Chapter 179: Strange Grouping
The morning after the first round of fighting, Zong had already arrived on the island, still wearing that tall suit and his hair still meticulously combed.
Zong didn't even go to see Brand first, and came directly to find the people in the Huaxia Palace.
"Master Zong."
Chen Su nodded and greeted.
Zong smiled lightly and looked gentle, "Captain Chen Su, and everyone, I haven't seen you for a long time." As he spoke, his gaze fell on Xiang Yin's body first, "Xiang Yin, your recent strength has improved again, congratulations." β
Xiang Yin smiled and scratched his head, "Yes, my lord, the main thing is that I have harvested more spars in the battle recently, and my cultivation has been more diligent than before." β
"Well, that's good." The next moment, Zong's gaze fell on Li Zhimo, obviously slightly surprised, "Ms. Zhimo, you are also a sixth-level ability?" β
"Yes, I just made the cut the day before yesterday."
"Good." Zong was quite satisfied, except for the more conspicuous changes in these people, there seemed to be no need for more attention to the others, "Chen Su, you and I will go with you to meet Master Brand, and the others are free to move." β
"Yes."
Seeing the two of them go to Brand Residence, Ling Yue smiled bitterly, "Chen Su should be regarded as the most common person in this island who has Lord Brand's ability, right?" β
Qi Linghe said: "Well, I think it's counted." Others describe it as a two-headed run in three days, but he runs once a day, and those who don't know think he's the illegitimate son of Lord Brand. β
Kong Yunfan shook his head, "You better talk less about Brother Chen in the back, it's not good for him to hear it." β
Lingyue hummed and chirped on the side: "What are you afraid of, with my old sister in Chen Su, does he dare to do anything to me?" And Sister Qi also has Brother Kong by her side, so it is impossible for him to come over to settle accounts. β
Qi Linghe looked at Kong Yunfan with a smile, the latter's face was slightly red, and he didn't speak.
"Okay, let's go and cultivate." When the words fell, Huang Nian left alone with a cold expression.
ββ¦β¦β
Xiang Yin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Huang Nian, sister is ......"
Li Zhimo sighed slightly, and his tone was low, "One of her small sacrifices fell in front of us in a battle with the United Cave Heaven, so ......"
Xiang Yin pursed his lips and nodded, "I see, it's ......"
Even Lingyue, who had always been more lively, quieted down.
Ling Xue waved her hand, "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, let's go back to cultivation quickly, Master Yun just left, we can't just relax like this." β
"Uh-huh."
And they should go their own way.
"Master Zong, I don't understand something,"
"You say."
"Why did you meet with Master Brand...... Need me over? β
Zong looked ahead and said, "You may not believe it when you say it, but this is actually what Lord Yun explained." β
"Huh?"
"It's not about the exchange of the sigils yet."
"But I made an appointment with Master Brand yesterday."
"I know." Zong Xian Chen Su landed in front of Brand's treehouse in one step, turned his head and said, "I know that you have already discussed it with Lord Brand, so the main reason for coming here today is to inquire about the next round of rules first." β
"......" Chen Su was speechless.
It turns out that you yourself want to know!
"Okay, okay, don't you think it's a bit too much to discuss this kind of thing in front of me?" Although he said so, Brand came out with a smile on his face, "Master Zong, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Zong saluted gracefully, "Hello, Lord Brand. β
"Please come in."
After coming in, Chen Su sat down on the chair with ease, anyway, the object of today's interrogation was not himself, he was very comfortable.
is also a soul returnee, and there is not so much etiquette between the other two, after Zong sat down, he spoke directly: "Lord Brand, it was actually Lord Yun who asked me to come over today." β
"I know, she told you yesterday, so I'm ready for it." As he spoke, Brand went straight to the point, and a roll of brown paper fluttered out of his hand.
Zong took it, and his face remained unchanged when he opened it to look at it, because he had guessed a few points about the content of the rules.
A few minutes later, Zong waved the kraft paper and handed it to Chen Su.
"Huh? So fast? Chen Su raised his eyebrows.
"Well, it's not much."
Chen Su opened the brown paper and found that it was indeed the rules of the next round of fighting: (There are currently 160 people left)
Rules for the second round of the competition: Ability fights.
All the Ability Players team is disorganized and reorganized (and all Level 6 Ability players must be separated), and the Ability Players will play in a team of five for five days in turns, and those with the top score will advance to the next round.
The score system is as follows: 6 wins 6 by 2 points, anyone wins 5 by 1 point, and 5 points against 5 wins 6.
Someone asked, why didn't this include those with fourth-level abilities? Quite simply, there are no fourth-level abilities left in this competition.
Chen Su raised his head and asked, "My lord, I have a question, didn't it say how many rounds each of our combinations would have to play?" β
"You think it's appropriate for you to play a few rounds in five days." Brand asked rhetorically.
ββββ
I don't know.
Zong said to Chen Su: "Lord Brand's meaning is very simple, you can go up and fight if you want to, as long as there is an opponent who is willing to fight." β
"What about the score? This is a group battle, and I think it's a bit unfair to some non-combat powers. β
Brand smiled and said, "You keep looking. β
(Note: The winning group is free to distribute the score.) οΌ
Free distribution?
Chen Su raised his head suddenly, this sentence means that if our side wins the team with a sixth-level ability on the opposite side, then we can give its score to the fifth-level ability, or we can give it to the sixth-level ability!
This rule
It is a test of the resilience of the capable and the ability to unite with each other, after all, the score also means who can advance to the next round......
Chen Su already had a rough score distribution plan in his mind.
Zong pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Brand, has the location of the next round of the competition been cleared?" β
"You can rest assured about this, Master Zong, it has been cleaned up a long time ago, and the space has been reinforced."
"Hmm."
On the contrary, Chen Su on the opposite side is a little big, and the next round will really test the strength of his teammates, and it will be difficult for him to help anything.
"Now that the rules are known, Chen Su, we should also go." Zong stood up and said.
In such a hurry?
Chen Su glanced at Zong in surprise, stood up and arched his hand at Brand, "My lord, then let's go first." β
"Well, walk slowly."
The first thing Chen Su did after returning was to inform his teammates of the rules of the next round of fighting, and this time they finally knew why Brand could share the rules of the competition with Chen Su without hesitation.
- In fact, even if you know the rules in advance, there is no way to get an advantage for yourself in the next battle, because it is completely dependent on personal strength, and there is no chance to take advantage of it.
The day's cultivation passed quickly, and late at night, Chen Su was a little tired, so he came to the edge of the island alone to relax.
The seaside is still rolling waves, and the Milky Way hangs high in the sky, full of dazzling colors.
He took off his shoes and stepped on the water, the cold touch seemed to be able to make people transparent, looking at the tide rising and falling in front of him, Chen Su was a little distracted.
"Why are you here?"
A familiar voice came, and as soon as Chen Su turned around, a small Mo was sitting on the beach not far away.
"Lord Mo?"
"Come and sit down." Mo patted his side.
Chen Su walked to her side in silence and sat down, "My lord, are you also tired of cultivating?" β
"No, I'm just bored."
"...... "Soul returners are good, and they don't have to worry about cultivation."
"Is that Lord Yun thinking about Lord Yun here?"
"You've found out."
Mo smiled, Chen Su seemed to hear a hint of stubbornness in her tone, "Could it be ...... No? β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Mo turned into a black question mark face, "What are you thinking about?" Has the energy volley been completely mastered? Do you understand the rules inside that hedron? I'm in charge here. β
"Isn't it sooner or later?" Chen Su shrugged, directly looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
Mo pursed his lips, turned his head and continued to look at the vast ocean in front of him, "Chen Su, do you think 'past life' is important?" β
"Past lives? The ...... before your soul returns Experienced? β
"Hmm."
It was also the first time Chen Su heard Mo talk about this topic, and he pursed his lips and said, "I think...... It should be important, after all, it is also part of the real life experience. β
"What if...... It's in complete conflict with the present. β
"For example?"
"For example...... Love, family affection, or comrades-in-arms become enemies or something. β
Isn't that a complete change in identity, and that's okay?
Chen Su looked ahead, pondered for a moment and said: "I think it depends on the object, if it is really a very important person to him, then it should be retained." β
"What if one party remembers and the other forgets?"
Chen Su glanced at her obliquely, "Amnesia? Playing such an ancient routine? β
"Even if that's the case, the only ones who remember those anyway are the Soul Returnees."
"If someone has amnesia, you can try to make him remember, or tell him the story of the past in person, if he still doesn't believe it, he will be beaten up if he can't get there, anyway, with your temper, it is very possible. ......" Speaking of this, Chen Su's expression stiffened unconsciously, "That...... That person shouldn't be me, after all, Lord Mo's old routine doesn't look like you, a soul returner, would play......"
of it......
Bar......
Mo had thought about confessing the "before" relationship between the two to Chen Su, but when he turned his head and saw this guy's "terrifying" expression, he immediately swallowed his words.
Mo instantly punched him over, knocking Chen Su far away, "Do you think I'm talking about you?" I'm thinking about fart! β
Chen Su directly fell into a dog eating, didn't care about the big pile of sand on his face, turned around and said: "Even if I'm a little narcissistic, you don't have to be so ruthless!" β
Mo Leng snorted, floated up and said, "Forget it, it's not interesting to talk to you at all, let's go." β
ββ¦β¦β
Wait, I haven't avenged that punch yet!
Although he thought so in his heart, Chen Su's feet were still firmly rooted in place, just that, if he shouted like this, I was afraid that he would have to be beaten again.
Chen Su couldn't help but sigh again, and turned to leave in the direction of the tree house.
β¦β¦
By the time the powerhouses reassembled, it was already the third night after the first round of the competition.
Since all the Soul Returners had already returned during the day, tonight was a good time to head to the second round of the tournament.
Brand stood at the front, looked down at the abilities in front of him, and said, "Guys, we're going to go to the location of the second round of the fight, but I still have something to announce before the fight officially begins. β
"One is the time of the competition: as soon as the daylight arrives tomorrow, our second round of competition will officially begin, which will last for five days, so after each sunrise, it will become an important moment for your competition, and I will announce the overall rules of the second round of competition here."
There is no doubt that the rules that Brand announced next are the same as those that Chen Su saw yesterday morning. In fact, when the people of China heard Brand announce this
The heart is still a little shocked.
Of course, this shock was actually given to Chen Su.
Just like a classmate leaking the question for you in advance before the big exam, although it may not be possible to completely defeat everyone, a "" still has to be given.
After finally talking about those cumbersome rules and precautions, Brand said something more, turned around and waved his hand, and opened the space door with the dozens of soul returnees around him.
ββ¦β¦ Doesn't it mean that the spatial structure of this island is very stable? Chu Wuhuang whispered to Liu Kang behind him.
"I don't know, maybe it's the special ability of the Soul Returnee."
"Actually, it's just relatively stable." Chen Su explained, "If the Soul Returner has more concentrated power, it can still be reluctantly opened, and you will understand it when you reach the sixth level." β
"Oh."
After a moment, Brand turned around and said, "Alright, please lead the Soul Returners to the new venue for the next round." β
"Yes." The Soul Returnees nodded in unison, and then one by one the capable ones were lifted up, followed by their respective leaders, and burrowed into the space gate to leave.
Because he is also a sixth-level ability, Chen Su deliberately remembered the spatial location of this island when he left, what if when he could still use it?
The light flashed in front of them, and when everyone landed, it was already a new place.
The soil on the ground is pale red in the light of the ferry, and the hills in the distance appear to be spectacular against the starlit background.
"These are all mountains ahead? So much? Qi Linghe said curiously with wide eyes.
"Hmm." Kong Yunfan nodded and said, "If we are still in North America according to Lord Brand said, this should be the Grand Canyon of Colorado, which is also one of the largest canyons in the world. β
"If the second round is here...... The terrain is more complicated, I'm afraid. β
Chen Su said, unconsciously looking at Kong Yunfan, it was obvious that the two of them thought of this at the same time.
"Brother Chen is right, we all have to pay attention to the terrain when we fight, especially your Spirit Crane, I'm afraid the flight system will not be able to play well here."
Qi Linghe hooked his shoulder, "Anla, it's okay." β
Brand was the last to come in and said, "Everyone, welcome to the Grand Canyon, this is where your next round of competition will be, and now I will assign the second round of groups according to the rules." β
As he spoke, a box suddenly appeared in his hand, "Next, I will first pick out ten teams of four people, and these people will first form a team with ten sixth-level abilities, everyone, pray for yourself." β
Chen Su and Li Zhimo glanced at each other, and their hands were quietly clasped, anyway, they were destined to be separated, and they could only hope that they would not touch each other when fighting.
"Thirty-two teams, nearly one-third of them have sixth-level abilities, isn't this destined for them to advance?"
"Yesterday we adults said that most of these are just promoted, but they are not that scary."
ββ¦β¦β
Ignoring the whispers of the group below, Brand began the draw.
The first one to pick was Langdon's team.
Dongying people, Ah San, North America, North America.
Seeing that there were still two people from the North American team inside, a group of people at the bottom suddenly had some commotion, what kind of luck is this, there are not many people in the first place, and this can still choose your own people?
Only later did they realize that they were still too naΓ―ve.
The second is Dianala.
Russians, Huaxia Lingxue Lingyue sisters, Russians.
This is the case again, the more a group of people look at their expressions, the stranger they become, and sure enough...... What's the underlying code in here!
The third is Chen Su.
Huang Nian, Chu Wuhuang, Dongying people, Russians.
Wow......
A group of people were in an uproar, if the first two could be explained by coincidence, then when they arrived at Chen Su, everyone knew - this was indeed operated.
Fourth ......
There is no need to guess the next situation, basically every team of a level 6 ability has two members of its team.
Liu Kang's expression was strange, and he said uncertainly: "Why did Lord Brand do this?" Doesn't this create contradictions among the capable people below out of thin air? β
Chen Su and Kong Yunfan looked at each other and smiled, and the former said, "Actually, Lord Brand is putting pressure on the sixth-level abilities by doing this. β
"How?"
Hearing Chen Su's words, not only the members of the Huaxia team, but also many other teams also looked at it at the same time.
"The reason is actually very simple, for example, a team with a sixth-level ability, if that person can bring all the people to the next round, it is naturally the best. However, if he finds that there are insufficient teammates after calculating the score, someone else can carry his teammates to the next round. You say...... What would the other Level 6 Abilities think? So should he give the score to his teammates or to the rest of the team? That's actually a problem. β
Chen Su wrapped his arms around his chest and said with a smile, as if he was not in the example he had just given.
"Oh...... I see, Level 6 ability players also have their own competition, so they must try to bring their team intact. And if all five of them are mixed, they can even keep their scores. β
Chen Su nodded and said, "Yes, it should be regarded as making them feel a little responsible." β
When they said this, Brand above their heads also happened to draw the last sixth-level ability-Li Zhimo.
The tenth Li Zhimo.
Qi Linghe, Kong Yunfan, North America, South America.
At this time, the eyes of many soul returnees fell on Li Zhimo's body.
Sixth-level ability - but she's a wet nurse.
How far can this team play in the competition?
They will see.
