Chapter 73: The rematch begins
It's March, and the final round of the group stage has finally begun.
By the time it came to this last round, there were a lot more players in both the Acquired Sixfold Realm and the Acquired Sevenfold Realm than at the beginning.
The three-month competition time is a great opportunity for these teenagers to be promoted, and it is normal to advance to a small realm.
By this time, there were more than forty players who had entered the Acquired Sevenfold Realm.
However, during the group stage, he did not enter the Acquired Eightfold Realm from the Acquired Sevenfold Realm.
The further you go, the more difficult it is to advance.
In the final round of the game, Fang Hao and Sun Ying both won both games.
In the final points, Fang Hao entered the semi-finals with the second place in the group stage, while Sun Ying entered the semi-finals with the first place in the group stage.
The next fixture is the knockout format, and you have to make sure you win every game to be able to keep going.
There are 128 people who enter the semi-finals, and among these 128 people, only seven games need to be played to determine the first place in the end.
One game a day, a few days can be solved.
Entering the knockout round, the winner will be rewarded for each match played.
There are gold coins, there are also pills, and the further you go, the more generous the rewards.
On March 15th, all the group stages have been completed and the top two teams in each group have been decided, and the draw will be set for the next day's match.
Sun Ying was the first place in her group, in Group A.
And Fang Hao is the second place in his group, in Group B.
Since this competition system selects excellent disciples for the five major sects, it tends to take care of the strong.
In order to avoid the strong and the strong in the semi-final to the greatest extent, the first place in the group stage will only play against the second place in the other groups.
There is also a principle in the draw, that is, before the top 16 are decided, the players from the same city become opponents and can be drawn again.
Players from the same group become opponents, and they can also be drawn separately.
It's not like something like this can't happen.
In the previous national rookie competitions in Yi Guo, the last ones who were selected by the five major schools were basically players from several martial arts cities in Yi Guo.
Each city has a different number of places to participate in the National Rookie Competition, some even have only two, while others have eight.
This is still in order to better select talents, limiting the number of places in some martial arts cities, otherwise the people who can enter the semi-finals are basically people from those big cities.
There are eight places in the eastern capital of Yi Kingdom, and two of them are from the Eightfold Realm of the Day After Tomorrow.
The other six are all acquired sevenfold realms.
These people have all made it to the semifinals.
If the quota is released, more will be able to enter.
Because the martial arts here are prosperous, the average level is much higher than that of ordinary cities.
They have more advanced exercises and more resources, and of course they can train more and better young people.
However, what the five major sects want to select are truly gifted talents, not people with higher martial arts realms who rely on the accumulation of resources.
Therefore, there are restrictions on the number of places for those big cities to participate, and it is not all based on strength.
It is precisely for this reason that ten places per year do not necessarily mean that the top ten places are obtained.
However, as a competition, talent and understanding are not so easy to reflect in the ring, and those who can stand out are those who are stronger.
The weak, no matter how strong the talent is, they are not even qualified to enter the semi-finals, and the people of the five major sects can't see their performance, and of course there is no way to discover them.
In order to avoid drawing people in the same group or city, the 128 players were also divided into eight groups to draw lots, and such a thing was avoided when they were distributed.
And in principle, the number of strong people in each group is about the same.
These eight groups are divided into eight groups: Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain, and Ze, this time Fang Hao is in the Heaven Group, and Sun Ying is in the Fire Group.
In Fang Hao's group, there is one player from the Acquired Eightfold Realm, six Acquired Sevenfold Realm, and the other nine are all Acquired Sixfold Realm.
Those few high-level realms are all members of Group A, the first place in their respective group stages, and there is only one of the acquired sixfold realms.
Fang Hao and some other players from the Acquired Six Realms are all members of Group B.
For these members of Group B, whoever is going to draw the Acquired Eightfold Realm will be the most unlucky one, and whoever will draw the Acquired Sixfold Realm will be the luckiest one.
- It's one thing to be able to beat it, at least the one who won the Sixfold Realm of the Day After Tomorrow has a much greater chance of beating than the other ones.
And this time in the draw, Fang Hao became the most unlucky person.
His opponent was the only one of the sixteen people in this Heavenly Group, the only one who existed in the Acquired Eightfold Realm.
Those in the same group looked at him with sympathy.
Everyone can imagine how difficult it is for an acquired sixfold realm to challenge an acquired eightfold realm.
If it is an acquired sixfold realm that cultivates high-level exercises against an acquired eightfold realm that cultivates low-level exercises, it is not impossible to win, and that kind of thing has not happened.
However, the current situation is that everyone is the same age, and the people with a higher realm are cultivating more advanced exercises.
The Acquired Sixfold Realm that cultivates low-level exercises wants to defeat an Acquired Eightfold Realm that cultivates high-level exercises, and such a thing has never happened.
Fang Hao didn't care about himself, when he saw this result, he only smiled slightly.
The player of the Eightfold Realm of the Day After Tomorrow was a child of a big family in Pegasus City of Yi Kingdom, named Ouyang Lei, and he was cultivating the Xuan-level upper-level exercise Spring Thunder Palm.
Pegasus City is a big city with a prosperous martial arts, and Ouyang Lei's family has several innate masters, and there is even a master of the innate fivefold realm.
Because there are such masters who can make jade slips of exercises, their core disciples such as the family can get the true meaning inheritance of the family exercises.
Ouyang Lei is undoubtedly such a core disciple, and he has also received the true inheritance from the family exercises.
Their family is quite powerful, and basically every two or three years, someone will enter the Five Great Sects.
This, in turn, made their family stronger.
This time, the enrollment of the five major sects has expanded, and there are only a few people in the acquired eightfold realm who participated in this competition, and he has strong confidence in entering the five major sects this time.
He can't guarantee whether he will get the first place, but he feels that there is no problem at all to get into the top 10.
For this rematch, the possible opponents were all acquired Sixfold Realm martial artists, and he didn't pay attention to it.
Even after the draw, he didn't care who his opponent was, he only knew that no matter who it was, he would win.
