Several children looked at each other, and their eyes involuntarily fell on Xia Ling.

If any star was already a powerhouse in the Spirit Refining Realm, wouldn't it be that Xia Ling had just blocked the blow of the Spirit Refining powerhouse?

Zilong looked at Xia Ling's eyes a little more inexplicably, because of this girl's assistance, they were able to cooperate with Yu Yue's soul light, and they had comprehended the spirit refining realm several times in advance. Because of this, they were able to advance to the current realm so smoothly, although they couldn't take the step of refining spirits before the competition in the end, but the peak of gathering spirits was already quite rare.

And Xia Ling's own strength has never really come out, the little girl is reluctant to mention this, although a few people in the Dragon and Tiger team are curious, it is inconvenient to ask more.

Could it be that Xia Ling has already advanced to spirit refining?

Elder Lin didn't pay attention to everyone's eyes, he still introduced the children worriedly.

"Let's not mention any rewards first, just treat it with a normal heart. The Continental Rivalry is the highest level of competition among the Imperial Academies, and it is an honor for you to participate. ”

"I already knew the rules of this contest when I first reported it. This time, there were a total of seventy-six empires and more than two hundred and twenty teams. Although the number of players has doubled, the format of the game is basically the same as before, with a maximum of five players per team, and the overall strength of each team will be tested on the field. ”

"After today's report, each team will be arranged separately in the major high-end inns in the Imperial City, in principle, the participating teams are not allowed to communicate with each other outside the arena, and the empire will also arrange guard handles for each team's residence. The competition is divided into three rounds: preliminary round, semi-final and grand prix. The preliminary round alone will be contested for five days. And tomorrow is the first day of the preliminary round. ”

"The preliminary round is also known as the knockout round, which means that the losing side will be eliminated directly. The way the game is played is a five-on-five team, but the opponents of the match are not completely random. The tournament organizers will divide all participating empires into five tiers according to the ranking of the previous tournament, and draw lots from the same tier to select the battle list in advance. However, it is safe to assume that the teams against the Empire in the knockout round will not be arranged to play against each other. ”

"The preliminary round lasted for five days, and every day was a competition between classes. Each day's knockout rounds will be stopped after the top 10 are played, and a total of 50 teams will be selected for the semi-finals. The semi-finals will begin on the sixth day in a round-robin format, at which time the 50 teams will not be assigned to each other. Rather, they were drawn completely randomly and divided into ten groups. Each group of five teams competes in wheel battles, with the team with the highest winning percentage qualifying for the Grand Prix. ”

"As for the final Grand Prix, if we do get that far, I'll tell you about it. Pressing matter. Both of our teams have to fight for the preliminary round!"

"Elder Lin...... It's easy to say whatever the rules are. But you don't seem to have much confidence in us......" Zhang Teng stuck out his tongue. and Yu Yue made a grimace.

"Let's do our best, but our enemies in the first stage won't be too strong, because ......"

"Huh, could it be ......" Looking at Elder Lin's embarrassed expression, Zilong and the others stared at each other.

"Ahem...... Tomorrow is the fifth estate. That is, the weakest level of confrontation. According to the results of the last session, we happened to be classified in the fifth tier this time. Elder Lin's eyes drifted to the other side.

"That's ...... so"

"Elder Lin, can some of the personnel of each team be exchanged for each competition?"

"Hehe, I know what you're thinking! Unfortunately, no, even in the same empire, the roster of each team is fixed and cannot be exchanged. Elder Lin smiled and stroked Chunjie's head.

"Brother, have confidence in our second team!" A disappointed look flashed in Zhang Teng's eyes, but he immediately laughed and patted Chunjie's shoulder and said, "Our second team has practiced the technique of combined attacks, and I won't do it if I want you to come in!"

After nearly a year of intensive training, the feelings of the children between the two teams have gradually changed from opposing competition to forging ahead together.

Yu Yue had never discussed with Xia Ling once, hoping to use the Light of Life to help the members of the second team, but unfortunately this little girl resolutely disagreed. Without her assistance, the light of life could not be used indiscriminately, and the Dragon and Tiger team could only keep their oath and carefully protect this secret.

Several members of the second team have been lingering in the middle of the spirit gathering for more than half a year, which is also a very good situation, and it has been achieved with the support of a large number of resources from the empire.

"That's right, you team should work hard, and a few of us will strive not to disgrace the empire!" Su Xiaoge is the captain of the second team, and he is usually silent, but at this time he rarely put on a smile.

This competition may be just child's play for some high-level monks, and the trial of the demon realm can attract the attention of many strong people. But for these children, it is a huge challenge in their lives that they have cultivated so far.

Jiajun's lack of news, Jiaming's disappearance, and the trickery of the demon group...... A heavy burden weighed on the hearts of the young children of the Dragon and Tiger team.

The heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient, seeing this, Zilong and they can only bear it silently. In the wordless depression, they silently chose a qiē possibility to struggle and grow. From the futon oath at the expense of life and death, to the risk of using the light of life to improve their strength, they have experienced thrilling times and times, and they have walked on thin ice to get to where they are today.

Maybe the other Imperial teams have better resources and are stronger, but none of them will make them fearful!

The members of the Dragon and Tiger team firmly believe in this in their hearts, and they never want to mention the qiē in their hearts, but that spirit of exuberance is expressed all the time. The members of the second team who have been with them for nearly a year are also imperceptibly infected by this spirit.

In this kind of infection and progress, the children of the two teams abandoned strangeness and estrangement, and became good partners.

"Friends and Academies, now our empire will send guards to lead and escort you to different inns to rest!" a loud voice swept through the noisy field, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"What about Fei Ling, didn't he arrive first, why hasn't he come yet?" Elder Lin frowned after hearing this, and hurriedly asked.

"This ...... We don't know!" Zilong and the others looked at each other.

"Excuse me, are you a representative of the Dongchen Empire?" Before he could say more, a young armored guard walked over.

"Ah, we still have a teammate who hasn't arrived, can we wait any longer?" Zilong said quickly.

"Fei Ling of the Dongchen Empire team has already gone to the inn first, if you are looking for him, you can go with Zai Xia now. ”

"What?!, did the kid go to the inn and lie down first?" Yu Yue shouted angrily.

"This ...... Please come with me!" a strange look flashed through the guard's eyes, and he hesitated slightly. (To be continued......)
