Young people with some skills like to be competitive, and even arrogant. This is the intrinsic reason why young people are constantly improving.

On the second day of school, a month-long "entrance exam" was held - the first and second flags were held under the auspices of the chief instructor Mei Yicai, and all the students were ranked individually.

Although Li Xiao does not like "any kind of competition" very much, he also hopes to get a good ranking. Striving for the top is a necessary quality for aspiring teenagers.

Qualifying is divided into six rounds, the first round of elimination, all the students face off in pairs, eliminate half of the students, and the winner advances to the second round of elimination.

The second round of eliminations also eliminated half of the students, and the winner advanced to the third round of elimination.

After the third round, 16 students will advance to the fourth round of elimination.

After the fourth round, there will be eight students who will enter the fifth round of the "Hirayama New Disciples Potential List" qualifying.

The fifth round of qualifying, also known as the "Potential Ranking Qualifier", is a rotational competition in which the eight winners compete in a single round-robin and face off against each other, each of whom is able to compete once with the other contestants, and finally the rankings are arranged according to the number of victories each contestant has won in all competitions. This kind of single-round robin competition is more fair and reasonable, and will not eliminate the middle and upper strength students first.

Li Xiao is very familiar with the method of competition, the number of winners in each round will become a series of equal differences with a tolerance of two, and the final competition is a permutation and combination of eight elements.

The sixth round is a challenge tournament in which previously eliminated apprentices challenge the eight apprentices on the "Hirayama Freshman Potential List". The winner gets the top eight places on the potential list, and the losers lose the top eight places on the potential list. If the original top eight disciples are replaced, they must be challenged again in order to regain their ranking.

The fifth round of qualifying is not the end, and the sixth round of the challenge can be extremely brutal.

Fighting is not Li Xiao's strong point. Together with Wu Xiaoze, Xiao Tie, Xie Que, roommate A and roommate B, the students of the Second Banner, followed the four chief instructors to the martial arts field in the center of Pingshan Academy.

The urban road between the original Shangbang Mansion and the Xiaonanmenfang City Inspection Division has been reconstructed and expanded, and has become a martial arts field.

There were not many students in the first class of Pingshan Academy, and the martial arts field was not very large.

The purpose of having a one-on-one match is to get a sense of the strength and potential of the apprentices. In addition to the eight chief instructors on the rostrum and the forty or fifty guard instructors on the martial arts field, the remaining several hundred security instructors sat on the stands next to the martial arts arena to watch the "performance."

"Start Your Show". Many of the escort instructors waited anxiously.

The biggest hobby of these guard instructors, who have nothing to do and train all day long, is martial arts competitions.

Mei Yicai sat on the rostrum with Lan You and several other chief instructors, chatting all the time, before the start of the qualifying competition, Lan You introduced Li Xiao's situation to everyone, and finally said: "Li Xiao, this kid can rush to the top eight of Pingshan's freshman potential list." ”

Mei You, the chief instructor of the first squad of the First Banner, listened to Lan You's almost boastful words, and said, "This student of the second squad of the second banner is so powerful, let's wait and see." ”

After the draw, Li Xiao played against an apprentice surnamed Zhang from the third team of the second banner, and this apprentice had an atmospheric name named Zhang Hai.

There were a total of ninety-three disciples in the first and second banners, and every two disciples were divided into groups, making a total of forty-six groups of more than one person. The remaining one was a sick little girl who voluntarily gave up qualifying.

The arena is not very large, and only 16 groups can be arranged to compete in the arena at the same time. Each group has a guard instructor who acts as a referee.

The rules of the game are unarmed attacks, unarmed attacks cannot hit fatal points, if you use a weapon, you must inform the opponent and the referee before the match, and you must not cause damage. In order to ensure the safety of the students, the referee has the duty to intervene in the game in a timely manner.

The first round of eliminations features forty-six duos in three matches.

In the first sixteen groups, thirty-two students were beaten extremely ugly because they had barely received any training before entering the school. The sixteen people who won advanced to the second round.

In the sixteen groups in the middle, there is a match between Wu Xiaoze and another female apprentice, and there is Mei 〇, who is more familiar to Li Xiao, and Mei 〇 against roommate A who shares the dormitory with Li Xiao.

I saw that after Mei Yu hugged his roommate A, his left palm and right fist were directly swung, and the palm and fist hit roommate A's chest, and this blow alone beat roommate A to vomit blood and fall to the ground.

Li Xiao never expected that the apprentice named Mei 〇 would shoot so heavily and so ferociously. When he saw that his roommate had fainted, he wanted to go to the martial arts field to check the injury, but was stopped by Xie Que beside him, "Don't go up, there is an instructor to deal with it." ”

The referee next to Mei Yu was a guard instructor with a sense of justice, and when he saw that Mei Yu had injured the apprentice, he couldn't help frowning, and wanted to speak, but he didn't say it. The nephew of the owner of Meishan Villa, he said it in vain. He pointed to Mei 〇 with his hand to the rostrum and the audience platform, and said, "He won." Then he picked up the wounded apprentice and stepped out of the arena to see the wounds.

His roommate Xie Que had just participated in the knockout round of the first sixteen groups, and he was extremely excited to win, and he smiled at Li: "Senior Brother Li, don't you know? ”

"What?" Li Xiao was taken aback, "How do you know that he is a first-order qi refiner?"

"The senior brother who shared the dormitory with him said, and the senior brother said that Senior Brother Mei had a grading certificate issued by Yuanyang Academy. ”

Li smiled and said, "To become a first-order qi refiner, you still need a rank certificate?"

"yes. ”

At the graduate level, you must have the corresponding "graduation certificate" and "degree certificate"? Li Xiaoxin said: What level of qi refiner am I now?

"Look, Senior Brother Zhang Zhizhe is playing against 'Senior Sister Crazy Mouse'. Xie Que pulled Li Xiao's arm and said.

Zhang Zhizhe is the flag commander of the Second Banner, he was originally a student of Yuanyang Academy, and he is the nephew of Yifeng, the Yuanyang City Merchant Gang, who has eaten high-grade pills since he was a child to assist in qi refining, and is already a first-order realm of qi refiner. The chosen one.

After Zhou Dongcang requisitioned the mansion of the merchant gang and the inspection department of Xiaonanmenfang City as the teaching venue of Pingshan Academy, Zhang Zhizhe enrolled in the nearest school and became a big disciple of Pingshan Academy.

Zhang Zhizhe's opponent is a girl in gray clothes, the girl is dressed in shabby, there are several patches, she is very slender, the front chest and back buttocks are very small, the most distinctive thing is that her face is very similar to a mouse face, and she has a short-tempered crazy tailless mouse, so she has the nickname of "mad rat sister".

The days of the apprentices are not very long, and her real name is not known to many people, but the nickname of "Sister Crazy Rat" is known by most people.

Li Xiao looked at the "Mad Mouse Sister", remembered the costumes and clothes of Pingjun, Fang Ya, green tea and black tea, and said in his heart: It's still a rich family's daughter dressed up in a show. Ping Jun and Fang Ya are in Yuanyang Academy, are they also having a qualifying match? I don't know if the black tea is doing well?

was thinking wildly, Zhang Zhizhe hit his chest with both hands and defeated the "mad rat sister".

"Mad Rat Sister" clutched her chest, full of shame and anger, glaring angrily, and angry in her chest.

Under the martial arts arena, there was a sigh and scolding, Zhang Zhizhe clasped his hands with each other, triumphant, and disagreed.

Li Xiao was furious, Senior Brother Zhang, who was usually so humble and polite, made such a deplorable and dirty move. Isn't that a "milking dragon clawman"?
