When Chu Tianjiang and the others returned to the first star, the first stage of the re-selection and elimination round was nearing the end.

Because the lottery is sorted before the first stage, there will be no further draw before the second stage, but in the order of the winners.

As in the first stage, this time there will be one-on-one battles in groups of one hundred and twenty-eight participants.

In each round, only one winner participates in the third stage.

Of course, before the battle began, Chu Tianjiang knew about the opponents he might encounter. As he predicted, none of these opponents were simple.

Almost all of those who were able to win in the first stage had a second-level composite core.

In a sense, Chu Tianjiang is an exception.

When he won from the first stage, Chu Tianjiang only had an ordinary star core, and even if he had defeated two opponents with second-level composite star cores before, he had not been able to improve his strength. Among the more than 10,000 warriors who have entered the second stage, it can be said that there are very few people like him who only possess ordinary star cores. At least in the first round that Chu Tianjiang was in, he was the only exception.

Of course, this is only the case when winning from the first stage.

At this time, Chu Tianjiang not only possessed a composite star core, but also a fourth-level composite star core, and in his round, the most powerful opponent only had a third-level composite star core.

It's just that Chu Tianjiang is not so high-profile.

After returning to Shouxing, Chu Tianjiang first went to the courtyard of the human civilization station, and entered the subspace specially made for him by Ali.

When he came out of subspace, Chu Tianjiang's body was transformed into an ordinary star core.

In addition, Chu Tianjiang also used the second-level composite star core and the third-level compound star core to create a body each.

He did this not only to keep a low profile, but also to avoid getting into trouble.

The reason is very simple, at the end of the first stage, Chu Tianjiang only has a body made of ordinary star cores, so when participating in the battle of the second stage, if he has a body made of composite star cores, it will definitely cause suspicion, especially Becca's suspicions.

If you get a body made of compound cores in battle, that's reasonable.

After all, true warriors have a strong ability to comprehend, and it is possible to discover the secrets of the star core in the fierce battle, especially driven by the desire to win and survive, and it is also possible to inadvertently master the skill of making a composite core, and then use the star core obtained from the opponent to create a composite core. In this way, those guys who watched the battle thought that Chu Tianjiang had an amazing comprehension ability at most.

Of course, doing so can also play a role in confusing opponents.

Obviously, a composite star core warrior with powerful abilities would never take an opponent who only has an ordinary star core body in his eyes.

Prior to this, the performance of Ba and Ryujin illustrates this.

Ready, Chu Tianjiang followed Ali to the battlefield. As before, Clara went to observe the battle as Ali's retinue.

This time, Chu Tianjiang will participate in the first round of the battle.

If he wins from the second stage, then in the third stage of the fight, he will be in first place.

Of course, in the re-elimination, qualifying doesn't mean anything. It is only when it comes to the final championship that the ranking of the participants has a certain value.

After entering the battlefield, Chu Tianjiang was directly sent to the battle area.

The first opponent is called "Light and Shadow", and he comes from an intelligent civilization known as "Aruba", and has a body composed of second-level compound star cores, while his master is even more powerful, with a body composed of fourth-level compound star cores, so his status in the family is definitely not low.

Guang Ying was different from the opponents Chu Tianjiang had encountered before, and it was very likely that he came from the Ocean Wisdom Civilization.

The point is, his body resembles a jellyfish. To be precise, the density of the star cores that make up his body is much lower than that of the other warriors.

According to Chu Tianjiang's guess, in the natural evolution stage, this intelligent civilization must exist in the ocean, and the water content in the body is very high. Even after evolving intelligence, its body structure has not changed much, and even during the stage of self-evolution, it has not changed significantly. As a result, the star core that made up his body was very loose, which was very different from Chu Tianjiang.

Of course, this does not mean that he is poor.

The reason is simple, among the factors that determine the combat effectiveness of a warrior, it is not the density of the star core that really plays a role, but the level of the star core.

In addition, what this light and shadow possess is likely to be collective intelligence.

To put it bluntly, the intelligent civilization where the light and shadow are located, in the process of evolution, did not produce developed individuals, but relied on the collective to obtain wisdom. In this civilization, the meaning of the individual is not obvious, and it is only when the number of individuals increases and reaches a certain level that collective wisdom can be generated. More importantly, the degree of development of collective intelligence is not very direct in relation to individual individuals, but is determined by the number of individuals.

The point is that light and shadow do not produce the core organ of individual consciousness, that is, the brain!

Chu Tianjiang saw very clearly, light and shadow have a very developed nervous system, but there is no core brain, and wisdom is generated through the nerves distributed in the body. In other words, the wisdom of light and shadow is based on its huge neural network, and the brain is this huge neural network.

From this, a problem arises.

Light and shadow do not have a dead hole, and it is impossible to kill them by controlling the consciousness generated by the brain as they do against other opponents.

What's more, the light and shadow are enormous.

If it is based on the size of the body, the light and shadow are hundreds of times that of the bar, and it is definitely a behemoth. Although the density of the secondary compound star cores that make up his body is not large, due to its huge size, it has not many compound star cores, at least not less than Chu Tianjiang.

It is precisely because of this that Chu Tianjiang even feels that light and shadow are not a single intelligent individual, but a race.

Clearly, the members of the family who created Aruba were interested in collective intelligence. In the intelligent civilization of light and shadow, the role and influence of the individual are reduced to a minimum, and the status of the collective is elevated to the highest place, which is easier to be controlled and used by the intelligent individuals of the great civilization. More importantly, the level of this intelligent civilization is determined by the number of individuals, so it only needs to reproduce enough individuals to become a high-level civilization. In a sense, this is more in line with the needs of intelligent individuals of the great civilization for the carrier of wisdom.

In other words, this is a smart civilization that has emerged with direct intervention.

Thinking about this, Chu Tianjiang realized that it was very likely that the family member would come to the micro-universe first, and as a god, guide the intelligent civilization in the micro-universe to embark on the path of evolution, and he would understand the rules of the three-dimensional cosmic space better, at least much more than Ali Zhidao.

This also proves that the status of that guy in the family is not low.

Obviously, he involved Light and Shadow in the battle, perhaps not to gain more benefits by winning, but an arrangement that Becca had made a long time ago.

Zhang Xiaogang also mentioned this situation.

To put it simply, Becca has been secretly manipulating the battle selection within the family, so he will definitely arrange for some henchmen to participate in the battle, and these convincing replacements will control the selection process, so that spoilers like Chu Tianjiang will be out of the game before they can have an impact. It's just that Becca didn't expect Chu Tianjiang's existence, and he didn't expect Chu Tianjiang to go so far in the selection, so he didn't count him in. It's just that after Chu Tianjiang passed the primary elimination round and the first stage of the second selection and elimination round, Becca must have counted him into it, and he was very willing to let Chu Tianjiang taste defeat in the second stage of the second stage of the second selection and elimination round.

The appearance of light and shadow is equivalent to proving Zhang Xiaogang's analysis and judgment.

In other words, light and shadow are likely to be the "terminator" arranged by Becca.

Thinking that Ali had rejected the olive branch offered by Becca, Chu Tianjiang had enough reason to believe that Light and Shadow was most likely the warrior sent by Becca to deal with him.

After the battle began, Chu Tianjiang became very cautious.

Although logically speaking, Light and Shadow has enough capital to pass the first stage of the primary elimination round and the second elimination round, but there is something unreasonable about him fighting the first leg of the second stage in the current way. That is, before him, Chu Tianjiang had already defeated two warriors with second-level composite star cores, and in the battle to defeat the dragon god, Chu Tianjiang defeated the dragon god in the battle of consciousness. This shows that Chu Tianjiang has at least a certain understanding of the composite star core, and knows how to control and destroy the compound star core. Light and Shadow only have a secondary composite core, and the density is very low, and there is also a consciousness scattered in the nervous system. In other words, his current state was simply unable to deal with similar attacks, and it was impossible for him to defeat Chu Tianjiang in the battle of consciousness.

If for no other reason, there is no reason for Light and Shadow to go into battle the way it is.

In other words, the current appearance of light and shadow is more to confuse Chu Tianjiang and make Chu Tianjiang make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, so as to lose this battle.

If Zhang Xiaogang had not been resurrected and had not had a more thorough understanding of the situation, Chu Tianjiang would have been fooled.

The confrontation lasted for a while, and Light and Shadow did not rush to make a move, which made Chu Tianjiang believe that this opponent was not as weak as it seemed.

Of course, confrontation is not a bad thing.

Chu Tianjiang wanted to win, because only by winning could he buy enough time for human civilization. Obviously, the confrontation will make this battle more time-consuming.

If he could, Chu Tianjiang even hoped that the confrontation situation would be maintained forever.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry to win, and his purpose is to get more time on the battlefield.

Obviously, it is impossible for Light and Shadow to confront Chu Tianjiang all the time, his purpose is to defeat Chu Tianjiang, and he has to let Chu Tianjiang be defeated as soon as possible.
