Yan Cangji looked at the thousand contestants standing in the venue, and his majestic and solemn voice echoed throughout the venue.

"Congratulations on returning here after three rounds of tryouts. No matter what means you use to clear each round of tryouts, it's a testament to your strength to be here. ”

"Now, you are qualified to become the Island Guard, and the Courtyard will be officially appointed in the near future. ”

"However, the island guard is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. In order to distinguish between these three, six, nine and so on, the Si Ko Yuan decided to start the qualifying competition next!"

"The results of the qualifying round will determine your island guard level and specific position, so I hope you will do your best!"

"Of course, if someone is not confident enough in their own strength or is unwilling to participate in the qualifying competition, they can also withdraw, and it will not change the assessment results of the previous three rounds of selection. ”

The 1,000 contestants all held their breath and listened attentively, and it was rare that they did not interrupt with words.

"Those who decide not to participate in the competition can go to the viewing area to sit in the viewing area through the viewing channel. From now on, give everyone a quarter of an hour to think about it. ”

Yan Cangji stopped speaking after saying this.

"It's useless to be so slow every time, hum!"

A familiar voice came from Sha Li Zhihai, and he turned around to see that Kai Feng was also looking at him from the viewing seat, with a light anger on his face. He snorted and waited for the voice to reply.

"Brother Sha, I have discussed with Jifeng, with our current strength to participate in the qualifying competition, the results are likely to be only at the bottom. ”

"So we decided to end the race. Brother Sha, you have to come on!"

For Yan Jihui's decision, Sha Li was not surprised. When he first returned to the venue, he didn't find Yan Jiyun, thinking that he had been eliminated in the third round of the trials. However, it is a good achievement for two of the three of them to become island defenders.

"That's fine. Sha Li nodded slightly.

At the same time, the girl Wang Wuxin also said that she would not participate in the qualifying competition, and only Sha Li and Wang Wuhai remained on the field of the original group of five.

After a quarter of an hour had passed, Yan Cangji's voice sounded again.

"The number of people who remained on the field to participate in the qualifying round was eight hundred and one. Due to the large number of people, a preliminary round will be arranged before the official start of the qualifying round. ”

Yan Cangji's tone was slight, and he continued:

"All those present will be divided into sixteen groups, of which fifteen will be fifty people each, and the last group will be fifty-one people. Four people from each group will participate in the final competition. ”

He swept through the small groups of people who were grouped with each other on the field.

"Of course, you can also choose to bring people into the competition. But in the end, only four people from each group can win. ”

"Give you half an hour to team up!"

Sha Li pinched his chin and began to think about this rule. This rule is ostensibly a scuffle, but in fact there are too many loopholes for cheating, but when you think about it, it is also very reasonable.

Taking it to the extreme, assuming that all 50 people in a group are accomplices, it would be too easy for the final four to win. However, most of the contestants who can make it this far are quite confident in their own strength, and it is unlikely that so many people are willing to be green leaves for others. Even if it is an inducement, the price is not ordinarily large, and it may not be worth it.

Moreover, some people who are already familiar with each other, if eight or nine people form a group, even if they join forces to eliminate other contestants, they will eventually go to an internal showdown.

In addition, if the contestants have known each other before, or have seen each other's strength in previous tryouts, if they are strong and have similar cultivation, they may not want to be in the same group as each other.

Considering these factors, even if you want to form a group, the number of companions is no more than four, which is probably a better choice.

"Yo, isn't this Brother Sha? I knew you would be able to come back here, and I didn't disappoint my sister! ”

Hearing a coquettish woman's voice behind his ears, Sha Li turned around, and a bewitching woman in red looked at him with a pair of apricot eyes and a smile.

"It turned out to be a girl from Jiangyun, and, Jichun Gongzi?" Sha Li first glanced at the woman in red, and then his gaze lingered on the scholar-like man.

"Brother Sha's memory has improved, and he finally didn't remember his name wrong. But this girl sounds so awkward, isn't it good for you to call me sister?" The woman in red had slightly curled lips, as if she was resentful.

"Okay. Miss Jiangjun is looking for me to discuss something, right?" In fact, even if he didn't ask, Sha Li had already guessed seven or eight points about his intentions.

"What a stupid brother who doesn't know anything. The woman in red sighed and said helplessly.

"Well, we're here to talk to you about the preliminaries. How about joining forces?" her expression suddenly became serious.

"Do you mean, I, you, and Brother Wang?"

"Of course, it's best if we can have the last laugh together. ”

"Then, what does Brother Wang mean?" Sha Li looked at Wang Wuhai.

Wang is happy. ”

After the previous events, Wang Wuhai was determined to compete with Sha Li, and he was also faintly headed by Sha Li in his heart. Sha Li asked for his opinion in person at this moment, and he understood what he meant. And the woman in red obviously saw from the beginning that Sha Li was the one who made the plan, so she simply didn't ask Wang Wuhai.

"Jichun Gongzi also has no opinion?" Sha Li looked at the scholarly man who had never spoken to him, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"If you don't want to be a burden. Luo Jichun responded to Sha Li's sentence without saltiness, and closed his eyes directly.

Wang Wuhai was stunned, but Sha Li smiled and said nothing, not caring at all.

After half an hour, the grouping began.

According to the rules, participants in a group must re-register, and the Island Guard will remake a number plate with the information of multiple people, up to a maximum of 50 people. These special bibs will then be randomly grouped with the other participants' bibs before being redistributed to the original participants.

"The preliminaries have been grouped, and the number plates in your hands are burned with their respective group information. Enter the formation with the number plate and you will be assigned a ring. ”

"I announce that the qualifiers are now open!

With Yan Cangji's solemn announcement, on the huge stone tablet body, one teleportation array after another lit up again, and eight hundred and one contestants entered the formation one after another.

Then, according to the grouping information on the number plate, they appeared one by one on the huge ring cut out of the roots of the 10,000-year-old tree that had been dead for many years.

Seeing that all the contestants had entered the formation, Yan Cangji, who was standing on the platform of the stele, gave an order to the three high-ranking island guards who were standing around the stele under the stage.

"Open, flow like a light array!"

The three high-ranking island guards who received the order immediately pinched the seal in their hands and pointed to the brocade stone in front of them, which was as tall as them, and a stream of vitality poured into it.

There are three island guards, and each island guard activates a different color of the gold stone, which is red, yellow, and blue. After being intensified by the vitality of the island guard, the Jinshi first emitted a dazzling colored light, and in an instant, the colored light soared into the sky, straight into the sky, and three pillars of light of different colors ran through the heavens and the earth.

Immediately afterward, these three pillars of light slowly diffused, gradually intersecting with the other two pillars of light.

In the end, three huge light screens appeared in the venue, covering all the perspectives of the viewing area in the venue.

The first to appear on the huge light screen were dozens of island guards riding on the umbrellas, who were rushing to various ring areas, using the gold stones in their hands as a guide to transmit the results of the preliminaries to the audience in the arena.

"The three superb streams are like Jinshi, but they are such a big hand! I have not had such a grand event in Qiyuan Island for many years. Da Situ Luo Siyu stroked his white beard and smiled lightly.

"Thanks to the great sikong's support. Apart from him, there was no second person on the island who could come up with such three huge flowing stones. Yan Qingmu, who was sitting at the first table, responded with a faint smile, as if he was grateful to the Great Sikong King Wanzun.

"Hmph, how dare I hide such a big thing, otherwise I won't be poked in the back by this old pedant afterwards. Wang Wanzhu didn't know if it was because of the hemorrhage, but he sent his resentment to Luo Siyu.

"Heh, hehe. Luo Siyu looked extremely helpless, stretched out his hand and slowly pointed at Wang Wanjun and said:

"This stream is like a brocade stone, and I didn't let you come out, and when the game is over, it will be handed back to you, why bother looking for me to be unlucky?

After speaking, he waved his hand to cover his side face, wanting to cover the gaze from Wang Wanzhu.

"You ......"

"Okay, okay, you boys, don't let the old man watch the game?"

Wang Wanzhu wanted to say something more, but the old man in gray had already interrupted their verbal dispute with a faint mouth, but there was no reproach in his tone.

As the only Yuan who is qualified to walk in the sky in this ** venue among all the people present, its majesty is still inviolable, and it is not good for Da Situ and Da Sikong to entangle this matter anymore.

Since there are a total of 16 preliminaries in the formation, the screen can only switch back and forth between each ring. And the one in charge of switching is the formation mage who reflected the picture of dozens of island guards riding on the umbrella at the beginning.

He used the small streamer light array in his hand to receive the game footage transmitted back by each island defender, and then rhythmically projected it on the large light screen on the venue.

As soon as the screen of the big light screen turned, the ring of Shali's group of contestants appeared.

There were fifty people standing sparsely in the ring, but there were three groups of people who were too close to each other, obviously each in a team. Everyone was waiting for Yan Cangji's order to start attacking others.

At this time, Yan Cangji shouted at a palm-sized dark green brocade stone.

"Let's go!"

Scuffle, on!
