Chapter Twenty-Five: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
The night passed, and in the early morning of the next day, the arena was already crowded, and the second round of the Junior Martial Arts Competition officially began.
Yesterday, the first round of the tournament lasted until it was completely dark, and 2,500 people were eliminated, leaving 7,500 people eligible to continue playing.
After one elimination, most of the inexperienced players have been eliminated, and the rest are local elites with the power to fight.
There are as many as 200 players in Xiajiabao who have passed the test this time, but there are not many of them who can really be called elites.
After the first round of the competition, there are only 100 people who are still qualified, that is to say, in the first round of the competition, Xiajiabao was eliminated by nearly half of the people.
This situation made the face of the leader of the Xia clan very embarrassed, because after Xiajiabao's rival, Wujiabao, was eliminated, and the number of participants was more than 20 more than Xiajiabao.
This made the leader of the Xia clan laugh at him fiercely by the leader of the Wu family, how could this make the leader and elder feel comfortable.
No, early in the morning, I kept preaching to the children of the contestants, analyzing their own characteristics, and conducting pre-competition training, but how much effect it can really have, it will be a matter of opinion.
This kind of pre-competition training can be good and bad, it can inspire people, but it can also make people lose their bearings, especially for people with weak willpower, which has been proven many times in various competitions in Xia Fan's previous life.
However, for Xia Fan, this kind of preaching has no effect at all, after all, the inhuman pain that has come from childhood has sharpened Xia Fan's will as tough as a rock of steel, how can it be affected by a small preaching?
Time passed slowly in the process of the leader elder's preaching, and Xia Fan finally ushered in his second round of competition.
Xia Fan's second round was in the twenty-first round, although Xia Fan won the last round, but Xia Fan's own combat power ranking was not too high, so this time his opponent was an opponent of the third layer and seventh level of qi refining.
As soon as the battle began, Xia Fan knew that there was no need for him to remember the name of this opponent, because Xia Fan felt that he was fighting a fierce beast.
Xia Fan found that his opponent's fighting style was completely the fighting style of a fierce beast, going straight and rigidly using low-level qi refining martial arts, without any flexibility at all, just like a fierce beast.
This kind of combat method is completely no problem in fighting low-level fierce beasts, but if you fight against an opponent who is extremely flexible, such as Zhuzhu Sword, it is to find death.
An opponent like this couldn't provide any help to Xia Fan at all, and Xia Fan didn't bother to entangle with him, so he slashed over with an axe and slashed him out of the ring.
"Bump!"
"The twenty-first round of the second round, Xia Fan wins!"
Xia Fan got out of the ring and did not immediately return to the players' seat, but went to other rings to watch the battle in the ring, which is allowed in the competition.
Through the battle just now, Xia Fan found a problem, he wanted to perfect his martial arts skills in the preliminary round of this junior martial arts competition, and it seemed that it was difficult to achieve this goal.
After all, in the preliminary round, most of the young players grew up through battles with fierce beasts, and their martial arts were completely aimed at fierce beasts, and they were practiced by low-level fierce beasts.
In the other rings, Xia Fan found that the martial arts of these young players were indeed like his previous opponents, going straight and straight, following the moves and routines of low-level qi refining martial arts, without their own styles and changes at all.
In fact, Xia Fan also knows that this has a lot to do with the favorable time and place of Yantou County, which is located in the southernmost part of the Southern Wilderness Continent and adjacent to the Yandang Mountains. ...,
Here, all the wars and martial arts of human beings are produced against fierce beasts, so naturally there will be a lack of ways to fight with people, and perhaps with the gradual improvement of combat experience, martial arts will also be perfected, but that is obviously not what these young players can have.
However, not all young players are like this, at least as Xia Fan's first opponent, the martial arts skills of Zhuzhu Sword are very strong, which is highly valued by Xia Fan and is of great help to Xia Fan.
And the facts also proved that Xia Fan's eyes, in the first round of elimination, Zhuan Zhujian defeated his opponent neatly and entered the second round.
There are also genius children of various families, although they did not show much ability because of the unbearable opponent, but it was precisely because of this that Xia Fan understood that they must have their own hole cards like Zhuzhu Sword.
It's just that there still seem to be too few such geniuses, and Xia Fan doesn't know if they can provide him with enough experience and inspiration to perfect his martial arts.
·····
Although 7,500 people were less than 10,000, it took a whole day for the second round and the knockout round to be completed.
On the third day, the third round, after two rounds, half of the contestants have been eliminated, and there are still 5,000 people left.
The children of the Xia clan were eliminated by twenty in the second round, and there were still eighty players left in the competition, ten less than the players in Wujiabao, which made the leader of the Xia family be ridiculed by the leader of Wujiabao again.
In fact, the strength of the children of the Xia family is not worse than that of Wu Jiabao at all, and it cannot be worse.
It's just that the luck of the children of the Xia family seems to be very poor, in the second round of the game, whether it is the main match or the knockout round, many of the opponents encountered by the children seem to be very strong, and they can't beat others, so they can only be eliminated.
In the third round of the competition, Xia Fan's opponent was a player with a third-layer seventh-level combat power of qi refining, this person not only had a combat power of the third-level seventh-level of qi refining, but also his qi refining realm had also reached the third-level of qi refining, which could be said to be a very strong opponent.
However, when the two of them started to do it, Xia Fan knew that this person was not good, although he had the combat power of the third layer and the seventh level of qi refining, he purely relied on cultivation to pile up, but his martial arts were not outstanding, and he was no different from ordinary people.
"Boom!"
Xia Fan slashed out of the ring with an axe, sending his opponent into the knockout round.
Now in the third round of the competition, the combat power of all the players is at least the seventh level of the third layer of qi refining, Xia Fan can be sure that with this person's martial arts, he will definitely not be able to pass the knockout round.
The players in the third round are generally more powerful, and each game is no longer a moment and a half to decide the winner and loser, and by the time all the fixtures are over, it is already dark.
After three rounds of competition, there are still 3,750 players left in the preliminary round of the Youth Martial Arts Competition, but these 3,750 people can be said to be the strongest among the young generation.
It can be said that these 3,750 talents are the elite of the elite among the teenagers in the entire Yantou County, and only 1,000 of them are eligible to participate in the real semi-finals and finals of the Youth Martial Arts Competition.
Therefore, when the preliminary round of the junior martial arts competition reached the fourth day, whether it was the 100,000 spectators in the arena or the 3,750 teenagers who participated, they were all enthusiastic and high-spirited.
In the tenth game of the fourth round, Xia Fan stood in the ring, looking at his opponent in the fourth round, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, shook his head and thought, "Is it him?"
"Xia Fan, you waste, you wasteland bull with only brute strength, finally let me touch you, today I will scrape you inch by inch to repay the insult you inflicted on me!"
