(There is no charge for this chapter)

Lin Chen and others arrived at the Yangcheng Gymnasium on time, and under the arrangement of the staff of the event team, they entered the backstage rest area of the competition venue.

Mo Shanghua looked excited, walking and jumping, while turning back to joke with Lin Chen and the others.

As a result, one accidentally bumped into a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses around the corner, causing the other party's sunglasses to fall to the ground.

Mo Shanghua was busy apologizing, and Lin Chen also apologized to Mo Shanghua and the other party.

The middle-aged man was not annoyed, said that he was fine, and smiled kindly at Lin Chen and the others, saying that he would look forward to their next game.

Lin Chen didn't think too much, but not long after the other party left, the sweeping army suddenly exclaimed, startling Mo Shanghua.

Sweeping Qianjun said with some excitement: "I know him! ”

"Huh?" The ghost night was puzzled: "Who do you know?" ”

Sweeping Thousand Troops explained: "It's just ...... The person that Hua Kai bumped into, I suddenly remembered who he was! ”

Sweeping through the thousands of armies successfully attracted everyone's attention, and even the wordless floating dreams all the way looked at him.

"So who the hell is he?"

Lin Chen lightly patted the head of the sweeping Qianjun, and glared at the latter: "Don't sell it!" ”

Sweeping the thousands of troops laughed and said, "Murong Xueye!" ”

Murong Xueye?

Lin Chen frowned, feeling that this name was a little familiar.

"Who is Murong Xueye?" Mo Shanghua was still puzzled.

"Oh!" The ghost night ghost slapped his palm and said, "Is it him?" The second master of the national service in the era of "Miracles", the first mage player of the national service - Murong Xueye? ”

"That's right!" Sweeping Qianjun explained: "He played warriors in the early days, and when I first played warriors, I watched his instructional videos, so I remember them more clearly. ”

Lin Chen nodded.

There is such a rumor that Murong Xueye originally played warriors and was very famous from the beginning.

It's just that later the Great Dao Invisible rose, and he lost the Great Dao Invisible in a gambling battle, and chose to change his career to become a mage professional, and finally stepped into his peak.

He has no hatred for the Great Dao, even if he does not belong to the same guild, he has always had good contacts in private.

So?

Why did Murong Xueye appear here?

Lin Chen couldn't help but have such an idea, that is, Murong Xueye wanted to make a comeback, and even had already paid it, and belonged to one of the sixteen teams participating in the advanced competition.

Sweeping Qianjun also gave birth to the same idea, which made him feel a lot of pressure, after all, Murong Xue was too famous at night, and he used to be his idol.

The shadow of the famous tree, if he really met it, Lin Chen was not sure that he would be able to defeat Murong Xueye.

However, he felt that he couldn't think too much about it now, which made the team lose momentum.

is to tell them that Murong Xueye has been retired for many years after all, and even if he comes back, it is not so easy to return to the peak directly.

Even if they can't fight one-on-one, they may still create opportunities for two-on-one.

He believes in everyone's abilities.

They rested for a while, and a staff member came to the room they were in to say that the opening ceremony was almost there.

After counting the number of people, the staff led them to the preparation area of the competition hall, where they had a direct view of the competition stage and part of the spectator seats.

There is a large screen on the stage, and some promotional videos of the "Eternity" Challenge are playing, but they can't see it clearly from this angle.

Lin Chen observed the surroundings, there were already several teams that had arrived at the preparation area, but they were not familiar with each other, so they were members of their respective teams and gathered in a small circle.

He saw that some people also brought their own gaming helmets, and he thought that in the invitation letter, there was a statement that they could bring their own equipment to participate in the competition.

Lin Chen didn't bring his own game helmet, because the official game helmet that was not bound for the competition was officially available, which was functionally stronger than his standard version of the device, and it was said that the specifications of the IF-G Glory Edition equipment that could be bought from the outside world were about the same.

Generally, those who come with game helmets bring some special Glory Edition equipment, and even King Edition equipment.

Three or four minutes later, he finally saw the people he knew—the water color smoke flowers, and they were together with the water color smoke flowers in the past.

Then he found that Huoshu Yinhua was also on the side, and also greeted each other, and then while idle, he observed the other players around him.

On the way, there were also contestants from other teams, who came to greet them, half-jokingly saying that if they met, they must be merciful.

Of course, in addition to a little friendship, the main purpose is to find out about them and other opponents.

Subsequently, Lin Chen also met Li Le of the War Maniac Guild, which made him feel slightly strange.

According to his memory, Li Le, that is, the only team, just let their team be defeated and lose the qualification to participate in the advanced competition.

The other party said that he wanted to take a step to speak, but Lin Chen refused, feeling that there was nothing to say between them.

Li Le sneered a few times, and swept away Qianjun and the others to stand up, alert to the other party's possible bad actions.

But this time, Li Le quickly turned around and left, without even saying cruel words.

Lin Chen and the others quickly left this little episode behind, after all, can Li Le still go directly to the court to participate in the game?

At this time, they didn't have the energy to think about Li Le's affairs, and they really had a lot of opponents in the advanced competition.

Just then, there was a shout outside.

They turned their heads to look outside, and it turned out that it was time to kick off the opening ceremony of the challenge.

(2,000 words omitted...... ）

(Murong Xueye didn't really make a comeback, but was invited to be a guest commentator for the Advanced Tournament, as Mingyue Xiaoxiao and Yu Yin revealed before, and one friend will return in a "special" way.) ）

The rules for this year's Advanced Tournament are very different from previous years.

First of all, the game mode has been adjusted from "2+1" to "3+1", that is, from two rounds of 1v1 heads-up and one round of 5v5 team competition to three rounds of 1v1 heads-up competition and one round of 5v5 team competition.

Then, in the top 16, the group stage points system will be adopted.

The 16 teams in the competition area will be divided into 4 groups according to the way of drawing.

There are 4 teams in each group, and the top two teams will advance to the top 8 and the bottom two teams will be eliminated according to the final group point ranking.

In terms of specific points.

Originally, the winner of the heads-up match had 2 points, the draw side had 1 point each, and the losing side had 0 points.

The highest victory score in the team competition is 6 points, requiring the winning side to be crushed by zero death, and the victory score for each person killed is reduced by 1, if both sides are wiped out, it is a 1-point draw, and the losing side is 0 points.

The maximum score is 10 points.

Now changed to 1 point for a heads-up win, no points for a draw or loss.

The winner of the team competition gets 1 point, and if the number of surviving players is greater than 2, an additional 1 point will be added, and no points will be awarded for a draw or defeat.

(As long as the time limit is up, the two sides are still present, and the judgment will be based on the draw, so the inferior side can try the 'Gou style' tactic)

That is, the maximum score is 5 points, and theoretically, as long as there are three heads-up matches, or one heads-up match and one team match, you can have an advantage in points.

Lin Chen, as the captain, went to draw lots on behalf of their team and drew a "C" symbol card, that is, their team will be assigned to the third group.

Also drawing "C" cards are the teams of "One Flower, One World", "Lady with Rejoice" and "Death Canoe".

What a coincidence.

Death Canoe, belonging to the War Maniac Guild.

Lin Chen gave himself a small goal, which was to blow up the Death Canoe and their team, although he didn't have any opinion on the person of the Death Canoe.

As for the other competition groups.

Group A has "Soul Innocence", "Fire Tree Silver Flower", "No Brake" and "Ethereal Clouds".

Group B has "Aqua Smoke", "Green Jade Case", "Silk Arborvitae" and "Natural Roll".

Group D has "Against the Sky", "Seven Layers of Saree", "Slightly Rotten Apple" and "Original Lori Sauce".

The water color smoke is good, and they directly avoided the strong teams such as Soul Innocence, No Brake, and Seven Layers of Yarn.

According to Lin Chen's feelings, it is difficult for the other teams in Group B to pose a threat to them.

He felt that the team won the first place in the group points and advanced to the quarterfinals, which was relatively stable.

On the other hand, the fire tree and silver flower their team, this luck ......

It's too bad, isn't it?

Lin Chen couldn't help but mourn for the fire tree Yinhua, Group A was simply a death group.

Huoshu Yinhua's strength is still good, but there is still a relatively big gap between them and the real masters.

Soul Innocence's team is the favorite to win the championship, Soul Innocence's own strength is above the Fire Tree Silver Flower, and in his team, there are two Miracle Heroes Players in the Mad God and Xia Rice.

In addition, the team without brakes should not be underestimated, although the average player does not know much about the organization of the Shadow Oath, but Lin Chen has fought against them, and can make some basic judgments on their strength.

When they meet a team without brakes, it is about four or six, and they only have "four", maybe lower.

According to Lin Chen's guess, Huoshu Yinhua and their team may only finish third in the group in the end, and unfortunately they will be eliminated.

The only good news is that the "ethereal" team, which is part of the Third Shura Army, will also be eliminated.

Lin Chen walked to Huoshu Yinhua's side and found that they didn't seem to notice this, discussing how to beat the other teams and strive to win the second place in the group.

He couldn't hurt their confidence, but he couldn't help but remind Huoshu Yinhua to be careful of the "No Flash" team.

As for the match in Group D, there is no doubt that the team of "Seven Yarns" can win the group.

After all, the average level of the team is the highest, and there are four hidden classes, which is scary to look at at this stage.

In the morning, it was a Group A match.

The final result was just as Lin Chen expected. It was "Soul Innocence" that won the first place in the group and the second place in the "No Brake" group.

"Soul Innocence" vs. "Soul Innocence", score 4 to 1 ("Soul Innocence" only lost 1 heads-up match, plus points in the team competition);

"Soul Innocence" vs. "Fire Tree Silverflower", score 4 to 1 ("Fire Tree Silver Flower" only won one heads-up match);

"Soul Innocence" vs. "Ruoyun Ethereal", scoring 5 to 0 (although the team of "Ruoyun Ethereal" lacks its own comprehensive strength, it is also suspected of deliberately releasing water to concede points);

"No Brake" vs. "Fire Tree Silver Flower", scoring 3 to 1 ("No Brake" lost a heads-up match, no extra points in the team competition);

"No Brake" vs. "Ethereal", scoring 4 to 1 ("No Brake" only lost 1 heads-up match);

"Misty Flowers" scored 3-2 against "Misty Clouds" ("Silverflower" won a heads-up match and a team event and received a bonus point in the team competition).

The score rankings of Group A are: "Soul Innocence" 13 points, "No Brake" 8 points, "Fire Tree Silver Flower" 5 points, and "Clouds Ethereal" 3 points.

The two teams of "Soul Innocence" and "No Brake" led the top 8 of the Advanced Challenge.

One o'clock in the afternoon was the match of Group B, which ended with "Water Smoke Blossom" and "Siro Arbor" from the Hongyan Guild, which entered the quarterfinals with 13 and 9 match points, respectively.

After that, it's Group C's turn.

Half past two in the afternoon.

"One Flower, One World":
