Of course, to be able to become the champion in the challenge, the strength must be very strong. The more you go to the back, only the really strong can become the champion. Those who are weak have no chance at all.

For example, the number one in the first group was chosen by lottery to become the first champion. Then, if his strength is not strong enough, he will be eliminated in the first challenge, then the person who succeeds him as the champion is the number one cultivator in the second group, and his strength will definitely be stronger than him.

By analogy, if the number one in the third group can defeat the number one in the second group, then the strength of the number one in the third group is stronger than the strength of the number one in the second group. The more you go to the back, the stronger the remaining champions will be.

Star Dou Palace's elimination method, although it is said to be a certain unfairness, is not a big problem on the whole. Survival of the fittest, without a certain strength, will inevitably be eliminated.

"Now, the lottery begins!" Li Tianxun, the assessment elder who was hanging in the air, his black robe fluttered slightly, and his arm suddenly waved in the air.

At this time, from the main entrance of the martial arts arena, two uniformed cultivators slowly approached. The two men were carrying a huge black box in their hands. When the cultivators saw the two cultivators approaching, they all moved out of the way and let the two of them walk in from their side.

The two cultivators carried the box to the ring in the center of the martial arts arena, put down the huge box, and saluted the elders in the air, and then automatically retreated.

"Up!"

Zhanyun's chief examiner, his breath sank slightly, and he drank a sound in his mouth. Then, wisps of spiritual power instantly lingered around the black giant box. Then, there were black streamers, flying out of the giant box, which were pieces of black tokens. These tokens are engraved with handwriting.

After the black token flies out, it spins quickly. A thousand tokens, in the air, formed a black vortex. Streams of spiritual power spread to the surroundings.

"Everyone, take one token! Note that each person can only take one token. Those who violate the rules will be eliminated directly!" Zhan Yun's eyes lit up, and he said loudly to the cultivators below.

Xia Yan's gaze condensed, staring at the fast-spinning token. The other cultivators also opened their eyes wide, of course they wanted to see the numbers on the token clearly, and then pick the more advantageous group.

However, the speed of the token rotation is very fast, and ordinary people can only see an afterimage, and they can't see the numbers on the token at all. Even if you can see the numbers vaguely, in the blink of an eye, the token will fly over, and it will be difficult to get the numbers when you see them. Many cultivators could only wave a piece of spiritual power in their hands in disappointment and take away a token.

"That token is the first group of fifty-eight, it's not very good!" Xia Yan's eyes flashed, he saw the number on a token, shook his head and whispered.

"Oh, this is the token of the fifth group!"

"Still no, this piece turned out to be the second group!"

Xia Yan, although he can see the numbers on the token, he needs to gather his eyes. Therefore, he can only watch piece by piece, and he can't find the best group at once.

In just a few breaths, a thousand tokens, it is less than half.

Those cultivators who couldn't see the number of tokens at all could only rely on their luck to draw a piece of it at will. Some people are lucky enough to draw the latter group. Some people are unlucky, and if they draw one or two groups, they can only shake their heads and sigh in disappointment.

One cultivator after another, constantly taking away the spinning black tokens.

Those who haven't started to take tokens yet are cultivators with higher strength, and they want to find cultivators who are satisfied with their group tokens.

"It's really bad luck, I've seen more than a dozen tokens in a row, but it's not good!" Xia Yan frowned slightly, his luck was too bad. If you're lucky, you might be able to find the 10th set of tokens for the first time you watch.

"That's right, get a nine-group token!" Zhou Tianxing, who ranked first on the assessment list, smiled slightly, and a black light shot into his hand.

"Oh, mine is the Ten Group!" the Mingfeng cultivator said with a chuckle as he took the black token.

"Group six, number fifty-eight!"

"Damn, mine is a group of ninety-nine!"

One cultivator after another got the token, knowing their group and number. There are fewer and fewer tokens in the center of the ring.

"Forget it, just take a piece, it's a big deal to fight nine times in a row!" Xia Yan shook his head, no longer staring at it, and pulled it casually, and took a token in his hand.

Zhang Qingquan stood beside Xia Yan, her beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, but she never took the token, she was waiting for Xia Yan. Seeing Xia Yan make a move, he also made a move and took away a black token.

"Huh, mine turned out to be ten groups of fifty-five!" Xia Yan took the token and smiled.

I watched more than a dozen tokens in a row just now, but I didn't find anything satisfactory. Now I took it casually, and I actually got the fifty-fifth number of the tenth group. The tenth group only needs to compete for one game. win, you enter the top 100. If you lose, you will be eliminated.

"Xia Yan, how many groups are you?" Zhang Qingquan took the token, his pretty face darkened, and he looked at Xia Yan bitterly and asked.

"I'm from the tenth group!" Xia Yan said.

"I ...... I am the ...... of the first group" Zhang Qingquan's delicate body trembled slightly, "I was so lucky that I took the token of the first group." ”

Hearing this, Xia Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. This Qingquan, luck is really not good.

"Let's change the token!" Xia Yan shook his head and said to Zhang Qingquan.

"Change?" Zhang Qingquan's eyes opened.

"Well, you take my piece, I'll take yours. Xia Yan handed the black token in his hand to Zhang Qingquan.

"But ......" Zhang Qingquan was a little embarrassed, she did want the token of the tenth group, but this was obviously detrimental to others.

"It's okay, I'm just going to play a few more games anyway. For me, it doesn't make a difference. Xia Yan shook his head slightly and said to Zhang Qingquan with relief.

"Thank you, Xia Yan!" Zhang Qingquan happily took Xia Yan's token and handed his token to Xia Yan.

At this time, all the cultivators had already taken the token. And the two cultivators who were carrying the giant box just now walked to the center of the ring again and carried the black giant box down the ring.

"Hmm!" Zhan Yun's deep voice sounded, "Now the thousand cultivators who participated in the rookie strength assessment have all obtained their numbers. Then, ask the 100 cultivators in the first group to go to the ring first, and stand in their positions according to their own numbers, each row, each column, arranged from left to right, and each row is ten people horizontally and vertically. You will be the first champions. Whether you can succeed or not depends on your own strength!"

Zhan Yun said, his eyes rolling.

After his words fell, in the crowd, one after another, people rushed into the ring. Originally, there were only nine of them, but each of them was incomparably huge. Each ring has a size of 100,000 square meters.

This ring must also be built very huge. Because, when a cultivator is in a fierce battle, his strength is agitated, and his range of influence is at least thousands of meters. If the ring is built too small, then the cultivators around the arena are likely to be affected. It makes sense to build bigger.

The hundred people of the first group came to the stage, and Xia Yan was among them. Xia Yan found a place to stand at random. One hundred people are spread out in nine rings, and each space is very large, about 10,000 square meters.

"倏~"

A slight sound immediately appeared, and in the ring, clusters of flashing spiritual power appeared, forming isolated energy shields. One hundred people, each of them, were born in one of the energy shields. The energy shield divides all the rings into a hundred battlefields. The two of them fought fiercely in it, and it didn't affect the others.

"Now, invite the second group of 100 people to the ring. According to your group and number, choose your corresponding opponent. Zhan Yun spoke again and said in a deep voice to everyone.

"I ......"

A cultivator in the second group pursed his mouth. Because, after looking at it for a while, he found that the champion corresponding to his number was Xia Yan, who ranked second on the assessment list.

In the first group of people, there is only one Xia Yan who ranks in the top ten of the assessment list. Therefore, almost all the cultivators in the two groups did not want to run into Xia Yan. However, no matter how much you don't want to, there is someone who wants to meet Xia Yan in the end.

When he met Xia Yan's cultivators, he could only consider himself unlucky.

Pulling a face, the cultivator looked left and right, and the others had all found the champion they challenged, so they had no choice but to flash into the ring and enter the energy shield where Xia Yan was.

"It's a second-level Spirit Emperor!" Xia Yan smiled slightly, he naturally saw the other party's expression, this cultivator must have felt that he was unlucky in his heart. not only drew a second group of lots, but also encountered a pervert like Xia Yan.

"Ring match, begin! Be careful, don't deliberately hurt people, don't hunt down cultivators who take the initiative to admit defeat! Those who violate the rules will be severely punished!" Zhan Yun waved his arm and shouted in a deep voice. The strength assessment of newcomers has officially begun.

"That Xia Yan is actually in the first group!Could he be doing it on purpose?" Yu Wei was below, staring at Xia Yan with his eyes, and said secretly in his heart. He knew very well that with Xia Yan's strength, when drawing lots, he could definitely see the numbers on those rotating tokens, and it stands to reason that it would be impossible to draw the tokens of the first group.

And now, this Xia Yan is in the first group.

"Haha, it's finally ......"

The people from the Star Dou Hall who were watching the battle in the air all looked down happily, and the red-haired cultivator said with a smile.

"Pay attention to Xia Yan, who is second on the assessment list, he is the peak strength of the sixth-level Spirit Emperor realm. I heard that his strength is very strong, and a few months ago, he defeated Ming Feng, who was also in the sixth-level Spirit Emperor realm. That Ming Feng will also have a magical power, called the Great Collapse Technique. Another cultivator pointed at Xia Yan and said. Before he finished speaking, many cultivators watching the battle from the air all looked at Xia Yan, who was dressed in white!
