Because this time the ranked match has become a team battle, many of the rules have changed compared to the previous ones.

It's said to be a team battle, but it's actually an individual competition, but the final victory of the team battle is won by the sect with the most individual wins.

To put it simply, there is one person on each side of the battle, and the order of appearance is determined by the sect, one by one, the losing side gets a defeat, and the winning side gets a win, and each person is not limited to the number of battles.

In other words, as long as one person is strong enough, it is completely possible to save the strength of the rest of the team members with one against five.

But after all, it is a continuous battle, and no matter how strong an individual is, it is impossible for one person to pick all the other teams, so this is still a good way to avoid a sect that devotes all its resources to cultivating only one person.

Therefore, this duel method can be regarded as giving a chance to sects with less than five people such as the Forging Heaven Sect and the Great Sun Sect, although it is still five to one, five to three, but it avoids the situation of being directly beaten, at least to take a breath.

At the end of the draw, the fourteen teams were divided into two zones, Zone A and Zone B.

The rules this time are almost the same as the group stage that Ye Luo knew, with fourteen teams divided into two groups of seven teams each.

Seven teams take turns to face each other, but the points are related to each game, so each team must play five games, with one win worth two points and one defeat worth one point, and there are no draws.

Therefore, this format is even more brutal for teams with fewer people.

If the points are calculated based on the overall situation of the group, for example, the whole team will only have a win, then Ye Luo still has some chance of winning, after all, three wins in five games, as long as you win the first three games, you can win the big score of the team competition, and the advantage of numbers is not so obvious.

But now the calculation of points based on individual wins and losses directly excludes this possibility.

The two groups of promotion rounds will be held at the same time, each team will play six games, and the end of the six games will be based on the number of points of each team, and each group will take the top four and enter the next round of knockout rounds.

The six teams that did not advance in the group stage will not play any games, and the six teams will directly take the top two according to the points of the group stage, which are the ninth and tenth places in the ten competitions.

Therefore, each team in this group stage will try to win as many points as possible, after all, it is at stake for the ninth and tenth places.

If there are the same number of points in the ninth and tenth places, an extra game will be played to determine the final standings.

As for the eight sects that have been promoted, continue to draw lots, one by one, the winner enters the top four, and the limb team that fails to advance is the same as the four teams that have been promoted, and they still need to continue to play, catch and fight, and decide the ranking of five, six, seven, and eight.

Therefore, this knockout round is not only about strength, but also about luck.

If the Heavenly Sect, which ranked first last year, and the Sword Sect, which ranked second, met directly when they entered the eight, the losing one would also have to accept their fate, and they would directly miss the top four, so they could only continue to fight for the ranking of five, six, seven, and eight.

However, fortunately, the ten major competitions also take this situation into account, and after all ten seats are decided, each team has a chance to challenge the upper sect and win or lose.

Winning, exchanging rankings, and losing, not only can you not be promoted, but you can't even keep your own ranking, and you will directly drop one place, which is also to avoid the endless indiscriminate challenges of those lower sects.

If you don't succeed in the challenge, it is not only the ranking that will fall, but also the share of the cultivation resources in the next ten years, so if you want to challenge, you have to weigh it clearly.

After the teams finished drawing lots, the Tianzong elders on the competition platform had almost finished explaining the specific rules of the competition.

At this moment, Ye Luo had also returned to the team of the Heaven Forging Sect.

After drawing lots, Xu Ban walked towards Ye Luo and He Jun with a wry smile.

"Luckily, we only have one sect in Group A, but it is the Heavenly Sect. After Xu Ban finished speaking, he handed the sign to Ye Luo.

"We only need to finish in the top four, but our situation is still not optimistic. ”

Ye Luo looked at Xu Ban's worried appearance and asked puzzledly, "Senior brother, why do you say that?"

Xu Ban smiled bitterly again, and hurriedly explained to Ye Luo:

"Let's not talk about the three teams that only make up for the six sects, the Shaking Mountain Sect and the Wind Pole Sect are all old ten strong teams, and the ranking of the ten sects has been stable for a hundred years, so the Heavenly Sect, the Shaking Mountain Sect, and the Wind Extreme Sect should firmly win the top three positions in the group stage. ”

"Besides, the three cases are made up, and the Jushi Gate is decent, but it has never fallen out of the six cases in the past hundred years, and almost every time the ten cases are compared, they will come to participate. ”

"But even more tricky are the Holy Confucian Gate and the Shadow Gate!"

"The Shadow Gate directly killed the Imperial Beast Sect that was only weak to us, although it occupied the conditions of the environment, but the strength would not be too bad, not to mention ••••••" After Xu Ban finished speaking, he paused slightly, and his face became even more complicated.

Ye Luo naturally knew what Xu Ban was going to say, not to mention that there were only three people left in his team, which meant that he and Xu Ban had to fight at least twice, and they had two battles in a row, and the consumption of spiritual power and physical strength was not a joke.

What's more, there is still one case after playing, and today is a day to end the group stage directly.

When it comes to the number of people, it will naturally make the three of them think of the dead girl, and Ye Luo doesn't want to add senseless sadness to his team, so he tries his best to take over the conversation:

"Then Senior Brother Saint Confucianism is also very powerful?"

Ye Luo looked at the five young men dressed as Confucian students not far away, and asked with a puzzled expression.

Whoever looks at those five skinny and weak teaching gentlemen will not be very powerful characters.

After Ye Luo finished speaking, Xu Ban smiled bitterly again, "Senior brother, don't underestimate them, I inquired before, in the selection of the six sects in the back, they only lost two games and ranked third!"

After Xu Ban finished speaking, Ye Luo was immediately surprised, and glanced at the five Confucian scholars who were shaking their heads and endorsing again, Ye Cheng didn't expect them to be so fierce.

Ye Luo also knows some of the rankings of the six sects in the back, and in the ranking of the six sects in the back, Tianyin Temple is even one position ahead of the Four Elephant Sect led by Liu Sexin, and the two sects are in the first and second places respectively.

Tianyin Temple dominates a continent, it is said that it originally had the strength of the three sects, but it has never sent people to participate in the ten sects competition before, and this time it suddenly appeared, and it will be a blockbuster if you think about it.

Just looking at Shentu Zhantian, who can fight hard with the strongest three of the ten sects last year, you know that Tianyin Temple will definitely not be much weaker than the previous three sects.

And Liu Sexin is a real person from the Demon Sect, and the gray flames of Qinglong Xuanwu and the other four are very weird, and they can suppress them, which shows the horror of Tianyin Temple.

Therefore, the Holy Confucian Sect, which is only weaker than them, is not weak in means, and should have the strength to enter the Ten Sects.

Xu Ban looked at Ye Luo's look of disbelief, and continued to remind:

"It is said that the path of Confucianism and Taoism has been broken for tens of thousands of years, and the Haoran Qi cultivated by Confucianism and Taoism ten thousand years ago seems to be different from the spiritual power we cultivated, which made the demons suffer a lot, so the demons directly killed Confucianism quickly. ”

"I thought that ten thousand years had passed, and the Confucian sect had broken off the inheritance, but I didn't expect that the secular dynasty would continue the road of Confucianism. ”

"The grandeur of Confucianism should be rarely seen, so we must be extra careful. Xu Ban instructed the two.

"And the Shadow Gate, although they are better at concealing assassination, they are not superior in this competition of open swords and guns, but their methods are vicious and cruel, and they believe in killing with one blow, we must be careful!"

"These ten Dabi have the rules of life and death, we must be very careful when fighting the Shadows, in case we feel defeated, we will directly abstain. After Xu Ban finished speaking, his eyes darkened, and after a long pause, he finally spoke:

"We can't ••••• be any less!"

After saying this, the atmosphere of the three of them became silent again.

Ye Luo sighed secretly in his heart, and glanced at the sound transmission jade slip left by Old Man Jin again, but the jade slip still did not move, obviously there was no news yet.

There are people here, and I am afraid that there will be more casualties in the Forging Heaven Sect at this moment, and even my master Zhu Yan, my junior sister Kong Wu, and a group of senior brothers are in an even more dangerous situation.

But these things, Ye Luo naturally couldn't say anything about the two of them, so he could only wait for the news from Yu Jian.

"This time, we have to at least keep the seats of the Ten Sects!" Ye Luo's eyes suddenly became resolute.

"If I could, I'd like to go further!"

After Ye Luo finished speaking, although his momentum was restrained, Xu Ban still felt a killing aura on Ye Luo's body, which made people feel cold.

"Senior brother, the next game depends on you!" Xu Ban patted Ye Luo's shoulder heavily.

Unconsciously, the strength of his junior brother was far above him, and the individual strength of a single round had already had the strength to wrestle with the top five monsters of the Ten Sects.

"Work together!" Ye Luoyou looked at Xu Ban and He Jun and nodded heavily.

Fight or fight, not only for a few people in the vein, but also for yourself!

If you don't fight hard at this moment, then finding the time for September by yourself may be delayed by ten years, after all, with the network of Tianzong, it should be easy to inquire about the whereabouts of September.

Just as the fighting spirit of the three of them was slowing down, suddenly a burst of angry voices came again: "The two groups of A and B quickly entered their respective competition venues, continued to draw lots, and prepared for the competition!"

As soon as the sound fell, the sects immediately rushed to their respective districts and prepared to continue the draw.

The seven sects in Group A are the Heavenly Sect, the Shaking Mountain Sect, the Wind Pole Sect, the Forging Heaven Sect, the Holy Confucian Sect, the Shadow Sect, and the Giant Stone Gate.

Group B has seven sects, Sword Sect, Dao Sect, Purple Thunder Sect, Tianyin Temple, Hanshui Sect, Dari Sect, and Baicaomen.

Ye Luo's Group A has already entered the hall and has been drawn.

Draw numbers one to seven, start from the trumpet to the large trumpet in turn, win two points, lose one point, and rest for an hour at the end of each round of competition, so as to have enough time to breathe, and there will be no serious loss of strength due to continuous games.

Ye Luo looked at the No. 6 sign in his hand, still a little disappointed.

After all, there are seven teams, although there will be a bye for each round of competition, but if you play from trumpet to large according to the rules, then No. 7 must have a bye in the first round, and the team that has already played one game in the second round must have a better chance of winning.

Shaking Mountain Sect No. 1, Wind Pole Sect No. 2, Shadow Gate No. 3, Holy Confucian Gate No. 4, Jushi Gate No. 5, Forging Heaven Sect No. 6, and Tianzong No. 7, not only is it strong, but it is also a good luck against the sky.
