Another thing that Elder Wang was tired of was that he didn't despise the hard work of the Demon Source Sect. He believed that others must have felt the same way. What is it to protect the disciples, what is to be able to achieve good results in the official competition, isn't that pure nonsense?

Doing everything possible to change all kinds of tricks, he thinks that everything that is not separated from his sect is nothing more than for their Demon Source Sect to get one or two qualifying places and avoid the shame of being shaved again!

Others were also confused. In the last preliminaries, the Demon Source Sect suffered the heaviest defeat, and all nine participating disciples were wiped out, and none of them won the right to qualify, which made the Demon Source Sect lose face. Pushing back further, decades and nearly a hundred years ago, the Demon Source Sect was still dominant, and then the Cuimu Sect gradually completed the overtake.

Continuing to push backwards, the reason why the Cuimu faction is called the Cuimu faction is because the people were originally the earliest "land-sitting households", and the history is only slightly shorter than that of Cuimu City. And the Demon Source Sect and the other six factions were all later "outsiders". The joint suppression of "foreigners" has lasted for more than 1,000 years.

However, the seven factions other than the Emerald Wood Sect naturally did not really work together, otherwise the Emerald Wood Sect would have collapsed a long time ago. In addition, here in Cuimu City, there are no particularly special and sought-after resources that are particularly worthy of fighting to the death, so the struggles of several factions are just small fights.

For historical reasons, the "mobilization work" in front of Lord Shitang and Deacon Hong, several elders really didn't take it seriously. It doesn't matter what you say, everyone listen, the key is to see what you do after that?

Everyone has a common question, why does the Demon Source Sect suddenly seem to be quite confident?

Obviously, a lot of effort has been put into these preparations, and they are very solid and methodical, which is quite refreshing to everyone; if it is just to mix up the two places, how can we make a big fuss. People believe that in the last preliminaries, the fiasco of the Demon Source Sect was very accidental and caused by bad luck.

Deacon Hong said: "I mentioned two main preparatory rules and the preparatory plan of the referee team. Now I would like to ask the elders of each faction to discuss what this section is about. ”

A few people looked at each other and felt that the two rules were quite novel, and the key was that they could indeed play a role in protecting the safety of the disciples. It is the same with any sect, the top level represents the current strength of the sect, and the disciples, especially the core disciples, represent the future of the sect, and it cannot be overstated.

In terms of the arrangement of the referees, there is basically no problem.

The elders looked at each other and quickly agreed.

There are many details below, most of which are the internal work of the organizing committee, and the participation of the elders is just to understand the inside situation and strengthen supervision.

Details that need to be discussed further include whether all the aids such as pills, talismans, utensils, formations, etc., are allowed in the match, and if so, are there any restrictions?

However, these are routine matters and will be involved in any game. In this preliminaries, because the level is not high, the problem is relatively simple.

The competition of a group of mid-to-high-level disciples of the Holy Rank is a restriction, and it is not allowed to use auxiliaries beyond the scope of the Holy Level, that is to say, those above the God level cannot appear on the arena. For example, if someone's protective gear reaches the god level, and the opponent's attack is difficult to break through, how can it be compared?

Therefore, it is relatively easy to discuss this aspect, and it is set that the maximum allowed use of those below the seventh order of the holy level is allowed. In fact, those auxiliary supplies, no matter which kind of Dan Weapon Talisman Array they were, were extremely expensive, and ordinary disciples couldn't afford them at all.

By the morning of the second day alone, everything had been agreed. Such high efficiency is mainly due to the well-prepared organizing committee. As for the organizing committee, of course, thanks to the comprehensive guidance of Tong Yinxin, it can be fully prepared.

After the meeting, everyone had a meal and a drink, and then in the afternoon the elders would gather the disciples to convey the spirit of the meeting, and most importantly, remember not to use too much force and kill people by mistake. In the past, there have been very few kills of opponents, but they have always given large compensation, and there is no precedent for disqualification.

The biggest goal of winning the tournament is to qualify for the Kingdom Tournament. Being directly disqualified for killing people is definitely not worth the loss.

In fact, Tong Yinxin's original intention was to hope that the Demon Source Sect would take a good start this time and establish a good competition style in the future preliminaries of Cuimu City, but no one believed it at the moment.

The Demon Source Sect acted vigorously and resolutely, and twenty rings were quickly set up. There was a large gap between them, and the eight or nine hundred disciples of the outer sect who did not have sect tasks all rushed to the arena, waiting to be assigned to be temporary referees.

There were more than 100 inner disciples, most of whom did not come, and more than a dozen people came to observe the competition, and these ten or so people were all at the beginning of the holy level, and the best among the inner disciples.

On the third day, the preliminaries officially began. For the specific arrangement of the competition, in the first step, the elders reported the level of their respective disciples and divided them into groups. The grouping method is to arrange all the disciples according to their strength, and roughly divide them into two large groups evenly.

Although Tong Yinxin is the lowest rank, he is actually the strongest, but no one else knows.

In the second step, the two groups are drawn separately. In the first round, No. 1 vs. No. 20, No. 2 vs. No. 19, No. 3 vs. No. 18......

The principle of a single round robin is that all opponents play against each other once, so that the total result is very small by chance. There are 190 matches in each group, and the whole preliminary round is 380 games, which seems like a lot, but each round has 20 matches at the same time, and in fact, all 19 rounds can be completed.

Each round is limited to one hour with a one-hour break in between, and you can play five rounds a day, for a total of four days.

In the knockout format, it only takes two rounds to determine the top 10 qualifiers, but the chance is a bit big, and the enthusiasm of the disciples to participate is problematic.

This latter issue has not been noticed and paid enough attention by various factions.

In fact, after the two rounds of elimination, some disciples were originally very good, and it stands to reason that they were enough to enter the top ten, but they were eliminated because they encountered stronger opponents in advance, while some disciples were not very strong, at most ten or twenty at most, but they were extremely lucky, and finally won the place......

In this way, every time the qualifiers are selected, the strength of the teams of each faction is discounted by themselves, and it is normal for the competition to be less competitive in the first place, and the results have become worse and worse in recent years. And those who should have won the quota may suffer an unexpected setback, which may further affect their progress......

Tong Yinxin's ideas are really for the sake of the future of the various factions in this department, hoping to form a good, positive and benign competition atmosphere among the core disciples of several factions.

The referee system of this preliminaries is of far-reaching significance. It is divided into two situations: direct decision and indirect decision, combined with the two core rules of strictly prohibiting killing the opponent and prohibiting malicious serious injury to the opponent, so that the normal order of the game can be maintained to a great extent.

None of this can be done at the Kingdom Tournament. In theory, it could have been, but in practice it was not.

In Cuimu City, these eight small sects, although they have some minor contradictions, are only trivial. At the kingdom level, there are too many sects involved, and there are too many aspects of interests; On the contrary, here in Cuimu City, there is a little meaning that there are fewer monks and more porridge.

Everything is ready, and the preliminaries of the various factions in Emerald Wood City are about to officially begin.

There were so many outer disciples who came that they enthusiastically demanded that additional temporary referees be appointed, and that the number of people in each ring should be changed from three to six. After careful consideration, the organizing committee politely rejected the disciples' request. If it's just three people, pay attention, it's easy to prevent accidental injury from the aftermath, but it's much more difficult for six people.

The enthusiasm of the disciples was still the same, and those who did not have the opportunity to observe it nearby had to watch from a distance of thirty meters. They were all master-level cultivators, and they had to watch the competitions of the middle and high-level "masters" of the holy level, but in fact, there were many places that they couldn't understand very clearly.

If it was those inner disciples who came to watch, it was just right.

Including the master of the stone hall, eight elders from each faction sat on their seats on the rostrum and tasted tea comfortably. It was the first time that everyone had watched the game so leisurely.

There are 19 rounds in total, and each game is no longer particularly urgent, just look at the winners and losers, and the results will not be known until the third or fourth day.

They were very surprised to find that these disciples were all so energetic? The eight people are very strange, those who are strong are nothing, and those who have no hope at all are like that?

Twenty rings, the game starts at the same time. The elders chatted casually, sipped tea, ate snacks and fruits, and watched the game from time to time.

Soon everyone didn't calm down, I'll go, what's wrong with these boys? Why does it seem that the level has suddenly improved?

Everyone quickly became focused, and they were no longer very casual. After looking at it for a long time, I realized that it was, a lot of people, uh no, almost all of them, all of them played very well.

Yesterday afternoon, everyone really mobilized the disciples, asking them to work hard to compete and strive for the right to qualify; even if they can't get the right to qualify, they must compete seriously, and the future hopes of the sect are pinned on them......

These are all rotten clichés, it doesn't make sense that only this time it will work like this??

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I can't figure out my head for a while.

It's not that their strength has suddenly improved, but that all of them have fully exerted themselves without exception, as if their strength has increased by one order.

It is no exaggeration to say that if this is the case in the past, there should be someone who can break through the first round of the Kingdom Tournament Playoffs!

"Why is the fighting spirit so strong?" said to the stone hall master with a confused face, and said to himself in surprise.

Yes, the others suddenly realized, yes, yes, the fighting spirit is too strong, how did you get it?
