Chapter 42: Knockout (2nd Update)
When the sun breaks through the clouds, the day of the annual inner door examination is announced, and this test officially begins.
"This year, I am presiding over this year's internal door assessment test!"
Nie Qingqing stood up from the referee's seat, swept the audience with his eyebrows, and said loudly.
Under the increase of spiritual power, the sound of Jiao spread far away.
"The annual internal door assessment test, presumably all of you should have some understanding, so I won't repeat it!"
"The inner door assessment test has officially begun!"
"In the first level, the outer disciples compete with each other until the top 30 are separated, and the first level assessment is officially over!"
The voice fell, and for a while, many outer disciples looked at each other, all of them look at me, I look at you, that look, obviously, many people are very nervous.
"There are a total of 1,504 bamboo slips here, but whoever draws adjacent numbers will be in a group, so as to compete!" Nie Qingqing smiled slightly and said.
Soon, more than 1,500 outer disciples went to the referee's seat and drew a piece of bamboo slip.
After seeing that everyone had obtained a piece of bamboo slips, Nie Qingqing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Please draw the junior disciples from No. 1 to No. 200 to come to the stage to compete!"
"By the way, the reward for the first place in this year's inner door assessment is very generous!"
Nie Qingqing smiled whimsily, and then sat down.
After that, the first round of the competition began quickly.
On the sixth platform, Duan Chen stood with a sword.
He drew a bamboo slip marked with the number "eleven", and according to the regulations, Duan Chen had to compete with No. 12 on the No. 6 competition platform.
And at this moment, on Duan Chen's side, there was also an obese figure, standing facing Duan Chen.
It was an obese young man, with a fat head and big ears, and he looked like a brute bear.
However, at this moment, the young man's fat face was full of jealousy, and his gaze when he looked at Duan Chen was full of hesitation.
After a moment, the young man smiled bitterly, "That... Brother Duan Chen, can you put down the water, can you not slap your face..."
"Uh......"
Duan Chen's head is full of black lines, is he so terrifying? Is it necessary to see himself, just like seeing a flood beast?
Seeing that Duan Chen didn't speak, the young man was stunned, thinking that Duan Chen refused to release the water, and immediately, his face changed, and he said bitterly: "Brother Duan Chen, I admit defeat..."
......Seeing this, Duan Chen had to grin helplessly and remain silent.
"No. 6 Doutai, No. 11, Duan Chen, win!"
"What...?won so quickly?"
"Is there a mistake?"
"You're stupid, don't you know who that Duan Chen is?"
Hearing this, those outer disciples who had never participated in the competition were all stunned, and they didn't expect someone to end the battle so quickly.
But when they saw the handsome young man on the No. 6 competition platform, at this time, most of them suddenly came over.
For a while, a lot of news about Duan Chen was like a storm coming, and it kept coming out one after another.
"Duan Chen... Could it be that the fifth-ranked Yellow List master, Duan Chen?"
"Who else but him! These days, this guy can be said to have become famous! All the way to the rampage, all the way through the level, directly rushed to the fifth place transcendent ranking!"
"This matter has spread throughout the outer gate, who hasn't heard of him being such a pervert..."
"Not only that, it is said that this period of Chen seems to have never used real means, do you remember the battle for the princes' orders? Duan Chen has swept through the countless Tianjiao, like what kind of overstepping the level of battle, what kind of profound spiritual skills, what kind of thunder true meaning, you can see that you have used it?"
"I didn't expect it to be so hidden!"
Although Duan Chen has been immersed in cultivation with all his energy these days, he will also spare part of his time every day to go to the Huangbang Martial Arts Pavilion to fight and defend people.
Therefore, for many outer disciples, even, some inner disciples have heard of Duan Chen.
Because, in the outer gate, it is not that there is no one to stand and defend the champions, on the contrary, there are many people, but those people, either win one or two games, and then announce their withdrawal.
But Duan Chen is good, he will go to fight the defenders every day, and every day he goes, his cultivation will also increase a little.
Almost every day, there are defenders, or attackers are defeated by Duan Chen, so these days, Duan Chen's name can be described as the sky.
Because, Duan Chen defeated the top thirty defenders, according to the regulations, he will also take that place's position and become the defender, of course, he can also continue to challenge, so as to improve his ranking.
Therefore, for three months, he fought people almost every day.
Soon, the first round of the knockout round also ended.
Since these are the outer disciples of the Blood Pavilion, once they fight, they will be directly ruthless, so the first round of the hundred competitions will soon come to an end.
Subsequently, those outer disciples who did not participate in the competition also participated in the next few rounds of elimination.
In the end, those outer disciples all participated in the first wave of elimination, and as a result, more than seven hundred and fifty people stood out from them.
That doesn't mean it's over, though.
Because, the second wave of knockouts is also coming.
Then, after five waves of elimination, in the end, only forty-seven remained.
Among them, thirty of them are the top 30 defenders on the yellow list, and Duan Chen is naturally among them.
And the remaining seventeen people are all some outer disciples with good strength, among them, Yun Xuan is among them.
Although Duan Chen had been busy with his own cultivation and hadn't taken too much care of Yun Xuan, the former had greeted Nie Qingqing before his penance and asked this little girl to help Yun Xuan more, so he didn't fall behind too much in his own cultivation.
Of these seventeen, there was one man who was extremely concerned and discussed.
This person's name is Yang Jie, and his cultivation is extremely profound, and with Duan Chen's awareness, he can sense this person's cultivation.
The pinnacle level of the Spirit Realm.
With such strength, looking at the outer door, he can squeeze into the top three, but this person is extremely low-key and has never participated in a ring match.
Therefore, Duan Chen was a little surprised by this person, thinking that this person would become a dark horse, killing countless people, one was caught off guard, and at the same time, he would also be a strong contender for the first place.
After several waves of elimination, Nie Qingqing stood up again and announced:
"Because the number of outer disciples this year is somewhat different from the past, the remaining forty-seven people have all passed the first level of assessment. ”
"Of course, this doesn't mean it's over, because, after the knockout round, there is still a ranking match!"
"But all the disciples who can squeeze into the top ten can enter the blood essence pool to cultivate for three days, of course, you can also choose not to participate, and after becoming an inner disciple, you will also have a chance to enter the blood essence pool to cultivate, but the period is only one day. ”
Hearing this, among the forty-seven people who won, some of them had complicated faces and looked a little hesitant.
I don't blame them for this, because, in this ranking competition, those real masters will inevitably fight in order to win a good ranking.
In this way, if some people who are not as strong as others choose to participate, but in the end they lose, but if they are seriously injured or abolished, then it doesn't mean that they don't even have the opportunity to participate in the second assessment, so some people are still a little afraid.
If you can get benefits, it is naturally good, but if you end up with injuries all over your body, and the gains outweigh the losses, wouldn't it be a bit self-inflicted.
Seeing the change in the faces of these people, Nie Qingqing smiled and said, "If you are a disciple participating in the ranking competition, then take three steps forward!"
In the end, after thinking about it, a large number of people still chose to participate, and the people who gave up were only five people.
Obviously, the temptation of the blood essence pool to them is still extremely great.
After all, being able to cultivate in the Blood Essence Pool was something that countless people dreamed of.
It can not only increase strength, but also temper the bones in the body, for them, how can they not be excited.
