Chapter Eighty-Six: The Repechage and the Top 100

knew that Lu Yi was going to the Shujue Building. The two of them led Lu Yi to the bulletin board in front of the Shuji Building, where there was a spirit list posted on it, announcing matters related to the Top 100 Competition.

The announcement is as follows: This top 100 competition is divided into two stages.

The first stage is called the Repechage. In order to better and more accurately select the elites of the sect, the repechage competition is specially set up, the content of the repechage is not in the top 100 players, and those who think they have the strength to beat the top 100 players can launch a challenge, and the challenge can replace the position of the challenged person and participate in the follow-up top 100 competition. Each top 100 player has a chance to be challenged, and in order to prevent the competition from being too long due to the large number of challengers, several conditions are set, and only those who meet the conditions can obtain the only qualification for the challenge. The first condition is that the challenger's cultivation level must be higher than that of the challenged, that is, the middle of the third order can challenge the early stage of the third order, and so on. The second condition is that those who practice and restrain each other cannot be challenged, because when the two sides of the exercises and methods are fighting, there is a certain degree of suppression on the person who is overcome, and it cannot reflect the true level. The third condition is that if several of the challenged players meet the first two conditions and start the challenge, the challengers will determine the winner of the challenge, and the winner will be qualified for the challenge. Registration for this repechage tournament will officially start on the first day of February, the registration deadline will be on the third day of February, and the fifth day of February will officially begin.

The second stage is called the Top 100. As the name suggests, it is a duel between the top 100 players. The top 100 competition is divided into five groups, each group of 10 people, in a single round-robin manner, and the top five players in each group advance to the top 50. These 50 people will represent Yaoshan in the Southern Regions Rookie Tournament a year later. The top 50 sects that will receive sect rewards will contribute 5,000 points, 100 lower-grade spirit stones, and a third-order middle-grade magic weapon. This reward has increased from the announcement half a year ago, which shows the importance that the sect attaches to the Southern Regions Rookie Competition.

The top 50 of the top 100 competition will be fully cultivated by the sect, and within a year, the elders who have cultivated above the sixth order will personally guide them one-on-one, and a year later, a small ranking competition will be held, and those who enter the top ten will be rewarded with third-order high-grade magic weapons, and it is said that the top three will be rewarded with fourth-order lower-grade magic weapons.

The announcement of these two events immediately caused a sensation among the rookie disciples, and a new wave of advancement arrived. Because among the current top 100, there are about forty people who are third-order early stage cultivators, which makes some of the eliminated third-order high-level monks see hope again, and some of the original monks who have reached the peak of the early stage of the third order are also ready to move, planning to use only a few days to impact the lower level of cultivation, in case they can advance, they will have the qualification to challenge.

After reading the announcement, Lu Yi was a little unimpressed, after all, he was now a fourth-order cultivator, and he could win them with his eyes closed. It's Li Da Niu, his cultivation has only hit the early stage of the third order, and he is in the top 100 with the help of Lu Yi, this time it is very likely to encounter a strong challenge, but Li Da Niu holds a third-order high-grade magic weapon, the Sky Shaking Hammer, and it is not easy for ordinary monks to win him. And Mo Yao Fangcong, including Li Shuquan, are all veteran third-order cultivators, and their cultivation is infinitely close to the middle of the third order and has even reached the middle of the third order, according to the distribution of the strength of the top 100, as long as they reach the middle of the third order, the chance of encountering challenges is almost non-existent, so a few of them should be able to maintain themselves steadily within the top 100, and even hit the top 50.

Lu Yi told the two of them to go back and spread a message to everyone, calm down these days, adjust their state to meet the upcoming challenge, he has been busy these days, it is impossible to meet with everyone often, if there is an emergency, he will summon him, so he entered the magic building alone and went straight to the fifth floor.

For three consecutive days, Lu Yi ran to the Shuji Building every day, and roughly browsed the fifth floor of the Shuji Building, but he didn't find a suitable exercise. There was no way, Lu Yi had to ask Jin Chunzi for help, after seeing Jin Chunzi, Lu Yi explained his intention, Jin Chunzi was very surprised by Lu Yi's entry, Lu Yi said part of his encounter in the tide pool, just said that there was an old-timer who felt that he had a good eye for himself, and used the "Nine Star Empowerment Array" to help him improve his cultivation, but he hid the content of the jade pendant. Unexpectedly, Jin Chunzi actually knew about this "Nine-Star Empowerment Array", according to Jin Chunzi, this "Nine-Star Empowerment Array" It has an effect on monks below the sixth order, but the level of the spirit stones consumed varies greatly, and the side effects are not the same: the first and second order cultivation, you can cast spells with the lower grade spirit stones, and there are no side effects, but the first and second order cultivation is very simple, and it is almost impossible to use this array; the third order needs to use the middle grade spirit stones, and there are no side effects, but for the third order monks, the middle grade spirit stones are not so easy to obtain; the fourth order is to use the top grade spirit stones, and the number is ninety-nine eighty-one, and the side effect is that there will be no more entry within ten years of cultivation; the number of top-grade spirit stones to be used in the fifth order has reached one hundred and ninety-nine, the side effect is that there will be no more entry within a hundred years, and the sixth order is said to use a heavenly amount of top-grade spirit stones, the number is unknown, and the side effect is that the cultivation will stop here for the rest of his life, and there will be no more progress. There is also a limitation, that is, the "Nine-Star Empowerment Array" can only be used once at the same level, and there will be no effect if it is used again, the "Nine-Star Empowerment Array" The most troublesome part is how much the empowerment gives people to improve their cultivation, which is greatly affected by the qualifications of the initiated, and the better the qualifications, the more obvious the improvement, which makes some people who originally wanted to use this array to improve the strength of those with poor qualifications feel that the input and output are quite inappropriate, and the biggest risk is that the recipients of this array will bring great pain due to the infusion of spiritual power far beyond their own carrying capacity in the process of receiving the Dharma, and the more advanced the formation, the greater the pain will be, if the recipient cannot bear this pain and causes the failure of the Dharma, then the cultivation will stay in the state before receiving the Dharma for the rest of his life, and even have a certain chance of the recipient dying because of too much spiritual power. Therefore, although there are not a few people who originally know this formation, the spirit stones consumed are too huge for the level that needs to be upgraded, so this "Nine-Star Empowerment Array" is rarely used, and it will only be used when there is an irresistible event in the big family sect, so this array gradually fades out of people's sight and is forgotten by the world. Nowadays in the mainland, there are many ways to improve the cultivation of monks, such as using pills and so on, although the effect is not so exaggerated, but the cost is relatively low, and the side effects are also strange. Jin Chunzi only knew that there was such a formation in some ancient anecdotes recorded in the mainland, but he didn't know how to do it. However, after listening to Jin Chunzi's description of the "Nine Star Empowerment Array", Lu Yi had a bold idea.
