Chapter 90: Ranking Contest of 1,000 People
The request of the Jin Qiang patriarch contains the ardent hope of the whole clan, how could Shuo Gang not agree? He solemnly agreed to the request of the Jin Qiang patriarch and promised that he would go all out to defeat Yi Xuanyang and win the first place!
After receiving Shuo Gang's assurance, the Jin Qiang patriarch left satisfied. Shuo Gang calmed down his excitement and entered the comprehension of the rhyme of thorns again.
The test of the Star Kingdom War Academy did not last long, and with the support of the powerful functions of the Shretched Realm, the originally complicated and lengthy test was completed in less than five days.
A day later, the test results were counted.
Of the more than 300,000 candidates who took the entrance test for the Star War Academy, only 158,620 candidates passed the test and were admitted to the Star War College. The rest of the candidates were eliminated and had to continue their studies at their respective tribal war academies.
Initially, more than 900,000 of the more than 1.6 million freshmen from the sixteen tribes of the Nag Star Kingdom applied for the Star Kingdom War Academy, and only about one-sixth of them were finally admitted. Such an elimination rate may not be high for a human with a large population, but it is quite high for a mechanical race with a very low population fertility rate.
When the final test results of the Star Kingdom War Academy have been counted, the entrance test of the Star Kingdom Science and Technology Academy has not yet been completed, because technology is not like combat power, which can be manifested so obviously and so easily. How strong a mechanical person is can be shown through a battle, but how much technology a mechanical person has mastered needs to be repeatedly tested before it can be revealed.
Iron Arm, Flying Samarium, Di Lei, and Chongfeng have all passed the entrance test of the Star War Academy, however, only 8,235 clansmen of the Gustan tribe have passed the entrance test of the Star War College this time, and they can enter the Star War College to study, and the pass rate is not high compared to previous years, and it is even a little low.
On the fifth day after the entrance test, all candidates who passed the entrance test received their admission letters. In the entrance test, the candidates whose combat power was comprehensively recognized as the top 1,000 also received an invitation letter for the 1,000-person combat power ranking competition. Like the entrance test certificate, the letter and invitation letter are issued through the Avatar and are tied to the recipient's Avatar account.
The registration time stated in the admission letter is one month later, while the invitation letter is only accepted within 24 hours. Each invited candidate must determine whether he or she accepts the invitation within this time limit, and once the deadline is overdue, it will be deemed to be automatically abandoned.
If you accept the invitation, you can participate in the 1000 Ranked Tournament, and if you decline the invitation, you will lose your qualification for the 1000 Ranked Tournament. The Star Kingdom War Academy will invite the corresponding number of candidates from the 1,000 candidates to participate in the 1,000-person ranking tournament according to the ranking of combat power. In short, the number of participants in the 1000 Ranking Tournament must be 1,000, which is perhaps why it is named the 1000 Ranking Tournament.
Of course, unless it's someone with a bad brain, no one will refuse this invitation. Because being able to receive an invitation is an honor in itself, an affirmation of the strength of the invitee.
Shuo Gang accepted the invitation, and among the Gustan tribe who accepted the invitation like him, there were also Cho Zhao and Qianjun, both of whom had a combat power of less than a thousand, but their rankings were not very high, and they were at the level of the lower reaches.
Apart from the three of them, no one from the Gustan clan was invited.
Among the sixteen tribes of the Nagxing Kingdom, the Gustan tribe is a tribe with average strength, and the core origin content of its newborn people is generally less than 3 trace amounts, while the core origin content of the newborn mechanical clan who can accept this invitation is mostly above 3 trace amounts. Therefore, only Shuo Gang, Cho Zhao and Qianjun of the Gustan tribe received the invitation.
And some big clans, such as the Blade Mountain tribe, have more than 200 clansmen with a core origin content of more than 3 trace amounts, so the number of clansmen in their tribe who have received invitations is also more than 200.
Of course, some of the weaker tribes, such as the Busuk tribe at the bottom, didn't even get an invitation.
Before entering the Flying Feather Realm, the main reason why the Gustan tribe was able to rise to prominence and win the second place, which was a good result that made all the tribes stunned, was only because of the appearance of the dark horse of Shuogang, not because of how much the overall strength of the new generation of the Gustan tribe had improved.
After accepting the invitation, Shuo Gang waited for another two days. In the past two days, the other members of the first team did not bother Shuo Gang, because they knew that the boss was going to participate in the 1000-person ranking tournament and needed to rest.
During this time, Shuo Gang had a general understanding of the format of the 1,000-person ranking competition.
The 1,000-person ranking tournament is divided into three rounds.
The first round is the group points competition, the 1,000 invited participants will be divided into 10 groups of 100 players, and then play according to a single round-robin format, with three points for one win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a defeat.
The second round is the ranking competition, where the top 10 participants with the highest points in each group will qualify and form a group of 100 people to compete for the final ranking of the top 100 in a single round-robin competition. The remaining 900 contestants will also compete for the remaining rankings through a single round-robin format.
The third round is the challenge, when the ranking of 1,000 participants is determined, the participants between 101 and 200 will get a chance to challenge any of the top 100 participants, and if the challenge is successful, they will replace the challenged person and enter the top 100, and if the challenge fails, the ranking will remain the same.
After the challenge, the final ranking of the 1,000-person ranking battle is determined, and the qualifying competition ends.
Two days later, the 1,000-person ranking tournament began.
This game is still played in the virtual realm, and Shuo Gang is already very familiar with the game in the virtual realm. However, after experiencing some battles in reality, especially after experiencing two life-and-death battles on Sin Star, Shuo Gang felt more and more that although the Void Realm could simulate the strength of any mechanical race exactly the same as reality, there was no difference, but this simulation still could not fully reflect the combat power of a mechanical race.
Some fighters can fight without fear of death in the Void, but in reality, they may not have such courage.
Because the battle in the Void does not really die, even if the Void can simulate the pain of death, it cannot allow the combatant to truly experience the terrifying feeling of facing death, and it cannot fundamentally hone the will of the combatant.
This was a flaw in the Void Realm, which Shuo Gang had not noticed before, and now he knew it clearly.
Of course, Shuo Gang will not completely deny the role of the Void because of this small flaw in the Void. He is also clear about the advantages of the Shroud, so he will still use the Shroud to improve his combat power, and at the same time, he will pay more attention to sharpening his will through real-life battles.
Shuo just came to the Void and entered the thousand-person ranking system. Before the competition started, the system was grouping the contestants, and soon, the results of the group came out, and Shuo Gang was placed in the second group. He glanced at the names of the second group of contestants, and there was only one familiar name in it, and it was Gustan. Qianjun, as for the other names, are very unfamiliar to Shuo Gang.
Shuo Gang once browsed the principle of grouping in the thousand-person ranking competition system, and knew that the system was not completely random when grouping, but grouped according to combat power to a certain extent. The top 100 contestants in terms of power will be scattered by the system and evenly distributed in ten groups, while the top 10 contestants in terms of power will be scattered in ten groups.
The reason for this grouping is largely to avoid too many strong contestants being assigned to a group, which will cause unnecessary competition and affect the real surname of the ranking.
Similarly, the reason why the third round of the 1,000-person ranking tournament is arranged is to make the ranking of the top 100 more realistic. If a contestant has the power to be in the top 100 but accidentally falls out of the top 100, this challenge provides him with a chance to return to the top 100.
Of course, if this contestant does not even enter the top 200 in the first two rounds, then he will not be able to enter the top 100 at all, and he will not need such an opportunity. This is also the reason why the third round of the 1000-person ranking tournament stipulates that only participants between 101 and 200 have the opportunity to challenge any of the top 100 participants.
Shuo Gang checked Yi Xuanyang's grouping and found that he was divided into the first group, and at the same time, he also saw Pu Xuanyang in the third group, Zhu Qianfang in the fourth group, Jin Shengzhao in the fifth group, and Feng Rong Tie in the sixth group......
"The top ten should be grouped according to the ranking of combat power, Yi Xuanyang was placed in the first group, obviously his combat power is still considered the first by the system. However, Samarium Feather is in the third group, has the system decided that my combat power surpasses Samarium Feather? ”
Looking at the grouping, Shuo Gang's thoughts were flying.
