Chapter 80: The Frog at the Bottom of the Well
The next day, the first round of the retest finally began.
Now we have entered the knockout format, which means that if you lose, you will lose the opportunity to continue playing.
In such a format, there will definitely be some people who are obviously very strong, but because of bad luck, they draw stronger opponents and unfortunately eliminate them.
But that's unlikely to happen at least in the first round of elimination.
Because the first round of eliminations is in principle to take care of those who are stronger, and it is the first place in the group to deal with the second place in the other group, it cannot be said that there will not be such a situation, but at least it can make that situation rare.
This first day of the knockout tournament, because of the large number of people, was also held in eight rings.
There are sixteen players in each group, which means that there are eight matches in a single ring in one day.
In the group stage, there were more than 20 matches a day in a ring, and now it has become eight, and in terms of time, it is much more sufficient, and it can basically be completed in one morning.
The competition starts in the morning.
Qian Hao and Zhao Yu both wanted to know the result of the game, because this time there were two players from Jin Ge City entering the semi-finals, which was an unprecedented thing for Jin Ge City, whether these two people could be selected by the five major factions had a great impact on Jin Ge City's power map, so they had to wait for the results to come out.
The envoys of the five major sects were not in the ring, they shuttled through the rings, and when they found a game that attracted their attention, they went over to watch it.
If you behave mediocrely, you will bypass it directly.
There are other referees on the stage, and after entering the semifinals, the referees on the stage are all masters of the innate realm.
This is someone sent by the Yi Dynasty.
This kind of game is very important, and it takes a congenital master to be able to suppress the scene.
Fang Hao was the third to play.
Sun Ying's match was later than him, and she didn't play until the sixth game, so she also watched under the ring of Fang Hao's match at first.
Although the time of each ring match is different, but the number of matches is so large, she doesn't need to worry about delaying her match.
And the name is pronounced before the game starts, and she can hear it in this area.
When Fang Hao came on the field, Qian Hao and Zhao Yu were also under the ring, but they were already eliminated players, and they were a little away from the ring.
Before Fang Hao came to power, Qian Hao was saying to Zhao Yu:
"This guy bragged before he came here, to win the first place in this national rookie competition, I thought he would be very good, but he only won the second place in the group stage, and he was almost eliminated, I really don't know who gave him confidence!"
Zhao Yu liked to listen to his words very much, and said with a sneer: "Some people are frogs at the bottom of the well, they have never seen the world, and after winning one or two games, they think that they are invincible in the world, and now it is time for him to recognize himself." ”
Ouyang Lei played first, and after Qian Hao saw him, he was taken aback:
"It turned out to be the master of the Eightfold Realm the day after tomorrow! Fang Hao's luck is really enough, he met the most powerful one in this group in the first round of the rematch, and it was completely out of play. ”
After Zhao Yu saw that it was Ouyang Lei from the Eightfold Realm the day after tomorrow, he was in a happier mood, and said to Qian Hao with a smile:
"Do you guess he will admit defeat directly when he meets a high-level opponent in the group stage, or will he choose to play two moves?"
"If it were me, I would have chosen to throw in the towel. Qian Hao said, "The Sixfold Realm of the Day After Tomorrow is against the Eightfold Realm of the Day After Tomorrow, and if you don't admit defeat in this case, isn't that looking for death?"
While the two of them were discussing, they saw Fang Hao enter the ring from the other side.
Qian Hao took a closer look, and his eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen a ghost: "This ...... How did this guy reach the Sevenfold Realm of the Day After Tomorrow? When I saw him go back yesterday, he was only in the Sixfold Realm of the Day After Tomorrow, so how could he reach the Sevenfold Realm of the Day After Tomorrow overnight?"
Zhao Yu also found out about this matter, and was secretly shocked in his heart, but his face showed disdain, snorted, and said:
"Maybe he took some kind of pill after he went back yesterday, but so what? Now he is not facing an ordinary opponent, he is a master of the Eightfold Realm of the Day After Tomorrow, and the level of cultivation is also very high, if he wants to turn over, it is impossible. ”
Although he said this, he thought of Zhao Hao, who was of the same clan as him, who was crushed by Fang Hao, who was one realm lower, during the rookie competition in Jin Ge City.
Although he didn't watch that game because he was too seriously injured at the time, he heard many people say that the picture of that game afterwards was that Zhao Hao was pressed and beaten by Fang Hao, who was a little lower realm, and kept slapping him until he passed out before stopping.
Let's hope that doesn't happen.
Thinking about the situation of Fang Hao in the group stage that he inquired about, he also felt that there would be no such situation.
When encountering the players of the Acquired Sevenfold Realm, they all chose to take the initiative to admit defeat, how could they beat the opponents of the Acquired Eightfold Realm?
It's just that seeing Fang Hao's confident face, he was a little apprehensive again.
On the other side of the ring, Qu Mingjie was also watching this match, and when he saw that Fang Hao had become a martial artist of the Acquired Seven Realms, his face suddenly became gloomy.
The Acquired Seven Realms, even if this knockout match fails, it is still possible to enter the eyes of the five major sects.
After all, among these people who participated in the competition, there were less than fifty people in the Acquired Sevenfold Realm plus the Acquired Eightfold Realm, and his chances of being selected were not low.
He didn't want to see that happen.
Ouyang Lei put his hands behind his back, looked at Fang Hao who walked on the stage with a proud face, and said: "You are very good, you have entered the Sevenfold Realm of the Day After Tomorrow, you should have gone further, but unfortunately, your opponent today is me, and your progress will stop here, I am very sorry for this." ”
This is already a knockout round, Fang Hao didn't continue to keep a low profile, shook his head, and said with a smile:
"You're wrong, it's not me, it's you. As a martial artist of the Eightfold Realm the day after tomorrow, you should be able to enter the top ten, but unfortunately you met me, and you can only stop at the rematch, which is really a pity. ”
Ouyang Lei was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in surprise: "What gives you such an illusion that you can beat me in this ring?"
"On my own, of course. Fang Hao said with a smile.
Ouyang Lei said leisurely: "I originally wanted to persuade you to take the initiative to admit defeat, so as not to have no eyes and be hurt unnecessarily when you fight, but now it seems that there is no need for this." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly heard the referee shout "The competition begins", his eyes widened, he took a step forward, and rushed to Fang Hao's face, raising his hand and slapping it out.
