Chapter 124: Rules of the Competition
The early morning sun had only broken through the clouds, and the huge practice ground in the disciple area of the Qi Sect was already noisy with gongs and drums, and the voices of people were boiling. Looking down from www.biquge.info height, the crowd was densely packed together like ants, surrounding the edge of the practice field, leaving a large circle in the center of the practice field.
Gu Chen came to the practice ground early, different from a month, he had an extra long sword on his back, although the long sword was in the sheath, but the groaning did not stop, and it was not ordinary at first glance. There is a Tai Chi pattern on the hilt of the long sword, if the old disciples of the Sword Pavilion see this sword, they will be surprised, this sword is the attack spirit treasure of the Sword Pavilion, the Liangyi Sword, which was personally given to Gu Chen by Elder Jiang Feng this morning, which shows the importance he attaches to Gu Chen.
Jiu'er, Lei Ling'er, Sima Yu, and Mo Ye also came to the practice ground together with Gu Chen, today, is the most important day of the Instrument Sect, the annual Instrument Sect Competition.
The Great Ratio of the Instrument Sect is not only about the reputation of the disciples, but also closely related to their future achievements. The top 100 in Dabi will be selected into the General Sect of the Instrument Sect, where there are better resources, better teachers, and more opportunities, and the disciples who can enter the General Sect will often be able to go further on the path of spiritual cultivation.
Every time there are more than 1,000 disciples who sign up for the big competition, the chance of entering the top 100 is less than 1 in 10, so how easy is it to talk about it! Some disciples know that they will not be able to enter the top 100, but they still have enough strength to get a top position. They will continue to stay in Platinum City to divide their spiritual cultivation, and their ranking is the basis for how much resources they can allocate in their spiritual cultivation in the future.
Every disciple who participated in the competition wanted to rank high, and was fully prepared for the big competition, the battles were often exciting, even the old disciples who had entered the Spirit Gathering Mirror in the past would not miss this grand event, plus the mentors, deacons, and elders, there were only thousands of people who participated, and there were tens of thousands of onlookers.
According to this year's statistics, a total of 1,120 disciples have signed up to participate in the big competition, except for Gu Chen, Jiu'er, Lei Ling'er, Sima Yu and Mo Ye, the others are all old disciples, that is to say, among the newcomers, only Gu Chen and the five of them have signed up.
This is not surprising, Gu Chen's newcomers have only been in the spirit setting realm for half a year, and the realm is the highest in Jiu'er, and the spirit setting mirror has been completed. The second is Lei Ling'er, Sima Yu and Mo Ye, all three of them are ground-level golden spirit talents, and they have all reached the middle and late stages of the Spirit Mirror, which is similar to Gu Chen, and they are already qualified to participate.
As for the other newcomers, the most of the Xuan-level talents have just reached the middle stage of the Spirit Mirror, and most of the rest are still lingering in the early stage of the Spirit Mirror. There is no way, the early to middle stage of the spirit mirror is equivalent to the spirit mirror to the spirit mirror, and its difficulty can be imagined. Gu Chen's talent is poor, but he is extremely diligent, coupled with the fact that he has never lacked spirit stones, and he has a spiritual spring as water to drink, his current realm is hard to pile up by diligence and resources.
The other disciples were far less wealthy than Gu Chen, and some of them were flexible enough to receive the tasks issued by the Instrument Sect to earn additional spirit stones to assist in cultivation, and the more lazy ones were directly to receive the ten lower-grade spirit stones issued every month for cultivation, which caused the gap in the realm to widen and widen.
Among the old disciples, the lowest realm is in the middle stage of the Spirit Mirror, and there are very few in the middle stage of the Spirit Mirror, after all, they have one more year of spiritual cultivation. Realm, although it is not the only criterion for combat power, is an important criterion, generally speaking, the participation of newcomers is equivalent to looking for abuse, and it is not yet the time for them to compete.
Due to the large number of participants, in order to complete the competition faster, the rules of the competition formulated by the Instrument Sect were simple and rude, and 1,120 people fought one-on-one by drawing lots, and 560 people won the first round.
These 560 people then fought one-on-one by drawing lots, winning 280 in the second round and 140 in the third round.
The next fourth round of battle belonged to the melee, all 140 people went up to the high platform of the training ground, and the 40 people who fell off the high platform first were eliminated under the melee, and the remaining 100 people were preliminarily identified as the top 100.
Why is it called a preliminary determination?
Because there is a certain element of luck in such battle rules, for example, if Pang Zhenghao, the second of the recognized Soul Mirror, is extremely unlucky and meets Wu Fa in the first round, he will be eliminated immediately. It is also possible that a disciple with poor strength, due to too good luck, the disciples who were drawn from the three rounds of battle draw are all at the bottom, and there are too many uncertain factors in the melee, not that you are strong, if you encounter a strong opponent like Wu Fa, it only takes a moment for you to come out, in this way, the disciples who are not strong in strength are also likely to enter the top hundred.
Therefore, for the sake of fairness, after the first hundred disciples are initially determined, they have to accept challenges from other disciples. Once another disciple defeats you, he will take your place and take on the challenge of the others.
Until the end, no one dares to challenge you anymore, you will be considered to have passed the test and become the real top 100.
After the top 100 are determined, it is the highlight of Dabi, and the old disciples who have gathered spirits are often here for this.
One hundred people should be divided into ten groups for a round-robin competition, each group of ten people, and the top two in each group will be ranked by points, and these two disciples are the top ten candidates. In order to ensure absolute fairness, the personnel distribution of each group is co-presided over by the elders of the three pavilions, and the distribution is reasonable according to the performance of the disciples in the previous rounds, and all the relatively strong disciples will not be divided into a group, nor will all the relatively weak disciples be divided into a group.
In the end, the first disciple of each group signed a contract to fight against the second disciple of the other group, so as to avoid strong battles, and the ten people who were decided were the top ten of the Great Competition of the Instrument Sect.
And the Instrument Sect will give huge rewards to the top ten disciples every year.
Next, there is the climax of the game, the strongest ten people against each other.
It is still a round-robin tournament and a method of points, according to the number of points, the final ranking of ten people is discharged, and the prizes are divided into several grades. The disciples ranked sixth to tenth are one grade, the fourth and fifth are one grade, the second and third are one grade higher, and the first place can not only win a great honor, but the prize is also the most enviable, a real heavy prize.
"Wow......" At this moment, there was a commotion from the crowd, and a group of people slowly walked from outside the practice ground.
The old man at the head is tall, with a childish face and crane hair, and a majestic face, it is Yu Wenjin, the sect leader of the Platinum City Branch of the Instrument Sect, followed by Jiang Feng, Wei Zhen, and Lu Yanluo, and behind the three elders are the ten elders of each of the Sword Pavilion, the Sword Pavilion, and the Arrow Pavilion, and the thirty-four people in the group represent the highest level of the Instrument Sect, and also represent the incomparable importance that the Instrument Sect attaches to Dabi. Thirty-four people passed through the huge training ground and went straight to the high platform.
Looking at the 10,000 disciples under the platform, the sect master spoke: "The Great Competition of the Instrument Sect is the grand event of my Instrument Sect, and it is the best platform to exert and demonstrate your strength, every successful person has a beginning, let the Great Competition of the Instrument Sect become the beginning of your strong road, you are all the pride and hope of my Instrument Sect, children, come on!"
"Sect Master...... Sect Master ......" Tens of thousands of people in the audience shouted excitedly, and the sect master's just a few words made their blood boil.
Stretching out his hand into the air and gently pressing down, more than 10,000 disciples instantly quieted down, and the sect master raised his voice and shouted: "This sect announces that the annual big competition of the Platinum City Branch of the Instrument Sect will begin!"
