After watching the 9 matchups, Li Lianlong went straight back to the room. As for the last place in the battle for tenth, he didn't care.

After all, the person who was thrown into the top 10 spot couldn't be his opponent.

After watching it for so long, there were only three people he felt threatened by him, namely Umtiti, Rakitic, and Yang Kun.

All three of them are super masters who have touched the edge of the guardian a little bit and stayed for a long time in the late stage of the grandmaster. The one named Yang Kun is still a member of the Huaxia team.

Even Chen Ping'an said confidently that the first place in this duel should fall into the hands of Yang Kun. Of course, the premise is that no one can break through and become a guardian during the game.

After all, they are completely different levels, even if you have the ability to challenge beyond the level at the grandmaster level. But if it's against the Guardians, there's no chance of any winning.

At this point, Chen Ping'an feels that he has the most right to speak. Because he went from the Grandmaster to the position of Guardian. He was well aware that there would be a radical change between the two ranks.

In the end, it took about a week, and the tenth place finally fell into the dust. What surprised Li Lianlong was that the person who finally won the quota was actually an evil god.

"Hey, hey, that's good!" Li Lianlong looked at each other with the demeanor of an elder looking at a younger junior when he saw the evil god.

No way, he had defeated the evil god before, so he could tease his opponent in this way.

"Get out!" the evil god is now upset when he sees Li Lianlong. Although they can't beat themselves, they are the same family, so naturally they won't fight because of a quarrel.

The rest of the tournament gets interesting, as the Grandmaster tournament requires a place in the quarterfinals.

Therefore, in addition to a round of two-on-two matchups, there is also a competition for a place in the top eight. Anyway, it's just fighting to the death, and that's the terrible thing about the grandmaster-level competition.

Lienlong's first-round opponent was Umtiti, one of the three strongest. However, Li Lianlong was not surprised at all, but felt that this was a challenge and worth looking forward to.

"See? In the early days of the only Grandmaster in the top ten who was not favored, his opponent was Umtiti, one of the three strongest. ”

"I think his good fortune has come to an end. ”

"That is, I originally thought that he had the ability to defeat the powerhouses in the late stage of the Grandmaster, but now it seems that it is also because the Huaxia team is confident enough in themselves. After escorting this one to get the top ten, the defeated grandmaster will fight in the later stage. Don't you see, three of the top ten seats are from Huaxia!"

The onlookers and comments from the audience belittled Li Lianlong as worthless, and Li Lianlong was used to it. In his opinion, this is really not a big problem, so he can naturally face it calmly.

"Li Shuai, if you really feel that you are not an opponent, you will admit defeat. I can come on the field at any time to save you, your battlefield is in five years, or even ten years later, the stage will still be yours, understand?" Chen Ping'an looked at Li Lianlong very seriously.

Because he really doesn't think that Li Lianlong has a chance of winning against Umtiti.

However, the latter just glanced at Chen Ping'an mockingly, and then didn't say anything.

The first match of the quarterfinals begins, and this match is arguably the most popular among the spectators.

Because after the quarterfinals, basically all the strong players will get a final ranking. Of course, the ranking starts from eighth, which means that even if you make it to the top 10, if you become the two who are eliminated, you still don't have a place in the end.

"Then I announce that the first game has officially begun, and Huaxia Li Shuai and European Umtiti are invited to play!"

As the referee announced the start, Li Lianlong slowly stepped into the ring.

In contrast, the Grandmaster-level ring will be different from the Master-level ring. It can even be said that it is specially made, and even two guardians have been put in the grounds as protective shields to prevent the auditorium from being severely hit.

Of course, the two Guardians will also have times when they take a nap, and sometimes only one of them will be on duty, so it will be a bit difficult to get them to prevent the Grandmaster's death.

Umtiti didn't look at Li Lianlong after he came on the field, and he didn't even bother to speak. Because he felt that the other party was not of the same level as him at all. As soon as he made a move, he planned to kill Li Lianlong in seconds.

But he never expected that Li Lianlong would easily dodge.

"Oh?"

Although he was a little confused, he was not shocked for long. Even the next moment he continued to attack, and he did it with the idea of wanting to kill Li Lianlong.

"If you want to kill me, one move is obviously not enough!" Li Lianlong became angry, and easily dodged the opponent's attack with ghost steps.

Finally, after Li Lianlong dodged two attacks from Umtiti in a row, the latter began to pay attention to Li Lianlong's opponent.

"Very good, it seems that I really underestimated you!"

This is the first time that Umtiti has spoken to Li Lianlong in the true sense. It's just that in Umtiti's eyes, Li Lianlong is a dead man after all. Because of all his opponents, basically none of them left alive.

He and Li Lianlong can be said to be the Grandmaster killers, and eighty percent of the casualties are caused by the two of them.

Although Umtiti carries a European nationality, he is a mixed-race black man and is relatively indifferent to life, which is why he is so indifferent. And he thinks that Li Lianlong also caused a lot of killings in the game, and he doesn't need to spare the other party's life at all.

Seeing that Li Lianlong no longer dodged, but attacked, Umtiti still did not pull out his weapon.

A person of his level has a strange thought, that if he wants to draw his sword, the other party must at least have enough strength.

"Nikko!"

Li Lianlong knew that if he didn't show something out, the other party would probably not take him seriously at all. In this situation, he directly used the sword technique Nikko.

Sure enough, in the face of this move, even Umtiti was slightly injured.

He looked at the wounds on his body and said slowly, "Very good, you are qualified to let me draw the knife." I underestimated you before!"

Li Lianlong had a smile on his face, but the attack did not stop, in addition to his sword skills, he also became more and more proficient in using the katana.

Of course, in fact, Li Lianlong is most familiar with swordsmanship, but now he has no sword by his side, and he has not been able to fully exert his strength.

When Umtiti pulled out the knife, Li Lianlong noticed that the corners of the other party's mouth rose slightly.

When the two knives collided together, he kind of understood why Umtiti was laughing because it was just a blow. The ghost knife in his hand was cut off by the opponent's weapon.
