Chapter 385: Overview of the Competition
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Kai and Luo Shuang asked Liu Xiaosan to take Liu Xiaosan to walk around in Sangyuan City in the past three days, but there was still no news about the top-grade spirit stones, but they heard a lot of people repeat the same words, and the top-grade spirit stones may only be found in the Sanqing Palace.
Three days have passed, and the selection competition of the Hidden Dragon and Phoenix List in Kuwabara City has officially begun.
At nine o'clock in the morning of the same day, Chen Kai and Luo Shuang went to the school field in the west of the city, where the martial arts competition was held. Although the competition didn't start until nine o'clock in the morning, when Chen Kai and Luo Shuang arrived, the huge school yard could be said to be almost surrounded by water, and there was a large sea of people.
Naturally, most of the people were residents of Kuwabara Castle and came to see the excitement. The other part is naturally the people who participate in the competition.
Fortunately, the people of the Five Heavenly Sects who organized this competition had obviously been prepared for the situation at this moment, and had already divided the entire school field into areas, and a very spacious arena was set up in the central area of the huge school field that was enough to accommodate no less than 100,000 people.
The area of the ring is about ten meters square, and the ground of the ring is not known to be paved with a kind of rock, which is carved with formation patterns, and I think those formation patterns should be some reinforcement and defense type formation patterns to prevent the ring from being broken during the competition.
There were twenty rings in total, arranged in the middle of a four-by-five pattern. The distance between them was also five or six meters, and the ground outside the ring was also covered with rocks carved with formations, which were a defensive shield to resist the aftermath of attacks in the ring, so as not to affect the people who were competing in the ring, or injure people in the distance.
There is a fence around the perimeter of the twenty rings, which encloses the entire ring area in the middle. A large circle on the outer and inner layers of the ring is also separated by railings, and this circle belongs to the waiting area of the people participating in the competition, and outside this circle is the area where ordinary people can watch the battle.
Because the twenty rings themselves are built relatively high, people in the outer area will not be blocked by the people in front of them, and they can't see the battle situation in the ring.
Chen Kai and Luo Shuang used their participation ID cards to directly enter the inner layer of the contestant's waiting area. Those who did not participate in the competition and did not have identity tags could only honestly walk to the 'audience area' on the periphery.
"Chen Kai. That's a lot of people! Luo Shuang looked at the crowded crowd around him and couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, this school is large enough, otherwise it would not have been able to accommodate so many people.
Chen Kai nodded slightly, "Well, it is estimated that there should be no less than fifty or sixty thousand people at this time." There are so many people coming later, maybe the number of people who come here in the end may exceed 100,000! ”
100,000 people are nothing if they are in the outside world, after all, a large city with a population of tens of millions in the outside world can't be counted on two hands.
But here, 100,000 people is a staggering number. As far as Chen Kai knew, the original number of residents of this Kuwayuan City should not have exceeded five or six hundred thousand.
And Kuwabara City is already one of the three largest and most populous cities in the 'Cangyuan Domain'.
If the number of people who come to this school to watch the battle in the end can really reach 100,000 people. That's at least one out of every seven or eight people in Kuwabara Castle, and the ratio is staggering.
Of course, this is with the removal of those more than 10,000 contestants.
"I heard that there are more than 10,000 people participating in this competition, and I really don't know when it will be our turn." Luo Shuang whispered.
"I can only wait slowly, otherwise what else can I do." Chen Kaidao. If they want to get the high-grade spirit stone now, they can only find a way to sneak into the Sanqing Palace, or at least they must first blend into one of the five great heavenly sects, so that they can have a chance.
So, no matter what, I can only wait patiently.
"Hmm. But there are twenty rings here. If it goes fast, it won't take too long. Luo Shuang said.
They had already figured out the way of this contest. The more than 10,000 contestants were divided into 10 groups, each with more than 1,000 people, and the 20 rings were contested according to two rings in each group.
Of the more than 1,000 people in each group, only 100 were able to advance from this initial group stage. The way to advance is also very simple. It is divided into the winner's bracket and the loser's bracket. The upper bracket is always in the form of a single winner, until the final top 100 is considered to be promoted.
The lower bracket starts with the first round of competition, and all the losers of each round join the lower bracket. The lower bracket is also in the form of a single winner, and only if you keep winning. Win until the end to have a chance to advance, and as long as you lose one more game after entering the lower bracket, you will be eliminated completely.
There are only 100 spots in each group to qualify for the group stage. As long as there are 100 places, then you have to continue to play until you have exactly 100 places.
According to Liu Xiaosan, usually every time the Hidden Dragon and Phoenix List is held in each state, the first round of the group stage takes at least three or four days to conclude.
The next knockout round will also take about three days. In other words, it will take a whole week or so to be able to determine the top 100 genius masters who can rank among the states of the Hidden Dragon and Phoenix List.
And the only people who can go to the Kyushu General Championship are the top 10 people. The total number of the nine major states is ninety, and then the five major heavenly sects will each send two young disciples to participate in the Kyushu General Competition.
It's just that the young disciples sent by the Five Great Heavenly Sects are not limited to thirty years old, but to twenty-five years old. As long as you reach the age of 25, you are not allowed to participate.
The five-year age gap was undoubtedly huge for a cultivator, and if all the conditions were equal, five years would be enough time to create a huge gap in the Great Realm!
However, even if the Five Great Heavenly Sects only sent young disciples under the age of twenty-five to participate in the Kyushu General Tournament of the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix List, the top ten of the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix List in every previous competition were basically rounded by the disciples of the Five Great Heavenly Sects, and the others could only compete for the ranking after the eleventh place, and there were few exceptions.
After all, the Five Great Heavenly Sects are attached to the Sanqing Palace, and they are also the sects second only to the Sanqing Palace. According to what Mu Zhuoqun, the head of the Flying Frost Sect, said to Chen Kai, when the Sanqing Palace unscrupulously and violently searched the classics, exercises, resources, magic weapons, etc. of various sects and factions on the entire Great 6, the five heavenly sects that followed closely behind the Sanqing Palace as dogs and eagles did not lose benefits.
Therefore, although the foundation of the Five Great Heavenly Sects and various cultivation resources are far inferior to the Sanqing Palace, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a hundred times stronger than ordinary sects.
Even though the five great heavenly sects sent out young disciples under the age of twenty-five, their strength was still far behind the others by at least one grade or more.
You must know that compared to them, there are ninety geniuses in the entire Big 6 Kyushu who stand out from at least more than 100,000 young masters under the age of thirty!
From this, it can also be seen why the Sanqing Palace can rule the entire Kunlun Wonderland so firmly. This is just the five great heavenly sects attached to the Sanqing Palace, if it is really the Sanqing Palace, is it still used?
I'm afraid that all the other sects and cultivators in the entire Great 6 together may not be able to fight against the combined forces of the five great heavenly sects, let alone the Sanqing Palace.
It stands to reason that this Hidden Dragon and Phoenix List Contest is a channel for the Five Great Heavenly Sects to replenish fresh blood and recruit disciples, and there is no need for those disciples who are already the Five Great Heavenly Sects to participate again.
However, although the five great heavenly sects are all attached to the Sanqing Palace, they are not monolithic with each other. The competition with each other is also very fierce. It's just that there is Sanqing Palace on it, and no matter how much they compete, they don't dare to leave the cabinet.
And the competition of this hidden dragon and phoenix list has become a platform for the five major heavenly sects to compete openly and secretly with each other. No matter which Heavenly Sect's disciples occupy the first place on the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix List, or the two disciples sent out are generally ranked high, then those Heavenly Sects who are ranked lower will naturally have more confidence, and they can speak louder when they meet each other.
Especially between those Heavenly Sects who are a little dirty with each other, if this competition can overpower each other, it will naturally be arrogant and happy, and they will even humiliate each other in person.
And Tianzong, who was suppressed in this competition, naturally wanted to win back in the next competition, so as to vent his anger.
It is precisely because of such a complex relationship that almost every competition of the Hidden Dragon and Phoenix List, the five major heavenly sects almost all send the strongest young disciples in their own sects to the field. The purpose is to overpower the other four sects and dominate them alone!
Of course, in addition to the pursuit of 'fame', whether the Five Great Heavenly Sects have privately used the ranking of this Hidden Dragon and Phoenix List to make some bets or some benefit distribution, etc., is not something that outsiders can know.
For these situations, Chen Kai basically asked from Liu Xiaosan's mouth. Because he learned that the disciples of the Five Heavenly Sects who were auctioned to participate in the Kyushu General Competition of the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix List were basically the most outstanding disciples of the younger generation in their respective sects, Chen Kai was a little looking forward to the general competition.
He also wanted to see how strong the most talented disciples in the Five Great Heavenly Sects could be.
It's a pity that the disciples of the Sanqing Palace don't participate, otherwise, Chen Kai would be very interested in having a good fight with the most talented young disciples in the Sanqing Palace.
Now that the true element in Chen Kai's body has been transformed into more than seventy percent, it won't take a few months to step into the late stage of the metamorphosis period. Although the overall strength of the cultivators in this Kunlun Immortal Realm was far superior to that of the outside world, apart from the Three Qing Palaces and the Five Great Heavenly Sects, Chen Kai really didn't look down on other so-called young geniuses.
Think about it for thousands of years, hundreds of Hidden Dragon and Phoenix List competitions, and the top ten rankings have basically been rounded by the people of the Five Great Heavenly Sects, and it can be seen that there are few exceptions.
The people of other ordinary sects could not be compared to the disciples of the Sanqing Palace and the Five Great Heavenly Sects at all. The gap is huge enough to be described as a chasm. (To be continued!)
