Chapter 108 Five Groups
A few days later, all 25 seeded players were finally finalized.
Shu Yanxin ranked first with a complete victory record, followed closely by Zhu Huichao from the Imperial City East Palace with two losses, while Bai Fei ranked third due to three losses, and Luo Dongling ranked third due to his improvement in realm and Bai Fei's deliberateness. He gave in and ended up in eighth place. The ranking actually doesn't matter because the bottom 25 are determined by drawing lots and not based on ranking.
After the fierce battle in the seventh round, the gap in strength gradually became apparent. This eighth round only gave the bottom 25 players a last chance, but if you really want to knock out the top 25 seeded players, you need to It is unbelievable luck. If you draw lots in the late stage of the Supreme Immortal and face the Holy Power, even if you have the help of the unbelievable magic weapon, it will be difficult to change the final outcome of defeat.
The dark horse in the Western Continent once again created a miracle. Not only did he reach the peak of immortality, but he also had so much luck that he entered the seed contestants. The four young masters from the four major families, except Wanyan Zongshu, entered the seed contestants. , the other three people all have to face the choice of fate.
On the day the seventh round ended, the draw for the eighth round was held, and the competition will be held as scheduled the next day. Only after the eighth round ends and the five groups are drawn by lot, these players will have a five-day period to recuperate. Don't underestimate these five short days. Looking at all previous conferences, it is during these five days that the situation will undergo earth-shaking changes.
The first person to go up to draw lots was a soul cultivator. Among the 50 contestants, there were only two soul cultivators. One was Tang Roumei and the other was him. He took the bamboo stick out of the box with trembling fear, but when he saw the name on the bamboo stick, his face suddenly turned green. When the notary read out his opponent's name, everyone couldn't help but sigh. Unexpectedly, he actually picked Shu Yanxin in one fell swoop, which was extremely unlucky.
The drawing of lots was carried out in an orderly manner. Most of them were very upset, presumably because they did not seize this last opportunity. There were also a few with excited expressions on their faces. It seemed that they had drawn better lots. Although the hope was not very high, Finally there is a chance to fight. Tang Roumei had never thought that she could make a comeback in such a situation, so she felt very relaxed. However, when she saw the name on the bamboo stick, she couldn't laugh or cry. It turned out that her opponent was Bai Fei.
The dark horse's luck continued to explode. He was actually selected by a player who was only in the middle stage of the Immortal. Needless to say, he had two heaven-defying magic weapons. Even without him, he could win this battle steadily. But Luo Dongling was drawn by Murong Longxuan.
Yun Ling and Yao Jie were so happy that they immediately decided to ask Luo Dongling to teach that nasty guy a lesson when they returned.
After the lottery was over, everyone went home.
Bai Fei and others returned to their manor. Yun Ling and Yao Jie had already taken Luo Dongling aside to talk quietly. He pulled Tang Roumei into the room. He did not persuade her to admit defeat, but encouraged her to fight with him. , in his plan, whether it was a real battle or an exhibition match, in this final battle, he must leave her with a memory that she would never forget.
The eighth round of the game started with Shu Yanxin fighting against the unlucky soul cultivator. The soul cultivator was trembling all over. He had no intention of fighting her, but he felt shameless if he had to admit defeat directly. In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet. Shu Yanxin seemed to see through his mind, smiled slightly, suppressed all her energy, and fought him purely with her soul power, not even using the soul-seeking bell. When the soul cultivator saw her like this, he was secretly grateful in his heart, and immediately put all his energy into the battle. Although this battle was fierce, it was not exciting. In the end, the soul cultivator took the initiative to admit defeat with gratitude. With Shu Yanxin's help, he was proud of his defeat and marked a good start for his participation in this Immortal Saint Meeting. The perfect ending.
The game continued until the end, and no miracle happened. The 25 seeded players all defeated their opponents. Although some battles were extremely thrilling, they finally won this crucial battle. When Murong Longxuan faced off against Luo Dongling, although he was unwilling to do so, the opponent's strength was so great that in the end he just humiliated himself. Luo Dongling beat him to pieces. Yun Ling and Yao Jie in the audience watched. Overjoyed.
When the battle between Bai Fei and Tang Roumei started, everyone thought that the battle was nothing to see. After all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, but Bai Fei exceeded everyone's expectations. He controlled his cultivation level to be on par with Tang Roumei's. Once the two of them fought, the intensity was no less intense than other competitions. Tang Roumei naturally understood his intentions and stimulated him to the maximum extent. His own potential sometimes makes Bai Fei confused, which makes the audience sigh.
At the end of the exhibition match, Bai Fei unleashed all his cultivation and hit Tang Roumei, who was attacking him, into the air. Amid everyone's shock, he flew into the sky, grabbed her slender waist, and slowly rose from the air. After landing, Tang Roumei was held in his arms. Her face turned red in front of everyone. She looked at him affectionately, her heart filled with tenderness.
"Senior sister, Brother Bai is partial!" Seeing this scene, Yao Jie said flatly.
"Jie'er, are you jealous? I'll ask him to make it up to you!" Yao Shuchen secretly laughed in his heart.
"Senior sister—" Yao Jie was stunned, then threw herself into her arms, refusing to obey.
In fact, she was not jealous in her heart, let alone blaming Bai Fei. She just said this after seeing that Bai Fei did not hide his affection at all in public, and she was already lively and cheerful.
Not to mention that other people had their own thoughts on this scene, even Shu Yanxin secretly cursed after seeing it. As soon as Bai Fei came to this competition, the next few battles all lost their luster, and everyone was immersed in the previous battles.
All 25 seeded players retained their status, which was also very rare in previous conferences. Then, Mr. Mao first said some words of congratulations to the 25 seeded players, and then quickly presided over the drawing ceremony for the five groups.
After the ninth round, because there is an elimination challenge, there is no need to worry about the strongest being assigned to the same group. Even if you successfully qualify in the group, there is no guarantee that you will actually enter the final round. , everything must rely on strength to speak for itself.
Soon, five groups A, B, C, D, and E were formally established through drawing lots.
In the ninth round, most people only had a few more opportunities to show their faces. After all, only five people could enter the final battle of honor. The tenth round of the competition is not only a fight for one's own glory, but also closely related to the glory of the continent to which it belongs. Therefore, the final battle for the top five has always been a fierce battle, but it is still too early to say. In such a battle of honor, first of all, you have to draw lots and go through hard battles to qualify for the group. You also have to face the challenges of those players who were eliminated in the group to have this qualification.
Shu Yanxin was the first to go up to draw lots. At this time, she was already the winner in the hearts of most of the audience. As soon as she approached the box containing the bamboo sticks with code names, the audience immediately burst into applause and cheers. Shu Yanxin remained unmoved by the outside world. From her face, there was no indication of what she was thinking at the moment. She slowly put her hand into the box, seemingly casually picked out a bamboo stick and handed it over. into the hands of the nearby notary. After the notary called out the number on the spot and verified the registration, she was drawn into Group C.
The second person to go up to draw lots was Jiang Yun, who was also from Wangyue Palace. He was not as calm as Shu Yanxin. Although it is extremely difficult to qualify no matter which group he is in, he does not want to be drawn into the same group as his senior sister. Although he can win a chance for himself through the challenge after being eliminated, looking at the previous Conference, few people can seize such an opportunity. However, God was not kidding him. He breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the bamboo sticks. It turned out that he had been drawn into Group A.
Although there were only 25 people and 25 lots, it still took more than half an hour. Bai Fei was the last one to go up. In fact, whether he smoked or not had no practical significance. The result was already clear. The bamboo stick lying alone in the box naturally had a big "D" written on it. He was assigned to group D.
What makes Bai Fei dumbfounded is that he was not included in the draw, but the lot left for him in the end was exactly the same as the one drawn by Luo Dongling, which meant that he and Luo Dongling were both assigned to Group D.
The other three people in the same group as them are: Meng Mengtong from Qingxuanzhai in the northern continent, Wanyan Zongshu from the Wanyan family in the central part, and Xie Baiwei from Xingchen Palace in the western continent. I just don’t know if this dark horse can be dark to the end? It can be seen from his expression that he has no such confidence at all.
In Group C, in addition to Shu Yanxin, the other four people are: Murong Yin from the Murong family in the central part, Yang Bangxian from the Moyun Sect in the western continent, and Xu Yixin and Lu Yu from the Wushuang Palace in the northern continent. The five people in Group A are: Jiang Yun and Gan Baoyun from the Moon Palace in the Western Continent, Zhu Huichao from the East Palace in the Central Continent, and the sisters Xing Lin and Xing Li from Happy Valley in the Western Continent. The five people in Group B are: Mao Jie from the West Palace in the central part, Cheng Wenhao from the North Palace in the central part, Bai Zhaobo from the Nangong Palace in the central part, Liu Yinghe from Wushuang Palace in the northern continent, and Ling Hanwei from Shuiyun Palace in the northern continent. The five people in Group E are: Sha Zhijie and Cheng Mingyao from Shuiyun Palace in the northern continent, Ye Jian from the Star Palace in the western continent, Guan Hao from Wangyue Palace in the western continent, Zhuang Jiaye from the Moyun Sect in the western mainland, and Lu Yu from the Wushuang Palace in Mainland China.
Looking at the five continents alone, although there are only two people in the eastern continent, Bai Fei and Luo Dongling, no one dares to underestimate their strength, while the southern continent is completely wiped out. Among these 25 people, the Western Continent occupies ten seats, the Northern Continent occupies seven seats, and the Central Continent occupies six seats. This shows that the strength of these three continents is extraordinary.
From a sect perspective, Wangyue Palace has four people entering the ninth round, Shuiyun Palace and Wushuang Palace are not far behind, with three and four people entering this round respectively. Leaving aside the central part, these three sects are undoubtedly the most powerful existences in the world of cultivation, and the northern continent is the second one. It is really unimaginable. How can two such powerful sects coexist?
From the perspective of grouping, the five people in Group B are all the most holy and powerful people. They can be said to be the "Group of Death". The intensity of the competition will be self-evident. Not only the three palaces in the central part will compete, but also the people in the northern continent will compete. Both giants have to compete. In Group E, no one has broken through to the holy realm. Anyone in Group B will definitely qualify.
Such groupings are all determined by drawing lots. Although some are happy and some are sad, everything has been settled. Obviously, no matter who advances in Group E, they will face a fierce attack from the eliminated Holy Powers. Unless, in the next five days, you can create a miracle and break through one level after another, but this possibility is really too small.
