Chapter 24: The Bottleneck of Strength (Asking for Recommendation Votes!) )
July 9th.
Hundreds of students competed for the last spot to advance to the next round, and the first round was over at the end of the tournament.
On the morning of July 10, the official examination system announced the list of the top 3,000 students in this year's junior high school elf envoy qualifying competition.
Many of the students in the list breathed a sigh of relief, such a ranking was at least qualified, as long as the cultural performance reached the standard, their chances of being admitted to the elf battle course were still quite good.
As for the students who failed to make the list, in addition to those who fish in troubled waters and are interested, those students who really have the dream of making elves are more miserable, and the efforts of the past three years have almost been in vain, unless there is a special opportunity in the future, it will be very difficult to develop in the elf envoy aspect.
Faced with the first severe blow in their lives, many students have a sense of collapse with their dreams shattered, but unfortunately society is cruel in the first place, and this idea was broken early, and there is still time to develop in other aspects.
July 11th.
After more than 2,000 students have been eliminated, the remaining 3,000 students will continue to compete in the second round, which will also take place over 10 days, and this time the top 1,500 will be decided.
Compared to the previous round, the second round of the tournament has become significantly more intense.
Even though nearly 500 seeded players have protection rules that avoid each other, there are still seeded players from weak schools who are eliminated by students from strong schools.
But for real top students such as Li Xian and Zhang Zi, the difficulty of the second round is still not great, and Lu You is not interested in watching a game in the past.
After all, after avoiding the seeded players, the other students were no match for them at all.
Another reason is that he has been in a bit irritable lately.
Because after nearly a year of growth, Lu You finally encountered the first limit and bottleneck of his elf career, and his own energy level was stuck as soon as it exceeded 5,000.
For more than a week, the upper limit of the energy level did not grow in the slightest.
According to Xiaoyu's guess, he should have reached the limit of his energy in his childhood.
Unless he can break through the limit, he can only continue to improve for another two months, and he can continue to improve after entering the growth period and ushering in his first growth transformation.
Generally speaking, the elf's first limit breakthrough will be before being promoted to the actual combat level, and only a successful breakthrough can be successfully promoted to the actual combat level, and there are several ways to break through.
The first is evolution, and through the powerful energy amplification of the evolved form, you can easily break through the limit.
However, evolution is too important for elves, and various conditions are relatively harsh, and juvenile elves are completely out of standard, so they can be ruled out first.
The second is to use growth and transformation.
The reason why elves are divided into juvenile, growth and maturity is not only due to age and strength factors, but also related to their growth and transformation stages.
Every elf from the juvenile period into the growth period and the growth period into the maturity period, will usher in a comprehensive growth and transformation of life, not only the appearance of the elf will be greatly changed, the physique, potential and other aspects will also be greatly improved.
Some elves may not be able to break through the limit if they do not master the evolutionary form during the growth period, and only when they enter the maturity period will they have the opportunity to complete the breakthrough with the help of growth and transformation.
However, in this way, they will lag far behind those strong in terms of strength progress.
More capable elves will choose the third method, that is, kryptonite to forcibly break through, with the help of sufficient rare resources, let the elves break through their own shackles and complete the sublimation of life essence and potential, so as to expand the upper limit.
It's just that the krypton gold breakthrough costs a lot of money, and the physical requirements for the elves are also very high, plus Li Xian is preparing for the qualifying tournament with all her might, and Lu You can also enter the growth period in two months.
No matter how you think about it, Krypton gold breakthrough is not a very good way.
Therefore, Lu You had no choice but to put aside the matter of energy level bottlenecks for the time being, and continue to spend his energy on the training of combat mode and advanced moves.
Of course, he didn't give up completely, but instead took in more energy every day and saved and condensed them into the No. 2 crystal.
In his opinion, the so-called metamorphosis should be a qualitative change caused by quantitative change, so as long as his 'quantity' reaches the standard, maybe it can lead to qualitative change in advance.
Even if it can't be advanced, more 'quantity' should be able to cause a greater qualitative change, right?
July 20th.
The announcement of the list of the top 1,500 students in this year's junior high school elf qualifying competition means that the second round of the competition has officially ended.
At this point, more than two-thirds of the participating students have been eliminated.
The students who can advance to the third round of the competition can be regarded as the best students in this year, as long as the cultural performance is not too bad, they will have a great chance of being admitted to the 9 professional high schools in the city.
On July 21, the third round continued.
The top 500 players will be determined this time, and from this round onwards, the identities of all seeded players will also be removed, and each student will likely be matched with each other.
Li Xian's first opponent was the top three of a town-level middle school, although her strength was not as good as the top students in key middle schools, but her strength was much stronger than that of middle-level students.
After the matching battle information was announced, the opponent surrendered directly in the official system.
This is not that the other party wants to give up the promotion, but it is a clever skill to preserve strength, after all, the battle against the ice and snow demon fox is lost, and the head iron will not only consume his elf physical strength and expose the strength of his hole cards, but also may be injured in the battle, which is not cost-effective.
Anyway, after the first day of qualifying, he can still challenge the weaker players in the upper bracket.
In this way, he also only needs to fight one battle, and it is also an opponent he chooses himself, and he is more sure of winning, which is much easier than fighting against Li Xian.
In fact, there are not a few students who will choose this way.
Because by now, the strength of most of the students has become more obvious.
Many weaker students will take the initiative to give way when they encounter the strong, and only students in the left and right ranges of the promotion range will have a fierce battle to fight for the chance of advancement.
So in this round of competition, Li Xian was more relaxed, after all, the top three powerhouses in No. 1 Middle School are unrivaled bosses for many students.
In the three rounds of qualifying, 2 players directly abandoned the game and surrendered, and only one player dared to fight against her, but she didn't go all out in the battle, and tested the strength of the ice and snow demon fox a little, and admitted defeat if she couldn't beat it.
At the end of July, after a month of competition, the list of the top 500 in this qualifying competition was also released.
Being able to advance to the top 500 is probably the best score that ordinary students can strive for.
With this ranking, the 9 professional battle high schools in the city can sign up at will, as long as the cultural results are not too outrageous, it is a sure thing to be admitted.
