One hundred and forty-five draws
"Hehe, it looks like there are a lot of old opponents!"
Yun Xiao, who walked to the left of the main ring, looked at the lineup of about a hundred people, and couldn't help muttering, because he found that many of these people had a dislike for him.
Except for Feng Hang, Shen Xiao and Guan Tong, most of those who have the heart to participate in the Outer Gate Contest are veteran geniuses who have joined the Outer Gate of the Jade Pot Sect for three or six years, and most of their pulse qi cultivation is also in the late stage of the Gathering Pulse Realm and the peak of the Gathering Pulse Realm.
However, Yun Xiao looked at the past, but found that the third prince of the Xuanyue Empire, Xuan Zhi, was also among them, but this one had already broken through to the late stage of the Gathering Pulse Realm, and it was understandable to participate in this outer door competition.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Xiao saw that Zhao Ningshu of the Zhao family and Cao Luo of the Cao family were also standing somewhere, with a touch of excitement on their faces.
"No wonder, it turned out that it had broken through to the middle stage of the Gathering Vein Realm!"
When Yun Xiao's soul power sensed the pulse qi of these two people, which was still slightly overflowing, it immediately dawned, it seemed that in the past ten days, Zhao Ningshu and Cao Luo had their own breakthroughs, and they both reached the middle stage of the Gathering Pulse Realm.
Of course, now Yun Xiao's opponents are no longer these new geniuses who have entered the outer gate together, but those veteran disciples of the outer gate, and even the top five ruthless people on the Fan List.
It's just that in the eyes of outsiders, Yun Xiao's cultivation in the late stage of the Gathering Pulse Realm should not have much chance if he wants to stand out among the outer geniuses, after all, in the subconscious of these outer geniuses, pulse qi cultivation determines everything.
Even Fenghang Shen Xiao, who had fought with Yun Xiao, had never regarded Yun Xiao as an opponent, because in the first few times, Yun Xiao either used tricks or external forces, and his own strength was not reflected much at all.
As for Zhao Ningshu and Cao Luo Xuanzhi, they had fought with Yun Xiao before, but the higher this pulse qi cultivation, the higher the gap, the greater the gap between the realms.
At the peak of the Pulse Attracting Realm, he was able to defeat the early stage of the Gathering Pulse Realm, and even tied with Xuan Zhi in the middle of the Gathering Pulse Realm, and after reaching the Gathering Pulse Realm, it should be impossible for Yun Xiao to have such a leapfrog challenge ability.
Therefore, this rough-clothed young man stood in the crowd, except for those vague hatred and resentment, no one would be too optimistic about Yun Xiao, and they had more important things to pay attention to.
Seeing that more than 100 people had gathered on the left side of the main ring in the center, and no one came down from the stands, the sixth elder Su He saluted the two elders behind him and walked over quickly.
Swish!
Su He, who came closer, wiped his left and right hands on his waist, and then there were two more cylinders on his hands, and there were some wooden sticks in the hole.
Yun Xiao raised his eyes and saw that the wooden stick in Su He's left hand was pitch black, but the wooden stick in his right hand was green.
"Fellow disciples of the outer sect, there are a total of one hundred and twenty people participating in the outer gate competition this time, and there are wooden sticks from one to sixty on each of my left and right hands, please come forward to draw lots in turn, and the two with the same number on the black and green lots, they are the opponents in the first round of the ring!"
It has been a few years since he thought that Su He had done such a thing, and he was familiar with both his actions and explanations, and his explanation was also aimed at the new outer disciples Ruyun Xiaoxuan, as for those veteran geniuses, they naturally had an understanding of the rules for a long time.
The so-called lottery also requires a certain amount of luck, for example, an outer door genius at the peak of the Gathering Pulse Realm could have entered the top ten, if he was unlucky and drew Feng Hang or Shen Xiao in the first round, then his road to the outer gate this time could be regarded as coming to an end.
So everyone is secretly praying not to draw two geniuses from the Chong Pulse Realm in the first round, speaking of which, sometimes, luck is also part of strength, and a good draw may determine how far this genius's path can go.
Compared to these geniuses of the Gathering Pulse Realm rank, Feng Hang and Shen Xiao were not so entangled, this time they seemed to have made an appointment again, and they both took a step forward.
However, the position of the two of them stretched out their hands was completely different, the lottery holder drawn by Feng Hang was black, and Shen Xiao was stretched out to green, the movements and speed of the two were similar, and they each pulled out a wooden stick in an instant.
"It's best if these two draw the same number!"
Seeing this scene, many people secretly prayed in their hearts, if these two geniuses of the Chongmai Realm met in the first round, and then fought for life and death, then maybe they really had a chance to compete for the top two rankings.
I just want to draw two identical signs for the first time among the sixty wooden sticks, this probability is undoubtedly extremely small, at least when Feng Hang and Shen Xiao each raised the wooden sticks in their hands, everyone saw it very clearly, and couldn't help but be very disappointed.
"Closed sailing, black sign number eight!"
"Shen Xiao, green sign No. 54!"
With Elder Su He's loud voice, everyone's hearts were disappointed, their prayers just now were undoubtedly ineffective, as if they had the opposite effect, the number of the two was simply 108,000 miles apart.
Many veteran geniuses who have experienced the previous Outer Gate Competition, all know the qualifications of this Outer Gate Competition, which is generally divided into two halves, and then the winner of the final two halves will fight each other.
For example, this time, a total of 120 people signed up for the Outer Gate Competition, indicating that there are 60 people in each of the upper and lower half districts, that is, the first 30 signs are one and a half districts, and the last 30 are one and a half districts.
Now that Feng Hang has drawn the eighth and Shen Xiao has drawn the fifty-fourth, doesn't it mean that these two people have already occupied the top spot in the upper and lower half of the region, so what else do the others have to compete for?
Although in the hearts of these outer disciples, they originally knew that the top two in the outer door competition this time were very likely to belong to Feng Hang and Shen Xiao, but they still had one last hope, that is, to draw lots.
As long as Feng Hang and Shen Xiao can draw the same half of the district, then before the final battle, these two will definitely eliminate one, so that the other geniuses will have a chance.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or if that's the case, in short, after the draw of lots for these two, everyone was disappointed, and they dispelled that unrealistic idea.
After all, every time there is a big competition between the outer gates, in addition to the top two who must be able to enter the inner gate, there are still some special circumstances, such as the great elder and the second elder or even the sixth elder Su He, if they fancy which outer disciple, they can also make an exception to accept it as a descendant disciple and directly enter the inner gate.
Now that the two fixed places have been locked by Feng Hang and Shen Xiao, these outer geniuses can only retreat and do their best to refute that illusory opportunity.
The third person to draw lots was Guan Tong, who was ranked third on the Fan List, he was already a cultivator who had stepped into the Chong Pulse Realm with half a foot, except for the two super geniuses Feng Hang and Shen Xiao, he had no opponents at all in this outer gate.
"Don't draw to the top half!"
Guan Tong took a deep breath and said silently in his heart, relatively speaking, he still thought that Feng Hang, the number one on the Fan List, was stronger, so he was more willing to face Shen Xiao, who was the second on the Fan List.
In Guan Tong's opinion, as long as he draws the same lower half of the area as Shen Xiao, at least there is no surprise in the decisive battle of breaking into the second half of the area, and when the time comes, it is not that there is no chance of defeating Shen Xiao by using some hidden means.
Therefore, what Guan Tong drew was a black lot, because the closure just now was also a black lot, and if you draw this side, at least this first round will never encounter the closure.
However, the heavens didn't seem to hear the voice from the bottom of Guan Tong's heart, and when he drew the black stick out of the lottery holder and looked at the big "sixteen" on it, his mood undoubtedly became a little depressed.
Below the 30th lot, they all belong to the upper half of the region, which means that even if Guan Tong can defeat all the geniuses in the upper half of the region, he will encounter the closure of the air before the final battle, which is beyond doubt.
"Guantong, black sign No. 16!"
Su He didn't care about Guan Tong's ugly face, and dutifully shouted loudly, so that most of the people in the audience focused their eyes on the black stick.
It seems that these outer disciples can stand out from hundreds of disciples, and they will not be fools, and now the black lottery No. 8 and No. 16 have been drawn by the closed air traffic management pass, if they go to draw the green lot, maybe they will meet these two.
Under the trade-off between the two, it is still a better chance to win by drawing a black lottery, although it is said that the green sign No. 54 also has Shen Xiao, a strong person in the Chong Pulse Realm, but after all, it is only one person, and the chance of encountering it is undoubtedly much smaller.
Whew!
Almost unanimously, dozens of hands had already stretched out towards the black stick, and in just a moment, the black sticker in Su He's hand was empty.
Some of the geniuses of the outer door who acted a little slower and didn't grab the black wooden sticks hung their heads one by one, scolding themselves for not being faster?
It's just that when these people who didn't grab the black sign saw the look of mourning on someone's face, their hearts were finally balanced, and even some people didn't need to look at it to know what the black sign in this person's hand was?
"Black sign, fifty-four!"
When a genius who was close to that person read out the number of the black lot, everyone no longer doubted that this person's face was so ugly because he drew Shen Xiao in the first round, and I have to say that his luck was really a little ...... Oh no!
However, everyone went to compete for this black lot, and someone would definitely draw the fifty-fourth, so the people next to him did not gloat, to some extent, it was because this person drew the fifty-fourth that they avoided the catastrophe, and they also had to thank this person for doing it.
Relatively speaking, Yun Xiao and Ling Pill did not compete for the black lottery, because grabbing the black lottery, at most, they avoided encountering the first round of the closure of the navigation pipe, and they should have met it, and they would still meet it in the end.
