Chapter 468: Tactics and Grouping

The Great Refining Contest has come to the fourth day, and today, it will compete for the championship of the two competitions of the Divine Desperate Realm.

According to the schedule, the Divine Desperate Realm Restriction Fight will divide the eighteen promoted cultivators into four groups in a four-four-five-five manner, and continue to compete for the first and second places in the group in a single round-robin manner, and the eight who win will enter the final elimination round.

This way of competing is not a good thing for those cultivators who lack stamina or perseverance. After all, after being divided, everyone has to face all the contestants in their group, rather than a few opponents randomly selected to play against each other, as was the case before. In this case, there will not be a situation where you get lucky to advance because you draw an opponent who is easier to deal with.

It's also important to note that the cycle within the group is always ongoing, which means they don't have much time to rest. And the battle of the refiner has always been extremely tragic, except for being knocked out of the ring and disqualified from the competition, most of them will fight for a person who is injured and lost. Therefore, after losing the first game and being injured, the rest of the game fell back to the downside.

Sangyan's grouping was a group of four. His opponents were from the Eucharistic Pavilion, the Imperial Sect, and the Chongjia Sect. Moreover, his opponent in the first battle was none other than a cultivator who was also from the Eucharistic Pavilion.

"That guy's strength is not weak, but he is a close confidant of Elder Sang Huan, in the face of Sang Yan's words, I am afraid that he will not resist a lot, and will even surrender directly......" Director surnamed Liu, who was sitting in the preparation area, transmitted his voice to Situ Huidao. He was also involved in restricted fights, but in the preliminary round, he only scored six points and did not advance, so he was still sitting in the preparation area at this time.

As members of the council, they cannot take sides with any of them. Therefore, he has no prejudice against Sang Huan and Yang Shujie. However, his relationship with Situ Hui has always been good.

"Surrender?" Situ Hui was a little puzzled. In his opinion, even if there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, they should not surrender directly.

"This is the first time you have participated in the Body Refining Competition, and you still don't know where the advantages of our Eucharistic Pavilion are. We have so many body refiners entering the rematch of the restricted fight, and in order to maximize the interests of the Eucharistic Chamber, there will be certain tactical arrangements.

For example, now, Sang Huan, as our No. 1 seed, will fight with his own people in the first game, so he must save his strength instead of wasting his physical strength on competing with his own people for rankings. As for the other, although he will lose the first match, he retains his strength and can have the upper hand against the rest of the group. As a result, he is more likely to advance. The director's words refreshed Situ Hui's concept.

Sure enough, as the council member said, after the first game began, Sang Yan's opponent directly chose to abstain and surrender. However, the two body refiners of the Emperor Extreme Sect and the Heavy Armor Sect fought against each other for half an hour. It wasn't until the end that the person from the Chongjia Sect relied on his strong endurance to narrowly defeat his opponent.

In the third battle after that, Sang Yan fought against the Divine Desperate Body Refiner of the Heavy Armor Sect. The difference in the strength of the two should not be particularly large, but the person from the Chongjia Sect was already exhausted, and after being able to resist Sang Yan's few moves, he was defeated and fell to the ground, and Sang Yan won the second victory very lightly.

In the fourth game, another person from the Sacred Body Pavilion fought against the body refiners of the Imperial Extreme Sect, although the person from the Imperial Extreme Sect had just rested for a while, but this kind of cultivation was just a drop in the bucket for the body refiners of the Divine Desperate Realm, and they still did not have enough combat power to defeat the cultivators of the Sacred Body Pavilion.

After Sang Yan and the other person in the Eucharistic Pavilion exchanged opponents, the situation was still one-sided in favor of the Eucharistic Pavilion. Therefore, Sang Huan won all three games, and the other ended up with two wins, both of which advanced to the knockout round.

A similar tactical arrangement took place in another group of four. In this group, there is the member of the Eucharistic who has won nine victories, and the member of the Eucharistic who has only won seven victories and is of medium strength. After the two of them carefully analyzed the situation in the group, they actually let the Seven Victory Refiner win first. After that, the nine-win refiner won two games in a row, and the seven-win refiner won one win and one loss. Both of them advanced to the final with two wins and one loss. The other two contestants could only win one and lose two and miss the next competition.

"According to the format, the first group will fight the second place in the other group and play the knockout round, so although both of them are two wins and one loss, it will still be the stronger one who will qualify as the group leader. That way, he will have a better chance of reaching the semi-finals in the end. As for the other one, it is already his limit to be able to lie down and win to reach the quarterfinals. Perhaps, when the time comes, I will be able to help other members of the Eucharistic Cabinet who have qualified as the first in the group. The board of directors continued to "eliminate illiteracy" for Situ Hui.

At the end of the group stage, six people from the Eucharistic Pavilion entered the quarterfinals! In addition to the two groups just now, the members of the Eucharistic Pavilion of the other two groups all qualified as the second in the group. As for the last two spots, they are members of the God of War and Titans.

After the group stage, these body refiners were finally able to rest for a while. Because the next game is going to be a goddespair freestyle fight.

At this time, a total of 12 people will advance, and according to the rules of the game, they need to be freely combined to form four groups for a team competition. In the end, only six people from two groups can advance to the knockout round.

In other words, the choice of teammates is very important in this game. After all, no matter how good you are, you can't beat three opponents with one against three opponents of the same level who rely on their strength to break through to this round, right?

Since there was still one member of the Titan clan who had been promoted, coupled with the previous agreement with Situ Hui, Su Qing quickly formed his own three-person team.

Seeing that Su Qing chose Situ Hui, the other contestants were not surprised, but they were not very optimistic about Situ Hui's strength. They could all feel that Situ Hui was just the strength of the early stage of the God's Desperate Realm, and they also knew that he had only advanced to the top 12 with a bye in the third round and a restraint in the fourth round, and the process of promotion was really a bit watery. Therefore, for Su Qing's choice, they only thought that Su Qing was selling a face to the Eucharistic Pavilion.

"Congratulations, you accepted such a 'good' comrade-in-arms...... Zhan Xuance, who was also after forming the team, took the initiative to come to Su Qing's side and spoke to Su Qing in a playful tone.

His teammates, one is Zhan Wenlong, who is also from the God of War clan, and the other is Moge from the Heavy Armor Sect. This Moge was a decision he made after comparing the people who had advanced from the three major sects, and this guy can be regarded as an extremely strong contestant. At least in his opinion, Situ Hui was far inferior to Mog.

"Of course he's a good comrade-in-arms. After all, he's my opponent in the final......"
