Chapter 115: The Contest Begins
In addition, the competition between disciples is relatively transparent, for example, the disciples of each sect are gathered in one place, and then stand in batches according to the position of their own sect, and compete on the stage in turn.
And the rules of the first round of the competition are that from among these disciples, according to the sect in one unit, and then everyone will draw lots as the way to play in order. This is the equivalent of an audition, leaving only half of these disciples to advance to the next round.
Therefore, the first round of the competition was only the stage of the first test, and Xie Changtian, as the coordinator of the sect, silently remembered the rules in his heart.
"This first round of competition is only the preliminary test stage, which is equivalent to the audition, at this time, you don't have to show all your strength, it's probably about the same as the rest of the pill grades. Don't expose all your foundations, otherwise after entering the next round, there will be nothing to take. ”
The disciples who had originally shown their skills in the first round suddenly understood, since this was the case, they had nothing to show in the first round, just see how much they revealed, and then be a little higher than their rank.
After all, it was a competition between disciples, and everyone hid their strength intentionally or unintentionally, so they have not used their true strength on the bright side.
In the end, the highest quality is still only the Returning Source Pill, and the grade is not high.
However, this audition stage really screened out a group of indiscriminate disciples, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit like the rules deliberately want to eliminate like this.
After the disciples who waited up came down and saw the elixirs they had refined, it was gratifying that all of them had entered the next round.
However, one of the younger disciples still said, "Teacher, I only have so much strength here, and I may only be able to go to the next round......
The next round is still a knockout round, but compared to the previous round, the number of eliminations is only a lot more.
Originally, Xie Changtian estimated that at least four people should be retained, but after the second round of competition, he found that there were only three disciples left on his side.
Next is the semi-finals, two by two, to choose a higher quality pill, which is undoubtedly more psychological pressure for the rest of the disciples.
Xie Changtian had already seen it at this time, and just said lightly: "Everyone put your mind at ease, no matter how many rankings you can enter, it doesn't matter, it's just for experience anyway." ”
After the second round, the minimum is also above the third order, so in the level of the duel between two and two, it will definitely break through the fifth order, and this strength can be said to be quite tragic among the disciples.
These words can be regarded as cheering for these disciples, and at this time, Xie Changtian has indeed seen it, and his expression is not as serious as before, which makes these disciples want to prove themselves even more.
Unexpectedly, in this third round, there was only one person left on my side......
Xie Changtian was still smiling: "It's okay, I thought it was going to be wiped out, but I didn't expect anyone to enter the semi-finals, I'm already very relieved." ”
After the results were announced at this time, there were eight people left on the field, and these eight people still entered the final round of the final round in the order of the draw.
The fundamental reason for this competition system is to keep the last place of the remaining sects and reduce the excess seats of some sects.
This is to maximize the decision to make a fair and just decision, of course, the consequences of doing so are also irreversible, and it is very likely that the quota of the remaining sect will be lost in the end.
Before it was the last disciple's turn to take the stage, Xie Changtian still comforted: "Now you just need to stabilize the fifth-order pill, no matter how bad this pill is, at least it can allow you to enter the final showdown." ”
This is the conclusion that Xie Changfeng came to after observation, you must know that these disciples have the highest talent, that is, the most advanced elixir of the fifth order, or the most widely circulated on the market. The last remaining disciple on his side, from his previous understanding, could know that his strength was sure that he could refine a fifth-order pill.
As for the finished product, he didn't dare to guarantee it, but in order to comfort him, Xie Changtian could only retreat and set the goal a little lower to reduce the psychological pressure on this person.
After he came to power, Xie Changtian has been watching the situation on the field, and each of the remaining sects actually understands each other in a fundamental sense, and also knows how much strength the other party has left.
The disciples on his side handled the first step very well, including the distribution of the remaining materials, and were even very proficient, and this refining should be the pill he was most familiar with.
Xie Changtian gradually put his mind at ease, but he didn't expect that when dealing with the last process, because of the heat, the furnace Ding actually trembled a little.
This unexpected accident suddenly made the rest of the disciples hold their breath, if there is no way to come out of the oven at this time, no matter how good the previous work is, it will fall short because of the heat.
Fortunately, it was still stable when it was finally baked, but the quality of the pill was indeed as Xie Changtian expected at the beginning, and it was miserable.
However, in the end, as long as it can be refined, Xie Changtian's goal has been achieved, and it is not too embarrassing.
Fortunately, the person who was fighting against him, because after seeing the other party's mistakes, gradually relaxed his vigilance, but he didn't expect that there was an accident in the furnace ding on his side, the pill had not yet been baked, and the entire furnace ding almost exploded.
After winning by luck, Xie Changtian hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the disciples on his side.
"You've done a good job, you can take a little rest in this last round, and after they finish the competition, there will only be three or four people left at most, and then there will only be one disciple left in the remaining sects, take advantage of this time, you can take a good look at how they do alchemy." ”
This disciple has completely put his mind at ease, and he also knows that in addition to his own luck, he is also encouraged by Xie Changtian on the side to get to this point.
After being extremely grateful, he looked at the situation on the field intently.
And Xie Changtian has always observed the people in the audience, and he has a hunch that there are real alchemy masters among these people, but they have not shown it.
Compared to his own strength, he naturally did not pose any threat to these people, and among the remaining disciples, there should be very few people who could refine the fifth-order pill and have good appearance.
From this point of view, the level of these teachers should be lower than his own, so after thinking of this, Xie Changtian was completely relieved. As long as he doesn't kill a Cheng biting gold halfway, he has the strength to win over everyone on the field.
