Text Chapter 178 The round-robin begins
The top ten are produced, and the day's competition is over, and they each meditate and rest in place, because martial artists who have reached the innate realm or above, even if they don't sleep for most of the year, there is no problem, as long as there is enough innate true qi to replenish, so there is no problem.
On the second day, the 11th to 20th place guarding tournament began, and most of these disciples were contestants from the previous session, and their strength was very strong, and they all successfully defended and successfully advanced.
On the third day, it was the 21st to 30th place guarding match, and there was a bit of an accident in the game during this period, the disciple ranked 26th was challenged and defeated by a disciple ranked 78th.
The twenty-sixth disciple who was defeated was a disciple of the Jade Sword Sect, and his strength was very strong, he was ranked twenty-ninth in the last session, and he improved three places in this session, but he was still defeated.
The disciple who successfully challenged was from the Star Sword Sect in the One Hundred and Eight Sword Sect, and his ranking was also considered to be the upper reaches of the Sword Sect, but there was no particularly outstanding disciple, but this disciple called Xiong Yeqiang made this Sword Sect famous.
Because Xiong Yeqiang's way of winning is very strong, almost relying on brute force, he forced the opponent out of the ring.
In the end, he also succeeded in defending the ring, becoming the first disciple to successfully kick and advance.
On the fourth day, there were still frequent situations, first Qi Junling, who was ranked thirty-first, was successfully challenged, because he was injured in the battle with Lu Hao, and his recovery in a few days still had an impact on his body, and he lost to a disciple who was ranked in his forties, and that disciple was not weak, he came from the Ethereal Sword Sect.
There was also a thirty-seventh-ranked disciple who was also successfully challenged by an eighty-sixth-ranked disciple.
On the fifth day, Murong Xue ranked forty-fifth, and this time it was her turn to appear, but she was successfully promoted without any exception.
......
The ten-day knockout rounds are over, and the final top 100 list is out.
The final ranking is not completely based on the ranking of the qualifying round, there are many disciples whose rankings have been adjusted, some have improved, some have decreased, and some have not reached the top 100 before, but they have successfully challenged in the challenge tournament and entered the top 100, of course, none of the 240 people who were eliminated have succeeded in the challenge, because the gap itself is very large, and such rules are just an example.
In the new top 100, there are also several topical figures, which have caused a lot of controversy, especially those disciples who performed average in the qualifying round, but they performed well in the knockout round and successfully challenged across names.
Xiong is also a strong one, this person is five big and three thick, but the kung fu is very delicate, good at grasping the flaws of others, and then breaking hard, his swordsmanship and sword moves are very contrasting with his people, biased towards feminine, weird, tricky.
Some people say that this person likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger the most, and often behaves very confused, making people think that he is weak, and then when everyone is surprised, he defeats the opponent with a strong attitude, it is said that he is very obsessed with this feeling, and he also enjoys this feeling very much, but usually, he is very low-key.
There is also a disciple named Li Donghuan, who comes from a small sect called the Happy Sword Sect, but this person also performed amazingly in the knockout round, and successfully challenged the thirty-seventh disciple with a score of eighty-six, you must know that in the Innate Sword List Competition, all of them are geniuses, and the worse the ranking, the greater the gap in each other's strength.
According to the person who called him, this person is very obsessed with swordsmanship, but he has no pursuit of victory or defeat, so when he fights, his mental state is sometimes good and bad, sometimes when he is in a good mood, swordsmanship can reach the realm of supernatural swordsmanship, and when he is in a bad mood, swordsmanship is as bad as a piece of shit, very unstable.
These two are the most favored, and it is said that these two are qualified to challenge the strength of the top ten, but in the end, it will depend on the performance of the round-robin.
......
On the eleventh day, the round-robin tournament officially begins. )
"Our top 100 places have been decided, but they are not yet the final list of our innate sword rankings, and we still need to go through a more brutal round of battles, this round of competition is called a round-robin match. ”
"The meaning of the round-robin competition is that everyone has to fight against the remaining ninety-nine people, and only those with superior strength can reach the top of the innate sword list. ”
"Our competition is divided into a total of 99 rounds, the first round is from the first place to the hundredth place, the second place is against the 99th place, and so on, the second round is from the first place to the 99th place, the second place is to the 98th place, and so on, until the 99th round, all the opponents have fought once, and the final winner will reach the top of the Innate Sword Leaderboard. ”
"But even if they don't reach the top, everyone has the opportunity to leave their name on the Innate Sword List and get their own title. ”
"Every day we will have ten rounds of matches, that is, 500 matches, this is a duel between the youngest and most talented people in Qingzhou, I believe we will not disappoint everyone. ”
"Next, I announce the official start of the round-robin competition of the Innate Sword Ranking Competition!"
There are a lot of round-robin tournaments, and there will be a total of 5,000 competitions, but in the first few rounds, for a master like Lu Hao, there is basically no pressure, and the good-looking competition lies in some disciples who are relatively close in ranking.
On the first day, in the first ten rounds, Lu Hao won very easily.
The next day, in the first twenty rounds, Lu Hao still advanced without pressure.
On the third day, in the first thirty rounds, Lu Hao won unexpectedly.
On the fourth day, forty rounds, Lu Hao Sanchengli successfully advanced.
On the fifth day, fifty rounds, Lu Hao used forty percent of his combat power to successfully advance.
On the sixth day, in the first sixty rounds, Lu Hao defeated all opponents with almost fifty percent of his combat strength.
On the seventh day, Lu Hao encountered a battle of focus.
His opponent is Li Donghuan, one of the two superstars who were previously favored.
Li Donghuan is a melancholy young man, his eyes are always full of decadence, and only when he holds a sword in his hand, he will shine with an amazing light, as if the sword is his life, and the sword is his everything.
His clothes are also very different, the sword robe is very wide, embroidered with plum blossoms, the style is feminine, with his melancholy temperament, the whole person gives people a different feeling.
The sword was already in Li Donghuan's hand, and the charm in his eyes was gradually converging.
"Your swordsmanship is very strong, I've seen your matches. Li Donghuan looked at Lu Hao and said lightly, "In my eyes, you are stronger than Huangfukong, Li Xiaoran and Ouyang Invincible, because you and I are the same kind of people, both of whom regard kendo as a lifelong pursuit, which can be seen from your swordsmanship and sword moves, while others just use swords as a tool for their battles, a means for them to pursue fame and fortune." ”
Lu Hao said with an undeniable smile: "Some things are difficult to say clearly, the goal and the process are sometimes the same, it depends on how you look at it, the ultimate in kendo is indeed one of the goals I pursue, but not all, I still have a lot of pursuits, and other pursuits may be achieved with the help of kendo, a person's life should include a lot of convenience, kendo is only one of them." ”
"No!" Li Donghuan shook his head and said: "I don't agree with your opinion, in my eyes, kendo is sacrosanct, it is the only one, it is also my only spiritual pursuit, I will dedicate my life to it, I have only one goal, that is, the ultimate of swordsmanship, alas! Originally, I thought that you and I were the same kind of people, it seems that there are still some differences between us." ”
The two had an inexplicable conversation, and the others expressed their incomprehension, but the powerful people had already seen that the real battle had begun, and this was a clash of consciousness and thought, and the clash of the two on their understanding of kendo.
But obviously, no one can convince anyone, and the two have their own opinions, so the only way is to fight it out!
Almost at the same time, the two of them played their swords at the same time and attacked each other, without any fluctuations in true qi, without any powerful swordsmanship and sword moves, without any artistic conception bonuses, both of them were very tacitly using the most ordinary and ordinary sword moves to attack and dismantle.
Although the sword moves of the two are ordinary and ordinary, they are extremely pleasing to the eye, the movements are extremely smooth, and the offense and defense reflect each other from afar, as if two powerful swordsmen are performing, not like they are fighting at all.
", I thought it was a dragon fight, how can I still fight like this?
"You don't understand this, they are not comparing superficial kung fu, but the competition of kendo thoughts, don't you see that their swordsmanship contains a special charm? This is the understanding and comprehension of kendo. ”
The competition between the two is gradually getting better, and the ordinary swordsmanship and sword moves have gradually begun to transform, becoming more and more ethereal, sometimes like meteors outside the sky, antelopes hanging horns, and imaginative moves emerge in endlessly, and the two seem to have a mysterious qi on their bodies, pulling each other and restraining each other.
Bite!
Suddenly, at a certain moment, the two sides competed again, and Li Donghuan was shocked by Lu Hao's sword power and retreated five steps in a row.
"Alas, I lost. Li Donghuan sighed and directly admitted defeat.
Lu Hao put away his sword and stood up, smiling silently.
"This time, it's true that I'm inferior to you, but I also found the reason why I'm not as good as you, it's not that my understanding of kendo is not as good as yours, it's not that I'm not in the right direction, but I ignore the essence of kendo, kendo should be sharp, invincible, I've been obsessed with kendo all these years, but I have ignored the essence of kendo and lack a confidence to win, and when I get back this confidence, I'll come back to you for advice. ”
As he spoke, the original decadent aura was swept away, and Li Donghuan's fighting spirit had been ignited in this competition, only the accumulation of time was needed, and I believe that soon, a new genius master will be born again.
The seventy rounds of competition were all over, and Lu Hao successfully advanced again.
