Chapter 14: Guarding
As the sun climbed, the sun became more intense, and the air floating above Tenryuji Square became hotter and hotter. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As the competition progressed, the team of eliminated players around the square gradually grew, and the number of players who advanced to the tournament also increased.
In this competition, the players who showed their edges in the sect competition last time still performed brilliantly in this selection, and some players who were unknown and unnoticed by everyone before also began to emerge in the selection.
The corners of the eyes slip down, and it's one of them.
In the morning, I don't know how many competitions were conducted, and finally all the places that advanced to the third round were selected.
At the end of the morning competition, after a short break, after lunch, the players who entered the third round began to play the fourth round: the group stage.
In the group stage, the 10,000 players who advance will be divided into ten groups of 1,000 players each based on their performance in the first two rounds.
Among these 1,000 players, the ranking order is directly generated based on the performance of the first two rounds, and if any player is not satisfied with their ranking, they can directly challenge any one of them until the final ranking is not challenged.
In each group, the final first-ranked player directly becomes one of the 100 finalists, and the second place in each group to the 100th place is played in a cross-group single-elimination process.
The second place in this group will compete with the one hundred and one in the other group, the third place will compete with the first hundred in the other group, and so on, the loser will be eliminated directly, and the winner will continue to compete according to the above rules until the remaining 90 players who have advanced are finally determined.
The group stage lasted another afternoon before it officially ended, and today's one-day selection determined the 100 players who will participate in the final tomorrow.
Watching the one-day competition, Dusk had an accurate estimate of the top strength of the players of the Tianlong Temple.
To be honest, at this stage, but after more than half a year of martial arts, the strength gap between players has not been significantly widened. Except for the current strength of the twilight, the other players, the gap is not big.
The competition lasted a whole day.,Basically, just started the competition.,Everyone has dealings.,Players can't reach the crushing in terms of strength.,There's no kind of devastation and decay to quickly win the competition.,Most of the competitions.,It's outside a hundred moves to distinguish the winner or loser.。
Learning martial arts is really not an overnight thing! Seeing this situation, Dusk sighed in his heart, I am afraid that now as long as any martial arts has stepped into a slight small success, it will be enough to enter the top hundred, or even higher.
There is no other reason, at this stage, players are basically learning basic martial arts, in their eyes, there is no need to put in the energy to refine, with this time, it is better to practice internal strength, or do some novice tasks to be wiser.
Including Dusk himself, no player will think that the martial arts they are learning now will benefit them for life, anyway, they will slowly come into contact with more advanced martial arts in the future, why put so much effort into this basic martial arts, after getting intermediate martial arts or even advanced martial arts in the future, it's not too late to work hard!
Under this concept, many players' internal strength cultivation is only one step away from building the sea realm, but for basic martial arts, after reaching the first glimpse of the door, few people are willing to work harder.
Under the premise that there is not much difference in internal strength cultivation, the victory or defeat of the selection competition depends entirely on the realm of martial arts, at this time, and the fate of the master and apprentice of the master of a lamp, maybe someone secretly regrets it, just as the players of other sects regret not worshipping in the Tianlong Temple at this moment, they are also regretting why they did not study martial arts well in the first place!
However, it is too late to say anything now.
A night without a word, a night without a dream.
On the second day of the selection, the sky was clear, the wind was smooth, the wind was beautiful, and the clouds were rolling.
The morning light sprinkled on the square outside the Tenryu Temple, flowing on the ten rings that had been built overnight.
Countless players sat in the audience in the void, chatting and laughing wantonly, and when their eyes swept over the hundreds of players in the square, they couldn't help but show a trace of envy or jealousy.
I saw ten temporary rings set up in the square, ten players who qualified first in the group stage yesterday stood tall in the ring, looking nervous or excited, and under the ring, there were ninety players who had entered the top 100 one after another, looking at the ten people on the stage unconvinced.
Li Chou casually leaned on the edge of the first ring on the left, boredly playing with the long stick in his hand, for him, this selection was not interesting at the beginning, if it wasn't for worshipping Master Yideng as a teacher, I am afraid that he who won the first place in the sect competition would have no interest in participating in this selection with no suspense at all.
The idle Li Chou didn't notice that in the ring next to him, the only female player in the ten-party ring looked at him with a somewhat complicated gaze.
In front of the main hall, the incense is burned, the Buddha is gently shaken, and the monks of the first generation and the monks of the first generation of the Tianlong Temple who are mainly the master of a lamp sit on the futon, close their eyes and chant the scriptures.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yiyin Zen Master sighed lightly and whispered to Master Yideng in a low voice, then stood up, and began to announce the rules of today's competition in the eyes of everyone.
"In today's competition, the ten people in the ring are temporarily set as the top ten in this competition!"
As soon as the sentence was finished, the expressions of the ten players in the ring were different, but the players in the arena couldn't help but talk in a low voice, maybe there were people in the ring who were better than themselves, but if they wanted to say that they must be the top ten among the hundred, everyone was a little unconvinced. However, out of trust in the Tianlong Temple, no one among the players directly questioned them.
Waving his hand to suppress the crowd that fluctuated a little, Yiyin Zen Master continued: "These top ten are only temporary, they are determined according to the performance of the previous round, this round is the defending competition, these ten people are the champion for the time being, if someone else thinks that they are stronger than one of their ten, you can go up and challenge, as long as you defeat the champion, you are the new champion!" ”
I see! With a sigh of relief, the ninety players under the ring began to gear up, and the ten people on the stage, except for one or two whose faces were a little bitter, the others were full of confidence, obviously thinking that they were fully qualified to occupy one of the rings.
"But..." Glancing over the eager crowd, Zen Master Yiyin continued, "Everyone only has three chances to challenge, and if you haven't become the champion after the three chances are exhausted, it means that you have lost your qualification to challenge." However, if you fail, you will also be given three chances to challenge, that is, as long as you become the champion, even if you are defeated, you will still have three chances after the ring, regardless of whether you have launched a challenge before or not! ”
Hearing that the Zen master will finish the rules, some players let out a sigh of relief and put their minds at ease, afraid that they would only get the identity of the champion for the third challenge, but then they were defeated by others, so it would be miserable, but fortunately, after becoming the champion, the three chances are equivalent to automatic refresh.
"Remember..." The corners of his mouth twitched, and the Zen master added a fire to the players who were already high-spirited, and said, "Only the players who stand in the ring last can be taken under the seat by Senior Brother Yideng!" ”
"Wow..." Sure enough, as soon as the Zen master's voice fell, there was an uproar on the field, including the boring sorrow of the originally idle, and the momentum on his body at this moment couldn't help but be overwhelmed, and a trace of heat flashed in his eyes...
