It wasn't until more than 10 o'clock in the evening that the opening ceremony ended, and the contestants dragged their tired bodies back to the dormitory.

Tomorrow at 2 p.m., the competition will officially start, and the first will be the team competition.

According to the regulations, in the last national martial arts, the top four counties in the team competition will be seeded, and they do not need to play in the group stage and directly advance to the round of 16.

Although the scale of this national debate is much larger, the number of regions that have signed up has not changed, and there are still 26 counties and two cities, in fact, each session is 26 counties and two cities, but the number of people will fluctuate.

The top four regions of the last team competition were Jinju City, Yonghae-gun, Yeusang-gun and Shao Moo-seong, which will directly advance to the round of 16, while the remaining 24 counties will be divided into six groups of four teams each.

The four teams in each group play a single round-robin match, with each team playing one game against the other three teams, with three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss.

After the end of the competition, the top two teams in each group will enter the round of 16, and the remaining two teams will be eliminated directly.

In the round of 16, there will be some changes to the format, with 16 teams facing each other in pairs, with the winner advancing to the quarterfinals and the loser going through a single round-robin qualifying round.

Each team has to play one game against the other seven teams in the qualifying round, the points rules are the same as the group stage, and the 16th to 9th places are ranked after the game, and the qualifying round is not played in one day, but one game per day, and there is a rest day in between, so the number of games seems to be a lot, but the schedule is not intensive.

It's the same when it's 8 into 4, the winning team goes to the semi-finals, while the losing team plays a single round-robin qualifying match and finishes 8-5 places.

4 into 2 in the same way, the winner enters the final to compete for the championship and runner-up, and the loser competes for the third or fourth place, that is, the third place and the third place.

In the individual competition, the same rules apply, after 16 into 8 plays, the 16-9 ranking qualifying match will begin, and after the 8-4 fight, the 8-5 ranking match will begin.

All competitions are played once a day, which is arranged to ensure that the players have enough stamina, as some players compete in both team and individual competitions.

For Yan Lingyu, he has to play two games a day, one team and one individual, but it will be much better after the round of 16, from the round of 16, only one type of competition will be held a day, and only one round will be played.

After returning to the room, Yan Lingyu went to take a shower first, and then lay on the bed in a crawling style, Huaiqingjun was in Group D, and the strength of this group was relatively average, so he didn't take this matter to heart.

After watching the video for a while, Yan Lingyu fell asleep deeply, and in his dream, he saw Ling Shuang's small waist again.

......

"Knock knock, knock knock. ”

"Who's knocking on the door early in the morning. ”

In the early morning of the next day, Yan Lingyu was still lying in the bed and sleeping lazily, but a quick knock on the door woke him up.

"Who, you're sick, knock on the door early in the morning, the game just starts in the afternoon, you don't sleep and let others sleep for a while, I'm very angry when I get up, and I can't control the anger in my heart after a while, I will split you." ”

Yan Lingyu struggled to get up from the bed, he spat fragrant words, rubbed his eyes and went to open the door.

"Who, knocking you early in the morning...... You, you, hello, Cen Xue. ”

"You haven't gotten up yet, so I'll come back later. ”

"Ah, no, no, I'm up, I've gotten up a long time ago, what's the matter with you. ”

"The competition is about to start in the afternoon, since you have decided to participate in the team competition, then you have to take it seriously, let's go to the martial arts arena to practice moves, I don't know what your fighting style is yet, it's good to get to know each other." ”

"Oh, okay, okay, you wait a minute, just a minute, I'll be right away. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yan Lingyu disappeared for a moment.

A moment later, he came out in a handsome outfit and looked like he had washed his hair.

After closing the door, the two went downstairs together.

As she walked, Yan Lingyu spoke: "Isn't the martial arts arena over there, we seem to have gone in the wrong direction." ”

"I know that the martial arts arena is over there, so go to the canteen to eat something first, where can I get the strength to practice martial arts without eating. ”

"Oh. Yan Lingyu nodded.

"Cen Xue's style is a bit like Master, and when I was cultivating in the back mountain, she also brought me breakfast every day. Yan Lingyu said secretly.

The two walked into the dining hall side by side, and Cen Xue's super good looks attracted a lot of attention, but when everyone saw that she was still followed by a short poor man, they showed a look of disdain.

Of course, this disdain is aimed at Yan Lingyu: Hmph, lick the dog.

After a simple meal, the two left the dining hall, and after a while they came to the martial arts arena.

Yan Lingyu looked at the time, 7:10, well, this should be the earliest time he came to the Cloud Sky Continent.

Because the time was earlier, there were not many people on the martial arts arena at this time, and the two found a place where no one was there and stopped.

"Tell me about your fighting style, what you're good at and what you're not good at. Cen Xue Road.

Yan Lingyu thought for a while: "Melee and long-range are fine, except for the average physical defense, there are no weaknesses in other aspects." ”

"Your swordsmanship is good, hand-to-hand combat should be no problem, although I know a little bit about all kinds of weapons, but I mainly use knives, and occasionally use spears, if the two of us are combined, long-range attacks may be a weakness. ”

"It's okay, I know how to use swordsmanship, I can be far and close, and there is no weakness in our combination. Yan Lingyu said proudly.

"Of course, the long-range lethality of the sword technique is powerful, but only those who have the potential of a sword immortal can comprehend it, and most of the sword skills in your mouth are just some kind of flying sword secret method, which cannot be called the imperial sword. Cen Xue Road.

She had naturally seen the power of the imperial sword technique, in the past, a sword immortal once visited the Dayue Dynasty, and that day Cen Xue's father had a fight with this sword immortal, and she was watching from the sidelines.

"I really ......"

"Okay, don't say anything superfluous, I'll see your strength first, and go all out to attack me. ”

"All your strength, are you sure?" Yan Lingyu said.

"I've read your information, and I know you're hiding your strength, but you don't have to hide anything in front of me. ”

"Okay, then I'll do my best, be careful. ”

Yan Lingyu took out the Heaven Killing Sword, he slowly pulled out the sword, hum~, the blade of the sword sounded without wind.

"The sword is good. Cen Xue praised it.

"Thank you for the compliment. Yan Lingyu said with a smile.

"I just don't know what the level of the person who uses the sword is. ”

"I don't think it will disappoint you. ”

Yan Lingyu dodged and approached Cen Xue, since the young lady said that there was no need to hide, then she was full of firepower.

Seeing Yan Lingyu attacking, Cen Xue also showed her Zhiyue knife.

The sword technique she practiced was called the Minghuang Knife Technique, and it was the same set of mastery as the Minghuang Divine Palm.

The next second, the swords collided, and the crisp sound of metal colliding sounded like music.

In order not to let Cen Xue underestimate herself, Yan Lingyu used all her strength, and the Wind Resisting Divine Technique combined with the Wind Chopping Sword Technique to stab back and forth, the speed was dazzling.

Cen Xue kept swinging her sword to resist, and as the battle progressed, the shock in her heart became stronger and stronger.

"Such a swordsmanship... Impossible, how could Lingqiu Country have such a genius. ”

"The Wind Blows"

Yan Lingyu soared into the air, followed by a long sword, and dozens of slender sword qi rushed straight to Cen Xue.

"Eight Directions Splitting the Sky"

Cen Xue raised her long knife and swung it down violently, and in an instant, countless sword intents slashed towards Yan Lingyu from all directions.

Yan Lingyu hurriedly used a turbulent current to destroy the wind, the sword qi offset the surrounding sword intent, and Cen Xue also shot a palm into the air, and the palm force dissolved Yan Lingyu's sword qi.

"Who the hell are you, such a swordsmanship, I don't believe that there are people in the Lingqiu country who can know it. Cen Xue Road.

Yan Lingyu smiled: "I'm Yan Lingyu." ”

"I ask you for your true identity. ”

"Then what about your true identity, a beautiful and powerful young lady like you, it is impossible for Lingqiu Country to have it. ”

Yan Lingyu is not a fool, just now he couldn't suppress Cen Xue with all his might, the strength of the other party is much beyond his imagination, you must know that with his talent, even in Kyushu, he can walk sideways, but when he comes to the small place of Lingqiu Country, he can't even beat a peer, if he has no problem, it can only mean that the other party has a problem.

"I'm Cen Xue. ”

"Oh, I'm Yan Lingyu. ”

"......" Cen Xue was a little speechless.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Yan Lingyu looked around: "That's it, there is no one here now, since we all want to know the true identity of the other party, how about making a bet." ”

After a moment of silence, Cen Xue spoke: "Bet on what." ”

"If I win, you tell me who you really are, and otherwise, I tell you mine. ”

Hearing this, Cen Xue's eyes froze, it seemed that this young man was indeed not simple, she clenched the knife in her hand: "Okay." ”

"Okay, that's a deal. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yan Lingyu adjusted the spiritual power in the collective and began to gather momentum, and Cen Xue's knife gradually glowed red.

The sword move has not yet arrived, the sword qi has risen, and the sword momentum has not yet been released, and the sword intent has gathered.

Both of them were in good spirits, and after a while, their momentum converged to the extreme, Yan Lingyu quietly changed his gestures, and he was going to use the sword technique with this move.

"The Phoenix"

"Sword Nine"

The two of them made a move at the same time, Cen Xue slashed it with a knife, and saw a huge phoenix roaring towards Yan Lingyu.

Yan Lingyu made a sword with his finger and pointed a little towards the sky, and the sky-killing sword turned into nine, and nine white streamers shot towards the huge phoenix at the same time.

The streamer and the phoenix collided, and a powerful shockwave spread out in all directions.

Cen Xue pressed the back of the knife with one hand and pressed it down, and the phoenix in the air also let out a chirp.

"Phew. ”

Yan Lingyu's gestures changed, and the nine streamers also increased the intensity of confrontation.

"Boom"

With a loud bang, the fiery red phoenix dissipated into nothingness, and the nine streamers were also knocked out and flew around.

Yan Lingyu held his palm lightly, and the nine sword shadows slowly flew back to him.

"Tie, it seems that I can't ask your true identity. Yan Lingyu said with a smile.

Cen Xue didn't answer, she turned around and left here directly.

Seeing this, Yan Lingyu hurriedly chased after him: "Hey, don't go, what's wrong, did I upset you, I don't ask your true identity." ”

Cen Xue shook her head: "I'm not unhappy, I originally wanted to find you to practice and cooperate, but I didn't expect you to be so strong, since that's the case, then you don't need to practice." ”

"Well, I thought I was upsetting you. ”

"What am I unhappy about, it's just a competition, you don't have to be serious. ”

"That's good, that's right, my swordsmanship just now is not handsome, Master always says that my swordsmanship is a showmanship, but I think it's very good, where is the flower. ”

Cen Xue stopped, and she turned her gaze to Yan Lingyu.

Yan Lingyu was a little embarrassed by her: "You... Look what I'm doing. ”

"Handsome. ”

"Huh?"

"Your swordsmanship is handsome. ”

"Oh, I thought you were handsome. ”

The morning air was fresh, and as the sun slowly rose, more and more fighters got up, and everyone walked towards the martial arts arena, but among the many people, there was a man and a woman walking in the opposite direction.

"Why don't you ask me for my true identity, don't you want to know. ”

"Didn't win, what is there to ask. ”

"A draw doesn't count as a loss, so it's okay for you to ask. ”

"Don't want to ask. ”

"emmmmmm, then I'll tell you forget it, in fact, I'm a genius, my master in order to train me, so he threw me here to practice, I can also use swordsmanship, you saw it just now. ”

"How did you do it. ”

"This is a secret, I can't say it. ”

......

After returning to the room, Yan Lingyu began to make up for sleep, anyway, the game didn't start until two o'clock in the afternoon, which was enough for him to sleep.

On the other side, Cen Xue sat in the room and fell into deep thought.

"Only the seventh-layer cultivation of the Phantom Mirror, but he can tie with me, and he can also use swordsmanship, this young man's identity is definitely not simple, even the Dayue Dynasty does not have such a genius, it seems that he has to report to his father-in-law. ”

At this moment, there was a sudden ripple somewhere in the sky, and then a man appeared there.

"This girl's breathing technique is very clever, if she is in the same realm as me, I'm afraid I won't be able to detect her true cultivation, how can Lingqiu Country have such a high-level technique, it seems that I have to investigate." ”

If Yan Lingyu can definitely recognize this person here, he is Lu Jinwen.

He had been invisible since he came to the Cloud Continent, until today he finally appeared.

Lu Jinwen appeared not because Yan Lingyu encountered any danger, but because he discovered Cen Xue's breathing technique.

There was nothing strange about practicing the Breath Gathering Technique, but the problem was that after investigation, he found that it was a very advanced Breath Gathering Method, and he dared to say that if Cen Xue was in the same realm as him, or even one level lower than him, he might not be able to detect the other party's true cultivation.

Lingqiu Country, the Lord of the Kingdom has only reached the Heavenly Realm, why there is a technique that even the powerhouses of the Saint King Realm are amazed by, this obviously does not make sense, so for the sake of safety, he decided to investigate, after all, Yan Lingyu's safety is very important, and any uncertain factors must be solved in advance.

"Huiyue City, Cen Mansion? ”

There was another ripple, and Lu Jinwen turned around and disappeared in place.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Lingyu got up on time, and the vehicle responsible for picking up the contestants had already come downstairs.

After counting the number of people, He Jingnan took everyone to the car, and he also did a lot of psychological counseling along the way, so that the players should not be nervous, not care about other people's eyes, etc.

Ten minutes they came to Longteng Stadium, the first to start is the team competition, the team competition is all held in the main stadium.

Yan Lingyu stood at the entrance and looked up at this magnificent building: "Playing in such a high-end place, if you don't win a championship, you're sorry for the royal family's expenses." ”

"Ling Yu, what's the fuss, hurry in. He Jingnan shouted.

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

Retracting her thoughts, Yan Lingyu trotted all the way into the stadium.
