Chapter 70, Qualifiers
If the elders had the impression that the disciples were usually only sixty percent of their fighting spirit, now they showed that they were all eight or nine percent of their fighting spirit, and some of them even reached or even exceeded ten percent!
A few people were puzzled. They ignore that no matter what people do, they have to pursue profits, they have to have motivation, and they have to be motivated.
It's the same with the qualifiers they don't really care about. Previously, the single-elimination system had been adopted, and only a few people had a particularly strong fighting spirit, and most of the disciples felt that they had little hope, and their motivation was naturally insufficient.
And in the face of the new format, everyone is motivated. Most of the people who are not strong enough to have no goals have now found new goals. That is, look at how many of the nineteen rounds you can win?
In the original knockout round, most people were eliminated after losing a game, and it was difficult to know what level they were at. This time it's very different, nineteen rounds, no matter how bad it is, it must be finished one by one.
In addition, the rules are so humane, everyone does not have to worry too much about life and death, of course they will be willing to go all out, and they all have the desire for miracles, and no one is willing to do the worst. This subtle change was unexpected even by Tong Yinxin, he just felt that they generally lacked experience, and he intended to let everyone have more than a few games.
Twenty games, most of them were very intense, and the disciples tried their best. There were only a few games, and due to the large difference in strength between the two sides, it ended in less than two or three minutes. The elders couldn't sit still, and they wanted to hurry up and ask in person, why were they so passionate all of a sudden?
The elders were all around 100 years old, and they were all at the high level of the saint level, and Elder Wang was even just in his early 100s before he successfully broke through to the god level, and they were all considered successful middle-aged people. Calling themselves old guys is just a habit, and it is also a bad habit of mortal psychology.
Based on the two-hundred-year-old lifespan of saint-level cultivators, they are all at least the eighth order of the saint-level, and if nothing else, at least they can successfully break through to the god level. The difference is that Elder Wang is not just one step ahead, the lower limit of the person should be the subordinate god level of a cultivator.
As for the others, it is likely that the upper limit is limited to the god level, and the gap between them is too large.
And these disciples, who are generally in their fifties, are mid-level saints, and it is normal for them to be regarded as semi-adults.
However, the elders' side knocks have basically failed to solve the questions that have been solved. The disciples generally didn't realize that they had exerted their strength beyond the level. There are only a very few very sensitive disciples who perceive that they are in good shape, but they do not know what the specific reason is.
The game was completely different from the past, and everyone clearly felt that the opponent in every game was not easy to deal with, and unless the strength was overwhelming, it was necessary to be conscientious, and there have been several cases of capsizing in the gutter......
With these big upsets, the leading players have also become particularly cautious, and they have become more and more steady.
A direct decision to win is also a victory, 1 point is awarded, and a win based on points is also a victory, so why take unnecessary risks?
There are small details about the points point win. If one side has a net lead of more than 5 points, the other team is allowed to voluntarily concede. Of course, with a net 10 points behind, you also have the right to refuse to admit defeat and fight to the death. However, the organizing committee clearly declared that it opposes this kind of desperate struggle that is not responsible for others and oneself!
In this case, his opponent is allowed not to be held responsible for maliciously seriously injuring the opponent, and on the contrary, if the person who actively works hard is lucky enough to maliciously seriously injure the opponent, he will definitely suffer a heavy punishment, and the possibility of disqualification cannot be ruled out.
This supplementary provision is also very important, because it blocks almost all attempts and possibilities to exploit loopholes.
On the first day of the game, there were as many as a dozen upsets. Most of them are one order worse than the strong, and they are all won by a narrow point advantage.
The biggest upset was created by Tong Yinxin. He was a mere first-order saint-level, and he had won five consecutive victories, and all of them were complete victories!
The elders were all shocked and inexplicable, and they surrounded the stone hall master one after another, asking, is he your biggest secret weapon?
The stone hall master was very calm, and smiled without answering. Everyone is a little unbalanced, but there are really hidden hole cards? No wonder you suddenly have confidence?
People have noticed that this copper silver xin, strong power, and very fast, is an excellent martial arts cultivation seedling;
The stone hall master didn't care about the envy, jealousy and hatred of those people at all, he had been secretly observing Elder Wang. Elder Wang was none other than the person in charge of the Cuimu Sect who had recruited disciples in Cuimu City three years ago! In other words, it was he who scolded Tong Yinxin for the Stone Hall Master to pick up this "big bargain"!
Elder Wang was very busy, he was busy instructing his disciples, and he didn't have time to pay attention to any copper and silver xin. It stands to reason that the stone hall master should not be much easier than him, but the stone hall master has already seen this matter at this moment.
He was also instructing the eight disciples, but his emotions did not fluctuate, and even the eagle seven eagle eight had already lost two games, and he didn't seem to mind; There are also two people who have already lost a game, and they are uneasy.
As if nothing had happened, he encouraged them not to carry unnecessary psychological baggage, and everyone should follow the principle that as long as they play their own strength normally in every game, they should not care too much about winning or losing.
The eight disciples were completely blinded, and they were very suspicious, what happened to this stone hall master in front of them? Could it be that another person was pretending?
There is no half a sentence of reproach, but it is so relieved to everyone, no matter how you look at it, it is not right.
Their strange looks, the stone hall master had a full view, very funny, but there was no way to explain it. Do you tell these uncompetitive children that he doesn't have too many extravagant hopes this time? Or will he be satisfied with two of them? Forget it, they will be able to figure out whatever they want.
Elder Wang's workload this time was much higher than the previous ones. Originally, it was just to keep an eye on the ten disciples in each round, taking turns to pay attention to their battle situation, so that they could give guidance when they came down. Each of those rounds lasted up to 20 minutes, making a total of two rounds.
In fact, it was only the first round that was more tiring, and in the second round of the competition, four or five of the disciples were eliminated, which was much easier.
This time it was very different, no one could have imagined that the Demon Source Sect would suddenly come up with this group round-robin match, and it really made him choke with five rounds of competition all day! Rao is that his mental power is very strong, and he is also a little unbearable.
In addition, in every round of the competition, most of his disciples are not easy. All the opponents seemed to have been beaten with blood! So much so that the ten high-ranking disciples of the Cuimu Sect had won forty-seven victories, and only three of them had lost one game each in the fifth round, but they did not have any joy.
It's hard to fight, I'm afraid I'm in big trouble this time! Elder Wang's expression was the most grim. He knew that his disciples had performed well so far, and that there were not many faults to blame, and that he would definitely praise them before they did so. But this time, the situation is unusual.
He was very skeptical that the other factions had secretly formed an alliance and wanted to join forces to snipe at the various disciples of the Cuimu Sect at all costs.
He was very anxious. Not only is it not enough to count on ten places, but if you can't get it, you won't even be able to guarantee half of it! In that case, he will really be completely planted and have no shame to see the high-level members of the sect. Too careless, too light on the enemy, never expected that the Demon Source Sect would be so vicious and shameless!
He was thinking nonsense there, and the other elders didn't have so much time to waste, and they were all busy guiding their own disciples. Even if it is usually very dissatisfied, and there is no way to bring the "drag oil bottle", this time they get a lot of satisfaction, praise without mouth, and fight greatly.
To tell you the truth, we're not afraid of losing. Isn't it normal for you to lose a game against a fourth-order against a fifth-and-sixth? What you are afraid of is losing without any fighting spirit and without the slightest resistance.
This competition, the most common thing in the past, is the kind of competition that is clear and weak, and people have no desire to watch. Ninety-nine percent of the matches are like this, all of which are won by those who are one level higher (or higher) in the realm, and there are almost no twists and turns, fluctuations, let alone repetition.
Most of the matches end quickly, basically within five or ten minutes, and in the second round of eliminations, it is possible to see some more competitive matches that last more than 10 minutes. Refereeing is easy and not easy, and the difficulty lies in the fact that you must be careful not to wander casually.
This time, I didn't have to worry about a few elders, so I specially invited them to rest on the rostrum. But as soon as the competition began, everyone quickly came down, and they were all busy, taking turns to watch their disciples' competitions. I didn't dare to blink my eyes, for fear of missing the highlights of my disciple.
Speaking of which, Elder Yu is the happiest, he only has one disciple, and only he can easily only target one disciple.
However, why is there such a sentence as "people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants"? Not long after, he began to envy others again, everyone has several disciples, and they need to be carefully watched, and he is the only one who is the commander of the light pole!
On the second day of the competition, the Cuimu Sect still ranked first overall, however, Elder Wang's face was even darker, they had already lost a total of ten games, and there were still several games that were narrowly won by points! Crisis, unprecedented crisis, was imminent.
On the third day, he finally found Tong Yinxin. No one told him that the key was that Tong Yinxin had already defeated four of their Cuimu Sect disciples in a row, and each of them was very crisp, all of them were knocked down, and they were knocked out of the ring, without dispute.
At the end of the fourth day of the competition, the Cuimu faction unexpectedly won the first place overall, grabbing four qualifying places, followed by the Demon Source faction, with three qualifying places. The remaining three places were obtained by the three sects.
