Chapter 841: Good luck
Because of the sharp increase in the number of participants, more than 2 million participants still entered the secondary elimination round at the end of the preliminary elimination round, according to the rules established by the organizers of the battle. As a result, in order to select the eight participants who will participate in the championship final, the secondary elimination round can only be divided into three stages. Each stage has only a 1 in 28 promotion rate, i.e. each stage is divided into seven rounds.
Unlike the Preliminary Elimination, the participants of the Secondary Elimination will be grouped by drawing.
In order to show fairness, the draw ceremony was held on the first star.
More than 2 million participants were drawn at the same time, which was a huge exercise. On this day, in addition to the participants, there are also family members behind them, all of whom came to the first star.
The draw was presided over by a family meeting headed by Beka.
According to Ali, the family council is the supreme ruling structure of the family, the patriarch is also the chairman of the council, and the other members of the council are highly respected members of the family. They may not have great strength or resources, but they have one thing in common, that is, they have a lifespan comparable to that of the patriarch, and they are the first members of the family and the participants in the creation of this large family.
For Ali, family meetings are a symbol of fairness.
Of course, the majority of members hold this view.
Even in the four-dimensional universe, the family council is the main arbiter of internal disputes. Although the patriarch has the highest decision-making power, when it comes to conflicts within the family, the patriarch generally delegates this power to the family council, which makes the arbitration.
In a sense, this is also necessary to maintain the stability of the family.
The reason is simple, in this huge family, there is not only the Beka lineage, there are also many clans that are related to Beka, but not so close. Although these clans are different from those of the side branches, it does not mean that they can live in harmony.
In any case, such a large family must have internal contradictions.
If the internal contradictions cannot be properly handled and resolved, then it will not be long before this huge family will collapse in the internal strife.
The draw was held at the same time, and Chu Tianjiang drew the 1,467th place.
This means that he will play in the twelfth round of the semi-final knockout round, and his first opponent will be the participant who has been drawn 1,468.
Unlike the preliminary knockout round, the information of the participants this time has already been made public.
Chu Tianjiang's first opponent came from a smart civilization known as "Jiedi", and the creator of this smart civilization was a family member who was similar to Ali.
This made Chu Tianjiang feel a little surprised, and Clara was also quite surprised.
After the draw is over, the re-selection and knockout rounds officially begin.
Because there were only ten battle arenas in total, only ten rounds of participants could be allowed to fight at the same time, and the twelfth round where Chu Tianjiang was located was arranged in the second batch.
In order for the selection to be carried out with the highest efficiency, Chu Tianjiang and the others had to wait outside the battle field.
Ali still had to complete some necessary formalities, and he did not accompany Chu Tianjiang.
"Don't you think it's weird?"
"What?"
"Your opponent."
Chu Tianjiang glanced at Clara and asked her to continue.
"Not only is your first opponent not very strong, but at least in the first five rounds, your opponent is average, and the opponents you may face in the next two rounds may not be strong enough." Clara paused slightly. "As long as you play to the level of the primary knockout round, it won't be difficult to pass the first round."
"I'm lucky."
"You believe in luck?"
Chu Tianjiang smiled reluctantly, he did believe in luck, but he didn't believe in luck that was manipulated.
"Ali's refusal of the patriarch's request is not a good thing for you."
"I know it."
"I don't think you know what to do."
Chu Tianjiang smiled and shook his head, knowing that Clara was just talking angry, not accusing him.
"If you can't use it, there's no reason for Becca to let you go too far in the re-elimination, and instead you should be eliminated in the first round. That way, he'll make the rest of the clan think that you've just been a lucky winner in the Primary. Of course, there are some drawbacks, but there's no reason to make it past the first round and win a few rounds at most. ”
"Perhaps, he wanted me to be a negative textbook."
"Negative textbooks?"
"The higher you climb, the worse you fall."
"Although it is possible, I think it is better for you to be careful."
Chu Tianjiang nodded, indicating that he understood what Clara meant.
"I know that you are always optimistic, and optimism gives you a lot of courage and motivation, but being too optimistic will only have the opposite effect."
"I understand what you're saying."
"Understanding is understanding, but rarely taking it to heart."
Chu Tianjiang smiled faintly and said, "Clara, I will never ignore your advice, let alone warn, but I don't want to affect my mood because of this." ”
"Mood?" Clara was very surprised, and looked at Chu Tianjiang in disbelief.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"But ......"
"I finally reunited with you, and a new life has not yet begun, how can I be willing to leave you?" Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "In order to reunite with you, I have waited for 10,000 years, and I have fought for so long, do you think I will give up easily?" ”
"I know, but I'm still worried."
"Clara, it's not you."
"What?"
"The expression you have on your face now should be on Nichol's face."
"Do you think I don't care enough about you?"
"Of course not, but you've always been stronger than Nichol, right?"
Clara was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and nodded.
Chu Tianjiang smiled, hugged Clara, and didn't say anything more.
Although Clara has never been as good as Nicol in terms of ability, Clara is stronger in her heart and can face dangers and challenges more bravely.
Otherwise, Clara wouldn't have held out for thousands of years.
Because the time on the battlefield was greatly compressed, the first round ended quickly. Coming out of the battlefield, there were only ten participants. According to the rules set by the battle organizers, after the family selection is over, those participants who lost the battle can return to the big universe. Until then, even if they were alive, they were confined to a specially created subspace by the organizers of the battle.
Again, for the sake of fairness.
The reason is very simple, even if the participants fail, they will understand the opponent through the battle, and it is even possible to know the weakness of the opponent. If they are allowed to return to the universe before the selection is over, it is possible to tell others about the weaknesses of their opponents, which can lead to injustice.
Of course, there are very few losers alive.
Not to mention anything else, all the seven participants who lost to Chu Tianjiang in the primary elimination round died, and none of them were spared.
After saying goodbye to Clara, Chu Tianjiang entered the battlefield.
Because Ali only needed Clara's company, Nichole stayed on the first star and did not come outside the battlefield.
One hundred and twenty-eight participants entered the arena at the same time, and were automatically sent to a randomly selected battlefield by a program set by the battle organizers.
In this vast subspace, there are hundreds of battlefields, capable of fighting hundreds of battles at the same time.
Chu Tianjiang's first battlefield was on a satellite that was not too big.
In fact, satellites are just an embellishment, and this battlefield is characterized by low gravity.
In order to manifest themselves in the low-gravity environment, some of the participants' superpowers are imprisoned and limited, i.e., the participants cannot energize themselves, and all have a certain quality. In addition, the participants lost the ability to fly and could only gain a certain gliding ability by jumping. It's just that the atmosphere of the satellite is extremely thin, so the gliding ability is not of much use, and the jumping ability is more reflected in the use of gravity.
This is also a major feature of the secondary elimination round.
In the primary elimination round, there are no restrictions on the superpowers of the participants, and the battlefield environment is also very ordinary, allowing the participants to play to their heart's content. The secondary elimination round limits the superpowers of the participants, and according to the restrictions, a special battlefield is set up.
In addition to giving the most well-rounded and balanced participants the opportunity to go further, this will also reduce the cost of selection.
After entering the battlefield, Chu Tianjiang was even more surprised.
The reason is that the environment is clearly in his favor.
Chu Tianjiang's opponent came from an intelligent civilization called "Jiedi", and this civilization was very unique, that is, it had the ability to fly in the natural evolution stage. To put it simply, it's a bit like an intelligent creature evolved from birds on Earth. He has a pair of large wings, but has no feathers, and instead acquires the ability to fly like gliding through a skin tissue that resembles a stratum corneum. Although he has a pair of upper limbs in addition to wings, they are very underdeveloped and look more like an appendix similar to a human, i.e., an organ that has not completely degenerated. Like birds on Earth, he has lower limbs, and is strong, and has evolved elongated toes. In the natural evolutionary stage, the toe was its main labor organ, similar to the human hand. It is only after entering the stage of self-evolution that this intelligent life has undergone great changes, and it seems that there is no longer a need for labor organs such as hands. As a result, his toes became weapons.
Obviously, he is not suitable for such a combat environment.
In this low-gravity environment with a thin atmosphere, the abilities he has acquired through natural evolution are basically ineffective.
In contrast, the human body form is even more advantageous.
At least, Chu Tianjiang didn't have that pair of wings that had become a burden.
Surprise to surprise, Chu Tianjiang didn't want to miss the opportunity to win.
