Chapter 32: No Opponents
Martial Arts Square has become a little different today, I don't know when, the soldiers here have arranged thirty-two rings on the huge square, each ring stands a silver-armored soldier, around the ring, there are four bronze armored soldiers, this time, the hell world is extremely rare to use more than thirty silver-armored soldiers, it can be seen that the hell world attaches great importance to the semi-annual qualifying match.
Chu Yu saw the soldiers stationed at the gate of the corridor, and distributed a token one by one, this is a brand new token, with the names of the contestants and the ring number on it, and can record the record points of the round-robin at any time, this token is different from the accumulated energy points commonly used before, and will not be confused.
Chu Yu glanced at the token in his hand, which said 'Chu Yu', 'Eighteen' Ring, and had already arranged a challenge ring in advance, for him, all that was left to do was to have a one-on-one round-robin battle with the other contestants in the eighteenth ring in the first round of the round-robin.
"Eighteen ......"
"I don't know if I've met an old opponent!"
He believes that in this kind of battle, there will be a few seeded players in each ring, as for whether there is a dark horse, it is unknown, but I heard the old driver before say that there are dark horses in every qualifying match, and the combat effectiveness is extremely amazing.
Those who got the token went to the challenge ring where they were, and there was a silver-armored soldier waiting above the ring, this time, the challenge ring had the blessing of the formation, which was much higher than the previous formation, after all, when it came to the back, it must be able to withstand the full force of the beginner martial artist of the Celestial Realm.
After a while, many people have come to the challenge ring one after another, they are looking at each other vigilantly, and the most important thing is to find the seeded players in their ring.
For some seeded players, they still have hope of winning, but for some seeded players, they would rather not go to the ring and just throw in the towel.
Chu Yu kept walking forward, observing the rings around him, some of the rings numbered sixteen, some were fifteen, and the ring he was in, the eighteenth ring, was in the center of the martial arts square.
At this time, he had already seen the eighteenth ring, and his luck was a little against the sky, and he didn't find a stronger seeded player.
Soon the order of appearance was drawn, anyway, they had to fight one by one, so Chu Yu didn't pay too much attention to it, and drew a lot at random, and the fifth appearance was extremely ordinary.
Boom!
When the drum beat in the challenge ring, thirty-two rings fought at the same time.
The battle was finally ignited.
This kind of challenge is different from today's one-star, and it is also different from the six challenges and being challenged every day, and this time, it will be decided whether to stay in the cruel test of the first half of the year.
Every young man is extremely cautious and gives his all to every battle.
Chu Yu looked at it for a while, then didn't look any further, observing the battle situation in other rings not far away, in some rings, seeded players appeared first, and the battle ended in almost a few rounds.
The battle in the eighteenth ring soon appeared to be won or lost, and there was still a gap in strength between the two sides.
The two got out of the ring.
"Next, let's go!"
The silver-armored soldier immediately presided over the second battle, one after the other, without any interruptions.
After watching for a while, the outcome of the battle in the eighteenth ring has been produced, and the second battle has begun.
After waiting like this for a while, it was Chu Yu's turn to get into the ring.
When Chu Yu stepped into the ring, the opponent was bitter, the difference in strength was too obvious, and he couldn't help but want to say to the silver-armored soldier who presided over the competition: "I admit defeat......"
"I think you can try it!" Chu Yu was stunned and said.
The corners of the man's mouth twitched obviously, and he chose to ignore Chu Yu's words, but he also knew that it was already a habit for the other party to say this, because he had already said it to many people more than once.
But only a small number of them will actually try, and almost all of them will directly admit defeat.
If you admit defeat without a fight, the silver-armored soldiers will not have an opinion, after all, this is a matter of freedom for these young people, respect the choice of these people, and the combat nature of the qualifying match is completely different from today's one-star and daily six challenges.
Chu Yu was slightly puzzled, so he had no choice but to get out of the ring, he knew that because of the challenges in the past three months, it had caused a huge mental impact on many young people, and the powerful combat power was so powerful that they couldn't even raise their fighting spirit.
Therefore, after he got out of the ring, he found an open space to sit up cross-legged, as long as it was his turn, he went directly to the ring, and every time his opponent, he was unwilling to fight with him, directly admitting defeat, leaving more energy to deal with the next opponent.
Obviously, these young people use tactics and strategies to participate in this kind of round-robin competition, as long as they encounter equal strength, everyone fights to the death, and when they encounter too big a disparity, they directly abandon the battle.
In this way, because it is a two-by-two battle, there are only seven and a half groups of fifteen people, and soon the second small round of battle, two-by-two battles, without any time to rest, is extremely important for the selection of tactics and strategies, and it also tests the recovery speed of a martial artist's vitality, as well as the cultivation resources accumulated in the previous months.
If there is a Blood Qi Pill or a low-grade Yuan Crystal, it will recover faster than the opponent's loss of Yuan Qi, and for the next opponent, the chance of winning is even greater.
Chu Yu stepped into the ring again, the opponent in front of him was a little familiar, he had a battle a few months ago, although the opponent lost in the end, but he chose to face it head-on, he could be regarded as a man, but this time, this guy also directly chose to give up.
"I throw in the towel." The man said helplessly.
The silver-armored soldier frowned, and glanced at Chu Yu with his eyes, for this guy, these instructors know everything clearly, since entering the hell world, this guy has not lost once, no wonder these important qualifying matches, the opponent will choose to give up the battle and admit defeat, after all, it is more practical to leave more energy to face the next opponent.
"There is no opponent......" Chu Yu was a little depressed in his heart, it seemed that the young man in the eighteen rings had made up his mind not to fight me.
After a few smaller rounds like this, Chu Yu's mood slowly changed, and he set his sights on the real battle in the second round.
It wasn't until noon that the final ring was over, which meant that all the battles in the first round had completed the final ranking points.
A lot of people were frustrated, and almost all of them knew the result of this qualifying session early on.
"Hey, I can only wait for half a year......"
"I'm so unlucky, if I can draw the other groups, maybe I'll be able to make it to the second round."
"It's really unfair, aren't the instructors biased?"
"It's a shame that you almost made it to the second round!"
Those who failed to make it to the top four had extremely regretful expressions, some resented that the draw was bad, some resented the unfair qualifying format, and even more resentful of the instructors, they could only regretfully leave the vicinity of those battle rings and were divided into a viewing area.
Thirty-two rings, the top four are selected, and a total of 128 people can enter the second round of qualifying.
Chu Yu had no opponents, and he entered this second round without tasting a battle.
"This time, there should be people who won't give up the war, right?" Chu Yu was secretly looking forward to it in his heart.
He glanced at the young people who were shortlisted slightly, and they were lining up to choose their opponents, and those who ranked in the top sixty-four automatically became the top sixty-four, and the sixty-four people behind drew lots to challenge their opponents, after all, many people behind them had the same record.
If it's relatively fair, you can only choose to challenge by lottery.
Chu Yu's ranking is sixteen, which means that there are fifteen people in front of Chu Yu who are also victorious, and there are several people behind Chu Yu who are also victorious.
There are 22 winners in the first round, not to mention even more people who have only lost one game.
There are a lot of powerful people, and the phenomenon of a large difference in strength is also very obvious.
