It took twelve full days for the first round of the first-round rookie group competition at the Seven Houses Feast to be officially over.
However, this is only the end of the first phase.
In the first round of the rookie group competition, there is also the second stage, the challenge stage!
Everyone who is defeated in the first round can choose to challenge his opponent in this link, and each person only has one chance to challenge.
"Until yesterday, after twelve days, the first session of the rookie group finally came to an end."
"Starting today, the second session of the rookie group will begin."
Above the void, Lin Donglai, the elder of Yanxiao Sect of Xuanyu Mansion, looked solemn and spoke loudly, "In the second round, those who lost in the first round will have a chance to challenge."
"You can think of this as the 'Battle of Resurrection.'"
"Next, those who have failed in the first round but still want to challenge again can raise the jade slip I gave you before above their heads...and those who do not intend to challenge again can choose to inject divine power into the jade slip. Destroying the jade slip will be regarded as giving up your right to challenge this time!"
As Lin Donglai spoke, a group of people around raised the jade slips.
As for the people who destroyed the jade slips, there were only a few.
"Now, I will hand out the serial number tokens and then challenge them in the order of the numbers above."
The next moment, when Lin Donglai spoke again, tokens were thrown away by him, and then flew directly over as if being pulled by the jade slips in everyone's hands.
Everyone who raised the jade slip received a token.
"Now, whoever got the token No. 1, come up and pick your opponent. I have reminded you before that in the first link, if there is an opponent you like, remember the words on the token in the opponent's hand. When you initiate a challenge in the second link, you can directly tell him the words on the token."
In the first session, two people who got the same carved words competed against each other.
The winner keeps the token.
The loser turns in the token.
"Those who get Token No. 1 are also lucky."
Duan Lingtian stood among a group of people from the Chunyang Sect, sitting cross-legged in the void, looking far ahead, but he was no longer practicing as hard as he had been a few days ago.
In this link, the person who plays first will definitely have an advantage.
After all, he can choose his opponent at will.
As for those who come up later, their choices of opponents are limited.
The last person to play has very few opponents to choose from... This is because a few people have abstained. If no one abstains, the last person to play has no choice but to challenge the one who is left. people.
"Duan Lingtian."
Suddenly, Zhen Pingfan's voice came to Duan Lingtian's ears.
Duan Lingtian heard the sound and looked at Zhen Pingfan.
Zhen Pingfan sent a message: "A few days ago, even though you were at the feast of the Seven Palaces, you were still practicing hard...and since a few days ago, you have stopped practicing."
"It seems that you have achieved the current breakthrough in cultivation?"
It's no wonder Zhen Pingfan made such a guess, because Duan Lingtian a few days ago was too serious. Even at the feast of the Seven Palaces, he was still practicing hard and didn't even watch a few battles.
When Duan Lingtian heard Zhen Pingfan's words, he couldn't help but feel the poisonous look in Zhen Pingfan's eyes, and then smiled and said through the message: "A little progress."
"If you want to go further, you won't be able to improve in a short time."
"So, it's better to relax properly."
"After all, there is a way to relax."
After hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Zhen Pingfan took a deep look at him. Are you sure it's just a small improvement?
Thinking of Duan Lingtian's ability to defeat Wanqi Hong of the Wanqi family in the past, Zhen Pingfan's heart was shaken... Based on that, his strength has been further improved. Is there anyone else who can be Duan Lingtian's opponent in this feast of seven mansions?
At this moment, the person who got the No. 1 token also came on stage.
The person who got the No. 1 token was a young prodigy from the Underworld, and Duan Lingtian had some impressions of him.
Because he only fought against others the day before yesterday.
After a hundred moves, he was defeated by the opponent.
With his strength, it would be no problem to enter the rookie group. The reason why he was kicked off in the first round was because his opponent was too strong.
"He's in the rookie group, so he's stable."
And everything that happened next was just as Duan Lingtian had guessed. This talented genius from the Underworld, who was pretty good, picked a weaker opponent, defeated him within thirty moves, replaced him, and became a member of the rookie group.
He has successfully challenged now, and no one else can challenge him later. It can be said that he has passed the first round of the rookie competition.
"I don't know...if anyone will challenge me."
Duan Lingtian said secretly.
After thinking about it for a while, Duan Lingtian started to look forward to it.
"Duan Lingtian!"
At this moment, a cold voice reached Duan Lingtian's ears at the right time. The voice sounded familiar, but he subconsciously couldn't remember where he had heard it.
However, turning his head slightly, Duan Lingtian saw who was transmitting the message to him.
Wan Qihong.
The number one genius among the younger generation of the Wanqi family.
Dongling Mansion was once the number one young person among the younger generation.
While Duan Lingtian looked at Wan Qihong and looked at each other, Wan Qihong's voice transmission continued, "I originally planned to pretend to be defeated by others in the first step, and then challenge you, defeat you, and let You can’t compete for the top ten spots for Chunyang Sect.”
"However, after thinking about it for a moment, I'd better spare you some time! Don't let Chunyang Sect jump over the wall in a hurry!"
The Chunyang Sect of today is not the Chunyang Sect of the past.
Even if Wan Qihong regards Duan Lingtian as his enemy, Ye Chenfeng as his enemy, and Chunyang Sect as his enemy, he has to take this into consideration.
Hearing Wan Qihong's message, Duan Lingtian was stunned for a moment, then took a deep look at Wan Qihong, with a hint of teasing at the corner of his mouth, and said indifferently: "Listen to what you mean, in the past ten years, it seems that Some progress?"
"However, you don't want to fight me at this time. Isn't it just because you are afraid of the Chunyang Sect?"
"You, and even the Wanqi family, shouldn't dare to take risks, right?"
Duan Lingtian revealed the situation on Wan Qihong's side with just one sentence, causing Wan Qihong's expression to change. He then said a harsh word and said nothing more.
"Duan Lingtian, in the top ten ranking battle, I will defeat you!"
Wan Qihong's voice was extremely cold.
"I'll see."
Duan Lingtian replied lightly, and at the same time he was also thinking in his heart, how far has Wan Qihong's strength improved to be so confident?
However, even if Wan Qihong improves, he is not afraid.
Wan Qihong's improvement may not be as great as his!
Even if it exceeds his improvement, it is impossible to defeat him.
At the same time, the challenges on the field were also in full swing... After the challenge of No. 1 was successful, the challenge of No. 2 was also successful.
On the 3rd, the challenge was still successful.
…
Until No. 7 went up and picked an opponent, the two were evenly matched and fought hundreds of moves, but he still lost.
This is also the first person to fail in the challenge.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian heard the voices of many Chunyang Sect disciples talking:
"This No. 7 tried his best. His strength is not strong to begin with. Although the opponent he chose is not strong either, he is obviously weaker."
"I suddenly remembered... If this weak person who is at risk of being pulled down is challenged once by an even weaker person, wouldn't this round be safe?"
"That's the truth."
"In this round, there will definitely be people who are pretty good and would normally have a chance to enter the rookie group, but because of this situation, they will not be able to qualify for the rookie group."
"That's not fair, is it?"
"There's nothing unfair... Luck is actually a part of strength. For people like us, even if we have the same talent and understanding, our results will be the same? That's not necessarily the case!"
"That's true. Moreover, people with strong abilities will definitely be able to enter the rookie group this time. There is no doubt about it. Those who have the ability but cannot enter are those who are slightly stronger than the average person but are unlucky."
…
The second stage of the rookie group, that is, the challenge stage and the resurrection stage, lasted for seven full days.
Seven days later, the roster of the rookie group was completely confirmed.
A total of 816 people.
In other words, there are more than 1,600 people participating in the Seven Palaces Feast this time, and half of them are currently on the rookie list.
"There are still many people who are not convinced."
Just as Duan Lingtian heard a discussion from a group of Chunyang Sect disciples seven days ago, after the final list of the rookie group came out, many people were unconvinced. They felt that some people were weaker than them because they had been challenged before, and the person who challenged him was even weaker. So much so that they lost the opportunity to challenge each other.
Otherwise, they could definitely take their place.
Precisely because many people were unconvinced, a large number of people gathered, more than a hundred people.
Moreover, these people also gathered to find the host of the Seven Houses Feast, the elder of Yanxiao Sect, Lin Donglai...
However, Lin Donglai only had one sentence for these people:
"If any of you is sure to be in the top 30, I will give him a spot on the rookie list."
"But, what if I give you a spot but still don't make it into the top 30... I'll give up all my cultivation?"
As soon as Lin Donglai said these words, he immediately persuaded everyone to retreat.
Of course, some of these people were still unconvinced and intended to confront their elders... However, their elders ignored him.
The rules of the Qifu Feast are not something that happens in a day or two. They have known it for a long time, so how can they stand up for the younger generation?
Now, the feast of the Seven Palaces is held in Xuanyu Palace.
This time if they intervene.
In the future, if the feast of the Seven Palaces is held on their side and the same situation occurs and others come to them, what should they do?
Therefore, this turmoil, which was originally considered a big one, quickly subsided.
"Luck is indeed part of strength."
Duan Lingtian deeply agrees with this point. Even though he has come all the way from the secular plane, he dare not say that it is all based on his own talent, understanding, and hard work.
Among them, luck plays a large part.
Part of the reason why he is where he is today is also because of luck...
