-veined tiger as the main material, which has a special effect on strengthening the flesh and meridians. First-time users, if they are lucky, they can even directly improve a small realm.
When he heard the three words of the library, a fine light flashed in Zhong Hou's eyes. He risked being calculated, in order to win the top three, enter the library, learn more about this continent, and be able to establish his cultivation goals more clearly, and prepare for the revenge of his father's murder in the future.
In the next battle, he will definitely go all out and march towards the top three goals.
As for what the Fan Pin Tiger Blood Pill was, he didn't know at all, and he couldn't be interested in it for the time being.
Due to the large number of people in the semi-finals, the pace is not very tight overall, and the contestants have enough time to recover. However, there are only 500 people left in the finals, and as long as they can successfully qualify, the next game will follow, and the recovery time for everyone will be greatly reduced.
The contestants will face a very tough test.
Zhong Hou's next opponent was two points stronger than the three opponents in the rematch, but it was only two points. After a few battles, Zhong Hou's actual combat experience has risen slowly, if he fights Niu Er again at this time, Zhong Hou will definitely be able to defeat the opponent within ten moves.
To put it simply, Zhong Hou's progress is too fast, and even if his opponent gets stronger and stronger, it is not enough to make up for the gap.
Thereupon...
In the first game, Zhong Hou won in one hundred moves.
In the second game, Zhong Hou won in 80 moves.
In the third game, Zhong Hou won forty moves.
In the fourth game, Zhong Hou won in ten moves.
The opponent is getting stronger, but Zhong Hou's victory is getting easier and easier.
After four increasingly easy battles, Zhong Hou had already entered the top thirty-two at this time.
This result did not come as a surprise.
Perhaps it was the deliberate arrangement of the chief examiner, and there were a total of twenty-three contestants from the second layer and two third layers of the day after tomorrow with Zhong Hou in the selection competition, and they did not meet in advance before the top thirty-two. The opponents encountered by the twenty-five people are only one level after tomorrow, and it is inevitable that they will advance smoothly.
After four battles, Zhong Hou's experience in facing the enemy has become more and more abundant, and the use of Changquan in actual combat has become more and more proficient, and the feeling of being at ease against the enemy has made Zhong Hou's confidence even more abundant.
In the thirty-two into sixteen game, Zhong Hou still encountered only one layer of the day after tomorrow, but this person is the strongest opponent Zhong Hou has ever encountered, and he has the ability to challenge beyond the level, and generally the second layer of the day after tomorrow may not be able to win.
However, Zhong Hou is not an ordinary second-layer acquirer, because the "Long Fist" he cultivated is the secret of the acquired gem.
Despite this, the opponent's combat experience was much more than Zhong Hou's, and Zhong Hou still defeated the opponent after hundreds of hard battles and paid the price of minor injuries.
To Zhong Hou's surprise, he thought that the injury on his body would affect the battle of the next day, but after one night, the injury had fully recovered and did not affect his performance at all.
This reminded him of the inexplicable warm current that could nourish his body every time he ran out of physical strength.
Until now, Zhong Hou still hasn't found out that all this is the credit of the white jade beads. And he didn't even notice that the crack in the white jade bead was a little deeper.
No matter how lucky, today Zhong Hou will inevitably meet an opponent with the same realm as himself.
The other party used a long weapon, a Fang Tian painting halberd.
Before the war, the other party asked curiously: "I see that every time you come to the stage, you hold a nail rake, is this your weapon? Why don't you use it? Is it your hole card? Is your previous opponent not worth using your hole cards? If so, I advise you to show your hole cards, otherwise there will be no chance to wait a while." ”
Zhong Hou felt embarrassed in his heart, where is this hole card, it is completely because he doesn't know how to nail rake martial arts at all. It's okay to go up the mountain to hunt and deal with ordinary beasts, but in a battle of this level, a nail rake is completely cumbersome, and it is not as convenient as bare hands.
If he hadn't regarded the nail rake as a treasure, he wouldn't have known where to throw it, how could he carry it with him.
