The disciples from all over the world walked back to the stands, and the elders immediately called them to their side, taking advantage of the break to make suggestions for the next group battle.
In order to reduce the number of competitions, the group battle is not a simple one for everyone, but uses rules similar to reverse challenges.
The fifth disciple in the group will first initiate the challenge and challenge any disciple ranked higher than him.
If they win, their rankings will be reversed and they can continue to challenge upwards; if they fail, their original rankings will be maintained, and so on.
In most cases, the top-ranked disciple in the group only needs to wait for the people below to decide the winner and then play against the second-placed disciple.
Sometimes the second place player even feels that there is little hope of winning and gives up the challenge directly.
Yang Lin was not worried about Zhao Lin, but just warned: "I have nothing to explain. With your strength, as long as you don't underestimate the enemy, it's not difficult to get out."
Zhao Lin said seriously: "Don't worry, head of the academy, the disciples will never underestimate any opponent, and every fight will be fought as the last one."
"That's good."
Yang Lin nodded and turned to discuss tactics with other disciples.
Zhao Lin had nothing to do and released ultrasonic waves, shooting towards the bleachers where Wei Zi was.
At this time, Yi Rihao was sitting next to the ancient elder and listening to the arrangements.
Elder Gu stroked his beard and said: "The three, four or five people in your group are of average strength and are no match for you, so qualifying is not a problem."
"I suggest you fight Zhao Lin. He is so young and so strong. What does it mean?"
"It means that he spends all his energy on strength, and other techniques must be lacking. You may not have a chance."
"Even if he loses, he can let us see his true strength, pave the way for other disciples, and make great contributions to the sect."
"This is my suggestion, what do you think?"
Yi Rihao actually had the same idea. He felt that although his boxing power was more than a hundred lower than Zhao Lin, he had practiced martial arts for longer and had richer practical experience.
If he can win the battle, he will take Zhao Lin's place and occupy an extremely advantageous position in the subsequent elimination stages.
Although the risk is high, the rewards will be greater if you succeed, so it’s worth a try!
"Elder, this disciple will fight with him."
"good!"
Elder Gu nodded and smiled, placed his palm across his throat, and lightly stroked, "If you have the chance, kill him."
"Elder, don't worry, the martial arts competition will be like a war between two countries, and the disciples will not show mercy..."
Zhao Lin didn't listen any more, lowered his gaze and snorted in his heart: "Very good, I won't be soft, let's see who of us can beat the other to death."
During the meal, Elder Ruan of the Lotus Sect walked to the center of the school field and raised his voice: "Everyone, the group battle will begin soon. I will read out the rules of the competition as usual. I hope you will abide by them."
Then, he took out a parchment and read it loudly.
After Zhao Lin listened carefully, he found that the rules of the martial arts competition were similar to those of ordinary competitions, but there were three differences.
The first difference: People in the stands cannot verbally remind the disciples who are competing.
A warning will be given if found for the first time, and a penalty will be imposed for subsequent offenses.
Secret voice transmission will not work either. The Yuanjing warriors present have the ability to detect sound fluctuations.
The second difference: Both sides of the competition cannot leave their feet off the ground for more than five breaths, otherwise they will lose.
This is easy to understand. Blood Realm warriors all have a certain ability to fly into the air, especially those who practice wind-based skills. They can stay in the air for a long time.
Without this rule, there may be a situation where one person is hovering in the sky and the other person is watching in the ring, and the competition cannot proceed normally.
Last but not least, the rules don't explicitly say you can't kill.
In other words, if you are not strong enough and do not admit defeat in time, you are likely to be beaten to death.
This is also the cruelty of the martial arts competition. The two parties are not disciples of the same clan and country, and no one will show mercy.
After reading out the rules of the competition, Elder Ruan put down the parchment and said: "It's getting late. Please take your seats. The group battle... begins!"
When the disciples heard the sound, they stood up and walked into the school grounds. Under the guidance of the Lotus Sect, they came to their respective arenas.
There is an elder Xiuzhao in front of each arena who serves as the referee.
Zhao Lin is in the fifth group, and the arena is located in the center of the school field.
"Jiang Qu, who do you challenge?"
The Arbiter Elder asked the fifth disciple.
The disciple named Jiang Qu said without hesitation: "I challenge the fourth place, Saihan."
There is something special about this. Only the top two in each group can qualify. Some disciples know that they have no hope of qualifying, so they lower their goals, hoping to win a game, which will also count towards their country's record.
The Arbiter Elder nodded, "Okay, you two, come on to the ring."
Jiang Qu and Saihan walked onto the ring without saying a word and raised their fists almost at the same time.
Raise your fist to start, and raise your palm to admit defeat.
The elder said "Okay" and began to count: "One, two...three!"
The two men moved and rushed towards each other, fighting fiercely.
Zhao Lin knew that these two people would not pose a threat to him, but he still watched carefully and tried to figure it out.
The two disciples belong to Xiuzhao and Wushu respectively. You can have some understanding of the martial arts of the two countries through their moves. If you meet the disciples of these two countries later, you will have a rough idea.
The nine arenas started fighting almost at the same time, with punches and kicks coming and going, and shouts and shouts could be heard all the time.
The hearts of those watching the battle were also raised, and they all hoped that their disciples would get a good start.
It didn't take long before the two men on the central stage were already competing. Jiang Qu defeated Saihan and won his first victory.
However, in the next contest, he lost to the third-ranked Wu Che disciple.
Wu Che's disciple could only challenge upward. He hesitated between Zhao Lin and Yi Rihao, and finally chose the latter. After all, Zhao Lin's attack power was too powerful.
Yi Rihao's boxing power ranks 46th, and his specialty technique is the Flame Sword, the most famous of the Lieyan Sect. Both in strength and technique, he is stronger than Wu Che's disciples.
After only a dozen rounds of fighting, Yi Rihao beat the Wu Che disciple until he threw up his hands and resigned, clutching his chest and exiting the game.
The arbitration elder asked: "Yi Rihao, do you challenge Zhao Lin, or do you want to stop here?"
Yirihao looked at Zhao Lin and said, "I challenge Zhao Lin."
Although he was already determined to qualify, he decided to give it a try for a better ranking.
Once you win, you will face weaker opponents in the elimination round. This temptation is too great.
Zhao Lin knew that he would challenge him, so he climbed up the stairs and onto the ring before he finished speaking.
For a moment, all the eyes of the audience gathered...
Everyone wanted to see what this Dai Viet genius who suddenly appeared was capable of, and even the other disciples under the ring looked over.
Yi Rihao took a deep breath and suddenly felt great pressure.
Although Zhao Lin is young, his punching power of 522 is real. If he is unfortunately hit by a punch, it will be difficult for him to withstand the strength of his body.
