After a day of intense competition, the first round of the preliminary round finally came to an end. With the exception of two pairs of strong but unlucky teams who were equally strong and lost, there was little suspense in the rest of the matches. These losses do not mean that they are not eligible to participate in this competition again. In order to minimize the accidents caused by this element of luck, all of these eliminated teams will enter the elimination group.

The top three teams in the knockout group and the thirteen teams that won on the third day of the tournament will be combined to determine the top 10 teams.

Thirty-three teams were eliminated in the preliminary round on the first day, while Li Xiao's team had to draw lots with the remaining thirty-three teams, and then the second day's competition.

Take out a stick from the box with the isolation formation printed on it at random and open it to take a look. Li Xiao's first reaction was that someone had done something tricky, but he had also checked the sign box before, and the formation on it was absolutely not fake, as long as there was a divine sense that wanted to break through the formation, the alarm would be triggered immediately. Even the divine consciousness of a god-shifting monk cannot be avoided. After checking the sign box again and finding that there was indeed no problem, Li Xiao immediately went to find the location of Yuan Mojiang. only to find that the other party was also looking at himself, and when he saw himself looking over, a smile appeared on his face.

Li Xiao sighed in his heart, sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy, so there is a way to cheat. Shaking the wooden skewer with Beiyi written in his hand, Li Xiao also replied with a smile containing deep meaning.

After registering his fights, his opponent's information was soon announced. Seeing the information of his opponent on the bulletin board, Li Xiao sneered, as expected. His opponent is Nancheng District, which was recognized as the eleventh place in the last session and the strongest team in the preliminary round tomorrow. Then Li Xiao watched the matches of the other teams tomorrow, and then silently left the school field and returned to his camp.

The next day, when Li Xiao led his team to the school field in Beicheng District, it was already crowded. There are a lot more people than when Li Xiao watched the competition yesterday, and Li Xiao can guess that a large part of them came to see his game. Before, many people only heard that Li Xiao led the team to defeat the elite of the entire Beicheng District team, but only some people saw it. Now that I have this opportunity to see for myself, naturally many people don't want to miss it. However, they were doomed to disappointment.

Li Xiao came relatively late, and when he arrived, the first competition was almost about to start. However, she did not take her team into the competition venue, but walked directly to the stands specially prepared for these competition teams, and only Li Xiao walked on the competition venue alone. Just when everyone was surprised by his actions, Li Xiao directly said in a voice that could be heard by the whole audience: "In this competition, I don't want to waste everyone's time, so we chose to admit defeat and enter the elimination group." ”

As soon as Li Xiao spoke, the audience was in an uproar, and for a while, various voices sounded on the field. There are complaints and blames, as well as praise, among which are his opponents. After all, Li Xiao is a novice team, and it is a wise choice to choose to save his strength to participate in the knockout round in the face of such a strong veteran team.

At this time, Li Xiao's opponent, a middle-aged man with a full beard but a well-groomed man who did not look sloppy, spoke: "If it were at other times, I would very much like to have a fight with your team." But this time I don't want to. I also have to thank you, your admission of defeat also saved me from being used as a gunman. I hope to be able to compete with your team in the finals later. As he spoke, he hugged Li Xiao with a fist.

Li Xiao smiled and hugged his fists as well, then turned around and walked away from the square. Before leaving, he seemed to inadvertently glance at Yuan Mojiang in the stands. found that the other party did not show an irritated expression that the plan had been destroyed, and when he saw Li Xiao looking over, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Then the lips moved. The next moment, a voice sounded in Li Xiao's ears: "The little guy is very interesting, but this is just an appetizer, and the show is still to come." As long as you are still in the army, as long as you still want to be a commander, you will never escape the palm of my hand. Don't think that Lao Kun is supporting you, in fact, he is just using you. He's not really going to turn his face on me for you. Do it yourself. ”

In this regard, Li Xiao just smiled. The other party is right, although the Kun Demon General appreciates him, he only sees him as a chess piece, and will not fall out with Yuan Demon General for him. However, Li Xiao never pinned his hopes on the other party, and only used each other.

The second day was even more exciting than the first, and this time there were four groups of teams with similar strengths, and it was inevitable that there would be a battle between the dragons and the tigers. For these competitions, if you can see it, Li Xiao will go to see it in person. At the same time, the competition is made to have their battle process recorded. From the two-day competition, Li Xiao has a general understanding of these teams that have entered the elimination group. With the exception of a few teams, the others were no threat to them. Therefore, the focus will be on the teams that enter the elimination group on the third day, and they are the ones Li Xiao cares about the most. Because of the third day of the competition, the top 10 from the previous edition will also be added to the draw.

When the results of the lottery on the third day came out, Li Xiao sighed secretly again in his heart, and the result was indeed the situation he was most worried about. On the third day of the competition, only the eighth and tenth places in the bottom 10 did not meet the other top 10 teams, and the other six teams were all matched. They are the first place against the fourth place, the third place against the sixth place, and the fifth place against the seventh place, that is to say, no matter who wins or loses in the three groups, Li Xiao will compete with them in the elimination group for the top three qualifications. At that time, there will definitely be a wheel war, and that will be the most disadvantageous for him.

However, relatively speaking, it is better than not entering the elimination group. In the knockout group, he only has to fight the two top 10 finishers once at most. And if he doesn't enter the knockout group, then he will not only have to fight the previous eleven once, but the next third day must be against the first place in the previous session. After the opponent comes out of the elimination group, they will definitely play again. So overall, it's better to be in the knockout group, and at least in the top 10 fights, he only needs to play the first place once. You don't have to meet in advance.

For Yuan Demon General's wanton manipulation of the game, several other Demon Generals will have more or less some opinions, especially Kun Demon General. Although for them, it's just a game. But Yuan Moyi directly blocked their mouths with a sentence: "My rankings have been given to you, what else are you going to do?" Moreover, his arrangement did not have much impact on the final first place, so everyone turned a blind eye.

The third day of competition came as scheduled, and the first day of the preliminary round was the most exciting in decades. The top 10 of the three teams in the last session faced each other separately, and the battle scene was just like the semi-finals, and the audience was enthusiastic. They all fought to the end, and won or lost by a very small margin. The victory and defeat were similar in the last session, and the fourth, sixth, and seventh ranked bottom finally failed to enter the elimination group, becoming Li Xiao's biggest rival out of the elimination group.

After the first three days of competition, the winner will have a few days off as the next few days will be the knockout bracket. Not all teams have to participate in the competition in the knockout group, and they can choose to give up according to their own situation. In previous years, there were usually a small number of teams who felt that their strength was not good and chose to give up. This year's situation is a bit different, as there are three top-10 finishers from the previous edition in the knockout group. And this time, only the top three were selected in the elimination group, so except for a very small number of people who thought they still had the opportunity to fight with the three teams, the others chose to give up. In the end, with the addition of Li Xiao's team participating in the competition, there were only eight teams in total, two in the Middle East and three in the other two districts.

The fourth day of the game is still decided by lot, and the winner is determined by one game. This time, Li Xiao won the seventh place in the previous session, the team led by Feng Kui of Nancheng District. Feng Kui himself was a monk in the late Yuan Infant period, and there were three early Yuan Infant squad leaders in his team. It's also a veteran team.
