Although Yi Yong was extremely unwilling to do so, facing these two players, he might not be able to win even if he risked his life. But once he was injured, he wouldn't have to worry about the rest of the game. After all, there were more than 20 people in the late stages of the Tribulation here. For a player, being injured means that he is taking advantage of those players who are not as good as him. Therefore, Yi Yong was free and easy and chose a player at random. When this player came on stage, he immediately gave up and handed the points and the stage to this dear friend. When Yi Yong came off the stage, he said fiercely: "I will be in the audience later to watch you two tigers fight. You must not get hurt!"
"Without your help, even if I am injured, you have no chance. You and I have already fought, and you can no longer challenge me." This lonely swordsman from the mountains sneered.
"Damn, I forgot about this." Yi Yong slapped his head, feeling annoyed.
However, what no one expected was that this lonely swordsman was not lonely at all. After beating nine players with zero points in a row, everyone thought that this lonely swordsman would face the challenge of another powerful player. As a result, something shocking happened. The player did not raise his hand to challenge at all. Originally, everyone wanted to watch a wonderful fight between dragons and tigers, but once again there was no challenge. It turned out that the player with zero points who had never been chosen also thought it had nothing to do with him, so there was no challenge, making the final battle of the lonely swordsman In one round, it turned into a draw to determine the contestants.
"This is cheating! Uh..." Yi Yong shouted loudly from the audience.
The referee Teng Yun shot a sharp look at Yi Yong. Since he was very unhappy with Yi Yong's remarks, he had the aura of a Mahayana cultivator in his eyes and held Yi Yong's next words in his throat. , holding it in until his face turned red and he coughed wildly.
"Noisy, don't talk nonsense, you must have evidence." Teng Yun scolded, his eyes turned around among the players in the field, and when he saw that the turbulent players began to calm down, he continued: "The arena competition There is no rule that you must challenge. If you can convince your competitors not to challenge yourself, it is also a demonstration of your ability. Well, I am giving you a chance. If anyone is willing to go on stage to challenge him, please raise your hand quickly. "
With zero points off the field, there was one player who had not played. When he was regretting why he didn't challenge, he didn't expect the opportunity to come to him again, and he immediately raised his hand. In this way, the Lone Swordsman qualified first with a record of ten victories and a total of 120 points, becoming the number one player.
In this way, a new round of the champion draw began, and an unlucky guy with average strength was drawn. In the first challenge, as expected, in addition to the player with 0 points, another strong player The one-armed swordsman also raised his only right hand. The champion thought about it and realized that it was unrealistic for him to win ten consecutive victories while the masters were still on the court. Unless there were weak players who wanted to send him out of the tournament in every game, otherwise it would be wishful thinking, so , it’s better to give way to Xian quickly. As a result, the one-armed swordsman successfully obtained the title of champion and gained 20 points. The rest of the process was exactly the same as that of the Lone Swordsman. The one-armed swordsman also successfully qualified and won the second place, but his points were only 20 points.
Hao Yun was amazed below. Unexpectedly, these players quickly discovered the secret of the group competition. Since there are no loopholes to exploit, let's simply send away all the strong players and focus on players with similar strength. Competing for the next ranking is the way to go. I don’t know if all the players off the field had already understood each other, and they sent away nearly ten players whose strength was recognized in succession. In the end, even Yi Yong and Qin Gang were successfully sent out. As long as the challenge is successful, you will naturally obtain the identity of the champion, and thus have the opportunity to win ten consecutive victories again, thereby qualifying for the qualifying round. Hao Yun discovered that the choice of challenger here is very particular. Logically speaking, the rules actually have loopholes. For example, when challenging, if one player is the challenger every time, then the challenger can naturally get the challenge easily. Ten consecutive wins. It's just that it's easy to get one or two people, but it's not easy to get ten people to obey him. At least he's not a coward. It is impossible for casual cultivators who have made it this far to get through with tricks. Everyone knows what can and cannot be done. Therefore, the entire arena competition suddenly became orderly, allowing the audience at the scene and those watching from outside to The people who broadcast the broadcast were extremely dissatisfied. Although the current situation could not be said to be cheating, the whole scene was really lackluster. In the end, it was just a formality, and they just gave up without even putting on airs. What's ridiculous is that there are still a few casual cultivators acting as conductors off the court to ensure that there are no repeated challenges. In short, the purpose is to prevent these strong players from taking away too many points as much as possible.
Hao Yun never dreamed that the arena competition, which was supposed to be extremely intense, would have such a dreamy effect. It no longer felt like a competition, but like queuing up to play house. Even Teng Yun, the chief referee, couldn't stand it anymore. When the designated players went on stage to draw lots, he specifically said: "After all, this is the most watched elite competition in the spiritual world. Isn't your way of playing too negative?" , it damages your image as a casual cultivator!"
"This can only show that our casual cultivators are very united. Besides, even if we are ranked high, it does not mean that we will definitely stay on the magical battlefield. In the future, we will have to compete with the big forces in the spiritual world to decide who will stay. . Therefore, we have also figured out that if we are not strong enough, even if we are in the front, we will just deliver food to you." One of the female casual cultivators who acted as the conductor replied from the audience.
The voice of this female casual cultivator was like an oriole coming out of the valley. It was very pleasant to the ears. In addition, she used her skills so that the entire audience could hear her clearly. Smart people immediately understood what this woman meant. In the final analysis, the ranking of this elite competition is of little significance. Ultimately, whether one can stay in the magical battlefield depends on the competition with the people from the big forces in the spiritual world. Therefore, it is indeed more feasible for my own family to fight to the death; once these casual cultivators thought about it clearly, they came to a consensus and decided to send away the strong players in the late stage of Tribulation first, and then wait until most of the remaining players are of similar strength. When the big players in the middle stage of the Tribulation are the real competition for ranking. As for those players who were in the early stages of the Tribulation, they were unfortunately forced to be at the bottom.
Referee Teng Yun immediately shut up and stopped trying to persuade him. Originally he was well-intentioned and felt that these players staged a very shameless scene in front of the audience's boos, which could easily cause public dissatisfaction. As a world of cultivators, the folk customs favor martial arts. Most people have been educated since childhood to be the kind of people with backbone and dignity. They would rather die standing than live lying down. This is the motto of many people. The performance of these casual cultivators has completely subverted most people's views. What Teng Yun actually means is that no matter what happens, you should have some face, just try it out a few times to make the situation passable. In the end, he was slapped back, so he simply didn't care about these people anymore. Anyway, he was not the one who was embarrassed in the end.
There is no rest time in the cultivator's game, and the game continues. Anyway, tired people can find a place to meditate and practice outside the field. Although the practice effect is definitely not good, it can at least restore some energy, so the game adopts this continuous rotation method. continue. The referee team is really affected. Fortunately, there are five people in total, three of whom come out for each game. Except for Hao Yuan who participates in the whole process as an assistant referee, the remaining four people are divided into two groups and take turns playing. Fortunately, the previous games were basically just a formality, until the last casual cultivator who was in the late stage of transcending the tribulation was sent out, so that the top 21 players successfully stood out. There are still seventy-nine players left, and most of them are cultivators in the middle stage of the Tribulation. Therefore, at this time, everyone who is paying attention to the game understands that the truly fierce competition is finally about to take place, and Hao Yun has already My heart, which had calmed down, became nervous again.
During the previous game, Fang Ziqian and Wanwan quickly figured out which of the hundred people on the list had worked in the management organization of the spirit world. At this time, Hao Yun had already received the information they sent and learned that among the remaining seventy-nine, there were still twenty-two people from various institutions. Some of them had even reached very high positions in their own institutions. Position, but in order to participate in the competition, they resigned from their positions one by one, and gave up their future for a vague promotion opportunity. Hao Yun couldn't understand or judge whether it was worth it or not. In short, everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced.
At this stage of the game, referee Teng Yun had gone to rest and was replaced by Lao Zhang as the referee. After a new round of drawing lots, a champion was selected and the challenge continued. As the referee, Lao Zhang is only at the level of the late stage of Tribulation. To be honest, his strength is relatively weak. Therefore, Hao Yun feels a little dissatisfied. The referee team should have two practitioners of the Mahayana stage, otherwise, if something happens , Lao Zhang simply has no ability to stop it in time. It's a pity that the matter has come to this. Hao Yun thought about it and couldn't propose a substitution now. He could only be more careful and beware of possible changes.
Matches between players of similar strength will indeed be more enjoyable, but this also greatly increases uncertainty. There are more and more exciting scenes in the game, but no one can easily win ten consecutive victories. Often, after finally defeating an opponent, he loses to a slightly weaker opponent than the previous opponent due to lack of physical strength in the next level. challenger. The trend of the game began to show a strange state. The champion's points kept rising, but no player could stand out from the crowd. If he persisted for two or three rounds at most, he would definitely be beaten.
This exhausted Hao Yun. Even so, some players were still injured. Fortunately, these casual cultivators spared their efforts and only suffered minor injuries. Then Dr. Liu led their medical team to treat the injured players. Emergency treatment was provided, and soon the injured players were back on the field alive and well, able to continue the fight.
Hao Yun was relieved. As long as everything was properly prepared, there should be no chance left for those bad guys with ulterior motives. But if this continues, this competition feels far away. If we wait for all seventy-nine people to use up their 10 challenge opportunities, they will have to play at least hundreds of games, not counting the main games they will play. Hao Yun estimated that if this continues, it will take at least ten and a half days. Even if the player can persist, he will definitely not be able to persist.
Hao Yun observed that the female casual cultivator who was originally the conductor and several other casual cultivators were whispering about something in the audience. From time to time, they would take out a pen and paper to write and draw on it. It seemed that they were also thinking about the current situation. situation and find ways to solve it. It is obvious that if this continues, if you want to qualify for the qualifying round, everyone must fight at least ten games, and in games of similar strength, you will be exhausted to death after one game. In the end, the outcome of this kind of melee is that people When people are exhausted and lack of energy, unknown troubles may sneak up on them.
This woman, who looked ordinary but felt very smart, was squatting on the ground, writing something very seriously on the white paper on her knees. Suddenly she felt as if someone was observing her, but her eyes would immediately shift away. After a while, his eyes turned back. After a few times, she was sure that someone was indeed observing her, secretly, and would always find opportunities to take a look at her intentionally or unintentionally. It was quite regular. It seemed to her that the eyes were coming from the court, and apart from the referee, there were also the contestants fighting. Who would be so free to observe her at this time? As an experienced casual cultivator, she kept her expression low and pretended to continue writing, thinking silently in her mind. When she felt that the time was almost up, she suddenly looked at the source of her eyes and saw a slightly panicked face. It turned out to be the auxiliary referee who had been working diligently without taking a break.
